> You invite dash to brunch during your group workout sesh...

> Just a small meal, nothing big, sometime during the week... Just as friends

> Dash blushes like a ripe tomato, she's very nervous

Dash: you sure anon? Just you and me?

Anon: yeah, I don't see what the big deal is....

>dash speeds off after practice

> You see her disappear behind the horizon

Anon: that was strange... Oh well

> Next day

> You go to the agreed restaurant

> Enter the main doors, ask waitress in charge of tables if she's there already

Waitress: dash company of two, right this way

> You see her

> What do?

Dubs or 7 decides

 

> She notices you, a slight smile emerges from her figure

> You smile as well and turn around, back towards her as if you were leaving

> You begin to moonwalk towards the table, using the adjacent windows as a guide on where to stop

Dash: hahaha...anon you idiot!

Anon: hey dash, relax. It's not like there is anyone else around

> She cocks her head to the side inspecting the room... Indeed, the place was empty, except for some old couple at the other side of the restaurant and you

> The old couple was to invested in their meal to notice your dance moves

Dash: well, I guess your right... Come on let's order

Anon: hold on, let me check out the menu first

 

A) garden salad, side of soup

B)omelette, choice of toast or hash

C)large bowl of today's special soup [cream of broccoli]

D) chefs choice

 

Dubs or 2's decide

 

> You inspected the menu

> Everything was expensive, you yelled at yourself internally for choosing the restaurant

Anon: fuck...

Dash: what anon? What happened?

Anon: nothing dash, it's just.... I don't know what I want...

Dash: well I was going to get a small salad and a Belgian waffle, you wanna share?

Anon: no, it's ok... Just give me a sec

> You flip through the pages, inspecting the photos and choices

> You finally decide on some eggs, sunny side up

> waitress comes back with some water suspended in her magic

> as she sets the cups down, one spills on your lap

> all over the menu and your favorite jeans

Anon: fuck that was cold!

Waitress: OH, IM SO SORRY! Please... Let me help you with that

> she ran back to the kitchen and came back with a towel of some sort

> she handed you the towels, blushing like mad

> you dabbed and soaked up as much liquid as possible

> after you finished you looked back up at the waitress

> she was still blushing

> you looked at dash, then back at her

> you picked up the damp menu and shoved it in your mouth

> you chewed and swallowed the whole thing as dash on looked.

> dashes mouth was agape, she was in pure shock having seen you ingest the menu

> you look at the waitress who is clearly having a panic attack

Anon: there! Now your not the only embarrassed one

> the waitress regains some of her composure

waitress: w-well... T-thank you for t-that

> she rushes back to the kitchen with your orders

> time to direct your attention to dash

 

Dubs or 5 decides what do

 

Dash: what the fuck anon? Your so fucking strange!

> dash laughed and said with a grin

Anon: let's just eat our lunch and forget about it

Dash: ha, I'm never gunna let you live this down! That was great

Anon: shut it

> it's relatively quiet after that

> within five minutes after the menu eating, the waitress returns with your food

> she even brought an extra side of pancakes as some sort of thank you

Waitress: on the house! Heh heh

Anon: why thank you!

> she returns to the kitchen

> you and dash partake of the meal

> you're both stuffed... Satisfied with the meal, you pay and exit the restaurant, making sure to tip extra for the menu

> you are now outside the restaurant with dash

> neither of you have to work today so the choices are endless

 

Dubs or 4's decide

 

> you and rainbow are in the parking lot

> you both walk and talk, slowly making your way to who knows where

> you finally inquire of your next destination. A slight hint of anticipation coats your words as you throw suggestions at her.

Anon: do you wanna go to the mall

Dash: nah, besides... I only brought enough bits for lunch

Anon: the fair? It's in town right?

Dash: eh...

Anon: want to head back to my place? We could watch some sports or something

Dash: I guess...

> she frowned a bit....almost as a sign to tell you your ideas were getting better

Anon: maybe I could watch you fly? Your skills always impress me

> you said this without implying anything, but dash took it as flirting and began to blush

Dash: well if, you'd like too.... I've been working on some new tricks

Anon: yeah, I'd love too. Let's do that

> you and rainbow walk 3/4 of a mile to the nearest park

> you lay down, propping yourself up with your elbows underneath a large shady tree

> dash remains in the field, hoof deep in well kept lawn

Dash: you ready anon?

