The High Road 2: Nightmares

"Get a doctor!" I heard Applejack scream.

I felt a needle enter my skin, and suddenly the doctors were doing work on Rainbow and I. They had hit us with adrenaline shots to keep us from dying in our sleep.

"You need to go!" I heard a voice say. Then I heard our friends begging to stay. The doctors refused. They were forced out the door. Dash and I looked at each other... Maybe for the last time. *i love you* my facial expression says to Dash. She knew exactly what I was saying. She says the same back to me.

Then, we each shed a tear, just before falling asleep.

"You've...made me the...happiest...mare in...Equestria...in the past three years. You should be proud...you've...made the...last day of...my life...special...just being...here...with...me." She said. "I...love...you." I said. "I...love you.....too." She said. We reached over, and held our hooves in an embrace, we were too weak to hold it tight, so the last bit of our effort went into that. I gave her a slight smile, and she smiled back.

At that very moment, Rainbow Dash and I died...
