But enough Dilly dallying, ONTO THE STORY!

My stomach cramped as I glared up to the ceiling. The bright luminescent lights shone down the long hallway as Gilda forced in a kick. But before the steel toe boot hit me, I blocked it off to the side, jumping up, knocking my fist upward into the jaw of Gilda. She shot back, stunned by the blow. She lost her footing but found it before she hit the floor, stopping her self with the support of the stairwell railing. Spitfire was about to jump in, but Gilda gave her a glare.

"NO! I'm gonna make this bitch think twice before she hits me. COME HERE!"

Gilda shot her self forward, being helped by the railing for a greater launch speed. Her fist clenched as she wound her fist back, but ducking, I jabbed her stomach, pushing her back again.

"You know you loved me Rainbow, we used to be together. Don't you remember?!" Gilda shot a red faced glare.

"Those are the days I have forgotten you cunt!" I shot back, advancing with speed.

Catching her off guard, my fist met her right jaw, slamming her to a wall. I proceeded punching, not holding back. Her face leaked with blood, tears formed as she knelt against a doorway.

"I WILL NEVER LOVE YOU AGAIN!" I shouted to her, proceeding to kick her stomach.

Blood flowed from her mouth, but she begin to form a grin. To see what she was looking at, I turned, only to be met with an aluminum bat, which knocked me out. I felt the ground under me as everything went black.

Waking up, I noticed we were in my apartment. I was tied to a chair in the kitchen.

"You won't love me Rainbow...But you will remember this."

I looked over to Gilda, holding the bat, her face stained with blood. Spitfire was off to the side.

"Gilda, let's change her mind."

She advanced raising the bat above her head, ready to swing. It came down with force, but right before it hit me, the bat stopped.

"Not when I'm around!"

I looked up to see Applejack holding the bat, looking at me. She smiled, but went back to Gilda.

"Well if it isn't the cowwh-"

Gilda's sentence was cut short from Applejack whipping the bat back to her face, knocking her to the ground. She took the bat and threw it off to the side toward me. Applejack swiftly turned her head to Spitfire, who advanced with brass knuckles. The first fist throw came from AJ, which swept the left jaw of Spitfire, spitting blood on the kitchen tile. AJ didn't hold back as she brought her left fist up to meet Spitfire's stomach, making her wind get knocked out. Spitfire fell back to the living room, dazed and bloody.

While this was happening, a grabbed the edge of the table with my tied hands and pulled over to the counter. I hit the counter, knocking the knife holder over, sliding one toward me. It landed in my hand, as I begin to cut free. Gilda was still on the ground, looking to get up, so I knew I didn't have much time. When I finished, the roped fell limp around me, as I advanced for Gilda.

"Well bitch, lets fight!" I shouted, advancing with closed fists in front of me. Gilda slowly raised fists, shaking the headache away as she swung. The shot hit my shoulder, which surprised me. I think she was aiming for the arm, but miscalculated. I used the disadvantage to use as my right cross hit her right in the nose. The snap echoed in the cold, barren kitchen as her head shot backward.

"FUCK!" She shouted, covering her nose.

"Come on Gilda, I know you can fight harder than that." I taunted, bringing her to her feet.

Her nose was crooked as she looked up. Blood dripped from it as she swung. I ducked, dodging the oncoming assault. My legs propelled my next hit as I knocked her nose back into place, offering another snap with it. She didn't get fazed as her fist hit my cheek, knocking me to the opposite kitchen counter. I slipped on the ground from the blood, landing on my arm. I heard a snap as I shot upward. The arm had broke, but I had to continue fighting. Slowly, I snapped it back into place, feeling pain rush through my arm. Gilda stayed where she was, as she grabbed her nose in pain.

I looked over to see Applejack yelling at Spitfire, throwing her to the wall, continuing her jabs at her face. Spitfire's face was red stained, tears flowed from her as Applejack persistently wielded her other fist. Both working simultaneously against the athletic girl.

"NEVER HURT MY RAINBOW..EVER!" She screamed at her, not holding back her hits.

She brought her knee up, bringing Spitfire's head downward. Her face was soon met with AJ's fist again as she shot it right in her nose.

My view was short lived as Gilda's knee rocked my innards.

