Spitfire lay at the edge of a cloud with her head on her hooves. Over the last week, the facade she put on each day as to not put more stress on Rainbow Dash slowly ebbed away at her. The trauma of losing her wings so suddenly slowly cracking her open like an egg. She just couldn't deal with it anymore. She couldn't work or fly with her lover. She felt so.... helpless. Needless to say, Spitfire’s mind wasn't in the best of conditions. So every day she would just sit out on the porch looking at the ground, only a leap away from ending her entire suffering painlessly. 'I have nothing left... Nothing at all,' she thought to herself.
She doesn't love you....
'What are you talking about?'
Rainbow Dash? She doesn't love you; you can't fly.
'No! She does love me! she promised me.'
No, she doesn't.
'Yes! Yes she does. I know it!'
She needs someone who can keep up with her. You can't.
'She doesn't care about that kind of thing!'
Yes she does and you know it.
'No! No, she doesn't. Now shut up!' The voice continued to mock her. Laughing at her pain of when Rainbow would break up with her. It was never ending; however one line was the last straw.
I can't believe you fell in love with such a slut!
'NO! SHUT UP!' After that. Spitfire lost the internal battle. She couldn't deal with it anymore and with that thought, Spitfire let herself tumble off the cloud, slowly free falling to her death. Death.... such an easy escape from the real world. As she fell, for the first time in that last week, she knew that all the pain would soon be over. With the wind caressing her face and her mane whipping behind her, It was almost like she was flying. Spitfire actually was happy. (Oh snap! Get it, because she snapped.... Never mind.)
-------------
A little farther away however, Rainbow Dash was less than happy about watching her wife to be plummeting off of a cloud, but this time.... she was going to catch her. She spread her wings and took flight, desperate to catch up with her falling wife. Gaining speed, she easily closed the gap between them and just before Spitfire hit the ground, Rainbow caught her. Unfortunately she was thrown off trajectory herself by the extra weight and crash into the ground with an unceremonious 'thump'. Rainbow got up seconds later and immediately regretted it, feeling a sharp pain in her left hoof. She prodded Spitfire with her other hoof, calling out, "Spitfire? Spitfire, wake up!"
"Uhhh, am I dead?" Spitfire moaned.
"No.... no you’re not dead. Why?" Dash asked, confusion showing on her face.
"Because I just jumped off a cloud, duh!" Spitfire instantly bolted upright and put a hoof to her mouth.
"You what?!?!?" Tears started to form in Rainbow’s eyes.
"I'm so, so, so sorry! I don't know what I was thinking!" Spitfire tried apologizing.
"Are you telling me you didn't know what you were thinking when you jumped off that cliff? 'Cause it came in loud and clear when you told me!" The anger was clear on Dash's face.
"I know, I know, and I'm sorry!" Spitfire didn't even know what to apologize for anymore.
"Sorry doesn't save your life, Spitfire!" Rainbow reprimanded her.
"Please don't yell," Spitfire squeaked.
"What!? Do you expect me to talk calmly after just seeing my wife jump of a cliff? I can't talk calmly!" Dash wasn't even close to being done yelling.
"Then please try!" Spitfire pleaded.
"No! No I'm not going to try and talk calmly!" Dash wouldn't accept.
"Look! I'm fine; nothing happened! I'm safe" Spitfire tried to convince her.
"Don't tell me your fine! You just tried to commit suicide!" Dash rebutted.
"..." Spitfire had nothing to say.
"Did you even think if I wanted you dead?" Rainbow asked, the tears forming again.
"..." Spitfire just sat there awkwardly.
"Did you ever think of what I would do?" Dash was now openly crying, "You could have DIED! That doesn't sound 'fine' to me, Spitfire."
"Okay," Spitfire said, determination showing on her face.
"Okay? What the buck is that supposed to mean, Spitfire?" Rainbow was still crying.
"Well, do you want to know why I did it?" Spitfire asked, wincing a bit at the last comment.
"Yes! By Celestia's beard why'd you do it?" Rainbow demanded, throwing her hooves up to make her point.
"Because...." Spitfire started.
"Because why?" Rainbow Dash interrupted her.
"Because I thought you didn't love me anymore..." Spitfire finally said, lowering her head once more.
"..." Rainbow Dash just shook her head.
"You need someone to keep up with you and I can't do that...... No wings," Spitfire explained, looking at her own bare back.
"You really think I'm that shallow?" Rainbow couldn't even express the feelings she had at the moment; she wanted to either strangle her, make love to her, or a mixture of both..... She ended up slapping her across the face.
"Ow! What was that for?" Spitfire held a hoof to her cheek.
"That was for jumping off a cliff and this..." Rainbow kissed Spitfire passionately before adding, "Is so that you know that I'll always love you. I'm here for you, Spitfire! You've been there for me countless times. You don't have to resort to suicide!"
"So you still love me?" Spitfire asked hesitantly.
"What? Saving your life twice still doesn't prove that?" Rainbow Dash made light of the situation.
"No... It does," Spitfire concluded.
"However, I don't think I could live if you died," And with that final note, the two kissed again. (And then nothing sexual happened.)
