Rainbow Dash lives an exciting life and is swiftly becoming the most daring, awesome pegasus in all of Equestria. She would gladly give it all up, though, just to confess her love to Applejack.
Rainbow Dash limped through the entrance to her home. After several plodding steps, she finally dropped the saddlebag full of jugs onto the kitchen room floor.
Her wings stretched as she felt the weight lifted off of her. With a sigh, she paced over to the bathroom and washed her face.
Several lingering minutes later, she returned to the kitchen. Her eyes reflected a veritable wall of disordinate furniture. She still had several hefty things to move.
So, steeling herself with deep breaths, she downed half-a-jug of medicine... and got to work.
Two minutes into it... not a single piece of furniture had budged.
"Nrnnnghhh... grnnfff..." Rainbow strained and strained. Despite all of her efforts, she couldn't get a couch to move more than half-an-inch. She didn't realize what the problem was until she put her wings into it. Finally she got the furniture to slide a few centimeters, but the mystery only deepened.
And then...
She leaned back, resting...
...and she couldn't feel her forelimbs.
"...?" Rainbow flexed her fetlock. A slight tingle was there, but nothing more.
Confused, the mare stumbled back to the kitchen table. She took the half-empty jug and drank the rest of its contents. The mare stood in place, waiting for the enchanted brew to do its job.
...and nothing happened.
Rainbow looked at her forelimb. Aside from a slight tingle, the hoof felt empty... hollow... almost as if it wasn't even there.
Rainbow glanced at the empty jug... then at her limbs again. Sweat bled from her brow as she bit her lip anxiously...

And the hits just keep on coming. I know we've all been waiting for Dash's little illness to be revealed to everyone, but . . . I'm not sure she'll actually tell anyone. She hasn't before. Even though, okay, I'll admit it: things are worst now than I think they've ever been. Her house, her job(s), and her limbs all gone in a couple of chapters. Ouch.
Here's what you asked for, Cotton Fluff.
... Can I swear now? Please?
Uhm… isn't bucking exactly what you can no longer do?
Uh-oh.
This ain't good.
...TIME'S RUNNING OUT.
Oh, you tease, ending it right on one of the biggest cliff-hangers in the entire story.
Remember how I said a few chapters ago this could still get worse?
It got worse
My money is on the rest of the mane 6 (minus fluttershy because she already knows) being upset with RD for not telling them about the illness
...WELP.
Looks like your body has built an immunity to the potion Dash, it might be time to get back on the medication that you were taking before.
...come to think of it, has the between act narration ever mentioned that Dash can still fly?
Still don't want Lancie to cure you? He could just snap his fingers...
Also Dash... I see what you're doing.
"Hey girls.. listen, I got a new job, it pays well but... I'll have to move away for it."
How many chapters of this story could start out with THAT title?

Mmm, but isn't this one just so deserving? Woo, this is gonna throw a monkey wrench around for sure.
How can running away be real if your hooves aren't real?
When yer racing with the clock
Well... fuck.
Actually was not expecting that. At least not so soon.
Dah, that's what happens when you neglect your medicine and limbs, Dash! Darn that Las Pegasus trip!

I don't usually like to comment on back chapters, but thank you JE for giving us a bit of realism and progression to this part of Dash's life. It's about time she beings to deal with this issue rather than ignoring it. Unfortunately, right on the cusp of a potentially awesome adventure and new career - but still something that needs to happen.
Welp.....

My money is on RD not telling them
FUCK
Of course.
Good, something's gonna change now. Something has to.
Well I suppose we knew it was coming, everyone from Nurse Redheart to Zecora made it clear that any medicine was only a stop-gap.
But still...
It hurts.
