Chapter One

"You are the most awesome pony ever.

You can do the sonic rainboom.

You are the fastest flier in Equestria.

The news comes as a shock to everypony."

She is doing tricks and showing off your skills. The ponies whoop and cheer for her. She jerks toward the right and suddenly, she's falling. Everypony gasps as she crash lands and goes unconscious. Somepony instantly calls the hospital and she slowly wakes up. She suddenly finds herself being escorted through a building. Her head is throbbing and she grows unconscious again.

"Rainbow Dash?" she hears somepony say.

Who's Rainbow Dash? she thinks. She slowly opens her eyes. She sees five mares in front of her, all with worried looks.

"Are you okay?" asks a purple alicorn.

"Who are you?" she asks, rubbing her head. The five ponies look at each other with worried looks. A doctor is standing in the corner of the room.

"What is your name?" the purple one asks again.

"I... my name?" she asks. The doctor in the corner sighs and walks over.

"What color is the sky?" he asks.

"Blue." she answers.

"What color is the rainbow?"

"Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple."

"What color is your coat?"

She looks down and answers.

"Sky blue."

"What is this pony's name?" The doctor points to an orange, yellow mane earth pony.

"I don't know." The doctor sighs and turns to the other five mares.

"I hate to break it to you guys, but I think she has amnesia." The five ponies gasp and she sits up.

Amnesia...

"Does that mean like a loss of memory or something?" she asks. The doctor nods.

"At least she can remember simple things." She gets off the bed and walks over to the purple alicorn.

"Are you a princess?" she asks, and the alicorn nods.

"Do you really not remember yourself?" the alicorn asks. She walks over and stares at a mirror. A stranger stares back.

"This is… what I look like?" she asks and turns towards the doctor.

"Yes." he says. She puts a hoof to the glass and continues staring.

"At least it isn't as bad. It could be worse. Imagine having to learn how to read, write, communicate, and walk again." She shudders at the thought of starting your life all over again.

"So what's going to happen?" the yellow pegasus squeaks. She is obviously scared for her life.

"Is she never going to remember us or what we did in the past?" the alicorn asks.

"It is uncertain. It is a fifty-fifty chance she will not remember." The yellow pegasus buries her face into a pink earth pony's shoulder.

"I want the Rainbow Dash we knew back." she hears her say. A white unicorn rests her head on the side of the bed. The purple alicorn sighs.

"We might have to introduce ourselves again." she says. "I'm Twilight Sparkle."

"Applejack." the orange earth pony says with a country accent.

"Pinkie Pie." says the pink one, trying to sound cheerful.

"Rarity." the white unicorn says.

"F-Fluttersh-shy." says the yellow pegasus. She seemed really upset. She walks over and stroke her soft, pink mane. Fluttershy looks up and she smiles.

"Please let her remember." she hears the pony that calls herself Twilight Sparkle says.

"Alright. I'm afraid visiting time is over. You can come back tomorrow." the doctor says and trots out of the room.

"Bye." the five ponies say and walk out the door. She looks down.

It feels so lonely here. I feel like... a hollow shell. A tear rolls down her cheek. A sudden memory comes to mind. She tries to grasp it, but it's suddenly gone.

"Who... was I?" she asks herself.

Chapter Two

"Be kind, be loyal, be honest, be generous

Share laughter, share friendship

And I will all work out in the end"

A week later

"Rainbow Dash?" Nurse Redheart comes in. She turns towards her and put down the book she's reading.

"Yes?" she says, getting up.

"I have gotten news that you can leave the hospital now. But be careful. Your left wing is still healing."

"Ok." She follows Redheart to the exit. Her five friends are there.

"Hi." Twilight Sparkle says.

"Hi." She whispers something to Applejack. Twilight motions for her to follow her. She follows the other four ponies close behind. Applejack walks up to Twilight and hears her whisper in her ear,

"Is she ready for this?"

"She's been in the hospital for a week and everypony knows she has amnesia." Applejack nods.

"This is Ponyville." Twilight says as they reached the outskirts of the town. She recoils slightly at the bright colors and happy ponies. She suddenly remembers something. Didn't Ponyville look... more colorful and happy before she crashed?

"Hey, Scootaloo!" Pinkie Pie says, waving at an orange pegasus filly.

