Rainbow Dash's Nightmare
Rainbow Dash stood alone, in the deep dark. The kind of dark that can only exist in a dream. The dark that consumes not only light, but soul and mind. The floor below her was just barely visible, as a light somehow shined from nowhere. It almost seemed to come from her very eyes. Whatever she looked upon was just barely visible, and had a rusted brown look about it.
She looked ahead to see a rusty iron door, made of a dozen or so metal bars. She walked through the door, not even aware of her surroundings. She opened the door without even touching it, as though it had opened for her. She did not question this, as this is the logic of a dream.
As she proceeded into the infinite darkness, not even aware whether she was really moving or not, she suddenly heard a half-familiar voice in the distance and continued onward. The voice was a bit tomboyish, but definitely came from a girl, a little filly maybe. It reminded the pegasus of herself as a little filly.
“Mommy? Where are you mommy? I can’t find the rest of you mommy.” Said the voice.
She finally came to the source of the sound. A small pony stood in front of her, turned away. She was dark orange, still with the same rusted tone of the rest of the world. Her mane and tail were purple, and again rust tinted. Rainbow Dash knew the little pony, but couldn’t put her hoof on who it was. She knew exactly who it was, but the world around her simply would not allow her to know right away.
The filly turned, and kept asking the same question. Rainbow Dash looked in horror, terrorized by the little one.
“Mommy? Where are you mommy? Mommy?”
Rainbow Dash’s jaw fell open, and she shivered in fear. The filly’s eyes were gone, gouged out and turned black as tar. She continued to speak, but held something in her mouth. The voice echoed from the little pony, even though her mouth did not move.
“Mommy?”
The small pony had a disembodied head in her mouth, held by the mane. The head had the same unholy eyes as the little filly. The head in the pony’s mouth had a white coat and a black mane, still with the grimy filter of this world. The pony dropped the head as the head’s black eyes and open mouth began to glow.
The little familiar filly slowly walked toward Rainbow Dash, and the head made a low scream as Rainbow Dash fell onto her back and tried to crawl away backwards. But she could not move, as her hooves simply scraped across the ground.
“Mommy? I can’t see you mommy? Is that you? Mommy? I miss you mommy.”
Rainbow Dash didn’t understand why the pony was saying what she was, only that she had to get away from it. The little filly reached the Rainbow-maned mare and hugged her while looking into her eyes. The little foal’s eyes shined a beautiful light, a shimmering light. Hre eyes almost seemed to be a gateway into another world, one even worse than this one.
Her mouth opened, as did Rainbow’s. The foals to speak, Rainbow Dash's to scream. Rainbow Dash was breathless, but felt something warm. She was feeling the sunlight on her face where the foal’s eyes shined. Her mouth held no teeth, only darkness. Shimmering darkness that was simply hypnotizing. Rainbow Dash could not look away from the fillies eyes.
“Mommy?”

Inside Rainbow Dash’s cloud home, Scootaloo had been sleeping over with her idle. Rainbow Dash did not have another bed, so Scootaloo slept next to her in her bed. Scootaloo awoke in the morning, Celestia’s newly risen sun beaming through the window.
Scootaloo had good reason to have Rainbow Dash as her idle. Not only could she do something she herself wanted to, fly, but she was the best at it. She joked around with Scootaloo every now and again, but she always meant well and looked out for her. Scootaloo loved Dash like a mother, and had even had a dream about such things the previous night. She would have never told her though.
She yawned and greeted Rainbow Dash. “Morning Rainbow Dash.” Rainbow Dash didn’t reply. “Rainbow Dash?”
Scootaloo crawled up on top of Rainbow’s chest to wake her up. Scootaloo lightly shook Rainbow Dash before seeing that her eyes and mouth were open.
“Rainbow Dash are you okay?” She shook her again.
Rainbow Dash’s eyes were no longer the bright, beautiful magenta they once were. They were now a light grey, as if the life had been instantaneously drained from her body. Her mouth was stuck open, and her body was hard and stiff, like she’d died screaming and was long since dead. Her coat was not as bright as the day before. It was now almost grey.
“Rainbow Dash wake up. Dash? Dash this isn’t funny, wake up already.” Scootaloo put her hoof above Rainbow Dash’s mouth, and did not feel any breath. “Rainbow Dash? No! Rainbow Dash!” Scootaloo panicked, and began to pound on the mares chest. “COME. BACK. RAINBOW. DASH!”
Scootaloo sunk her face into Rainbow Dash’s cold body and sobbed. Rainbow Dash’s eyes slowly rolled down to look upon the crying filly. The filly looked back up, and stopped crying as she saw that she was not dead. Scootaloo blurted out her feelings in a single word. She’d wanted to say this to Rainbow Dash for as long as she’d known her.
“Mommy?”
Rainbow Dash was still not able to think after what the filly in the dream had done to her. She could not tell the difference between that filly and this one. Rainbow Dash said her final words, gripped in terror and confusion, and out of breath.
“Get...away from me...monster.”

