A Memory is All it is Now...

Rainbow Dash looked off in the distance, waiting for her friends. At this point and time, she could not see them as the sun circled their silhouettes once they came. It was nearly time for the moon to rise. But as a new moon, no light will be shed from it. Rainbow Dash was about to try something new. As she waited she began warming up, stretching then taking flight. Though, a slight tingling sensation began working in her side, though she ignored it.

"Dashie!", Pinkie Pie exclaimed as everyone met in the center of the park.

"Ey, everypony! I've got this experiment I wanna do, and if it works, it'll be wicked. So, who wants to know what it is?", Rainbow Dash asked them all.

"Oooh!! Ooh! Mememememe!", Pinkie raised her hoof, hopping in place.

"Well too bad, because I can't even explain it! Just watch. Twilight. you know how when I go super sonic, I create a sonicrainboom right?"

"What about it?", Twilight responded.

"I'm gonna do one...At night. A rainbow is light, no?"

"Yes, actually, it comes from light from the sun."

"Take away the sun and you've got no color for the rainbow."

"That means there will be no rainbow."

"Or maybe there will be. Lets try it. Could ya give me a slight boost? A rocket into the air?"

"Sure."

Twilight wrapped rainbow Dash in her magic and flung her up as hard as she could, though it was a lot easier than she thought, pushing Rainbow Dash into half the speed she needed. Once the Cyan mare climbed to the perfect height, she turned and began a long decent, flapping her wings and stretching her body straight. The tingling in her side grew to a stinging pain and she veered off course, lost focus and ended up in dangerous turbulence.

A few spirals in random directions and as she tried to right herself into a controlled flight the pain in her side worsened, locking up her right wing muscles. She began a final spiral down, and if it weren't for Twilight she would have hit the ground at over a hundred miles an hour.

Though, the pain of her muscle locked side of her body was beginning to wear her spirit quickly til she began wincing then clenching her body, trying to make the pain stop.

"Rainbow Dash, you ok?", Applejack asked.

Twilight ran a magic view through her body and then looked to the others.

"Hmm...She is in a lot of pain, but I don't know why."

Twilight used a sedation spell, putting Rainbow Dash to sleep. Though, her body still cringed, an effect from the muscle lock up.

"She looks in a lot of pain. Maybe we should bring her to the doctor.", Fluttershy proposed.

Rainbow Dash's body finally relaxed and they all lifted her up, only for Twilight to pick her up again but with magic.

"I'll get it. We'll see what's wrong this time and then she'll try this again in a few days, or after however long it takes for recovery."

"Knowin her, she'd be up and in the air or atleast on her feet before then."

"You're right."

As they arrived in the doctor's office with Rainbow Dash, the first thing that happened was the doctor rolled his eyes.

"What happened to her this time?"

"Can't really tell. She was flying, then she went out of complete control. It was like she stopped flapping both wings in sync. Like she was flapping them one after the other. But that's just my opinion."

The doctor took out his stethoscope and checked Rainbow Dash's heart beat, trailing it to her side he stopped there with a confused expression.

"Hmph. That sounds a little weird. Probably just a knotted muscle or something."

The doctor began gently pressing against Rainbow Dash's side under her wing until he found something of a great difference.

"Thats not a knotted muscle. Too thick and hard. That's something new. I'm going to have to know if Rainbow Dash ahs had any implants."

"Not that we know of. Currently."

"I'll have a look at her medical records and even have her scanned top to bottom. If she ahs anything wrong going on inside of her, I'll let you all know after I notify her parents."

"But she doesn't have any parents, or atleast she doesn't live with or hasn't even introduced them to us.", Twilight said.

"Well, she may be hiding a few things from you. Not to worry, if you are close friends that is. We have a few cases similar to hers anyway. But I have one important question above all else."

"What would that be?"

"During the time that the sun rises and sets, does she ever do anything active out in the sunlight?"

"Why, yes. Thats when she's up. She sleeps at noon and midnight so that she can enjoy the beauty of both while she practices flying."

"Hmm...Good to know. You know, the afternoon is when most sunlight comes down on the land?"

"Yes. But what does sunlight have to do with this?"

"A very good reason. Do you know if she sleeps out in the sun? Or if she has been hiding something?"

"Uhm, yes and yes. She takes her afternoon naps on a cloud above all others so that no one will disturb her, and come to think of it, she has been wearing a headband a lot recently. Though, she does sweat a lot. So I wouldn't see why."

The doctor removed the head band and took a quick look around the area where it had been.

"There is ntohing out of the ordinary that I see, yet. But I ask these questions because too much sunlight and exercise, in Rainbow Dash's manner, is a bad thing. It can cause cancer fromt eh UV rays in sunlight, and too much heat can cook off her skin, there are numerous reasons why sunlight is not good. But there are other things. The increased production of ATP, etc, can also be bad. I will have to get a good look before I start any diagnosis."

"Ok, could you please tell us if she wakes up, we kind of need to tell ehr what happened."

"No can do. She's going to be put under a full sedation until these tests are done. Knowing Rainbow Dash, she wouldn't let us if she were awake."

Rainbow Dash stirred as the pain in her side returned and then the muscles snapped erect, forcing her to roll over off the bed onto the floor as her wing took a strong hold in a flight position.

A soft pain filled moan came from Rainbow Dash as she sat up and she began shimpering.

"Make it stop, it hurts!"

"I don't know how yet, Rainbow Dash. The doctor-"

"Doctor? That's exactly who I wanted to see, thank you, Twilight. But...I...It jsut won't go down, I can't relax it!"

The doctor walked over to Rainbow Dash and tapped her with his horn. She quickly fell asleep and shortly after, the muscles which were taut, relaxed and her wing laid as limp as she.

"She's worried about herself. Sure sign she knows it's not good. I'd sit here and ask you many things, like her eating habits and what else she does, but it seems we haven't the need for that anymore. I'll see what I can do."

"Thank you."
