Bring on the Thunder (Chapter 1)

It was a beautiful day in Equestria, the sun was shining, the birds were singing and Rainbow Dash was practicing. She was taking advantage of this day, as the skies were mostly clear except for the odd cloud. These were Rainbow Dash's favorite conditions to practice her new moves, and improve her old moves. She'd been working on her new move, "The Rainboom Whirlpool". She knew this would inspire her number one fan to keep practicing to be as good as her. Her ambition to be a Wonderbolt was now non-existing, all she wanted to do is impress Scootaloo.

"Hey, Rainbow Dash! You've practiced that move over and over and, it's not getting any better!" Scootaloo shouted into the air. "Ever thought of having a break? You're tired Dash, and I need you to see some of my moves!"

Rainbow Dash let out a massive sigh. "Fine kid, your turn."

"Finally!" Scootaloo replied in relief. Scootaloo was now all grown up, her cutie mark was a wing with sparks of lightning shooting out of it. Rainbow Dash gently floats back to the ground, and sits on the grass. Scootaloo bolts up right into the air to begin her tricks. "Hey Dash, this is what I call 'The Orange Tornado'!"

Scootaloo looks around at the few surrounding clouds to decide how she's going to pull this move off.

"Okay." Scootaloo says to herself. "Let's do this!"

Scootaloo darts over to one cloud and does a spiral, she stays in her spiral position while maintaining a circle, as she goes through all the clouds. A bright orange tornado starts to form, Scootaloo then flies right into the center of the Tornado. "Okay Scootaloo, Flap!" She says to herself as she lets off a giant flap of her wings. The tornado splits into two orange gusts of wind that eventually fade away.

"I just did that?!" Scootaloo flies down to meet her idol. "Hey Rainbow, did you like it?" Rainbow does nothing, she's just sat there, silent. "Um, Dash? You there?"

Rainbow's face turns from no expression to a huge smile. "Oh my gosh, you were awesome Scoots!" Scootaloo doesn't know what to say, she can't believe her idol just said that.

"So... Are you gonna try that trick now Dash?"

Rainbow replies "You know what? I'm not gonna try. I'm gonna just do it. I mean, after what you pulled off, I have to reward you with a trick like 'The Rainboom Whirlpool'!" Rainbow gets her wings into position. She was nervous, but at the same time she was also very confident to impress her number 1 fan. "Get ready to watch Scoots, you might learn something here!"

"Just show me already Dash!"

Rainbow Dash gets into launch position ready for her hardest move ever. Rainbow kicks off from the ground, shooting straight up into the air.

"Okay Rainbow, you've got the perfect launch. Now for the hard part." She says to herself.

She gets as far up into the sky as she can and does a full loop so she is facing the ground. She starts to move in a circular formation, with the circle getting smaller each time. The sound barrier starts to break, Rainbow's confidence getting higher and higher and finally, it breaks. She lets off a whirlpool shaped Rainboom.

"Yes!" Scootaloo screamed from the ground.

Rainbow Dash smile while in the rainbow vortex. She thought it was all good, but suddenly she finds herself not in control of her movement. The Rainboom shape dissapears, launchung Rainbow into the higher sky.

Rainbow tries to steer her body but it's no use, she is flying too fast. At a very high speed, she flies straight into a thunder cloud. She gets caught in the cloud, shocked and eventually...BOOM! The cloud explodes.

"Dash? Dash!" Scootaloo screams. Scootaloo flies up into the air to where the explosion happened. She notices a blue object falling about half a mile from the explosion. "I'm coming Dash!" She flies as fast as she can to rescue her cyan friend. "C'mon just a little more... Gotcha!" Scootaloo grabs Rainbow and floats back down to the ground. "Dash can you here me? Dash! Oh no! I have to get you to a hospital!" She says to her unconscious friend.

Scootaloo carries Rainbow through Ponyville. Twilight notices this. "Scootaloo!" Twilight shouts to the orange pegasus. Scootaloo turns around to face her.

"Twilight?" Scootaloo says in an upset voice.

"What happened Scootaloo?"

"I don't have time to explain, we need to get Dash to a hospital!"

Twilight nods her head. "Alright, let's go." They both end up carrying Rainbow through Ponyville to the hospital. "Okay I'll talk to the receptionist, you stay here with Rainbow to make sure she doesn't..." Twilight stops herself, she doesn't want to upset Rainbow's closest friend. "Just look after her, okay?"

"Okay."

Twilight talks to the receptionist, and tells her how important it is that they help Rainbow right away.

"Okay, I'll notify A&E."

Twilight nods. "Thanks."

The receptionist produces a reassuring smile, as she walks through a door to leave them. Moments later doctors walk through a door with the receptionist.

"That one." The receptionist says as she points her hoof to Rainbow Dash. The doctors get Rainbow onto a stretcher and take her to A&E.

"Take care of her, please!" Scootaloo shouts down to them as they walk down the corridoor. Scootaloo sits on a chair in the waiting room and does exactly what the waiting room is used for, waiting.
