The Mare Who Waited

"I'm going to miss you Pinks." Rainbow Dash gave one last hug to Pinkamena.

"Me too." Pinkamena hugged back. "Dashie?"

"Yeah?" Rainbow Dash looked at her.

"Pinkie Promise you'll come back Dashie.."

"Cross my heart and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye!" The pegasus gave a warm smile.

"All aboard!" yelled the conductor.

"Well, see ya' later Pinks!" Rainbow Dash winked at her.

*** 2nd week with the Wonderbolts..***

"Ready to perform Rainbow?" Spitfire smiled.

"I was born ready!" Rainbow Dash grinned, but soon then the grin faded. 'My head..ughh' the pegasus tried to ignore it.

"Rainbow Dash?" Spitfire concernedly looked at her. "You okay?"

"Of course I am!" She shook her head slapping on a smile.

"You sure?" Spitfire frowned. "Look, if you're not feeling good then maybe you-"

"No, no! I'm good, okay?" Rainbow Dash cut her off.

"Um..okay then" Spit fire looked away.

"Up next the...WONDERBOLTS!" The announcer called.

"Time to shine!" Spitfire prepared her wings.

"Yeah, heh." Rainbow Dash nervously smiled.

The team began to fly with their astonishing tricks as the crowd "oohh" and "awww".

"C'mon Rainbow! This is our last move!" Sorain called.

"Aww, yeah!" The pegasus tried to focus.

All of sudden, Rainbow Dash began to feel dizzy. Everything seemed to be out of place.

"Snap out of it, snap out of it!" she told to herself. Rainbow Dash couldn't, she felt as if something was pulling her down. She then closed her eyes, there she fell and fell towards the ground.

"RAINBOW!" she heard a voice calling her.

"Rainbow! Rainbow!" she head a voice. "WAKE UP!"

The hurt pegasi slowly opened her eyes in which to see the light orange coated mare looking down at her.

"S-Spit Fi-ire.." her voice felt hoarse. "W-what happened?" she began to cough out blood. Rainbow Dash then began to look at the blood that was all over her.

"Rainbow Dash! Hang in there! The doctors are coming right away!" tears shredded off from Spitfire.

"M-my b-body hurts so b-bad.." Rainbow Dash coughed up blood again.

Like a flash something came towards Rainbow's mind.

"P-Pinkie..!" she tried to stand up. "I m-must get to her.."

"You can't!" Spitfire held her. "You are badly injured."

"N-no!" She pushed Spitfire out of the way. "I made a p-promise a-and I m-must get back to h-her!" The injured pegasus began to run but only tripped after the 5th step.

"R-Rainbow Dash!!" Spitfire grabbed her.

"I-I won't make it, I t-tried but I-I couldn't!" Tears bursted out of Rainbow Dash. "I made a p-promise to h-her!" Rainbow Dash began to yell with pain. She felt her heart beating slowly. "I-I guess th-his is th-he end.. I t-thought it'd be a h-happy e-end.." Rainbow Dash looked at Spitfire. "Sp-pitfire?" She grabbed her hoof.

"Y-yeah?" Spitfire voice began to shake.

"P-promise you'll tell P-Pink..." Before the pegasus could finish her sentence she had slowly closed her eyes and had let go of her hoof from Spitfire.

"P-promise me what?" She shook Rainbow. "Rainbow? RAINBOW!!"

Pinkamena waited for her dear friend, Rainbow Dash, who had been accepted to the Wonderbolts.

"Pinkie Promise you'll come back Dashie.."

"Cross my heart and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye!"

She remembered the pegasus smiling brightly as she left on the train.

Pinkamena had been waiting many weeks for her to come but she hadn't came.

Big, thick clouds became to form all of sudden. The rain came pouring and pouring as the ponies quickly went into shelter. Yet, except for Pinkamena, still sitting on the bench waiting for her friend.

"D-Dashie..?" tears strolled down from her wet, cold face.

The pink pony had been waiting for her friend..not knowing about the tragic accident...
