Day fuck canon in Equestria. You're visiting Rainbow Dash in the hospital after she badly injured her wing in a stunt to try and join the Wonderbolts. The two of you sit in silence before you finally break it.

"So, how are you holding up?"

She sniffs, as if holding back a tear.

"The doctor says it's pretty bad. It might not heal properly." She turns and looks at you with big, teary eyes. "I may never fly again."

You're shocked; this is much worse than you ever expected. You sit there and ponder what you can possibly do, before the answer hits you. The ponies would frequently break out into spontaneous song, sometimes to cheer each other up. In fact, they've all sang many songs for you since you came to Equestria. Maybe you should return the favor! You can't come up with something on the spot like they do, but they won't know if you "borrow" a song. But which?

"A-Anon?" Dash asks in a worried voice. You've been sitting there, staring at her in total silence for almost five minutes, thinking of your song. Aha, you've got one!

"Are you alr-"

"Don't cry out loud!" Your sudden interruption makes her jump. "Just keep it inside. Learn how to hide your feelings!"

"Anon, what in the world are you-"

"Fly high and proud! And if you should fall, remember you almost had it all!"

Dash stares at you, shocked for a moment, tears building in her eyes. Did it work? Does she feel better?

"I HATE YOU!" she says, her hoof connecting with your nose. Looks like she's not cheered up.

"I HATE YOU!" she cries again, leaping from her bed and running from the room. She was found a few days later. She hung herself from a tree in the forest. But not before writing a note blaming the whole thing on you. You told them you tried to help, but they wouldn't have it. You were thrown in the dungeon for life.

Today was a bad day.
