The Sonic Boom
Ch. 4 How'd it happen?
Normal POV
"Uhh… no not really…" AJ stomped up to the hedgehog and pointed a threatening hoof on his chest.
"You best not of hurt my friend if you know what's good for you." Sonic shook a bit. Rainbow Dash's bandaged hooves were his fault.
"Well I'm sorry I did," AJ took that a bit as smart talk and a threat she was about to turn around and give him a real good bang with a kick back of a hoof,
"ON ACCIDENT!" Rainbow Dash quickly pulled back AJ before she would give him a bruise he wouldn't forget.
"I told you, we're cool now, there's nothing to worry about."
"Nothing's cool when someone hurts my friend. Why is this blue blur here anyway?"
"Working on it!" Twilight yelled from the back of a pile of books both her and Spike were searching through.
"Apple Jack," Fluttershy walked to her friend, "You can't blame him, Rainbow Dash isn't mad at him anymore, and this was all some strange accident."
"YEA!" Pinkie Pie said she then cocked her head at Sonic, "How'd you get your hair like that?"
"Well I'm a hedgehog so it's naturally spikey." Pinkie Pie began to jump around him again,
"It's so cool and FUN! Wish I could have my hair like that."
"Oh please!" Rarity rolled her eyes, "Pinkie you're such a card!" Everyone laughed until an avalanche of books came toppling down, but not on them, on Twilight and Spike. Twilight poked her head out digging in the pile and pulling out both Spike and a book.
"I found it!" Sonic zoomed up to her,
"You mean, you found out why I'm here!" Twilight smiled proudly,
"Yep!" Twilight opened the book, "Okay let me see if I can find the page again!" Twilight flipped and turned for about 15 seconds until her hoof went smack down on a page, "HERE!" All the friends gathered around her, "Two places of two different times, will meet when they are reaching the exact same time." Sonic cocked an eyebrow,
"I don't think that's the answer, it sounds like a riddle." Twilight nodded,
"It means that two dimensions are split when two are going the exact same speed." Pinkie Pie fainted.
"Rainbow Dash this is why I told you to stop." Rainbow Dash stared at the floor,
"I'm sorry, I mean how was I supposed to know?! It's not like you can have your eyes open while you're flying downward!"
"Well didn't you hear me calling out!?"
"I thought you were just worried about my safety!"
"Then why weren't you concerned about your safety?!"
"BECAUSE I KNEW I COULD HANDLE IT!" Rainbow Dash just stared at the ground her breath becoming more and more shaky, "And I'm sorry."
You're responsible for ruining two lives RD. Two lives. How'd you manage to do that?
Rainbow Dash held her head in anger at herself and quickly went outside, this was so unlike her. She wasn't being strong, she couldn't if she knew that herself being strong and cool had just ruined a life. She barely even knew the guy.
"Rainbow Dash?" Sonic came up behind her and put a hand on her shoulder, the same place he was holding onto as he screamed for his life. "It's not your fault." Rainbow Dash swallowed bitterly continuing to stare at the ground,
"It is! You can't erase the fact. Sonic I ruined your life!" RD hiccupped and quickly turned around feeling something wet in her eyes, "Believe me I'm really really sorry! I can't even-" RD could feel herself begin to brake tears began to roll down her face and then rain on the ground. She furiously wiped those tears away. "I can't even fix this! I can't even do anything to make this right!" More tears came and she plopped her butt down on the ground her hair now soaked with the rain coming from the sky. Sonic walked up behind her, again putting a hand on that shoulder. Rainbow Dash flinched and got up to face him, "Aren't you mad! Aren't you going to yell at me or something?" He shook his head,
"I don't need to, you feel guilty enough." Rainbow Dash sighed and stared at the ground. "You don't like crying do you?" asked Sonic, "You always hide your face when you do." Rainbow Dash nodded,
"My father said it was a sign of weakness. I'm supposed to be the determination in this group and I'm failing at it." Sonic put his hands on her shoulders,
"It's okay to cry every once in a while, it doesn't mean you're weak, it actually means you're strong enough to show your true emotions." Sonic wiped her eyes a bit,
"Now stop crying."
"You just said it's okay to cry." Both of them laughed and Sonic held his hips proudly. He'd had never really comforted a girl in his life, and he just did it, a pretty good job too. "Thanks Sonic and I'm sorry."
"It's okay; heaven knows I've ignored my friends' warnings when I've gone too fast."