Anon: yeah, let's see what you got

> with that she sprang into the air and took off, gaining altitude and climbing at an impossible rate

> you gazes on as she peaked somewhere above the stratosphere

>you squinted, shielding your eyes from the brutal sun

> she began to plummet, spinning in a fast corkscrew, almost like a damaged plane

>you could see her rainbow mane streaking behind her

> she was going fast..... Too fast

 

> She cut up at the last second, grazing the ground with her stomach

> she kept her figure and soared back up almost making a complete loop

> She did a few more spins and twists before landing on the tip of a pine tree

> she striked a pose, almost like a body builder at a beach

> as she returned to ground level you assaulted her with complements and applause

Dash: Oh anon, It wasn't that good..

Anon: nuh-uh, that was spectacular! I loved every second of it, especially the end part where you....

> you flexed your muscles and mimicked her end routine

Dash: yeah... *giggle*

Anon: also.... you were really fucking fast

Dash: heh..... yeah, well... I AM the fastest flyer in Equestria

> She gave you a wink, and again, was striking a pose

Anon: well, why don't you keep practicing? ill be waiting here for you, watching your sweet moves

> she smirked at you and took off

> you watched on, glad you knew someone like dash...

> you loved her, but never in a million years would you admit it

 

Dub's or 3's decide what anon says to dash next

 

> Shes pretty good

> you've always admired dash's skills

> You could see why Scootaloo looked up to her so much

> It really warmed your heart to watch rainbow dash enjoy herself

 

> You watch Dash do some more aerial routines for about thirty minutes

> she came back down again and smiled at you

Dash: so anon... what did ya think?

Anon: I loved it! Can I suggest something though....

Dash: sure anon...

Anon: Maybe you could try to skim the ground again.... ya know... after that big spin you did...

Dash: hmmmm... I suppose, let me give it a try.... tell me if it looks good

> And like that rainbow dash was off

> She did the same routine as last time, but climbed altitude at the end instead of landing

> she did a huge, complex spin before nose-diving

> she picked up speed, her tail flapping behind her

> it seemed like she was uneasy... all the vigorous exercise had worn her out...

> But not to let anon down, she did it anyways

> Just as she pulled up to evade the approaching ground she stuttered

> she nose-dived straight into the ground, leaving a fairly large impact crater in the compact dirt

Anon: HOLY SHIT....

> you sprang from your seat and sprinted towards her

> the impact looked brutal from your position, you thought she was dead

> A broked blue mush of what was once rainbow dash laid inside the dirt mound

> blood coated her fur, a front hoof bent impossibly over her head

Anon: FUCK...

 

dubs or 6's decide what you do

 

> You naturally reach for your pocket and pull out your cell phone

> Fuck...no one else has a cell phone in Equestria...

Anon:How the fuck am I supposed to get help?

Anon:SON OF A BITCH!

> you reach down into the crater and scoop up rainbow

> you toss her up and down a few times to readjust your grip

> Blood flowing from her body collects on your shirt

> you start to run as fast as your legs could take you towards the road and hopefully to a hospital

> You run with the wounded pegasus for what seemed like an eternity, her limp body bouncing in your vigorous strides

> You finally make it to Ponyville where crowds of ponies look onward at the frighting scenario

Anon: CAN ANYONE HELP ME? WHERES THE NEAREST HOSPITAL???

> you seem to get mixed reactions from the populous

> A few ponies throw a hoof towards the northwest

Bystander: over there! Down the road! Follow me!

> You follow the bystander, never having stopped your pace

> you reach the hospital where your greeted by a nurse or two

> you place her on a gurney and stand there

Anon: Its going to be alright dash... your alright.... your gunna be ok... I know it...

> Nurses and doctors flood the urgent care lobby and quickly make work of her

> they check her vitals and put an Iv in

> Chaotic communication and instruction fly about in the lobby as they slowly roll her into the back

> Your stopped by a nurse as you try to follow them

> The nurse instructs you to sit down in the main lobby and that they would call you in when they stabilized her

> you sit down on a plastic chair

> Tears begin to flow from your eyes as the shock and adrenalin starts to wear off

Anon: FUCK... WHY *sniff* WHY DID I HAVE TO FUCKING TELL HER TO DO THAT?

