//------------------------------// // Crash Landing // Story: Rarity's Little Disaster // by Saekwaka //------------------------------// "No, Derpy! Not that way, you're going to-" CRASH. Rainbow Dash shielded her face with her hooves right before the debris of Sugar Cube Corner's top story hit her. "Now look what you did!" Rainbow cried. "When Mr and Mrs. Cake see this..." She trailed off, shaking her head while landing softy next to Derpy in what was now the remainder of Pinkie Pie's bedroom. She then stared distantly through the holes inside Pinkie's walls as if somehow, a miracle would occur before her eyes to completely fill in the spaces. "Sorry Rainbow Dash," said Derpy. "Maybe I could help fi-" "NO!" Rainbow shouted fiercly. She cleared her throat, then in a softer tone said, "I mean, no. Please don't." Seeing the dissapointed look on the little pony's face, Rainbow Dash sighed. "Listen, Derpy; if you really want to help with anything, you need to learn to be a little less..." She paused, as if searching for the correct word. Derpy blinked at her expectantly. "Destructive." Rainbow finished, watching a piece of wood drop to the floor. "Well, gee Rainbow Dash; I don't mean to be!" Derpy exlaimed. "I just don't know what went wrong!" "Go outside, and wait for me there. I'll clean up the mess, but don't you DARE do anything, understand?" "Okie-dokie, Rainbow Dash!" Derpy beamed, then spread out her wings in preperation for take off. Rainbow gasped, quickly grabbed the end of Derpy's tail with her mouth just before the innocent pony lifted off the ground. Derpy halted, turned to face Rainbow, and asked, "What's wrong?" "I think it'd be better if you used to stairs." "Will do! Thanks for your help, Rainbow!" Rainbow nodded, then busied herself by picking up the leftover wood from the ruined furniture. At that, Derpy stumbled out of the room; allowing her footsteps to echo throughout the shop. Celestia knows that pony will need as much help as she can get her hooves on. She thought bitterly. No more than two seconds later, Rainbow stopped herself and shouted, "Wait, what did I-" The sound of breaking glass and a loud THUNK inturrupted her sentence. Horrified, Rainbow sped down stairs as fast as she could. "Oops." Rainbow stared at the broken display case at the front of the room, then, scanned the entire area with her eyes to find a different mess. Sitting there with a smashed, chocolate-covered cake on her head, was Derpy. Rainbow sighed. "Just go outside, please."
