> Rainbow is More than Just a Simple Mare. > by nrace > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > prologue > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It was Christmas vacation, finally, I got a whole week to myself. I loved it, the whole house quiet, no one there except for me, My computer, an Xbox 360, a fridge stocked with food, and one whole week to myself. "hmmm, what should i choose? Minecraft? or halo 4?" I say to myself. "HALO 4!!!". I walk over to my TV which was positioned in front of a window. I see outside that it was dark, cold and snowy. As the snow fell onto the branches of the old crab apple tree I saw small flashes of light outside. I think nothing of it and continue to hook up my Xbox to the TV. I finish and I look back outside. The lights that were previously blinking got stronger and stronger, I continue to look out side and then I see it. A huge explosion of bright colorful lights light up the night sky. I was frightened but curious to see what just happened. As i rush outside of my house I grab my winter coat and put on my snow boots. I dash outside onto the sidewalk and run as fast as I could to the direction of the bright and colorful lights. > The encounter > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- As I continue to run I become tired. I take a breather and continue running towards the direction of the rainbow colored lights. I enter an ally way and walk down to the end. I don't see anything out of the usual, but then I look down . There was a large patch of blue fur curled up on the ground, I walk towards it with curiosity brimming through my eyes. I start to see feathers on the ball of fur, I start to prod at the feathers with my finger. I hear moaning coming from the ball of fur and then I see a head appear from the ball. I back up into the corner of the alley, frightened of the suddenly expanding ball of fur, then I start to see four legs and a rainbow colored main on the it's head. I ask "where did you come from little fella?". The mare just whipped it's tail into my face and said "I am not not little and I am not a fella!" "Whoa there did i just get hit by a horse or do i have hypothermia?" "Get out of my way so i can go back home!" The pony trys to fly but she just collapses on the ground over and over again. and she screams out with pain. "OWWW! my wings!!" "Do you seed some help?" "No get out of here i can do this myself!" "Oh come on i just cant let you sit here suffering! come on i can get you some food and a nice place to stay for a few days" "fine" She started to walk but then she just collapsed to the floor. I saw her wing had a horrible Gash on it and pools of blood were starting to form, and her leg did not fare to well either. I grab my coat and rip off a piece of it and patch up her wing. "Hey do you want me to carry you?" "No i can walk im fine just get me to your house" "You did not tell me your name" "Names Rainbow Dash, how about you two legs?" "well my name is Nick" I continue to walk to my house and I realize something, *Rainbow Dash? wait a second, my sister watched something called My Little Pony. WHAT THE HELL!!! how did she get here!??* "Hey uhh Rainbow Dash?" "What?" "you passed my house" "Oh sorry wasn't thinking" We walked into my house and i pulled out the spare guest bed and i put some sheets on it. Rainbow Dash came in and said. "Nick thanks for letting me stay for a while but i need to get back to Equestria with all of my friends. I have no idea where your world is or what you are i just need to get back." "I have no idea how you showed up here or why for the matter of fact. And it might be more than a few days before you get back, even for a few months" Rainbow Dash started to sob, so i came over to her and started to comfort her. "rainbow, I am sorry for what happened it's just... it's just that i don't know what just.... oh Rainbow stop crying please?" "I-im sorry im not usually like this, but im scared, i don't know where I am. It's just that I probably lost the biggest job offer ever." "And whats that?" "I was performing for the wonder bolts and suddenly when i was doing my sonic rainboom i blanked out and ended up in a dark alley." "oh im so sorry." I went to go get some milk for myself and got Rainbow some carrots from the fridge. I handed them to Rainbow who was in bed and i thought to myself *Wow even if she is a cartoon pony she's real. I cant comprehend what just happened, I just hope that my parents don't come in early from Winter break with my sister. -------------------------------------------------- The next day i woke up and saw Rainbow still sleeping. It was the cutest thing i have ever seen. I walked over to my coffee maker and started to make some coffee , i cooked some eggs in the process, as i slid the eggs back and forth in the non-stick pan i saw that outside it snowed about 4 feet. Snow