Turning point

Turning point

Rainbow groaned, as she yanked herself out of bed. She glanced around the room, in search of a clock "aha," she said to herself as one came into sight it read...9.am! "Oh buck I'm gonna be late." she said aloud. As she groggily trotted to the door. She took flight, forgetting to close her door. Her headache soon kicked in, slowing her down.

"maybe I shouldn't of stayed up that late reading Daring Do... Oh well." Slowly but surely, her headache worsened and Rainbow dash felt the need to land.

As she did so she, could hear the voices of her friends already at the at the cafe. Suddenly, she thought it would be fun to prank them. So she she slowly crept up on them. To her surprise, they didn't see nor hear her. She picked up their conversation and heard Raritys voice come into ear-shot.

"Her ego,is just about bigger than the jewel on Celestia's crown!" complained Rarity.

This only intrigued Rainbow, more as she crept closer, her friends usually never talk about ponies in a mean way.

"Y'all wanna bet, she came struttin' onto mah farm like she owns the place." This was getting weird, she Didn't see anypony else on Apple Jacks farm apart from:Apple Bloom, Big Mac, Applejack, Granny Smith, Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle and her the only ponies on Apple Jacks farm and she was there helping the Cutie Mark Crusaders.

Twilight, was next to chip in "Oh and I think there's a reason why they call her, Rainbow Crash she was supposedly trying out a new trick a couple of days ago and ended up breaking my window." Finished Twilight.

Rainbow heard this and began to put the pieces into place...they were talking about her! This shocked Rainbow, as she was the last pony in Equestria she thought that they would be talking about.

Flutter Shy, cleared her throat "Oh and she sayings she's the most daring pony but I'm the only one with the guts to have stared down that dragon."

Rainbow dash was getting:Angry, hurt, sad and confused all at once how long have they been talking about her behind her back ?!

She slowly rose up, out of her army crawl position and trotted over. The fake smile she was putting on began to hurt.

"Hey guys sorry I'm late so what are we talking about?" Even though, she knew exactly what she couldn't let them know ...Yet.

"Well nothing much, how are you today Rainbow Dash?" Asked Twi.

"Oh well I have a horrid headache but apart from that nothing much."

Twilight, caught the glance from Rarity and nodded "I might have a spell that can help that, you want me to cast it?"

Ok first they were talking about her behind her back and now they're acting super nice...what?

"Ur nah I think I can Handel it." Replied Rainbow, Twilights willingness to help was a bit dodgy let alone the glance thing.

"Are you sure because it must be a killer headache to affect, 'the' Rainbow Dash." That was a bit cocky thought Rainbow.

"Yeah I'm fine honestly but I forgot to ... Feed, Tank so I better get going bye." Rainbow got up and took off.

Ignoring the objections her headache persisted on. When she got back, she entered calling out Tanks name she needed a shoulder to cry on when she remembered she hadn't closed the door.

"Oh buck!" Said Rainbow as she realised this was going to be a long day.

She launched out of the door and flew back down to the cafe "You gotta help me find Tank!" She pleaded.

Apple Jack glared at Rainbow and simply replied "Nah."

Rainbow couldn't believe it first behind her back now to her face.

Twilight also glared at Rainbow Dash "How about you get off your lazy flank and go look yourself!" Yelled Twi.

Rainbow hopefully glanced at Pinkie Pie knowing she hadn't said anything...Yet.

"Oh um yeah sure, Dashie."said Pinkie pie. Everypony sitting down turned and stared making Pinkie shrink down.

"Oh um on second thought I can't I'm sorry." Rainbow looked confused for just a second, it was clear they Didn't want her around.

Rainbow had had enough so she took off without looking back and headed for Everfree knowing her luck Tank would be there.

Meanwhile at the table Pinkie spoke up "I think we are being to harsh, maybe we should all just have a civil conversation about this and how she upset us?" She hopefully glanced around the table.

Little did they know that the one who upset them was not Rainbow Dash...

Rainbow Dash sped through the forest. Knowing Tank he'll find his way home easily, I just needed to get out of there. Her thinking distracted her, for so long that it was only now she discovered she was flying towards a cliff.

"Uh oh." She tried, to spread her wings to stop herself but to no avail. The last thing she thought of was NOT her friends, but of her Mom and Dad 'I'm sorry' then everything went black...

Crashing a rainbow

As Rainbow awoke she found her head was very sore. She blinked her eyes open, immediately regretting opening them. A bright light shone down, almost blinding her. Rainbows vision was fuzzy, but she could make out a machine making beeping sound's. The last time Rainbow had heard this sound, was when she broke her wing and read her first Daring Do novel. This was when she realised she was in Hospital. She looked around some more and spotted 3 visitors.

As her vision became clearer, she could make out Pinkie Pie, Gummy And Tank. She tried to sit up but try as she might to no avail her back was to sore. To that Pinkie spoke up "Oh no your not allowed to sit up just yet, trust me *sigh* if you could I would've thrown a Get Well Soon Party."

To this Rainbow smiled and simply said "Never grow up, Pinkie." This seemed to confuse Pinkie.

"Huh?" Asked pinkie

"Well it means- what is gummy eating?"

"What that dosen't make any sense."

Rainbow simply motioned towards Gummy.

Pinkie looked down at Gummy and saw that he was chewing on a envelope.

