Festive Pride

Load Full Story

The festive ponies of Ponyville trotted all over town that day, to see the decorations as the owners of shops and attractions set up their booths. A hardworking apple

pony, Applejack was naturally setting up the Apple Family cart. "Business will be boomin'!" She exclaimed, noticing something that moved faster than the events

around her. "You know, that looks an awful like..." She squinted, raising a hoof to her hat to block the sun. "RainbowDash" She gasped. The pony was in fact flying high in the

air above her, speeding by so fast a rainbow trail flew behind her. AppleJack sighed. 'Rainbow...' she thought softly, admiring her secret love. 'For so long I've watched her

this way... could ah get any creepier?' She sighed harder and sadly looked at her hooves for a moment. AppleBloom looked at her sister after tugging a crate of apples

behind the booth.

"You ok sis?" She asked, her little girl western accent bouncing at the last syllable. AppleJack jumped, rattled from her thoughts and smiled at her little sister.

"Yeah, ah'm fine sugarcube" Bloom shrugged and continued to struggle with the crate. Aj turned to the skies and sighed a third time. 'Oh Rainbow...' she thought, and

shook her thoughts from her head, tending to the stand as needed.

In the skies, Rainbow dived and swooped, pulsing her powerful wings against her ribs to go faster or catch the wind in them to slow her down. 'Time for my practice act'

she thought bravely, and doing a 3 point turn and a full loop.

"Aww yeah" She yelled into the wind as she came out of the nose dive on the second loop. "I definitely think I'm ready to strut my stuff today" She grinned and spoke

out loud to herself, filled with self confidence. "Won't they be surprised when I time things juuust right and then BOOM" She exaggerated both hooves outwards to show her

enthusiasm. "A perfectly awesome rainboom right in front of their eyes!" Twilight Sparkle noticed rainbow hovering in the sky, talking to herself and grinned knowingly.

"Rainbow! Come on down here and sign in, everyones getting ready!" She called up to the cyan pegasus allowing herself to breathe and recollect. She lifted the check

board with her dark pinkish magic scanning The list for Rainbows name, while Rainbow floated down to Twilight. "Ah! here it is" She smiled with satisfaction at her success

and showed it to Rainbow who was now on the ground. "Sign here, Rainbow" she said curtly and basically shoved it in Rainbows face.

"Eh... ok" she grabbed the pen with her mouth and then signed her name to check herself in. Applejack saw the rest of her friends over by the "air space arena" that

had been set up in a empty space of town. Sighing to herself she walked over to them, just like Applejack would, sexy but calm. Rainbow turned around and saw applejack

swaying her hips to walk over to where they all were. 'Oh my celestia...' she thought watching Aj walk and paying attention to her hip sway motion and muscles ripple beneath her beautiful orange fur.

"Hey applejack! How's the apple stand coming along?" The purple princess asked kindly smiling at her friend.

"It's uh.. it's doin' just fine twi, just gettin' set up" Twilight nodded and resumed looking at her checklist. "You ready ta hit the skies RD'?" Applejack smiled at her admired

pony and felt flustered as she returned a warm and almost enticing smile in return.

"Hell yeah" Rainbow exclaimed, feeling butterflies increase at that slight blush in Aj's cheeks. 'must be from working' Rainbow concluded. 'There's no way she...' Before

she could think any further on the subject, Twilight looked panicked.

"Rainbow! Go! You're up!"

Rainbow jumped, her fur slightly ruffling as she grimaced at Twilights shouts.

"Alright, alright!" She fluffed her wings and smirked cockily and walked centered to the ring. "You ready Ponyville!?" She shouted and propelled herself off the ground,

the growing crowd cheering in unison at their favorite "show pony". Rainbow soaked it all in, her fore-hooves out wide and welcoming to her admirers. She hovered high in

the air, ready to begin. "Then let's get this show started!" She screamed and soared into the sky. Gracefully flying backwards and in a full loop. "You got this Rainbow" she

muttered to herself, sighing with slight nerves. She turned slightly to look over at her friends. Her eyes landed on Applejack who held her stetson and whistled. She blushed

and turned to focus. Rearing her front legs she brought herself around heading the opposite direction upside-down. She beat her wings harder, doing the famed four point

turn as she zoomed by. Cheers grew from the adoring crowd and Rainbow grinned. "Time for my biggest Rainboom yet!" She shouted into the wind, she skidded to a halt in

the air and zoomed at record breaking speeds the opposite way. Again. She was breathing heavy but beat her wings against her sides hard as she could and made a point

with her hooves, ready to make history. She beat them harder, ready for the main event. But as she came into the sound barrier breaking part, she felt something was off...

not quite right. "No... Celestia no..." she started to panic as she got to close to a tree in the arena and clipped it with her right wing. "DAMN" she yelled in pain and gasped as

the edge of town was closing in on her... and fast. Bracing herself for impact, she winced, hitting the ground with enough force to hear a rumble as she hit and rolled on the

ground, slamming into a group of trees. Blacked out.

