C'mon Dashie!

Pinkie Pie hummed as she walked down Ponyville's main street. She couldn't be happier today, the sun was shining; the birds were singing and everything was in harmony.

She was busy waving to all her friends. She didn't notice anything amiss or wrong, she just felt to happy. The grin that was on her face was one of the brightest lights in Ponyville at the moment.

But there was something wrong, some pony was missing. Pinkie was looking all around for that certain cyan pegasus, she didn't see her and after a while she gave up; figuring that Rainbow Dash was taking one of her afternoon naps.

Rainbow Dash... For some reason, Pinkie hadn't seen her at all this week, it made her worried. Usually at least one of Pinkie's friends wanted to see her at least once a day, and Rainbow was always up for a good prank or two.

"I wonder where she could be.." Pinkie muttered to herself as she walked towards Rainbow's home. Pinkie wondered if she was at home with the feather flu or something.

But Rainbow Dash never gets sick. Pinkie reminded herself as she trotted up towards Rainbow's home, her arm full of balloons.

"Maybe I'll see if she's alright." Pinkie told herself and she used the balloons to propel herself up to Rainbow's cloud home.

Rainbow Dash coughed and sputtered, this sucks! She thought as she tried to fluff up her pillow and read the latest Daring Do novel at the same time. It wasn't working, she groaned as she flopped back down on her bed, giving up comfort for some well needed entertainment.

Rainbow picked up her newest book, the latest in the Daring Do adventures. This one looked good, Twilight had recommended it after the last one and this was a little diffrent because it had romance in it as well, lots of it.

Rainbow giggled to herself as she thought of the books kinky style, the way it was written was good but Rainbow noticed some flaws in the new male character and she would never go for a guy like him.

Gently picking up the book she flipped to her spot and sighed, finally comfortable in her bed. The wind was coming in from her open window and she shivered this was not helping her flu. She felt cold on the inside already, she didn't want to be cold on the outside to!

Rainbow grudgingly closed her book and got up out of bed. The wind was blowing harder now and her teeth chattered. She clamped her mouth shut to stop them. The window was hanging open and Rainbow's eyes widened as she saw a very familiar, very annoyed looking pink pony hanging by balloons outside her window.

Pinkie smiled a little when she saw Rainbow was coming, she had been hanging for a while and it was getting tiring.
Her friend looked surprised to see her at first, then she looked confused and now she just looked annoyed.

"Hey, Rainbow Dash!! What're you up to!?" Pinkie asked. Rainbow groaned and pointed to her head and then her stomach.

"Hi, Pinkie. I can't come out today, I've got the flu.." Rainbow replied but she was cut off from a huge gasp from Pinkie.

"Oh my Celestia!! I thought you were sick, I haven't seen you all week, and I was getting worried. Good thing I came and saw you, huh?" Pinkie replied with a little air bounce.

Rainbow looked at her with a little smile, it was true; sometimes Pinkie annoyed her but she really was a good and caring friend.

"Thanks, Pinkie it means a lot that you came over. I don't wanna get you sick though.." Rainbow said as she let in the floating Pinkie.

"Oh, don't worry about me, Dashie! Mrs.Cake says I'm too energetic to get sick!" Pinkie said as she pulled her balloons off.

The balloons floated up and stuck up on the cloud-filled ceiling. Rainbow wondered how they stayed there, usually solid things just floated through her home.

"I bet she does say that... I still don't want you in here though, you might get my flu." Rainbow said to the smiling Pinkie. Pinkie's smile dimmed a little when she realized that Rainbow was really sick, and didn't have just a little cold.

"I thought you only had a cold. Is it really bad?" Pinkie asked. Her eyes started to widen when Rainbow nodded.

"I think so, Pinkie but you shouldn't worry about me too much!" Rainbow replied as her friend started to sniffle. Rainbow couldn't keep up with Pinkie's mood swings, and today her flu wasn't helping.

"B-but Dashie, what if you can never come outside anymore, and you'll be lonely, and your friends will miss you and-" Pinkie started to ramble and Rainbow cut her off.

"Whoa, Pinkie! I don't think I'll be in my room forever.." Rainbow consoled. Pinkie smiled a little now and she hugged Rainbow who tried to back away, but her pink friend just squeezed tighter.

Eventually, Rainbow gave up and just let Pinkie hug her. It was actually nice, and Pinkie was right; she had been lonely. Rainbow had missed her friends and Pinkie's hug reminded her that her friends were always there for her, even when she's bedridden.

"Anyway, is there anything I can do for you Rainbow? I can be like your nurse if you want." Pinkie asked. Rainbow was surprised, Pinkie usually didn't help her out when she was sick but Rainbow didn't get sick often. Pinkie smiled as she waited for a response. Rainbow was actually very confused, why was Pinkie still able to walk on her cloud home without her balloons?

"Sure, I guess. But um, Pinkie?" She asked. Her friend batted her long eyelashes at her.

"Yeah, Rainbow what's up?" Pinkie replied and she walked towards Rainbow's bed.

Rainbow's eyes widened; it was just like chapter three in the Daring Do novel. She blinked and smiled a little; Pinkie probably had no idea what she was implying and it was true she didn't.

Pinkie had made Rainbow's bed and placed a bookmark in Rainbow's book. She put the book on Rainbow's nightstand and smiled brightly at her.

"See? I'm good at nursing!" She said happily and Rainbow nodded, still a little creeped out by the whole thing. It was almost like the book, except less kinky.

"Oh.. It's nothing, I was just wondering how your still up here you know with my house being made of clouds and all." Rainbow replied with an awkward smile.

"Oh that! It's okay, I ate a whole bunch of cream puffs later so I'm really fluffy inside!" Pinkie explained, she happily poked herself in the stomach to demonstrate.

Rainbow rolled her eyes, she should've known better than to question Pinkie.

"Ah well.. I am glad you came and visited me after all Pinkie, I guess I was kinda lonely." Rainbow admitted. Pinkie smiled and nodded in reply, she put one forearm around her.

"That's good, cause I'm gonna stay here with you until you feel better!!" Pinkie said with a huge smile.

Rainbow's smile faltered. Pinkie Pie was a good friend, sure; but her constant energy was rather exhausting.

"Thanks Pinkie really.. I mean not a lot of ponies would come to visit some-pony with the feather flu, I think your the only one brave enough to do it." Rainbow said. Pinkie waved off the complement.

Pinkie smiled at Rainbow, "So.. what now?" Pinkie asked. Honestly; Rainbow had no clue..
