Rainbow stood in the waiting room of Ponyville hospital, pacing ratcher quickly. Something happened.

"Oh, AJ please please please please be okay...." She said to herself as Twilight and the others came racing in.

Twilight spoke up. "Rainbow, what happened, is Applejack going to be alright?"

Following suit, Rarity spoke up as well. "Oh darling, I do hope she recovers..."

Then Pinkie. "Rainbow! What happened! You gotta gotta, just GOTTA tell me!"

And finally, Fluttershy. "Rainbow, I'm so so sorry for what happened, is Applejack going to be okay?"

Rainbow hugged each and every one of them tightly. "I don't know what happened! One minute we're racing, the next she's on the ground knocked out or something!"

Twilight gasped. "Oh no! She went into Cardic Arrest!"

"Cardi-wha?" Rainbow said, tilting her head.

"It's basically when a pony's heart stops beating entirely. You know waht a heart attack is, correct? It is basically a much, much worse version of it. She must be in surgery getting the clot out."

"She's in surgery?! Why didn't they tell me!" Rainbow said, stomping her hoof on the ground.

"All we can do is wait Rainbow. And hope for the best." Twilight said, putting a re-assuring hoof to her friends shoulder. Twilight, nor did anypony else know of Applejack's and Rainbow Dash's true connection. Rainbow wanted to keep it that way.

A few hours later, Nurse Redheart came from Applejack's hospital room. "Ms. Rainbow Dash?"

Rainbow quickly stood up. "That's me, is she okay??" She asked frantically.

"Surgery was successful. Applejack will make a full recovery."

Rainbow smiled happily, before sighing in relief. "Oh thank Celestia..." She said, panting a bit.

"She will be awake in about an hour, you may visit her then." The Nurse said before trotting off to other areas.

Rainbow turned to Twilight and the others before hugging them all at once. "She's gonna be alright!"

Twilight and the other all cheered happily.

Rarity was the most dramatic, of course. "Oh my that is absolutely extravagant! We were all worried for nothing!" She said in a proud stance.

Pinkie jumped around happily. "Applejack! Applejack! The mare who can't die from a heart attack!" She giggled.

"Ya got that right Pinkie!" Rainbow said, smiling. Inside she felt so relaxed that her lover was alright.

After an hour from hearing the news, Applejack's eyes slowly opened. The only one to greet her was none other that Rainbow Dash. "Applejack, I'm so glad you're okay..."

AJ barely spoke. "W-what...h-happened...?"

"Twi said you went into Cardiac Arrest or somethin like that...it happened while we were racing yesterday."

AJ only closed her eyes, coughing.

"I-it's fine though. You're gonna be perfectly fine..." Rainbow said quickly.

"T-thank ya...f-fer savin me..." She said softly.

Rainbow gently nuzzled her. "Anything for the mare I love..."