 

dubs or 4's decide what anon should do while he waits

 

> you sit there, crying your eyes out like a bitch

> You don't know what overcame you

> Rainbow dash and you were close friends and all

> hell, you had even seen her take a fall every once and a while.... but this time...she looked like death

> you didn't know if she was going to make it....

> worst of all, you had told her to do the stupid trick...

Anon:FUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKKKKK

>you held your head in your hands in between your lap

Anon: WHY THE FUCK DID I TELL HER TO DO THAT??? AGHHHHHH!!!

> you needed to get out of there, at least for some fresh air...

> you stand up and burst through the front doors of the establishment

> you start to run..

> You run without any sense of direction...

> you just want to run away from it all

> all the guilt... all of it

Twilight: How bad is she?

Anon: The doctors at the hospital don't think shes going to make it!

>At this point, the cashier and a few customers were staring, fixated at the unfolding drama

>There's a few seconds of silence before Twilight drops the basket she was inspecting and wraps a wing around you

Twilight: Alright, lets go!

>With a sudden flash and bang your off

>You materialize in the main lobby again, nurses cleaning blood from the foyer bow for Twilight

Bartender: fair enough... just DON'T do it again...

Roseluck: and does she have a favorite color? red, blue, yellow...?

Anon: you decide....

>Roseluck picked out a good bunch of yellow Marsh Marigold's

Roseluck: that'll be twenty bits please....

>you handed her the money and took the carefully wrapped flowers in hand

>You pressed forward towards the hospital

 

>you walked for a good 10 minutes

>you kept a steady pace...you felt guilty for sleeping through yesterday..

>you finally made it to the hospital around 9:45am, the walk took a little less than an hour from Applejack's farm..

>you entered the main lobby and walked up to the receptionist

Anon: Hello, I'm here to visit a patient

Receptionist: sign in please..

>she slid a clipboard with a sign in sheet..

>you wrote down your name and rainbows name as the patient you were visiting

>you handed it back to the receptionist who quickly scanned it

>she flipped through a excel worksheet and a small docket booklet...slowly coming to a stop on the third or fourth page...she pointed down the hall to the left, through a security door

Receptionist: room 208

Anon: thank you

>you walked over to the door, scanning the room behind you for applejack..she wasn't here yet

>the receptionist buzzed you in

Anon: I forgot to get you a vase....d-don't worry though...I'll get one

>you looked around, dash was the only one in her room still

Anon: that's good...

>You notice Fluttershy's picture on the nightstand next to dash's bed as well as a dozen balloons from pinkie

>You sit there in silence, listening to dash's breathing...

>even through the machines whirls and grinds you could hear her fighting

>In the back of your mind...you knew the machines were breathing for her...you didn't want to admit it

Anon: I was too depressed yesterday.....

Sam: yeah...I felt the same...I almost called in sick..

>You drop the conversation...you and Sam stare at dash in silence for a bit...

Anon: so... is she getting any better?

Sam: I'm afraid not...she's relatively normal in all her readings...her blood pressure spiked this morning but we fixed it...

Sam: *chuckle* D-dr. Adams thought she had a clot, so we gave her some blood thinners...turns out... she had to pee...

>You looked at her....wondering if she was serious..

Sam: *cough* well...she's..."better" ...now...

>you chuckle a bit yourself...It was the first time you cracked a smile the last few days...

>You had met Dr. Adams by accident a month earlier

>You had no idea who he was until two nights ago when you hid from him

>you had gone grocery shopping early Tuesday morning and spotted Dr. Adams picking out some salad greens by the deli

>He was still wearing his doctor get-up....green pants, white lab coat...thick pair of glasses...