"Gummy that was for, Rainbow," she reached down and retreated the letter.

"This Card was for you, all of our friends singed it but they said not to open it until I'm gone...weird huh?" Pinkie finished.

At this Rainbows face lit up. She took the card from Pinkie and simply opened it.

It was a rainbow coloured card that said 'Get Well Soon' on the front,Pinkie sat there confused to why Rainbow hadn't waited but, didn't object. Seeing Rainbow smile was everything to her. When Rainbow opened the card the first thing she noticed was that people seem to have thought, she was attempting suicide.

She saw various messages, some from ponies she had only met once or twice at this she decided to read her friends aloud "From, Apple Jack-It really is to bad y'all went and did that to yourself but it's even worse that y'all failed."

Rainbow began shaking. Her hopes, of her friends being mean was just a nightmare, just got shattered.

Tears welled up in her eyes as she slowly got up and said "I need to go to the bathroom."And shuffled out.

Meanwhile Pinkie sat there, rage building inside of her "HOW DARE THEY?!" She screamed as she picked up Gummy and trotted out of the room.

Rainbow dash locked the door and stared in the mirror. She spat in disgust at her reflection.
Her hair was matted,her eyes bloodshot,her wings ruffled up and her fur was mostly red and sticky.

"blood." She muttered under her breath.

She simply turned unlocked the door and limped back to her room. She saw only tank sitting there, with hopeful eyes. She petted him and then crawled into bed 'peace and quiet' she whispered as sleep took her.

Rainbow woke to the sound of the door creaking open she looked up to see Nurse Redheart "Oh don't mind me just came here to give you some food." She said in a cheery voice.

Rainbow looked at her she didn't have any food with her. Rainbow began getting confused.

After Nurse Redheart saw the confused look on Rainbows face she explained " You see, your stomach is too weak to be eating solid foods so at them minute we have to feed you through a tube," - she gestured towards A wire connected to the heart monitor and Rainbows arm held by a needle-" Although, it's good you can't taste this food because it has special vitamins to help you recover." She finished.

Rainbow just blinked, and decided not to watch Nurse Redheart as she feared it might bring her food back up.

Rainbow hadn't remembered falling asleep. In her nightmare she was back in Pony Ville, everyone looked sad. An Idea came to her ' I should do a awesome Sonic Rainboom to cheer everyone up.' She she took flight and did a Sonic Rainboom.

Nopony even looked up. This confused Rainbow 'What can impress them if that can't?!" Her face lit up.

' A double Sonic Rainboom!' She thought. She flew back to position and flew faster than she ever had, only once the second boom rang out she was at a greater speed than she could control.

She folded her wings in hoping to perform a nose dive and ovoid sudden death. But to no avail. She smashed into the wall of town hall. Then heard a sickening crack. She noticed something this whole time she was not in her own body. Just looking at it. To this Everypony looked up and began cheering.

She jolted up in bed. She was sweating and uncontrollably shaking. She had never felt so helpless as she did now. In fact she had never had a nightmare. She thought to herself ' I was only trying to make ponies happy. I guess only Pinkie is good at that.'

Meanwhile at Twilights new castle, Apple Jack, Flutter Shy, Rarity, Twilight and Pinkie sat in a circle.

Pinkie was clearly enraged, " How could you write something like that?!" She screamed

Apple Jack shrugged her shoulders and replied " eh."

The doors creaked open and Rainbow Dash walked in " Didn't know we where having a loser party."

Pinkie pie lept up " Dashie your back from hospital?" She asked clearly austounded.

Rainbow looked confused " I was in hospita- I mean ur yeah

Twilight Got suspicious " Pinkie said You were expected at least a 4 week stay."

Rainbow, gulped as a sweat formed on her head " Well Um I healed super quick, because of my awesomeness."

Rarity heard this and got up " Well here we go again, with the I'm so awesome darling you simply must stop saying that."

Rainbow clearly looked confused, before she could stop herself she said " I usually say that?"

Everyone looked confused, rarity walked over to Rainbow " Yes simple memory problems for such a tiny brain, we all knew it would happen someday." She stated.

Apple Jack got up and said " Twi cast yer' Changling spell."

Twilight got confused " Why?"

"Jus' do it!" Apple Jack screamed.

Twilight bowed her head as a light pink aura formed around her horn, slowly getting bigger when it finally blasted 'Rainbow' backwards. She opened her eyes and saw that lying on the floor before her, was I fact a Changling.

She gathered her power and simply said " Buckle up."

A bright light, and then silence. Everypony opened their eyes, only to see they were standing infront of The Tree Of Harmony. Something seemed odd and out of place.Twi trotted over her eyes immediately drawn to the Element Of Loyalty, her worst fears were confirmed. It had faded out. At that very moment it started falling and landed in the mud.

" What have I done!" She yelled as tears began to streak her face.

Everypony suddenly looked guilty as they realised the weight of the situation.

Meanwhile at Pony Ville Hospital, Rainbow got up and unconnected the life support and food monitor from herself. She shuffled around and went over to the door. Locked. ' There's gotta be a way out of here!' She thought. She turned over to the window "aha!" She found herself saying aloud. She quickly unbolted the lock and slid it open. ' Goodbye.' She thought as she slipped through the crack and out into the night sky.
