Chapter 5

Really, what was that sound? It's not raining, so that can't be thunder, maybe one of the old trees fell over. Might as well check it out, don't want it to have damaged anything. But what could have caused something that loud? It wasn't really a crash, it was more of a zooming sound, then a crash. Far as I know, trees don't make zoom sounds. Weird.

Well, guess it was just a tree. That's quite the pile of rubble. Almost looks like something hit it... is that blue? Trees aren't blue. What is that? What could possibly be blue on a tr- SWEET GRAVY, IT'S HAIR! There's something under there? Dig man, dig! What? A hoof? But that would mea- THERE'S A PONY UNDER THERE! Dig faster! Oh my gosh, a pony... alright, she's out. Is her hair... a rainbow? That's amazing! Wait, wait, focus man, you need to help her, what did that first aid book say?

See if the pony is conscious. Okay, then, let's see. "ARE YOU CONSCIOUS? NO? OKAY!"
Check if the pony has a pulse. Oh gosh, I hope she's not... check for a pulse, right. Uhh... there! There we go! She has one! Phew, that would be awful if she didn't have one.
Call for help. "HELP!" Wait, nopony lives here except me. Never mind that step.
If critically injured, get the pony to a hospital. Well, there aren't any hospitals here, and I don't know if she's critically injured. Well, it's not like I'm just going to leave her here. I'll carry her home.

One and two and HUP... shoot, she's really light. Wonder what she does for a living. Still, I wouldn't call this easy. Good thing the house is a hundred feet away. What time is it anyway? Guess just a little past midnight. Walkin' alooong, with an unconscious Rainbow ponyyyyyyyy... Alright, here we are. "Please come inside, Miss Rainbow Mane Pony That Fell From the Sky." Shoot, where do I put her? I guess she can use my bed, I'll sleep on the floor.

Alright, now where's the actual first aid book? There we are, I'm sure they have things on pegasus crashes.
First aid for pegasus crashes: Heh, there we go. This book is specific.
Pegasi are taught to land on their back, choosing to injure their wings other than their body. Therefore, the most commonly injured parts in pegasus crashes are the wings. Huh, well I guess I gotta check her wings then. Eugh, that looks pretty awful, let's see what the book says about broken wings,
If the wings are broken, fold them against the body and tie them tightly with gauze. Do I have any gauze? There is that cabinet full of health related things... there we go, gauze. Alright, roll over, Rainbow Mane pony, I need to fix your wings. Gosh, she must have crashed hard. These look awful.

Alright, just fold them against the body... crap, not so abrupt, Cloud, you'll hurt her. Just nice and slow... there. Now for the wrapping. How in the name of stale bread am I going to do that? She's not sitting up or anything. I guess I could roll her over the gauze and let it wrap itself. Yeah, I guess that works. I wonder how far out she is? She could wake up any second now. What if she woke up now, while I was literally rolling her in medical supplies? That would be a strange first impression.

Okay, everything other than the wings seems okay. Can't really tell as far as internal injuries go. Guess I'll ask her when she wakes up. Maybe I should go to bed myself, been up all night, anyway. Wait, but I don't want her to wake up with me on the floor. Guess I'll just stay up until she wakes up. Eh, not like that's a bad thing, I've got Daring Do to read.

Wait, what? Where am I? Seems like I'm just floating in nothing, I've gotta be dreaming. Wait, where'd that come from? The nothing's gone now, now It's some kind of dark stuff pushing down on me. The dark stuff hurts a ton. Then, all of it is taken away completely for some reason. "A OU OUS? O? A!" What was that? Man, this is a weird dream. Then the dark stuff is back, but it doesn't hurt that much now. It's more warm. "EL!" What is with these weird sounds? What could this dream mean?

Now I feel like I'm floating. Great. That makes perfect sense. The weird sounds are back, too. "Es me ide, is bow ne ony t ll o e ky" It's like a different language, wonder if It's some sort of secret agent code? Then I stop floating, and I'm on a cloud. I don't even know what I'm doing on a cloud. Then I roll around on the cloud for no reason at all while my body is covered with more cloud. Now I'm laying on a cloud, and wrapped in a cloud, and can't move. I. Don't. Get. It.

Then I guess I got out of the dream, because I don't remember anything past that until the point where I can feel my wings hurting. Celestia, hurting is an understatement. It's like they were ripped out. I can also feel some kind of warm thing enveloping my entire body. At that point I wake up.
