Life in the fast clouds

Rainbow Dash jumped and flew around squealing with the very though of her being a Wonderbolt. Spitfire had said to meet with her at 12:00 in the castle courtyard.

"This is gonna be soooo awesome!" Scootaloo cried, "Are you sure you want me to come with?"

Rainbow Dash stopped bouncing. She walked over to Scootaloo with a serious look on her face, "Scootaloo," Rainbow Dash said, "I will always want you there no matter what, you are the best kid ever and I'm sure you should come."

Scootaloo looked up at Dash tears in her eyes, she new she was Rainbow Dash's number one fan but she never knew Rainbow thought that about her, "Thanks." Scootaloo smiled.

Just then a golden mare walked up behind Rainbow Dash, "Hey Rainbow, how's it flying?" Spitfire asked smiling after witnessing what Rainbow had said to the little filly.

"Oh hey Spitfire," Rainbow said looking up and the pegasus, "I'm great, so uhhm, where exactly are we going? You said somewhere but I didn't know exactly...."

"Oh nowhere special, just the Wonderbolt HQ." Spitfire said smiling.

"WHAT? NOWHERE SPECIAL THAT'S AMAZINGGG!" Rainbow cried unable to hold her eager fangirl in, "Wait, is it ok if little Scoots come with?"

"Hey I'm not little!" Scootaloo yelled.

Spitfire laughed, "Of course she can, but it takes a little flying..."

Scootaloo thought, "If its only a little I can do it I know I can." Scootaloo nodded smiling, " I can do it, I've been practicing."

"Okay then follow me!" Spitfire said taking up into the air as Rainbow Dash followed. Scootaloo looked up into the air she crouched low, spread her wings and took off.

Scootaloo flew up next to Rainbow Dash smiling. It was easy flying now, she had been practicing so much. Scootaloo let out a whoop and did a small spin.

Rainbow and Spitfire flew faster as Scootaloo kept up, she had never been the best flier and this was amazing. Scootaloo flew ahead of both Spitfire and Dash laughing.

"Oh so that's how you wanna play huh squirt?" Rainbow said laughing. She sped ahead of Scootaloo.

Scootaloo saw the challenge forming and flew up to Dash's side smiling. Both stopped and waited for a signal that the race was going to begin. Spitfire laughed looking at both of them.

"Ok I want a clean race no cheating!" Spitfire said, "On your marks, get set, go!"

Scootaloo blasted off flying extremely fast like a bullet. Rainbow Dash smiled knowing she could go twice as fast but didn't letting Scootaloo keep her lead. Scootaloo flew faster and faster not thinking about it at all. Laughing louder she flew faster. Dash's eyes widened in surprise she never knew Scootaloo could go so fast if she kept on going she would beat Rainbow.

A large explosion was heard as Scootaloo fell out of the sky. Dash stopped as her mouth dropped. Dash snapped out of it and rushed down to rescue the filly. Alas, after all she tried, she failed.


-------------------------------


Beep Beep Beep Beep.

Scootaloo laid in the hospital bed, un-moving, but still alive. Rainbow had gotten to Scootaloo too late, she had hit the ground and luckily wasn't killed. Scootaloo had landed in a tree stopping her fall, but it still did hurt her.

"Look," Said the doctor, "she broke both her right hind leg, sprained her left wing, and broke two of her ribs. She got hurt real bad."

"Can't you do something?!" Rainbow said crying.

"Her body got hit by lightning which made her fall, that would kill a normal filly; the fact she is still alive is a medical mystery. Even if she is still alive she has to heal, it takes time Miss. You can't rush this." The doctor replied as he left the room and Spitfire walked in.

Rainbow Dash looked down at Scootaloo. "It was my fault," she thought, "I raced her, if she hadn't been racing she would have never gotten hit, she wouldn't be here." More tears feel from Dash's eyes. "I'm sorry squirt." She whispered.

"Rainbow," Spitfire said, "I'm sorry, I really am, the cloud.... It was defective, it shot out lightning." Spitfire wondered how it could have happened, clouds almost never fail. Thats the kind of thing your hear in movies.

Just then Scootaloo opened her eyes and groaned, "W-where am I?" She asked.

Rainbow Dash looked up and sat close to Scootaloo hugging her, crying ever so softly. She tried answering the question but was sobbing too hard to do it.

"You're in the hospital kid, when you were racing you got hit by lightning and fell, you hit a tree and have a broken leg, two broken ribs, and a sprained wing. You also have a couple of bruises and cuts." Spitfire said.

"Ugggh," Scootaloo said, "that doesn't feel too good, but do you think the blood will come out of my coat?"

That was Scootaloo, joking when she was injured beyond belief. Even if the bight was black, she found a way to put light into it. The filly laid up in bed, smiling about her joke. She looked down at Rainbow Dash, "Hey Dash?" she asked.

"Ya squirt?" Rainbow asked wiping tears from her eyes.

"How come you aren't at the Wonderbolt HQ?" Scootaloo asked.

Scootaloo, thinking about Rainbow Dash's dreams while she was hurt. Scootaloo, not caring if she was ok, but if Rainbow Dash was. Scootaloo, smiling even if she was hurt.

"I, you, were more important." Rainbow Dash said.

"But you've been dreaming before I was born, you have to go, please, for me." Scootaloo pleaded.

"But-" Rainbow began.

"No buts, go there, tell what is was like, tell me what the Wonderbolts were like, say hello to Soarin' for me, please just do it. I'll be fine." Scootaloo said.

"But," Rainbow started again. She looked into Scootaloo's eyes. God damn those eyes, "Ok, I'll do it for you squirt."

"Hey Dash?" Scootaloo said.

"Ya?"

"I love you, now please go visit the Wonderbolts." Scootaloo said as she fell back asleep.

"I will squirt," Rainbow Dash sniffled, "I will."

-------------------------------

"Ughhh," Applejack said as she woke up, "mah head."

Rarity walked in laughing, "Your head? That's no surprise, you came in absolutely drunk."

"Don't talk so loud." Applejack groaned.

Buckshot woke up next to Applejack, "Hey." he greeted.

"Ugghhh." Applejack moaned as she snuggled into Buckshot's chest, "how much did we drink?"

Silver laughed with Rarity, "Enough to sing Equestria Girls at 1:00 in the morning."

"Jus' close the door." Applejack groaned as she tried to sleep again.

Applejack snuggled in closer to Buckshot, it was nice, just being by him. Feeling the warmth he radiated. Feeling content Applejack fell asleep next to him.

Buckshot smiled as he looked down at AJ, he soon fell asleep next to her, a smile still on his face.

"I still don't understand how somepony could get that drunk and still be alive." Silver said to Rarity.

"Oh, you haven't even seen Applejack really drunk, one day we went to our friend Ditzy Doo's party, she was yelling at poles and trying to eat grass on the way home thinking it was chocolate." Rarity giggled.

"Buckshot once went up to Celestia drunk and said, 'I AM THE NEW QUEEN! CIDER FOR EVERYPONY!' he then fell over and passed out until I carried him back here, Celestia still taunts him for that." Silver laughed.

Rarity smiled at Silver, sitting closer next to him. "You really have to be the smartest stallion I have ever met." She said laying her head on his chest. She closed her eyes smile still on her face.

Silver looked down at Rarity, "You have to be just about the prettiest, most generous mare I have met." He said kissing her forehead.

Soon the house was silent, and everypony was back to sleep.
