John was 12 when he started seeing things. John was also your typical brony and had always had a passion for flying. Now, 30 years later, he had a pitiful job, no family, and no one to care about him. His parents had died when he was 19 and he then lived on his own out in the country, 10 miles from the nearest town. He had a flying permit and took his plane out for a run everyday, he especially liked flying under rainbows after a rainfall. but one day, his life turned for the better. By the way, I am John. How, you may ask, had my life turned for the better?

Well, it was May 20th and I was flying under a rainbow when I spotted something very strange. The rainbow, on the right side, (as in, how it looked) quivered and plummeted straight into the forest behind my house. I immediately landed near the edge of the forest and went inside. It was a very dense forest, so I couldn't see much, but I knew where the end of the rainbow was. It was in my thinking spot, the spot where I go in the middle of the night and simply thought. Anyways, as I walked to my thinking spot, I noticed a cyan blob imbedded into the ground. AS I walked up to it, I noticed it was something I had only seen when I was 12. It was Rainbow Dash, stuck into the ground with a bullet through her right foreleg, and she was barely breathing.

I ran over to her and kneeled down, then she opened her eyes. "W-W-Who…?" She asked, her voice very weak.

"I'm John, Rainbow Dash." I said in a very calm voice.

"H-How do y-you kn-know my n-name?" she said, even weaker.

"Not important, how did you get here?" I asked in a serious tone

She simply pointed her hoof towards a very large cloud in the sky. Then, she fainted.

I decided on what to do, but I never did realize why I did it. I picked up Rainbow and carried her out of the forest to my plane. I put her in the forever empty second cockpit, and I climbed into the first. I started the engine and took to the skies, flying towards the cloud she had pointed to. I flew for an hour straight before I reached the big cloud. I then turned around to see Rainbow Dash was awake and looking around.

"Good, your awake! Can you tell me how you came from this cloud?" I yelled at her over the roaring of the wind.

she simply took out a small pipe and clenched it in-between her teeth. Then a solid, three-note chime came from the pipe and suddenly, a gap opened in the cloud and two guards flew towards me.

"HALT!" one of them yelled. I turned the engine to low, and we slowed down. "What do you want, pathetic hu-" He stopped after noticing Rainbow Dash in the back seat, holding the pipe in her teeth. He then noticed the blood running down her foreleg. "Follow me, human." the guard said to me after he was done examining Rainbow Dash.

"I flew into the gap in the clouds and immediately saw a large plain with several houses and streets on it. I recognized this as Ponyville, and after we entered, a flash of bright light appeared for a second and Twilight Sparkle was standing where the light had been.

"Oh, Rainbow! What happened to you?" she asked in distress.

Rainbow Dash told Twilight the whole story of how she was wounded, me rescuing her, and our return here.

"That's….A lot." Twilight said, the distress retreating from her eyes.

"Umm… What about me?" I asked, looking confused.

"I think your a hero, John." Rainbow said to me, a little weakly. The bleeding had stopped, but the blood had dried onto her fur
