It was a brisk autumn morning in the town of Ponyville. It was calm and peaceful all over the land. Except...
"Hi, Fluttershy," said Twilight.

"Eep! Oh... hi Twilight, you scared me," responded Fluttershy.

"I was wondering if I could test this new spell on you," Twilight asked.

"Oh! Um.. Okay? Anything to help a friend," said Fluttershy.

"This is a flight-boosting spell. It's a prototype and I needed a tester, but Rainbow Dash is asleep. All you have to do is fly around for a few minutes in the clouds," explained Twilight.

Twilight mustered all her magical energy, concentrating it all in her horn, and administering it to Fluttershy's wings. Fluttershy glowed briefly, before the magic slowly faded.

"Wow! That felt weird, " said Fluttershy.

"Well, what are you waiting for? Test it out," Twilight urged.

Fluttershy took to the skies, spiraling majestically through the clouds. Suddenly, she felt weak and tired, as if all her flying ability had been sapped in an instant. Slowly, her wings stopped beating. Twilight looked on in horror as Fluttershy fell from the skies. Twilight screamed more loudly then she had ever screamed. In the skies above, a dreary Rainbow Dash looked off the edge of her cloud.

"What's going on?" wondered Rainbow Dash.

Rainbow Dash focused her vision on the small, quickly falling yellow object. It looked almost like..

"FLUTTERSHY!" yelled Rainbow Dash.

Rainbow Dash rocketed off her cloud at lightning speed, breaking the sound barrier in less than a matter of seconds. Fluttershy was just a few small feet from the cold, hard ground.

"I can save her! I just have to fly faster!" said Rainbow Dash, even though she knew she would be too late.

Rainbow Dash flew faster then she had ever flown before. She broke the color barrier, resulting in a Sonic Rainboom. Fluttershy was mere inches away from the ground, and Rainbow Dash was millimeters behind.

"Please... I'm so close to saving her..." said Rainbow Dash.

A sickening crunch of flesh and bone was heard as the pink-maned pegasus hit the ground, splattering blood and guts everywhere. Rainbow Dash tried to slow down, but she crashed into the ground at an even quicker velocity than Fluttershy.

"This is all my fault... I- I'm a horrible pony..." said Twilight.

She curled up in her treehouse and cried.
