Rainbow dash was lying down on top of a cloud, watching Scootaloo play ball with her friends, and enjoying the warmth that the sun was giving her.
“Such a beautiful day,” she said to herself, looking very proud of the skies that she had cleared.
“YEAHHHHHH!” Rainbow looked in the direction of the yell, it was down in a canyon.
“Hmmmm, wouldn't hurt to investigate,” Rainbow said, jumping off the cloud and deciding to stretch her hooves by walking to the loud noise.
“Stop messing about, we have to practice! Oh, fine, yeah, just do your own thing,” said a white pegasus with a messy red mane with a streak of yellow.
“Blaze, we need another cloud pillar, where is it?” he asked looking at a purple unicorn who was surrounded by messy books.
“Get Jet to help, I can’t do this all on my own!” Blaze snapped, pointing at Jet, who was a strong looking Pegasus stallion. He was grey with a very sharp cut mane, which was violet and indigo.
“LOOK OUT!” yelled a dark grey stallion with a red mane, which had very sharp spikes at the back and a streak of white going through it.
“BLAZE MOVE!” yelled the white pegasus, pointing at Blaze, who looked up just in time to see a pegasus crash into him, putting all the books out of place and moving everything.
“Twister, what the hay? This will take ages to fix!” complained Blaze, staring daggers at the intruder.
“Swift, I can’t work like this. It will take forever for me to fix all of this,” Blaze said walking towards the white pony, named Swift.
“Hey,” interrupted Dash. “Hope I'm not interrupting, but I heard you practicing, and thought I would see who you were. I don't recognise you, are you from around here?”.
“Yes, you are inter-” Swift began but was cut off by Twister. “No, we are new here. We came from Cloudsdale, but moved because we lost a team member.”
“Oh, sorry, I didn't know. What do you mean team?” Rainbow asked curiously.
“We are a stunt team, foalishly competing with the Wonderbolts,” replied Twister trying to look dignified after his last remark.
“Hey hey hey! We might not be the best, but we are good competition for them,” Swift said, putting his hoof down defensively.
“Ha ha, yeah, suuuure you are!” said Dash, laughing hysterically, then wiping a tear from her eye.
“What does that mean?” asked Swift, standing over Rainbow, who was now rolling on the floor laughing.
“Ok ok, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, hehe, but how can you (snicker) compete with the (snicker) Wonderbolts HAHAHA” Rainbow tried to hold in her laughing because she saw how annoyed Swift was getting, but failed miserably.
“Gah! Why is she here?” Swift asked, looking at Twister and the others.
“HEY!” She said. “No reason to be rude. Ok I'm done. Well, if you want to compete with the Wonderbolts, you definitely need my help.” Rainbow said, closing her eyes and putting her front hoof on her chest, showing them her amazing mane.
“HA!” Swift started snickering, the team started glaring at him, and Dash opened her eyes and stared at him. “What’s so funny?” she said as he kept snickering.
“You! What can YOU do that’s so special?” Swift challenged, Rainbow looked at him, offended.
“Don't you know that I'm the one and only Rainbow dash, fastest flier in Equestria?”
“If you’re so great, then why aren't you with the Wonderbolts or some other team like that?” Swift said, deliberately jabbing at her mentally.
“It’s not like I haven't been trying, but I just can’t get a chance to show them my stuff,” Dash said, looking at Swift, annoyed at his random aggression.
“Hey, Swift, what was that all about? You’re not normally so aggressive,” Twister said pushing him away from Rainbow.
“Rainbow Dash, right? How about you show us your stuff?” Blaze said pointing at the obstacle course that they made.
“You’re on!” she said poising herself, ready for take off, and shooting into the air leaving a trail of rainbow behind her.
“Swift, come on. What is it?” Twister asked, looking at Swift, who looked frustrated.
“Twister, we don't need her and you know that. And look at how arrogant she is, trying to show us up like that!” Swift said, pointing at her as she was doing the obstacle course extremely quickly.
“Wow, she’s really fast,” Twister said, watching her in awe. Swift just huffed and walked back towards the group.
“How was that?” Rainbow asked landing next to them, trying to catch her breath. She hit Swift on the shoulder in a friendly way, very lightly.
“Ughhhhh” Swift grumbled as he walked away from the group a little bit, before taking off.
“Did I do something?” Rainbow asked, looking at the group in confusion.
“No, he’s just in a bad mood...” Blaze said.
