Your wish came true.

Your vision is blurred, you have no idea which way is up, or down, left or even right. You wait for your eyes to focus and you see that you are laid on the floor, you put your hand on the floor- wait, you have hands! “Oh no, no no no no no NO! This can’t be happening, was it all a dream? Did I have a near death experience or something? This can’t be happening! I didn’t want this! What day is it? What time is it?! Oh no, I can’t believe it!” You stand up, it feels wrong to be on two feet now, but you cope with it. One you have your bearings you run downstairs and check your calendar, it’s still the same day! You turn around to look at the clock and notice that not even a minute passed in this world. “But how could this happen? How could it happen? I didn’t ask for this!” You just keep saying that to yourself, you sit on your bed, crying to yourself while rocking back and forth. “I… I love you Rainbow Dash, and I always will… What do I do! Please, Celestia please tell me!” No one responds, except for a bang on the floor coming from the flat under yours. In this life you have no marefri- girlfriend, no wings, no fun and no freedom; you can’t wake up and just hold Rainbow Dash in your arms anymore, all of it… Gone… All in the blink of an eye, why would this happen? It just isn’t fair.

A couple hours pass of you just rocking back and forth, crying softly to your self-asking why it happened, your computer blinks as an email appears on your screen, you quickly hurry over to it, hoping that it might just take you back to Equestria and you don’t have to live in this pitiful life ever again, the message reads;

Dear my most faithful human,

You have spent five days in Equestria so far and you were enjoying it a lot, but I am frightened of your abilities, you sustained two Sonic Rainboom’s and you did that twice, which is impossible and to top it all off, the second time you did it, you were hit by lightning, then it built up inside of you and spread to every single of your muscles, you should have been dead, and that is why I am worried.

If you were to be captured by an enemy of Equestria, even though it is highly unlikely, if you were forced to abuse that power I am scared as to what would happen with it, that is why I am going to need you to stay there for the time being, while I think about things. But don’t worry, a year here is but a second in your time right now so by the time you finish reading this, you will already of started to come back so don’t worry.

I must explain a few things to you though. A Sonic Rainboom bends light and time, then forces it’s way through it, and the only known person to be able to do it is Rainbow Dash, as you should know. The mere stress that it puts you body under is immense, it shouldn’t even be able to happen, especially in your world, it penetrates the sound barrier which cause the boom part of it, then it forces it’s way through the light barrier, causing the rainbow to form, and considering that you did one of them twice, and then you did another two, I am worried for my people of your capabilities.

I must know that your faith belongs with us, I don’t know how I will do it yet but I will have to test you soon.

Faithfully, Princess Celestia.

As you finish the e-mail, you start to feel very strange, everything in existence, slowly melting away before your eyes and then a sudden zap of electricity renders you unconscious and everything is pitch black, what feels like hours must of only been minutes, your eyes though are still very heavy and swollen, you manage to open them for just a few seconds, you are on the floor, outside of the hospital, you try to bring a hoof to your face but you don’t have the strength, all you hear is a voice inside your head telling you to get up, over and over, constantly telling you to get up and move, you can’t tell who it is who is saying it but you know they are very near, you try to bring your hoof up but you feel like it’s just dead weight but you keep on trying until you feel it slightly move, you face still in the ground you bring it up to your left cheek and try push off of the floor, it’s no use but the voice starts to get louder, to a certain extent it’s driving you crazy, while cheering you on at the same time then you realize, it’s Princess Celestia! “Princess, I can’t… I am in… Too much pain… My entire body aches…”

“Get up! I know you can do this, just get up!”

“I have tried! It’s nearly impossible!”

“Nothing is impossible Speedster, now get up!”

You gather all remaining force of your body to try and push yourself up again, it almost doesn’t work until you feel your self shockingly getting up, you can’t believe your eyes, after all you have endured you can still get up, you bring you right hoof to the floor and push even harder, you are now almost standing, you notice that you coat is still a whitish colour but the cyan is slowly setting back in and your mane is still slightly white but the rainbow is settling in again, thankfully you don’t feel as bad as you did when you was in the other world, that was the most gut churning, heart wrenching thing you have ever gone through in your entire life, a thousand bullets could not of even come close to the pain you felt.

