Rainbows and Apples

I sat in a bath full of mud, it just felt stupid. Getting dirty help the skin or something like that from what I could get from Rarity's rambling. I just closed my eyes, this whole thing was as horrible as last time. I opened my eyes and sent Twilight a pleading look, I'd do almost anything to get out of this ... almost.

"Rainbow, just try and relax. Rarity planned this to make you feel better, try. Even Apple Jack in enjoying herself." I sighed, and leaned back against the bath.

"OK, I'll try, but if I don't like it i'm out of here, you guys can enjoy yourselves. That's a Pinkie promise." I closed my eyes, ignoring any looks I'd get from them. I stared at the back of my eyelids, until its blackness turned into colour...

"Howdy Rainbow" I blinked a few times, then wiped my eyes and turned to see Mac, how? I was at the spa, I'm sure. "Rainbow, I can hear your thoughts, this is just a dream" I blinked, well, I guess that does make sense.

"So, what's the dream about?"

"It's your dream, how'm ah supposed to know?" I frowned, if this is my dream that means I can control it right?

"Eeyup"

"Oh yeah, thoughts ... hm ..." Soon red wings sprouted from Macs body, he didn't seem to care. "Well, I guess this is the one change I'll get to fly with you"

"If I knew how to use them miss Dash" I glared at him

"OK, my dream, don't call me miss, Dash is fine on its own. Just flap, this is my dream, you should know how." Soon he was floating easily, his face glued to my own, I gave a small smile before flying higher.

"Are we going to race?" Yeah, that could work, i'll even let him catch up. I started to accelerate, the wind flowing through my mane. Sure enough, he was right next to me, I guess this whole thoughts speech thing sucks.

"You have can stop it ya know" I blinked, hm, ok. Turn off the though speech. Did it work?

"Um, did it work?" I flapped my wings slowly, hovering on the spot looking at him curiously.

"Eeyup... no more talk coming from you mouth" Yes, at least I know he won't fall outta the sky or anything with the stuff that pops into my head.

"Mac, why are you in my dream?" I looked at him, he just smiled, before it started to melt. "What? I didn't think for this to happen, Mac, mac how do I stop it? MAC"

His whole body started to melt, parts of his tail and hooves dripping down through the air as he began to fall, I screamed in horror, flying toward him.

"It won't stop, it never can Rainbow"

"PLEASE!" I hugged him, but he started to slip strait through my hooves. Soon, I was falling, my wings beating hard, but i was only going down.

"Rainbow... Rainbow ...... RAINBOW!" My eyes snapped open the girls all looked at me with worried expressions.

"What?" I said coolly, but none of them moved.

"What in tarnaiton just happened, you were flapping you wings faster than I've ever seen!" I shrugged, and looked at how they seemed to be done.

"Can we go now?" With a small frown they took a step back letting me get up.

"My place, now." I blinked at Twilight, did she really just say that. So we all silently followed her back the the library.

"OK, what happened, you were freaking out Rainbow!"

"It was just a bad dream OK, no biggy" I was met with raised eye brows

"You had a bad dream, what made it so bad?"

"I don't remember, it was just a bad dream OK. You all look like it's something serious ..." They all glanced at Apple Jack, who only looked at her hooves.

"Well, you were hollering Macs name an awful lot" I squeezed my eyes shut, before looking up at her.

"I, I um ... I don't know. He was melting?" I questioned myself trying to work it out, what did it mean.

"Oooh youwereflyingandhemeltedwhenyouhadarace" I gave s small nod at Pinkie, I was too used to her rambling, and her ability.

"Oh, um, how d-did it end?" FlutterShy asked, her hoof rubbing against the floor.

"I fell"

"What does this mean Twilight, maybe you should have some tea darling, I'll be right back" Rarity trotted away as I looked at them all, why were they acting so weird about this?

"Whats going on, why are you acting so strange?" Twilight heaved a sigh, before smiling.

"Well, we've never seen you this ... happy? I, well, were just glad you like him, but at the same time, you did scare us with your screams..."

I laughed just as Rarity came in with a few cups of floating tea.

"Well, how about we get the party going, hopefully with happy screams." I laughed, taing a sip of the tea before putting it on the table, hiding some of my disgust.

"Well, party with be is going to be AWESOME! Apple Jack, you got the cider?"

"Oh yeah, we got the cider!"
