The End of the Rainbow

"GO!" at this a horn sounded.
About three-hundred ponies galloped from the starting line, all in a hurry.
"Remember, we're workin' together this time!" Applejack yelled to Rainbow Dash over the crowd. "Don't ya dare use them wings either!" She had to go as loud as she possibly could to get Rainbow Dash to hear and her hat was slipping off.
"Yep!" answered Rainbow Dash. "I've learnt my lesson!"
Applejack pulled her hat over her head to prevent it from falling off. Rainbow Dash and Applejack were then in the lead with a massive crowd of mares and stallions following them, it was almost as if they were leading an army into battle. Rainbow Dash looked behind her and gulped nervously, and returned her main focus to the road ahead.

Applejack and Rainbow Dash regrouped.
"Working together!" exclaimed Rainbow Dash to Applejack. "As a team!"
"Ya said it!" replied Applejack.
The two ponies were running out of energy slowly but as long as they were in front they didn't care. They were working for first and second, and Rainbow Dash had offered to go second, so she slowed down a little to just behind Applejack. A tight corner over a cliff edge was coming up.
The two ponies in the lead gulped hard and they could hear their own heartbeats going faster and faster.
Applejack rounded the corner fine when she noticed Rainbow Dash tumbling down the steep cliff edge. Applejack jumped off too, but in a safer fashion.
"Ah'm comin' Rainbow! Hold on!"
But Rainbow Dash couldn't hold on. "Applejack! Help me!"
Rainbow Dash had reached the bottom in a tumble and blood spilled everywhere. Her rainbow mane was grey and ruffled and Rainbow Dash found it hard to breathe as she cried and cried. Applejack reached the bottom fast and had only got a minor graze on her left leg. She cried and the pain in her emotions were greater than her physical pain.
"No...." whispered Applejack. "Don't leave me, Rainbow. Don't quit on me now."
"Tell Scootaloo to follow her dreams Applejack.... I'm not going to survive."
"Ah love yall so much...."