"YOU WILL REMEMBER RAINBOW. BUT FOR NOW, FUCK YOU!" she yelled, sending her fist into the air, knocking it into my stomach. I hit the counter again, knocking into a fetal position. Gilda advanced, but was met with my fist. I hit her jaw again, and heard a snap from it. She shot back, stumbling over the bat Applejack had thrown over. She slipped, knocking to the ground. I shot forward, meeting my fist with her jaw again. She backed to the fridge as I proceeded to kick her stomach. I didn't stop.

I only stopped from a hand grasping my shoulder. I turned to hit, but stopped. It was Applejack, who had blood running from her lip.

"She's had enough Rainbow." She looked down.

I joined her, only to see blood on the floor and Gilda crunched up, shaking. Her hands were bloodshot from grabbing her face. Blood ran from her crystal white forehead and from her bottom lip. I grabbed her by the arm forcefully, shoving her toward the doorway. Applejack had grabbed Spitfire, who was cradled in a rope AJ had on her belt. She picked her up as she brought the bleeding girl out the doorway. I followed, dragging the now unconscious Gilda down the hallway.

After Gilda woke up and Spitfire was out of the ropes, we shoved them down the stairwell, making sure they were standing by the door.

"We will be back bitch.." Gilda mumbled, to hurt to shout. They made their way out the door, tumbling into Spitfire's car.

"And good riddance." Applejack looked over with a grin.

"AJ? How'd you know I needed help...I mean how'd you know they were here?" I looked up to meet her green eyes.

"I saw them driving by on my way to the farm. They had bats and knuckles around them. I was worried so I came to check on you. I couldn't find you in the hallways so I used that spare key you gave me to get into the apartment, where I saw you strapped to a chair."

I grabbed her in for a hug, holding her tightly. "Thank you AJ. THANK YOU SO MUCH." I went back, seeing a surprised expression on her face.

"RD! Your arm!" She shouted over to me.

I looked down to see my arm bleeding while bending the other way.

"When did this happen?!" I abruptly shouted.

I thought back to the fight with Gilda, remembering I adjusted it during the battle.

"We need to get to the hospital now." AJ picked me up, hurrying to her truck. My vision began to get blurry as the faded sound of a large door swinging closed echoed in my ear drum.

I heard a faint cry from Applejack."Rainbow, just hang in there!"

Her voice began to fade as the sight of street lights and fall bitten trees passed over head. The last thing I saw was AJ, fading away as I was rushed into the emergency room.

I woke up in a cold room. The walls were colored with a puke green. I looked over to see an IV in my right arm, and a blood pouch hanging above me. The door swung open as a doctor stepped in.

"Ah Rainbow Dash, finally awake. My name is Hooves, Dr. Hooves, I will be your doctor for today." He grinned as he came over to my side, checking my heart rate.

"Hey doc, how long have I been out?" I looked over to face him as pain shot through my aching body.

"Only a day. Your surgery went fast and was very successful. Keep that arm safe. OK?"

I looked down to see a large cast on my left arm. It was filled with signatures of my friends. Each had their own distinct writing. Scanning down, I noticed Applejack hadn't signed it. This worried me.

"Hey Doctor Hooves? Is there a girl named Applejack here?" I looked back over to him before he left the room.

"Oh, Applejack? She's in the waiting room. I 'll inform her you're awake. " He went out the door, leaving me sitting alone in a large bed.

The door shot open. I looked over to see Applejack standing in the doorway with balloons and a sharpie.

"Hey their Rainbow...I hope it isn't too late to sign that there cast." She smiled, her eyes shimmering from the rays of sun that shot through the blinds.

"Anything for you."

She proceeded toward me, sitting on the bed while she tied the balloons to my bed. AJ leaned over to my arm, crossing my body. Her skin felt warm against mine as she signed the cast. I lifted my right arm, rubbing her back, feeling bumps.

"What are these bumps AJ?" I looked over to see her capping the sharpie.

"Spitfire plays pretty mean. Her brass knuckles knocked my back a few times before I got ahold of the fight." She looked over at me.

I was about to say something but was stopped short from her kiss. She leaned closer in as we continued. My body ached from her laying across it, her weight resting on my cast.

The kiss was stopped short by a voice in the background. I shot up to see who it was. The girl stood in the doorway, staring at us. AJ shot up, looking at her with a surprised look.

"I just wanted to check on you guys...that's all." Fluttershy walked in with flowers.

"Uh,uh….Flutters. This isn't what it looks like at all." Applejack sat up, hopping off the bed.

" AJ" I spoke up.

"Fluttershy it wasn't.." Aj continued to talk.

