What have I done  Rainbow dash thought in her head.

Rainbow dash had just found out from the doctor in Ponyville that her "sister" Scootaloo has chronic wing displasium. Which means when she try's to fly her wings will give up on her, no matter how big her wings grow. Even after the equestrian games Rainbow felt sad inside that she is one of the fastest ponies in Ponyville, and Scootaloo would have to watch on the ground. Rainbow couldn't take it for much longer. Every time she saw her she just wanted to fly away so Scootaloo wouldn't  have to see her again. But she knew that if she did it would just hurt her even more. So Rainbow just decided to stay in her house and never come out.

     After weeks of confusion on where the rainbow pegasus has gone Twilight decides to take matters in her own hooves and flies to town hall where she gathered most of the ponies who occupy Ponyville.

"Attention every pony"-twilight spreads her wings to show her royalty.-"As you may know the pegasus Rainbow dash has gone missing for quite some time, but I ask you to not worry. I will send royal guard to look for her. We will not leave a single cloud unchecked. I promise you we will find her, once we do we will notify all of you as fast as we can." Just as Twilight finished Scootaloo walked up to her. "Is she hiding cause of me?" Tears were running down her face. Twilight saw the fillies distress and tried to calm her down. "No don't worry, she is probably upset about something that happened yesterday" Twilight looked at her with a promising grin.  Scootaloo spaced out pondering on what Twilight had said. After a few minutes she finally released something and looked up at her once more and started to break down in tears. "She found out about my condition a few weeks ago, she is hiding cause of me!" With that Scootaloo ran to her scooter and drove away leaving a dust cloud for the crowd to inhale. As she left the crowd of ponies started to cough in disgust one of the stallions called out to Scootaloo "Hey you can't just speed out of here like that!" But what the stallion said was way too far out of ear shot.

Twilight couldn't take it anymore, seeing Scootaloo run off crying like that. So she did what most ponies would do, she flew all over ponyville sky's looking here and there trying to find the rainbow pony. After hours of search she ran into her house, it was dark full of storm clouds. The exterior was getting pulled apart from the wind, the rainbow pool was overflowing to the ground below. Her door was wide open, Twilight could not believe her own two eyes. As the alicorn stepped onto the cloud platform she slowly walked to the door being as careful as possible. Twilight then poked her head in and called for the rainbow pony.

"Rainbow, you in here?" Her voice echoed in the still quiet house, Twilight decided to look around. The house was a complete mess from floor to roof in fact there was no roof just a hole showing Celestia's bright sun shinning above. This time Twilight called even louder.

"Rainbow dash this better not be a prank I'm getting scared." A sudden voice came from the room above it was so quiet she couldn't make it out.

"I-I'm here Twilight." The rainbow Pegasus emerged from above to show that her wings where uncared for, the mane was just knotted and full of dust, she was also skinny and boney. Her eyes were clouded from no food and her wings were missing some feathers. Rainbow tried to make it down to Twilight but she collapsed in front of her gasping for air, water, and food. Full of shock and disbelief

Twilight could not believe what she saw in front of her, she ran to her side scolding her as we'll  as crying.

"Y-y-you can't do this to yourself thi-this isn't you wh-why would you do this to yourself!" Twilight couldn't contain herself, she had Rainbows neck and head in one wing and was covering her tears with the other. Rainbow looked at her and replied in a soft weak voice.

"You are right, this isn't me. But I couldn't stand to see the look on Scootaloo's face knowing she could never fly. I-I thought being away from her for one day would clear my mind, but that day turned to two, then four, and now look where I am."-Rainbow gasped for more air-"This would break her heart, I can't let that happen, not to her." Rainbow couldn't hold her eyes open, she slowly let the weight of her head carry her off into sleep. Twilight was terrified to see her friend half dead in her wings, she set her down and ran outside her house and shot a distress spell causing a green flare like light burst in the air. In mer minuets royal guard where at her side checking head to hoof to see where she was hurt. As the guards where looking around. Twilight bursted from fear and stress.

"It's my friend not me! Go in and help her!" Twilight covered her mouth with her hooves, but the guard did not seem to be disturbed by her out burst. They ran in and took Rainbow dash and set her on a carriage that was waiting outside. They set her in the seat in which Twilight was going to sit. One of the guards was shocked by this and spoke to her.

"Your majesty, I'm sorry we can't fit your friend and you on the carrage, so we will drop you off first the-"

"I can fly home myself!" Twilight interrupted the guard. "My friend is in critical condition, she needs help right away!"  With that the guards flew out with Rainbow dash heading to Canterlot.
