Rainbow. Rainbow, Rainbow! Rainbow Dash! Rainbow?

Rainbow's eyes opened. She she was laying on her wings, and she was in an uncomfortable position. She was on a bed in a dark room, candles dimly glowing around her. Quickly, Dash sat up and looked around. She could barley make out a sillouette of a pony in the next room over, oblivious to the pegasus who had awaken. Dash quietly got off the bed and slowly made her way towards an open window. "Up already?" A voice asked. Rainbow turned around, meeting the eyes of another mare. She was a bit shorter than Rainbow, her mane and tail were red and purple, both designed in a knife-like way.
The mare's eyes were an electric blue with a faint red hidden in them and her flank showed a magic looking source.          "Uh... looking for the bathroom? Dash tried. The mare wore a confused look.
"Outside window?" The mare asked. Dash sighed and looked down. "I was trying to leave." The mare giggled and pointed towards the other room. "Door over there, I not stop you from leaving." She said.
"How did I get here, if you don't mind me asking?" Dash asked. It was strange beeing out in the woods and then waking up in a house. The mare looked at Rainbow for a breif second, then spoke.
"I was in home, working on project, then I see cyan object fall outside at tree line. You lay there, cyan pegasus, and I take you in." Dash looked at the strange mare. She remembered seeing the small house, but that was the last thing she had in her memory. "I see. I didn't expect to find a pony out here."
"I understand, but I am happy, for I rarely get visitor." The mare said. Dash then looked at the other room. A large cauldron steamed in the center and multiple bottles and vials of all colors scatered around the room. The mare looked at the room, then at Rainbow. As Rainbow continued to look, the mare spoke up. "As you may see, I have hobby. I call myself potion maker, but all common speaking pony folk would call me witch. I still say potion maker or 'Spellcaster', but I see you have different thoughts." The mare said. "My name Jinx. You?" Rainbow debated whether or not to tell her, so she looked at the mare and said, "I'm Rainbow Dash, but you can call me Rainbow." Jinx smiled brightly. 
"Been forever since I see another pony, so happy to meet you." She said. Rainbow couldn't help but smile. She had meet another pony in a place she would need to work hard to be in. It was nice to see this pony cared about her, that she took her in. "But again, I not stop you from leaving." Jinx said, almost in a sad tone. Rainbow hasitated at first. She was ready to leave, but the mare seemed lonely out here. She was the Element of Loyalty and since they became friends, she wasn't going to abandon her. The mare smiled. "Ok, I leave you to get settled." Jinx said. Rainbow replied with a smile and left Jinx with her project. It was a nice home and it even had a fairly large living area with a place for a fire in the center. Rainbow looked around the potion room and it seemed that Jinx was good at what she did. There were talent enhancers and water walking potions. On an unfinished shelf, Rainbow saw some of the things Jinx was trying to work on. Invisibilaty, one that could turn you into a different race, and one Rainbow was suprised with: a Love Potion. Jinx saw what Rainbow was looking at and laughed. "Nopony ever bottle love before, so I once tried. Had to bathe in mud to stop crush on tree." She said with a smile.
Later on, both Jinx an Rainbow shared a yawn and decided to call it a night. "Goodnight, Rainbow." Jinx said, then walking into her room afterwards. "Goodnight Jinx." Rainbow said, yawning again. Rainbow always knew she would get a roommate at Cloudsdale University, but it was very nice to have one now. Rainbow climee into her bed and rested her wings into a comfortable position. She closed her eyes, smileing, and drifted off to sleep.
