//------------------------------// // Never going to leave // Story: One Week Til Her End // by Bakmah Genesis //------------------------------// Rainbow Dash slowly opened her eyes, her back still hurting like hell. The beep of a heart monitor filled her ears. She looked around and found herself in a hospital bed. She closed her eyes and groaned as the memories returned. She then wondered how she got there in the first place. All she remembered was almost punching that ass of a stallion before blacking out. The door opened and a doctor can him. He wore a small smile as he walked in. "Now why would a beautiful mare like you get brought in here?" Rainbow laughed. "I'm guessing you are new. I know how pissed the doctors get if other doctors or nurses flirt with patients. Besides, I don't swing that way." The doctor frowned before walking forward and looking at her charts. He whistled, "Says here that you aren't due back for another few days, and not just for a check up as it seems. We did a few tests and it seems your cancer has accelerated. You obviously did strenuous work on an infected area which led to your black out." The doctor sighed and set down the clipboard. "This has shortened down your remains time." "By how much?" asked Rainbow Dash, staring at the ceiling. "Well it has been two days of your seven, leaving five. Now after these results, it's down to two." A tear rolled down Rainbows eye. "Is there any hope of me surviving with that spell?" The doctor looked back at his notes and smiled. "If it's finished, we can get it all done tomorrow and you will survive." A smile appeared on Rainbow Dash's face. "Can you send in my mare friend, Twilight? I would like to talk with her." The doctor nodded and left. Rainbow layed down and closed her eyes, waiting for Twilight to enter. A few seconds later she heard the door crash open and Twilight came running in, concern on her face. "Oh Celestia, Rainbow. Are you okay, do they have results, whats going to happen?" Rainbow chuckled and looked up at the lavender unicorn, a tear running down her cheek. "I bucked up, Twi. I now have two days." Twilight looked at her in disbelief in her eyes. Tears started to roll down her cheeks and onto the floor. "You got that spell?" Twilight nodded. "Finish it. If its done by tomorrow then I might survive. If you don't finish in time or if it doesn't work then I want you to fix it so no one has to go through the same thing as us, alright?" Twilight nodded, tears flowing and buried her head into Rainbow's neck. Rainbow stroked her mane. "Shh. Its okay. Finish that spell. I can wait. I will see you in the morning, alright?" Twilight looked at her and kissed her on the lips. "I will have it done and you will survive." A sob escaped her. "See you in the morning, I love you." Rainbow Dash stroked the unicorns mane out of her eyes. "Twilight, I am never going to leave you. Got it?" Twilight nodded and left. Rainbow layed down her head and stared at the ceiling. "I'm never going to leave." Rainbow turned her head over to the door. "Hey, Nurse! Can I get a Daring Doo book, please?" __________________________________________________________________________________ Twilight sat down at her desk, staring blankly at the words written on the paper in front of her. Her mind refused to work even though she kept telling herself that she needed to. Ideas and thoughts didn't want to come through the wall of sadness that draped her mind. She shook her head and picked up her quill. No, I have to work. If I don't finish tonight then Rainbow Dash could die and I can't let that happen. I just can't. Her quill moved with quick speed as it fixed holes in the wording, knitted together pieces of the spell and made it possible. She set down after four hours of writing. She looked out of the window and saw that the sun was already starting to set. She got up to go upstairs to her home when someone knocked on the door. "Spike! Get the door!" There was no response. She sighed and walked downstairs. She didn't know why Spike didn't answer the door but she really didn't think about it too much. She opened there door and was surprised to see Rarity, Spike hiding behind her. She raised an eyebrow. "Um...good evening, Twilight dear, are you feeling alright?" Twilight cocked her head at the two. "Of course, Rarity. Why would you ask?" Spike slid back further and Rarity pawed the floor. "Well, you see, Twilight, you have been locked in here ever since you left the hospital and we never got to see her because she was asleep so we were wondering if something happened..." "Everything is fine. Just a small problem but it will be fixed tomorrow." Rarity raised an eyebrow. "What is this 'small' problem, if I may ask?" Twilight's smile faded. "Oh it's nothing you know..." "Twilight." Twilight sighed and hung her head. "She has two days." There was silence, Rarity and Spike, who were now inside, stood there, shocked. "We just have to wait for tomorrow. She will never leave, she said it herself.