"Rainbow Dash! You're okay!" she cries and jumps off her scooter right onto you.

"Who-"

"Scootaloo. She has amnesia. She has no idea who you are."

"No she doesn't! Rainbow Dash! Do you know me?" She shakes your head and pushes the little filly off of you.

"What? But you have to remember! You can still do a Sonic Rainboom, right? I'm your adopted sister! I'm your number one fan! I'm the head of your-"

"Scootaloo. Enough. Go away." Twilight says in a deadly tone. Scootaloo nods and hops onto her scooter again, very unhappy.

"Sorey about that." Rarity said, flicking a piece of lint off her hoof.

"It's fine."

"No it is not!" Twilight cries.

"Well, she might as well stay with you until she can fly again." Applejack points to her broken wing.

"Right. Come." Twilight begins to trot away. She hesitates. She's known these five for only a week. Should she trust them? But then again, she had no idea where her home was. And that pony was a princess. She began following her when suddenly, a cyan, yellow mane pegasus jumps in front of you.

"FINALLY! I found you, Rainbow Dash! I-"

"LIGHTNING DUST!!!" Twilight screams in her ear. The pegasus jumps back and growls.

"Leave her alone. She had amnesia and CANNOT fly right now!" Twilight shouts.

"Ha! So I win! She has amnesia! So now I can take her place in the Wonderbolts cause she has NO IDEA who they are!"

The Wonderbolts?

"Oh. Them. I remember them." she says coldly.

"And I think I remember when you tried to get me kicked out."

"Crap." the pony, Lightning Dust, flies away as fast as she can.

"So you remember?"

"Oh yes I do."

"So your amnesia is just temporary. Thank goodness." She smiles and she continues to follow Twilight to her castle.

"Woah. It's big." she says as you both arrive in front of the big crystal building.

"It's nothing compared to Canterlot." Twilight giggles and opens the door for you. She steps inside and sees how big the palace really was on the inside.

"You could get lost in here." she says.

"I know, right? I've had this for years now and I still get lost!"

"Hey, Twilight!" a purple unicorn comes out from inside a room.

"Hey, Starlight Glimmer!" Twilight trots over and hugs the pony, who's name was Starlight Glimmer.

"Oh! There's Rainbow Dash. I hope she'll get her memory back." Starlight says. She is too busy looking around to notice the baby dragon running over. You take a step forward and trip on him.

"Oh! Sorry!" the little dragon says.

"Spike! Watch it!" Twilight says.

"I just got a letter from Celestia!"

"Really? Wonderful! But what is it about? I never sent her anything."

"It's about... Rainbow Dash."

"Oh." Twilight takes the scroll from Spike and reads it.

"Oh my goodness..."

"What?" Spike asks.

"I have to go to Canterlot. It's about Rainbow Dash. And it isn't good."

Chapter Three

"Use your fear. Don't let it control you."

The next day

It felt so weird to be in a stranger's home. Even if that stranger was a princess. It just felt wrong to be there. She never wanted to be here. She wanted to be dead. She wanted to feel the wind. She wanted the sound of wind to be the last thing she heard. But she couldn't do that. Why? Twilight wouldn't let her. She couldn't fly anyway.

Somepony knocked on the door.

"Rainbow? Somepony wants to see you." Spike said.

"Tell them to go away."

"They said it's very urgent and requested to see you in private."

"...
Fine." She stood up and walked over, opening the door.

"Follow me." Spike said.

"Oh goodness! This is bad! What're we going to do?" a white, rainbow maned alicorn cried.

"I know this is hard, Rainbowrio. It's hard for all of us. But we might be able to-" a galaxy colored pegasus started, but was interrupted by Rainbowrio.

"Might? MIGHT?!?! Unix! You don't get it! WE NEED OUR MANAGER BACK! NOW!!!" The pegasus flinched at the volume of Rio's voice.

"Well, as soon as her wings are healed, we can bring her to the factory ASAP. We can fix her there. Besides, we've done that operation millions of times!" Unix said, slamming her left hoof down on the table in front of them.

"Yes. But there's one problem: who's the manager?"

"Isn't it Ms. D-"

"You don't get it."

"What is your point, then?" Rainbowrio clenched her teeth and slammed both hooves on the table.