“So, no more practice?” Twister asked looking at Blaze
“I'm afraid not. Swift ain't in the mood anymore,” Blaze said, looking at Twister, seeing the disappointment in Twister’s eyes.
“Oh I know! Pinkie is having a party tonight, that’s a great way for you to make friends! Give me Swift’s address, I’ll pick him up.You guys head to Sugarcube corner,” Rainbow said, looking excited for her friends to meet the newcomers.
“Oh, I have it on a piece of paper,” Blaze said, shoving his nose into his saddlebag and pulling out a slip of paper.
“See you later, Rainbow,” Blaze said watching her fly in the direction of Swift’s house.
“Oi, Swift, get out here! I got something to tell you!” Rainbow yelled, standing at his cloud porch. She knocked on his door three times again.
“What are you doing here?” Swift said from upstairs refusing to move.
“Pinkie is having a party. Everypony is going, including your friends. I thought you might want to go as well!” Rainbow yelled.
"You thought wrong!" yelled Swift.
“But-” Rainbow started, but before she could continue, Swift interrupted.
"Don't you understand ‘get lost’ when you hear it?" Swift snapped
"Fine, be alone!" Rainbow yelled storming off.
“Rainbow, over here!” yelled Blaze to the annoyed looking mare.
“Hey, Blaze,” Rainbow said, looking at the floor with a look of anger painted on her face.
“What’s wrong, was it Swift?” Blaze said, reading her like a book.
“Twister has already gone to take care of him. I ran into him on the way here,” Rainbow said, looking still annoyed, but a little relieved of her anger. Blaze and Rainbow turned around because they heard the sound of suppressed yelling from outside.
“Get in there!” said Twister, pushing Swift through the door. Swift looked just as annoyed as Rainbow.
“OW” Swift snarled angrily
“Just go on” Twister said nudging him forward
“Rainbow, can you come over here for a second?” said Swift, looking at the floor and moving his hoof around the floor awkwardly.
“Yes?” She said, looking at him sternly.
“Well, at least we’re pissed off together,” he said looking up at her.
“No, you’re pissed off alone. I only came over because I expected an apology, and now I'm going to enjoy myself. Goodbye.” He just watched her leave then, turned around to leave but was stopped short by Jetstorm standing in the doorway.
“Swift, we need to talk...” Jetstorm said pulling Swift over to one side.
“Yeah, I had to shoot him down,” said Rainbow, looking at Swift talking to Jet while she was talking to Blaze.
“Well, he needs to learn that he can’t treat anypony like that and expect no consequences. Now you seem to have introduced every one of us to someone but me. Now, I have had my eye on that one over there,” Blaze said pointing at Twilight, who was busy talking to Doctor Whoof and Derpy, who had her head in the bowl of punch.
“Who, Derpy?” asked Rainbow, pointing at the grey Mare, who still had her head in the bowl but had now raised her head, still with the bowl on it.
“No, the lavender one” said Blaze, pointing at her once more.
“Oh, you mean Twilight. Well, she is single, I can tell you that. She loves books and owns the library. She isn’t cool, but still... here, let me introduce you!” Rainbow said, dragging Blaze over.
“Hey, Twi! This is Blaze, he’s new in town and has the hots for you.” After Rainbow said that, she disappeared in a second.
“RAINBOW!” yelled Blaze, turning around, looking for her, but he gave up quickly and turned around to see a wide eyed Twilight.
“Uh... hi” Twilight said, awkwardly looking at Blaze, and for a second there eyes met, and they stayed for longer than most do.
“Is it true? What Rainbow said?” Twilight asked. Blaze’s brain was working at a million miles per hour, trying to find a way out of the mess, but couldn't think of one. He sighed in defeat.
“Yes,” he said. Twilight raise his lowered chin with her hoof.
“In that case, let’s get to know each other, then I will give you an answer,” Twilight said, trying to cheer him up. Her efforts clearly worked, because he was back to his usual energetic self.
“Hey there, who’re you?” asked Applejack, looking at a bleach coloured pony with an orange mane and tail, which were both very cleanly styled.
“Oh, hi! my name is Millie. I manage for a new stunt team here in Ponyville. We just arrived today.” said Millie, looking at Applejack confidently.
“Oh, well Ah can’t help ya out. Ah reckon that Rainbow is th’ one ya wanna talk ta,” said Applejack, pointing at Rainbow.
“Oh, my team has already seen her. I'm the manager, I just make sure that they get where they need to be,” she said, looking confident.
