CHAPTER ONE: RAINBOW DASH CRASHES
It was a beautiful day in Equestria and Rainbow Dash was taking advantage of the clear sky to do some amazing flying tricks. Down on the ground, Pinkie Pie and Rarity were watching the performance when they were joined by Twilight Sparkle and Sunrise Blossom.
"Hey, Rarity. Hey, Pinkie Pie," said Twilight Sparkle. "What are you looking at?" And both she and her twin looked skyward.
"Rainbow Dash!" said Pinkie Pie as they watched the blue pegasus fly all over the place. "Isn't she the most daring devil? I mean, the most devilish darer? I mean-"
"She's dazzling!" Rarity declared.
Pinkie Pie liked that word. "Ooh, yeah, that's a good word. She's dazzling!"
"Very dazzling," Sunrise Blossom agreed.
The four ponies watched their friend's flying routine to the point that the pink pony got dizzy, and then during one particular difficult stunt, Rainbow Dash ended up hurtling toward the ground. They gasped, alarmed.
"Oh no, oh no, oh no!" Twilight Sparkle moaned.
"Incoming!" Sunrise Blossom yelped.
"Ai yi yi yi yi!" Pinkie Pie cried.
The four ponies winced when the blue pegasus did a crash landing that left a pegasus-shaped hole in the ground. "Oohh."
Pinkie Pie shook her head sadly. "So much for dazzling."
"Let's get her to the hospital," Sunrise Blossom suggested and they went to work on getting their unconscious friend out of the ground.
When Rainbow Dash began regaining consciousness, the first thing she heard was the beeping of a heart monitor, and as she slowly opened her eyes, she found herself in a hospital bed with her friends gathered around the bed, talking about her.
`"Is she gonna be okay?"` Applejack wondered.
`"Oh, I'm so worried!"` said Fluttershy.
`"Is her face gonna stay that way?"` Pinkie Pie questioned.
`"I think she's waking up,"` Sunrise Blossom remarked.
Finally opening her eyes, Rainbow Dash gingerly rubbed her aching head, finding a bandage, and then she saw that her right wing was also bandaged. "Awwww," she groaned, covering her face with her forelegs.
"How is she, doctor?" Twilight Sparkle asked the doctor, who was examining the x-ray of the blue pegasus' wing.
"She's going to be fine," Doctor Horse answered, putting the x-ray into the folder and turned to the concerned ponies. "Luckily she has friends like you who got her over here in a jiffy."
Rainbow Dash struggled to sit up in the bed. "Huh, how long do I need to lie here?" she asked. "I've got things I need to do!"
"Well, that all depends on your recovery," said Doctor Horse, "but I'd say a few days minimum."
"You guys have gotta get me out of here!" the blue pegasus pleaded, not wanting to be laid up in the hospital. "I'm gonna climb the walls!"
"Ooh, just like a spider!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed and turned to Doctor Horse with an excited expression, putting her hooves on his shoulders. "Did the crash somehow give her super-duper spider powers?"
Doctor Horse stared at the pink pony for a moment and shook his head. "Nnnno, nor did it give her amazing healing powers," he corrected her, and he turned away so that she fell to the floor. "She needs to stay in bed for a few days."
"A few days?" Rainbow Dash repeated and groaned, falling back on the pillow. "Might as well be a few months, or a few years!"
"It's not so bad, Rainbow Dash," Fluttershy reassured her.
Applejack nodded. "I bet the chow in here is hoof-lickin' good."
"And the hospital gowns, they… match the curtains!" Rarity added, trying to helpful.
Pinkie Pie pulled aside a curtain and revealed a pony lying on the other bed and he was nearly covered with bandages. "And look! You have a roommate!"
When the blue pegasus scowled and covered herself with the blanket, Twilight Sparkle heard wheels squeaking and saw a nurse pushing a cart filled with books past the open door. Getting an idea, she hurried out of the room. She returned, magically carrying a book, and she tapped her friend's shoulder before setting it on the bed.
Rainbow Dash uncovered herself and picked up the book. "What's this?" she asked, reading the cover. "'Daring Do and the Quest for the Sapphire Stone'."
"This is the first story in the series," the purple unicorn informed her, smiling goofily. "Sunrise and I own all of them."
"It's a really good series," Sunrise Blossom agreed. "The hero is a pegasus that goes on these action-packed adventures."
Rainbow Dash glanced at the book and then tossed it aside. "No thanks," she snapped, scowling at her friends. "I so don't read. I'm a world-class athlete. Reading's for eggheads like you and Sunrise, Twilight. Heh, no offense, but I am not reading. It's undeniably, unquestionably, uncool." She rolled her eyes when her friends burst out laughing.
"Is she serious?" Applejack snickered. "Who doesn't like to read a bang-up tale from time to time?"
"Why, a good book is almost as magnificent as silk pajamas on a Sunday morning, heh!" Rarity giggled.
Twilight Sparkle magically retrieved the book and put it back on the bed with her friend. "Reading is for everypony, Rainbow Dash!" she insisted.
"Yeah!" Pinkie Pie agreed. "I love reading, and my head isn't even close to the shape of an egg! It's more the shape of an apple, or maybe an orange, but a big orange! More like a grapefruit really…" and she trailed off, losing focus once again.
Nurse Sweetheart entered the room. "All right, my little ponies," she announced. "Rainbow Dash needs her rest. You'll have to come back tomorrow." And she stepped aside to let the six ponies out.
Twilight Sparkle paused in the doorway and glanced at the blue pegasus. "I think you'd like Daring," she remarked. "She's a lot like you and not just a pegasus like Sunrise said. Adventurous, fierce, and undeniably, unquestionably, unstoppable." And she left, the door shutting behind her.
A/N: Well, Rainbow Dash isn't going to do any flying anytime soon, so will she read the book? Post your guesses in the reviews and I will see you all on Thursday to see what happens next. Bye! R&R everyone!