"My point is, WHO'S GOING TO BE THE MANAGER WHILE SHE'S BEING FIXED???"

"Oh. Well, you're the second highest ranked pony in the factory behind Ms. Dash so it could be you."

"Oh my CELESTIA. Why did they hire a dumb pony like you again?"

"What?"

"THAT ISN'T HOW WE GET FUCKING MANAGERS!!!" Someone knocked on the door.

"You said you wanted Rainbow Dash here?" Spike said.

"Yes, yes. Let her in." Rainbowrio said, sitting back down in her chair. Spike opened the door and allowed her to go in. As soon as she was in the room, Spike slammed the door closed and ran towards the library. Unix leaned over toward Rainbowrio.

"What're we supposed to tell her?" she asked.

"The truth. Rainbow Dash. You may not remember this, but you were the manager of a factory. The Rainbow Factory. Can you remember that?" She shook her head.

"I thought so. Maybe little details will help you remember." Rainbowrio slid a folder across the table. She opened it up and looked at some of the papers.

"What...?"

"Yes. These are the files on you. Who you are supposed to be. Where you work. Where you live. Can you remember?" She looked up.

"I'm... Rainbow Dash. I am a pegasus. I can do the legendary Sonic Rainboom..."

"Yes."

"I work at the Rainbow Factory... and... I am a killer..."

Author's Note

I'm sorry this chapter took so long. But I have to handle school, homework, update my YouTube channel, and work on other storied that aren't on FimFiction. Look, life isn't just writing stories about pastel ponies and stuff so I have to handle my life first. I hope you all understand that and will let me take my time on each chapter. Please don't rush me, I'm trying my best here. And I HAD to add some Rainbow Factory in here just because I'm an asshole.
Now, if this chapter isn't good, I'll take suggestions just because this was kinda rushed.
(And I said I wouldn't rush XD)

Chapter Four

"But HOW?!" Rainbow Dash cried. "Why do we need to do this just for the production of rainbows?!" Rainbowrio sighed.

"Unix. After this, take her to the Rainbow Factory. Do all you can to get this MINDLESS BITCH to remember EVERYTHING AT THE RAINBOW FACTORY AGAIN." Unix nodded and a screen appeared in front of her. She slid and tapped things around. She pressed one last button before it went away.

"I already have it scheduled." Unix said. She opened up a file and looked through it while Rainbowrio continued to talk to Rainbow Dash.

"Look. We need to do it. All those pegasi deserve to die. They are useless. They failed that easy Celestia damned test."

And the flight test will be in a few days. Your little sister Scootaloo will be there.

"And you better be there. I'll explain later. Do you remember that filly Scootaloo come up to you?"

"Um.... yeah."

"She's your adopted sister." Rainbowrio slid a photo of Dash and Scoots together. That triggered a memory. They are sisters.

"I have to be at her flight test. I Cloudsdale, right?"

"Yes. And I'll lead you there."

"Thank you."

"Well, we need you to go to the Rainbow Factory for now. We need to do something about you."

"Not kill me, right?"

"No. You were the manager there! We need you back! The RF is already starting to slowly fall apart! Unix. Get her there now."

"Ok." Unix tied Rainbow Dash up and lifted her onto her back.

"Now you can't escape. This is very necessary, we don't want you escaping." Unix said. She opened the doors and dashed out of the castle, towards the Rainbow Factory.

"Now I have to tell Scootaloo Rainbow Dash can remember her now." Rainbowrio said. She teleported to the Cutie Mark Crusaders Clubhouse and knocked.

"I'll get it!" a voice rang out.

"No I will!" another shouted.

"Hey! Let me get it!" Rainbowrio giggled as the three ponies inside continued fighting over who would open the door. Finally, the door opened up.

"Hey, Scootaloo! I have great news!"

"Really? What is it?" Scootaloo said, hovering about a foot off the ground.

"Rainbow Dash remembers you."

"WOW!!!" Scootaloo squealed.

"I'm not sure about your other friends though. Also, your flight test is in a few days."

"I can't wait! Rainbow Dash will be there, right?"

"Yes..." Rainbowrio bit her lip to hold back a creepy grin.

