Hello everyone,

Whether you are new fans, returning fans or just curious about my writing, I welcome you.

This little RainbowScotch moment came to me out of fear if my girlfriend, wife, lover, etc started to put themselves too hard for my sake. So, a thought occurred to me about Butterscotch seeing Rainbow Dash pushing herself to death. I am sure he wouldn't want to see her hurt.

I decided to do this right after the fourth chapter to see what everyone's thoughts on it are.

So, I hope you enjoy this chapter just as much.

Chapter 5: Rest

"Go Rainbow Dash," Pinkie Cheered.

Pinkie Pie, Bubble Berry and Butterscotch were cheering for Rainbow Dash. The ball smeared right across the grass, Rainbow Dash was kicking the ball forward. She was the lead player in the game. Butterscotch glanced over Pinkie, hearing her exciting chants and felt jealous. He wished that he could show his emotions like Pinkie. Rainbow Dash was his girlfriend, so he should show his support, yet his encouragement was in whispers that carried the wind.

Rainbow Dash sat down to drink some water. She was sweating up a storm ever since the game started, yet she wasn't going to stop no matter what. Butterscotch was watching her play. Rainbow Dash wasn't going to sit out when he came out to watch her play; she had to play for his sake.

Rainbow Dash attempted to get up, but almost fell down. Her teammates rushed to her side.

"You sure you want to play, Rainbow?" One of her teammates asked.

"Yeah, you don't look too good?" Another one voiced their opinion on Rainbow's condition.

"I'm fine. I can't let him down. I need to go." Rainbow said before rushing out towards the field.

Rainbow Dash started stumbling on the field, yet she bravely fought through it. She didn't want to let her boyfriend down. It wouldn't have been cool. Even if she was on fire, Rainbow Dash would have continued to play the game.

Butterscotch scanned the area to find Rainbow Dash. He noticed that she was a bit tired and often staggered.

"I wonder if Rainbow Dash is okay." Butterscotch worried.

"Relax Butterscotch," Pinkie said while munching on some popcorn. "Rainbow Dash is doing just fine. She always looks like that during her games."

"Yeah, Rainbow Dash is a pro, she can brush it off." Bubble Berry tried to convince Butterscotch that Dash was going to be alright.

Shaking his head, Butterscotch laughed a little bit while holding some concern. "You are right. Go Rainbow Dash."

Rainbow Dash kept panting as she faced off against her opponent. She glared seeing the opposite girl concerned for her well being. "I am fine, let's do this."

Dash didn't realize that her opponent had kicked the ball right past her. The cyan teen turned over trying to catch up to her. However, everyone was noticing how slowly that Rainbow Dash was moving.

Butterscotch stood up witnessing his girlfriend tripping on the ground, while everyone else viewed the soccer ball that made it into the Canterlot High's goal. Everything didn't seem out of the ordinary, until everyone noticed that Rainbow Dash hadn't gotten up after her tumble. A few teammates rushed to her aid. Butterscotch shrieked when he saw the horror in her team's faces.

"Rainbow Dash!" Butterscotch screamed.

He saw the referee, coach and various others attending to Rainbow Dash. Butterscotch quickly escaped the sea of people and quickly ran down to the field. However, he was stopped by the stone wall like security that blocked his path.

"We're sorry, we can't let you through." One of them said.

"Pleases, you have to let me through. She is my girlfriend. I need to see if she is okay." Butterscotch panicked as he tried to find a way through the bulky security guard.

The coach saw Butterscotch being pushed back. She ran over to the three guards and grabbed Butterscotch. "He's with me."

Both Butterscotch and the coach went over to see an unconscious Rainbow Dash lying on the ground. Butterscotch saw the unconscious girlfriend barely breathing. It looked like she was frozen in place.

"Is she okay?" Butterscotch questioned before looking down seeing her face as if she was asleep. Dash looked as if she was roasting in an oven.

"She was really pushing herself," One of them said.

"Yeah, for some reason, you being here was the only thing she cared about." Another voice sighed.

Butterscotch looked down seeing why Rainbow Dash suddenly collapsed on the field. He shook his head knowing that she was fighting sleep, training herself too often and seeing that she insisted that he should go to her game.

