A Grounded Rainbow

As Rainbow Dash ran to Twilight's she felt her wings stiffen again, but ignored it. When she arrived she was out of breath. She took a moment to compose herself, and then knocked on the door.

"Come in!" she heard Twilight's voice call. She opened the door, and found an empty room. "Twilight?" she called. "I'm in here." Twilight told her. She followed Twilight's voice to the kitchen where she was at the sink, cleaning a plate.

As she walked up to Twilight, she said, "I need to talk to you." "Sure Rainbow. You know you can always talk to me." Twilight said, still cleaning the plate. "Well Nurse Redheart said I have Aereo disease, and I was wondering-" she was cut off by the sound of the plate smashing onto the floor, and Twilight gripping her in a hug.

"Oh, I'm so sorry Rainbow." she said. "W-What do you have to be sorry for? You're the most powerful unicorn I know surely you can do something?" Rainbow Dash asked, but already knew the answer from her reaction.

"I'm so so sorry Rainbow." Twilight repeated as she felt something wet on her back. "Twilight." she choked out, unable to hold her own tears as they streamed down her face. They sat like that for a while until Spike came in.

"Twilight? Rainbow? What happened? Is something wrong?" he asked. "Yes there is." said Twilight, wiping her eyes. "Would you please get the rest of our friends." she asked Spike. "I'm on it." he said, giving her a solute, and running off.

"Come on we should wait for them in the front." Twilight said, ushering Rainbow Dash into the other room. All their friends arived one by one. Pinkie, Fluttershy, Applejack, and finally Rarity and Spike.

As soon as they were all assembled Twilight said, "There's something we have to discuss."
