Free Falling at it's best! (Prologue)
Edited by Cold Spike
This was not a good day, he decided. Idly, he began wondering how he got in this messed up situation people dared to call 'free falling'. The clouds around him seemed to make room for him as he fell from the sky. His end was near- he could tell. Let's go over the list! Hmm...Panicked expression? Check! Flailing of arms in a desperate attempt to be a boss and suddenly sprout wings and fly? Check! Screaming like a little girl?
Huh...that wasn't a check, maybe he should put that on his list. Sure seemed like a good idea.
He pondered on what his next move would be. If he survived, that is. Frowning, he went about remembering things. Okay, he was walking. Then there was a black hole...
"..."
Huh, what was he doing before he starting walking? School? Pfft, yeah right. He hated school, that's why he never goes. So nah, that wasn't an option.
On the bright side, being upside down (right side up?) had its perks, though. He could see what was below (above?!) him. Well, as far as he could see,the only thing that was below (We are NOT going to keep doing this) was... "Is...that Cloudsdale?"
It IS fucking Cloudsdale!
Indeed below him was a city made of clouds. Now, many people didn't know this, but, he was a Brony. Those who laughed at him were usually at the receiving end of a hook to the face. He also suspected that he was now going to see one of the Elements of Harmony, since he was there. Poor guy didn't know how right he was.
There was also the fact that he was going to very much-
LAND RIGHT ON A CITY MADE OF CLOUDS!
Yeah, time to put screaming like a little girl on the list.
"AAAAHHHH!!!!!!!!"
Here comes the cloud! Wait, since when are clouds tangible?
WHOOSH!
He went clean through the cloud city. Well, he was proven correct. He'd live a bit longer seeing as he didn't die on the cloud.
Yay.
Time slowly went by. What felt like hours had actually been mere minutes. After another two minutes of falling (how was he still able to breathe?) if he squinted his eyes, he could see the ground. That was a good and bad thing because he would stop falling in the air like it was no one's business. Bad thing? He'd be a pancake, extra flat.
"Is this how it's going to end? Well, I would have hoped I would have died of old age in my sleep."
Bracing himself for the inevitable, he had no more regrets... okay, that was a big fat lie. HE WANTED TO LIVE!
WHOOSH!
The hell was that!?
He quickly stopped screaming and looked over to his left to see a pony with a rainbow mane flying toward him, and no less, with WINGS! He had already knew who it was, but he greatly had doubted that she'd be able to just catch him at the speed she was going (bless her cute little heart for trying, though). She'd have to fly at extreme speeds for her to catch him, no matter HOW fast she was, she wouldn't catch him. And MAN (stallion?!) was she fast.
So far, Rainbow Dash's day was going pretty well. Sure, she was supposed to be clearing the clouds, but why do it right now? She had all time time in the world. After all, she could clear the sky in ten seconds flat. Besides, she could take another nap. Twilight wouldn't nag her, she was probably too busy with her muzzle in another book. She hadn't seen her in a few days. She thought should go visit her, they were still best friends after all. There were plenty words that came to Rainbow Dash's head when she thought about Twilight, but the one she thought of most of all?
Egghead.
Rainbow Dash read very few books. Not that she was dumb or anything. She loved flying too much. Plus, she was too awesome for most books anyhow. The only exceptions being her favorite series ever, the Daring Doo series. It was action-y (she was pretty sure that was a word).
Though it was random, briefly she thought about going to see Pinkie Pie. Why not? After all, maybe Pinkie would give her some snacks. Pinkie was kind like that, always willing to make people happy and to see them smile. Rainbow loved she got free things. Not that she was a moocher.
Stop telling these lies to yourself, you are a mooch, Ms.Mooch.
"AHHHHHH!" Suddenly she heard a scream of what sounded like a filly. Picking up her speed, she squinted her eyes and saw something in the distance. She saw something that made her sure that her heart had skipped a beat. Her blood ran cold as a shiver crawled up her spine.
Somepony was free falling!
By the looks of it, and going off that girlish scream earlier, a filly! What's more to that is the fact that she didn't have wings or a horn.
How in the hay she even GET up here!? If she had a horn, she could at least say that she accidentally teleported up here or something! Said filly seemed to notice her closing in to do an awesome rescue attempt and stopped screaming her head off. A look of doubt passed upon the kid's face.
"Doubting me, huh?!"
Who does she think she is? Thinking I can't save her! She could- she would- she- did she start falling faster?
She was too close to the ground for her to catch. A look of horror crept upon Rainbow Dash's face as she knew what would happen next. The kid would die.
And there was not a thing she could do because she wasn't fast enough.
"Doubting me, huh?!"
Blazer looked at the face of the mare that was trying to save him, what seemed like a rescue at first turned into a very bad miscalculation on Dash's part. He watched as horror seeped upon her face slowly, her mouth agape in pure shock and disbelief as she realized the magnitude of the situation at hand (hoof?).
Well shit. I am going to die. Screaming time again! "ERMAHGERD! NO!"
Rainbow Dash flew closer and just as she was about to reach him-
TO BE CONTINUED!
Author's Note
Well, that was my first attempt at a story, since I had nothing else to think of, I was left with the dreaded cliff hanger.
