MLP Spinoffs
Chapter 5: 5. Rainbow Dash
Previous Chapter Next Chapter"Alright, you guys ready for this?"
Rainbow Dash was on one of the skids of a helicopter. It was a clear, cloudless day, thanks to her, yet she was so high up that the features of the ground below her were miniscule.
"I am 50,000 feet in the air, and I am gonna jump right off this helicopter! Now, I know what you're thinking, 'Oh, but she has wings, yadda yadda yadda.' Well, my wings? Tied behind my back."
She showed them the proof.
"And they're enchanted ropes, so these babies won't come off until after I complete the stunt! No parachutes, no guards, just a little trampoline, like, way below!"
"You ready, Rainbow Dash?" one of the people on the ground asked her through a walkie-talkie.
"Always ready," she replied, trying to sound cool and not worried.
"Okay, you are good to go."
Rainbow took a deep breath and stepped off of the helicopter. She was spinning and tumbling in the air at first, then stabilized and played a little game of cards with herself. She even had time to check her pockets, play an air guitar solo, and do a few somersaults and cartwheels in midair before she prepared to land on the trampoline. The bounce must've taken her 100 feet up, before she bounced back down again and came to a safe halt in the center of a huge crowd that had gathered.
"Piece of strawberry cake."
The whole crowd cheered for her as she opened a Mountain Dew and the enchanted ropes came off.
"Rainbow Dash! Rainbow Dash! Rainbow Dash! Rainbow Dash!" the crowd chanted.
"Aw, come on, guys. That was an easy one."
"Oh, my God. Rainbow Dash…you're crazy dude." The stoner in the audience gave a wheezy laugh.
"Bold and daring is a better choice of words, my friend. But if you guys wanna see a real stunt…"
The cerulean blue pony flew up and left a rainbow trail in the shape of her cutie mark. Then, she did a few loop-de-loops in the air while also spinning sideways, flew as high as she could, then stopped and let herself fall. The audience held their breath as she was spinning towards the Earth below, but at the last second, her wings unfurled and she came to a safe halt.
"YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAA H!"
Halfway into the first episode, Rainbow Dash horribly injured her left wing. Doctors said she could never fly again…Just kidding. She could fly again in a few weeks, but people had lost interest by then.
"I haven't!" Pinkie was dressed in Rainbow Dash souvenirs.
Of course you haven't, Pinkie. How's that lawsuit going for you?
"Eh, not so good. I've got to spend 500 hours in community service. It's not that bad, really. I like to entertain the ponies at the retirement home. And I had to apologize to those kids for some reason. They said they forgive me."
Do they, now?
"Yep! Plus, I've got this fun little bracelet on my hoof! They call it a tracking device."
"Pinkie! This is my chapter!"
"Oh, sorry, Rainbow Dash."
"You had yours, remember?"
"Yeah, I remember."
The pink pony headed towards the retirement home.
"So...Mr. Narrator...how's the narrating business?"
It's...alright, I guess.
"That's cool...who are we doing next?"
Rarity.
"Rarity...How'd that drama work out for her?"
The studio didn't like the idea, so she came up with a new one.
"Huh. What is it?"
You'll have to find out.
"Should be an interesting chapter."
Rainbow Dash flew off into the sunset.
