Bannister - Tyro

THUD

Applejacks' eyes sprang open as the noise reverberated throughout the farmhouse. The lack of warmth at her side told her that a certain pegasus who was supposed to be asleep next to her, very clearly wasn't.

She sighed and closed her eyes again. She was too tired to be dealing with bumps in the night and if Rainbow didn't want to be well rested for clearing clouds tomorrow, it was her own funeral.

THUD

Her eyes snapped open again. She knew exactly what was going on. This wasn't the first time Dash had done this, despite A.J's warnings of what would happen if she kept at it. It was silly, it was immature, it was setting a bad example to Applebloom and Rainbow was darn well old enough to know better!

But logic and reason went about as well with that feather head as a branding iron went with a newborn calf.

She rolled over and closed her eyes. Maybe, just maybe she might get lucky and Rainbow would get bored of-

THUD

Clearly this was a problem that wasn't going to go away by itself. She scowled to herself. Did Dash really think that nopony could hear what she was doing? She knew Applejack had a big day running the market stall tomorrow.

But there was still one desperate chance that she might tire of her midnight activity. One of the worst things about Rainbow Dash was also one of the best. She grew bored so easily that even if she was doing something incredibly annoying and incredibly stupid, she'd likely move onto something else before long.

Honestly, Applejack had met foals who were more mature than that fully grown-

SMASH

"OW!"

That was it. If Applejack didn't put a stop to this now, Rainbow was going to wake up the entire farmhouse and A.J would be the one to get the blame. Reluctantly, she dragged herself out of her warm cosy bed and pretended not to noticed the weight in her head and chill in her body that wanted to do nothing more than lay down and snuggle up under the covers again.

She tip toed out of her room and down the stair. Sure enough, through the darkness of the house, she could make out the form of a pegasus lying prone on the floor, just beyond the staircase. Rainbow was rubbing her head, a small side table lay overturned, and the shards of what was once a china ornament were scattered around the scene.

Despite herself, Applejack smiled a little, approached the dazed Rainbow Dash, and rubbed her head for her, gently as possible. She ought to be angry at the breakage, but there were times when Dash was just too adorable.

"Slidin' down the bannister again, huh?"

"Ow..."
