When a trick gone horribly wrong leaves Rainbow Dash battered, bruised, broken, and close to death, she's left several hundred miles away from Ponyville in the middle of the expansive Everfree forest.

Of course, who's to help her but a certain traveling showmare?

But the only problem now lies in whether or not Trixie's healing hooves will help Rainbow, or if Rainbow will attempt to off herself before the crazed bitch opens her self-obsessed mouth again. The fact that she's a little attractive doesn't help matters.