"AJ!" I abruptly spoke, hurting my stomach. I bent forward, straining the pain while talking through my teeth."Fluttershy knows."

"What in the hay y'all talkin' 'bout?" Her country drawl began to come out thicker. She questioned, shooting her look toward me.

"I told Flutters weeks into the relationship. I didn't want to tell you because I thought you'd be mad…"

"Rainbow I'd never be mad. It just startled me that she walked in on us…"

Fluttershy spoke through her hair as she covered her face from embarressment. "Sorry...I'll just leave…."

"No, Fluttershy it's fine." AJ turned to face her. "I have to actually ask you a few questions..."

"Like what?" Her shyness began to leave as she advanced into the small room.

"Who in the hey is Gilda?" Applejack rested her hands on her hips, tilting her head off to the side in confusion.

"G-G-GILDA?!" Fluttershy backed slowly to

the doorway.

"Ya...Gilda. You know who she is?" AJ proceeded forward.

"NO ONE!" Fluttershy exclaimed, tears running down her face. She stepped backward, turned, and sprinted out of the room.

Applejack tried to follow but couldn't see her in the halls. She stood in the doorway, looking down. She must've gotten an idea because she perked her head up, slowly turning to face me as casually as she could.

"So...Rainbow..." Applejack closed the doorway slowly, locking it behind her as she stepped forward farther into the room. "Who the fuck is Gilda?"

I tried turning from the subject as quickly as possible. "AJ, I've never heard you say the f word so unvaryingly!" I grinned, seeing if she would veer the subject another way.

"Rainbow don't give me that shit. Who is she?!"

My face turned red. I knew shed leave me if I told her. "WOW is it got in here how's about you crack a window huh?" I strained the words out, trying to look in pain.

"WHO IS SHE?!" Applejack came forward, puttin her hands on either side of my head, resting them on my bed which was now propped upward.

"I guess there isn't much use to fight huh..." I leaned up more, making Applejack stand straight up. "Gilda. She was a Junior when I was a freshmen. Gilda had charisma and power, which is why I liked her. Halfway through the year, she began to like me...A LOT."

Applejack pulled a chair forward."And?"

"And we dated. We lived each other a lot, and nothing would seperate us,...that is until I was knocked sense into by Rarity. Only she knew, and she also knew what Gilda was like...The relationship got tough for me, and when I didn't do what she wanted, I was hit by her." I let out a sigh and continued."She knew I wasn't interested anymore, so she began to be rough, so rough that she broke my arm...this exact same arm right here." I pointed to my cast, and AJ followed her eyes down to it as tears began to feel heavy in her eyes.

She looked up, her eyes now red, and blinked, shattering the tear down her cheek."Oh Rainbow!" She exclaimed, leaning in for a hug. "Y'all could've told me dat.." She whispered to me as she leaned back up.

"I thought you wouldn't love me anymore.." I looked down at my bed sheets, thinking back to those dark times.

"Rainbow, I will always love you!" She came closer.

"Gilda is a very dark person. She makes her own rules and doesn't follow other's." I looked up to see tears streaming across

the tab cheek of AJ, which made me began to tear up, but I held back.

"We never spoke of her again after I told Fluttershy what was going on. Twilight, Spike and you were to never know, thinking it could end our friendship...I'm sorry AJ.."

"Y'all don't be sorry, it's that crystal haired prick that's going to feel sorry. NOW, let's get y'all outta here..Touve got a chapmionship to win, and we gotta dance to go to tommarow!"

She shot up, bringing a gust of wind upward with her. Applejack began to undo my IV, moving the blood bag off to the side.

"Doc said that when the fan was half full, to remove this stuff anyway.." Applejack continued her working of getting my clothes off the chair to my right.

She pulled the sheets off, showing my green tunic. It felt cold as I sat up, fighting back the cringing pain in my stomach. We had to get out fast, doin threw my clothes on in a flash. Applejack peeked her head out the doorway, signaling me over.

"Let's get the hey outta here." She smiled over, breaking out to the doors

that led outside. I followed, the pain began fading as I got used to it. Her truck was waiting right outside. We hopped in, shutting the doors quickly and peeling out of the parking lot.

"AJ, how am I supposed to run with this cast on?" Inlooked at her with a worry.

"I'll cut it when we get to your place and make a lighter material cast so it doesn't affect your performance. I made one when I broke my leg." She assured, shofting into fourth gear, speeding. Down the highway.