The coach saw the ambulance arriving. "Dang it, I really don't want to call off the game, but I have to."

"Let me go with her to the hospital. I will update the team on her condition." Butterscotch looked at the coach, who agreed to the idea.

Butterscotch watched the paramedics checking Rainbow's vitals and making sure everything was okay with the sport star. Everyone saw Butterscotch getting into the truck with Rainbow Dash still unresponsive. He nods before the doors closed and he was driving off with Rainbow Dash.

The coach looked over seeing a gray skinned student eager to play. She sighed with great regret, "Alright Derpy, you are in."

The excited teen stood stripped out of her cheer outfit and into a soccer uniform. "YAY. Its Derpy's time to shine!"

Butterscotch sat down as soon as the doctors left the room. He turned over and seeing that Rainbow Dash hasn't woken up. He made up the excuse that he was engaged to Rainbow Dash. The nurses saw through his lies, but knew his circumstances were dire and let him be with her the whole way through.

"Rainbow, why didn't you tell me you were tired?" Butterscotch sighed. He felt worried about his girlfriend. She pushed herself like always. Unlike the other times, she didn't end up in the hospital.

"UGH, what happened?" Butterscotch smiled when he saw Rainbow Dash was waking up from her nap. Her eyes had many bags and it was hard to look at him, but she knew who he was.

"Rainbow!" Butterscotch moved his chair a bit closer to Rainbow Dash. He was relieved that she was alright. Butterscotch feared the worst. He moved his chair to get a little closer to her.

"What happened? Did we win or lose? Oh pleases tell me everything went alright with the game." Rainbow Dash panicked.

Butterscotch's face changed from concern to deep rage. She cared more for the game than her own life. Butterscotch could have said something, but the door opened as Pinkie Pie and Bubble Berry ran into the room.

"Are you okay, Dash?" Bubble Berry announced.

"The doctor told us that you were in this room. We came to check up on you." Pinkie Pie worried.

"I am alright," Rainbow Dash smiled. Pinkie Pie had called all of their friends to tell them that Rainbow Dash was in the hospital and that she was alright. However, Butterscotch only looked at Rainbow Dash with hurtful eyes. He couldn't believe she put her own health at risk on the grounds of some game. He was worried about her, but all she cared about was her game. Butterscotch walked outside as he couldn't stand to be in the room anymore.

Rainbow Dash handed the phone to Pinkie Pie. The rest of her friends knew about her circumstances and why she ended up at the hospitial. With them imformed, Rainbow rested easily, but she took great notice that her boyfriend was missing.

"Huh, where did he go?"

Outside the room, Butterscotch paced back and forth. He was anger with Rainbow about how it didn't faze her that she had collapsed. He stomped the ground and felt very upset at his girlfriend.

"I can't believe this. I knew she was putting her own health at risk and she acts like she doesn't care." Butterscotch crossed his arms and sighed.

The doctor was walking towards the hospital room. He had a clipboard with him and Butterscotch saw the expression on his face. It looked like it was full of relieve. Butterscotch sighed as he walked right back into the room. He knew that Rainbow Dash would be just fine. She would just walk this off.

XxxX

"What do you mean I need rest?" Rainbow Dash yelled at the doctor.

"Dash, you collapsed in the middle of the field because you were tired. That's a sign of fatigue." The doctor said.

"Isn't there anything you can give me that I can walk this off or something." Dash panicked.

"I am afraid not, Rainbow Dash." The doctor answered. "You were exhausting your body to a horrific level. I am afraid you are going to be bed-ridden here for three days and then, stay in your own bed for an additional four days, just to be certain."

"Doctor," Butterscotch raised his hand. Rainbow Dash was satisfied with her boyfriend coming to her aid. "Do you mind if I spend a few days here at the hospital? I just want to make sure she is alright and she will get the proper rest she needs. She is a stubborn one."

As the doctor talked to Butterscotch, Rainbow Dash couldn't believe what she was hearing. Why was he siding with the doctors?

After everyone left, Butterscotch and Rainbow Dash were alone together. Butterscotch looked over to her and smiled. "Are you alright? Do you want your pillow fluffed or do you want me to fix your blanket?"

