A small drabble of what I think Rainbow Dash would be like as a mother. Also my first go at Pony and not Equestria Girls. >Racing through the air. >The feel of the wind beating at your face at supersonic speeds. >Everything around you a blur. >A feeling you are all too familiar with. >And welcome. >For you are Rainbow Dash. >Captain of the Wonderbolts. >An elite group that really doesn't need an introduction. >Which is good because you don't really have time to explain. >You are in a hurry. >And you are rushing through the sky with all of your strength. >Are you rushing to aid in a catastrophe? >Is Equestria's fate on the line? >Nope. >Equestria has been in a state of peace and prosperity for many years. >No. >You are rushing against time because you are late. >Your foal was due off school 10 minutes ago. >And you were stuck at the Wonderbolts training facility. >Some cadets found it humorous to pull a prank on some of the new recruits. >And while you can appreciate a good prank. >Anything that would interfere with your time with your child, then there would be Tartarus to pay. >And pay they will. Dearly. >Another day. >Now, you must make up for the lost time. >Which isn't to say you're a lousy mother. >Far from it! >You think you're an awesome mother! >But with your duties to the Wonderbolts and the Academy and the counsel of Friendship with Princess Twilight Sparkle. >You cherished your time with your little one greatly since you couldn't spend every day with him. >Today you were going to take your little colt to his after school club activities. >Ponyville was just in sight and approaching fast. >You decided to settle in Ponyville for the simple fact that while you and your foal were both Pegasus Ponies, the father was not. >So relocating to Ponyville was an easy way for all parties involved. >You didn't mind one bit. >You had many friends still living in the area. >And you've grown to love the place ever since you were assigned here all those years ago when you worked for the Weather Patrol. >You begin to slow down and make you decent to the small wooden schoolhouse. >You can see several foals with their parents still lounging around the school. >And you see him. >Your little Wondercolt, as you like to call him. >A small green colt with a black mane. >Despite him being a Pony, he looks a lot like his father. >Who was not. >Long story. >For another time. >At least he had your eyes! >You see him sitting out in front of the schoolhouse. >Next to the teacher, Ms. Cheerilee. >From your distance you can see him looking sad. >Did something happen? >You instantly speed back up and you almost crash land right in front of the schoolhouse. >Your semi harsh landing sent out a small shockwave on the ground, startling anypony who was around you. >You didn't care. >Your child looked sad. >And you were going to find out why. >Once everypony else realized what had just happened, they all saw that it was you. >Instantly, many of the onlookers went from frightened and angered to excited. >Here was the one and only Rainbow Dash. >Heroine to Equestria. >Wonderbolt Captain. >All the good stuff. >Many of the Ponies try to crowd you and ask for your autograph. “Thanks, everypony, but I'm here for my foal.” >You say unceremoniously plain as you begin to maneuver your way through the crowd of admirers. >Finally you make it to your colt and Ms. Cheerilee. “I'm so sorry I'm late!” >You apologize profusely to the aging teacher and bow your head. >The magenta Pony simply waves her hoof. >”I understand things can be a bit hectic trying to train the Wonderbolts.” >She says all to easily like it's no big deal. >You finally look up at over to your foal and sure enough. He looks a bit sad. “Did anything happen to him?” >You ask. >Cheerilee shakes her head. >”Just some other foals were trying to get under his skin.” >She then looks down to the young colt. >”But he handled it very well.” >She has a look of pride on the youngin. >”You've been raising him well.” >You stand tall and stick your chest out in pride. >Of course you're raising him well. >After all, you're awesome! >Your colt finally gets up from his spot and slowly trots over to where you are. >You take your hoof and muffle his mane. “Heya Squirt!” >”Hi mom.” >He lowly says. >You take a double take at him. >He's usually not this down. >You're gonna need to talk to him. “Well, thanks for watching him Cheerilee! We've got to get going!” >You wave your hoof out to Cheerilee. >You and your colt then try to pass through the group of ponies that have now gathered because of your presence. “Sorry everypony, we're in a hurry!” >You both finally break free of the now disappointed crowd and both begin to stretch your wings and fly off. >Going in the air at a reasonable pace. >Your little foal has been silent the whole time. “So, how was school?” >You start your not-interrogation into what happened at school. >He just still sulks for a moment. >Then he looks over to you. >”I don't think I want to go to O&O club anymore.” >That was out of left field. >The little one LOVES that dumb game. >Maybe not that dumb. >You've dabbled in a game or two in your life. >Magically enhanced by Discord was the only reason it was even fun. >But it certainly wouldn't be your first choice of activity. >Or second. >Or third. >You try to see what made the sudden change of heart. “Well, if you don't want to play it anymore I won't stop you, but why?” >You ask. >He looks over to you with that look you hate. >That weaponized look of sadness that could make any parent bend to their foal's will. >He then looks away from you. >”I don't want to talk about it.” >You then speed up to get in front of him to halt him in his tracks. “Now you hold it right there mister.” >You say in a rare stern voice to him. “I'm fine with you wanting to quit O&O club, but first you need to tell me why and does it have to do with what happened in school?” >He looks up to you again with that same look. >But you were prepared for it this time and didn't budge. >Now real tears start to form in his eyes. >Uh oh, did you do something wrong? >”Are you proud of me?” >He finally blurts out. >What kind of question is that? “What? Why would you even ask such a thing?” >He wipes his eyes dry of the tears that are now starting to fall. >”A lot of the other foals were teasing me at school.” >He continues >”Telling me about how I could be the son of the famous Rainbow Dash but didn't have any interest in competitive flying, and would rather play that lame Ogres & Oubliettes game instead.” >He bows his head in shame. >”Telling me how disappointed you must be in me for not wanting to be a Wonderbolt like you.” >He starts to cry. >You begin to swell with rage. >The nerve of foals these days. >Then your heart sinks. >You admit, you weren't too thrilled he didn't want to follow in your hoofsteps. >Not even showing an interest in Buckball either. >He loves his puzzles and board games. >Then his father had pointed something out that you never realized. >The poor kid would have so much pressure placed upon him because of who you are. >Sure, he's your colt, so you know he would be up to it. >Then again, would he? >You thought about it long and hard. >And perhaps they were right, it would have been too much, especially if his heart wasn't in it. >But back at the problem at hand. “Why would you EVER believe what those stupid foals think and not me?” >You exclaim. “I'm your mother!” >The poor kid still isn't convinced. >You sigh and collect your thoughts. “Look at me.” >You instruct your child. >He does so with still teary eyes. “No matter what you want to do in your life, your father and I will ALWAYS be by your side!” >You inch closer. “And as long as you are happy, and give it your all, and then another 20 percent on top of that, then I will always be proud of you!” >You're right next to him. “No matter what.” >He looks down. >He begins to shake. >Finally he lunges and hold you for a big hug. >Sobbing into your Wonderbolts Jacket. >You match his embrace. >And hold him tight. >Never wanting to let him go. >”Thank you.” >He whispers. >You then nuzzle his mane. “Anytime Squirt.” >You finally break free from the mother son moment. “And besides, If neither your dad nor I are there, you better believe Gramps Hothoof and Granny Whistles will be there to cheer extra hard.” >He giggles at your too true comment. >His tears are now gone and a new look of determination on his face. “Now then, how about we get you to your club session so you can show the others how awesome you can be!” >He nods his head with confidence. “That's the spirit!” >You lead the charge forward. >And your colt follows soon behind >With a new sense of pride. >You are an awesome mother.
