The Life of Two Murderers

Rainbow Dash and I were shocked. I never felt so scared. And I'm scared alot. The floor parted and was a circular platform high above cloudsdale with cameras watching our every move. All the Wonderbolts came up and watched.
Two pegasus ponies came up and taped our wings tight to our own bodies.

We couldn't fly.

"IS THIS SOME SORT OF CRUEL JOKE?!!?" Rainbow yelled out to Spitfire,

"Ahhhh Rainbow Dash," Spitfire sighed, "It's just tradition. YOU HAVE TO DO THIS!!" She yelled.

A gong rang out into my ears and the fight began. Rainbow grabbed a long, thick knife and a axe.

I grabbed a butcher knife.

We circled around eachother for what seemed like forever. None of us made a move.

Rainbow threw the knife at me.

It hit my leg.

I started to scream in pain. I could feel it's sharp tip digging into my skin and bone. I tore it out fast like it was a band-aid. My blood was covering my whole leg and onto the white cloud. I started getting dizzy but got up. I used all my strength to charge at her and cut her cheek. She backed up and I tried to do it again.

She hit me upside the head with a kick of her hooves.

I hit the ground with a thud and looked strait at Rainbow Dash.

She came closer and closer till she was right on top of me. Her eyes sparkled in the rays of the sun. Her rainbow mane was glossy and bright. I felt dizzy and gazed at her.

She healed the axe over my head and took aim.

"Yes....." Spitfire said in glee, " YES!!!! GET ON WITH IT RAINBOW DASH!!!!! KILL HER!!!!!!"

She look at me.

I looked back.

She raised the axe high above her.

She put it down and cried,

"I....can't...."

She dropped the axe and fell on her knees and wept in her hooves.

Time seemed to stop.

I layed there and thought "Why am I here? Sure I take care of the animals but somepony else can do that too. Rainbow Dash has a whole life ahead of her. Nopony will ever be as unique as her"

I got up slowly and so did Rainbow.

"Fluttershy....I can't do it.....I...just..." She tried to choke back tears and looked at me.

"Rainbow Dash," I said putting my hoove on her sholder, "Its ok. I'll be ok. I know you can't do it..."

I put the butcher knife to my chest.

"But I can't let you die."

I struck down through my stomach, my organs and my blood oozing out fron the giant cut.

Rainbow Dash was shocked at what happened in two seconds.

"You're the greatest...friend....ever.....Dashie...."

I fell off and everything went to black.

The last thing I saw was Rainbow Dash.

That's what I hoped it would be.

"FLUTTERSHY!!!!!! NO!!!!!!" Rainbow screamed trying to catch me.

She was too late.

She weaped and cried while Wonderbolts were taking her out of the stadium. They tossed her out and shut the metal doors behind them.

Rainbow dash just sat there. Her heart broken and filled with sorrow, grief, guilty, and hate.

She went home and shut the door. Lying on her bed, crying and regretting everything that just happened. Suddenly the phone rang. She picked it up.

"Hello?.." She said.

"Hi Rainbow Dash!" Pinkie Pie said on the other side, "I need help with something tomorrow. Could you help?"

"Well...You see...I-"

"GREAT!" Pinkie said gleefully.

"Sugar Cube Corner. Eleven o'clock." She said becoming serious.

"No later"
