//------------------------------// // Tingly // Story: Appledashery // by Just Essay //------------------------------// Rainbow Dash woke up, gasping. The tingle in her limbs had spread to her neck in a rush, and she felt every warm droplet of sweat trickling down her body. Dull gray light wafted in through the windows, signifying a sleepy morning. Rainbow Dash trembled. She brushed her hooves over her face and muzzle, sighing. Silence. Using her wings for leverage, she propped herself up, standing amidst haphazardly arranged furniture in the foyer. Her dull ruby eyes lingered on the material. She reached out and—with half-hearted effort—attempted moving an empty dresser. She couldn't get it to budge an inch. The mare glanced at her hooves once again. If her eyes were shut, she'd have almost no idea that they were lingering in front of her. Rainbow's ears folded back as she pivoted about and glided towards the bedroom. After a bit of fumbling, Rainbow Dash managed to slip on a saddlebag. Using her teeth, she grabbed her satchel of Las Pegasus bits and slid them into a side-pocket. She was about to leave—when she caught a flicker of blue coat hairs. She lingered in place, squinting ahead. The alicorn goblet lingered on the edge of the last dresser left in her room. It reflected Rainbow's lethargic face until she was tired of looking at it. Clearing a lump in her throat, Rainbow finally wrenched her eyes from the object... ...and left the house, gliding towards Everfree Forest.
