It was a wonderful day, the wind was blowing, the birds were singing and the ponies were on their way to do their routine work, a day like any other.
Instead our 6 favorite ponies were asleep super drugged, hours had passed and they were still lying there doing nothing.

Finally, Spike began to worry that they were still asleep, it was already going to be noon, the dragon had to do something about it.
Spike walked over to Twilight's bedroom door and banged on the door as hard as he could. The door was locked so he couldn't go in. "I'm getting worried, it's already 1 pm and they're still locked in there" said to himself.

Spike kept banging on the door, until Rainbow Dash was the first to get up, she didn't remember much of what happened yesterday and her head hurt a lot, the sound of the door bothered her a lot.

"Whoever is banging the door, CUT IT OUT" said Rainbow Dash raising her voice and being a little stressed.

"I didn't want to bother you RD, I was just worried that you girls were still there" Says Spike.

While Spike was speaking, Rainbow Dash walked to the door to open it, after long she was looking Spike square in the face.

"You shouldn't worry, it's normal when you inject... those... adult sweets" said Rainbow Dash nervous, scratching her mane, desperately trying to change the subject "So buddy, what hour is it?" Ask Dashie with a no worries face.

"It's 1:20PM, I don't know how you all can live without breakfast, I couldn't stand it" Spike said as he ate some gems had collected not long ago.

"WHAT?" Dash asked rhetorically, surprised at the time, SHE HAD A TRAINING WITH THE WONDERBOLTS LIKE EVERY WEEK.

"I SAY" Spike was about to repeat what he said, but Rainbow Dash put her hooves in his mouth.

"I MEAN THE HOUR, are you sure is 1 PM?" Dash ask very scared of how will Spitfire reacts.

"Yes, you can check it with the clock that is right there" Rainbow Dash takes a look at the clock and realizes that what Spike said is true, Dash was going to be late, an hour late to be specific.

Rainbow Dash began to sweat from nerves "Oh shit, SHIT!" The cyan mare tells to herself as she gets into flying pose and goes at full speed to the academy, luckily it's not that far.

Rainbow was flying at full speed to Cloudsdale, on the way, Scootaloo greeted her from below but Rainbow did not notice her and continued on her way.
Upon arriving at the academy, RD realized that the training started without her, so quickly went to the locker room and put on her Wonderbolt uniform quickly.

Suddenly when RD went to Spitfire, who was at the edge of the airstrip, Rainbow Dash had a headache and couldn't see clearly due to the effects of the heroin.

"Oh, Rainbow Crash, you're late again, mind to tell why? Said the captain of the Wonderbolts as soon as she noticed Rainbow's presence.

The cyan mare tried to generate a response but the headache did not let her think clearly.

"I can assume it was because of the concert yesterday... I don't know what's really happening to you Rainbow, you're late and sometimes you don't even show up here, is there anything I can help you with?" Asked Spitfire worried.

"I... I'm ok really, nothing serious..." Said the coolest pony enduring her pain and trying to clear sight with her hooves.

"We'll talk later, I need you to line up with the others, as always you go ahead and guide them through the clouds to clear the sky" Spitfire blew her whistle to get everypony attention. "Ok everypony, Rainbow Crash just arrived, so we'll repeat the process, line up NOW" Spitfire whistled again.

Everypony was in their positions except RD, who got behind Soarin, inadvertently, her blurry vision makes it difficult for RD to make out a pony that is almost the same color as the sky along with the blue uniform.

"Rainbow Crash, what are you doing? Your position is in front!" Said the captain of the Wonderbolts.

Rainbow Dash got into her correct position, although it took her a while, Soarin had to help RD to position herself.

"Finally... Ready... Steady..." Before Spitfire says GO, Rainbow Dash began to feel tired, hungry, all that mixture of sensations would do nothing more than hinder her performance, but she was willing to continue until the first break.

"GO!" When Spitfire gave the signal, and her teammates began to fly for around 5 minutes, Rainbow Dash's body weakened little by little, she forgot to bring adrenaline with her to stand firm, had left it in her locker.

