A remaking of this one - dawn22eagle.deviantart.com/art… because it didn't match at all the style I draw ponies with now. The headcanon rests more or less the same, I repost it here with a few little corrections and the adding of details just to keep everything at its place :3 If you've already read it in the past, I recommend to read it again ^^Firefly was the most competitive and skilled flier of Equestria. However, she was not part of the Wonderbolts, since at those times only young males could be part of the team. Firefly could win every challenge and every race, but they didn't want any fillies. Not that Firefly was a fancy and girly mare: infact, she was always either training or taking naps (that's where Rainbow Dash inherited this thing from) alone. The rare times she was "in public", she was surrounded by young stallions and colts, which she often ignored. She had never had a coltfriend, nor she wanted one. She hated everypony but her parents, even though she seldom visited them.At the other side of Cloudsdale lived a friendly and outgoing stallion, a bit elder than Firefly. Rainbow Strike was loved by all ponies, since he was always there to lend a hoof and help others. He was not such a great flier, but both his parents were Wonderbolts. His wide wings didn't allow him to move fast, nor did he had a great stamina. He'd never got in a relationship as well, even though he would have liked to have one. He worked as a Weather Pegasus and he had got his special talent thanks to his job: Pegasus magic belongs mainly to the control of weather (that's why Pegasi can stand and live on clouds and can master weather), and Rainbow Strike was particularly excellent, together with his companions, at creating rainbows amassing tiny raindrops by flapping gently his wings. He was so good that he soon became responsible of that team of Weather Patrol. He's the first (and only) pony who's ever been able to recreate the magical phenomenon of iridescent clouds (also known as rainbow clouds) simply by grazing the cloud slightly with his wings, to "correct" the imperfections of every microscopic drop so that each one of them had the same size.This absolutely unique talent made him one of the most popular colts in Cloudsdale, but when he declined requests of travelling around the world to perform shows and become possibly even more famous, soon everypony stopped talking about him and everything came back as it was.On Hearts and Hooves Day, as usual, Firefly was obliged to hide at the edges of the Everfree Forest because of the suffocating stallions. However, this time she went too far and she couldn't recognize the path that led outside. She was quite scared, but not as much as she was when a shadow appeared right in front of her. She screamed and jumped back, but then the shadow revealed to be just another stallion. A purple one, which she had never seen around her. He laughed as she blushed, still unable to believe she had been tricked by a fool. After arguing about what she was doing there, the stallion gently volunteered to get her to the exit of the forest. She decided to follow him, and she stayed behind him, with a pout on her muzzle, all the way long. When they finally reached the light, they discovered it was already sundown. Firefly sat on the grass, frowning, as Rainbow Strike flew above her and drew her attention. Look at that cloud, he said. She was skeptical: what was he going to do? Kick it? Such a big deal. She rolled her eyes, but her pupils widened at what she saw moments later. The young stallion had touched the cloud with his pinions, and the white, soft surface had become rainbow coloured. It was unbelievable, but that explained the cutie mark on Rainbow Strike's flank. Firefly was speechless, but as soon as she could gain conscience of what she had seen, she flew up and hugged the colt. - You're amazing! - she squeed, a thing that she had never said to any creature. It was the perfect colt for her, she just knew it. He didn't bother her with blether, he was neither conceited nor cocky nor pander, and he could do that beautiful thing with clouds. How could she resist him?And so, beautiful years of love began. They never betrayed one another - they had no reason to do it - and they were envied by every couple around. Sooner than she expected and wanted, Firefly found herself pregnant. They had always wished a foal, but they had planned it to happen a few years after their wedding. Now it was only a few weeks. Not that they complained about it, of course they didn't. But... they just thought they weren't ready. Especially Firefly. However, she had her husband on her side, and she discovered how beautiful being a mother was. It certainly wasn't easy, also because of the spicy temper of the filly they had, but there were a lot of fulfillments. Teaching Rainbow Dash, the brisk blue Pegasus, how to fly was one of these. The pest learned fast. Too fast... In a few months' time, at the age of 4 she was able to go anywhere she wanted, even though she got tired quickly.Rainbow's teens were not as "easy" as her foalhood. She was a daredevil who never listened to her parents, who always did stupid and dangerous things and flying tricks and who claimed to do whatever she wanted to. She got into several relationships, losing her innocence (in every sense) at a very young age, causing terrible concern and sorrow to her parents. They really didn't think their beloved daughter would have become like that, but there she was, spread wings and folded ears, shouting she wanted to go away. And that's what she did. She bought a house her own dad had designed years before, and went living there with her boyfriend. All of her relations had closed abruptly, and this one was not an exception. What the filly was looking for was only fun and excitement. And when she had taken what she wanted from the passing colt, it was time to abandon him and search another one cool enough for her. It was that period of her "plan", when, suddenly, something different happened: the colt refused to be left alone. After arguments and fights, Rainbow Dash was badly injured at her left wing and had to stay in hospital for a few months. The day after her restoration, Dash decided to come back to her parents' home, where they were certainly waiting for her. She felt more guilty than ever, and wanted to apologize for not having listened to them in the past. Firefly and Rainbow Strike welcomed her affectionately, and they all lived together for two years. At the beginning of the third one, in March, a terrible storm occurred near Cloudsdale. It took all the Pegasi who worked at Weather Patrol to control and calm it, but many failed. One of them was Rainbow Strike, who died in one of the small but powerful tornadoes which he was trying to hold. Firefly suffered as never before, and so did Rainbow Dash. They had lost part of their life along with his death, but they were strong enough to stand up and carry on. The tragedy struck the blue-maned mare most and, even though she wanted to live with her daughter, Rainbow Dash decided to move back to her cloud house. Since then, the blue pegasus visits her mother every month and sometimes sends her a letter. Every time, the pink mare's eyes twinkle at the sight of her daughter, some kind of reminder of the other thing that Firefly loved more than anything else: her husband.And here it is. Thank you for paying attention and, as always, enjoy and ask any question! :3
