Dear Diary, you won't believe it!
-
School was boring as usual, but after i came home Mom and Dad said they had a surprise for me.
-
At first i thought it would be the dog i wished for since Christmas.
-
But it was even better!
-
I followed them into my room and there was it. A animal carrier.
-
I looked inside but I couldn’t really see what it was.
-
So i opened it and after a few moments something stepped out.
-
A blue pony! With wings! And its mane was in all the colors of a rainbow!
-
I have never seen anything like it!
-
It was so awesome!
-
I had a thousand questions but it only told me its name. Rainbow Dash.
-
It seemed scared.
-
Mom and Dad said i should give her some rest because she just got here.
-
I can't wait for tomorrow when i see her again!
-
That's it for today!
-

>You can remember it as clear as day

>All your friends were sold off to some weirdos
-
>And you were so happy that the people who bought you looked like decent people
-
>You were a mess back then, everything was...
-
>You were so afraid after what happened to you and your friends in the camps
-
>And so afraid after they split you apart
-
>You can still hear Rarity crying when they took her
-
>But when that little fellow opened your box
-
>His bright smile, his large sparkling eyes

>Looking at you in awe
-
>No hostility, just innocence
-
>A smile creeps its way on your face
-
>He was so exited, hugging his dad, his mom and you
-
>You could barely breathe
-
>His parents had to pull him away from you
-
>You chuckle
-

>Day 02
-
Dear diary,
-
This morning I overslept because I couldn’t sleep all night.
-
I had to run to the school bus and forgot my breakfast at home.
-
I couldn’t focus all day, and the teacher called me to the blackboard in math.
-
I didn’t even know what exercise we were supposed to solve.
-
It was so embarrassing! Everybody laughed at me!
-
But the school went by in a flash.
-
I couldn’t wait to get home.
-
I told all my classmates about my new pet! I’m sure they are all jealous!
-
When i was at home mom said i have to do my homework before i can play with her.
-
That’s was so unfair!
-
After lunch I did my homework as fast as i could.
-
Rainbow Dash is still a little shy but i showed her all my toys!
-
I promised her she can play with all of them.
-
That made her relax a little bit.
-
Dad said i cant take her outside to play until we know that she will behave herself.
-
So we spend the whole afternoon in my room and played games.
-
She is from a different land named Equistea.
-
She is so smart! I bet she can help me with my homework too.
-
But she didn’t want to fly in my room.
-
And she doesn’t like to be touched at her wings.
-
Anyway i have to go to bed.
-
-
>You start to laugh
-
>That promise
-
>How he told you that you can play with everything
-
>proudly smiling from ear to ear
-
>as if it would have made you feel any better
-
>Asking you again and again to fly
-
>Touching your sensitive wings without permission
-
>all these questions about your home
-
>fun times
-
>His dad treated you well while he was busy doing his homework
-
>Telling you that if you behave yourself, you would would gain more privileges
-
>His serious tone, to be careful not to hurt his son
-
>It was so strange
-
>after everything went down, the camps, the auction
-
>it was a human child who gave you hope again
-
>hope for better times
-
>but this little fella, he sure was a handful
-
-
-
>Day 5
-
I cant believe it!
-
While i was at school Rainbow Dash messed up my entire room!
-
She even broke my model of the red baron!
-
It took me ages to get it right!
-
I hate her!
-
I was busy the whole afternoon with homework and cleaning up my room.
-
...
-
-
>oh Celestia, he was so pissed when he came to his room
-
>yelling and close to tears
-
>you were bored all day and you had the brilliant idea of trying to fly inside of his room
-
>your room
-
>it was the first time you flew in a long time
-
>you tried to get the room tidy before he got home but you made to much of a mess
-
>you had such a guilty conscience
-
>the next day when he was at school you tried to repair his favorite model
-
>you tried your best, but your hooves and mouth are not very precise tools
-
>the stench of the adhesives
-
>i looked like crap but the gesture counts
-
-
>you continue to browse through the pages
-
>you have read each and everyone a million times
-
>and this one is one of your favorites
-
-
>Day 21
-
Dear Diary,
-
Rainbow can be so mean sometimes!
-
After school i had an appointment at the eye doctor, and afterwards i got some glasses.
-
When i came home Dashie burst into laughter!
-
She called me egghead all the time.
-
Even dad got mad and grumbled
-
...
-
-
>just remembering it lets you burst into laughter again
-
>lil' Anon with his glasses
-
>when he came home he didn’t want to meet you at first
-
"Dashie, i will come in but please don’t laugh..."
-
>Those were his words
-
>it was hilarious!
-
>but his father got really angry and you didn’t get dinner that day, like you were a child too
-
>Anon smuggled some of his into his room, despite your behavior that day
-
-
>you continue to browse through the diary
-
>the first day you were allowed in the garden
-
>the first day you were allowed to fly without the shock collar
-
>and the day you met spitfire again
-
>she had gained the trust of her new masters as well
-
"We have to start a rebellion. We have to fight for our freedom."
-
>Words that inspired you, even though you hesitated
-
>you had a decent place to live and a ...friend
-
-
>Day 1XX
-
Dear Diary,
-
I’m so worried!
-
Dashie sneaks out, every single night!
-
She is tired every morning, and when i asked her about it she won't tell me.
-
I haven’t told mom and dad about it.
-
I don’t want them to get angry.
-
She returns every morning and i pretend i don’t wake up, but i know something is wrong.
-
She seems to be lost in thought sometimes.
-
Its as if she drifts away from me.
-
I know she had a difficult past, and i want to help her, but i cant if she wont tell me anything.
-
Tomorrow is the big parade and dad allowed me to see it with her, maybe this will cheer her up.
-
...
-
-
>they day before the parade
-
>the day before your rebellion
-
>the rattling of keys catches your attention
-
>you close the the book
-
"I guess its time..."
-
>i was the last page anyway
-
>"Prisoner 1R5XS-Rainbow Dash lay down on the floor and spread out your legs"
-
>you do as you are told
-
>the door to your cell opens and a guard enters the room
-
>shackles are put on your legs
-
>"Stand up."
-
>this is the part you hate
-
>the straps around your wings
-
>normally you’d make a scene, give the guards hell
-
>but today you just let it happen
-
-
>a few moments later you are in the prisoner bus
-
>you are the only prisoner inside
-
>the driver, a few guards and you
-
>the atmosphere is stifling
-
>the gates open and the bus starts moving
-
>you see the mob of people that are outside of the prison
-
>you hear their cheers
-
>you turn your head away
-
>would you do it the same way given the opportunity again?
-
>after that fateful day things changed for the better
-
>for most of the people
-
>after the riots cooled down there are no slaves anymore
-
>during the trip you cant really focus your thoughts on anything anymore
-
>its as if your mind is completely frozen
-
>the trees move in the distance
-
>this drive takes forever
-
-
>you arrive at your destination
-
>the doors open and you step outside
-
>you can her the gravel crunch under your hooves
-
>the ground seems to siphon the life of you with every step you take
-
>there they are
-
>you haven’t seen them in ages
-
>both wear black
-
>she is holding flowers
-
>he holds a small box
-
>you and the four guards to stop in front of them
-
>You went have gone through it hundreds of times in your mind
-
>But now you cant find the words
-
>There is no anger in their faces, not anymore
-
>Tears start to well up
-
"I... I'm so Sorry!"
-
>"Lets go, Rainbow Dash"
-
>his voice is filled with sadness
-
>if he would decide to beat you to death right here and now, you wouldn’t even resist
-
>but all he does is to turn around
-
>"he is waiting..."
-
>you hear his voice cracking and he moves his hand to his face
-
>your group moves in silence through the paths of the yard
-
>the graves on either side of the way don’t have any meaning to you
-
>but when you turn into the narrow path with the smaller graves you can barely breathe anymore
-
>"we are here"
-
"Hello, Anon i have missed you."
-
>His mom lays down the flowers
-
>"Rainbow i have something for you, he would want you to have it"
-
>He places the box in front of you
-
>you carefully open it
-
>there is a model of a biplane, and its assembled terrible
-
>it is painted blue, your cutie mark is painted on the wings, by a child’s hands
-
>you look at it for a moment, and then at his grave