We sped into the parking lot, drifting into my. Reserved parking spot up front. For a price of shit truck, it's got some moves. Applejack guided me up the stairs to my apartment, which was still opened. A trail of blood left the apartment, dragging all the way to the stairs. It looked much like a murder. We entered the doorway, only to see blood on the kitchen tile, dropped knives and bats, blood on the carpet, and my curtains hanging off by a screw.

"Y'all go to your room while I get suppose and clean." Applejack looked toward the kitchen, walking as she spoke.

I proceeded to the room, which was right next to the living room. I waited as I heard drawers slamming and footsteps on the tile.

Only minutes passed as Applejack entered the room, scissors and some kind of wrapping material with her.

"Y'all just relax, I'll take care of this." AJ closed the door behind her with we foot, flicking the lights on.

After at least an hour of pain and screaming, I was fitted with a flexible cast, which let me bend my arm where I could.

"Wow AJ! Where's you learn to do this?" I looked up to see her out the French doors that served as an entrance to my room.

She slightly yield as I heard clattering of drawers again. "Old family recipe!"

Of course...an old family recipe. Her family always has old recipes. I walked out of the room. The pain had subsided, and it actually felt comfortable to walk around again.

AJ turned around, smiling. "Now let's get you to that race Rainbow."

I looked over to see that we only had an hour to get there for the first sprints. "Then what are we waiting for?! Let's go!" I shouted on my way out the door.

Applejack followed at a steady pace, keeping up with me. The truck bumped ground as we made our way out of the parking lot. The drive was quick since butterflies formed in my stomach, making time go by faster for me.

We arrived at school, the track full of runners and fans. Every bleacher was filled with cheering fans as the first set of runners from opposing schools raced. We had to speed up to the track in order to make it in time for roll call. The representer for the championships called my name right when I arrived.

"HERE!" I rushed over to my team, trying to not look winded.

"Ah, Miss Dash. Good to have you." She looked at her clipboard."It seems we are missing one person, a Miss Fire?" Looking up, she glanced around with a question on her face."Must be sick. Well, the games shall continue." She left us, saying we had only 10 minutes before the first race for our team.

"Ladies, heres how it's goin' down." I made them form a half moon around me, resting my hands on my hips. "Soarin, you take first sprint, don't hold back." He glared up and nodded, pulling his leg up to stretch it."Gotcha Dash." He assured, resting his leg back to the ground.

"Alright, next up we'll have Bon Bon. After is alphabetical, so get in line according. I'll be last, unless Spits shows up."

The team shuffled into position as the women came over. "Alright, first up." She called over as Soarin jogged over into position.

He actually placed first, destroying the competition behind him by lengths. Soarin came back to the group with a slip, saying he places for finals.

"A Miss Bon Bon is up." The instructor looked over as Bon Bon made her way to the track.

After 10 min, I was up. The butterflies inside me began eating away at my innards as I set up on the pegs.

"You can do it Rainbow!" I looked over at the stands to see my friends with banners and rainbow uniforms. "Leave 'em in the dust!" I smiled, giving a thumbs up to them as I focused on my competition, which didn't seem too hard.

The starter raised the gun. As he pulled the trigger, my legs responded, kicking into overdrive as I passed competition back and forth. My heart began to pound hard as I passed the first stretch, full on sprinting for the line, which I crossed first. My arm began to tense as I slowed down, bounding on the ground. My face was red, blood began to flow faster throughout my body. I looked up to see a record time on the scoreboard. I heard screams as they announced my name over the intercom. It relieved all of my stress as I made my way back to the team, who congratulated me.

The rest of the races went by fast as me and Soarin were called up to the main gate, getting ready to run the championship race. In order for our school to win, Soarin had to place 2nd and me 1st. We took places as the man raised the gun. Time began to slow down, and everything became brighter. The crack of the gun rocked my body as I shot from the steps, gaining first right from the gate. Soarin was close behind as we rounded the first turn. Our formations staggered as another girl advanced past Soarin, but he regained as the last turn was passed. I crossed, shortly followed by Soarin, who rested his hands on his hips, seeming out of breath. I put my hands over my head with fists as I walked over to Soarin, who met me with a hug.

"We did it Dash. We're champs!" I released from his grasp smiling. I looked over to see my friends waiting, but Applejack didn't look happy, more of a stunned and surprised shock. I made my way over to them, but was cut off by a distinct voice that sounded quiet.

"Nice race Rainbow…." I looked over as goosebumps trailed my skin.