plows were everywhere, as i sat down onto my couch i turned on the TV and turned the channel to the news. "This year folks we have a snow storm of the millennium, a whopper i say 3 feet of snow in 10 hours!" My Jaw dropped, three feet of snow in 10 hours was amazing. Rainbow started to wake up and she started limping down the stairs. "hey Rainbow how's it going?" I ask "fine" she glumly replied. "There is some toast in the toaster and some eggs on a plate in the kitchen which is right over there" Rainbow started to limp towards the kitchen and all i hear was a loud crash and several bits of glass on the floor. I jump up into the air and go directly into the kitchen. "RAINBOW! Look what you did you broke my mom's fine China!" I really did not care much for my mom's china because she always brags about it to her friends and our relatives. "Im sorry! Im sorry! I start to pick up the glass shards and sweep up the smaller bits with a broom and throw it into a trash can. I hand Rainbow her food and say. "Now Rainbow stay safe and don't do anything irrational or stupid" I run up to my room and turn on my computer. I decided since Rainbow dash was here I would watch some MLP:FIM on youtube. Just to know her better as a pony and how she acts around people like me. ------------------------------------------------------- As i finish the last episode of FIM i realized how good the show was for it's animation it's quality and most of all. Rainbow. Rainbow, for the most part was an amazing character so was everypony. I walk back downstairs and i see Rainbow sitting on the couch watching Futurama. My all time favorite show. I sat down and joined her by the accompaniment of my phone going off. I pick it it. "Honey bunches how nice it is to talk to you!" "Mom!!" "So how's it going to far? everything ok? Hope you didin't set the house on fire" "Oh it's no problem mom im doing great" "oh ok great i cant wait to see you back on Monday! I have to go now your father is Talking to a parrot right now. I think he had a little to much to drink tonight" "Ok mom bye love you!" Rainbow looked at the TV with wide eyes and started laughing wt doctor zoidbergs whooping. I smiled and Rainbow just continually kept looking at the TV. "Hey Rainbow i was thinking that we should go somewhere for dinner tonight. I was thinking the diner across the street." "Huh? oh yeah sure Nick i don't mind" then it hit me. She was a pony and i was a human. We were going on a date. > the date of a mellenium > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rainbow and I just crossed the street headed towords the diner. When we entered heads turned and words flowed "Hey! Who's that!", "what the hell a rainbow colored pony?", "get the hell outta here mate we got no place for horses" "HEY shut up awlright!! Wees gots paying coustomers". Everyone stopped talking and we sat down at the closest booth. Rainbows face was all flush red and I was mad at everyone. No one spoke to us except that one employee. I ordered a cheeseburger while Rainbow ordered a salad with red hot peppers and olives. "Woah these peppers are insanley hot. But they need to be about 20% cooler." "Rainbow hurry up already! people are starting too look like they want us to go!" I whispered loudly "Ok ok I'm finishing up" I payed at the front desk and everyone was giving us both a hard time. One guy pushed me into the wall and said I was a pony loving asshole with no life. Once we exited the diner I decided we would go for a walk in the park, even if it was like 10 degrees, and Rainbow needed her exercise. We saw two guys who both looked totally stoned. One of them had a beer bottle in his hand while the other had a wad of money stuck out of his hoody. They both looked like they were about 28-32 years old, they approached us and went up to Rainbow and said. "Ohh dude look at this guy, looks like he totally died his hair with a bucket of pastels paints" "Sha totally dude" They touched Rainbows hair and I started to get mad. REALLY mad. Rainbow just stood there dumbfounded that these two bums were touching her hair. "Stop! Get away from her!" "What are you gonna do little bro? Kill us? Hahahaha" They continued to stroke Rainbow's mane and i flipped a shit. "GET BACK! GO THE HELL AWAY NOW BOTH OF YOU.... YOU LITTLE PRICKS!" "what was that little dude? you want to fight? bring it on" I swung a punch to the guy's face and he took the blow. These guys were so intoxicated that they totally forgot how to swing a punch. The other guy raised his beer bottle into the air and tried to hit me. He totally failed, he was standing 10 feet away waving his beer bottle in the air screaming *woop woop woop woop woop* and he scuttled away from the battle. The one with the wad of cash in his pocket raised hit fist and swung a punch, At a lamp.... . He recovered from punching the lamp and swung around and kicked me