Hi, NightFury991 here. I know, I know, you're not gonna believe it; me, writing a My Little Pony story? But I just thought I needed a change from the other stuff I'm writing and, well, why not do this?
Bare in mind this is my first time writing a MLP fanfic, and yes I have watched all three series/seasons (Pick your poison), but if any of the characters seem a little out of character to what they are like in the show, then I do apologies.
Chapter 1
The sun slowly rose from behind the Canterlot Mountains, the early morning rays of lightly trying weakly to make it to the ground, even though the skies were crystal clear; not a single cloud in the sky to block the sun rays from reaching the ground. The rays of sunlight slowly manages to reach the town of Ponyville, in which many ponies were still asleep. But as the sun rays worked through the windows of the ponies' houses, they knew that it was time to get up and begin to start on their daily activities. Within a few minutes of the sun rays first reacting the ground, doors began to open on various houses around the town, and Earth, Unicorn and a few Pegasus ponies started to come out of the open doors and began to go about their daily lives. Stands started to open up, as well as some of shops in Ponyville, while other ponies were walking around the streets of the town, trying to take in the early morning sunlight before the streets were packed with all the other ponies that occupied Ponyville, as well as some of the Pegasi from Cloudsdale that would often come down to Ponyville.
Speaking of Cloudsdale and Pegasi, one Pegasus in particular was still fast asleep; this wasn't really anything out of the ordinary for this cyan coloured coat, rainbow-maned mare Pegasus, since she would normally sleep in her cloud house, complete with small rainbow-coloured waterfall and pond just staying on the cloud supports of the cloud house. This cyan coat Pegasus had her head and muzzle half-buried in the pillow, the part of her mane that wasn't against the pillow sticking up at every angle, while the other part of the mane that was against the pillow was smooth, something that wasn't really seen on this cyan Pegasus. Soon however, the sun managed to rise enough for it to allow the sun rays to break through the gaps in the cloud walls that formed the windows for the cloud house, and went right into the left eye of the cyan Pegasus, causing her to groan as the sun light made it past her eyelids. "Uhh….too early…" groaned Rainbow Dash lowly, slowly turning over so that the back of her mane was facing the sunlight from the window. After trying for a few more minutes to get back to sleep, it soon became apparent to Rainbow Dash that the sun wasn't going to give up trying to get her up, and so she sighed tiredly, muttering, "Alright, alright, I'm getting up; I'm getting up…" as she slowly sat up on her bed, stretching her forelegs out and behind her back, the top of her mane smoothed down against her head, part of the rainbow mane getting in her eyes, while the part of the mane that was at the back of her neck was sticking up wildly in every direction.
Rainbow Dash looked up at the bit of mane that was getting in her eyes and frowned slightly, before puffing up to try and get the mane out of her eyes; it stayed out of her eyes for a few seconds, before falling back into place. Again, she frowned, only a bit deeper this time, and she puffed a breath up against the mane. Once more, the mane stayed up and out of her eyes for a few seconds, before comically falling back into its original place. Gritting her teeth slightly in annoyance and growling quietly, Rainbow Dash lifted her right foreleg up and pushed the mane out of her eyes, keeping it up for a few seconds before lowering her hoof. After the mane hadn't fall back into place after a few seconds, Rainbow Dash smiled triumphantly; until the mane fell back into place over her eyes. Rainbow Dash growled in annoyance at her mane, before sighing and muttering, "Fine…I'll brush it..." as she slowly got off of her bed, and stretched her back legs back, stretching the muscles, trying to get them up from the long night sleep. After her back leg muscles had been fully stretched and woken up, Rainbow Dash moved to her wings; she stretched and fluttered the cyan feathered wings slightly, waking the muscles up from having been partly lied on for the night.
After her muscles had been stretched, Rainbow Dash slowly trotted out of her room, picking up one of her Daring Doo books, Daring Doo and the hunt for the Crystal Wings, up that had somehow dropped from the end of her bed during the night and putting it back on the end of her bed, right next to the other Daring Doo books she now owned; once she had done that, she returned to trotting out of her room and down into the area of her cloud house that acted as the kitchen. Grabbing one of the ripe apples that sat on the counter of her kitchen, Rainbow Dash took a bite out of it as she headed towards the front door of her house; but before she had a chance to push open the door, she felt something nudge against her back right hoof. Looking back, she smiled as her eyes landed on the tortoise, not turtle, TORTOISE, nudging its head against her back hoof. "Sorry 'bout that Tank; nearly forgot to feed ya," said Rainbow Dash, smiling down at Tank in slight apology; Tank blinked at her slowly, slowly twisting his face into a smiled as Rainbow Dash quickly trotted over to one of the cupboards below where she had grabbed one of the apples, and pulled out a box of cereal, labelled, Pony O's, before pouring a small portion of the cereal into one of the bowls. She barely managed to pick up the cereal between her hooves, before slowly hovering a few inches off the floor to get over to the Tank, who being a tortoise, would have taken forever to reach the bowl if she had put it where she was to begin with.
