Rainbow Dash walked into her bedroom. The sound of the door creaking followed her as she walked to the corner of the room. The corner that had a round window that the full moon would often directly shine through.
Rainbow Dash walked into her bedroom. The sound of the door creaking followed her as she walked to the corner of the room. The corner that had a round window that the full moon would often directly shine through.
Like right now granted it’s behemoth beauty was covered by a bunch of large clouds. Damn. She wished she could dive into them right now. Probably beat her own bed by a thousand percent.
The sound of 2 small hooves (and an even quieter pair of paws also) hitting the floor made Rainbow peek back and see a tiny wide eyed youngster.
“Mama?” little Thunderclap asked.
“Uhm, what’re you doing here Clap? I thought you were still opening presents? With Fifo and the other griffons.”
“Ahhhh….Trey and Fifo was….picked up annnd-”
RD chuckled at her sons struggle to make a sentence. Poor boi wasn’t as fast as the other griffons. Those kids grew like weed much too fast for a poor philly (or filly hybrid in this case) to catch up.
“Well it is a little late slick why don’t you go to bed”
All at once Thunder Claps eyes narrowed and his chest puffed up in defiance.
Rainbow chuckled at her son’s display. She lifted a hoof and gave his head a light noogie
“Easy there sargeant” Rainbow Dash chuckled “…tell you what, how about you go to sleep without a bath.”
Thunderclap eyes lit up and he chirped in happiness and his fur and feather rose up to form one big adorable poof ball. He looked like a cat with static shook.
Rainbow had to fight the erdge not to just laugh out loud on this kid.
“Settle down, settle down kid “ Rainbow said now how in celestia was she supposed calm him down now?
……………….
Sometime later when Rainbow had managed to wrassle Clap to sleep. The kid was tough, but once he puts his head down he fell into an instant coma. Rainbow smirked and stepped back admiring her her handy work. The boi slept like a cat, his paws hidden underneath him with his tail curled around his feet, his ear slightly twitch.
A well of love and pride swelled in Rainbow’s soul. Celestia, she thought she’d been passionate about the wonderbolts, but they almost paled in comparison to how much she loved ThunderClap (almost).
The Clouds must of parted because ThunderClap whole body was suddenly awashed in the moonlight. He paid no mind though with a small ear twitch indicating any disturbance.
Rainbow laughed but as much as it looked like Thunderclap had been basked by Luna’s hair it probably wake the little tike up sooner then later so she pushed the cradle to the left.
Rainbow smiled as she left the room and closed the door.
She stared at the now empty living room. Man the room was destroyed. Literally everything was shredded, The Balloons were shredded, the streamers were shredded the decorations were shredded everything was shredded. And rainbow could only laugh because she knew she had been 100% okay of what she’d herself gotten into. Correction she thought she knew what she had been getting herself into when she invited all the baby griffons down the street to celebrate Thunderclaps 3rd birthday but it still caught her by surprise to see the true destruction those little tikes could cause.
Rainbow groaned loudly at the mess she had to clean and proceeded to grab the broom with her wing and started dusting the floor. After 40 minutes she managed to get everything in the trash bags, but there was still loose paper and ripped balloon material hidden in various corners peeking out.
She threw the trash bags onto the balcony too tired to head out to the larger trash can down the street. She was about to tuck into the night when the familiar footsteps entered her ears.
Its was Gilda
For a griffon Gilda was unusually loud in her trots. Tonight, just like the thousands of nights before, were clumsy and managed to haphazardly shove in the key and enter the house. Her abrasive whistling piercing the home. Gilda walked in like nothing was the wiser and with her obnoxious whistling headed straight into the kitchen doing a little jig along the way.
Rainbow Dash didn’t even turn around “ you know it’s late” she said
Gilda kept whistling as she grabbed a coke and opened it with her claws.
“It’s late Gilda” Rainbow repeated
“Hm?”
“It’s late and Thunderclap is sleeping. And your annoying ass whistling is gonna wake him up”
“Geez can I at least hum?”
Rainbow didn’t even answer, her face was still to the door. The silence was palpable but usually Gilda pretended to pay no mind. She continued to finagle in the kitchen getting out food and eating what little rations they had left after the party.
“Your late” Rainbow said again this time demanding whatever excuse Gilda could muster up. Like an old infuriating routine.
“Awww tsk Rainbow you know…. ah Emerald and I had a late night meeting. Working out the configurations of”
“Oh let me guess a late night meeting, was it because of contracts, campaigning, negotiating or was it because you guys wanted to pat each other on the backs again.” Rainbow said this time turning around and facing her partner.
Gilda finally stopped dead in her tracks. Her makeshift sandwich inches from her beak. She put it down.
“Ah, I guess I might of been busy lately”
“For six months busy” Rainbow said with dripping sarcasm
Now she had Gilda’s full attention. The griffon was no spouting a freshly “oh I been caught in my own fucked trap”
“What is it?” Gilda said trying to play it cool
“Whats what”
“You know,” Gilda moaned “whats..what’s with this cold wing”
“It’s been six months Gilda. I haven’t seen your sorry ass for 6 months!” Her hooves stomped against the hardwood floor. But she managed to maintain her voice at a lower volume.
