Bad Crash

Rainbow Dash walked along the streets of Ponyville. She crashed into a filly when she wasn’t looking. She pony’s face brightened.

“I’m so sorry! Are you hurt little filly?” the pony nodded with her mouth gaped opened.

“Rainbow Dash! I’m so happy you’re okay! Anyway we have a lot of flying lessons to catch up on!”

“I-I’m sorry, am I your mentor?”

“Of course silly!” Rainbow Dash looked around cautiously for any ponies from the hospital.

“Come with me.” They walked out to the hill and Rainbow Dash sighed, the pony was so bright and cheerful. She had a nice orange coat and purple mane. She didn’t want to tell her.

She bit her lip then sighed again. “I’m sorry but I don’t know you…” Rainbow Dash said as kind as possible.

“What?” said the pony confused. “I’m Scooterloo, you’re student. Of course you know who I am!”

Rainbow Dash looked away from the filly’s eyes. “Look, when I crashed I was out for seven weeks. I must have hit my head or something because I can’t remember much.” When Rainbow Dash looked back she saw Scooterloo was frowning, she felt bad inside.

“Okay, but what do we do about it?”

“I don’t know, we need to remind me of something I can’t remember I think…”

Scooterloo’s bit her lip and ran off. Rainbow Dash didn’t know where Scooterloo was going but she waited anyway. She came back with a book in her mouth, she dropped it in front of Rainbow Dash.

Scooterloo sat next to Rainbow Dash as she read. Rainbow Dash and Scooterloo were there until it was dark, Rainbow closed the book. “Anything?” Scooterloo asked.

Rainbow was about to say no when two small part jigsaw puzzle was in her hoof. “Cutie mark crusaders… You’re part of the Cutie mark crusaders… I mentor you in flying lessons… Daring-Do is my favourite book character… I remember something!”

“That’s great! I’ll tell your friends-“ Rainbow put a hoof on Scooterloo’s shoulder.

“No, we need as little ponies to know of this as possible… They’ll want me in the hospital but the only way to remember is to be out here. Is there somewhere I can sleep for now?” Scooterloo tried to think of something then it hit her.

They snuck past the apple farm and into the treehouse. Sweetie Belle and Applebloom were sitting there waiting. “Hey, what’s Rainbow Dash doing here? She already has her cutie…” said Applebloom.

“What is it Applebloom?” asked Sweetie Belle.

“Ah! What happened to Rainbow Dash’s cutie mark!?” Everyone looked to Rainbow Dash’s blank flank. Rainbow jumped from her own surprise.

“Scooterloo, get a book about everything from Twilight’s library!” Rainbow Dash said, Scooterloo ran out. “Wait? Twilight has a library? Hm…”

Scooterloo returned with a book. They got to adults with blank flanks. “It says if an adult mare or stallion forgets their destiny or special talent then they go back to having a blank flank.” Scooterloo read out. She looked up to Rainbow Dash slowly expecting some kind of explanation.

Rainbow didn’t answer. Everyone went dead silent. They all decided to camp in the treehouse, Rainbow Dash spread her wings out and kept the fillies warm. She still didn’t know enough.
