This is Embarrassing, But...

Apple Bloom walked to her friends (including Daring Do ) and said, "Ya think Rainbow's enjoyin' this day at all?" All 3 ponies answered with a shrug, which was answered by Apple Bloom's groan. "Ah don't think she is." Apple Bloom went to check on her just to make sure.

The young Earth filly looked through the door with a gasp. The Mane 6 have been soaking for about 15 minutes now, and Apple Bloom was surprised to see Rainbow enjoying it. Rainbow sighed and said, "Girls, I underestimated you." Rarity looked at her with a confused face, and Rainbow finally confessed her secret. "When I was a filly, I fell into a coma and broke many limbs. My back, my hooves, my wings..."

She told her friends the whole story and AJ answered, "Dang, Rainbow, that must REALLY hurt!" Rainbow answered with a nod, tears spilling from her eyes. "Sugarcube, don't be so hard on yourself. If some bully was underestimatin' you, he can take a hike!" Applejack gently put a hoof on Rainbow's shoulder and said, "As Ah said this mornin', Ah promise it won't hurt."

Rainbow smiled. Wiping her tears, she said, "What's next, Rares?" Rarity said that they were getting massages. Rainbow realized it didn't hurt like what Daring Do did. The spa ponies identified everypony's favorite oils. Applejack's was Apple Delight, Rarity's was Diamond Dazzle, Twilight's was Magic Amaze, Fluttershy's was Forest Wonder, Pinkie's was Party Time Relaxation, and Rainbow's was Special Rainboom.

After an entire 20-minute massage, Rarity said the last thing was a hooficure. Rainbow froze in horror. "Listen, darling, it doesn't hurt, and....AHHHHHHH!" Rarity was terrified when she saw Rainbow's hooves. They were bleeding so much she fainted.

When Rarity finally woke up she told the spa ponies to go easy on Rainbow. One of them gently pressed the file against Rainbow's right hoof, while the other one massaged the left. Rainbow took a deep breath and closed her eyes. She sighed as her hooves began to feel a lot better.

About 5 minutes later, Rainbow felt no pain in a single limb. Her hooves looked nicer than ever. Rarity was in right in front of her. The unicorn said, "Did you enjoy this, dear?" "Yes," Rainbow said softly.

She realized she didn't need her robotic gadgets anymore. She threw them out and walked straight back to the castle with her friends, feeling no pain. Nada. Zip. Zilch.

Each Cutie Mark Crusader went to their sister, asking them about their spa day. They all said it was absolutely wonderful. Scootaloo was so surprised she almost fell. Sweetie Belle, Apple Bloom, and Daring Do joined them, along with the rest of the Mane 6.

"I loved it, girls," Rainbow said. "I loved it."
