The Blue Screen of Dash

Rainbow Dash was bored, very bored. All her friends were on a friendship quest and she had to clean up her cloud house. She slid onto her bed, rolling because of boredom. Abruptly, a thought came into her mind, a rough thought but nonetheless a thought. She just happens to have a computer around.

Crashing down onto the floor, Dash sluggishly got up on all fours and walked all the way to the computer, just in front of her. There on she turned it on, pressing the big on/off switch. The computer slowly but eventually booted into Windows 10, the latest version of Microsoft's operating system. Dash put in her password, and slowly navigated around the desktop using a clunky mouse.

There on she started to play some games, most notably Geometry Dash, a rhythm based game. Upon opening the level Plasma Pulse Finale, she noticed something strange. The objects weren't loading in properly and the monitor had major screen tearing issues. Her PC fans started to run at max, and was easily heard. All of a sudden, a blue screen appeared.

'Oh no,' she thought to herself in distress, 'What is this?'

Seconds turned into minutes. She had her phone though, maybe she could use that for the time being to search up some ways to fix the blue screen that has apparently hit her computer. Tapping her phone with her wings, she slowly started to search up on Google what happened. What it said was to restart the computer.

Dash walked up to the computer, hesitating for a bit. Should she do it? A quick swipe of her hoof rebooted the computer, but upon startup, she had an automatic repair screen. Great, now she would figure out how to get that fixed. Maybe she would need some assistance, some assistance from an egghead and nerd, Twilight Sparkle. Then she realised that Twilight was on a friendship quest, and so she couldn't help.

Breathing out, Dash started to think for herself, she had to find out how to fix the BSoD. The first thing that came to her mind was to reinstall Windows, not a great solution but has a success rate of 100%. Only problem is that she couldn't make a USB with the Windows installation because her computer was dead.

Now she could only really find another way that could work, could, not will. One of the ways was to fix it, not by reinstalling Windows, but to wipe it. A click here and there and she got to the recover screen, after rebooting of course. She chose the restore option, and chose to keep her data. Only problem, it didn't work. It just gave her an error, no code nor useful information.

'Dammit,' Dash cried in distress, very stressed about her computer situation.

There was barely anything she could do now. She was no computer expert, so she didn't know how to fix it via a command line, nor she was able to call anyone. She now had nothing to do, nothing except to fix the darn computer. She was mad, really mad at the computer. She didn't know anything about the difference between hardware and software, and so she flew near the ceiling and dashed at the computer itself, hoof first.

It crashed into pieces. It broke. Dash noticed it as soon she opened her eyes. Now there was no chance of revival, none. She cried, sobbing with barely any tears. She then made a little mental note, and that was to not think too fast, and to think things through. She now had no computer.
