//------------------------------// // [9] Rainbow Dash // Story: Fate Sealed in Ink // by DeadlyKDPonys //------------------------------// Day 3. 4 days left. Waiting is not Rainbow's Fortè. She has spent the past days flying laps around Wonderbolt HQ or doing wing sit ups. The wonderbolts of course has noticed Rainbow's sudden behaviour, pushing herself that much. The pegasus finnished her 700th lap today and stopped to take a break. The rainbow maned mare was panting like crazy. 700 laps are much, but you're stepping over the line if you fly at full speed wich she did. Though Rainbow didn't care, it's the only thing distracting her from the Ritual. 3 days, it has felt like a month for her. She was about to start a new round of training until she heard the voice of her captain, Spitfire. "Rainbow dash! I don't understand what has gotten into you, but i will tell you this isn't healthy" She said, landing infront of Rainbow. "You're pushing yourself too much, you might end up knocking yourself out. And we don't want to lose one of our most impressive flyers" She said. Rainbow dash slightly growled. "I'm fine, Spitfire" She said. "You are not fine, you've been training your flank off for three days. You got to stop, How about you take the day off?" Spitfire asked her. Rainbow started to get anxious, wich is unusual for her. She closed her eyes trying to calm down. 'Chill, Dash, Chill.' She told herself. Rainbow sighed. "I can't, Spitfire. I just can't. You wouldn't understand" She said then took flight. Rainbow flew through the skies above Ponyville. Her heart starting to fill with anxiety. She took deep breaths. 'I can wait, i can wait, i can wait' She repeated in her mind. She felt bad for giving her captain the cold shoulder. Great, another bad feeling starts eating at her. 'Can i really wait?' She asked herself. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, but when she opened them she began to panic. Her vision became black and white, she couldn't see any other colors. She looked down on her hooves to see black stains, but why? What is happening?! She shook her head violently but it didn'y help she became stressed, confused to the point where she passed out.....In the sky!! --Time Skip-- Rainbow slowly woke up to a beeping sound. She opened her magenta eyes and instantly noticed she could see colors again, but she also noticed she was at the hospital. She was quite confused. Then she remembered she passed out while flying. She looked over herself and didn't see any injuries, meaning she musn't have hit the ground, meaning that Somepony must've saved her, but who? Then the door opened and a nurse pony walked in. "Oh you're awake, good to see" She said. It took a moment before Dash could find her voice. "Um, who braught me in here?" She asked. The nurse Pony looked at her. "It was a wonderbolt, Ms. Spitfire. She told me that you've been pushing yourself so we're letting you stay here till you have relaxed" She said. Rainbow bit her lip and thought to herself. "Um, can i make a rquest?" She asked. The nurse pony nodded. "Can i be released in 4 days?" Rainbow asked. The nurse pony thought for a moment. "Ok, but why?" She asked. Rainbow bit her lip again 'How should i say it?' she asked herself. "There is a special event i'll be attending with my friends then, it's the reason why i've been pushing myself. I really Don't want to miss it" She explained. The nurse nodded. "I understand, we'll release you in 4 days, Ms. Dash" She said and left. Rainbow sighed. "I hate waiting"