in the chest. Winded of air, I slowly got back up and took his head. Smashing it into the lamp saying. "who turned the lights out?" I ran over to Rainbow and looked her in the eyes. She hugged me and said "Thank you Nick! Im sorry... I could be fully capable of knocking those guys out if i could fly" "no problem, i mean it's the least i could do to help you." We walked over to a park bench and took a seat. "it sure is beautiful" I said. The snow was lazily falling down onto the ground. The few cottages around the park were sparse, but some smoke was raising from the chimneys. I looked out into the horizon and looked up into the sky. "I sometimes wonder what it would be like if i were in equestria and i was with you" I said Rainbow Dash was up against my chest with her feathers from her wing tickling my nose. I couldn't believe what i saw. A fictional character brought into this world with her rainboom. If only we could have more time together, my parents were due back on Monday and it was only Wednesday. Rainbow looked me in the eye and said. "I don't know Nick, it's just that.. i cant be here forever and if i do.... what will happen to my friends in pony ville?" I looked into her big pink eyes. I shrugged and we continued to look out into the horizon. She hugged me closer and closer until we were almost one with each other. I looked down at her and she looked up to me. We kissed, now this is no ordinary kiss like when you come back from school waving a math exam in the air saying that you got a 100 on a test and your mom kisses you and tells you how good you are at Math. I hold her tighter feeling her feathers on her wings and her soft fur. Softer than anything i have ever felt. My hands go to her bandage on her wing. Rainbow winces but continues to smother me with her kisses. ------------------------------------------- I let go of lost dreams and I embraced new ones when Rainbow came into my life. When Rainbow came into my life it became more... Interesting i prefer to say. It was Saturday... I punched my pillow in frustration that my parents were coming home. I wish I could be with Rainbow forever. But i knew that some day in some way Rainbow is going back with or without me. They say that a Huge storm is coming from the Gulf of Mexico to New York. I hope that snow bury's us into this house never to be seen again. I know that it wont happen. ------------------------------------------- I went to the supermarket with Rainbow today and all i saw on the shelves was.. well nothing. The paranoia about the storm is actually starting to scare me it's supposed to hit tonight. I don't know what they said but it seems like an ice age is going to happen again. All flights were cancelled, the whole U.S.A basically shut off, like someone went to the white house and flicked a switch or something. > The frostbitten winter > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Today was colder than any night. ermm or morning i don't know which. All i saw outside was white, white windows everywhere. I looked at Rainbow and asked "Rainbow hows your wing?" "Oh i think its getting better every day i think i can fly soon" Rainbow attempts to lift off the ground but with a depressing thud she slid back to the ground and hit her head on the floor. "Rainbow stop doing that your seriously going to be hurt!" "Oh cmon Nick i really want to fly!!" I point to the window and she sadly walk towards the couch. I don't think were going to survive long with the fridge stocked with food. I mean sure it's a lot but i need to keep on giving her the limited supply of carrots, eggs, and toast i have left. The rest i have is a million beef burrito hot pockets and a few dozen frozen steaks. I cant turn on the stove anymore because the gas has gone dead. Im still surprised about the electricity working.And i have a microwave. But i guess that's going to be gone in a few more days of this.. this entrapment. I feel like someone just took us and put us in a cage locked us up and threw away the key. "Rainbow wanna play some twister?" i said "Sure! what's twister? can i make another water tornado?" asked Rainbow At that moment i started cracking up and laughing as hard as a hyeina "No it's nothing like that Rainbow here im gonna teach you how to do it" I take out the twister mat and demonstrate to Rainbow how to play twister. At first she kept on tripping on me. Then she got the hang of it. "Your a natural Rainbow!" "Thanks!" After another hour of mindless boring games and Futurama. I begin to play some halo 4. Rainbow watches me as i play Halo and see's im killing aliens and says "what's the point of killing stuff anyways? i mean why not make freinds with them?" I remember the whole story line for Halo and begin Laughing so hard i feel the ground rumble a bit. And i stopped laughing. But then it happened. The ground... It rumbled again.. and again. Rainbow