Unless you've gone skydiving, you would never understand the feeling of the adrenaline rushing through your veins; the thumping of your chest as your heart races faster than a Ferrari! This Enigmatic feeling, this feeling of being...alive! I don't know, I can't explain it. It's almost as if nothing else matters! You feel like yelling and laughing at the same time, it's insane!
I tried turning my face away from the fierce wind cutting my face, but that didn't seem to help. I had to keep my eyes on Fluttershy! After all, she's the reason I slipped over the railing in the first place! I wanted to go faster, almost as if I've been flying my entire life! I did learn a trick or two from that book I read, back on earth, about teaching baby birds to fly. Who am I kidding? I don't know how to fly! If only Dashie were here to help me! Stop, remember the episode where she saved Rarity from certain death? I have to replicate that situation! I must do it to save Fluttershy! I don't think there will be another batch of butterflies near the ground to save her... Wait a second, this is Equestria! I can evade the laws of physics! Here goes!
I began vigorously shaking my shoulders up and down, trying to get my wings to move. That didn't work! How am I supposed o know what muscles to move!? I'e never flown in my entire life! I glanced back at my wings, they were still neatly tucked into my sides. What the hell have I gotten myself into!? I can't even fly, and here I am, jumping over railing to save other ponies! Stop, I gotta think. My wings occasionally opened up, if only I could remember how to do that!
All these thoughts raced through my head in the matter of a few milliseconds. I tried everything, but nothing seemed to get my wings to budge! I scorched my face into a sneer, and thought to myself: "What's the matter with you!? You're Rainbow Dashes father! You're in Equestria! You can do anything!". With this, I felt something on my back move. I quickly glanced back, just in time to see my wings spread out, just like great big albatross! My wings were enormous compared to the wings of other pegasi. What am I doing? My wings are stopping me!
I dreadfully realized that my outstretched wing were actually making me slow down! Fluttershy was only but a speck in my eyes now! What if she'll hit the ground!? It'll be all my fault! I felt a hot gush of tears drench my face.
"No!!!" I yelled.
My wings arched backwards, causing the air to flow past them freely
"I won' let you die!!!" I screamed (I'm pretty sure the other heard me, I don't even know how)
The lashed my face and my shoulders as I shot down with amazing speed. I stuck my legs out in front of me, trying to block the wind from whipping my face. I felt a very strange sensation, almost as if the tips of my hooves were on fire! I didn't care! My mind was set on one thing: Save Fluttershy! I leaned forwards, and vigorously flapped my arched wings. My hooves were flaming hot! It spread to my forelegs and then to my shoulders and face! Then something strange happened. I quickly opened my eyes, trying to catch a glimpse of my legs. There was an amazing aura around them! Almost as if it was a mach cone! What if it is a mach cone!? I must be nearing the speed of sound! I must be getting closer to Fluttershy! (Remember, all this happened over a matter of a few seconds, so we weren't falling very long).
My whole body was flaming. The friction of the air was indescribably painful. It felt like my skin was going to be entirely torn off my body! I stretched out my body like an arrow, and the friction became o unbearable, that I started to yell from pain! At the same time, an odd electrical sensation jerked through my body, almost as if I fell into a pool with a toaster. I opened my eyes again, and I saw something that I'll remember for the rest of my life: There was an enormous Aura all around me, in the shape of a cone! I understood right away - this is a mach cone. I must be going so fast, that the air around me is flaming hot! I glanced ahead of me, Fluttershy was getting closer and closer! Electricity jolted through my body again, as I saw a strange electrical build-up forming in front of me. It spread around my entire body, and *BOOM*
"YAHOOOOOO!" I yelled, as I broke the sound barrier.
It felt like someone had stuck a stick of dynamite between my butt cheeks and set it off. I was dazzled! I didn't care about the pain, I had just performed a sonic Rainboom! Just as all these dazzling events settled, Fluttershy zipped past my head!
No! I'm flying too fast!
I spread out my wings, trying to make myself go slower. But just as I thought of turning back, I whirled around, almost as if my body knew what to do! I zipped back upwards. I had gone quite a long way down, so Fluttershy was yet again a speck in the sky. I kept my eyes focused on her, not paying attention to anything else. I felt a burning sensation on my hip (or buttocks); it felt like someone was pressing a red hot iron against me! I tried flapping my legs, but that didn't help. I didn't dare look back, I was afraid of losing sight of Fluttershy! Just as the burning sensation settled down, I spread out my arms (or legs) to try and grip Fluttershy.
This is insane, we'll get crushed to death at this speed!
I let her zip by me, yet again, and zoomed back down again. I hadn't noticed, but quite a crowd had gathered under us. It looks like my Sonic Rainboom caused quite a commotion! As I got closer to Fluttershy, I noticed a dazzled expression on her face, almost like she'd seen a ghost!
"I-I um..." She squeaked.
"Tell me later, gotta save you!. I said firmly.
"Wh-what's that on your-" She squealed.
"Later!" I yelled as I threw my arms around her shoulders.
I caught her as gently as possible. (Well, if causing her to blurt out "OOF" is gentle enough...)
I noticed the crowd below us had grown to enormous proportions ("Don't ponies in Canterlot have anything better to do?" I thought). I heard many of them muttering things like "Who is that...?" and "Is that the mare that disappeared a few weeks ago?" "No, that's not a mare, that's a stallion!" etc. I didn't want any unnecessary attention, so I swerved away from the crowd (some fillies below, in the crowd, ran after me, shouting with excitement). I easily cleared the Canterlot wall (I still was flying at an impressive speed, and hadn't noticed, until now, that a rainbow was unfurling behind me wherever I flew).
"Where's he going?" Muttered Twilight from the highest balcony of the tower (Everypony there saw everything, Scootaloo was freaking out, because of my sonic rainboom; not to mention, the force of the blast knocked them over).
"'Ah' have a hunch..." Whispered Applejack (leaning very close to Twilight's ear).
I headed straight for Ponyville (you could just about see the Apple orchards on the horizon). The sun was getting low, and just about disappeared behind the looming hills. When the last ray of sunlight vanished, I slowed down.
My heart began to race, I knew where I had to go. I had to see her. I had to see my little girl. How was I to know whether she was home or not? Heck, I didn't even know where she lived! All I had in my memory were faint images of her house, which I had seen on the show. I hadn't watched any episodes for at least a decade!
My eyes zigzagged across the country-side. I hoped I could notice something familiar, something I had seen before. The only thing more or less familiar was the silhouette of twilight's enormous tree-house.
"How do I find Dashie?" I muttered to myself.
I felt a few drops of cold sweat trickle down my neck. What if my baby girl wasn't home? What if Celestia had lied to me? What if Dashie's memories of me are being erased right now!
"Where are you!?" I yelled.
My voice echoed through the empty streets. Nobody had heard me. I hovered over to the roof of sugar-cube corner (I happened to notice it. How could you not notice a giant house made of candy?) ant sat down on top of the chimney.
"Where are you..." I sighed.
YES A NEW CHAPTER.