As Tank slowly lowered his head down to the bowl and to an excruciatingly slow mouthful of the cereal, Rainbow Dash patted his shell before saying, "I'll be back later, Tank; I'm just gunna go see if my friends are missing my awesomeness this morning." After patting she patted Tank's shell a second time, and with Tank slowly looking up to her, his mouth in mid-chew as he slowly nodded his head before returning it to the bowl, Rainbow Dash trotted to the door again; but again, she stopped before she could open the door. Though this time, it was because she had remembered her mane and how it was so smooth on one side and so wild on the other side; she couldn't go out like this! The smoother side had to be spiked up; she had a reputation to keep up. After rubbing the smoother part of her mane with her right hoof for a few seconds, Rainbow Dash twisted her head around, trying to get a good look at the once smooth, now wildly spiked part of her mane; once she was sure that it was matching the other part of her mane that was already wildly angled in every direction. After she was sure that it matched, she smirked before saying, "See ya, Tank; gotta dash!" And with her self-made catch phrase, she trotted towards the front door for the third time in as many minutes, and finally managed to open the door this time. After stepping out into the sunlight, Rainbow Dash quickly covered her eyes to allow them time to adjust to the sudden change of light.
"Man, it's bright…" commented Rainbow Dash to herself as she lowered her foreleg from her eyes again once those rosy coloured eyes of hers had adjusted to the light on the outside. Opening her wings and letting the wind brush through the feathers for a few seconds, Rainbow Dash suddenly shot forward at high speed, her mane and tail whipping around against the wind she was flying against; she always liked a challenge, and after the stuff she had put against herself, flying against the high wind was mere filly's play. Her mane and tail was fluttered around almost violently against the wind, a light rainbow slowly forming behind her mane and tail; the wing going around her wings, messing with some of her feathers, though she knew it wasn't affecting her flight path too much. Rainbow Dash looked around in front of her, trying to find at least one cloud to allow her to practise some of her moves; but she couldn't see anything in the shape of a cloud or anything else in front of her.
WHAM!
Something suddenly crashed into Rainbow Dash's right side; it threw her off for a second, before her wings quickly righted herself and returned to her to her level flight path. She frowned angrily and turned around, saying, "Hey! Watch where you-" but stopped mid-sentence when she noticed that there wasn't anything at her level that could have crashed into her. Suddenly, she heard a panicky cry come from below her; looking down, her eye's widened as her breath caught in her throat as she saw the small black dot, quickly getting smaller and further away; it must have been a Pegasus, and it looked like it wasn't going to stop its high-speed decent. "Oh boy," muttered Dash, before looking around, trying to see if there was any other Pegasus around. But when it became apparent to her that there wasn't any other Pegasus in the skies at the moment apart from herself and the rapidly descending Pegasus, Rainbow Dash, without another second thought, shot straight towards the ground and the falling Pegasus. The cyan coated Pegasus was rapidly picking up speed as she flew towards the ground at high speed, pressing her wings against her slim figure to try and increase her speed to get to the other Pegasus quicker.
As the other Pegasus began to grow larger the closer she got to it, Rainbow Dash had her front hooves in front of her, her eyes watering at the high speed wind going into her eyes; she had to keep them open to keep an eye on the Pegasus, though she squinted them as much as she could to try and keep the wind out of her eyes. As she got ever closer to the falling Pegasus, she could take in more of the details of the other Pegasus; for one, she could tell from the size of the Pegasus that it was a male, and this male had seemed to have blacked out, since his limbs and wings were flapping around aimlessly. "C'mon, c'mon," muttered Rainbow Dash to herself, pressing her wings tighter against her body, trying to make herself as streamline as possible. Soon, through her squinted eyes, she could see a faint Mach cone forming a few inches in front of her hooves. Within a few seconds of the Mach cone faintly forming at the front, she was level with the other Pegasus, and after noticing that they were dangerously close to the ground at this point, Rainbow Dash quickly flapped her wings to give herself that little extra speed she so sorely needed right now. And thanks to that little extra burst of speed, Rainbow Dash soon found herself a few feet below the blacked out male Pegasus, and she slowly tilted her body so that she was flying to move under the male Pegasus. She slowed down ever so slowly as she slowly levelled off, and when she felt the weight of the male Pegasus on her back, her first thought was, 'Man, he's heavy!' before her second thought was, 'I hope I've got enough height to pull off this without causing any injures.'
