An idea! · 8:39am Jan 31st, 2012
I think I`ll use the blog to post the pony nonsense... Yes. That`s what I`m going to do.
And so.... Rainbow Dash dreams she`s a Stuka bomber. (This is how it sounds like.)
Rainbow Dash tossed and turned. Revelations and secrets were definitely not the best sleep aid. Her mind raced as she thought about all that happened just now. Chaos crystals, glimpses into the past, Luna`s mysterious opinions and omissions - all of that conspired against pegasus, depriving her of much needed sleep. Eventually, however, she nodded off, her weariness taking it`s toll. At least, she could dream of something pleasant...
Rainbow Dash was flying. Flying high, and flying fast. She could feel the air sliding over her wings sharply. Normally, only couriers flew at those speeds. Couriers and Rainbow Dash. She felt excited, despite the calmness of the dusk spilled in sky all around her. Even in dreams, Rainbow Dash was always flying.
However... as much as she loved to fly, something nagged in the corner of her mind. Some inconsistency. Something was not quite right with that flight. Something that should`ve been there was missing. And then she realised it - no wing flapping. She was gliding? But how? How could one glide at such a speed? Rainbow Dash was puzzled, and struggled to take in the surroundings. Apparently, she was not a pegasus anymore. Also, apparently, her wings were fixed and were never meant to be flapped. And finally, she realised with a start, her nose was adorned with rapidly spinning propeller, which likely propelled her forward. 'Great. I`m dreaming I`m Pinkie`s copterthingie.' - she thought irritably.
While she was thinking, things changed again. Wings, which she previously thought to be immobile, suddenly moved, flaps making her tilt downward. She recognised the move - a start of a long dive toward the ground. Ground, which was surprisingly haphazard. She expected to see green, but the ground under her was a mash of colors, mostly muddy and ruddy. As she looked closer, a lot of movement happened on the ground. Some strange cloud bloomed below. A few seconds later, a boom reached her ears. Explosion. And one again. What was that madness? And why she was diving toward it so fast?
Dash tried to speak up, and surprisingly enough, she could make a sound. But not the one she was expecting. Ponies on the ground were all looking upward now, and she just knew they were afraid. Afraid of her. She fell out of sky with mournful siren wail, mountings shooting off as she dropped the payload, roar of explosion hot right after her tail as she levelled out of the dive and began sharp climb...
Blue pegasus shot up straight, eyes darting left and right as she panted, shaking the leftovers of crazy dream from her mind. That was... beyond weird, that was downright scary. Rainbow Dash rarely had nightmares. When she did, she usually dreamt of being a failure, of being unable to fly or failing in it. Never before she dreamt of something that made her afraid of the idea of flight in general. She ambled out of bed slowly and went to get some water. She needed to calm down... and probably take a quick flight over Ponyville just to be sure nothing exploded.