And you hind legs come closer to your feet, you feel yourself raise some more, Rainbow Dash isn’t with you anymore, you can only hope that she is okay, you try to walk but the pain is excruciating and unbearable, like having someone hold your heart in your hands and squeeze it, or even someone repeatedly buck you in the groin without stopping, as hard as possible. Eventually you manage to take a few steps until somepony notices you and comes rushing over to you, crawling under you and carrying you on their back, you rest your eyes and go to sleep.

You wake up in a room, you find it very hard to see but you try and lift up your head, you very quickly skim around the room, looking for any noticeable faces that you might recognize. You notice that there is a slightly wounded Rainbow Dash sitting in the corner of the room on a stool, her wings slightly covered in bandages and a few cuts on her face but all in all she looks good, you heart sinks into your chest when you see her, you just had to make sure that she would be okay, you wouldn’t be able to live with yourself if she was severely injured, you just wouldn’t. You also see Princess Celestia in the background watching you; she speaks to you via your mind.

“You passed your first test, congratulations. I won’t be talking for a while but I will still test you but I won’t let you know when I am going to but you did well.

“Thank you Celestia.” She nods towards you and then takes off.

“I am truly bewildered!” You make out that this is Dr.Whoove speaking. “I can’t believe that he has managed to survive! And manage to get up and walk after all of it? That is truly amazing, and let us not forget impossible?”

Your wounds slowly start to heal up and your cuts seal with your stitches disappearing, you know it’s the work of Celestia, the doctors start to stare at you but then they notice the Princess leaving the room and knock it down to that

“Celestia, how long was I gone?”

“You weren’t gone long, maybe a couple of days at most, for you that is, I brought you back to the moment that you crashed so you didn’t miss anything, and I already had a test planned out for you, which you passed with might I say, with flying colours?” You hear her giggle in your mind as you feel her fade away from you. You slowly stand up and Rainbow comes rushing over to you begging for an explanation as to what happened, this time you are the one who can remember, not the other way around.

“Well, we were racing to Sweet Apple Acres in the thunderstorm because you well, dared me to.” Her face droops down in sadness, like you just ripped out her emotions. “It was okay though, we’re fine now, right?”

“Yeah I guess so, sorry that I dared you to race me, I really am…”

You give her a kiss on her cheek and she puts on a brave smile, “It’s fine Rainbow, it was my fault for letting you race me in the first place, I saw that there was probably going to be a storm today and then it started to thunder and lightning started to strike, which I was scared of at the time, but I quickly changed since you started to call me a chicken for it.” Her face grows in sadness once again, but she tries to keep a smile on. “I then accepted you dare  and we started to race, we came around Sweet Apple Acre and as we were coming back, the lightning got a lot worse, which then struck you with a giant boom, I thought that you did a Sonic Rainboom but then I turned around and noticed you falling, I just couldn’t bear to see you get hurt or even worse for that matter, my heart was beating so fast I just followed my gut and went straight down for you, I wasn’t sure that I would get there in time but I had to, I just had to save you.” A tear slowly comes to your eye as you talk, but you try to hold them back as much as you can. “I tried to go fast, then even more faster, until eventually I myself did a Sonic Rainboom, I don’t even know how I did it, I just knew I couldn’t let you fall, even that wasn’t enough speed to catch up t you, so I pushed myself even harder and did another, my heart beating like crazy and then I launched towards you and I reached you, just in time, but as I shot up into the air, I saw a bolt of lightning coming towards me, I knew that it would hit be so I braced for impact, I made sure that I would take the hit and I wrapped my wings around you and made you into a sort of cocoon, as I was hit by it, I pushed myself towards the hospital, while the lightning still built up in me, I then pushed myself towards the hospital with every bit  of energy and strength that I had left, hoping that I would make it but I was going too fast, I braced for impact again and made sure you were safe and then we hit the floor, you were fine but I wasn’t at the very least I was just in immense pain and suffering, but all that mattered was you being ok, that’s all I cared about.” Your eyes now start to flow tears happily like a waterfall, as are Rainbow’s and some of the doctors still in the room.

“Speedster, that’s one of the most loving and caring things someone has ever said and done for me, I…I I don’t know what to say just… I love you.”

Those words hit you like a ton of bricks, made from kindness and love, you give Rainbow the biggest hug, being careful not to hurt her wings, you kiss her behind her ear and she giggles slightly, you whisper into her ear; “So, are you up for that promise now?”

She stares blankly at you for a second, and then thinks back to when she was holding you down against your will. She smiles brightly at you with a grin reaching almost from ear to ear, “I would love to.”
