Te Amo, Rainbow Dash

Okay, so now that the 'interval' is over, please return to your seats for the rest of the performance.

Now ladies & Gentlemen (or for any bronies reading this, mares and colts), let us continue with tonight's performance of 'Te Amo, Rainbow Dash'

(The lights turn on to reveal Soarin, Spitfire, Spike, Twilight Sparkle, Fluttershy, Rarity and Applejack. They all look worried. Soarin looks the most worried out of the whole group.)

(Applejack)

"Um, shouldn't Rainbow Dash be back by now?"

(Spike)

"I dunno. I'd say something's holding her back."

(Soarin)

"I hope so. I especially hope she's careful."

(Twilight Sparkle)

"Guys, she said she'll see us in a minute. She'll be back soon."

(Spike)

"Twilight, there's one fact you don't seem to have acknowledged: Rainbow Dash said that, half an hour ago!"

(Twilight Sparkle)

"Well Spike, it's possible that she's still helping Pinkie Pie. She said she had a large order to fill with Mr. & Mrs. Cake."

(Spike)

"True. True."

(Rarity)

"Well, of course there's that. But you know how much Rainbow Dash loves Soarin right now. Chances are she'll quickly do her job with Pinkie Pie and then, come back straight here."

(As Rarity says this line, a faint murmur with a slight echo can be heard. However, nopony notices the sound. After Rarity is finished, a clear voice that sounds like Rainbow Dash can be heard.)

(Rainbow Dash's Voice)

"I’m sorry if I did anything to you. I didn’t mean it. Please let me go. I promise I won’t tell anybody."

(Soarin seems to be the only pony who hears this whilst the others are oblivious.)

(Soarin)

"Uhh, was it just me or did you guys hear a voice?"

(Spitfire)

"What voice? I didn't hear anything."

(Soarin)

"You guys didn't hear it?"

(Everypony)

(Simultaneously) "No."

(Soarin)

"It sounded like Rainbow Dash. Just listen carefully. It might come back."

(After a few seconds, another voice comes through. This time, the voice is Pinkie Pie's.)

(Pinkie Pie's Voice)

"Well, that’s enough reminiscing. It’s time to begin."

(Soarin)

"Okay! Tell me you guys heard that!"

(Spitfire)

"No. I didn't hear anything. Just the wind and some birds."

(Soarin takes a seat, clutching his head.)

(Soarin)

"I don't get it. Why am I hearing voices suddenly? I definately heard Dashie's voice. But who was the other voice? It sounds so familiar, yet so-."

(Soarin suddenly clutches his flank, where his cutie marks are.)

"Ow!"

(Spike)

"You okay Soarin?"

(Soarin)

"Guys, you're not gonna believe this, but my flanks are starting to hurt. It's like they've been cut off."

(Fluttershy)

"Which flank?"

(Soarin)

"Both of them."

(He then starts to flutter his left wing.)

(Spitfire)

"Soarin, whatever's going on, it isn't funny. We have a stunt show to perform in 8 hours and you faking injuries isn't helping."

(Soarin)

"This isn't fake Spitfire. Now, for some reason, my left wing has gone numb."

(Pinkie Pie's voice comes back.)

(Pinkie Pie's Voice)

"Hey Dash, think fast!"

(Soarin looks up.)

(Soarin)

"What?"

(The instant he says this line, there is a loud crack as Soarin falls off his chair in pain, clutching his right wing.)

"ARGH! MY WING!"

(The other immediately take notice at this.)

(Spitfire)

"Soarin! Are you alright? What just happened?"

(Soarin)

"MY WING FEELS LIKE IT'S BEEN RIPPED CLEAN OFF! AND THERE'S ALSO A BURNING IN MY BACK!"

(Spitfire)

"Oh sweet Celestia."

(She turns to face the others.)

"In all my years of being a Wonderbolt, I've never seen anything like this."

(To Soarin)

"Is there anything we can get you? You know, to help with your back?"

(Soarin)

"Yeah! Somepony get me an ice pack!"

(Spike runs off stage and comes back with an ice pack. Soarin rips off the upper half of his costume. Spike then runs up behind Soarin and places the ice pack on his back.)

(Spike)

"I don't see any scratches. No bruises. No burns. Nothing."

(Spitfire)

"Keep it on though. He may be catching a disease or something."

(Soarin)

"Okay, that's sure to calm me-."

(Before he can finish his sentence, there's a loud banging of a nail being hit with a hammer as Soarin falls over, screaming in pain, clutching the seam between his front legs and hooves.)

