Someday, or Maybe Tomorrow?

Author's note: I have a quick question. Does Lightning act manly enough? I'm a girl so I was afraid that I was writing him to be too feminine. BTW, did anyone notice that this was the first time someone showed up and Rainbow didn't have a dream/thought about them?

Panic raced through the room. Ponies ran around, not sure what to do. Nurses ushered ponies out of the doors. Doctors wheeled Rainbow Dash into the Emergency Room. Her parents cried in the corner, Fluttershy was being dragged out of the room after she fainted from all of the commotion. Golden Miracle, still crying, was shoved into Lightning's hooves.

As Rainbow Dash was wheeled out of the room, Lightning saw her face. Everything went in slow motion, and he saw confusion and panic cross her eyes. Her eyes whipped around the room like she didn't recognize it. She was drooling a little and was trying to speak, but I came out like gibberish. She fell unconscious right before she passed the door frame.

Right when he gets her back, he has to lose her again. Lightning walked into the lobby and paced with Golden Miracle for what felt like hours, until she stopped crying. He smiled down at the baby, but then remembered what was happening. He looked back through the door to the hallway Rainbow was in and saw her being wheeled back to her room to be allowed to regain consciousness. As he waited for the nurse to come back and tell him the news, he spotted Caramel sitting in a chair, and sat down next to him with conflicting emotions.

"This is your fault." Lightning whispered. That's all he said, but it meant so much more. It cut into Caramel like a knife.

"You can't tell me that kiss meant nothing to you." Caramel replied.

"That's why? You came here to talk to me about a kiss? One that you forced on me, by the way." Lightning's anger overcame the feeling of sadness that were warring inside of him. "You expect me to love you when you broke Rainbow's heart. I will never love you."
I will never love you. Never love you. Never. That was all Caramel could hear. He felt so hurt, like no other pain could compare. Then he remembered how he made Rainbow feel, what she said to him. "It felt like a knife stabbing me in the heart. Stabbing and twisting. I loved you, and you betrayed me." That felt ten times worse.

"You know I left him... For you." Caramel said, hurt.

"Well too bad. You deserve to be forever alone, after what you did to us. You ruined our family." Lightning whispered. It was a low sound, but to Caramel, it felt like he was being screamed at.

"I didn't ruin your family. The baby's mine. It's my family. You are just an outsider." Caramel used every jab he could think of.

"Your baby? Look again." Lightning moved the blanket to show Golden Miracle's beautiful gold and black hair. "Recognize that hair from somewhere?"

"W-what? T-that's not possible! How can it be yours? I had sex with her that night." Caramel said. "Now... I'm the outsider."

Lightning just stared at him. How could a pony be this stupid? But Caramel took it another way. He grabbed Lightning's face and kissed him, trying to force his tongue in. Lightning squirmed and tried to push him away. Lightning finally pried Caramel off of him. He wiped his mouth.

"Caramel, I think you should go." He finally said.

"But-" Caramel started.

"GO!" Lightning shouted, not bothering to keep quiet. Anyone who wasn't looking when Caramel kissed him turned to stare now. Caramel wiped away tears as he got up from the chair.

"Even though you don't love me..." Caramel paused and turned to face Lightning. "I love you." He turned to go, and walked out into the pouring rain, his tears mixing with the raindrops.

What both ponies didn't know, was that Rainbow was watching the whole scene from a T.V in her room. As the drug took effect, Rainbow woke up to find the T.V was switched to the security camera channel. Rainbow still felt to weak to lift her hooves so she just watched. She saw everything, and she wasn't happy about it.

"She had a stroke caused by a aneurism in the brain. We are going to clip it tomorrow. You can go see her now. She requested that only you and Golden Miracle can go in there with her." The nurse said to Lightning.

"Okay. Thank you." Lightning gave a small smile as he flew back to the room, Golden Miracle in his forelegs. He expected to see his fiance smiling and waiting to hug and kiss him, but that wasn't what he saw.

"Why'd you do it?" You could see steam rising from Rainbow's red face as she talked, and her powerful venom filled voice were turned against Lightning Bolt, the love of her life. Lightning was taken aback.

"Y-you saw?" Lightning managed to stutter. Even though Rainbow was harmless now, she could kick his ass any time she wanted to.

"I thought you said you would never hurt me." Her voice now sported a hint of sadness.

"Rainbow, you need to trust me when I tell you the story. You need to hear me out." Lightning warned. "Promise you'll hear me out."

Rainbow had started to cry by that point. Her voice resembled a little filly's when she said, "I promise."

"After I proposed to you, I went to Gemstones to get the ring. When I got there, Caramel was working there. We got into an argument and I ended up jumping over the counter and tackling him." Lightning paused before he continued. "He... took it the wrong way and kissed me. I pushed him off, paid for the ring, and left. Today he said he came here to discuss the kiss. When he found out the baby wasn't his, he started babbling like a baby. I stared at him and he took it the wrong way. That's when he kissed me. I pushed him off and told him to leave. He said he left Big Mac for me."

"He's trying to ruin our lives!" Rainbow said. She was fed up now. "This is the last straw. I need to end this once and for all."