suddenly felt the ground shake multiple times and got scared.. i mean really scared.... scarier than slender man himself greeting you at your front door. I swear at that time i pissed my pants. My pupils dilated and i looked outside of the window adrenaline hit my body like a stone wall and i felt i could jump a mile in the air. I stared competently at the window. And then i saw it. Not a face, not a monster, it was nothing. Then i looked up. ohoohooo noo. I looked up and i saw cracks in the ceiling. Large gigantic cracks in the ceiling. And where was it positioned? right over Rainbow's head. "RAINBOW DASH GET OUT OF THE WAY!!!!" I jump to save Rainbow's life and right after that, the house caved in. ----------------------------------------- My legs were pinned under all of the debris and snow. I felt that my lungs were crushed. My body was in a state of immense pain and suffering. All i could see was a blue figure looking straight at me saying *IM GOING TO GET YOU OUT HOLD STILL* I felt blood rush from my face all the way down to my arms. Scarlet red blood flowed everywhere. Puddles and puddles. I fell asleep. Forever. > A note from Rainbow Dash > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- I cant believe it he's still alive. Barely keeping hold of reality. But im here for him and i always will be. He will always be two legs to me. I got him out of the snow and wood. His legs were totally crushed., as i picked him up i went down to the basement of his house where his fridge was. I brought all of the blankets in the house into the basement. It was hard for me too look at him. I started to cry remembering all of my friends in ponyville. Nick was the only real love i had. He was the first kiss in this other dimension, He was my first real love. And now it's just slipping away from me. I don't know what to do anymore. All those fun times when we watched cartoons and movies is over. I worry about him. He's got a high fever and hit ribs are all bruised. One day i hope all of this torrential snow will stop. every day i sing pinkies smile song. But every time i try to sing it i burst into tears. That's long gone. Now i need to make room for Nick in my heart. All i wanted was to show the wonderbolts that im the best flier in equestria. And what do i get? a one way ticket to some other dimension. According to two legs its already Friday. Every day i keep on slipping from reality into this world of hatred and pain. I just want to go home and sleep on a cloud. Bring two legs with me and be happy forever. I know that's never going to happen. ---------------------------------------- It's already Saturday and two legs woke up once. He said something about beef burritos or something. I gave him a few and he smiled with delight. Slowly eating his burritos i realize something... This house, I saw this house in my dreams once. And I had great feeling when i was asleep. I felt welcomed i felt loved and no snow. Every day i get up for two legs sake. And i hope it pays off soon because my hoof get's tired from writing too much. Not much of an egghead but when i get too bored i start reading two legs his old childhood stories. Every time one of them had a happy ending he just smiled and fell to sleep. ------------------------------------------ Two legs can finally get off of his bed. He's too weak to speak to walk to far. I thought his legs were crushed but apparently not. I just want to hear him speak one more time before i write. "Beef Burrito" OK that's better. Anyways it's already Monday and i feel like i can fly again. Im not going to try anything stupid like two legs said. --------------------------------------------- Well its Wednesday. A full week after whats happened. Two legs can talk just fine now and he can walk. I feel just fine now. After all these days ive been wasting for this one. This special day. When i can fly. > Hearts Warmth > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well it's good to be back in the position of well.. actually being able to talk. I missed my voice. Even if it sounds like someone is scraping a metal hook on a wash board. It was getting late so I kissed Rainbow on the forehead and doze off to sleep next to her. ----------------------------------------------- I woke up pretty early but some someone touching my shoulder. It was Rainbow "Oh Rainbow how i love you so much" "two legs don't forget about me loving you" I give her another deep passionate kiss on the lips and she takes my shirt off. She starts to feel my abdomen and licks my cheek. She shakes her mane and accidentally hits me in the face. I kiss her from her shoulder up to her forehead where we met as one looking into each-others eye's "Rainbow i swear if anything ever happens to you i will kill you: "You would never do that" smirked Rainbow I start to tickle her arm and she starts to laugh. We lay in bed