>you found it odd....but later realized he was just probably picking up lunch for later

>he struck you as a stubborn man...his tone and opinions on things always demanded his way or the highway

>he seemed alright to you though

>Sam seemed to dislike him for some reason

 

>you and Sam wait there in silence for another good 5 minutes before she got called on another patient

PA: paging Sam...we have a code 2 in bay 3...assistance needed

Sam: I got to go anon....I'll be back later

Anon: ok

>Sam left, leaving you with Rainbow once more

>you get closer to rainbow and hug her....being weary of the many cables and hoses surrounding her

Anon: come on dash....get better....I l-love you..

>Applejack knocked on the door and entered, big mac was not to far behind

>she held a basket of apples in between her teeth, each apple a different color and tone

>She set the basket next to the balloons and stepped near you... Big mac was still by the door...

>you had never seen him be emotional before...but there's a first for everything

Applejack: hey anon, I invited Big Mac to come along and say hi... hope you don't mind...

Anon: I don't...as long as he's ok

>Applejack noticed him too....Big mac had started to cry...

>He cried in the deepest, most painful voice you had ever heard

>It was truly heart breaking

>he sat down by the foot of the bed and put his yolk to the side...his muzzle buried in his forehooves

Anon: I'll be back...

>You walk down the hall and out the hospital...Sam was near the front talking to a patients family...

>you decided to leave her be....she seemed pretty busy

 

>you made it to the center of town..Little businesses selling snack food and other treats lined the streets...

>A small diner towards the east side of town caught your eye...

>you walked past the town library...you felt uneasy..

>As if someone was watching you...

>you dismiss the feeling, thinking it was irrational

 

>You make it to the diner and scan the menu they displayed outside in a little case

>A little expensive... but the food proportions looked large

>you decide to try it out

 

>You order your meal to go...the lunch special with a side of soup..

>you had no idea what the "special" was..but you ordered it anyways

Thanks for reading! will update regularly...find me in any luna thread on /mlp/ and remind me to finish

 

Because [Ebuive] had some issues and could no longer write for the mean time, I finished the story for him with my own ideas. Take it as an alternative canon. Written By Noctis

 

 

>You decide to approach Twilight

 

>She's facing the other way so she doesn't notice you

 

>You get up behind her and give her a gentle nudge with your hand

 

>You nervously say

"...Twilight?"

 

>Twilight is startled to hear a voice from behind her

 

Twilight:" Ah! Oh, it's you. What do you want? Do you want some gratification and want to punch me again?"

 

>She turned around to face you

 

>A swollen bruise was protruding from her face

 

>You grimace slightly in seeing her slightly deformed face

 

Anon:" Listen Twilight, I wanted to say I'm sorry for all of my actions... I acted without thinking. I let my instincts take over me. I shouldn't have punched you. Please forgive me Twilight."

 

>She gives you nothing but the cold shoulder

 

Anon:" Oh so that's how you're going to be eh? Why do you have to be such a bitch Twilight? I thought you were a nice person but I see you're just a bitter and heartless bitch."

 

>Your words incite a response from Twilight

 

Twilight:" Bitter? Heartless? You really have the guts to call me that?"

 

Anon:" Well it's obvious you don't care about anyone but yourself. Why else would you selfishly teleport Fluttershy and I out of Rainbow Dash's room?"

 

>A tear begins to form in Twilight's eye as she is reminded of the horrible condition of her friend

 

Twilight:" You really don't think I care about my friends?! I was just trying to help Rainbow's condition. Having too many people near her could be dangerous you idiot! Do you really think it didn't hurt to see her on the hospital bed like that? She's practically dying! I care about her just as I do with all of my friends! I want only what's in her best interest!"

 

>You get frustrated because you know Twilight's words are true

 

Anon:" Well don't you know that I care about her to? I wanted to see her more than anything! Do you know how much fucking guilt I have because of this? This is all practically my fault!"

 

wilight:" It is your fault! If you didn't know her, none of this would have happened! Rainbow Dash would be with us all right now! We would all be having some kind of fun if it weren't for you! You are going to end up destroying all of our friendships!"

 

>Your heart sinks down and your will to fight against Twilight begins to decrease

 

>Your tone goes from one of anger to one of melancholy

 

Anon:" Look Twilight, I know it's my fault. But please you have to understand, I care for her just as much as you do. I never intended to cause her harm. I wanted to just have some fun with her. I might as well love her. I care about Rainbow just as much as you do Twilight. I made a huge mistake, I know that. But all I want is to be forgiven and to be allowed to see her. She's always been in my thoughts circling around. Please Twilight, can't you see? She means just as much to me as she does to you if not more."