Applejack watched in horror as a terrible even occurred before her eyes. They all watched rainbow, she was doing beautifully... Oh so beautiful... then.. the crash.

"NOO!" Applejack screamed, rushing to where she had crashed. Twilight and the others looked at each other with worry in their eyes.

"Rainbow..." Twilight whispered and rushed after Applejack, "Come on girls!" She called behind her, and the rest of the mane six followed suit.

Applejack reached Rainbow Dash to see her motionless in a heap of dirt and branches from hitting the trees. She bit her lip and rushed to RD's side, worried that she

was severely injured. "Rainbow Dash..." She prodded her with her hoof, carefully, as not to harm her. Twilight, Pinkie, Rarity and Fluttershy arrived shortly after and gasped

upon the sight.

"Rainbow! AJ, is she... is she alright?" Applejack turned around to face them, eyes red from trying not to cry.

"Ah think so Twi, you girls should probably get 'er to a hospital though... to be sure" She prodded the dirt with her hoof and trotted away, not wanting to face her severe

sadness and dismay for the event.

"Applejack! Applejack wait!" Twilight called after her, but she was in through the crowd that had followed and disappeared. "Come on girls, let's get her up" Twilight

looked to all of them and they all nodded. Fluttershy spoke quietly, concerned for her dear friend.

"Is... is she going to be ok?" Rarity put a hoof around flutters and smiled comfortingly.

"She will be darling, you know how she is" Rainbow stirred and groaned in pain, struggling to get up.

"Celestia's sake, what happened?" She shook her head, recalling the events slowly. She saw all her friends... all but one... there to greet her. Twilight and the girls ran to

hug Rainbow and she smiled half heartedly. "Ouch..." she grumbled when they squeezed her a bit hard and they let go.

"Sorry! but we were so worried about you! and hugs are the greatest medicine don't you think?" Pinkie grinned widely and bounced in place, excited about Rainbows

awakening.

"Where's Applejack?" RD questioned, not seeing her adorable friend anywhere.

"Applejack... I think she couldn't take seeing you so hurt so I suppose she left darling" Rarity looked at RD sadly and the girls nodded. The crowd, seeing Rainbow Dash

awake, went back to the festivities and decided everything was fine. Rainbow got up to walk painfully and the girls stood in her way.

"No Rainbow, you're going to a hospital" Twilight said sternly, but Rainbow frowned and pushed past them.

"I'll be fine, I'm gonna go find AJ" She grumbled, every step sending needles through her nerve system, making her wince or cry out in pain when she stumbled. Twilight

and Rarity turned to each other.

"It's no use Twilight you know how Rainbow gets.." Twilight nodded in agreement, and leaned on Rarity a little.

"You're right Rarity, but I still think a hospitals best for her" Rarity smiled and chuckled a little.

"Applejack, if she finds her, will make sure she gets there, you know that" The group laughed together and all went to the festival, deciding to wait on bugging Rainbow

about that till later.

Rainbow had barely made it to the farm before Applejack came running from the barn, she stopped in her tracks, glad to see her fond friend was alright.

"Applejack..." she started but Aj looked cross so Rainbow tilted her head. "What's wrong?" She asked cautiously, unprepared for what Applejack would say.

"You, worried me...." She said, leaning her head on the pegasus. "AJ..." Applejack bit her lip again and faced Rainbow

"Ya need ta' go to a hospital" She glared hard "Or ill put you in one myself" She raised an eyebrow and Rainbow gulped, quickly making it seem like it was no big deal.

"Yeah yeah... whatever I'll do it." She grinned "For you." she smirked and turned to limp away, but applejack shimmied underneath her and stood her full height,

carrying RD on her back.

"You ain't walkin'" She stated and Rainbow chuckled, rolling her eyes. Just as the sun was beginning to set in the late afternoon, beginning the night time part of the

festival.

Rarity was looking at new cloth in the stalls when Pinkie grabbed her to show her the sweets.

"Come on rare! Look at all the CUPCAKES!" She screeched and Rarity

smiled and rolled her eyes playfully,

"Pinkie, darling, as much as I love your antics I must get new cloth for the upcoming season!" She turned to go back to the cloth stall and was grabbed again, this time

she turned on her "attacker". "Now listen here Pi-" She froze and grinned madly at the sight. "Applejack! Rainbow!" She squeaked, making

them both wince.

"Come on now gals, let's get this stubborn ol’ Iron Pony to the hospital" Rainbow puffed her chest proudly at the name

"An you know it!" She boasted, Aj chuckled and hit RD's flank with her tail.

"Hush, you" and turned to walk towards Ponyville hospital. Twilight caught up with Applejack, smiling warmly.

"Where'd she find you AJ?" She asked curiously. Applejack turned to Twi and sighed.

"She didn't. I saw her from mah bedroom window and rushed on out" She concluded and Rainbow pinned her ears.

"Ah I see.." She and the others walked along Applejack in silence and reached the hospital prepared to check a injured cyan pegasus in.