“Lemme introduce ya to th’ rest o’ mah friends,” Applejack said, beckoning Millie to follow. “This is Twilight, an’ here’s Doctor Hooves, an’... uh, why does Derpy have a bowl on her head?” asked Applejack, looking slightly confused.
“She thought she saw a muffin in there,” replied Doctor Hooves. “Hello there, you must be new,” he said looking at Millie.
“Yes I am. Pleasure to meet you,” she said locking eyes with him.
“Shall we go over there? It’s quite crowded and energetic over here,” he suggested, pointing over to an empty corner of the room. As they were leaving, they saw Swift leaving the party. As he went, he saw Rainbow standing outside waiting.
“Oh, Swift. Just the pony I wanted to see. I was wondering if you wanted me to walk you home?” Rainbow said with a smile on her face.
“NO!” Swift firmly answered, walking off. Of course, he had no idea where he was going, but there was no way he was letting her know that. He looked in his saddlebag and saw what he had brought with him. He knew it was stupid to bring stuff that was expensive and meant a lot to him, but he wanted to show off to his new friends. He walked into an alleyway because he thought he recognised it. Although he knew it was a bad idea, he hoped that it would be ok.
“That bag looks expensive,” Came a voice from behind him. As he turned around, his face was met by a lightning fast blow from a hoof. He was knocked to the floor. His cheek was throbbing with pain. He groaned on the floor before standing up, just to be knocked down again, but this time a pony from behind him took his saddlebag.
“HEY! GIVE THAT BACK!” he yelled, running at the pony, who just pushed him, but this time he wasn't taking it. He punched the pony and grabbed the bag. He turned around and tried to run past the other pony, but was just pushed into a dumpster, this time hitting his head and blurring his vision.
“HEY! Leave him alone!” came a voice. In Swift’s current state, he didn't recognise it. After that, he heard the sound of a few nasty punches and the sound of struggling.
“Oi, grab the white one!” yelled the pony that was being beaten up by Rainbow. Swift felt his head being lifted and realised that the other pony had him in a neck hold, and with a simple twist he would be dead. He didn't try to fight back, because his head was hurting so much, and he felt blood running down it.
“Let him go!” Rainbow said impatiently.
“Let him go and I wont chase you!” she said again. At this, he quickly dropped Swift and ran down the alleyway. Rainbow ran to her left and picked up the lid of a bin, and, with one quick movement, threw it hitting, him on the back of the head and knocking him over and probably out. She didn’t know, though, because she kept her word and didn't chase him.
“Swift, are you ok?” Rainbow asked, running over to him. She didn't expect an answer, but to her surprise, he gave one.
“No, my head is really hurting and my vision is blurred.” He tried to stand up, but was shortly stopped by his own weakness.
“Here, let me help,” Rainbow said, putting his hoof around her shoulder, and putting hers over his shoulder. She then helped him up and started walking with him. As they were walking, his hoof was leaning on her mane, and he couldn't help but notice how soft it was, and before he knew it, he was stroking her mane. They stopped walking suddenly.
“What are you doing?” she asked looking at him sternly.
“Oh, um, I... sorry, it was just really soft.” She giggled at him, then turned away, trying to hide her blush.
“I'm winding you up. It’s fine now. Can you fly, because to get up home you can either help me fly, or I can carry you. What do you think?” she asked softly lowering him to the ground in a sitting position.
“I think it’s probably best if you carry me. I feel quite light headed.” She grabbed his forelegs and put them over her shoulder, then firefighter lifted him onto her back and started flying vertically. Not as quickly as normal, due to her current circumstances, but still quicker than he expected.
“Here we are, just wait one second while I get the key...” Rainbow said, fiddling around with a cloud mat.
“Where are we?” Swift asked looking at her surprised.
“Oh, I can’t let you spend the night alone at home. You’re safer back here with me until you feel better, or at least until morning.”
“Oh, um... ok,” Swift said, stroking the back of his head softly.
“Ok, come on, let’s get you inside,” She said, picking him up like she did before, with her hoof over his shoulder and his hoof over her shoulder. They slowly walked in Rainbow turning on the lights. She put him down by her counter, went into the kitchen, and fetched some medical supplies in her mouth, then went back to him and took him into her room. She put him in bed, then grabbed a chair from the other side of the room and dragged it to the bed.
“Ok, I’m certainly no doctor, so excuse my sloppiness,” she said as she took a bandage out of the medical kit. She wrapped the bandages around his head very sloppily. When she was done, she was lost for words, so she got up.
