"Rainbow I'm sorry, but it's over."

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.

'It's all over. She doesn't love me anymore.' Rainbow Dash thought to herself as she flew faster and faster. Suddenly her wings stopped working. She looked down and saw that this was the highest she had ever flown before. She began to fall to the ground spiraling out of control. Faster and faster she fell but with no way to pull out of the dive. She closed her eyes and thought of some of her comforting thoughts.

The day when she and Fluttershy got together, their wedding, adolpting Scootaloo, and all of the family outings. Those were her thoughts as she raced towards the ground. A tear formed in her eye as she plummitted downwards to the cold unforgiving ground. Then everything went dark.

She opened her eyes and found that she was still alive.

'How?', she asked herself.

She got up and started to take off but her left wing just wouldn't cooperate with her. The pain that it emmitted was the most intense physical pain she had ever felt.

'Oh Celestia no! It's gotta be broken.', she thought to herself.

'I have to get help.'

She starting running at a full gallop to search for help, but she had no idea where she was. She looked around trying to get her bearings, but she just couldn't.

'If I could fly I could easily find my way.', she bitterly thought.

She ran for what seemed like hours, but to no avail. She walked around aimlessly for days surviving on berries that Fluttershy had taught her were safe to eat. She drank water from streams and rivers she came across. Rainbow Dash was almost ready to give up when she found a road. She could finally find her way to civilization. She walked and walked until she came to the city of Canterlot. She checked herself into a hospital and got her wing reset, recieved news that she wouldn't be able to fly for a least a week, and got some much needed food and water. She checked out later that day and got into a carrige that was teamed by two pegasi that would take her home.

The carrige got her safely home, which was not Fluttershy's cottage anymore. Instead she had the carrige deliver her to her cloud house. She moped into her old home and went directly to bed. As she layed there all she could think about was Fluttershy and Scoots. Tears soon followed as she began to think of how things would never be the same again. How her life was over, and how she secretly wished that she had died in the crash, for surely death was better than how she felt now.

She cried herself to sleep that night thinking that her life was truly over, and that the fact that she was still alive was a punishment given to her for the way she had made Fluttershy cry so many times before.

She awoke in the morning still thinking she was lost in a dark and cruel world. She couldn't stand living like this anymore. She decided that it all had to end. She decided to take her own life and to let all of her pain, both emotional and physical, end. She walked out onto the cloud that supported her house. She looked down at the ground and noted how the grass looked just as green as the day when she and Fluttershy got together.

She took one last breath and stepped off.
