Ponyville hospital, Rainbow Dash's room, 4:28 PM
I looked over at the sleeping form of Rainbow Dash for the twentieth time in one hour and it wouldn't be the last. I looked at all of the wires that were attached to her body and looked at the heartbeat monitor. Her heartbeat was a steady 60 beats per minute, my eyes moved to her as her body moved. Rainbow Dash groaned and opened her eyes, she blinked a couple of times before her eyes opened in surprise.
'Ethan? What are you doing here?' Rainbow Dash asked me. I looked at her wing which had a bandage wrapped around it and her face which was just healing.
'I came here to look after you Dash. You came from the sky out of nowhere and injured yourself.' I told her. She blinked slowly.
'What do you mean injured?' she asked me, she seemed a bit disorientated.
'Your right wing Dash, you broke it. The doctor says that you need someone to look after you for three weeks while it heals. I will be the one to look after you, after all I feel like it's my responsibility to look after you because I brought you here.' I kept on looking at her as I spoke. She opened her mouth to say something put closed her mouth, she closed her eyes and sighed.
'Thank you Ethan, for bringing me here and for offering to look after me. But how can you look after me, I mean, you don't have anywhere to keep me.' She said after a few minutes of silence.
'I already have that sorted Dash, you can stay at your own house, I will have to borrow Twilight's hot air balloon to take you there. I will stay there with you for the three weeks.' Rainbow Dash looked deep in thought about what I said, after a while she spoke.
'I admit it's a good plan but you're a human, you can't walk on clouds' I looked at her, I already had that part sorted.
'I'm pretty sure Twilight would make a few cloud walking potions for me.' Rainbow Dash smiled. We stared at each other for a few minutes when there was a knock on the door.
'Come in!' I shouted so the person could hear. The door opened and Fluttershy stepped through the door.
'Hey Fluttershy, what are you doing here?' I asked her politely. She stopped in front of Rainbow's bed and looked at me.
'Oh… Well when Twilight said that there was something wrong I came as fast as I could. She said there was something you weren't telling her that was really important. And then she asked me to follow you.' When I heard that Twilight had told her to follow me I sighed.
"She just doesn't know when to drop it does she" I thought to myself.
'Did anyone else come here with you?' I asked Fluttershy who was now sat by the end of Rainbow's bed.
'Oh yes I did, I couldn't just go out alone, I brought Applejack and Rarity. I would have brought Pinkie but I couldn't find her.' I sighed once more and looked at Rainbow Dash.
'Do you feel well enough to have the others in the room?' I asked her gently. She looked at me as if I asked the most stupid question ever.
'If I can handle having a broken wing and a couple scratches then I can handle having more of my friends here. Even if they might bother me, I still have you as a bodyguard right?' I nodded at her and stood up. I walked over to the door and opened it. Applejack and Rarity were stood right outside the door. They walked inside and I closed the door. I went back to the side of the bed that I was sat on.
'Oh my, what happened to you darling?' Rarity asked Rainbow pointing a hoof at her bandaged wing.
'She had a bad landing and broke her wing' I said to Applejack, Rarity and Fluttershy. Their eyes widened in shock but soon returned to normal after seeing that she was fine.
'Ah think that she should come stay at the barn with me.' Applejack said to everyone.
'Don't stress it everyone, Ethan's going to look after me for the three weeks.' Rainbow said to them all, they looked at her and nodded.
'Don't worry darling I have too much shit to do anyway.' I looked at Rarity open-mouthed at what she just said. I then started to laugh a bit.
'Rarity just because I say something doesn't mean you can use the word. You don't even know the meaning.' I told her after my laughter had subsided. She looked at me with a confused look.
'So you didn't give Twilight permission to make multiple copies of that book she wrote called 'Human phrases'?' She asked me. I stared at her.
'For fucks sake' I muttered under my breath. Rarity nudged Applejack and whispered something in her ear. Applejack nudged Fluttershy and the three of them left. I turned to Rainbow.
'Don't read that book.' I told her after the others left. She looked at me before grinning.
'Maybe I will. Anyway are you ready to get out this place?' I nodded and held a both my hands out. She held her hoofs out and I lifted her up and held her to my chest. I opened the door with my left hand, I had to do it quickly to avoid dropping her. I walked down to the front desk and checked Rainbow out of the room then walked to the front door. Again struggling. As I stepped outside a cold blast of wind hit me from behind and made me stumble forward.
'Damn this wind' I muttered under my breath. I looked at Rainbow who was snuggling to my chest.
'Do you think you can walk?' I asked her. She looked up at me and nodded.
'I think so.' I set her down, and she was able to stand up. I walked back to Twilight's with Rainbow Dash trotting at my side. When we arrived I opened the door and let Rainbow in first, I stepped in and let the door close behind me. I saw Twilight sat on the floor by a pile of books.
'Hey Twilight, can I borrow the hot air balloon because I need to take Rainbow Dash back home. Oh and can I also take some could walking potions in my rucksack.' I saw her nod, I ran into the guest room where I was staying and grabbed my bag which was lying by the door. I ran upstairs and got the box which held the cloud walking potions and put the box in my bag, I heard a sound like bottles breaking and shrugged.
"Oh well, if they're broke they're broke." I thought to myself before running back downstairs.
'Come on Dash, let's go.' I said to before running back outside and around the back of the library where the balloon was stored. I ran around and untied it from the post and climbed in after Rainbow had climbed in first. The balloon was magically navigated so it would take you where you want, I told it to go to Rainbow's house and it set off.
Rainbow Dash's house, 5:34 PM
'Wow Twilight needs to find a faster mode of transport.' I said to Rainbow as the balloon pulled up against her house. I downed one of the potions I brought with me and climbed out of the air balloon.
'You said it Ethan, that was the slowest ride here I've ever had.' I opened the door for her and she walked inside, I walked in after her and the door closed behind me.
'Are you hungry Ethan?' Rainbow asked me as I sat down on the sofa in the main room.
'Nah, it's off to bed with me.' She looked at me before nodding.
'I'm going to get something to eat and then I will go to bed too. But where are you going to sleep?' she asked me as I kicked my blue trainers onto the floor.
'Oh don't worry I'll sleep on the couch.' I said to her before closing my eyes, I heard the sound of hooves walking away.
"Don't worry Dash, you'll be safe with me." I thought to myself before falling asleep.