"Well, I gotta go. Rainbows don't make themselves!" Rio took off and Scootaloo did a loop in the air.

"She finally remembers me! SHE FINALLY REMEMBERS ME!!!" Scootaloo squealed in excitement.

"What are you doing?" Rainbow Dash asked Unix as she pressed a few buttons and strapped Rainbow onto a table.

"Don't worry. We just need to run a few... tests." Unix said. She poked Rainbow's wing and she shifted uncomfortably. Unix opened up her screen again and hit a button that looked slightly red against the blue screen. A needle moved out from hiding under the table and jabbed itself onto the blue pegasus's shoulder and injected the liquid.

"OW!" Rainbow screamed. "The heck are you doing?!?!"

"This is all part of it. Just don't scream or the pain will feel worse." Rainbow Dash winced as Unix poked the spot where the needle had injected the liquid. Unix clicked something on the screen and trotted over to a small control pad slightly hidden in the shadows. Rainbow Dash tried to pull on the clasps, but the liquid had weakened her.

"This part is going to be risky." Unix pressed a button and looked away. Rainbow Dash saw something in the corner of her eye and a major headache crawled its way into her head. Rainbow Dash tried not to scream, but the pain was unbearable.

"Go ahead. You'll just make the pain worse." Unix said, giving the rainbow pegasus a wicked grin.

"Please... make it stop..." Rainbow Dash whimpered before passing out. Unix pressed another button and the item was taken away.

"This might take a while, but she'll remember soon. Now I gotta wait until she wakes up..."

Author's Note

Sorry for the short chapters, but I write this in class and barely at home.
I hope I don't get in trouble. Luckily, no one has caught me...
Yet.

Chapter Six

As Rainbow Dash walked around Ponyville, she got many greetings from strange ponies. Somepony walked over to ask what was wrong, but she just pushed away the pony and said "I'm fine."

Of course, she wasn't. Being around so many ponies who knew her but she didn't know made her feel bad.

That pony was only trying to help... Why did I push her away...? she thought. She crashed into somepony and looked up.

"I-I'm sorry..." she said without looking up and went around them. The pony looked at her. She clearly had forgotten Rainbow Dash had amnesia. She wondered why Rainbow was acting like that then remembered. She shamefully looked down, ashamed of forgetting something so important and she quickly ran back home. Rainbow Dash turned around and noticed her run away and wondered why.

I hope it wasn't something I did. she thought and turned back around. Somepony else came over and this time, Rainbow Dash accepted her help.

"How have you been?" she asked, looking at Dash.
"It's kind of weird. It's like you feel like you belong here, but at the same times it doesn't."
"I know that feeling. I use to have amnesia too. It was also permanent. It was extremly diffcult for my friends, family, and boyfriend."
"I can't imagine how hard it must've been. But from what I can remember, mine isn't permanent."
"You're lucky. Most ponies I know who have gotten amnesia before commonly get permanent."
"Ouch."
"Well, my name's Nightsky Wind. And you're Rainbow Dash, right? Oh yeah. That's one of the bad side affects. Your memory gets kinda bad afterwards."
Oh. And yes, I am."
"Cool! Also, do you still remember how to fly or...?"
"My sister told me not to fly until I'm better. A wing injury sometimes may never heal is what she told me."
"Oh, it's true. One of my friends tried to fly while he still had amnesia, though it was temporary, he refused to have assistance back to Cloudsdale and he ended up breaking both of his wings."
"That's gotta suck."
"Yep. And it was so bad, the damage was permanent."
"That's sad."
"Yeah. Nowadays he sometimes gets bullied, just like Scootaloo, about how he can't fly."
Nightsky Wind looked over at Dash and noticed a cart headed towards their way at full speed.

"Watch out!" she shreiked. She pushed Rainbow Dash out of the way and though it still barely hit her back right hoof, Night took most of the damage.

"Night!" Rainbow cried. She ran over to the pegasus and looked at the cart. She carefully moved Nightsky out from under the cart and the owner of the cart came rushing over.

"Oh my goodness! Are you two alright?" the unicorn mare shrieked. Rainbow took one look at Night and she slowly and cautiosly moved te pegasus onto her back before running to the hospital.

"I NEED HELP!" Rainbow Dash yelled. Immideatly, three doctors and nurses rushed over and looked at Nightsky.