"OW! NOW MY HOOVES ARE HURTING ME!"

(Spitfire)

(Yelling to somepony off stage) "Somepony get a medic out here!"

(Rainbow Dash's Voice)

"PLEASE STOP! PLEASE, PLEASE STOP!"

(As soon as it ends, Soarin stops screaming and slowly stands up.)

(Soarin)

"Okay, my hooves still hurt but I think I'll be okay. I just heard Dashie's voice again. I have the feeling-."

(There's suddenly a loud crackle of electricity and Soarin falls on his back and begins flailing & convusling uncontrollably, similiar to that of a seizure.)

(Fluttershy)

"SOMEPONY HELP SOARIN! I THINK HE'S HAVING A SEIZURE!"

(Spitfire)

(Yelling off stage) "FOR CELESTIA'S SAKE, WHERE IS THAT MEDIC?"

(The others run up and try to hold his legs and head in place. After a few minutes of this, Soarin suddenly stops.)

(Spitfire)

"Okay Soarin, I think you should really sit this stunt show out."

(Soarin)

"No Spitfire! I'm okay! Really! These things can happen to anypony."

(Twilight Sparkle)

"Sure, ponies feel pain in their hooves and flanks, but they don't suddenly break out into a seizure!"

(Soarin is aided to a seat.)

(Spitfire)

"Well, now what? The stunt show's in 8 hours and Soarin's not feeling well."

(Applejack)

"I hope Rainbow Dash gets back here soon. She could take his place."

(Spitfire)

"Okay, that'll do. I'll try and contact Sugarcube Corner. Fluttershy, could you look after Soarin just until we get back?"

(Fluttershy)

"Oh certainly. I find it easy to take care of animals so Soarin shouldn't be too hard."

(Spitfire)

"Good. Call me if he starts to act strange. The rest of you, come with me."

(Everypony but Fluttershy & Soarin leave the stage.)

(Fluttershy)

"So um, what's it like being a Wonderbolt?"

(Soarin)

"It's pretty cool. You get to do all sorts of stunts and things."

(Fluttershy)

"I would join myself but it just looks so scary."

(Soarin)

"Well, it is. But then you get used to it."

(Fluttershy)

"Oh."

(Fluttershy then goes over to a near-by radio. She then turns it on and tries to find a station, but she finds nothing but static.)

(Pinkie Pie's Voice)

"Looks like I got my ‘I’ on you, Dash."

(After this line, Soarin starts clutching his chest and stomach in pain, breathing heavily. Fluttershy instantly notices this and rushes to his side.)

(Fluttershy)

"Soarin! Are you alright? Spitfire! Get in here!"

(Spitfire and the rest of the group come back on stage.)

(Spitfire)

"Soarin! Are you okay?"

(Rarity)

"Are you hurt?"

(Soarin)

"MY ORGANS ARE BURNING! SOMEPONY HELP ME!"

(Suddenly, Soarin goes quiet.)

"What just happened?"

(Spike)

"You just yelled out that your organs were burning."

(Soarin)

"I don't understand."

(Applejack)

"We all came out and saw ya clutchin' your stomach and chest as if your organs were fallin' out."

(Soarin)

"Falling out?"

(Spitfire)

"That's it, I'm calling the Ponyville Hospital."

(She's about to leave the stage when-.)

(Soarin)

"NO! PLEASE! DON'T HURT ME!"

(Rarity)

"What are you talking about Soarin? Spitfire wouldn't hurt you."

(Soarin)

"Spitfire's not here. There's only......her."

(Spitfire)

"Where are you Soarin?"

(Soarin)

"I'm in a dark room. There's blood and gore everywhere. I can see the words 'Life is a party', made out of blood red pony hides."

(Twilight Sparkle)

"Who's 'her'? Who's there with you?"

(Soarin suddenly clamps his eyes shut tightly.)

(Soarin)

(Screaming) "NO! NO PLEASE! NOT THE THROAT! NOT THE THROAT! ARGH! SHE'S CUTTING MY SKULL! SOMEPONY! HELP ME!"

(Soarin lets out a blood-curling scream before reopening his eyes.)

"Oh no. Something's wrong! Dashie!"

(Before anypony can react, Soarin flies off in a panic.)

(Applejack)

"What the hay was that all about?"

(Spitfire)

"I don't know Applejack. In all my years as a Wonderbolt, I've never seen Soarin go through something like this."

(The lights fade out.)
