Rainbow Dash awoke. Now what do you do when you wake up at a time that's unknown? Do you feel you have trouble sleeping? Or are you glad that you still have time to sleep? In space that's not an easy answer. What if the clocks went down? There wouldn't really be telling what time it really is. Never the less, it's normally time to go.
"Rainbow Dash, you're late!" boomed over the p.a making Rainbow Dash jump off her bed. "Oh sorry this is set to p.a"
Rainbow Dash moaned. She did this everyday she didn't know if Twilight actually meant to do it.
"Am i actually late?"
"You'll make it if you get up now. It's just normal to get up 15 minutes earlier." replied twilight now speaking over frequency in her room.
"Why do i have to go?" moaned Rainbow Dash.
"Because you're our finest engineer so we're sending you to station 2. That's why. You agreed."
"Ok ok i'm up."
Twilight cut off the frequency as Rainbow Dash got up from her bed. The air tasted stale but Rainbow Dash got used to it. But to go back down to equestria and breathe air there. That would be everyone's dream.
Rainbow Dash fitted her suit which didn't actually take a while. Rainbow Dash usually tries to see how fast she can don it everyday. One time she actually managed to rip it while trying.
She trotted down to the Hangar where her ship would be waiting along with the others.
"Is this really my ship? Looks like a bunch of junk"
"You picked this ship Rainbow Dash. It's what your getting. No changes" growled Twilight.
"Yeah yeah, i was being sarcastic"
"Didn't sound like it."
"You're the smartest one here twilight. You should of known that i was being sarcastic"
"Well if you were to arrive on time in about, say, 2 days, you should be leaving around now.
Rainbow Dash looked around the hangar to find about 5 different ships that looked way better than this one.
"Can't i choose one of those?"
"If they weren't on the list, than you're obviously not getting them."
"ok..." moaned Rainbow Dash entering the ship. The ship was nothing special. Just a standard issue ship that accomodates lots of features that may be needed.
"t minus, 20 seconds"
"TWILIGHT THIS IS NOT ONE OF THOSE OLD FASHIONED SHIPS FROM 20 YEARS AGO."
"Yeah yeah, i was just kidding, you're fine to go when you're ready. I'll be with you all the way. Not literally."
Rainbow Dash turned on the reactors and unlocked the landing gears. She would only have to pilot it for a while before the Auto pilot came in to use.
"See you on the far side."
"Well you won't be able to see us..." replied Twilight.
"Don't you understand quotes?"
"That was not a... Whatever..."
The ship flew out of the hangar with a roar and made it's way to station 2.
"You're going the wrong way!" shouted twilight over the frequency.
"Woops, having to much fun here, you know, the first few minutes of liftoff?"
30 minutes passed and the auto-pilot was engaged.
"Checking systems is the most boring thing ever."
"You know i have the ability to check the systems also?" said Twilight over the intercom.
"I'mma go into cryo-sleep now."
"Make sure it wakes you up in 12 hours. You need to perform checks every 12 hours."
"12 HOURS?, i thought it was 1 day..."
"I never said that, it's 12 hours and it's going to stay 12 hours."
"Well i guess i'll see you in 12 hours" moaned Rainbow Dash entering the cryo-pod in the medbay.
Rainbow Dash awoke 12 hours later.
"That was fast. It's like i literally climbed in here 1 minute ago. I don't actually remember the last time i went into cryo-sleep though"
"3 years ago. That's when you went into cryo-sleep to visit uranus."
"That trip was terrible, Uranus is the most boring planet ever. And the most funny."
"I didn't think it was boring."
"OF COURSE YOU DIDN'T TWILIGHT."
"Twilight, what would happen if i were to never come back?"
"What you mean if station 2 captures you and breaks frequency with us?"
"Something like that. I don't want it to happen"
"It shouldn't happen"
Suddenly from the corner of Rainbow Dash's eye, she spotted an asteroid.
"Oh look an asteroid... AND IT'S COMING RIGHT AT ME."
Rainbow Dash leapt for the controls as the asteroid was approaching her. Or she was approaching it...
"It won't budge!"
"What's wrong Rainbow Dash?"
"We're in collision for an asteroid and i don't know what to do! The controlls aren't budging"
"Rainbow dash..."
That's all she heard. It was over. They were going to fast and collided with the asteroid.
Everything went black.
