There are some things that time cannot heal, some wounds that life won't let us forget. These are the scars that are bare for the world to see, and they are reminders that no matter how happy we once were, we are no longer. But still Rainbow Dash takes the trips that festers the wounds and opens the scars, because no matter how awful she feels, forgetting would be worse.

They tell you to shoot for the moon. To reach for the sun. But they never remind you of the drop and the distance. Rainbow Dash learns this the hard way. Her friends are at her side, and one refuses to leave it. Pinkie becomes a caretaker for her injured friend. And this is their story.

Inspired by a bag of gumdrops I received during halloween. Nah, I kid. I can't remember where I came up with this. But thanks for reading, anyway. This story contains shipping but of the innocent playful variety. Get your mind out of the gutter, son. You bring great shame to family.
