A Revolution [ In Love ]

--- Act One - Chapter One --- A friend, A saviour

"Dash! C'mon, ya' can't stay cooped up there forever!"

The winds of Equestria were crisp and fine this particular morning, and most residental towns were out and about, doing daily chores, shopping, mingling, ect.

This was all but the case for a particularly lonely pony.

" Dash, please! " Somepony pleaded from the ground.

Somewhere in the outskirts of Ponyville a cloud home, or more accurately, a mini fortress, sat gloriously in the airspace. The only resident of the home, Rainbow Dash, was going through a self-induced depression, locking herself from everybody, including HER.

She lay on her bed of cloud, incapable of removing herself from a fetal position. Her tears starting to darken the 'material' as it was absorbed into the structure.

It had all started with that damned mare Applejack...

----- 48 hours previous to current time -----

Rainbow Dash had taken a liking to the favor of the winds today, and decided it was time to fly. Having nowhere in particular to go, she let herself glide with the wind for the moment, debating what to do, before deciding on aerobatics.

She dipped slightly lower and got caught in the gusts whipping around her. Instead of pulling up to regain balance, she let the wind continue pulling until that one perticular gust came...

And she waited little, as a current whipped up from beneath her, spirling her into freefall. She tucked her wings in to accelerate even further, neglecting almost all air resistance, letting gravity do the work.

The feel of the G-force tugging against her was enthralling, and it had the same euphoria about it every time... This feeling of rebirth that just seemed to make everything... Okay.....

She shook her head free of the thoughts, at the risk of some melodramatic, sappy, feminine thoughts running through her head.

She was nearly 100 feet up now.... 80... 55...

' Just... A bit.... More....'

30... 28.........24.......

Time slowed as the coherent danger of the ground came upon her. If she didn't pull up NOW she'd crash straight down... But she was so close to her record!
23..................20............17...16...14...10

Time crawled. Two more feet.... Just two more....

9..........8!

Her instincts screamed to pull up now, and she did. Her wings expanded, she crouched mid-air, and a mere foot from the ground, traveling an excess of nearly 450 miles per hour, she forced the gained momentum and inertia upon itself, and in one great push, bounded back skyward! The resulting force of the momentum nullifying the inertia caused a forceful explosion of many colors, her signature move, the Sonic RainBoom.

At least, that's what she planned on. At 15 feet up, Rainbow Dash finally gave into her instincts, and beat her great wings faster than a hummingbird. But, even that can't stop, or even slow sufficently, a pegasi in freefall.

Celestia granted, she slowed herself to nearly 200 mph, but she tumbled and barreled everywhere on the ground with the remaining speed. Hell, it was better than just crashing.

Everything was disoriented, and she felt herself banging against several trees.

Something thumped her on the head and Dash felt herself slip into unconsiousness.

----- 14 hours later -----

Dash awoke unsurpisingly sore. It was dark, she must've fallen asleep in the forest. Then why wasn't it cold? And she was on something soft... Like a bed...

Dash thought a moment, trying to recollect herself.

" The Rainboom.... How could i fail it...? " she realized.

" Dash? Y'all up an at 'em? " a voice resinated from across the room, the unmistakable accented voice of Applejack.

Dash groaned, Applejack, why was she here...?

Searching for a source of light, it was suddenly blinding her.

" Naagh! Ow! " she groaned as her pupils attempted to dialate much too quickly, sending shockwaves to her brain.

" Uh, sorry 'bout that partner, shoulda' warned ya. " she said, nearly amused by Dash.

Dash cracked an eye open, sitting up in the bed, kicking off the blanket. " Where am I...? " she said dumbly, as the entire area screamed 'FARM!!!'

Applejack stood taller on her front hooves, an act of pride. " Why, you're back at Sweet Apple Acres! Ya crashed in section three! Good thing too, any further an' I wouldn't have heard the crash! I came a-lookin' ta see what could'a caused all the ruckus, and I figured three fallen trees an' this mess of a pegasus was the most logical answer! You did get a nice ol' lump on the head though, apple must'a thunk'd ya. " she finished with a chuckle.

" You dragged me... Three acres here? This is the first section... Right? "

Applejack made a noise somewhere between a groan and a boasting 'humph' of pride. " Nah, each section's 'bout 4 acres, and I wouldn't drag ya all that way, I carried ya' on mah back! "

Dash, mildly surprised Applejack would endure such a feat for her, had enduced a gratefulness she hadn't felt in a long time.

" So what- "

Applejack cut her off. " Listen, you just hush and rest up, y'hear? I'll bring ya somethin to chow on in a sec. Okay? "

Dash saw that Applejack's tone left no room for debate, and shook her head dumbly, her mane scrambling in front of her face.

Applejack giggled lightheartedly before going to fetch some apple stew from dinner for Dash. But, when Applejack returned, Dash was already snoring.

'Somepony right there, she is. Some pony.....' she sighed to herself, Carrying herself to the bed beside Dash's where her little sister(s) slept on occasion, she laid down, and fell asleep to the thought of the pegasus she had just saved sleeping in her bed.
