The Worst Of Times

'It's all over'

The thought just kept running through her mind.

'It's all over'

Her mind began to spin.

'It's all over'

Her body began to betray her and she hit the ground hard.

'It's all over', "And it's my fault!", Rainbow Dash said, finishing her thought as she began to bawl.

She laid on the floor for what seemed like forever. The same thought running through her head. She cried all through what was left of the night. As the sun rose in the morning she got up to feed the animals. Not because she wanted to, but out of habit really. After that was done she walked back into the cottage and stopped in the doorway from the kitchen to the living room. There standing in front of her was,

"Fluttershy?" Rainbow Dash said as her ears perked up. "Where's Scootaloo at?" Rainbow Dash continued with tear filled eyes.

"She's safe at the old Cutie Mark Crusader's Clubhouse with Applebloom and Sweetie Bell." Fluttershy responded.

"She does love that place." Rainbow Dash said more to herself than Fluttershy.

An uneasy silence fell over the room. Fluttershy was standing directly in front of her, and she had obviously been crying all night as well. Rainbow Dash stood there speechless. Fluttershy was the first to break the silence.

"Rainbow Dash, I'm sorry but..."

Rainbow Dash interrupted her with, "Don't you dare apologize. It's my fault. You were right, and you're beautiful just the way you are. I'm just a monster that tried to change the best thing that ever happened in my life."

Fluttershy began to cry again as she said, "I'm sorry Dash. I really am, but I don't think I can kept doing this. Everything is just to different now."

"Please Fluttershy, just give me one more chance, please!" Rainbow Dash cried out as she fell to the floor, "Please I can change, please don't leave me."

"Rainbow I'm sorry, but it's over.", Fluttershy said in a sobbing apologetic voice.

Rainbow Dash got up while still crying, she took off through the door with a rainbow trailing her flight path, and flew up and away. Fluttershy broke down. She began sobbing uncontrollably.

Suddenly there was an explosion. Flutter walked outside expecting to see the remnants of the last Sonic Rainboom she would ever see, but when she looked up there was no circular rainbow. She looked into the distance and saw a smoke cloud.

'Did Rainbow Dash crash?' Fluttershy asked herself as she took off towards the cloud.

She approached where the cloud appeared to be coming from. She scanned the ground and found a large crater but no Rainbow Dash. Fluttershy flew as fast as her wings would carry her back to Ponyville. She gathered every pony she could and formed a search party.

After hours of searching nothing was found. Darkness had fallen on the second day of searching and still nothing was found. All of Ponyville was searched as was Cloudsdale and several other surrounding areas, but still nothing was found. The search was called to a halt after a week, and a memorial date was declared for the following week. Fluttershy and Scootaloo were crushed to say the lease. They had lost their rainbow forever.