 

>Twilight thinks you're full of shit and continues to yell at you

 

Twilight:" You idiot! I don't care if she's in your thoughts or if you care about her because you're no true friend! You let her basically kill herself! How dare you ask for forgiveness?! I don't believe one word you say to me! You never gave me a good reason to trust you anyways."

 

Alright here's where you guys come in

Do you:

A) Get your fighting spirit back and bark back at Twilgiht

B) Try to get out of this conversation knowing you can't win this argument

C) Let her win the argument and then show Twilight yourself how much you care about her by getting yourself in critical condition by any means necessary

D) Your suggestion here

 

>You get infuriated with Twilight at how she continues to bitch to you even when you lower your tone

 

>You raise your tone all the way back up and bark right back at her

 

Anon:" TWILIGHT YOU ARE SUCH A FUCKING BITCH! DO YOU KNOW-"

 

Twilight:" Shut up! Shut up already! You don't know half of what me and Rainbow have been through! We've been best friends for years! What makes you think that I could ever trust the person who is responsible for her current condition? For fucks sake! She's probably on her deathbed by now! You are responsible for all of this! I hate you you bastard!"

 

>Twilight continues to shout insults from the darkness of her heart as you let her bark at you

 

>You try to get yourself out of the conversation by simply trying to walk away as she is distracted by her constant barking

 

>You're about to get away with it when she stops to take a breath and notices you trying to weasel away

 

Twilight:" Where do you think you're going?! I'm not done with you yet!"

 

Anon:" All you have to say to me are constant insults and blaming me for Rainbow Dash and saying I don't understand. It's the same 3 things cycling over and over again. It's beginning to feel like your saying nothing but empty words."

 

>Twilight's eyes widen after she hears this statement, and she takes a moment to make her own

 

Twilight:" That's because... most of them are empty words. I'm turning the grief I have for my friend into anger directed towards you. I'm sorry. I was just blinded by the huge amount of grief I had. It was nice to vent though. Thanks for not punching me again. I see that you truly care about Rainbow Dash as much as the rest of us. I'm sorry for being so mean to you. I'd like to ask for your forgiveness and ask for your friendship."

 

Wat Do?

A) Accept her apology and friendship having bonded over your common care for Rainbow Dash

B) Accept her apology but hold off on the friendship

C) Walk away

D) Your answer here

 

Anon:" You know Twilight, grief does crazy things to people. That's why I punched you in the face that one time. Twilight I'm really glad to hear you apologized. I would be happy to be your friend Twilight. No hard feelings right?"

 

Twilight:" No hard feelings."

 

Anon:" Great to hear it Twilight."

 

>The two of you engage in a friendship hug, strengthening your bond

 

Anon:" So Twilight, why did you leave the hospital in the first place?"

 

Twilight:" I just couldn't stand to see Dash like that anymore. And besides Sam told us it would be better for her recovery if we all just left and let the doctors do what they need to do. So we did exactly that. We all left with Sam."

 

Anon:" Well Sam's been a great friend to me. Would you want to come with me to see her? I've been meaning to visit."

 

Twilight:" Well she is a really nice person. Sure, I'll come."

 

>You and Twilight walk and talk towards Sam's house, conversing about Dash and the good times Twilight had with her

 

>You arrive at her house and you knock on the door

 

>She answers the door in a matter of seconds and greets you

 

Sam:" Anon, Twilight, it's nice to see you in a place where things aren't so... depressing."

 

Anon:" Likewise."

 

Alright guys, decide what to talk about with her

Choices

A) Talk about how it's nice to see her to

B) Ask her about how she is and how her children are

C) Talk about Dash

D) Your answer here

 

Anon:" You know Sam, it's nice to see you again. You're a really great friend to me, it's really nice to see you again."

 

Sam:" Well I'm glad to see you to Anon. We don't get to talk much outside the hospital, but lets not bring up bad memories. "

 

Anon:" Right. So how have you and your kids been?"

