Chapters Rainbow Dash was getting ready for a big pegasus race called the "Lunar Race," since it was being held at night.
"Rainbow, be careful!" Pinkie called from below the clouds in Ponyville.
"I will! Don't worry!" Rainbow replied. Rainbow had been practicing every day and now it was time. In 2 hours the race would begin.
Finally, the race was just about to begin. There were 16 racers in the whole thing and Rainbow was number 9.
"I am just so excited! But not as excited as I was when I met Twilight walking in town!" Pinkie Pie said.
"Yes, darling, we are just so happy for you!" Rarity added.
"Thanks you guys." Rainbow beamed.
"We hope you win," Twilight said, "you are such a wonderful flyer! I hope to soon be able to fly like that!"
"We also hope that you don't get hurt." Applejack looked worried.
"I won't!" Rainbow assured her.
"Especially since it is dark out... be safe from monsters!" Fluttershy hid behind Twilight.
"Ladies and gentlecolts, the race is about to begin!" Everyone started cheering as the announcement came through the loud speakers.
As the ponies lined up to start the race, Derpy ran up to Rainbow Dash, "good luck in the race, Rainbow Dash!" Derpy smiled.
"Thanks, Derpy." Rainbow dash hugged her friend. Even though Derpy was usually picked on, she always had a smile on her face.
"Rainbow Dash, Rainbow Dash!" Rainbow could hear her friends screaming her name in the crowd. 16 ponies. 1 winner, 15 losers...
"Get ready..." The announcer yelled in the microphone. Rainbow stretched her wings up high, "get set..." she licked her lips and got ready to jump up and fly, "go!" Rainbow leaped into the air flying as fast as an eagle. She flew under tree branches and flew over rocks and trees. She flew past the 2 racers ahead of her.
"One more racer to pass." Rainbow smiled. Only 3 laps of the race then a winner. That winner would be her. She soared through the air, a rainbow trailed behind her, that was her mane. Her feathers swayed as she flew faster. Adrenaline filled her body as she flew even faster, " there's the racer I need to pass!" Rainbow flapped her wings harder as she caught up to the racer. The racer flew behind Rainbow and bumped into her, "Hey! That's cheating!" The racer smiled angrily at her and then hit her again, only this time it was harder. Pain shot through Rainbow's stomach as she fell of the course of the race. She swayed her hooves and her wings but couldn't fly back up, her stomach had made her weak.
"I am sorry..." Rainbow closed her eyes and dreamed. She remembered her friends smiling faces. The Rainbow Dash, the pony that would never give up only this time she had too. Her friends would be proud to see her cross the finish line even if she didn't win. A tear streamed out of Rainbow's eye as she fell asleep. She dreamed about seeing her mother's smiling face again.
Rainbow opened her eyes and felt pain in her whole body. Blood was oozing out of her hooves and her head was pulsing with pain. What happened? Why was she on her way to the hospital? She only remembered falling to the earth, then everything went black. Her stomach was stained with red. She saw a purple pony walking towards her with a damp towel and put it on her head.
"You're going to be okay, Rainbow Dash." The purple pony said with a crack of pain in her voice as Rainbow closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
Rainbow woke up in the hospital. Standing there was Princess Luna, "Pri- Princess Luna..." she struggled to say. The purple pony was there too with the rest of her friends. That purple pony was Twilight.
"Hello, Rainbow Dash." Luna smiled. Her horn glowed as she set down a card beside all of the other "Get Well Soon" and some flowers. Rose Tyler had picked her best roses and brought them here with the Doctor. They were the ones who found Rainbow Dash. She remembered hearing a weird noise and seeing a blue box.
"I- I have something to say..." Rainbow said, "I was going to die there, but then I remembered you guys.." Rainbow's eyes filled with tears as she smiled and began again, "all of you, my friends, are the reason why I lived." Rainbow started to sob with happiness. Her friends were all crying too. Luna smiled and felt a tear fall down her face.
"Friendship is magic..." She said as she watched the 6 ponies. She ran up and hugged them and they hugged back.
Now its just a memory. That night. The Lunar Race. Celestia had the pony who hurt her sent to the moon! That was cheating and attempted murder. Rainbow Dash was now healed and she never forgave that pony. She still had pains in her stomach almost like it will haunt her until her end. Like dark magic. But he wasn't a unicorn... She will need the Doctor. She trotted over to the phone and dialed his number.
"Doctor," Rainbow said, "I need you here, my stomach keeps on hurting from that night and it has been a year. That pony who hurt me-" The Doctor interrupted.
"I'm on my way," He said. Rainbow heard a buzzing noise and then a boom from the TARDIS, " See you in a minute, Rainbow Dash." Then the Doctor was gone until she heard the noise she heard that dark night. She saw the blue box and the Doctor walked out. Rainbow smiled. She felt so excited.
"Hello, I'm the Doctor." He smiled.