for a few minutes thinking about our relationship and how nothing could surpass it. I look at my phone and i see it has barely any charge in it. I see i still have 1 bar in here. "Wow i still have cell service?" I dial the number to my mom and nobody picks up. "I heard it buzz all of last week when you were out" I checked my voice mails and i see maby even hundreds of voice mails. All from my mom. "Honey are you there? Honey!" *end of message* "Honey if your there please say so i need your help!!" *end of message* "Please darling pick up (starts to cry)* *end of message* "Honey if anything happens to me I want to know that i lo***" end of message* "SHIT! i knew it i just knew it!!! something happened to my family! no, no no no no NO!" I screamed at the top of my lungs hoping someone wold reply. "N--N-Nick ive never seen you s-ss-so mad before" I start to weep at the thought of my yelling in front of Rainbow "Sorry it's just that my parents... they're gone....... forever" I hug Rainbow and she returns the hug "We need to get out of this hell hole one way or another. And we need to do it now" ---------------------------------------- I ask Rainbow if she could possibly big up to the surface of the snow and she got through to the top. "OK Rainbow i have an idea" "Yeah?" "Your going to do a sonic rainboom and we are going to go to Mexico" "Mexico? wheres Mexico?" "I don't know where it is but were going to find my parents" > Road Trip > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- As Rainbow get's onto the top of the snow with me. It was a barren wasteland. luckily in the house i found some tennis rackets and strap them to my feet before i get outside. I dont know how cold it was. Too cold way too cold for me. I brought some water bottles with us and when I glanced at them they were totally solid. "Well so mutch for water" I say I found an old compass in the house aswell, I pull it aout and look at it. The glass was totally fogged up. I throw it at the ground in dispair and tell rainbow to fly down south. I had no idea where south was. That way this way, i had no idea. Infinate choices. "Rainbow are you sure you can lift me?" "Yeah yeah yeah, im sure i can hold you up. Im the fastest flying pegasus in equestria anyways." Rainbow put me onto her back. As she slowly but surely took off I looked down, bad idea. I started to waver on Rainbows back and she yelped because of the unexpected surprise. "Sorry Rainbow didint mean to do that" We continued to fly in any direstion possible. As i was on her back i realized how small her figure really was. she was not scrawny or too big. She was just right. As i put my face into her back she giggled with delight. "Calm down there two legs or i might just drop you" Last night before we took off i created a saddle so i could sit on her back. Im not that heavy for a seinor in High school, I think i was about 160lbs? Rainbow started to cough. We got farther and Farther and then i started to see that there were some trees poking up from the surface of the snow. "Hey Rainbow do you see those trees?" "Yeah what about them?" "I think we got closer to the ground the snow is not as deep as it was when we were back in NY." Rainbow veered into the ground and stopped. I got off of the saddle and we took a break. "Here have some rasins" I pass Rainbow some rasins i found in the kitchen cubbord. I thought since we were going to leave that i would ransack the house and bring as mutch food as rainbow and I can carry. Rainbow starts to eat the rasins and i start thinking. Thinking of the time i was with my parents in a nice house. Warm cozy and homeley, my mom always cooked jinger bread men and my dad was wrapping presents. My sister was doing something with dolls, and me? I was in the living room looking at the TV. I loved Charlie brown, classic. Every day before christmas I watched my sister lay cookies near the chimney for Santa. Now i think of it as a dream, a dream so far away from reality it just barely touched the brim of my thoughts. "We better get going. It's getting dark and i dont want you to be tired at the end of the day." For a few more hours we walked. It started to get dark, And not just dark very dark. I layed out the sleeping bags and put mine next to hers. We saw the moon and the stars in perfect shyncronization. "Two legs, when's the sun going to come out?" "I have no idea Rainbow i have no idea at all." Rainbow comes closer to me and we start to sob in each others arms. I kiss her on the forehead and say. "You need your sleep Rainbow. I cant take the risk that your going to fall out of the sky and crash into the snow hurting your wing again." Rainbow turn over in her sleeping bag and I hug her. "how are we going to be togeather if i go away? I mean back to Equestria... I cant have that happen Nick I just cant have that happen. Weve been togeather and i want to