//------------------------------// // Nightmare // Story: Rare Illness // by startistic fluttershy //------------------------------// Fluttershy was driving Rainbow Dash to her parents house. Rainbow looked out of the window about 3 minuets away, a large red truck gaining speed. The lights go green and Fluttershy drove. Crash The impact of a four ton pickup truck going like sixty miles an hour smashing straight into the passengers side like the force of an atomic bomb. It tore off the doors, sending Rainbow into the window of the driver's side, blood splatting across the window. It flipped the chassis, bouncing it across the road and ripped the engine apart as if it was no stronger then a spider web. It tossed the car's wheels and hubcaps deep into the forest by the side of the road. Fluttershy had her head smashed against the steering wheel, and Rainbow had collapsed bleeding from the opened gash that was laying upon her head. The sound was horrifying, crushing metal and braking bones. The car was thrown into the forest, and Fluttershy woke up the smell of metallic which was stained in her nose. She lost color in her face, blood was too much for her the feeling that she caused this burned inside her. Her hands were socking, Fluttershy looked down and her hands were drenched in crimson. A acidly bitter taste started to rise in her throat, she looked around and noticed that the car was upside down. She unfastened her seat-belt, and fell onto the roof the car exploded into flames. Fluttershy shot a glance at Rainbow; who wasn't moving she placed her hand onto Rainbow lightly shaking her, but she was gone for good. Tears started to form in her eyes as the flames got awfully close to her then it started to burn her arm.... " AHHHHHH." Screamed Fluttershy. She was sweating frantically trying to grasp the sheets. Her bed was socked in sweat then someone knocked against the door Fluttershy looked around, and the sun was creeping past the slight gap in the blinds. The door opened, and Scootaloo came in. "Fluttershy are you alright?" She asked her older sister "Yeah." Fluttershy lied. "Why?" "You screamed. Your bed looks like someone decided to take a bath. Is everything alright?" She asked again. "I'm fine Scootaloo. Can you just tell me the time?" Fluttershy asked. "It 10:15 in the morning." Scootaloo answered. "Has Rainbow Dash been ar...." Fluttershy was interrupted by knocking then a door creaking open. "Fluttershy." Said the voice from downstairs. "Can you tell her to come up here please while I get changed." Fluttershy asked as Scootaloo nodded. She walked out of her room then walked downstairs. "Hey Scootaloo." Rainbow said. "Hi Rainbow Dash. Fluttershy is getting changed, and wants you to meet her upstairs. "Thanks." Rainbow headed upstairs. The sound of footsteps startled Fluttershy just as she tied her hair up the door opened. Rainbow first noticed the bed then Fluttershy. "What happened Fluttershy?" Rainbow asked her. "I don't wanna talk about it." Fluttershy said. "Are you sure we can always talk about anything you know." Rainbow said walking up to her.. "I'm fine really." Fluttershy said with a little anger in her voice. Rainbow sighed then gave her a faint smile. Then Fluttershy's eyes flicked red then back to blue. "Why are you looking at me like that?" Fluttershy asked her. "No I thought I saw something." Rainbow lied then looked down at her arm. " I guess I did." Rainbow lifted Fluttershy's arm. Burnt all the way down to her shoulder. Then Rainbow let go of her arm. "AHHH" Rainbow screamed as her hand went bright red. "Careful silly." Fluttershy said giving her a kiss on her cheek. "Okay." Rainbow said as Fluttershy went to her drawers, and pulled a first aid kit. "I've got these stashed around Ponyville." Fluttershy said wrapping Rainbow's hand in cotton. "Smart idea." She said still cautious of Fluttershy's arm. "I'm going down to the castle. I need to talk to Twilight." Fluttershy said while finishing bandaging Rainbow's hand. "Alright I will see you later tonight." Rainbow said giving her a hug. About 10 minutes Fluttershy arrived at the castle, and guards stopped her. "Halt!" One of them said. "State your business!" The other said. "Um...I can't really tell you..."Fluttershy said as she heard a deep voice. "She's with me." Fluttershy turned around, it was Spike. He has grown a lot recently. "Alright." The guards said letting both in. "Thanks Spike." Fluttershy said. "No problem, but the amount of times you have come in. They should remember you." Spike spoke just as Twilight walked out. "Spike can you place the bags into the kitchen please....Oh hello Fluttershy you need anything?" Twilight asked her friend as Spike left the room. "Can I talk to you in more of an privet environment please?" Fluttershy asked. "Of cause, Spike has turned one of the rooms into the relaxation room wanna talk in there." "Yes please." Fluttershy followed the Princess down the hallway, and into the room. She sat down, and Twilight sat across from her. "What's on your mind?" Twilight was the first to speak. "Well after I got out of the hospital, and other stuff I don't want to go into. It was basically a dream that brought me here." "Dream or Nightmare." Twilight asked her. "Nightmare." "Alright go on." Twilight asked. "I was in an awful car crash. Rainbow was dead, and the flames came close....And." Fluttershy rolled her sleeve up. Twilight gagged. "I will call Princess Luna for you." Twilight said pulling her phone out of her pocket. "Thanks."
