The flight of her life

Twilight flew through the midnight sky, rain pelting against her, wetting her wings and impairing her vision, making it very difficult to fly. This did not deter the lavender alicorn, she was determined to help her friend no matter what. Suddenly, a flash of lightning danced across the sky, nearly frying her in place. Twilight did not care. She would keep on flying no matter what. She would get to Rainbow Dash, even if it killed her. She sped up and finally reached Rainbow Dash's house and knocked harshly on the door. After another lightning bolt struck not too far away, she decided she would just let herself in.

She entered the cloud house and shut the door behind her. "Rainbow Dash!" She called as she walked around the pegasus' house. She did not know where Rainbow's room was; Rainbow dash wasn't exactly one to invite people inside her house. Twilight eventually came upon the cyan pegasus' bedroom and set her saddlebag down next to the bed. "Rainbow Dash, wake up" she said, shaking her sleeping friend. Rainbow groaned,

         "Ugh. What time is it? Why are you in my house?" She asked groggily.

          "Nevermind that right now", Twilight said urgently. Rainbow dash sat up in bed.

          "Seriously what are you doing in my house?" She asked.

          "Just be quiet and let me prepare this." Twilight said, slightly annoyed now. She put all the ingredients she had grabbed from her house into a bottle. She then took out the last thing in her saddle bag, a kitchen knife, which gleamed as lightning struck outside.

         "Whoa what are you doing!?" Rainbow Dash asked frantically.

         "Relax, I'm not here to kill you" Twilight said, very annoyed now. She then held out her left hoof over the bottle of ingredients and closed her eyes. Rainbow watched wide eyed as Twilight brought the sharp blade down on her hoof.

          "What the hell, Twilight!?" Twilight ignored her question and let herself bleed into the bottle. Once the bottle was about half filled with twilight's blood, she wrapped her hoof in some bandages and handed the bottle to her horrified friend.

          "Drink it." She said impatiently.

          "What is wrong with you Twilight?! I'm not just going to drink your blood!" She yelled at the now disoriented and tired alicorn.

          "It's the only cure for pax-12. Drink it." She said blatantly. Reluctantly, the rainbow maned Pegasus brought the bottle to her lips, and let some of the mixture slip into her mouth.

She gagged when she tasted it.

          "Are you sure this is the only way..?" She asked.

          "If it weren't do you think I would have given you a pint of my blood?!?" Twilight was very impatient with her friend's shenanigans. Rainbow Dash didn't respond except by shakily bringing the bottle to her lips and downing the whole thing. "How do you feel?" Twilight asked.

         "Horrified." Responded the sick pony.

          "I mean, do you feel any better. Not how you feel about drinking my blood." Twilight said, rolling her eyes.

         "I-I feel... better. I really do. Thank you, Twilight. I... I think It really worked" Said Rainbow Dash.

          "It's nothing, really." Twilight replied.

         "No... I-I thought I was done for... but... but you...  you gave your blood for me. I am so lucky to have someone like you." Rainbow said, tears welling in her eyes.

         "Really, it's nothing. Anyways, I should get going now. It's pretty late and-" just then lightning struck again.

          "You shouldn't go out in that storm. Just stay here tonight." Said the cyan Pegasus.

          "I guess that's probably best. Where should I sleep?" Asked Twilight.

          "Actually I only have the one bed..." Dash said, embarrassed.

          "Oh... well then..." Twilight mumbled nervously

          "Oh come on, Twilight." Twilight sighed and got into bed with her friend, making an effort not to touch Rainbow Dash.

"Really though, I am so lucky to have someone like you." Rainbow said gratefully.

         "That's what friends are for" said Twilight. Rainbow was silent for a while before saying

          "Is that what we are? Friends?" Twilight looked at her, confused "like... I think we are more than just friends."

          Twilight replied confusedly, "I guess... we are more like sisters." Of all her friends, Rainbow dash was probably her closest friend,  with their shared love of reading, yet still they were very different so they always had something to talk about. Rainbow Dash was contemplating what Twilight said.

           "I don't think of us as sisters either..." she said, and looked at Twilight, who looked back at her.

           "Then what are we?" Twilight asked.

           "What do you think we are..." Rainbow said nervously, staring intently at the alicorn next to her. They stared at each other for a while, and Twilight became uncomfortably aware of the lack of distance between the two of them. She blushed, embarrassed, causing Rainbow Dash to blush in turn.

          Twilight then turned away and said shakily "Goodnight, Rainbow Dash."