be with you forever." "I dont know Rainbow we need to manage somehow. Maby i can come with you and trollesti..... I mean Celectia will turn me into a pegasus." We were looking into each others eyes now. And then it happened again. She kissed me on the lips. Holding me tight tighter than ever before. Like she might loose me to the torrential snow that's falling on our heads. I grab her mane and kiss her back untill i cant give anymore. Every second im with her i feel like the universe is with us, watching over us in eternal peace. I fall into an eternal rest. She stops moving and passes out to exaghtion. I kiss her on the forehead again and fall into a deep sleep. ----------------------------------- The next day we eat some breakfast. Nothing much but it was substantial. I climb back on her back and we fly. All i saw was snow and more snow. The white plains of nothingness just seem to go on forever, prolonging our adventure into a painfull raw shock test. I cant belive why people loved snow so much. I always hated it, I never liked the damn stuff. It's way to cold, but you get used to it after a while. -------------------------------------------- It's already getting late, im starting to worry about Rainbow. Her cough, it got worse as we proceeded through the day. First she coughed i dont know 5 times an hour? now she's torrentially coughing in wheezing gasps. We pulled off to the ground, i dont know what were going to do i have no idea. We walk for a few hours and it seems like it's already late in the afternoon. I look at the ground and think nothing of it. I remember watching discovery channel and large snowy tundra's with mountain tops and large.... i remember something very targe in the frozen tundras. I think it was? I dont know cracks in the snow? We continue to walk for a few more minutes. "Can we take a break Nick? please?" asks Rainbow "A few more feet and we can rest. Here we will go over to that small drift of snow." I say When we reach the snow drift i hear a sound. It sounded like someone took a hammer and hit glass. Then a large thud, I lokked at the ground and saw it.... Cracks. "RAINBOW STOP WALKING!!!" Rainbow looks at me like im insane and stops walking. "What is it Nick?" "Do you see those cracks? if you move even a single bit we could fall.. Very very very far into the snow. I saw something on discovery channel about these cracks. Oh i remember! there crevaces!!! now if you even move a bi-" I was cut off by the sound of the cracks and I looked at the ground. *BOOM* like a gun shot the cracks traveled up to our feet and we fell. Even though Rainbow can fly she was totally exaughsted from flying, we fell and fell and fell and *THUD*. Luckily i hit a snow bank that broke my fall but i look over to where Rainbow landed. She hit several rocks and her head was bleeding. "RAINBOW! HOLD ON RAINBOW!!!" I ran as fast as i could over to rainbow i saw her head had a large gash in it. "oh shit, oh shit oh shit!!!!!" Rainbow was coughing blood. I never thought anything like this was going to happen. I take off my jacket and wrap it around her head. Not aware of hypothermia at the time, nothing felt cold, everything felt so lucid at the moment like time was slowing down. As i cover Rainbows head she smiled and looked at me. "Im sorry Nick i dont think ill make it" "NO YOUR GOING TO MAKE IT HOLD IN THERE!!" Rainbow closes her eyes and she passes away. I cried, I had never thought that Rainbow Dash would ever die. As she slowly passed away i looked up into the dark crevace and screamed hoping someone would respond to my cries of help. Was it a minor concussion? major! I had no idea. All i could do was look at her disfugured stance, I cradled her in my arms, and cried. > Love will Never Die > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- As I looked Rainbow in the eyes for the last time, I shed a tear. It fell right on her cheek and slowly absorbed into her fur. I continued crying until it was noon. I closed Rainbows eyes, dropped all of my supplies and created a miniature sled out of a few bits of cloth and some tree branches I found. I put her onto the sled and slid her limp body down the large crevice, I swear it was about as cold as liquid nitrogen. Then it hit me, my old memories of me in my chemistry class. I remember the time when my best friend Josh sat next to me and unsheathed a large metal vial filled with liquid nitrogen. "Stick out your hand". He asked "No god damn way am i going to put my hand into that shit, If Ms. Jenkins finds out about this she will have our heads." "Oh come on man are you a baby? scared of a bit of cold?" "Fine! just make it quick." I stuck my hand out and when the liquid nitrogen hit my hand it felt like, like nothing I have felt before. A cold burning sensation rushed up my arm, freezing it in place. My arm was totally frozen, the blood must have cooled so