Rainbow Dash and her father, Spectrum Streak stood in the front yard of their cloud home. " Alright, dashie." "Let's see what you have learned." " Let's start with some flying to that cloud and back." He pointed with his hoof at a stray cloud floating a little ways from the cloud that their house rested on. " You got it daddy, I'm ready!" rainbow dash got into a take off stance and started beating her wings. " On your mark, get set, GO!" Spectrum roared as rainbow dash left the cloud, gliding through the air. The air whipped her mane around as Rainbow gained speed. she reached the cloud and touched it with her hooves. "now be careful, Rainbow Dash, landing can be harder than taking off." " I'll be fine, daddy." "I'm an expert sportspony." Rainbow started to soar back to the house. Suddenly, the wind changed dramatically.
Rainbow Dash kept flapping her wings in terror, trying to stay in the air. "Daddy!" "help!" Spectrum stared with wide eyes as her daughter started falling, and then heard a loud crack coming from a wing. " Hang on Dashie, I'm coming!" Spectrum Streak yelled. He took off quickly. rainbow flailed her hooves around, trying to slow her decsent, but to no avail. She was a foot from the ground when two hooves grabbed her. "gotcha!" Dashie heared her daddy's voice and removed her hooves from her eyes to look up and see her father flying back up through the air. Spectrum streak touched the cloud of his family's house and held a crying and shaking Rainbow Dash in his hooves. " Ssssh, it's okay, Dashie. you're safe, it's alright." He looked at her wing and touched it with the force of a breath. "OW!" Dashie screamed in pain. Spectrum rushed into the house. clearly, something was wrong with his daughter. " Firefly!'' '' Firefly!'' we need to take Dashie to the hospital! I think something's really wrong wi...'' He was knocked over by a pink and blue blur. Firefly, a bubblegum pink pegasus mare with Rainbow dash's mane, only blue, scooped Dashie up from her dad. She examined her crying daughter's wing closely. '' Spectrum, we need to get Rainbow some help, quickly.'' '' but, that's what I just said,...'' Spectrum muttered, as he got to his hooves and watched as his wife flew to the door. '' Come on, Spectrum.''
Soon, the family of three reached the front doors to the Cloudsdale General Hospital. It was a building made up of six floors, made entirely out of clouds. Rainbow Dash was sobbing quietly in her mother's hooves, wrapped up in a blanket. They approached the front desk, where a baby pink Pegasus mare with a red and white mane was sitting, reading some documents. " Excuse me?'' Firefly said as she approached the mare. The mare looked up at Firefly, who was still holding Rainbow in her hooves. '' Hi. My name is Firefly and our daughter's wing is hurt really badly.'' The receptionist peered over the desk to look at Rainbow. '' Mmm, okay I'll get you into a room.'' she then pulled out an intercom loudspeaker. '' Doctor Windglider, please report to room 345 in the children's ward immeadiately.'' '' Alright. Take a seat and relax and we'll call you when the room is ready.'' Firefly, spectrum, and Rainbow Dash sat in the squashy rain-filled chairs.
about 15 minutes later, the receptionist called out, ''The room is ready, miss Firefly.'' the family got up and followed the mare up a flight of stairs and emerged in a hallway with rows of doors on each side. they then were lead to a door with a golden plaque reading room 345. inside the room was an IV drip, a heart rate monitor, a bedside table next to the cloud bed that stood in the middle of the room, a portrait of commander hurricane, and a window letting streaks of sunlight dance on the polished cloud floor. Firefly gently lowered dashie onto the bed and stepped back. Rainbow dash had fallen asleep in the waiting room and still was. Soon, the doctor came in. He was a bright purple stallion with a curly blue and white streaked mane and tail. he looked at the sleeping rainbow dash and said ''She'll have to be awake for us to examine her.'' Firefly nodded and gently poked Rainbow with her hoof. dashie awoke with a start, but calmed down when she remembered where she was.
''Alright then. Can anypony tell me what happened?'' Spectrum Streak started telling about Rainbow Dash's fall after the wind caught her, and how he was the hero who scooped the falling Rainbow into his hooves, much to the eyerolling of Firefly from behind. After the recollection, the doctor asked Rainbow Dash how much it hurt, on a scale of 1 to 10. Dash said eleven. ''Alright. It looks like we are going to have to perform an X-ray to figure this one out.'' the doctor said. He then took rainbow dash to the X-ray room. A few minutes later, the doctor came back with rainbow and a large yellow envelope. He opened it up, and stood it on the illuminating stand and turned it on. ''Hmmm, it looks like your daughter will indeed need a cast around this wing'' He pointed at Rainbow Dash's left wing, ''For about a week.'' the doctor left and came back a few minutes later with a blue Velcro cast. and started to wrap it around Dash's wing.
later, the family was walking out of the hospital doors. They then took off, with Rainbow Dash on Firefly's back. After the arrived home, Firefly took Dashie to her room and lay her on her bed. Rainbow laid her head on the pillows as her mother brought her blue blankets covered in little yellow lightning bolts arranged in a pattern up to her. ''Sleep tight, Dashie.'' Her mother said, as she delicately kissed rainbow on her forehead. Rainbow fell asleep immediately. Her mom and dad looked at her through the doorway. ''She will be alright.'' Firefly said quietly.