“Uh, Dash, if you don't mind, can you stay? I don't really wanna be alone...” he said sounding desperate. Not intentionally, but it came out that way.
“I thought you hated me?” she said, turning around and looking at him sadly.
“I don't hate you, I’m just sad for the death of our previous team member and I find you extremely cute and don't know what to say to you,” he said. He started blushing and, to try and cover it, he turned over in bed.
“Uh... Swift, I have never had a coltfriend before. I don't know how exactly this kind of thing works. Do you wanna talk about it?” she asked. When she didn’t get a reply, she went back to her seat next to him.
“Hey, it’s ok. I’m here.” she saw a tear in his eye, so she wiped it away for him.
“I’m sorry. I shouldn’t be intruding like this.And for me to say something like that is just unnatural.” he said, looking rather mopey.
“Hey, Swift? I got a crush on you too. I think you’re seriously cool, so maybe we can make this work, huh? Wanna give it a go?” Rainbow said, reaching a hoof out for him to take.
“Yeah. I would like that a lot,” Swift said, drifting off to sleep.
Swift woke up to a stinging headache. He clenched his head with his hoof, then panicked because he had no idea where he was. He looked over and saw Rainbow asleep in the chair from last night snoring very loudly. He extended his hoof and poked her on the shoulder gently, trying to wake her.
“Rainbow, wake up,” he said shaking her gently.
“What is it, Swift? I was up all night talking to you, can’t I sleep for five seconds?”
“We were up talking all night?” he asked confused.
“Yeah, don't you remember? I saved you from those muggers, then we came back here and chatted, then you told me that you have a crush on me, then started crying, so we chatted it out all night. Don't you remember that?” Rainbow asked looking at him. They both exchanged a confused expression.
“I don't remember any of it. Did I really tell you I had a crush on you?” he asked.
“Yeah, you said you wanted to date, so I said that we can give it a go.” she said.
“I, uh... wow, um... I give up,” said Swift, holding his head due to the ache that his brain’s overuse was causing.
“You give up?” asked Dash, confused.
“Well, you kind of annoy me because of your arrogance, but at the same time, I have an undying respect for you, as well as a need to spend time with you. I guess it is a crush.” Rainbow looked at him angrily.
“Wait one second! Are you telling me that you don't want to date me?” Rainbow asked angrily, getting out of her chair.
“No, I'm not. I’m just really bad with mares. I always have been. Although I have an undying care, and am extremely compassionate, I just can’t seem to get one that wants me,” Swift said, openly confessing.
“Well, I want you...” Rainbow said, looking at him with eyes full of hope.
“Hug?” Swift offered.
“Yes, hug,” Dash said, wrapping her forelegs around him.
“For such a tough pony, you’re actually kind of sweet,” Swift said. Before either of them knew it, time had passed and they had been hugging for almost ten minutes.
“Swift, if you’re not bothered about getting up, maybe we can just... you know... snuggle?” Dash asked, releasing her grip and leaning back a little, staring into his blood red eyes.
“Ok, I’m cool with that, but under one condition,” Swift stated very boldly.
“What condition is that?” asked Rainbow, looking at him slightly peeved that he didn’t just say yes.
“You take me down somewhere afterwards and get me bandaged up. You did a terrible job, look how loose it is!” Swift said, prodding the bandage and watching all of it fall off onto the floor.
“Yeah, heh. That is a good idea. I’m sure Fluttershy will do a great job. Now scoot over, you’re taking up half the bed,” Dash said, playfully pushing him to the other side before getting into bed and getting under the covers. She turned around to face Swift, who had his back to her.
“You ok, Swift?”
No answer.
“Swift?”
Still no reply.
“Swift, are you ok?” Dash asked, this time sitting up and leaning over him. His face was pale, his eyes closed. She jumped over him, then turned around to face him, grabbed him by the shoulders, and gave him a gentle shake.
“Oh, horseapples!” Dash said, feeling his chest.
“Good, still a heartbeat. Guess I better take him to Fluttershy now,” Dash said, picking him up and flinging him over her shoulder. Her legs gave way a little due to the extra weight, but she caught herself before she fell over.
“Fluttershy, open up! I need your help!” Rainbow yelled, knocking on the door three times with a loud thud.
“She went out. Can I help?” came a familiar voice. The door opened, revealing Jet Storm.
“Jet, what are you doing here?” Rainbow asked, very confused.
“Oh, I been hanging out with Fluttershy. Um... is that Swift?” he asked, pointing at the limp Pegasus that was dangling off of her back.
