Hey guys!

Here's another update to my loyal readers~ I hope you guys love the story so far!

Just a couple of things I wanna clear up:

I had a review about Smut being in the fanfic, which I do NOT wanna write. You might want me to, but I won't.

One said that I should make the chapters longer

Okay, I can understand that. But please understand this; I'm trying to update as much as I can so you guys won't be left hanging! The story is reaching a climax, and I hope you stay with me til the end of it!

One more said something about Scootaloo turning up in a chapter.

Please, read the title. 'Rainbow Blurs' is not going to be about any other characters but RD and Sonic. Yes, I know Twi's in here now, but she's a vital part in my plotline and without her, the story won't go as planned! She's there for a reason, and so are the other characters.

Now, let's go ahead and start this story!

Chapter 6: Too Soon

The fact that Twilight was here couldn't register in Rainbow's head as she sat next to the bed that a couple of days earlier she'd been on, watching her friend take deep breaths in her slumber. Sonic had called up Rouge again, and they had went and got her some clothes, where Rainbow had picked her up and toted her into bathroom to slip them on her. She didn't wake at all, and secretly inside she was relieved. She really didn't want to explain what she had on her chest, anyways. The clothes really suited her; cute, fabulous, but not all out. Some blue jean shorts, rolled at the hems, and a purple tank top over a white t-shirt. Rainbow even took the liberty in brushing her hair, knowing that she probably didn't know how to use her legs and hands yet. Now was the agony that Rainbow didn't want to face: Waiting. She didn't like to do that, but Tails and Sonic had insisted.

She sighed. It was dark outside, and the stars glittered outside from the window close by. She wanted to be in that sky, flying high and laughing. But she'd have to wait, she rather not rebreak her wings. Or go through the heated pain that seared through them every time she moved them. Tails wouldn't give her an exact time, and that made her angry. But he had said he didn't know her healing pace yet. "Give it a few days, and we'll figure out exactly how long."

Waiting. Wasn't her sport, and would never be.

She heard the click of a door, and she turned her head, seeing Sonic with a tray. It held enough food for two, her and Twilight, and her stomach rumbled. He chuckled as he laid the tray on her lap, watched as she picked up the chilidog on there and take a bite. The meaty taste, she hadn't gotten used to it yet, but otherwise it was good. She had taken a liking to them, and preferred them with her stay there. Her stomach calmed as she swallowed, and she looked at him, smiling.

"Thanks Sonic."

He shrugged and sat into a seat beside her, not saying anything. The silence covered them, awkward and intense.

Ever since the event yesterday, all the time between them felt that way. It made her tummy squirm, and she set the chilidog down on it's plate. She watched her friend's face, trying to mimic the calm expression she had.

"Uh..." He murmured, and she turned her head to look at him again.

"What?"

He gulped. "I-I was wondering...er..."

She gave him a questioning look. What happened to Mr. Suave? Saving bad guys with a cocky demeanor?

"Y-You got a little chili on you mouth..." He blurted, and she blushed, reaching up to brush it off. Quickly, before she could do that, he leaned in and wiped it off with his hand, gently caressing her lips before pulling it away, not leaning back. Her heart went haywire as her blush reddened.

"S-Sonic?!" She squeaked, feeling her wings fluff a little. It stung a little, but she ignored it.

"Yeah?" He was staring into her eyes, making her melt inside. Her lips trembled, and she lost her train of thought before she heard a chuckle from the bed.

"Aww...You two are so cute together..."

Dash nearly jumped out her seat, leaning away from him quickly and looking towards the bed. A sleepy, but conscious Twilight Sparkle looked back, smiling.

"H-How m-m-much-?!"

"The part where he started to take the chili off your mouth." She giggled weakly. "You should've seen your face...It was so adorable!"

Dash looked down, crossing her arms over her chest. Her blush became more pronounced as she grumbled to herself.

Sonic chuckled to himself, leaning back and scratching his head, blushing redder than Rainbow. "W-Well.."

Twilight waved it away. "Anyway, how long was I out?"

"A day and a night..." Rainbow muttered, loud enough for her to hear. "I haven't slept since you came here."

"Rainbow! Get some sleep!" Twilight scolded, sitting up. "I'm fine, I'm well rested and tomorrow we'll be going home as soon as it's daylight!"

The winged hedgehog snapped her head up, staring at Twilight with wide eyes. "W-What?"

"Discord has overrun Equestria! He overthrew the princess, everything's a MESS!" Twilight exclaimed, pulling back the cover, much to the surprise of Dash. "What do you think I came here for? To just party over here with you while Equestria is doomed?"

"I...Just...I don't wanna go yet..." Rainbow murmured, looking down again. Her ears drooped. "I-I just..."

"You what, Rainbow?! You want everypony to suffer?"

She felt tears in her eyes. "I...I..." She sobbed and ran out of the room, her feet gaining purchase on the slippery floor. She heard Sonic behind her, but she knew she could faster than he could. Ignoring the pain, she flapped her wings to help aid her speed, and eventually she reached outside. She sprinted towards the trees, running so fast the the trees were just blurs. Once she found she was far enough, and she didn't hear anything but her own heart pounding and birds rustling in the trees, she collapsed. She hadn't stopped crying since she left, and the tears flowed freely and she choked and hiccuped on the ground.

She didn't know what was wrong with her. Her heart felt broken, and the scars from her past ripped open again to give her more reason to her sadness. She sniffed and wailed, and soon the tears started to stop. Soon she was just sniffling, curled up on the ground. The cold brushed up against her skin, and she shivered. She didn't want to go back, though. Not to only be ripped away from this world. Away from Sonic. She stopped crying, feeling her cheeks heat up thinking about him. His smile. The way he chuckled at everything she did. The way that her head would cloud up when she saw him, and all she saw was just him.

Sonic.

"Rainbow?!"

She sat up, looking around her. "S-Sonic?"

She heard the brushing of the plants as he ran to her, and he appeared before her. Even then her heart hammered, made her cheeks red.

"Your wings!" He rushed over and touched the casts, which had broken and cracked. Usually, it hurt, but this time it made her feel tingly. "Are you okay?" He met her gaze with concern.

"I-I'm...I-I'm fine now..." she stuttered out, trying to clear her thoughts. Her wings fluttered slightly under his touch.

His expression shifted to confusion. "Uh...Rainbow? Why are you staring at me like that?"

She blinked before shaking her head quickly. "Uh..."

There was silence, just like it was earlier. She couldn't take it anymore.

"Sonic, I think I...Um...Like you?" She squeaked. It made her want to act like Fluttershy, the way he was looking at her. Hide behind something.

"W-what exactly do ya m-mean?" He asked softly.

She cleared her throat, making it to where he could hear her. "I said-"

"Rainbow Dash!" Twilight ran up into the scene, and Rainbow jerked back, away from him.

"Yeah?" She asked, her voice a little shaky. She was a little mad at her for interrupting, but then again, she was grateful she didn't have to say it again.

"I'm getting a distress signal from the princess! We need to get back home now!" She grabbed Rainbow's arm, charging up her energy.

"Wait! Dash!" Sonic went to grab Rainbow, but the magic was too powerful for him to make any progress.

"Sonic! TWI! WAIT!" she saw the Twilight wasn't doing anything to stop her own magic, concentrating too hard. Seeing this, she reached towards the blue blur.

"SONIC! I'M SORRY! I-I-"

A boom, and there was nothing more, all that was left was a burnt mark in the ground. He stared at it, falling to his knees.

"Rainbow..."

(End of Chapter)

I just...

I'm such a cruel writer, aren't I?
