Rainbow Dash rushed after her runaway Sonic Rainboom. She had never caused one to form horizontally, so she had no idea what she could do to stop it. She didn’t have long to think before the Rainboom hit something serious like a town; the only idea she could come up with was to make another Rainboom going in the opposite direction. She sped off in the opposite direction, managing to make another Sonic Rainboom. She then curved around, with a rainbow trail behind her, flew through the hole of the first Rainboom, and connected to the end of her trail. The two Rainbooms then collided, with Rainbow Dash caught in the middle.
“This was a very bad idea,” said Rainbow Dash.
A huge explosion of colors erupted, zapping Rainbow Dash multiple times. She began to lose consciousness and began falling to the ground. Her entire life was flashing before her in rapid succession: her first summer at flight camp, meeting Fluttershy, moving to Ponyville, meeting her other friends and their various adventures together, winning the Best Young Flyer award, and finally meeting Bookworm. She didn’t think she’d ever see any of them again, especially Bookworm; this filled her with the most sadness. Then, everything went black.
“Rainbow Dash,” came a distant voice.
Rainbow Dash couldn’t make it out at first, but slowly the voice became more clear.
“Rainbow Dash,” she heard Twilight Sparkle shout. “What happened!?”
Rainbow Dash did her best call back, but could feel the words not being able to come out. She wasn’t sure what happened next, there was still only darkness, but she felt her body being moved. She heard unfamiliar voices spouting out what sounded like medical terms. She put it together that she was now in a hospital. She’d bucked up good this time; landing in the hospital again!
“Is she gonna be ok, doc” she heard Applejack ask the doctor.
“When can you remove those bandages from her eyes,” she heard Rarity ask.
This caused Rainbow to start stirring in her bed; pulling herself up and shouting.
“Bandages,” shouted Rainbow Dash. “What happened!? Am I blind!? Where’s the doc!? Where’s Bookworm!?”
“Rainbow,” exclaimed Twilight. “Oh thank Celestia you’re ok!”
Twilight rushed to Rainbow Dash and gave her a big hug. The rest of her friends joined in.
"We were so worried about you," exclaimed Twilight.
"We thought you'd never wake up," cried Fluttershy.
"It was super duper scary," said Pinkie Pie.
"So glad you're alright, darling," said Rarity.
"Good to see you awake, sugar cube," said Applejack.
“Yeah yeah, glad to see you guys too,” said Rainbow Dash. “But answer my questions. What’s going on? Am I blind now!? Oh please tell me I’m not blind! My career with the Woderbolts is over before it ever even began!”
“Calm down now, Rainbow Dash,” said Applejack. “The doctors say you aint blind. They just had to cover yer eyes up after yer accident.”
“Oh right, the accident,” said Rainbow Dash. “Hope my double Rainboom didn’t cause too much damage to Equestria.”
“That’s the crazy part,” began Twilight. “If you hadn’t done what you did, several ponies could have been seriously injured.”
“It was super duper crazy,” exclaimed Pinkie Pie. “We’d never seen anything like that before ever! It was bigger than any Sonic Rainboom, it was more like some sort of Rainboom Kaboom! And you were caught in the middle of the whole thing!”
“Yeah, I remember that much,” said Rainbow Dash. "How long was I out?"
“Almost two weeks,” said Twilight. “You were zapped with rainbow energy, There hasn’t been a recorded incident like this in centuries. Most ponies would’ve died from that much exposure.”
“Yeah, ok cool, whatever,” said Rainbow Dash. “Where’s Bookworm!?”
“Oh, right, Bookworm,” said Twilight. “He’s still in the waiting area.”
“Then what are you waiting for,” shouted Rainbow Dash. “Get him in here! Now!”
“Alright, Rainbow,” said Twilight.
Rainbow Dash heard Twilight run off, followed by what was clearly two sets of hooves.
“Bookie? Is that you,” said Rainbow Dash.
“I’m here, Rainbow Dash,” she heard Bookworm say. “Are you alright?”
“I am now,” said Rainbow Dash. “I was trying to come see you, when I cause this major buck up.”
“Yeah, Twilight mentioned you were coming to see me,” said Bookworm.
“Yeah, I need to talk to you,” said Rainbow Dash. “Alone! So everypony get out!”
“Well, ya’ll heard her,” said Applejack. “Let’s git now.”
Rainbow Dash listened to the various hoof steps going out of her room.
“You too, Pinkie Pie,” shouted Rainbow Dash.
“Drats,” she heard Pinkie Pie exclaim.
“So what did you want to talk about,” asked Bookworm.
“First come closer,” said Rainbow Dash.
She heard Bookworm get closer to her bed.
“Up to my face,” she demanded.
She could clearly tell he was closer now.
“So what did you want to talk…” Bookworm began to say, before Rainbow Dash pulled him in for a passionate kiss.
“I love you Bookworm,” said Rainbow Dash after pulling away. “More than anything in this stupid world. Nothing will ever compare to the day I met you, not even joining the Wonderbolts.”
“Rainbow Dash,” Bookworm said with great shock. “I never thought I’d hear you say that.”
“I came close to dying, Bookie,” she said. “The last thing I thought about before hitting the ground was never getting to see you again. It was the worst feeling I ever had. I don’t ever want that feeling again. So whaddya say we get hitched?”
“You’re asking me to marry you,” he asked in shock. “Isn’t that my job?”
“Well fine,” she exclaimed. “You ask me then.”
“Um…ok,” he said. “Rainbow Dash…will you marry me?”
“You betcha, Bookie,” declared Rainbow Dash.
She grabbed at him again and gave him another passionate kiss. At this point though, it was clear she was getting more amorous. Bookworm tried to stop her at first, but quickly gave in.
Meanwhile, the rest of Rainbow Dash’s friends were out in the waiting area.
“What could be taking them so long,” asked Twilight. “I’m going to go check on them.”
The others waited behind, while Twilight went to Rainbow Dash’s room. About a second later, everypony in the hospital hear a very audible scream. Twilight came back to the waiting area, here pupils as small as pin needles.
“What on earth happened, sugar cube,” asked Applejack.
“I will never open a door without knocking again,” said Twilight in a monotone voice, while walking out of the hospital.
“What the hay was that about,” asked Applejack.
“Well duh,” said Pinkie Pie. “She obviously walked in on Rainbow Dash and Bookworm bumping uglies. I know that look anywhere.”
“She acted as though this happened to her more than once though,” said Applejack.
“It has,” said Pinkie. “She walked in on Rarity and Hayseed too.”
“How could you know that,” asked Rarity in shock.
“My Pinkie sense is never ever wrong,” said Pinkie with a proud smile.