 

Twilight:" Sam, speaking of your kids, where are they?"

 

Sam:" Well I've been just fine, the kids are sleeping over their grandparents though. The stress that work has given me lately makes me feel like I shouldn't be around my kids in case I snap. "

 

Anon:" Well that's reasonable. It must be a bit lonely here though, all by yourself."

 

Sam:" Well it does, but you get used to it. It's why I like to work at the hospital, taking care of people is what I like to do and knowing that I can help makes me smile. It makes me feel a little less lonely even if some of the patients are in a coma."

 

Twilight:" Well I'm glad you enjoy what you do Sam."

 

>The conversation awkwardly dies down

 

>You finally ask a Dash related question

 

Anon:" So Sam, is Rainbow Dash your only comatose patient?"

 

>You can obviously see that she doesn't like to talk about Dash too much

 

Sam:" Yes... yes she is. You know, I'm not supposed to grow attached to my patients but somehow she was different for me. I guess the way you all really cared for her made me care for her in the same way."

 

>A few moments later Sam's pager is going crazy

 

Choices

A) Take a look at the pager

B) Ignore it for now, it'll stop eventually

C) Get Sam to get her pager

D) Your answer here

 

Anon:" Sam you should probably check up on your pager, it sounds important, and I'd hate to snoop around in your business."

 

Sam:" I didn't even notice, thanks Anon."

 

>Sam pulls out her pager

 

Sam:" Strange, it's from the doctor. Ugh what does he want? This is exactly the kind of thing that makes me hate him."

 

>Sam then opens up the message that her pager had been trying to urgently notify her of for the past few minutes

 

>Sam drops her pager in shock

 

Anon:" What's wrong Sam?!"

 

Twilight:" Sam, what did the pager say?"

 

>She doesn't say anything as she is still frozen in shock

 

>Twilight then casts a spell on Sam to snap her out of her shock

 

Sam:" Guys... Rainbow Dash might be dying... her heart rate seems extremely erratic and she might be going into cardiac arrest..."

 

>You and Twilight both have the same shocked and worried expression on your faces

 

 

Anon:" WE NEED TO GET THERE NOW!"

 

Sam:" Agreed, we need to get there and fast."

 

>The three of them rush out of Sam's house and sprint towards the hospital, desperate to get to Dash before she croaks

 

>Twilight is talking to herself trying to reassure herself that one of her best friends isn't in fact dying

 

>You arrive at the hospital and run past all security regardless of what they could do to you later

 

>You just want to see Rainbow Dash one last time

 

>You make it to Rainbow Dash's room

 

>You see Dash is finally out of her coma

 

Anon:" Holy mother of fucking god..."

 

>Twilight and Sam caught up to you and both are just as shocked as you to see Dash awake

 

Rainbow Dash:" Hey what's wrong? It's like you guys have seen a ghost or something."

 

>They're all frozen in shock and are unable to reply

 

Rainbow Dash:" Uh hello? Anybody home?"

 

>Still no response

 

Rainbow Dash:" Alright, it's getting old now, you can stop this you know."

 

>Again no response

 

Rainbow Dash:" Alright I get it, I've probably been out for a while, big whoop."

 

Twilight:" Rainbow... we thought you were dying..."

 

Rainbow Dash:" What, would it make you happy if I was?"

 

Anon:" Not at all... I'm just surprised to see you're alright!"

 

Rainbow Dash:" Well trust me, it's a good feeling to feel when you're alright."

 

Sam:" I don't understand... your heart should have gone into cardiac arrest... what happened? I'm not saying that I'm not really happy you made a full recovery because believe me I am, but I don't understand it."

 

Rainbow Dash:" Aw who cares. I'm just happy I'm finally out of that coma. How long have I been out for?"

 

Sam:" A few days."

 

Rainbow Dash:" Eh, not too bad. Now you guys come here, you deserve a group hug. I'm so glad to see you all again, especially you Anon."

 

>You join in on a group hug with Rainbow Dash and the others

 

>Rainbow Dash seems to be a bit woozy

 

Anon:" Rainbow Dash, you need to take it easy. It's pushing yourself too hard that got you into this mess, don't do it again."