“Thunderclap, your own son if you remember, barely even know what you look like. You know how many times he stands by the entrance with his little ears twitching just waiting to see a glimpse of his other mommy! Just for a chance. “
“Look listen I admit I’ve been a bit busy lately-”
“You already fucking said that”
“ Look griffons just always need to see me. Either for my opinion or my approval. You don’t understand Rainbow I get thousands of calls at my front office everyday to settle some dispute or to right something off or to-”
“Yeah I know. All of griffon stone gets to see and talk to the mayor except her own family. I walk into the main office and its like they don’t even know me. I have to jump through a hundred hurdles just to see your face”
“Well we had a change in management and-”
“Do they even know you have a partner and kid because everytime I come their office i’m quickly escorted out or i’m stuck in the waiting room and––what’s with that face?”
Rainbow asked and she watched as Gildas whole body tensed within a millimeter of her life. Her eyes zeroed into pinpricks and her claws dug into floor leaving visible indents on the ground.
And it hit Dash
Her words come out like heavy slats of granite “Are…. you…fucking KIDDING ME!?
“Look, look, look look it’s not what it seems”
“What do you mean its not what it seems it’s as plain as your fucking claw marks! You’ve been lying to me this whole time!!”
“Babe your gonna wake up the baby”
Rainbow clenched her jaw tighter then a jar cap “ThunderClap his name is Thunderclap now tell why the fuck doesn’t your precious pr team know about me and Clap”
“Well listen. Now don’t get upset.”
“I been upset for a long time im fucking furious now tell me”
“Listen, listen you know how griffon stone is really different from ponyville like worlds apart like equestria is here and griffonstone is here.”
“I’ve been living here for point 5 years Gilda I know how different it is. What I don’t know is why after 5 years of helping you, volunteering, campaigning and all of Stone Claw street knowing my name, age and what food I like. Why you decided of all creatures to just PRETEND Thunderclap and I DONT EXIST!
“Well it wasn’t my idea okay Emerald just thought it could, you know, fix my image”
“Fix it!? FIX WHAT!”
“ Well you see. Griffonstone isn’t exactly open to new changes really and this new independent state thingy is allot of new changes. Mayors,legislature, streets, infrastructure. You know this is all new. So my pr team didn’t want to further alienate the public so we figured that a single me would be more palatable. Families aren’t exactly a sign of strength let alone a mixed-”
Rainbow Dash snapped her eyes up. Her two burgundy orbs nothing short of raging fury.
“What” those words were short and cold. The room felt like ice underneath Gildas feet and she started backpedaling. She had done fucked up.
Her words which were swift before came out in a lightning garbled speed
“Well-wwell you know- you know<’/i>! M-most of griffonstone isn’t ex- exaclty welcoming towards ponyfolk” she kept backpedaling further “Besides Stone Claw I m-mean! M-mm most of griffonstone are hardcore speciests annnd and Emerald said this would significantly boost my ratings you kno-”
“Do you care about your image so much you’d rather sacrifice your family then risk dirtying your ass!”
“Well ah’ “
“ don’t you ‘well ah’ me! I have been here from the fucking beginning I was there for you when this street was just a bunch of straw and gravel! I was here for you! I didn’t care about everyone’s racist remarks, I cared about you! I cared about having a future with you!
“Lll-loook Look look Im sorry Im sor-” Gilda’s speech halted when her rear hit the table that bolted to the floor.
And that’s when Rainbow Dash shot after her. Her lightning speed zoomed her across the living room to dining/kitchen area in point five seconds as she collided into Gildas chest and landed a solid punch onto her face. The sound making a sizable crack in the room. A visible crack could be seen on Gildas beak and a red welt quickly started forming on her cheek.
She could only lie breathless as her body collapsed onto the table.
Seeing that GIldas was in no position to retaliate Rainbow lay onto her fallen partner as tears streamed down her face. However she couldn’t lay there and cry.
As if on cue a timid creak could be heard. But before Thunder Clap could poke his head out Rainbow Dash galloped over and blocked his gaze.
“Get your things ThunderClap”
“Whu Huh?”
“Were going on a little trip Thunder get your blanket and my satchel.”
And her tone must of said it all because ThunderClap preceded to scamper inside to grab his things.
Rainbow Dash closed the door quietly.
The room was in stark contrast of what she felt inside, still and quiet, while she boiled on the inside.
But one small question still finagled her mind a question she was quickly realizing was pointless to ask.
“Do you always listen to your secretary”
“Wha?” Gilda managed to only groan out a pained answer answer. She must’ve broken a rib because Gilda’s body lay their unmoving.
“I said do you always listen to pretty little Emerald. Do you” A small hiccup escaped her wrung throat but Rainbow Dash managed to clamp herself and through clenched teeth she asked. “Dddid you cheat with her.”
Silence then a broken sigh expelled from Gilda.
A sob escaped Rainbow, but before she could crumble she swung the door open grabbed Thunderclap and her satchel and flew out in a flurry of feathers.
The cold, crisp air a relief on her body

Phew Finally finished writing this piece! Not gonna lie I procrastinated haaaaard on this bu just a couple days ago I was hit with inspiration and managed to finally finished writing the first draft! After that was a series of rewrites and corrections n’ stuff, but I finally finished!!
Btw feel free to comment and critique my writing if you think so. I know I probably misspelled some words. But do you guys think this was a good enough reason for rainbow dash to leave? Was the buildup okay? Did I managed to capture her personality and dialect?