fast that it shocked my immune system and shut down my arm. As I cried out in pain my teacher looked over and then the principal walked into the room, my teacher was hurriedly rushing towards my principal and escorted him outside, and looked scornfully at me and my friend. After that incident I lost one friend and a teachers respect. A very, very bad thing especially with mid-terms coming up. "Dammit, i shouldn't have left the house this was the dumbest thing I could have ever done." I continued to carry Rainbow for a few minutes until I took a break. I took some nuts and berries out of my pocket and started eating them, then I looked at Rainbow, I started wondering if I should save the small amount of food I have for Rainbow? I stored the rest of the food into my backpack and continued walking. I looked back at Rainbow and saw her mane was filled with snow. I shook her mane off, I looked at the wound on her head. It was filled with pus and blood. I walked over to the side of a deep fissure and hurled up all of my lunch. "NO, NO NO NO!!!!" All of that food, just went to waste, in this,this hell hole. I curled up to Rainbow and took the longest nap in the world, like that mattered anymore. ----------------------------------------------------- When I woke up I was started by something. It felt like it got warmer, much warmer. It felt like March, 60? 50 degrees? As I continued walking, and pulling Rainbow I actually felt like, today was going to be a great day. "Uhhhh wha what happened?" "Rainbow your awake!" Rainbow got up out of her cot and she started to fly. "Rainbow you can fly!!!" I hopped up onto her back and we soared through the sky. I started to hear a scraping sound, it got really, really annoying. I started to sway my arms around, like I was trying to swat a fly. And I woke up In a cold hellish hole. "SHIT! SHIT!! NO!!... I was so, so close" I started to cry, if only that were real. I got up and started to pull Rainbow, in the distance I could see some odd looking feature carved into a large snowy wall etched with small lines. As i got closer I saw that there was this black smoke coming from a chimney. I ran as fast as I could, making sure Rainbow didn't fall off I strapped her in with a belt. When I was running I tripped over a mine. "Holy shit!" I pulled my leg off of the mine. Luckily this one was a dud, that scraping sound wasn't just in my dream it was real. Everywhere I looked I heard scraping. That dreadful scraping, it was the mines! I carefully walked over to Rainbow and got her off of the sled. "Now where the hell would you get mines at a bottom of a crevice." As I walked carefully over to the large towering building I looked at Rainbow, she still smelled of blue raspberry's. I never took into account that she was such a fragile and loving creature. I did care about mines, I ran as fast as i could. Without thought I ran as fast as I could. BOOM, BOOM *CRASH* BOOM. These mines were so stupid, with a 5 second delay on each one they went off like fireworks, rattling my head inside and out. Large boulders about the sizes of semis fell down and crashed onto the ground shaking the whole crevice making it impossible to stand up. It eventually cleared and I ran up to the door and slowly opened it. It was as dark as ink inside of the fortress-like building. I heard scuffling and a large man the size of a bull was holding a gun point blank into my face. "Hello there good sir, Ivan! Put ze gun down I believe he is friendly, welcome to my palatial estate, as it was a month ago, it was very beautiful here, a small amount of snow here and there," "Oh uhmm it's very nice to meet you Mr?" "Dr. Dr. Yakov" "Nice to meet you, Dr. Yakov, i was wondering if you could help me and my friend?" I showed her. "Well well well what do....." the Dr.'s voice trailed off. "Well this is a very, very, very big problem..." "What? can you save her? please I, I cant have her die!" "She's not dead, no and she's, no, could it be possible?" "What! what's the problem!" The Dr. was in a state of disrepair, Ivan stared glumly at Rainbow. And me? I was terrified, I had no idea what I got into. Yakov stood up and walked over to a cabinet filled with different types of drugs. He popped a pill, two, three. And looked back. "hmmmm yesss she's still real" The doctor collapsed to the ground and got back up. "What the hell was that?" "A form of a reverse hallucination drug, or as I call it revehigh" "Are you ok?" "Yes yes do not question my authority, I am a doctor after all" "What are you going to do to her?" "I have no idea, she's not dead, or alive." "Can you help her?" "I dot know, I have no idea of what to do with her, I know she is a pony. And I have seen worse than a pony before." "Like?" "Oh nothing" The doctor wandered off into another room muttering something about squids and how they can transform into sheep. END OF CHAPTER 7