I will gladly take these as complements.
You should make a sequel. This has still a lot of potential
Like I said. You have some weird fucking dreams....

THIS is how my thought process went for turning the dream into a story.

bullshit ending... that is all i have to say on the subject.
Aw
I was hoping to see a sequel from Scoot's point of view. Poor filly, having your idle and the one you called your mommy....call you a monster...that's sad...

Care to elaborate?
1199171 just didnt like the ending is all... the ending was horrible, i mean. scootaloo is now despised by her idol and rd cant tell her from a nightmare. it is pretty screwed up... but it was a good story nonetheless. but i just wish it had a happier ending. that ending sucked. but who am i to judge considering i am in the process of writing a fanfic where one of the mane 6 (yet to be determined) kills them self, and how their friends cope. it will have a sad ending. but i am getting off topic. i just thought the ending wasnt very good. but that is my opinion... you are a good writer.

I simply didn't think it would fit to have such a terrible dream with such a happy ending. I'm not a fan of happy endings. I know that sounds weird, but the truth is that most of the time, things don't turn out all happy smiles and sunshine. Also, I like sad endings. I think that (at least for me), sad endings bring out more emotions in people than happy ones.
Happy endings: "Oh, well that's nice. I like that."
Sad endings: *cries* "Why?"
Edit: Thank you by the way.

Thing is, Rainbow Dash is dead...kinda makes a squeal difficult.
G-god. Lat time I had a dream like this, Rarity falls off a cliff and the sun explodes, killing everyone. But, this is, a great thing to read at 1:30 in the morning.
This reminds me of that Doctor who episode form season 1! The kid has a gas-mask on and keeps saying '''Mommy? Where are you mommy?'' xD Nice story though!

She's dead at the end? I didn't get that at all. I mean, she speaks to Scootaloo, yes? And yet she's apparently dead.
Odd, that.

Copied and pasted directly from the story. 'Rainbow Dash said her final words'. Final words. Dead. Deceased. No longer with us. Synonyms are fun.
you said this is based on a dream you had. I think that you ate some expired food or was sick some what because this is trippy. But good

I thought that too, I'm pretty sure I didn't though. Not the first time I've had a dream like this.
Dammit.
I hate it when im looking for a sad and heartfelt story and then i run into stuff like this that gives me nightmares.
eh... good story though.
Good lord... I WAS going to go to bed after I read this...
now I think I'll just play Slender until I leave for work. Who needs sleep anyways?
It was a good story, I AM happy I read it. In the same way I'm happy I read My Little Dashie. Kudos to you, will follow.
There are no words to describe the way I feel right now........

Please tell me how you found my story so deep in the story pile of this site. I legitimately want to know.
Well, okay. My friend told me about a story and apparently there's more than 1 story about rainbow dash's nightmare so I clicked on one and here we are! I really like your story after thinking about it for a bit.
I've had a similar dream like this before.....*shivers* anyway you should know I'm only 12 years old.
btw do you think you could check out my first story once it gets approved it would mean a lot to me if you did I really want someone else's opinion on it
PWETTY PWEASE
That must have been a scary dream even I have chills
OMG I really hope u do make a sequel
Well. I don't say this, like, ever, but your mind is twice as screwed up as mine, my friend. I mean, I've had dreams about my parents trying to kill me, but this was intense!

I loved that episode! I thought that it was hilarious!...but it could've been the reason that you had this nightmare.
Son of a bitch, turning "mommy" into a bad word....... I love it