>you open your eyes and give a yawn
-
>the room is still dark

>"Rainbow, i want to talk to you for a moment."

>good
-
"Yes, sir."

>your stomach is turning upside down
-
"I'm honored, sir, but i don't feel up to the task."
-
>"Look, I don’t know what happened between you two, but Anon BEGGED me, to let the two of you go."
-
>this is so wrong...
-
"Sir, I really..."
-
>"Rainbow Dash!"
-
>His tone almost makes you think you are talking to your dad
-
>But he isn’t YOUR dad, he is your master and you are his slave.
-
>No amount of trust, sympathy or privilege can change that.
-
>A bird in a golden cage is still a bird in a cage...
-
>you have to object!
-
"I..."
-
>he cuts you off with a soft voice
-
>"Rainbow, you are family to him, and he is worried sick because of you, please do me the favor and enjoy the parade together with him."
-
>why do they have to make this so hard on you?
-
>you hang your head
-
"Yes, Sir..."
-
>you'll manage somehow
-
>you turn around and head for the front door, where Anon is already waiting

"I, know. Goodbye."
-
-
-
-
>you two arrive at the parade
-
>its easy for the two of you to reach the front row
-
>"This is sooo amazing, Dashie!"
-
>its loud and so crowded that you don’t have much room to move
-
>when you were just a filly you were amazed too
-
"Yeah, it sure is."
-
>you could cry but you force a smile
-
>its almost time
-
>"Thank you for coming with me today!"
-
"Sure"
-
>Anon sure is enjoying himself
-
>but from time to time he looks at you and the happy smile fades from his lips
-
>"Dashie, i don’t know what makes you worry all the time but please promise me that you you won't sneak anymore. I'm getting worried too."
-
"I won't sneak out anymore, i promise."
-
>its the truth
-
>suddenly you are hugged
-
>"Thank you!"
-
>you don’t move until you see Spitfire flying above the parade

-
"Go home, Anon!"

"We are living beings! We will no longer be treated as objects!"

-
"We are sentient like you! You have no right to take our freedom away!"
-
>it doesnt take long until other ponies join you from the crowd

"We are no longer slaves!"
-
>a few moments later you see trash flying towards the ponies
-
>>>"BOOOOOOO!"
-
>you can see police officers rushing to your camp
-
>and even a some humans start to join you
-
"We will not move! We will no longer be your slaves!"
-
>the amount of demonstrators grows with every passing moment
-
>the atmosphere is getting heated up
-
>after a minute you can see bottles being thrown

>the crowd and the supporters start to shout at each other
-
>the officers rushing to the site have to keep them away from each other
