Where the Rainbow Begins

Pegasi troubles with a helping filly

in inspected the blueprints closer this time, making sure each mechanism was proportioned the right way and the perimeter matched with the surface area…. science stuff that other pony’s won't touch… I was walking home when i notice three pony’s approaching me, i noticed them right away as the light flickered once on one of there horns, I turned to the side and began walking the other pathway when they stopped me,
    “where do you think your going Rainbowcrash!” one of them shouts, cornering me
    “home, now if you don’t mind, I'd like to get there” I stated, turning away, only to meet the head honcho, Storm Dancer, i glared at him and he only smirks
    “what a pathetic pegasi, can hardly flutter with those wings” he states, making circles around me
    i closed my eyes “nice to see you too brother”
    i then felt a swift blow to my stomach “you don’t ev the right callin em your broda, you useless trash” on of his friends states, an earth pony
    “yes, quite, can't fly yet her blood is pure pegasi royalty, what a travesty” the unicorn one states.
    i sighed, better get this over with “just jealous that I'm the prettier of the bunch of that I'm the smartest of the bunch, because not only are you guys an eye sore on hooves, but you completely have no brain”
    they lost it then, i was beaten an inch of my life, but this was a daily struggle, avoid my big brother, and making the new rainbow machine, so much bucking fun. i struggled to get up but as i wiped the side of my chin, red crimson droplets followed suit. i watched, in a daze like state before turning away, limping home where no on i knew to be.
    this has been going on for so long, and i knew i wasn’t the only one, i felt sadness when i see all the other pony’s who couldn’t fly be subjected to the same treatment that i have been going through, if only i had a way to end their suffering.


i lost track of days, performing new tasks to achieve a higher goal, getting chewed out by other pony’s, pointing and laughing, i’ll show them, i’ll show them all. after time had past i stopped going outside all together, my friends were worried about me and told me to get some fresh air, i bit back at them, spouting nonsense that i had no idea what, just to get them away, i have to accomplish this, no sleep, she’ll only get to me. i was taking a test subject, an apple, looking at it and how red it was i placed it into the machine, trying not to scream out i had DawnGuard power it up.
the machine buzzed and it various things sputtered until it stopped, a small purr of the engine it was working! excitement in my veins i tossed the apple in, practically running to the other side to see it being crushed, the apple being sucked of its color until finally it came out. my eyes grew wide at this i held out a hoof to catch only one droplet of red before it disappeared, evaporating into nothingness and leaving me to wretch in my own mind.
“Trinity, i’m so sor-” Dawn began but was interrupted
“NO!” I screamed out, peering in to the machine, “how can this be!!?! i measured it perfectly, to the very last molecule just for to give me one drop of evaporated juice!!” i then tossed my head up, letting a scream exit out of me
Dawn and Rain came to my side, giving me an embrace “Rainbow, shh, its alright, we’ll just make a better one, learn from our mistakes” Dawn states
“come on Tri, it ain’t that bad, we made it further than the other pony’s right?” i didn't notice i was crying until Dawn places a handkerchief on my cheek, drying away my tears
“B-But” i sobbed “no matter what, i always end in a failure, i thought i found my purpose when i delved into my technology but in the end i can’t even get that to work” i stated
i then turned away, walking and staring ahead of me “a failure at birth” i mimicked what my brother would say
i then felt a sharp pain on my cheek, i held it and looked up, looking pained i saw that it was Dasheroo, a fellow pegasi who couldn't fly well,
“Don’t think that way of yourself Rainbow!” She shouts, looking so determinedly at me “you’re better than that, you are cool, and awesome, always standing up for others, and if my hero thinks that lowly of themselves then where does that leave me!” She exclaims
    i was silent for a moment before i chuckled, “yeah, thats not really cool of me huh?” i stated before walking along side her, i couldn't help but watch her as she had grown from the small filly i knew a year ago.
