"Hey, Rainbow CRASH!" a bully said firmly. "How 'bout you give up your stupid desire to fly? I'm much better than you!" But Rainbow Dash would never give up. She was the most determined and brave Pegasus in Cloudsdale.

"How about you stop being a JERK and watch me fly? I'm gonna crush you like a bug!" She flew forward as the bully sped up behind her. He was catching up. "Oh, you wanna race?" said the young filly. "Let's do it."

She zipped forward, pushing her wings as hard as she could. A big sonic rainboom was in the presence of all the young Pegasi. But it was no regular sonic rainboom. It was the first quadruplet rainboom EVER. The wind blew hard as dust began to travel into the center of Rainbow's eyes. She screamed in agony at the sting of the dust. She lost conciousness completely as the last blast of dust hit her pink irises.


Rainbow Dash remembered that moment, when she fell into a coma, and woke up with broken limbs, using electronic boosters to make it look like she could still move properly. The young mare lay on her cloud bed, waiting for her friends to call her down. She began to practice a little bit. All of a sudden, she heard Applejack's voice. "Rainbow, come down! Today's our Annual Spa Day!"

"Oh, no," Rainbow groaned. She hated the Annual Spa Day. Massages, hooficures, soaking, she thought it would all hurt with her broken limbs. She was forced to come down. "Applejack, what if it hurts?"

"It's okay, sugarcube. It won't. I promise."
