Chapter 2

Apple Jack walked into her room, Rainbow Dash still on her back, now unconscious. She then gently placed her on the soft bed, checking her body for any wounds or bruises. Not finding any, she sighed in relief. Well, at least there aren't any injuries... She looked down at Rainbow, still worried. 'Ah wonder what she needed to speak to me about... She gently nudged Rainbow, then waited. When she didn't move or respond, she began to leave.

"Urgh..." Rainbow Dash moaned, her wings aching from moving way too fast in such a short time. Apple Jack turned around, then sat back down next to Rainbow.

"Hi, Sugar Cube. You feelin' all right?" She looked at her again, then noticed the one spot she hadn't checked yet: her wings. Before Rainbow had a chance to respond, she began to gently pat her wings, checking them for any bruises.

"Ow..." Rainbow Dash bit her lip as Apple Jack touched the sore spot.

"Oops, sorry." The orange earth pony pulled her hooves away from her friend's wings.

"It's okay," She attempted to move her wings, but couldn't without an unbearable pain. She winced as her wings ached badly, the pain back again.

"Listen, Sugar Cube... About earlier..."Apple Jack looked at Rainbow with a worried look. "What did you want to talk to me about?" She then looked at Rainbow's wings, which were twisted at very odd angles.

"Well..." Rainbow Dash thought for a moment. Should she really share that information now? She thought again, then made her decision. She would tell her as much as she knew, besides that they were her parents. So, that's what she did. She told Apple Jack about the 2 ponies that were dead, and described the location she saw them at.

"Oh..." Apple Jack thought for a moment, then knew what she should say. "Well then, let's go." She offered another pony back ride, but Rainbow Dash declined. She could walk, after all.... Both ponies then galloped out of Sweet Apple Acres and headed towards Cloudsdale.