“Yeah, he was attacked last night. I ended up saving his sorry flank, he stayed the night with me, but I’m no nurse, so I bought him here,” Rainbow said, moving her hooves around dramatically to emphasise on the key parts of the sentence.
“Oh, I can help. Swift is always getting hurt. I’m used to bandaging him up and tending to him. It’s quite surprising, really, that somepony so tough can get hurt so easily,” Jet said, but decided not to continue with the sentence because he saw the interest leave Rainbow’s eyes.
“Here, come in and put him on the couch, I'll bandage him up” Jet said, beckoning for Rainbow to come inside.
“No, you won’t!” Swift said as he opened his eyes, but instantly cringed. He made no attempt to get off of Rainbow’s back. As a matter of fact, he found it quite comfortable.
“Nope,” Rainbow said, sitting down and making him slide off. “I'm not a mule, you can walk.” He got up and stretched out his wings.
“I’m itching to have a fly, but my body and brain are telling me not to. Heh, I guess I’ll give it a skip this time,” he said, shrugging his shoulders.
“Well, you fainted just now, so I think you should let Jet patch you up, for your own sake,” Rainbow said, but as she did, Swift had turned around and was about to start walking the other way.
“Is he normally this stubborn?” Rainbow said, directing it at Jet, but making sure that Swift heard it.
“I'm not stubborn, I just don't want to be here right now. I wanna do something else,” he said, turning around and looking at her.
“How about a race?” Rainbow said, looking at him with a confident smile.
“Ok, then. You’re on.” As soon as he said that, Rainbow had taken off and was in the air beckoning at him to follow.
“Where are we going?” he said, following her at the casual speed that she was going.
“A vertical race sounds like fun to me, but if you’re up for it, of course. You are up for it, aren't you Swift?” Rainbow started to slow down and turned around to look at him, but to her surprise, he wasn’t there.
“Swift, where are you?”
As she called out, she looked down at a cloud that just moved out of the way, revealing his free falling body.
“SWIFT!” she yelled as she shot down towards him. But he was to far ahead of her and he was falling to quickly.
His limp body regained consciousness, but his wings were clamped shut by his fear and the shock of the fall. His weak body barely managed to move, but it did just enough to whisper, “Help...”
She looked down at him, and, although she couldn't hear him, she knew what he said, and started flying quicker with the burning motivation to catch him.
“Hold on, Swift! I’m coming!” But she knew that her speed wasn’t fast enough to catch him. His body was gaining speed and the ground was getting closer and closer.
“Well, I definitely didn’t think I would go out this way...” he said to himself as he braced for the impact at 100 feet, then 70... 40... 20... 10, and bam.
“What?” Swift said. As he felt the darkness consume him, he was in a black area with a spotlight on him and darkness all around. He tried to walk, but a sudden surge of pain consumed him, stopping him from moving. He looked down at his hind leg to find it snapped like a twig.
“So, what is this? Death?” he called out into the darkness.
“Ha, you wish,” replied a gentle but crackly voice.
“What’s going on? Where am I?” he called out into the darkness once again.
“This is the voice of God, and I demand to know your deepest secrets,” called out the gentle, crackly voice again, but this time he recognized it as Rainbow Dash.
“Wait a second...” As he said that, he disappeared and was replaced by his sight. He felt life rush back into his body, but he was confused. He was leaning against a tree all alone.
“Yeah, I kind of caught you, but in the process your leg hit the ground. It looked painful as anything, but still kinda wicked. Anyway, my speed was too fast, and I ended up throwing you into that tree and crashed myself,” as she said that, Swift looked to where the voice was coming from and saw a tree that had fallen down.
“Yes, it’s on top of me. Can I get some help?” she called out. He tried to get up, but his body threw him to the ground because of the unbearable pain that his leg had endured.
“AHH!” he let out a cry as he felt the bone twist as he hit the ground.
“SWIFT! Are you ok?! Swift, answer me!” Rainbow yelled, trying to move the tree that was more than ten times her size.
“There’s no way that I can get to you, Rainbow. That hurt crazy amounts,” he said, lying on the floor and looking at bone sticking out and destroyed fur and skin around it.
“Why does this tree have to be so hard? I can’t get it off of me!” Rainbow said struggling.
“That's what she said,” Swift replied with a giggle at the end. An awkward silence filled the air.
“Swift, I don't have any parents. Not cool,” Rainbow said, sounding sad.
