Ones Ending

Chapter 1: Pieces

        Empty is how I felt that day, weak, pathetic, worthless, I couldn't do anything to save her from her descent. Motionless is how she spent these last seconds in our world. To me time felt slow as if an everlasting torment was brought onto me as punishment for some sin i had committed. Hell was real for me and it was this moment. Self pitty is all i could muster for myself. A Sky blue pegasus named Rainbow Dash, or maybe i should have gone by my old nickname Rainbow Crash.

These wings of mine that had gotten me through so many predicaments in the past. Being able to overcome my fear of disappointing everyone and looking weak at the Best Young Flyers Competiton and actually performing a Sonic Rainboom and at the same time saving Rarity while dazzling the crowd even Princess Celestia was amazed at my heroics. Saving Ponyvile from utter destruction from the lord of chaos himself Discord. Protecting Canterlot from the forces of the Changling army and Queen Chrysalis.  The Crystal Empire where we protected it from an evil tyrant named King Sombra. Even saving Rarity for the hundredth time. I was able to complete all these tasks with ease. Why now do my wings and even my hooves betray me and lay there useless. They were damaged and weak, and pathetic, and worthless AHH...

"WHY CAN'T I DO ANYTHING TO SAVE HER, WHY DAMN IT WHY DOES SHE HAVE TO PAY FOR MY INCOMPETENCE. MY WEAKNESS."

The pain was unbearable the sight was horrific both stabbing at me like a burning knife. Her fall was nearing its en. It was now I had to try something. I galloped and galloped but I knew it was in vain. She would land and she would die.

My mind was racing and racing the pain in my hooves I could handle but the pain of loosing her was torture. Can this really be reality or just some sick joke being manufactured by my own mind to destroy my very core of my being. I didn't know there was only one thing I cared about and that was galloping to her safety and catching her as she fell. It may be a small chance but I don't care i'm going to take those odds and accomplish my goals. She won't die today. I promise her that, I promise everypony that, I promise me that.

Please oh please take me instead, all she has ever done is be happy make the whole world a better place, and what have i done sinned; the Element of Loyalty may be my greatest ally but in the end was it my demise. The way i acted thinking i was better than everyone else, but in reality i was the lowest of the low. Not good enough I've never been good enough.I believed some of my friends to be weak and didn't appreciate them for who they are. What kind of monster was I and still am? Did I do this to her? How could I do this what's wrong with me? She was my best friend and look at the price she had to pay. Tears were flowing down my face I couldn't hold it in. I knew the outcome but didn't want to believe it. If there was anything that could be done it would have to be now. Faster I needed to gallop faster. So close to saving her I know I can just need to push myself to my limit. I'm almost there just a little bit....

Only you can save her...

Goodbye... Dashie

"No... PINKIE PIEEEEEEEEEEEE..."

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO," I shouted to heavens as I awoke in my bed sweating, crying and shaking. Where is she is the only thing I could think about? Needing to find her was racing through my mind? Was that just a dream? Why did it feel so real so vivid, and why am I having the same dream over and over again night after night? The more times I had this dream the more a bigger piece was added to the story and so was the pain. All I could do was stare at my hooves and wonder where were all these horrible thoughts were coming from. They could pass as just simple nightmares but they just seemed to real. Like a warning from the future, but it doesn't make any sense. I'm not a unicorn like Rarity or Twilight. Pegasi don't have magical powers like them. These dreams did feel like they had some sort of significance but I had to push on. Maybe they'll go away if I tell myself to forget over and over again. Let me take this slowly and get myself back together.

"Come on Rainbow Dash it was just a nightmare" I had to say out loud, or everything else would seem like a dream or in my case a nightmare. Slowly I inched my way to the mirror and all I could see was an empty reflection full of fear and regret. The same thing i see every morning I wake up after having THAT nightmare. Doesn't matter right it's only a dream, and no dream is going to keep me down. I'm Rainbow Dash, best flyer in Ponyvi.. no Cloudsda.. no In EQUESTRIA. I shouldn't let some silly dream kick me around, but just to be sure I should really visit Pinkie Pie. Just to see if she's okay.. er I mean if she needs any help with what she's doing. Yeah that's it. A casual get together between chums, amigos, great pals, and ect. and ect. Oh well I better head out there sigh.

I still remember how naive I was that day. Why couldn't I push my stubborn pride aside and ask for help like Applejack has done in the past. See i'm even saying she's better than me at something? I never do that.

As i walked out the door one single tear ran across my face. I looked back flying away from my home and regretted not going back.
