What if, during the race where Rainbow Dash first unleashed a Sonic Rainboom, the butterflies hadn't caught Fluttershy? Where would Dashie be today if Fluttershy had died on impact?

5204893 I personally think she'd have gone into teaching, specifically in a flight academy. Maybe with one or two little quirks gained along the way.

"You can, like, do math and history and... stuff, right, but five thousand feet of altitude don't care if you can add two plus two or not, so... Gimme five laps 'round the track or you're gonna' get a one-way ticket to the principle's office, 'kay?"

"Miss Dash, what's in that bottle?"

"Juice. Really, really old juice."

5204907 I could see that. Or a weather manager with a serious drinking problem and no self-confidence.

5204918 I think it's a possibility.

She's already a cider fan, so I can't imagine it'd take too much to send her over to the other side.

5204893 ... Don't even suggest that

5204893 We don't think about that cause it makes me cry

5204893 I... can't think about Fluttershy dying. I may like RD above anypony else, but thinking about Fluttershy dying breaks me inside...

Dude. That's messed up.

5204907 Heh, that's pretty funny.
