- "Why do you keep doing this to yourself Dashie?"
- >She doesn't say anything, instead, she stares at the ground as she trots along next to you.
- >Yet another ugly bruise covered half her face, with a swollen lump covering up her eye.
- "Don't you realise how much it hurts me to see you like this? Do you think I want to see you battered and bruised all the time?"
- >A tear drops onto the ground below Dash. Followed by another. And another.
- >You arrive at the library.
- >You knock on the door and wait.
- >Half a second later, Twilight opens the door and ushers you in.
- >The rest of the mane 6 are there.
- >Rainbow looks around nervously, and attempts to back out of the library.
- >You move behind her to block her path.
- "A-anon-"
- "Rainbow listen to me. You need help. I'm worried about you, your friends are worried about you. Please just tell us why you're doing this to yourself."
- "C'mon sugarcube, we're here for you, no matter what, you can tell us."
- >Rainbow squints at Applejack, barely able to see her due to the swelling around her eyes.
- "I-i can't."
- "Of course you can darling. We're not going to judge you or mock you. We're your friends, we're here to help.
- >Dash flares up her wings angrily, a dangerous look spreads across her face.
- "I-i don't want your help, I don't need it!"
- "But look at yourself Rainbow, what in tarnation made you do this to yourself?"
- "I can't tell you!"
- >Twilight steps forward, a tears glistening in her eyes.
- "We want to help, Rainbow Dash, no matter what-"
- "NO!"
- >In one swift movement Dash bucks you to the ground and flies straight out the door.
- >You grab your stomach and wince at the pain.
- >The group rush over and help you up.
- "She's lost her mind. Just how can she do this to herself?"
- >You look at Twilight, struggling to give her a definite answer.
- "I don't know, but I need to go talk to her. Alone."
- >You stand in silence in the air balloon, as it carries you towards Rainbow Dash's house.
- >Fear mongering thoughts plague your mind, poisoning it with rancid thoughts of Dash's demise.
- >You quickly shake the thoughts away and speed up the balloon.
- >Within minutes you reach Rainbow's house.
- >You anchor the balloon and tentatively step onto the cloud, hoping Twilight's cloud walking spell works.
- >You stay on the cloud.
- >Relieved, you walk towards the house, wasting no time.
- >You open the door and make your way upstairs.
- >You hear Dash in her room, mumbling to herself.
- >You slowly inch towards the door, listening intently.
- "Stupid stupid pony, you're never good enough are you? Are you? Just a stupid average run of the mill pony."
- >You peer round the door and watch as Dash beats herself up again.
- >Punch after punch after punch bruises and batters her body, leaving it damaged and streaked with blood.
- >Tears weep from your eyes.
- >You've seen enough.
- "Dash what are you doing?!"
- >Rainbow spins round, clearly startled by your appearance.
- "Go away, I don't want to talk to you!"
- "Rainbow Dash please, just listen. You are good enough. I know things have been rough lately, but you're a tough pony. You're supposed to be tough!
- "But I'm weak!"
- "No you're not!"
- >You run and throw your arms around her, but she pushes you away and turns around.
- "I'm always going to be weak."
- >You stare at her, tears streaming down your face.
- "Dash, you were never weak. And you sure as hell aren't going to start being weak, are you?
- >Dash turns and looks at you, tears and blood drip down her face like a pair of waterfalls.
- "I-I've already lost."
- "Dash, defeat is not when you fall down..."
- >You move closer and cup her face in your hands.
- "...It's when you refuse to get up. Now are you going to get up? Or are you going to accept defeat?"
- >Fresh tears spring from her eyes, soaking her stained coat.
- "B-but I'm not good enough...not good enough for you."
- >You pull her in for a deep kiss.
- >She fights and squirms in your grip, trying to push you away.
- >You release her and stare deep into her eyes.
- "No matter what, you will always be good enough for me, you will always be perfect"
- >She pushes you away and takes a step back.
- "Stop lying! Why would you think I'm perfect?! I'll never be perfect!"
- >She raises a hoof and smacks herself across the muzzle, splitting her lip and spraying blood across the room.
- "Dash!"
- >You run to her and grab her forehooves, using all your strength to stop her from hurting herself.
- "Get off me now!"
- >She struggles against your grip, kicking and squirming her body, fighting to break free.
- >Her hoof slips from your grasp and connects with your eye, causing you to lose your grip on Dash.
- >You fall to the ground and hit the back of your head on her bedpost.
- >Pain erupts through your head, and your vision blurs.
- >You look up and faintly see Dash standing there, unmoving.
- >You utter her name, then everything goes black.
- >Pain erupts through your head.
- >You wake up groggily, still on the floor in Dash's room.
- >Wincing at the pain, you reach up and rub the back of your head.
- >It's damp and crusty with blood.
- >You blink a few times as your vision adjusts.
- >You look around, and your hearing comes into focus.
- >Muffled sobs fill the otherwise silent room.
- >You grab hold of the bed and shakily get up, the simple move making you dizzy and sick.
- >You spot Rainbow Dash, lying on her bed, tears and a pool of blood stain her pillow and quilt.
- >Warning signals go off in your head, and you scramble to see what she's done.
- >She looks up and surprises you with a hug, sending waves of relief over you.
- "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I never meant to do that. I'm a stupid useless pony, I don't even know why you're still helping me."
- >You pull away from her and stare into her beautiful eyes again.
- "Dashie, you're the best thing that's ever happened in my life. No matter what, I will always love you, help you, cherish you. And don't think for a second that you're stupid or useless. You're neither of those things. You are a strong, loyal, brave, awesome pony. I don't want you to give up, it kills me to see you like this."
- >You hug her tight, letting everything go.
- >All your anguish, feelings, everything.
- >You cry into her mane, never wanting to let her go again.
- >Her body shivers as she sobs into your shoulder.
- "I'm sorry Anon."
- >You pull out of the embrace and kiss her. A deep passionate kiss that fires up your heart and sends shivers down your spine.
- >Nothing could make this moment go wrong.
- >You break off the kiss and stare longingly at Rainbow.
- "I-I'll never do this stuff again Anon, I swear."
- "Pinkie swear?"
- >Rainbow Dash giggles and throws her hooves around you.
- >You bury your face in her mane, enjoying the comfort, and relishing the feeling of relief washing over you.
