Ch. 11: My Little Back-To-School Tales: Manors and Heroes (Told by Rainbow Dash)

      There aren't a lot of people who know that my family resides in a huge, cloud-made mansion called "Rainbow Manor". The only people who know are my family, me, my 5 closest friends (it took me forever to tell them), my friends' siblings (some of them), Scootaloo (a girl who is my biggest fan), and my boyfriend of 3 years, Soarin' (I'm still trying to muster up the courage to tell my friends I'm dating - especially Applejack, who is boyfriend-less... but Fluttershy's single by choice, so...). I'll talk about Soarin' later.

   Anyway, it's 8:00am (9-1-14) and I'm racing toward Ponyville Station, the main train station for Ponyville, a town founded by Applejack's ancestors, funny enough (shouldn't the girl be as rich as me by now? *Gasp* Maybe she's hiding it like I did!). The town was named for the horses that carried the Apple family to the land they settled on (*Sigh* Why the hell am I giving you a history lesson? I just lost major coolness points in the last two minutes!). Let's come back to the present. I don't know why I'm racing to the station; flying at my normal speed, I'll be there by 8:02. Ponyville is right by Cloudsdale. It's pretty much under Rainbow Manor (sort of).

      Don't even get me started on what happened yesterday. It was one of those typical Rainbow Family family dinners. Every member was sitting at the ginormous, long table (the kind you see in every mansion in movies or in TV shows) and, as usual, Uncle Storm Cloud was frowning at... whatever he was frowning at. He's the grumpiest dude I've ever seen in my life (if I don't count Mr. Cranky Doodle Dandy, one of my teachers at Canterlot High). He's the father of my cousins, Rainbow Flash and Crystal Rainbow. But he wasn't the problem. The problem was that Aunt Sharp Wings, the mother of my cousin, Rainbow Blitz, and the woman who used to be (emphasis on "used to") married to my Uncle Cloudus Jr. (my mom's older brother), had come to visit. She's always bothering me about being lady-like and ends up offending my mother. Aunt Sharp ruins most of our family dinners because she starts some argument that is somehow always centered around me (sounds crazy right?)! I mean, what did I do to this woman? Last night's argument (the one where I finally snapped; I'm gonna start from the minute Aunt Sharp entered the house):

Nana Mist (my grandmother, Rainbow Mist; *Opening the manor's front door*): Oh, hello, Sharp Wings! It's so nice to see you!

Rainbow Blitz (Running to the door): Mom! Guess what?

Aunt Sharp (Hugging Rainbow Blitz): Yes, sweetie?

Rainbow Blitz (Smiling like a goof): I got a silver medal in the sports competition at school!

Aunt Sharp (With a serious expression): Oh. So who won gold?

Rainbow Blitz (Still smiling like a goof): Well, Rainbow Flash and I won the silver, but (pointing to me) Dash, who's only, like, the best athlete to fly these skies, won the gold!

Aunt Sharp (Looking at me out of the corner of her eyes): Congratulations, Rainbow Dash. (With an obviously fake smile) You never fail to amaze us all.

      I knew the witch was mad at me because I beat her son in the competition. Ugh. I hate her attitude.

Me (Pretending nothing was wrong): Thanks. (To Nana Mist with a Rainbow Blitz-y goof grin) I'm starving. What's for dinner?

Nana Mist (Smiling at us all): Come to the dining hall and see!

      We followed nana into the dining hall (while most of my family members like to walk through Rainbow Manor, I prefer to fly through it - which I did). Some moments later, as the rest of the family was eating, Aunt Sharp starts this convo:

Aunt Sharp (Smiling): Can you believe that my little Blitzy -

Rainbow Blitz (Looking embarrassed as the rest of us teenagers snickered): Mom!
