I don't know how long I've been running for, but I've grown weaker, tired, and hungry. My name is Gentle Spirit, I'm just a small filly, barely even a teenage mare. And what I'm running from, a dangerous beast known as a Dragon. I kept dodging it's powerful flames, but soon I collapsed, tripping over a tree root right into a small tree opening. My heart pounded wildly as the Dragon flew past my hiding spot, but I soon closed my eyes unable to keep them open. 

I awoke after awhile only to see a bandage on my sprained wing. "Hey kid, you ok?" A blue Pegasus stated, her beautiful rainbow tail and mane moving back a bit.

"Y-yeah!" I stutter shyly as the mare sighed.

"You remind me of a friend of mine kid, she's always so shy. But seriously, there's no need to be shy kid, that dragon is long gone." She says smiling warmly at me.

I gulped a bit. "H-how did you find me?" I ask getting up.

"Cause I'm awesome that's how. Also I was flying working on my speed when I spotted ya." The blue mare stated.

"Oh... Thank you... Miss Awesome." I say thinking that was her name.

The mare laughed a bit. "My name ain't awesome, well if you look it up you'll see me kid, but I'm Rainbow Dash." She stated smiling at me.

"Nice to meet you... Miss Rainbow Dash, I'm, Gentle Spirit." I managed to get out, you see I'm not so good around other ponies, but I try to be. Rainbow dash nodded scooping me up onto her back. "Huh?! W-what are you doing?!" I ask blinking.

"Taking ya back to Ponyville, you're hurt and all so why not?" She stated taking off at such amazing speed.

I started to feel sick because I haven't eaten anything for awhile now, but soon we were in a beautiful place called Ponyville, just like Miss Rainbow Dash said, and I gotta say she's so speedy, and awesome. "We're here kid. Better get ya to a friend of mine, her name is Apple Jack, Aj for short. She's got lots of apples for ya to chow down on, I'm sure she won't mind."  Rainbow dash smiled bringing my weak old self to her friend's place.
