Ok, so this idea seemed a little dangerous compared to others. But that never stopped her in the past. Life changes when we least expect it. Rainbow Dash wakes up at the hospital in surprisingly good physical condition, but that's not what's concerning anyone. This problem goes much deeper and will be incredibly more difficult for any of them to recover from.

I really like where this is going. I really enjoy your writing style as well. I really want to see where this is going to go.

this is a pretty phenomenal start man. good idea, little different, like it.

Brain damage thats a pretty interesting concept. After all that news I think this is deserving of needs a tragedy tag. Watched

I could just imagine Rainbow looking at the photos.:fluttercry::applecry::ajsleepy::raritycry::raritydespair:

D'awww. Fluttershy seems a bit Twilight-y though.

I agree with Arkenai. I read the first part in Twi's voice. Other then that, good job!!!

I have pretty severe anxiety disorder, but I enjoy reading sad/tragedy fics. Idk why I think its cuz I relate to them, and irl a lot of my good friends have had problems of their own so I could relate to them, etc. Like, whenever I see someone depressed, fiction or not I have this compelling urge to console them... idk if that's weird or not... but regardless, back to the anxiety... I've read cupcakes and similar stories, stories where one of the mane six die, or one of the cmcs, and of course the million stories about Dash losing the ability to fly and coping with that fact. But this.... this is like on a whole new level. At least in death you can get closure and try and move on with your life. Now their best friend is pretty much not even herself literally as an individual or a friend. She's essentially an empty shell right now. I know I'm rantin..

What I was going to say going back to the anxiety again is that this story affected me to the point of almost having a panic attack. That's how horrible this whole idea is to me. Luckily I have xanax (prescribed, plus I'm on like 4 different mood stabilizers and antipsychotics/antidepressants) so I was able to calm down. Panic attacks are one of the worst things you can go through. But yea I'm really interested to see where this is going.

LiPlease tell me when nxt chpt. be rdy.:derpyderp1:

Couldn't Twilight use a memory spell on RD :facehoof:
Give her back some of her memories about their friendship and her personality :rainbowhuh:
Of course RD still has the whole hoof-eye coordination problem, only the memories of when they where friends would be there and she wouldn't remember her past, her parents, her first sonic Rainboom :rainbowderp: y'know that sort of thing. I really find it boring having a retarded Rainbow

:rainbowkiss: ga blah pfft flar mah

:rainbowhuh:I have no idea what you just said

I dunno about this story man, not sure what kind of progress you can make with it because the bomb was dropped in the first salvo, it's all downhill from here unless you introduce a new challenge (and no, brain dead RD isn't enough, because that doesn't really make for a gripping story IMO).

The idea, in and of itself, could be achieved with buildup to the event, the event, and then a buildup to finding out the damage was permanent, however you can't really achieve that from an RD perspective as easily as an outside one. Starting chapter 1 with "RD is never gonna fly again, doesn't remember any of you, and probably doesn't even know what I'm saying" really locks the story into one dimension >.>

All that being said, I want to see what you can do with this the way you have it, so I'll keep watching :3

see, these guys just don't have the faith:derpytongue2:
this is a geniues idea, as long as it's possible for it to be overcome either on an emotional level for the others or a physical level for rainbow dash.
keep it up:rainbowkiss:

I don't think it really needed a build up to the event (Rainbow losin her mind.) I think the beginning was a great launching pattern for the rest of the story. We've already seen a chapter from Fluttershy's perspective on what went down in the event and how she reacted to it emotionally. I assume we'll see more of the same from everybody else s points of view as well. And from then on out there's the recovery, which in cases like these take a longgg time and even then she won't ever be the same. It'll take a while for her to remember if she even can. from what this chapter talks about it she seems to have a link to the elements of harmony. So this may be a way to reconnect with her friends.

Also in terms of the whole buildup thing... yeah sometimes things do build up to a point of disaster but in this case its just Rainbow tryin to do a new move to impress the Wonderbolts. All her friends are pretty used to this fact by now, she's always doing it. And then, sometimes life hits you like a pile of bricks out of nowhere. Can't really predict when shits gonna hit the fan. (... why didn't Pinkie sense know this was gonna happen??? :pinkiesad2:)

Sounds like RD switched bodies with another creature from a different world.