"I want you to get my clothes, because we are going home," Rainbow Dash tried to get up, but her boyfriend put his hand on her body.

"You're not going anywhere. You are staying on that bed and getting some rest." Butterscotch told her.

"Butterscotch, the team needs me. So, if you are not helping me, get out of my way." Rainbow Dash brushed her boyfriend's hand off her.

Suddenly, Butterscotch tackled her and landed on top of the hospital bed with her in the bed. "Rainbow Dash, you are not leaving this bed."

"Butterscotch, get off me."

"No!" He yelled,

Rainbow Dash stopped when she heard her boyfriend's voice. She saw that he was lying on top of her trying to keep his weight on her. Even though she could have thrown him off, but she didn't want to hurt him. Besides, she would never get to see him being on top of her like this. It was actually quite arousing to watch.

"Rainbow Dash, you are staying in this bed and you are getting some rest. I don't care what I have to do to keep you on this bed, but you are going to get some rest."

Rainbow Dash watched her boyfriend. She didn't want to let the team down, but she saw how concerned Butterscotch was for her health. She knew if she kept trying to leave the hospital, Butterscotch would start crying and she hated to make him cry. She decided to do things his way.

"Fine, I will get some rest." Dash sighed. She saw that he got off her chest and fixed her sheets and blankets. Another advantage of having a boyfriend was that he was doing things for her that she could have done herself.

Butterscotch smiled. He was glad that she would listen to him and that she would get some rest. However, Rainbow Dash didn't want him to have the satisfaction of being right. If she had to suffer through this, then he had to suffer something as well. "On one condition…"

Butterscotch turned around when he heard that his girlfriend would sleep with only one condition. What could she ask of him? "What is it?"

"I want you to sleep next to me wearing what is in the bag right there," Rainbow Dash pointed to the other side of the bed. She retrieved it within reach of her arm and pulls it to him.

Butterscotch grabs the bag from Dash and quickly looked at the contents. He deeply blushed before looking at Rainbow Dash. "I can't wear this, it's too embarrassing."

"Come on, you are the one who said you wanted me to feel better? Seeing you in that does make me feel better." Rainbow Dash sheepishly said while twirling a bit of her hair. It was a complete lie, but she wanted him to suffer as much as she was.

"Are you sure?"

"Do you want me to get some rest?"

Butterscotch nods his head slowly.

"Then, I require you to dress in that."

Butterscotch blushed seeing the contents of the bag. He really didn't want to wear what was in the bag, however Rainbow Dash insisted on it. Butterscotch wanted to do everything in his power in order to make Rainbow Dash get some rest, even if it meant wearing an embarrassing outfit.

Rainbow Dash fixed herself on the bed and moved to the left side. She couldn't wait to see how her boyfriend would look in the outfit that she asked Bubble Berry to retrieve from her house.

Butterscotch paced himself slowly as he exited the bathroom. He present his outfit to Rainbow Dash like a child would in a costume or wearing nice clothes. Butterscotch shyly turned his face away from Rainbow Dash. He really didn't want to see her expression when she reviewed him on his outfit.

Rainbow Dash had to hold back her laughter. She had picked out a basketball outfit for Halloween, but the shorts were too short on Butterscotch. The school would be against it since it breaks the school dress code. She couldn't contain it anymore. Rainbow Dash was laughing in her bed.

"It's not funny, Dash." Butterscotch blushed. This moment was becoming like the time that Butterscotch wore no pants to school.

"I'm sorry. It's just too funny." Rainbow Dash beats on her pillow to contain her laughter. It could rival Pinkie Pie's. Dash saw her boyfriend getting mad at her, but even that made it funny. It was as if Butterscotch wet his pants.

"Okay, I had my laugh." Dash patted the bed to make sure her boyfriend was by her side.

Butterscotch walked over to the bed before sliding in next to Dash. She was about to cuddle up next to him, however, Butterscotch stopped her. "No Dash, you stay on your side."

"I can't even cuddle with you?"

