A Grounded Rainbow

As Nurse Redheart went through the tests, she grew more and more restless. Finally after what seemed like forever Nurse Redheart let out a sigh. It wasn't a good kind of sigh either, it was the bad kind of sigh.

"I'm so sorry Rainbow Dash, but you have Aereo disease." Nurse Redheart said. "What?" asked Rainbow Dash, confused. "It's a disease, named after Captain Aereo, who was a pegasus guard of Celestia's 500 years ago." said Nurse Redheart.

"He was the first known case. His wings stiffened at irregular intervals, making it impossible for him to fly. He was determined to be a great guard anyways though." she continued. "But what does this have to do with me?" asked Rainbow Dash.

"Just give me some medicine, and I'm on my way." she said. "I'm sorry Rainbow Dash, but there isn't a cure. It's a genetic disorder. You won't ever fly again." Nurse Redheart said, looking away from her.

"What? What do you mean I'll never fly again?" asked Rainbow Dash. "The most I can do is give you some exercises so you can go longer without it happening. But your flying days are still over." Nurse Redheart told her as gently as she could.

"B-But I have to fly! It's always been my dream to join the Wonderbolts! How am I supposed to join them if I can't fly?" yelled Rainbow Dash, starting to tear up. "I'm so sorry." said Nurse Redheart, her own tears starting to form.

Rainbow Dash ran out of the office, not caring who saw the tears running down her cheeks. "Twilight will know what to do I'm sure of it." she said, trying to convince herself as she ran towards her friends house.