There came a point where RD didn't even know what she was doing, where to fly, and the directions to follow.
The cyan mare had nothing going for her, vision was blurry, her head ached, hungry, she was forcing her body too much

"Rainbow Crash, what's wrong with you? You're flying in the wrong direction, you have to go to the clouds and clear the sky with your team, quick, join the others!" Spitfire said annoyed and worried about Rainbow Dash, she kept wondering what was happening to her.

When RD was trying to rejoin the team, had crash into Misty Fly.
With the blow Rainbow was stunned and flew towards a column that formed the flight track and collided directly and fell to the ground.

"OUCH!" Said RD while on the floor breathing heavily and scratching her head.

All the Wonderbolts and the captain ran and flew towards RD, they all looked directly at her, she didn't look so bad.

"Are you ok Rainbow? Sorry but you flew directly to me for a reason, I couldn't dodge you at time" Said Misty Fly.

"I'm okay, it's my fault anyway..." Rainbow answered as she got up.

"Rainbow Dash... something is happening to you and no longer need to hide it, not only don't show up, I have also noticed that your performance has dropped a lot, if you're not interested in being a Wonderbolt, can just say so"  Said Spitfire taking off her glasses looking straight into Rainbow eyes.

"How I can say this..."

"Just tell us the truth" Spitfire replied.

"I... I'm... I'm a drug addict..." Rainbow Dash looked down.

Everypony was surprised when the cyan mare said that, Spitfire sighed, turned around and said "Follow me, I need to talk to you in my office" Rainbow Dash follows the captain, expecting for the worst, her Wonderbolts fellow whispered.

"She's in trouble right? I can't believe Rainbow Crash is a drug addict" Ask Fleetfoot

"Surely, you saw the expression that Spitfire put on? I don't know if Rainbow will get out of this without being expelled" Replied Soarin.

**

"So, you do drugs, prostitute yourself to get quick and easy bits. You have changed and for the worse, the fact that you prostitute yourself is your business, I have nothing to say about that. But your addiction to drugs is not something that affects you, it also affects us, we cannot make presentations or shows if you are in those conditions, your performance today was terrible Rainbow Crash. And you know that you can die from an overdose, are you even aware of that?
" Says the captain bringing her front hooves together.

"I am aware of that and I know that I have screwed up, but I can promise you, I will do my best to try to consume less and give my best in training" replied Rainbow Dash trying to justify herself.

"Don't make promises you can't keep, I know if we just leave things as they are you'll stay the same.
I respect you and I don't regret having accepted you into the Wonderbolts, but you can't afford to tarnish our image as elite fliers, you know how influential we ponies are"

"But..."

"Let me finish, I'll give you 6 months to go to rehab and leave your addition, if you continue the same, I'll have no choice but to expel you, that also means that you won't be able to show here during that time, is that clear?"

"There's must be another way, you can't..."

"There is no other way, dudodidudodaaaa! do you know what happens to those who fly while they are high? END UP IN A FULL BODY WING AND HOOF CAST DRINKIN' THROUGH A STRAW"

"Again with that..." Said Rainbow Dash to herself.

"Maybe you think that" Spitfire tries to imitate Rainbow's voice "I'm cool, I take drugs like the other ponies because I'm so cool, the coolest pony of all Equestria but then you wake up and realize that you END UP IN A FULL BODY WING AND HOOF CAST DRINKIN' THROUGH A STRAW. I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR?"

"Yes..."

"Good, you can retire now"

Rainbow Dash left the academy with teary eyes, she waited to go outside to finally let a tear escape.

"I can't believe it, everything I lived through, everything I had to go through to be accepted at the academy, without this I am nopony!" The cyan mare said out loud while the other ponies looked at her worried.

Rainbow Dash began to run at towards the edge of Cloudsdale, she launched herself at full speed into an electrical cloud trying to commit suicide.

"MY LIFE HAS NO MEANING WITHOUT THIS" Said RD impacting directly with the electric cloud, knocking her unconscious as she fell from the sky.
Her body landed in the Everfree Forest leaving a large crater in the ground.