"I said I would join you. I didn't say that we should cuddle." Butterscotch blushed. There were two reasons that Butterscotch didn't want Dash to cuddle with him. The first reason was that he was still mad at Dash for laughing at him. The shorts were too revealing and Butterscotch didn't want to wear them. The second reason was a certain part of him was reacting to Rainbow's expression. He didn't want Dash to discover it at all. It already affect the shorts, He wouldn't be able to handle Rainbow Dash's discovery of it.

Dash pouted as she avoided looking at him. Suddenly, Butterscotch lightly hugged her. She turns her eyes to see the young man hugging her in confront. Rainbow Dash wasn't an idiot. She knew why he was avoiding cuddling and she didn't care.

"I love you, Dashy."

The cyan skinned girl gasped when she heard his words. They might have been old , but it didn't matter to her. Each time she heard it felt like the first time he told her. She smiled and turns her body to cuddle with him. He was about to say something but Dash beat him to it.

"If you try to push me away I will knee you and you aren't going to like where I knee you."

Butterscotch chuckled. He took the blanket to cover himself and Dash on the bed. He felt her body on him. Butterscotch stared at the sports girl as she tried to find the right way to sleep on him. The jersey he wore was comforting to her.

Rainbow Dash shut her eyes and tried to go to sleep, but for some reason she couldn't. She never told Butterscotch of the truth. The real reason she couldn't go to sleep or get any rest. It was all because of a dream she had.

She was at school preparing to win the big game against their rivals. It was a basketball game, one of the games Rainbow was good at. Before she jumped to focus on the winning shot, she saw her boyfriend getting up. What he told her made her focus on him.

"I hate you and I am breaking up with you!"

His words stung her like a thousand swarming bees. Rainbow Dash has been dumped by Butterscotch over a few times, but despite that, they have always gotten back together. The dream felt so real. It felt as if it was the last time they would be together. Rainbow Dash collapsed on the ground as she looked to her boyfriend, who was currently leaving the game. She didn't care if she won or lost the match. The important thing to her was her relationship with Butterscotch. Sure, she won and lost games, but Butterscotch was the biggest game of her life. She couldn't afford to lose him. Rainbow Dash felt the tears floating down her cheeks.

"BUTTERSCOTCH, don't leave me alone!" Rainbow Dash screamed before shouting his name.

Rainbow Dash abruptly woke up from her nightmares. She was frightened again by her dreams. She glanced down seeing Butterscotch was smiling in his sleep. Rainbow Dash sighed before she felt the arms clutching her and she dropped down to his chest like an anchor.

"Butterscotch," She grumbled before noticing a nurse had seen the whole thing.

"Ah, seems you are awake."

"Sorry, I didn't realize what time…" Rainbow Dash looked out her curtains seeing they were dark.

The nurse knew Rainbow would ask for the time, "It's about midnight."

"Ohhhh," Rainbow glanced down. Visiting hours were over and knew the nurse would ask Rainbow to wake up her boyfriend and make him leave. However, Rainbow Dash noticed the nurse looked at the couple.

"I know visiting hours are over, but I think I can bend the rules for you just this once," The nurse smiled.

As Rainbow Dash cuddled with Butterscotch again, the nurse smiled at the happy couple, "Must be a great boyfriend, huh?"

Rainbow Dash lifted her head to hear the nurse, "That boyfriend of yours must be pretty special to sleep with you like that. Trust me, I see all sorts of couples sleeping here together."

Rainbow Dash has always admired her boyfriend, yet she never always thought the lengths he went to just to make her happy. Rainbow Dash lowered her eyes seeing her boyfriend sleeping with her, "Yeah, he is a special one. He is someone that I wouldn't give up for all the trophies in the world."

After the nurse left, Rainbow Dash cuddled with her boyfriend. She put most of her body on his chest. She looked up at him. Rainbow Dash felt lucky that he was her boyfriend. Sure, having one wasn't a requirement, but it felt like Butterscotch filled up the missing piece of her life.

She would be content with it for now. Now, she needed rest and she was going to get plenty of it in Butterscotch's arms.

Well, wasn't that exciting.

I have to admit that Butterscotch would do anything for Dash and likewise with Dash. I feel that they are great friends, but even make better for a relationship.

So, tell me your thoughts on this chapter, this couple and you own thoughts for future chapters.

Until then, see you later.
