Rainbow Dash's Bad Day

by Luigi117


The Apple Family

Applejack ran to the side of the crater Rainbow Dash had just made. She slid down and put RD on her back."You are heavier than ya look." Applejack grunted. She climbed out of the crater, slowly making her way into the Apple Family home. She opened the front door and yelled, "GOT AN INJURED ONE HERE!" The rest of the Apple Family instantly got into a line. Applejack started to give orders like a drill sergeant. "Granny Smith, get something cooking, for her to eat. Applebloom, go get a wet washcloth and some blankets, And Big Mac?" She looked up at her brother. "Eeyup?" Applejack motioned to the couch. "Help me bring her over there." Granny Smith and Applebloom gave a salute and ran off to do their duties, while Big Mac picked up Rainbow Dash and placed her on the couch. Applebloom ran back with her supplies. "Got them sis! Who is injured by the way?" She handed Applejack the washcloth and blankets. "Rainbow Dash was flying around in the storm, and she got hurt. Now run along." Applebloom gave another salute and went to the kitchen to help Granny Smith.

"Well, what happened?" asked Granny Smith, as Applebloom walked into the kitchen. "They said Rainbow Dash got hurt in the storm. I hope she is alright. AJ wouldn't tell me what happened." Applebloom looked down at the floor, thinking of the worst things that could of happened. "Oh, don't sweat it deary. I don't think it's THAT bad." Granny replied when she saw Applebloom's face twist up from her horrific thoughts. Applejack peeked around the corner. "Oh yes, Granny Smith it's that bad. Come look!" Applebloom shook herself out of her thoughts. "SHE DIED?!!" Applejack looked at her sister sternly. "No! jeez girl, what are you thinking?" Applebloom gave a sigh of relief as they walked into the living room to see what happened.

Rainbow Dash's eyes fluttered open. She felt a wet thing on her head and she was covered in blankets. She groaned. "W-what h-h-happened?" She held her head in her hooves, due to a massive headache. She turned onto her back only to feel a sharp pain run up her back. "OW!! she rolled onto her stomach again. Rainbow saw orange fill up her vision. She looked up and saw a concerned Applejack. "You OK sugercube?" Rainbow Dash was too tired to do anything so she just nodded. AJ grew a look of confusion. "Really? You don't feel bad? No pain or anything?" Rainbow was as confused as Applejack. "Well when I rolled on my back, it really stung. Why? What happened?" Applejack looked at her family, then back at RD. "Well, you were flying all weird like. When I tried to talk to you, well, um...You got struck by lightning." Rainbow's face scrunched as she remembered. "I got struck by LIGHTNING?! Pinkie Pie you little..." Her last sentence was said under her breath, and nobody could hear her. "Well," Started Applejack. "Need anything? Food? Drink?" Rainbow looked up again. "You sound just like Pinkie Pie. Yeah, i am starving! what's to eat?" The Apple family gave a small smile. There is the Rainbow Dash we know!

As Rainbow Dash munched on the most delicious apple pie she ever tasted, the apple family sat in the living room whispering. Rainbow only heard a few words. "Scar" and "Really bad" She didn't think much of it, because this apple pie was the only thing in the world that mattered right now. She felt a small tug on her tail. She looked down and saw a wide eyed Applebloom. Her pupils seemed to cover the whole expanse of her eyes. Rainbow Dash would never admit it, but it was the most adorable thing she ever saw. "What do you need kid?" Applebloom's eyes looked towards the pie and then back to Rainbow. Rainbow Dash looked at the final piece of pie. She couldn't say no. She handed Applebloom the last piece. Her eyes seemed to get bigger and she smiled. "Thanks Rainbow Dash! Hope your back gets better!" She held the pie in her mouth and hopped away in a Pinkie like fashion. Rainbow Dash felt like she was about to explode from overexposure to adorableness.

The storm stopped. Rainbow Dash was happy that it was over. She walked outside and noticed a pond in front of the Apple Family's house. "Wha? Applejack come out here!" Applejack ran out. "What!? What happened!? Anything wrong!?" Rainbow dash motioned to the pond. "Did you buy a pond, or something? Can you even do that?" Applejack started laughing. "Rainbow, I think you gave me that pond. Thanks, by the way." Rainbow looked confused. Applejack explained that she fell out of the sky and made a huge hole, and the rain filled it up. "AWESOME!" Rainbow yelled. "I made a pond! Add one more thing to the list of tricks!" Applejack looked at the pond. "Um, I don't think you should try and make another one anytime soon." They both started laughing and walked inside.

They all sat down for breakfast. Rainbow almost exploded from adorableness again. Applebloom refused to sit in her chair. Instead she insisted on sitting on Rainbow Dash's lap. She laid down and curled up into a small ball of yellow and red. "Oh my Celestia, that is adorable!" Rainbow said out loud. She looked up to see the Apple Family staring at her. "Um...I mean..." Rainbow stammered. Applejack burst out laughing. She almost fell out of her seat. She stopped when Big Mac kicked her from under the table. Applebloom noticed, and she curled up even more. Even though Applejack had just laughed at her, Rainbow felt like she was part of the family. As soon as she felt this though, there was a knock on the door.
