Rainbow Dash is the top flier of Equestria and the best of the best on the Ponyville weather team. But after sleeping through most of her classes, she's ill-prepared to deal with one of the most violent storms in all of Equestrian history. Lightning crashes and wind throws debris about like deadly arrows. When a loose board strikes Rainbow Dash in mid flight, the mare crashes into one of the deepest, unexplored areas of the Everfree Forest, and must use whatever she has on hoof to survive.

The one to see her fall is Applejack, who despite others wishes to wait until the storm passes, decides to pursue Rainbow Dash in hopes that she can bring her home alive.

This is the story of an Apple Mare, who risked it all to bring back the pony she loves. To take a chance, to push on, to take a Leap of Faith.
