Introduction: Usually I would't post blog wise about a story idea I had out of the blue, but since it's MLP FIM franchise inspired and I don't plan to make money off it (unless there's actual supporters out there that say it makes a great story) I figured there's no harm in writing just for fun on the backstory of my role play character Lightning Bliss. This isn't a role play however, this is a story I randomly thought up a couple nights ago, that I tended to day dream on when I got bored, so ya if ya'll like it give me a shout out, personally I just wanna get it off my head hehe. I will be posting an image per entry as well, for this entry the image will be late because I'm without my own computer with my art/media programs and no access to a scanner.
Lightning Bliss's Ultimate Love Search
The wind whiped past her ears as she dived towards the Cloudsdale arena at full speed, her eyes tearing the whole way. This was the day she'd perfect the Rainbow Dash technique, she could feel it in her hooves. Her wings were burning with anticipation as that invisble force tried to keep her from pushing the sound breaker that would cause the Sonic Rainboom. Even though Lightning Bliss knew she wasn't an athelete talent like Dash was, she had a huge love for the flying technique Dash had made famous from the last Air Competition held at the arena, and made it another determined love interest for her to pursue.
She had tried the technique several times over every other day, with failure at each time, but today something was different. Bliss had a need to try the trick again today, but oddly enough something else was motivating her then the love of being able to do it herself, something else was propelling her...another hidden interest she wasn't sure in her own mind was. Still keeping her form intact, wings flatten next to her white coat, her lips being pushed back by the force and eyes red with tears, her mind was elsewhere, trying to understand why she was not fully concentrating on the task at hand, that she didn't even noticed she broke the barrier till she heard the BOOM.
Ancient the golden pegasi pony, with his wild white mane and tail blowing in the cool morning air, heard the familiar BOOM followed by the bright rainbow flash of light that came with it. He turned his form in mid air towards the arena and immediatly knew who caused it. Unlike the orginal Sonic Rainboom from Rainbow Dash that was the pure color of the rainbow, this one was outlined with a black-purple and white outline, followed by the colors of the rainbow.
"All be, she did it!" He exclaimed and flapped his wings eagerly towards the arena as fast as he could muster. Ancient was a strong flyer by Cloudsdale standards but he never was much for sports himself, but he knew his young friend and apprentice flyer had finally achieved her goal and wanted to be there to congradulate her.
As he arrived at the arena he could see her clearly despite the bright tail of the dark rainbow following behind her, but he could see she was in trouble despite the spectacular show...She was zig zagging all over the top of the arena, spiraling out of control and screaming for help.
Bliss saw for a split second that Ancient was flying in the area and screamed as loud as she could:
"I CAN'T CONTROL IT HELP PLEASE HELP!!!" The young mare's voice was filled with terror.
Vigorously Ancient wasted no time and buzzed into the path of the wild rainbow lead by Bliss with his front hooves stretched to catch her. She slammed into him, pushing him along for the ride as he held on to her.
"Lightning Bliss relax!" He called into her ear to be heard over the wind, "flap your wings, your wings will control yourself, the boom is propelled by the force you created, flap your wings and it will reside!"
His words were coaxing just enough and Bliss obeyed her friends words and began to flap her wings. Almost immediatly they both slowed down till the dark rainbow diminished and they came to a hover outside the arena. Panting to catch her breath, she turned and hugged Ancient in gratitude and relief.
"I am NEVER doing that again," she yelled out to Ancient after finally catching her breath.
"But that was incredible Blissy!" He hugged her back proudly, "You've been working on that trick since the last Air competition and you finally achieved it! I bet even your idol Rainbow Dash would be proud!"
"She'd be laughing at me," Bliss shrugged the compliment away and huffed, "I was out of control, this was such a foolish love agenda of mine...least I can say I did it, but it's nothing to brag about if I couldn't control it..."
Something was up Ancient realized, it wasn't like Lightning Bliss to be so negative after she reached a goal of her own, even if it didn't go perfectly as she would have hoped. He took a second to observe her, hovering with her arms crossed in shame, ears down as well as her head, looking gloomy, a complete opposite to what her rainbow heart/black lightning bolt cutie mark represented.
"Maybe your not happy with your accomplishment," Ancient replied after a bit of observing, "is because your motives are now focused elsewhere? It's not unusual for your goals to be redirected elsewhere when you're in the midst of another after all my young friend."
Bliss thought about it for a second then lifted her head up to look at Ancient's cutie mark. Unlike her mark which was a bit more abstract in her talents and personality, his was more to the point, just like he was. A simple cracked silver crown that represented his leadership and wisdom that came with it. It was always like Ancient to remind her of the obvious facts that she tended to overlook, for she immediatly recalled before she achieved the sonic rainboom that her mind was preoccupied on something else.
"I remember I was upset..." she finally spoke up, "that if I were to accomplish the boom, that no one would see it..."
"But I saw it Blissy," he replied happily, "and it was amazing!"
"Oh I'm glad you saw it Ancient, please don't get me wrong, it's just..." she shook a moment, trying to gather her thoughts on what to say next, "it's just it didn't feel right that someone...special to me...didn't see it..."
"Oh...I see..." he nodded his head in realization...
His young mare friend was lonely, and needed a special stallion in her life to call her own. He knew for quite some time now that Lightning Bliss was lonely, ever since her breakup with Mind Gate, his wing partner and friend with the cutie mark of a gate on his silver coat. The two of them never really hit it off because they were friends first and were both fairly young when they saw the love intrest, but it was never meant to be. However it left Bliss's love interests spiral downward, leading her to lose interests in her passions. Probably why the Sonic Rainboom wasn't the success she was hoping for.
"Then prehaps it's time for you to leave the clouds," he replied to her confidently, "maybe you need to get out and explore the lands instead of the clouds for a bit. Focus on that goal at hand that's been bugging you for so long."
Bliss blinked at her friend's suggestion, and to began to wonder if it really was the time or not.
