"Rainbow... It's... Scratch... I... Happened... Sorry... I... Music... listen?" A sad, scratchy voice enter's my thoughts.   For some reason, something the voice said stuck out. Music.

"Hey Rainbow. It's me, Vinyl Scratch. I heard what happened. Sorry about that. I uh, brought some music. Wanna listen?" She pulls out a CD. She then proceeds to put it in a radio. A soft song begin's to play.

A soft, catchy tune echo's in the white tunnel. It sound's of silver river's rushing, as sonic rainboom's echo repeatedly. Wind rustle's blade's of grass, and the voice of canterlot cry's out in joy. The sky's weep, and ponies clap there hooves. A scratching can be heard from beyond. Bird's whistle, spider web's are pulled. Metal hit's metal, causing a sip of echoing and wobbling. The soft embrace of the sun wrap's around me as I listen. I felt, like I was with a friend...

"Mrs. Vinyl... comma... testing... later... rest..." The music come's to a halt, as a deep, serious voice enter's my head. Comma. The best thing I had heard, was stopped for THAT! So, uncool! Ending something so awesome, was like, a crime! I stomped my hooves on the pearl white 'floor' and gallop forward. I had to find the source of this.

"Mrs. Vinyl Scratch, we have come to the conclusion that, Rainbow Danger Dash, Is in a comma. We ask you to, step out, so we can run some test's. You may come by later, so we advise you to go home and rest." Doctor Gregory Horse entered the room. His eye's were baggy, and bloodshot. His hair looked like it had seen better day's. Much, better day's. He had spent all night looking at the wing damage, book's on what to do if you at least cut your cutie mark, and a book called 'a doctors guide to caring for a pony in a comma'. Nothing gave him answer's as to what he had to do. The wing bone's were cut, jagged, and snapped in a strange way. Her cutie mark was completely severed. She had been electrocuted, and pumped with adrenaline. The adrenaline hadn't truly taken affect until she was in the ER. With her heart rate already jumping from fear and pain, she was electrocuted. If thing's couldn't get any worse, she had a sudden burst of energy causing her heart rate to practically explode. But then, as soon as it started, it stopped. Due to this, she fell into a comma. He had no idea how to fix this. Her hooves were nailed to a wooden plank, she was strapped down causing her to slowly loose blood circulation, and a chunk of meat was missing in her leg. These were easy fix's, but with the other three thing's the Pegasus might not make it.

"Miss Dash. Can you hear me?" The brow stallion looked at the pony. Her cyan coat was brownish, from electrocution and dried blood. Her rainbow mane had become dull and lifeless. Her magenta eye's was glazed over, and glassy. Her entire torso, and her hip's were wrapped in a gauze.

In the Canterlot Asylum, a pink pony sit's in one of the white, fluffy rooms. Her expression changes over and over as she mumble word's to herself.

"I'm sorry Dashie, I didn't mean to!"

"Oh you little foal, stop whining and get it through your head! this town need's to shrink, and she only caused alot of trouble fro the town!"

"But she was my friend!"

"She was a worthless coward that couldn't understand she was reckless and selfish!

The war ragged on in that little room, for what seemed like hours. A soft yellow pony look's into the room through a window. Her aqua eye's widen as she she's her friends pain. Her mane is flat, her eye's narrow, and soften on a whim, as she fights tears. The pony back's up, and tighten's her wings to her torso. Her pink mane hide's the look of horror on her face as she begins to leave the viewing room...

I look down at the darkness. After walking for who know's how long, I made it. But 'It' is not what I expected. A cliff. "Should I? No... Well... Nah... But. NO! I am not going to jump over the edge!" I stomp my hoof, listening to the loud echo. I rustle my cyan feather's. But if this isn't what I think it is... I could use you two... Narrowing my eye's, I take a step and fall into the darkness...

Beep.   Beep.  Beep.          Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep. Beep. Beep. Worried, and scared eye's look at the cyan pega- no no no... earth pony? Well anyway, eight pairs of eye's look upon the pony. A filly hood friend, an honorary little sister, two princess', a doctor, the pony who was about to admit something important to her, friendly competition mate, and the pony who made something for her to wear to a very important event. The event that included three very important ponies to her. These nine ponies looked down, watching every movement of the cyan pony. The pony, had been cleaned, and put back together. The holes in her hooves has been sewn closed, her cutie marks carfully stitched back together, the small most recent injury on her stomach, had been naturally closed, but not without the help of modern hospitals and the chunk of meat from her leg temporarily replaced by some weird thing of modern technology. Her wing's, were under high surveillance in another room as they studied it and photo's taken every hour of her stub's. Her mane had been given a cut, due to  electrical damage. Her fur had also been cut, more like shave and anything left was washed.

"Do ya think she'll be okay doc? Is she gonna make it?" An lavender mare looked at the brown stallion. He simply looked at her, and then down at the floor.

"It's hard to tell, at any moment she could... leave us, and then again, at any moment she could wake up. I just, don't know..." He shook his head.

"R-rainbow Dash w-will make it! I-I know she c-can! Because sh-she's Rainb-bow D-dash! Toughest, c-coolest, fast-test and bravest po-pony in all of Eq-q-questria! She is the L-loyalist of a-any pony to w-w-walk on the face o-of the p-planet!" A shacky and tear stained filly looked at her mentor, and sister....

"I-... I believe in you!"
