Before Times Edge

  "I will never fly again... will I?" Rainbow Dash said staring out of the hospital room's window. she laid still not moving, the sound of tears hitting the bed sheets and the pillow. Her motions were obviously ones of a depressed individual. Of course she would be depressed though, she did nearly die. This state of shock seemed to overwhelm her body. Rainbow laid there paralyzed. The sound of silence was abundant in the room as the last light of dusk protruded into the room. No words were spoken for the first minutes when Kira and Twilight Sparkle entered. What a ill situation that had occurred, the shock of seeing things that were not normal in this world must have proven to be disturbing. Though on the other hand, this world was filled with mythical beasts, and talking ponies. Thinking that it was finally appropriate to break the silence, Kira spoke with a very soothing voice to Rainbow dash.

  "We don't know that for sure... I am sorry, this is all my fault. I-I caused unnecessary commotion in your world, all I can do is appolig-"

  "NO, THATS NOT ALL YOU CAN DO! THANKS TO WHAT EVER THE HELL YOU ARE AND WHATEVER THE FUCK YOU BROUGHT TO THIS WORLD I LOST MY WING! YOU ALSO HAVE THE NERVE TO COME INTO THIS ROOM AN-AND TALK TO ME!? WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE!?" Rainbow dash shouted at Kira while she hurled the pillow at him. She contorted enough to throw the pillow straight at Kira, even though the pain she felt was immense. she then threw herself and tackled Kira, the anger she was displaying was nothing Rainbow had felt before.

  The time it took for both Kira and Rainbow dash to hit the ground seemed to last forever, to Kira at least. This spark of fury, anger, rage, hate, it reminded him of some one he was very fond of in the past. He saw every little event that happened between the time they left the bed, to the time they hit the floor. Twilight reacted slower, jumping at them. The nurse rushed in with the doctors following. The dusk light struck Rainbows eyes as they fell. Kira felt his head hit the floor, shock waves from the impact reverberating though his skull. He saw her lift a hoof, and then the world went black.

Surprisingly the force from her for hoof caught kira off guard, then again he was not wearing his E.M. wave suit so the blow was not cushioned by his armor. He woke up in a dark room, presumably another room in the ward. he had bandages on his head from the wound Rainbow had given him. He got up slowly rubbing the back of his head and then proceeded to look out the window at the beautiful night sky. Something about the night always appealed to him, whether it was the moon or the millions of stars that filled the sky. It was too bad that the galaxy wasn't visible back on earth, the sky was constantly lit up with heavy fire and flak from the defenses. Kira turned his body and got off of the bed he was laid on. Though it struck him as a bad Idea, he thought he would go and at least try to reason with Rainbow Dash. Though the hospital had a curfew on patients which is a reasonable request, Kira opened the door and walked down the hall back to Rainbow's room. He heard thumping from the inside, getting curious he proceeded to open the door.

Rainbow quickly flung her body under the pillows and tried to look like she was asleep. The covers we lit up in the light of the moon that hung in the sky so predominantly. Kira walked toward the bed and sat down beside it resting his arm on the edge of the bed.

  "Rainbow... look... I am sorry for what happened. I should have never allowed you to come. I failed to protect someone, and I feel terrible for it. You know... you remind me of some one who I was very close to, she died so young... all because of what I did, my shortcomings. Some one told me this and it has always stuck with me... the man told me this before he died in my arms... "where ever you go, death follows, you demon." Death has always been with me..." Kira sighed as he looked into the darkness of the room.

  "what makes you think I will forgive you? why do you continue to talk to me?" Rainbow's voice cracked as tears rolled down her face.

  "I am not asking you to forgive me, but I find you fascinating out of all the rest that i have met so far, the fact that you still attacked me while you were injured, and hooked up to the ive's no less was impressive, usually people just tell each other off when injured."

  "So? what does this have to do? are you trying to flatter me or something?" rainbow retorted back. she then turned to Kira and stared him straight in the face. Her eyes like jewels in the night, those that were filled with fire and anger, but were soothing to look at.

  "You never know... Say, what if I told you that i could get you off the ground and air born?" Kira told her while standing up.

  "What do you mean you can get me air born again?" she said looking puzzled and even more confused trying to think about it. Kira gave her a soft look and put his hand on her head.

  "Now that's for me to figure out, I promise you, this is the least I can do for you for what I have put you through. Goodnight Rainbow Dash." Kira told her as he removed his hand from her head and walked towards the door.

  "Pinkie promise?" Rainbow Dash asked in a concerned but meek voice. Kira smiled at her and sighed.

  "Yes I pinkie promise you, whatever that means. Goodnight"

  "Ye-yeah... goodnight" Rainbow dash answered back.

  Rainbow dash was puzzled at the fact that she just agreed to the person she is so angry at, but at the same time felt comfort in the words he spoke to her. She draped the covers over her head and cried softly until she fell asleep und the moons watch. Kira sat outside of the door wondering to his dismay how he would get her off the ground again. At the same time, thoughts ran through his head. Through the depths of his despair, he always seems to find a ray of light in the abyss.