 

Rainbow Dash:" Fine, I'll lay down for a while."

 

>Twilight sends a letter to all her friends to quickly come over to the hospital as RD lies down

 

>The others came as quickly as they could

 

>They all cheered Rainbow Dash's name and Pinkie Pie was the loudest one

 

Pinkie Pie:" Rainbow Dash! Yay! You're finally awake! Wohoo! Now we can have a huge party!"

 

Rainbow Dash:" Pinkie, I don't think that's necessary..." Said Rainbow Dash in a weak voice

 

Sam:" Pinkie I don't really think it's the right time to have a party."

 

Pinkie:" But why? Any time is party time!"

 

>Pinkie begins bouncing around the room like a lunatic and annoying Rainbow Dash

 

Rainbow Dash:" Pinkie please stop that."

 

Pinkie:" Geez calm down Rainbow, all I'm doing is bouncing around! I'm not doing anyone any harm!"

 

>Rainbow Dash gets infuriated and musters up all her strength to yell at Pinkie

 

>Dan from Dan vs. mode activate

 

Rainbow Dash:" PIIIIIIIIINNNNNNKKKKKKKKKKKIIIIIIEEEEEE PIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!! JUST SHUT UP ALREADY! I'VE BEEN PRACTICALLY DEAD FOR A FEW DAYS! WE CAN PARTY LATER!"

 

Sam:" Dash don't yell! Stressing your heart out like that could-"

 

>Sam is interrupted by the heart rate monitor spazzing out of control again

 

>Rainbow Dash is going into cardiac arrest

 

Anon:" God damn it no... no... no! Sam do something!"

 

Sam:" Everyone stand back!"

 

>Rainbow Dash flat lines

 

>Sam breaks out the defibrillators and tries countless times to resuscitate Rainbow Dash

 

Sam:" Clear!"

 

>Rainbow Dash is really dying now and the defibrillators are of no use

 

Twilight:" Everyone stand back, I'm gonna try to resuscitate her with a spell!"

 

>Twilight's spell fails

 

>All hope seems to be lost

 

>Suddenly you get an idea

 

Anon:" TWILIGHT, SAM! YOU NEED TO RESUSCITATE HER AT THE SAME TIME! BOTH OF YOU DO IT AT ONCE! WE CAN STILL SAVE HER!"

 

>Hearing the urgency in your voice, Twilight used the resuscitation spell and Sam used the defibs at the same time in order to deliver a shock strong enough to restart her heart

 

>After multiple attempts, the monitor is detecting a heart beat once again

 

>You all cheer in unison as Rainbow Dash is alive

 

>Sam calls the doctor to inspect Rainbow

 

>He says she's in another coma or worse

 

Anon:" What do you mean or worse?"

 

Doctor:" She could be nothing but a vegetable now..."

 

Anon:" That can't be true..."

 

Doctor:" In fact it is the most likely of things to happen. She was flat lining for too long and the brain could easily have been affected. I'm sorry."

 

Sam:" You know, you're a real asshole doc."

 

Doctor:" Just doing my job."

 

>He left the room and everyone had become depressed

 

>Time skip

 

>It has been weeks since you last saw Rainbow Dash awake and out of bed

 

>Her heart beat is steady but she's showing no signs of ever coming out

 

>One night you are very desperate to see her so you call out to Princess Luna

 

Anon:" Princess Luna, please come to me. I need you."

 

>Luna then appears right before you

 

Luna:" You called Anon?"

 

Anon:" Actually yes, I did. I wanted to know, is there anyway I can enter Rainbow Dash's dreams? I miss her and I want to know if somehow I can just converse with her in her dreams."

 

Luna:" While it is possible to insert you into her dreams, there is no guarantee your own conscious would come out and you would end up just like her. If you enter, you might not be able to exit."

 

Alright everyone, this is the final decision. This is the split between the two endings. (Well 4 each choice can end in 2 different ways)

Choice A: Go into her dreams and hope for the best trying to bring her back to consciousness

Choice B: Don't go into her dreams and only hope that she may come back one day

 

 

>You think it over for a moment and realize that you really want to see Dash more than anything else

 

Anon:" That doesn't matter to me Princess. I want to see her in anyway possible. I have to know that she's still in there somewhere. I miss her too much. It's been weeks since she last said a word to me and the guilt I have for causing her to be in the hospital in the first place has done nothing but grow and consume my heart. Please, send me in. If I don't come back, then let it be known that I'll have died being with the pony I love the most."

