What Happened to Them?

The rest of the days following to the day Rainbow's plug would be pulled were dark and rainy, Rainbow's parents visited their dying daughter to say their goodbyes and comfort Paint and Scootaloo, and Sapphire got ready to go home. She wouldn't usually leave at  a time like this, but she felt as if everypony would need time to calm down and say goodbye to the fearless Pegasus. Pinkie, who was allowed to leave the hospital, didn't smile since she woke up. Not because of her burns, it was because she knew she was losing one of her best friends, and there was nothing she could do about that.

In fact, the, now called, Mane 5 were acting different. Twilight didn't read any books, Fluttershy was slowly going insane, Applejack didn't have the energy to buck apples, and Rarity closed up shop and stopped making dresses. It wasn't just them, most of Equestria stopped doing what they were doing, thinking it would be rude to continue when the keeper of the Element of Loyalty was slowly drifting away from the world.

Then, something happened. As the Mane 5, Spike, Paint, the Cutie Mark Crusaders, and Rainbow's parents went into Dash's room, Rainbow began to have a blue aura surrounding her, and the rest of the friends began to light up. A bright, white light, blasted throughout the hospital room, and lifted Rainbow. Her deepest, most severe wounds disappeared, her heart began to beat on its own, and she began to breathe on her own. The light vanished and everypony in the room turned to Rainbow, who was now stirring, slowly waking up. As she opened her eyes for the first time that week, everypony began to cheer, smile, jump, and hug Rainbow. She finally woke up, and she wasn't going to leave any time soon.

After a month of being in a hospital, Rainbow was finally released, and could go home to Ponyville. A huge ceremony was thrown in her survival by, of course, Pinkie Pie. Rainbow was happy to be home at last, with her best friends, her sisters, and everypony in it. She was even happy to see that Discord made a quick appearance. Twilight quickly went to the castle.

"Spike, I need you to write me a letter to Princess Celestia." Spike quickly got ready to write.

"Dear Princess Celestia,

I never knew that friendship could save somepony from having their life taken away, even when the doctors couldn't do anything. You see, the magic of friendship isn't just something to spread across Equestria and defeat the evil or fix the wrong decisions. The magic of friendship is much stronger than that. If we didn't care about Rainbow Dash as much as we do, we would all be at her funeral, crying, and wishing we were there for her. This didn't just happen because we represent an Element of Harmony, no, this is because we still had faith that she would make it, even minutes before her plug would've been pulled. We were all true friends to Rainbow, and to each other. Not just us, but Scootaloo, Sapphire Harmony, and Paint Splash. This is because a true, true friend helps a friend in need, no matter how big that problem is.

From,

Twilight Sparkle"
