Dreams And Pies

Toriel layed Rainbow down on the bed before her. She sighed at the sight of the poor filly, she passed out a few minutes ago from blood loss. She needs to get started healing her or she may not make it. Gently rolling Rainbow on her side, she raised her paws and got to work on the wound.

Rainbow Dash was dreaming.

The dream begin with her in a crystal castle. Rainbow looked up, some of the crystals stretched far above her head all the way to the ceiling. The scenery was beautiful but yet Rainbow felt worried. She didn't know why though.

She looked down and noticed a blue, rainbow maned pegasus around 18-20 years of age walking down the corridor. Rainbow was very confused, the pegasus looked exactly like her, only older. Rainbow flew over to the blue pony and started waving her hoof in front of their face.

Hey what's the big deal, why do you look like me? Hey I’m talking to you! Hello! The blue pony seems to not be able to see or hear her.

This sucks. Rainbow sighed

Time sped up until they found themselves standing outside a very large door. The rainbow maned duplicate pushed open the door and walked in. In the middle of the room was a table with a strange map on it and around it was six chairs and one smaller one. Each one except for the smaller one had a cutie mark on it, one even had hers on it giving her the impression that she was part of this somehow.

Sitting at the head chair was a purple pony, their face was blurred out so Rainbow coun’t see who it was. Not that she would actually know who it was, she couldn't remember anything.

So was so distracted by the scenery that she didn't notice that they started talking until the end of the conversation.

“You need to get some sleep Rainbow, seeing things are not normal. You haven't been sleeping well as of late, go to bed and get some rest.” The purple pony said.

“But I’m not seeing things ________! I’ve actually touched one of them!” Older Rainbow protested “These things actually happened! Oh Celestia, why did I think you'd actually believe me?”

And with that the pegasus ran out of the room. Rainbow was dragged out of the room with her, she could hear the purple pony yelling at Rainbow to stop but it only fell to deaf ears.

Everything went black.

Rainbow woke with a start. She looked around the room before sighing, It was only a dream. But if it was a dream, why does she feel so betrayed?

Rainbow shook her head before noticing that her pain was gone. She reached up and felt her head, there was a bandage around it. Toriel must has taken care of it well she was asleep. She also noticed that she was in a very soft bed, she pushed the blankets off her before crawling out of the bed and onto the floor.

She once more looked around the room, it was fairly clean with some toys and a box of shoes at the edge of the bed. There was also a closet with a bunch if different colored sweaters in it, She would like to wear one but that wouldn't be right to wear someone else's clothes.

She looked toward the large door, she jumped until she was able to grab hold of the doorknob. She was able to open the door. Once the job of opening the door was complete she looked down the hallway, one end of the hall lead to a few other rooms and the other lead to...somewhere.

Somewhere sounded more interesting so she headed down the hall. She came across some stairs but she ignored them and continued on. Rainbow entered a room with a large chair and a table in it. There was also a fireplace, she watched the flames flicker back and forth for a bit before she noticed the smell of something baking. It smelled so good.

She followed the sent until she found herself in a kitchen. Toriel was standing at the counter humming. Rainbow walked over to the goat monster and gently tugged her robe getting her attention. Toriel looked down at the filly with a smile.

“Hello my child, It seems your awake. When you passed out I was worried but I hope you had a good rest. Would you like some pie?” Rainbow nodded eagerly as they made there way back to the living room. Torel set the gigantic pie down on the table.

The pegasus grunted as she tried to get up on the chair so she could eat the pie. But she fell off and landed on her behind with a pout. Why did everything here have to be so big?

Torel giggled at the sight of the pouting filly and picked her up before setting her down on the chair. She grabbed the knife and cut into the pie, Rainbow’s tongue hung out of her mouth when she smelled it.

Toriel put the pie on a plate and set it in front of Rainbow.

“There you go, little one. Enjoy!” And with that the filly dug into the piece of pie with enthusiasm.
“Have you remembered anything yet?” Toriel asked holding her paws together.

Rainbow swallowed a bite before answering, “No, I’m sorry.”

“That's okay you don’t need to apologize. You hit your head really hard so your memory may take awhile to return. Or if at all.” She added the last part under her breath, lucky Rainbow did not hear.

“What really need to worry about right now is giving you a bath.”

Rainbow’s eyes widened and looked down at herself.

“Your a mess.” She giggled picking Rainbow up and heading toward the bathroom. She set the filly on the ground and and got down on her knees in front of the tub and started up the water. Once the water was warm enough she signaled for Rainbow to get in.

The pegasus sighed.
