Love Is In Bloom

"Love is in bloom
A beautiful bride, a handsome groom,
Two hearts, becoming one
A bond, that cannot be undone, because love is in bloom..."

The lavender unicorn sang into the microphone while the newly wedded couple danced outside. Everypony else were either dancing with them or simply chatting away.

The bouncy pink pony at the far end of the garden, inhaled cake by cake, a pearl white unicorn was dancing with the well known Fancy Pants. A butterscotch pegasus mare sat with the animals and birds in the garden, swaying side to side to her friend's song. A southern amber earth pony danced along with three other fillies. And finally but not least, the vibrant rainbow maned pegasus was 'hanging out' with the Famous Wonderbolts.

"Omigoth! Thif if the bef party ever!" Pinkie shouted as specks of cake flew out of her mouth.

"Pinkie, be careful, dear. I designed that dress so that it can with-stand your....craziness and bounceness. But you are over doing dear." Rarity said as she danced along with the white unicorn stallion.

"You worry too much Rare! I mean, this party is the best! Why not enjoy it?" Pinkie bounced onto the table. "Besides I will be just fi-woah!"

Pinkie's hoof slipped, and the table broke in half, flinging pieces of wood flying.

"Pinkie!" Applejack came running over.

Rainbow Dash also can trotting over, but got knocked out by a piece of the flying debris.

"Rainbow!" Fluttershy flew over. Applejack turned and headed towards her fallen friend.

"I said, love is in bloom. Starting a life and ma-" Twilight stopped and so did the music.

Everypony halted and looked around.

Cadence and Shining Armour looked up.

"Oh my goodness! What happened?"

"Pinkie happened." Rarity said as she leviated the pony up.

"Rainbow! Mother of sweet Celestia! Say somthin!" Applejack shook the unconcious pegasus.

No movement.

"Ah, please Rainbow!"

Blood poured out of the wound upon Rainbow's head.

"Shy, can't ya do somethin. I'm ya'll a vet aren't ya? Thas tha same as a doctor."

Twilight walked over, and leviated some water over.

She poured the water on Rainbow's face.

"Errr..."

"Oh Thank Luna's moon, ya'll alive."

Rainbow began to sit up.

"Ah...Where am I?" Rainbow looked at the around. "What happened?"

"Oh dear, is she going to be okay?" Cadence asked.

Rainbow rubbed her head with her hoof.
"Ow!"
Then looked at herself.
"Is-is that blood?"

"Ooo, you're bleeding pretty bad." Shining said as he brought over some hoof-kerchiefs.

Fluttershy took the hoof-kerchiefs and placed them on Rainbow's fore-head.

"Omigosh Dashie! Are you okay? You're bleeding! That's not good you could die and then I won't have a best friend!" Pinkie wailed.

"Woah woah! Calm down Pinkster. I'm not going to die, okay. I'll go and get cleaned up." Rainbow croaked as she slowly stood up.

"Are you sure you don't want me to come with you?" Fluttershy followed.

"Shy, I'll be okay. I ain't gonna die. I'll be back in the minute."

"Take care of yourself, Rainbow." Cadence called.

"Thank you Princess."






Rainbow entered the mare's bathroom on the other side of the hall, in the Canterlot castle. As she shut the door, no noise could be heard. All was silent.

She turned on the tap and began to wash away her bloodied head. The water in the sink turned scarlet red from the blood.

She looked up at the mirror to see an ominious green glow from the far side of the room.

"Huh?"

Rainbow turned the tap off and walked over to the light.

"Is anypony here?"

"HAHAHAHA!"

"Hello?"

"Love is in bloom..."

"Show yourself! This isn't funny!" Rainbow demanded.

"Oh but it is, Rainbow Dash."

"Where are you?"

A green mist rose from the ground.

Rainbow ran to the door.

"Open! Why won't you open?" The frustrated pegasus shook the door.

"HAHAHAHAHA!"

"Somepony! Help!" She banged on the door, but nopony heard within the noise of the music and laughing outside.

The mist drew closer and the cackling got louder.

Rainbow coughed and wheezed before collasping to the ground.






"Rainbow has been an awfully long time. Do you think she is okay?" Rarity asked as she sipped at a cup of punch.

"Hey! Here comes Dashie!" Pinkie skipped over to the cyan pegasus. "Omigosh Dashie! You were so long! I missed you!"

"How is that possible? I was gone for a mere five minutes."

"Yeah, but you're, like, my bestest friend."

"Please, don't plague me with your mindless dribble." Rainbow snorted before walking away.

"What's wrong with her?" Pinkie sniffed.

"She's probably got concussion." Twilight stated.

"She'd betta get betta soon. I mean she's actin like Rarity, but more uptight." Applejack said.

Rarity stared daggers at Applejack, who in return nervously smiled back.

"She will be better by tomorrow. I hope."

"She's got to get better. We've got a load of pranks to do tomorrow." Pinkie moaned.

"I'll take her home. She could probably do with some rest." Fluttershy fluttered up to Rainbow.

The others watched in disbelief as Rainbow shouted at the shy pegasus mare.

She then stamped her foot and zoomed away.

Fluttershy came crying back.

"Fluttershy? What's wrong?" Rarity frantically questioned.

"She said she doesn't want to know me anymore. She hates me." Fluttershy sobbed.

Twilight looked at the others.
"Please don't say it's what I think it is."

Applejack gazed at Twilight.

"The wound must have got her behaving differently." The unicorn smiled sheepishly.

"Ah hopes so."

"I hope so too. Otherwhise, we're toast."