Rainbow Dash glanced a look to the ground, and her rosy red eyes widened as she saw how close she and the other Pegasus were to the ground; she could see all of the individual ponies that were now dotted around Ponyville. Panicking ever so slightly, Rainbow Dash quickly spread her wings to try and slow their decent down; with the Mach cone now fully gone and themselves slowing down slowly, Rainbow Dash knew that they didn't have enough height to pull off a no-crash landing; but, wasn't a landing that you could walk away from a good landing? She didn't have long to process this thought, however, as the ground was quickly coming closer to them at an incredible rate. Rainbow Dash quickly closed her eyes, awaiting the impact with the ground and the pain that was going to follow the crash. Seconds passed and nothing happened, before she felt her stomach come into contact with the ground and, seconds later, she felt herself digging into the earth as she began to roll across the ground from the momentum of the impact; she felt the weight of the male Pegasus fall off of her back, and she didn't know what happened to it after the initial impact.
A few seconds passed of tumbling and rolling across the ground, before she slowed down to a stop, and silence followed, filling the air around Rainbow Dash. The mare Pegasus slowly opened her eyes, her vision slightly obscured from a cloud of dirt that had kicked up from the impact. After a few minutes of checking her legs and wings, Rainbow Dash found that she hadn't gained any sort of serious injury from the impact; the only things that were really damaged from the crash were her clean coat and her pride. After shaking the majority of the dirt out of her coat, Rainbow Dash looked around and gasped slightly when her eyes landed on the male Pegasus; from the momentum of the crash, he had rolled and tumbled across the ground further than Rainbow Dash and had crashed into the one tree that was surrounding the field that they had landed/crashed in. Rainbow Dash quickly galloped the short distance between her and the unconscious male Pegasus, and quickly nudged him into his front, poking his side slightly as she said, "Hey, hey; c'mon, wake up. Don't be pretending to be asleep on me, 'cause I will be so mad at you if you are!" But after she didn't get a response from the male Pegasus, she began to actually get worried; what if somepony walked past the field and saw him? How the hay could she explain this?!
'Calm down, Dash; just try to wake him up, and if that don't work, try going to Twilight; she'll probably have something that could help, what with her constantly working on potions, she's bound to have something to help,' Rainbow Dash told herself, breathing deeply to try and calm herself. Taking her time to try and calm herself, she took the chance to look over the more detailed parts of the male Pegasus. She was correct in thinking that it was a male Pegasus, judging from the body shape and the squared off muzzle, compared to her rounded-off muzzle. And the size of the Pegasus suggested that it was a stallion; and he didn't look more than a year or two older than she was. The coat of the stallion was a deep, midnight black, which came into back contrast with his white mane, which in turn was in contrast with the black strip going through the centre of the mane; the same could be said for his tail. Her eyes glanced up from looking at his tail and her eyes landed on his cutie mark; what threw her off for a second was that it looked similar in shape to her own; a cloud with a strike of lightning coming out from the cloud. Though the stallion's cutie mark had a dark grey cloud, which was hard for it to be separated from the colour of his coat, with the lightning strike being a pure white colour.
"Hmm; interesting," commented Rainbow Dash under her breath, glancing her eyes over the stallion's body; but when she glanced at his wings, she felt her blood go cold and her wings flutter for a second before she pressed them tightly against her sides; the wings had several of the feathers missing, with other feathers sticking up at wild angles, much like her mane was; though his wings weren't at extremely odd angles, they were bent ever so slightly off centre; not enough for it to be a broken bone, but enough for it to be clear to Rainbow Dash that it was a fracture or at least something wrong with the muscles.
"Think I'd better go see Twi; she'll know what to do better than I ever could," muttered Rainbow Dash to herself, quickly glancing around to make absolutely sure that there wasn't any pony around that she could ask to go and get Twilight Sparkle. After realizing that there wasn't any pony around or going to come around, Rainbow Dash quickly turned to fly towards Ponyville, but hesitated; she just couldn't leave this stallion out here, alone and with a possible fractured wing or wings? Rainbow Dash quickly glanced around to look back at the unconscious stallion, before saying to the unconscious Pegasus, "Don't move; not from that spot. Just…stay there; stay…." Rainbow Dash, after realizing that she was talking to an unconscious Pegasus that probably couldn't hear her, shook her head, muttering, "Losin' it; talking to somepony that probably can't hear me at the moment…" before she spread her wings and took off with the speed of a bullet, like she hadn't crashed at all.
So, how did I do for the first trial chapter? Good? Bad? Want me to continue? Please leave your response in the reviews.
