Diary of Inky the Changeling

Constant Crashes

Dear Diary,
Rainbow has lost it. She keeps crashing into stuff. Once, she crashed into Twilight’s bookshelf and got the books all over Twilight. Then, she messed up Applejack’s barn roof. Never in history have I seen something like this. One time, I had a wing ache. I decided, she probably needs to go to the hospital.

Hospital. 12:31

“Ms. Dash, have you been having flying issues?” The doctor asked. She nodded. I was starting to get worried. What if she didn’t get better?

”Is somethin’ wrong?”, Justice asked. I shook my head.

“I’m worried about Rainbow. She’s been having wing problems for 2 weeks!” I worry.

”Don’t worry, she’ll be fine”, Kindness said. But that didn’t help.

“Yeah, but...what if she won’t?” I asked. There was silence.

”Look, if she won’t be, we’ll fix her”, Justice reassured. I nodded.

“-Ahem-, Mr. Black?” The doctor was talking to me? Well, this was embarrassing.

“Oh, um... yeah?”

“Have you experienced this before?” He asked. I nodded. The doctor sighed.

“This is worse than I have thought.” He said, which made me worried.

“W-What...what’s wrong!?” I questioned. He turned to Rainbow, and to me.

“She has a broken wing, and it won’t heal until 2 weeks.” He replied. Rainbow gasped, and I stared with shock.

“S-s-She has a broken wing!? H-h-How? W-why-“ I stuttered. He shushed me.

“She has been doing to much extreme flying, is She in a certain program?”

“W-well..um...yeah. S-She’s a Wonderbolt.” I said. The doctor nodded.

“Well, until her wing is healed, she will not be able to participate in her Wonderbolt sessions or shows.” He said. That didn’t really nag me. It really, really nagged Rainbow though.

“Nooooooo!” She dramatically. This is gonna be a bad time.

Twilight’s School. 12:47
“Hmmm, Yona confused.” Yona said confused. Everyone was just staring at my misery. Gallus just patted my head. Smolder stared at me. I didn’t say anything.

“So...Rainbow has a broken wing, and she can’t participate in any flying activities. How can she teach us our parkour lesson. Some of us need to fly.” Ocellus questioned. I moaned in misery.

“I...I don’t know.” I moaned even more. I sat up and took a breath.

“Maybe...we need a substitute?” Silverstream suggested. Everyone thought that be pretty well. But WHO would be the substitute.

“Maybe, Twilight or Fluttershy or-“ Sandbar was suggesting. Gallus shut him up for a minute. He told him that they already have classes to teach.

“Well, we’ll have to figure it out.” Smolder said. I just looked down. Then, Gaster started to give me a talkdown.

”Rainbow Dash....the..competitive, annoying one, correct? Well, why do we care about her? She would only slow us down. She may be a element, but she would be useless to us and her friends, they just don’t see it. There’s only a matter of time before her friends get annoyed by her, and she would be replaced. We could even destroy her. She’d be THAT useless. We shouldn’t, or WOULDN’T care at all. Actually, we could get a head start of this. All we need to do is-. ” He was talking for too long. I slammed my hoof on the ground. Everyone was either shocked, or concerned. Ocellus was the first to speak up.

“Um...are you ok, you’ve been quiet for a while. Even when we tried to get your attention, you didn’t show any conscious.” She stated. I was in embarrassment and nervousness. I got up and flew away.

2 weeks later...
Whatever Gaster said to me, stuck to me for a long time. But a good thing is, that Rainbow’s wing got better. I was happy, but Gaster’s saying was stuck to me and the only way to let go is to tell someone I could trust.

“Hey Inky. You ok?” Thorax said. Everyone was there to make sure Rainbow’s wing was actually healed. I looked around, nodding. He gave me a look of concern.

“Inky, We all know when you’re upset. If there’s anything you want to say-“ I stopped him.

“Actually, I wanted to say something to all of you.” I said. Everyone looked my way. I wanted to say never-mind, but I didn’t want the thing Gaster said to bug me anymore. So I took a deep breath, and confessed, but I didn’t mention Gaster. I promised not to mention any of the spirits I see.

“So, I..Uh...met someone..and they were talking about...Rainbow Dash.” I said. Everyone looked at Rainbow.

“This pony was..um...saying that Rainbow would get annoying to....her friends, and said she would be replaced. Saying that, with my powers, we could’ve...destroyed her.” I paused. Rainbow gave me a confused look. I continued.

“A-And that...we could a head start on it...but when they were gonna tell me, I told him to leave. H-He did, so there’s no point to find them. It’s been..Uh..bugging me and-“

“Wait! So, you’re saying that this pony that Rainbow Dash wouldn’t be important in the future and said you and the pony could destroy her, it bugged you, and you didn’t tell us sooner.” Thorax revised. I nodded, and looked down.

“I-I just thought, Y-You all wouldn’t believe me and turn on me! I-I didn’t want that, so I didn’t tell you. It stuck to me, and it grew stronger everyone second I didn’t tell you. I-I’m sorry. I-“ Thorax put his hoof on my head. He put his other hoof around me and pulled me toward him.

“Inky, I want you to know that everytime you hide something, it makes you feel guilty. You have me, and the others to talk to. Can you please, tell us something like that.” He said. Rainbow flew over and said, “Yeah, if they were still here, I’d totally prove him wrong.” I laughed at that. I thought for a second and giggled.

“So, uh...remember we were at Celestia’s castle and someone ate her cake?” I asked. Twilight nodded fast.

“She NEVER got over it yet.” She said.

“Well...it was my pet, Gasty.” I blushed. The mane 6 gasped. Thorax was surprised. I didn’t tell them because it was embarrassing.

“So...your PET ate it?! I got accused for NOTHING!?” Pinkie yelled.

“Hey! He had a taste for cake!” I defended.

“Wait-Ocellus told me something like that. She said that Iate it.” Thorax said. I started laughing. I kinda had a laugh like Chrysalis’s.

“Seriously? Ocellus went there one time and found Celestia writing in a scroll, it was going to you. She read it and must’ve thought it was YOU!” I laughed hard. Thorax looked offended.

“What-I-Well-I’d never Celestia’s cake! Sure, I went there one time and took a little nibble but-“ He was interrupted by my hard laughter. Thorax blushed and picked me up. I giggled a bit and said, “ahh, uh-huh?” Our faces came close.

“Don’t. Tell. Her.” He said, super serious. I still giggled a little, but I agreed.

“Oh! I also met to tell Twilight that Gasty ate your favorite book pages.” I said. She gasped.

“WHAT!?!?” She yelled. I started laughing again. I had a laughing fit, before I calmed down and fell asleep.

Well, uh, that was a very weird day. Bye!
