//------------------------------// // The cutie-pox is back! // Story: Rainbow Dash hard at work // by Soarin_Dash //------------------------------// Rainbow Dash is a pony full of energy, and no pony blames her for being a kind and loyal friend, It is a very nice day in Ponyville. Rainbow Dash is busy at work clearing the skies and making sure no clouds are in sight to cause rainfall. "Never fear, your friendly pony Rainbow Dash is here!" Everyone looked at Rainbow Dash too see her sick and fast moves in the sky, Twilight and Spike came along and noticed Rainbow Dash was feeling a bit too hyper. "Rainbow Dash, are you okay?!" Twilight yelled while Rainbow Dash was zooming in the sky. "Of course i'm okay Twilight, i'm showing off my sick fast moves in the sky,nearly every pony is here to watch me." Twilight decided to watch for a while and so did Spike. "Twilight do you think Rainbow Dash is acting a bit more cocky than usual?" Twilight looked at Spike and let out a breath of relief because she now knows she isn't the only one who is noticing Rainbow Dash is acting different. "Spike, I don't know, i'm happy she is keeping Ponyville entertained, but i've noticed that she is gaining another cutie mark,can you see?!" Spike looked at Rainbow Dash and gasped. "Oh my gosh, thanks for reminding me, do you think it's a cutie-pox?!" Suddenly an idea came to Twilight's head. "Spike I think I know how to solve this, let's talk to our friends and see if they can help." Spike and Twilight wandered off to Sweet apple acres to see AppleJack. "AppleJack, can you help us?" AppleJack was in a daze,she was staring at a picture of Flim and Flam. "Twilight your ruining a moment, I am busy staring at 2 handsome yellow unicorns!" Twilight rolled her eyes and sighed. "AppleJack you do realize that's a picture of Flim and Flam, if you want to see them just go to Canterlot." AppleJack turned around and smiled. "Thanks sugar cube, I am going to do that now, but first you wanted my help with something?" Twilight smiled and is happy AppleJack is finally paying attention. "Yes, Rainbow Dash has got another cutie mark, it is a picture of some wind blowing." AppleJack was shocked and her mouth was an O shape. "Oh sweet Celestia, she might have cutie-pox." Applejack said in a quiet voice, the last pony who had the cutie-pox was Apple Bloom,she was covered in them until Zecora did a spell to make them go away. "That's what I said too Twilight, but we don't know if it really is cutie-pox." Spike was hoping it wasn't "Well why don't you ask Pinkie Pie?,she is smart." Twilight felt confident asking Pinkie Pie because Pinkie Pie is always full of answers. "Thanks AppleJack, see you around!" Twilight ran off to Sugar cube corner, it is where Pinkie likes to help out and stuff her face with cupcakes and many more treats. "Hi Twilight, are you here to taste the glory of my Vanilla chocolate cupcakes with rainbow sprinkles and strawberry frosting?" Spike licked his lips and straight away took a cupcake from the tray and scoffed it in his mouth. "They sound delicious Pinkie,but that's not what I am here for, I am here to talk to you about Rainbow Dash." Pinkie bounced up and down for excitement and started to talk and talk. "What about Rainbow Dash, are you here to tell me she got a boyfriend or that she wants to stuff her face with my cupcakes?, or is it because she has a crush on-.." "No pinkie, i'm here to tell you about how she is acting, she has now got 2 cutie marks, and I think it's because she has the cutie-pox. Pinkie looked at Twilight and her mouth turned into an o shape. "Really, oh my gosh, I'M FREAKING OUT!, OH MY GOSH!, OH MY GOSH!" Pinkie fainted on the ground in shock. "Well that went well, I thought Pinkie was gonna help me..." Twilight stared at the floor and exited sugar cube corner. "Those cupcakes were great though, you should try one." Twilight was still upset, and wasn't even in the mood to eat a cupcake. "Spike i'm not even in the mood right now, I need some help." Spike frowned and still had icing around his mouth. Twilight and Spike went to Rarity's house and decided to ask her for some advice. "Oh hello Twilight, your just in time to see my fancy looking dress, it's very eye catching isn't it?" Spike stared at Rarity. "Well nothing is more eye catching than you Rarity." Rarity smiled at Spike. "Thanks Spiky Wikey, I wish you were my little brother, or actually you and Sweetie Belle are the perfect match!" Spike looked at Rarity and frowned, he kinda new that Rarity would say something like that. "Yeah..it would be great to be your brother..." Spike tried to get over the fact Rarity said that. "I think Spike wants to go out with you Rarity, I don't think he wants to be your brother." Spike smiled at Twilight because Twilight knew how Spike was feeling. "I don't think it's the right time to discuss that sought of thing Spiky Wikey, I don't really feel like it for the moment, but thanks for the compliment anyway." Spike smiled and hoped one day Rarity would like him. "I'm not here to see your new dress Rarity, but i'm here too talk to you about Rainbow Dash." Rarity listened closely. "I think Rainbow Dash has the cutie-pox, she is acting hyper today, and she has 2 cutie marks." Rarity's eyes went wide open. "Oh my gosh, you don't want her too grow anymore!" Twilight was waiting for Rarity too say something helpful. "I can't help you I am afraid, i'm not that smart at curing ponies, maybe Fluttershy can help, she is really kind and caring after all." Twilight frowned again and hoped that Fluttershy could help her. Twilight and Spike walked to where Fluttershy is having her picnic with the Woodland creatures. "Hi Twilight, are you here to have a picnic with us?, we got loads of fruit cake to come around and plenty of room on the carpet. Fluttershy passed the fruit cake around on the soft,comfy carpet. "No thanks FlutterShy, I am here to ask you if you can help me with Rainbow Dash because she has 2 cutie marks." Fluttershy didn't have a clue either. "Sorry Twilight, I don't know what to do." Twilight laid on the floor and cried. "Why does nobody know the cure, the only person who knows is Zecora but she went on holiday and won't be back until 3 weeks later!" Fluttershy pulled a sad and felt bad. "Don't feel bad Fluttershy, it's not your fault. Princess Celestia flew down to Twilight and talked to her. "Hello my faithful student Princess Twilight, I can see you are struggling with trying too cure Rainbow Dash's cutie-pox, let me help you." Princess Celestia used her magic and teleported to the place where Rainbow Dash was showing off her fast and sick moves. Rainbow Dash got startled by Princess Celestia. "Excuse me Princess Celestia your kind of in my way." Rainbow Dash tried to zoom past her but Celestia was blocking her way. "Rainbow Dash you have got Cutie marks everywhere on you, let me help you cure your cutie-pox." Princess Celestia did a magic spell to cure Rainbow Dash's cutie-pox and suddenly all of her cutie marks went away!" Rainbow Dash calmed down a bit and felt a bit dizzy. "Thank you Princess Celestia, I think I should calm down a bit now." Rainbow Dash landed slowly on the ground. "When you are entertaining Ponyville Rainbow Dash make sure you take it easy and don't tier your self out." Rainbow Dash nodded and understood Twilight. "Thank you Twilight, i'll make sure to calm down next time."
