"Mom? Dad?" Rainbow looked to where they once sat. "No... No! No, no, no! MOM!" Rainbow's voice broke as she screamed, rushing to the side of her bleeding mother. Blood was everywhere, sprayed on the seats, all over the windows... And bodies... Oh, the bodies... There were bodies everywhere... Rainbow heard her father cry out in agony as he tried to crawl out of the crushed seat. Rainbow looked and hobbled to help. She began to pull, and a loud SNAP sounded, her father's eyes glazing over...





"Dad! No!" Rainbow awoke with a scream, and Twilight immediately rushed to her friend's side. Rainbow looked at Twilight with shocked eyes, her body racking with silent, heaving sobs. "It's okay, Rainbow, it's just me, you're safe now." 

Rainbow's silent sobs became audible, as her cries of anguish became fueled with guilt. "Why, Twilight? Why did they have to go?" Rainbow buried her muzzle in Twilight's neck, as Rainbow clung to her for dear life.

Twilight hugged her friend closer, as Rainbow squeezed back, letting out gasps in between breaths, as tears continued to pour from her eyes.
