Dates & Destruction (Part II)

NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

Rainbow Dash stopped in mid-flight as she heard this dreadful cry. In fact, all of Ponyville stopped as they heard it. It sounded like Princess Celestia, but what would an all-powerful princess being screaming at? Rainbow thought that nothing could scare the princess, It must be something REALLY scary, then. Dash thought.

Clearing these thoughts out of her mind, Rainbow Dash continued her flying routine. If there was a contest for biggest show-off, Dash would win it by a long shot. The cyan mare raced above the town, letting by-standers marvel at her amazing stunts. Back flips, front flips, nose dives, whirl winds, Rainbow Dash could do them all. And not to mention her amazing speed. She flew so fast that she left a rainbow trail behind her. No wonder her ego was so big.

As she flew farther away from the town center, Rainbow picked up speed. She rocketed towards Sweet Apple Acres and snagged a red delicious behind Applejack's back. Laughing, she flew to the nearest cloud and flopped down on it. Letting her breathing slow, Dash took a bite from the apple. Crispy, juicy and full of flavor. Just like all Sweet Apple Acres apples were.

The cocky pegasus relaxed. She had been flying all day and it felt good to lay down finally. Perfect time for a cloud nap. she thought to herself. And, like many times, the mare fell asleep on that soft cloud . . .

Rainbow Dash killed the evil villain with one last awesome blow. "You saved us!" cried the grateful towns people. "All in a day's work." Dash said nonchalantly. As the grateful and adoring ponies gathered to start thanking the awesome heroine, a figure stepped out of the shadows. "You haven't saved them yet!" The figure exclaimed, grinning evilly. "I'll kill you!" Rainbow said, pulling out her totally wicked sword-thingy and swinging at him. The figure ducked and pulled out his own sword-thingy and they started battling. The battle lasted longer than the heroine had expected, since the villain was actually a decent fighter. The figure laughed. "Face it, Rainbow Daring Dash! You'll never defeat me! Mwahahahaha!" Rainbow frowned and glared at him. "Oh yeah? Why is that?" The dark figure suddenly pulled off his hood, revealing that he was . . . Soarin the Wonderbolt! Soarin stood over her. "You'll never defeat me because . . .you love me!" And with that, he pulled her in for a kiss.

"Ahhh!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed, suddenly waking up from her dream. "Ohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygosh! That was the weirdest dream ever!" She looked around, expecting to see Soarin or the towns ponies, or the defeated villain, but all she saw was the familiar sight of Ponyville.

"I really need to talk to somepony about this!" she said. Racing off to Sugarcube Corner, Dash was in such a hurry that, without noticing she crashed into somepony's flower cart. Roses, daises and other flowers flew everywhere, causing quite a scene for the mare. "Hey!" an angry pony yelled. "Watch were you're going!" But Rainbow couldn't hear here. Pain blurred her vision and she could barely move her wings.

Little did Dash know that she had two new problems to face: a strange dream, and two broken wings.