“Oh wow, really? Neither do I,” Swift said, trying to destroy and bury the awkwardness.
“Really? You don't?” Rainbow asked, sounding genuinely shocked.
“Mine died a while back, so I don't really remember. I raised myself. What about you?” Swift asked, trying to sound comforting.
“Mine died three years ago. I got so depressed that for a few months my mane lost its colour,” said Rainbow with a tear in her eye.
“Don’t worry, Rainbow. I’m coming,” Swift said. He picked himself up. The agony could be seen on his face, but he pushed through the pain and leaned against the tree, pushing it with all his might.
“Swift, I can feel it moving, you’re doing it!” Rainbow said very joyfully. Swift was pushing with all his might, pushing himself to the limit. He leaned back and slammed himself into the tree, knocking it off of Rainbow, who rose quickly and glomped Swift, with all the excitement in the world put into one quick motion. The excitement quickly left as Rainbow started crying.
“It’s ok, Rainbow. I’m here,” Swift said, stroking her mane as she cuddled her head into his chest.
“My dad was always a role model for me, Swift. I admired him with all my heart, and he just walked out.” Rainbow said, occasionally pausing because of her attempt to catch her breath, which was difficult due to the strength of her tears.
“Rainbow, it’s ok. I’m here. Speak all you need, you can trust me.” Swift was trying to calm her down, but she seemed to be letting all of her stress out at once.
“Why, I, and he, but, why?” Rainbow was starting to blubber. Her sentences weren't making sense anymore. Rainbow looked up and into Swift’s eyes, and she was about to start talking again, but was cut off by his lips meeting hers. At first she slightly struggled, but she quickly melted into it.
“Was that timed poorly?” Swift asked, furrowing his brow.
“I needed that,” she said, slowly letting the tears stop. They just sat there for what seemed like a lifetime, but not for them. They were perfectly happy being in each other’s presence.
“Get up,” Rainbow said.
“What?” Swift asked, trying to get up, but being pushed to the ground by the pain of his hind leg.
“Oh, yeah, heheh.” Rainbow bent down and put his front left leg around her neck and raised him off the ground, letting him rest on her more than himself.
“Come on, it’s getting late, and we don't want to be on the outskirts of the Everfree forest when it gets late,” Rainbow had a metaphorical lightbulb appear above her head.
“We’re on the edge of the Everfree forest!” she said with excitement in her voice.
“Well done, Rainbow. You’re so clever,” Swift said sarcastically.
“Shut up! Fluttershy lives on the edge of the forest, we can stay with her.” Rainbow got an approving nod from Swift. After a few minutes of walking, the familiar smell of Fluttershy’s cottage could be detected, then they saw the lights coming out of the windows.
“Ok, let’s get you some rest. You look really bad,” Swift could barely nod, so he just looked at her which got the message across.
“Fluttershy, get out here, quickly!” Rainbow yelled, but once again Jet appeared at the door not Fluttershy.
“WOAH! What happened to his leg?” Jet asked, looking at the leg from several different angles.
“Move!” Rainbow yelled, pushing past him. She put Swift gently on Fluttershy’s couch. She gently grabbed his bad leg and lifted it slowly, watching him wince so she knew when the pain was too much. She finally got it up on the couch.
“FLUTTERSHY!” Rainbow yelled. As she did the yellow pegasus appeared in the kitchen doorway.
“You poor thing! What happened?” Fluttershy ran towards the couch to examine his leg.
“He’s been through a lot Shy. I don't think he should talk, I’ll tell you later, though. For now, I need you to fix him up. He definitely needs bandaging, that bone looks bad.”
“Ok” Fluttershy said, rushing into the kitchen and throwing various things out of the cupboard until she came across a box which she opened, revealing several medical materials, including bandages, which she took out. She ran back into the lounge.
“Oh, you’re asleep,” Fluttershy said, looking at Rainbow who had indeed fallen asleep, resting her head on the couch.
“Shy, maybe its best to let them sleep. We can talk to them in the morning...” said Jet, trying to persuade his keen friend.
“Ok, see you in the morning. I’m going to bed as well,” Fluttershy said, walking up the stairs.
Authors note (Swift):
I will try and get chapter 2 out soon. Hope you all enjoy reading the story!
Editor’s note (Shadow Blaze):
Wow. Swift’s life kinda sucks. Broken leg? With the bone sticking out of his leg? I’m amazed he could speak coherently, let alone PUSH A TREE OFF OF DASH! He’s the pony version of the Incredible Hulk, only nicer!