 

Luna:" So be it."

 

>Luna casts a spell on you that sends you into Rainbow Dash's mind

 

>You arrive and see nothing but darkness

 

>Black everywhere

 

>No light

 

>You hear some crying in the distance and you decide to investigate

 

>You go far enough and you find some light

 

>Everything the light touches is gray

 

>You see Rainbow Dash in the distance and your heart feels like it's soaring in the skies

 

>You run over to her

 

Anon:" Hey Rainbow Dash! It's me! The real Anon!"

 

>She doesn't respond to you

 

>She has turned gray just like everything else here

 

>Strangely enough, you haven't turned gray and retain your color

 

>You look into Rainbow Dash's eyes only to see soulless black eyes

 

Anon:" ... What happened to you Rainbow... what happened..."

 

>She seems to be completely lifeless

 

Anon:" Damn it... you're gone... I miss you Rainbow Dash... but it seems like you really have passed on."

 

>You leave the empty husk to itself and begin to walk away

 

>All of a sudden, you hear the crying again

 

>You turn around and see a tear dripping from her eye

 

 

>You look into her eyes and see that she's still in that gray husk

 

>You see everything that she's seeing as its being reflected somehow off her eyes

 

>You see her ultimate nightmare

 

>She is constantly being resuscitated, fighting her way to try to be with her friends, but her efforts always are in vain

 

>It seems to be an endless loop of hell, where Rainbow Dash almost gets back to her friends, but fails in the end each and every single time

 

>You now see the misery you have put her through

 

>Your guilt completely swallows your heart and you can't help but feel depressed as well

 

>You lose your color and turn gray just like Rainbow Dash had

 

>Your heart broken knowing that her hell is being resuscitated and teased of being alive again, but never succeeding

 

Anon:" I'm so sorry Rainbow Dash... this is all my fault..."

 

>You slowly fall down and crawl to her

 

>You wrap your arms around Rainbow Dash and begin to cry your heart out

 

>Every single tear you shed is a tear of grief, knowing that Dash is like this because of you

>Then all of a sudden, color starts coming back to her body

 

>You let go of her and step back watching her rainbow mane be restored in wonderful and bright color

 

>Her eyes, no longer soulless and no longer reflecting the horrible nightmare

 

>Her eyes are teeming with life and vigor

 

>Her blank disposition soon grows into a happy one as her facial expression changes to a blank and empty one to one with a smile

 

>She finally speaks to you

 

Rainbow Dash:" Anon! It's so great to see you again! I honestly never thought I would see anyone of my friends ever again!"

 

Anon:" I'm so happy you're alright Rainbow! You have no idea how much I missed you! I felt so guilty for everything! Everything was my fault! Could you ever forgive me?"

 

Rainbow Dash:" I already have Anon. It was my fault just as much as yours. I admit I'm not the most perfect pony around but I sure strive to be the best I can be. I'm just so happy to see you again. Let's put the past behind us. But can you tell me how you're here in my subconscious when I'm in a coma?"

 

Anon:" I asked Princess Luna to send me in. You were dreaming in a way and I was able to get in, but she warned me there was a chance I would never get out. But I came anyways, for you Rainbow."

 

>Rainbow Dash is touched by what you did to see her and she gives you a big hug, and a little kiss

 

>You hug her back in joy

 

Anon:" Now what do you say we get you out of this Coma?"

 

Rainbow Dash:" It's worth a try, let's do it!"

 

>You hold on to Rainbow Dash as she flies and preforms a sonic rainboom out of her dream

 

>Next thing you know, you're right next to Rainbow Dash, and she's looking at you smiling

 

Rainbow Dash:" Looks like it worked huh?"

 

Anon:" Heh, yeah, it does doesn't it."

 

>You smile back at her and you decide to cuddle with her, holding her in your arms and never letting go

 

>You snuggle with each other and then fall asleep together in peace
