Rainbow Dash had an upside down grin on her face, she is upset that she's been kicked out of the Wonderbolts, and how her life is turning from great to worst. Then she heard knocking from the cell bars. She then turned around. It was the mare from earlier who was smoking weed and called her a bitch. She had a sad look on her face, her grin was upside down. She said, "Hey, miss... I- I just want to apologize for calling you a bitch... I usually don't apologize for what I do and act tough but I regret what I did... your life is ruined, I overheard... your conversation with your boss.. Can.. you forgive me?"

There was silence for a few seconds, Rainbow was staring at the mare. Then Rainbow Dash said, "Yes, I forgive you.. also I want to say sorry if I was bothering you!" Then there was another short silence.

The mare and Rainbow was staring at each other, then the mare hid her face. a red tint glow on her face. Then she said, "So are you new here?"

Rainbow slowly nodded her head. The mare then said, "Don't worry, this prison isn't as bad as it looks, I been here for a year, don't show weakness, try acting tough and if you want you can join a gang or ask a cop for protection.. and by the way my name is Grumpy.. yours?"

Rainbow Dash nodded her head and replied, "Okay, thanks and my name is Rainbow Dash!"

Grumpy then said, "Okay, bye.. friend.." Then grumpy walked away. Rainbow Dash was smiling, she made a friend in prison. Maybe prison won't be as bad as she thought. 

When she was sitting in the bed, there was peace in her cell and in her heart. She then took a deep breath and decided to wait when she got out of prison so she can rejoin the Wonderbolt and see her friends again and not through a glass wall or cell bars. Then all of a sudden, she heard commotion from outside the cell. She walked out of the cell and saw that some tall ponies, with dragon tattoos on their hooves. One had a violet coat with blue hair, one had a yellow coat with blue mane, and the other one had a purple coat with blue hair. One of them which Rainbow Dash thinks is their leader or their friend was wearing an eyepatch has a light orange coat with yellow hair. One of the ponies had a yellow coat and the blue mane had a long, thin, and red scar on her face yelled, "Give us your bits... now!"

There was a short pony with a light green coat and red hair. He had light blue eyes. He said, "No- No.."

the tall ponies was a pony with a yellow coat and blue mane had a long, thin, and red scar on his face yelled, "GIve it... or else!"

Rainbow Dash then stepped forward and said, "Leave him alone, or else!"

One of the ponies had a yellow coat and blue mane had a long, thin, and red scar on his face turned around and said, "Or else what... you don't wanna mess with me... I am here for fifteenth counts of murder, and bank robbery..."

Rainbow Dash had an angry look on her face, she said, "Oh please, I can beat you any day, any time... you are just a bully with a small heart!"

Then the mare who was bullying the poor stallion said, "Then, we will fight in the prison yard.. tomorrow at 5pm.... I suggest you call your doctor and a local mortician."

Then her and the other ponies left, they had an evil smirk on their face. Rainbow Dash was confident that she would defeat the bully, she is strong and brave. Nopony can take her down, pride filled in her heart.

She then turned to the bully and lend out her hoof. She helped the stallion up and asked in a caring tone, "Are you alright and what happened?" 

The stallion said, "I am fine, they were asking me for money so they can give it to their friends so their friends can bail them out.. when I said no they asked again in an angrier tone.. they pushed me and then you came, yelled at them.."

Rainbow Dash looked at Super Sketch and asked, "Why is a nice pony like you here in prison?"

Super Sketch then replied in a sad tone, "My name is Super Sketch. I am here for Fraud... I don't like school, school wasn't for me also due to my low grades and the fact it will take extra years for me to graduate I thought to drop out. I thought my dream job, Sketch Artist won't require a diploma.. and school is overrated. "

He then continued, "Then I found my dream job, Sketch Artist. But it required a school diploma.. it was the only job in Ponyville I didn't wanna leave this town, I have so much precious memories and going far away will mean I will be far from family.. and friends.. I hate that I would be far from my wonderful family.... and it paid well... uh... around 70,000 bits per year.... s- so I made a fake diploma and applied... and they quickly knew it was fake and the police were notified and now I am here in prison, I got 2 years..."

Rainbow Dash listened closely to his story. Super Sketch continued, "I hope my family will not hate me and treat me like a burden..  like.. my uncle.. who was  named...Fries.. he  was arrested for Possession of drugs... he wanted to sell drugs and buy a ring for his marefriend.. he was caught within a day and his family cut all ties with him.. I never saw him again... my mom told me the story when I asked about any family secrets.. I am just an idiot bitch who made a bad choice.. why is Ponyvile society so unforgiving to criminals like you and me?"



Rainbow Dash nodded her head and said, "That's sad... plus I don't think your family will do that.. I mean... families love, support and defend each other.. I hope life gets better for you!"

Super Sketch replied, "Thanks..." and walked away. Thoughts of his ruined life and his family treating him like a burden and cutting ties with him storm his mind, water floods his eyes. 

Rainbow Dash then remembered what Super Sketch said, "She wanted money so she can give it to her friends so her friends can bail her out!" She thought that if she asked her friends she thought that they would bail her out then she can rebuild her life and everyone will forgive her for her recklessness. She also didn't want to fight or she will be in trouble again and get more time in prison. While the bully gets away with a warning or solitary confinement. With determination in her heart, she walked up to one of the red phones that was attached to the wall. She then dialed some numbers. There was a beep when RD dialed numbers. Then, after she finished pressing buttons, the phone ranged.


Then, the phone continued ranging, after a few minutes, which felt like forever. She heard a mare ask, "Hello, who am I talking to?" it was Twilight Sparkle, one of her best friends. Rainbow Dash knows what to do, she will ask Twilight to bail her out. She feels like she can not spend another day here and desires to rebuild her life and avoid getting in trouble for fighting with those bullies from earlier.


She then replied, "I am Rainbow Dash, I am in prison for my crimes.." She had a worried look on her face.

Twilight had a serious look on her face, she then replied, "I know, I saw you on the news.."

Sweat raced down Rainbow Dash's face when she heard that. She gulped. She then said, "Uh... okay... so... anyway... I need to ask you.. a question!.. just one.."

Twilight sighed and said, "What is it?"

Rainbow Dash then took a deep breath, she then spoke, "Get bits and bail me out... I- I wanna rebuild my life and fix my mistakes... I wish I could travel back in time and prevent my dumb younger self from drinking and killing at mare who was about to marry someone..."

Twilight then sighed and said, "I'm sorry," Rainbow Dash's face started glowing reder and reder. She then continued, "You committed a horrible crime, and you are always... so wreakless and cause problems.. I bet you will just drink again and accidently kill someone... also I don't wanna associate with criminals.. it will harm my reputation as the princess of friendship.. and I don't even know you!"

Then, Twilight hung up, Rainbow Dash snapped like a branch. She threw the phone on the ground.

A guard galloped to where Rainbow Dash was yelling swear words and punching the wall. He said, "Shimmer down, miss... it'll be okay.. prison is temporary..."
