Pinkie and the Remote Control World

Storm Chaser Dashie

By The Isapie

Oh, Soarin'.

I will never forgive myself.

Why did the force field bubble even form?

I'm not gonna bother to even think about it.

Oh well.

Soarin'...Please be okay.

Pinkie...Don't you dare let go of that rock ridge. I'm not gonna lose another person that I love.

Well, technically speaking, I actually don't wanna lose another friend.

About fifteen years ago...

"Dashie! Wait up, Dashie!"

"Catch me if you can, Surprise!"

A younger Rainbow Dash and her best friend Surprise were flying around in Rainbow's cloud home. Surprise had brought her older sister, Echo, as well, who was technically filly-sitting for the tired parents. Echo was a bit tired from making the two fillies lunch, and was now resting on one of the clouches(cloud couches). "Echo! Watch this!" Rainbow Dash scooped up some cloud from the floor and tossed it at Echo, who caught it.

Before Rainbow had even heard of Spitfire(who, back then, was not captain of the Wonderbolts) she'd always idolized Echo, who, despite being blind, was a Wonderbolt trainee. She had posters of Echo(that she'd drawn herself) all around her bedroom, and had a small, treasured picture frame with a picture of her and Echo in it. Echo had even mentioned Dash once or twice in interviews as "my sister's playmate and the inspiration in both our lives". In a sense, Rainbow Dash was friends more with Echo than her little sister.

"Whoa, Dashie, give me some warning before you do that!" Smiled Echo. "Okay...Let's try this!" yelled Rainbow Dash as she scooped up two cloud balls and tossed them at both the Wonderbolt and her little sister. Echo did catch the cloud ball, but the other one knocked Surprise right into a hole in the cloud floor~the one that Dashie had just made when she made the first cloud ball. "ECHO! HELP ME!" Screamed the little filly as she desperately beat her wings, trying to fly. "SURPRISE! I'M COMING!" Screamed Echo as she scrambled out the hole. Dash flew right after her.

"SURPRISE! WE'RE COMING!" Yelled Dash as she flew with all her might, down towards where Echo had caught Surprise, who had blacked out from exhaustion of beating her wings. "Oh my gosh we need to get her to the hospital STAT!" yelled Echo.

The good thing was, Surprise survived. She was just like Pinkie before Dashie knocked her out of the cloud apartment. The bad news was that she was blinded from the wind, like her sister. After that incident, Surprise and Dashie never played together again. Echo stopped mentioning Dash in her interviews. Slowly, Rainbow Dash started to idolize Spitfire more than Echo. The treasured picture, though, she kept as a reminder to never be too harsh to anyone or anything.

Back in Dashie's head...

Surprise...I wonder where you went.

Before it happened, we always played together.

After you left, I was friend-less for a year.

Then I met Fluttershy.

Good thing I did. I wouldn't have survived school without her.

Pinkie...You would have been just like her if I knew where she was.

Surprise...I miss you.

Echo...It was my fault.

I can't blame you for not letting me be your inspiration anymore.

Please. I'm sorry...

"Dashie? Dashie! You're alright!"

Rainbow Dash woke up at the north edge of the Everfree Forest. The Friendship Train station was only a bit ahead. "Pinkie...What happened?" "You kinda just fell and collapsed and~oh my gosh, is it your bag? Did Twilight's enchantment only apply to me? Is your bag too heavy?" Pinkie gasped, her hair sort of deflating. "I'm alright, Pinkie." responded Dash halfheartedly.

But the truth was, she did not feel alright at all.