"Get her an X-ray now! It looks like a few bones are broken!" one of the doctors shouted. They immideatly took Night away and Rainbow Dash turned towards one of the doctors.

"Is she going to be okay?" she asked him.
"It depends on how serious the damage is. Are you alright?" he said. He looked at the scratch on Dash's hoof.

"Yes. I'm fine. I'm just concerned about Night."
"Nightsky Wind? That was her?"
"Yes. Why?"
"She's one of my friends!"
"Oh..."
"I hope she's okay. I should go see. For now, I'll have someone help you when you're out there. If Night wasn't there for you, that would be you there. A unicorn named Sunshine Candy already agreed to help with any patients so she mght actually be able to help you from what we know about her."
The doc turned to a nearby nurse and told her she could get Sunshine. The nurse nodded and carefully teleported away.
"Well, since Night is hurt, I better check now. You stay here amd wait for Sunshine. And I'll tell you the news about Night after I get the results. Sound good?"

Rainbow Dash nodded and sat down on a nearby waiting chair as the doc rushed away.
Let her be okay... Dash thought as she waited patiently for the nurse to get Sunshine Candy.

Author's Note

I'm sorry this chapter took so long to write, but with Covid-19 out there, life has just been really busy, you know? Also, I've been on Discord a LOT latley and writing down other storie on paper (because I have nothing else to do after my phone locks) so I've been a bit more busy with other social media. I also started a new Instagram page so if you want my Discord and/or Instagram, go ahead and ask in the comments or comment on my latest blog posts.

The next chapter could possibly take even longer with all the chaos going on. No, no one in my family that I'm aware of has the Corona. But this may be put on hold again. Also, yes, I have been trying to get on fimfiction, but because life hates me my phone wouldn't let me a couple of times. For now, wait for the next chapter and a new horror story I'm working on (lol sorry, blame my head for this) and it will be released to the public as WIP.
And this chapter may seem like not a lot, but trust me, it is when your in my life.
And also, the time I'm publishing this is literally 2:07 AM my time.

Chapter Five

"UNIX!" Rainbowrio called, trotting through the hallways.

"Yeah?" Unix popped her head outside the door.

"You got her?"
"Still unconscious."
"How long did you hold it in front of her?"
"Um..."
"Until she passed out?"
"Yeah..."
"How exactly was a dumbass like you ever hired again?"

They both heard a groan inside the room. Rainbowrio pushed Unix aside and walked in.

"You okay?"
"My head... it huuuuurts..."
"Unix..."
"I'm sorry."
"Looks, we're WAY beyond sorry. This is my flippin sister here!"
"Your WHAT?"
"Okay, is Pinkie Pie the only other pony who can break the fourth wall?"
"What is the fourth wall?"
"Never mind."
"What are you guys talking about?"
"Ah, nothing. Just talking about how STUPID THIS IDIOT IS."
"Who?"
"This mare right NEXT TO ME."
Silence.

"Unix. Get out. I think you have a meeting to attend to around this time."
"Oh. Yeah. Good luck with your sky blue friend here."
"Just get out."

Two hours later, Rainbow Dash was finally released.

"I recommend you don't fly. That headache can cost you a lifetime of no flying. I'll help you down to the ground." Rainbowrio said.

"Thanks." Rainbow said, grabbing one of Rainbowrio's hooves to balance herself. Rainbowrio walked Rainbow Dash to the exit of the factory, making sure to avoid all the rooms and hallways that were restricted to tourists. She helped her sister to the ground, making sure not to drop her.

"Thanks." Rainbow Dash said again.

"Hey, anything to help my sister diagnosed with amnesia."
"Sis...ter?"
"Yeah. In time, your memory will come back. So I don't exactly want to deal with explaining everything right now. Unless if the doctors tell me you have almost permanent amnesia."
Ooooh, permanent amnesia would SUCK.
"Hopefully." Rainbow Dash sighed.

Author's Note

W R I T E R S B L O C K S U C K S.
Yes, I have writer's block. AGAIN. Mostly for this chapter so have fun reading this dumb, about 291 word chapter for now.
At least school is boring enough for me to possibly come up with more ideas.

Great news! This is being updated! Next chapter coming out soon!
