Chapter 1: Wing Problems

Hey guys! They call me Nathan Kheel! So yeah, I just wanna be sure that it is all clear: This Fanfic is a crossover between My Little Pony and all the 2013 Oscar winners and nominated. That means that it's about MLP and The Wolf of Wall Street, Gravity, Her, Nebraska, Philomena, Captain Phillips, American Hustle, Dallas Buyers Club and 12 Years a Slave. The Wolf of Wall Street will be the "Root" of the story because it's the winner. And because I don't want to "Copy Paste" the story with MLP characters, I'm going to tell some of them in a different angle: Like the Philomena part will be the Child that wants to retrieve her mom, not the opposite. And if you didn't watch all the movies, it's not a problem; you don't need to know them really. No need to talk more: Enjoy~ :3

"Bad news? Like… Like a-"

"Like a disease, yes." interrupted the doctor.

"Wha-What kind of disease?" said the pink-eyed pony, not sure if she wanted to know anymore.

"Miss Dash, I'm afraid that… that you could not use your wings anymore."

"Tha-that means-"

"No flying, yes." interrupted the doctor, again. Rainbow Dash was about to faint.

"What… what am I gonna do then if I can't FLY?"

"You could get a real job. I think that's a message sent by Celestia: To stop your flying career and to get a job, a real one."

"A job? Like what? I've failed most of lessons in school… That's why I wanted to become a Wonderbolt! They don't have to learn lessons…"

"Well, I'm sure you'll find one. Trust me." As he finished his sentence, Rainbow Dash left the room.

Once outside, the Pegasus-that-can't-fly saw her friends.

"So, what is it, RD?" impatiently asked Applejack.

"I…I…" Rainbow Dash's hooves couldn't support her anymore: Rainbow felt on the ground, and started to cry."

"Rainbow! Are you okay!?" asked Twilight as her and the others came beside the blue pony.

"My… my wings… I… can't fly a-" Rainbow felt like words could not leave her mouth anymore. As she cried like she never did before, she closed her eyes… and slept. She slept to run away from the truth.

She thought that if she slept, all the problems will go away and all will come back to normal again. But she knew that it will not solve her problems, but she wanted to hide the truth from herself.

So, she slept and started to dream about a normal life, about her flying in the sky.

Rainbow Dash woke up in a room that wasn't hers. As she was waking up, memories came back to her mind. But when she remembered about the wing disease… She wanted to cry again. She was angry, sad and depressed at the same time.

She then realized where she was. Rainbow was in a room full of bookshelves. "Twilight's place…" she thought to herself. She left Twilight's bed and went in front of the bookshelves.

"Maybe these books can tell me about my disease… Twilight got all the books in Equestria, so there have to be one about Wing Disease somewhere…" said Rainbow Dash to herself.

So she began to search. There were books about magic and alchemy, two things that she will never master or understand. There were books about history and how was Equestria before she was born. There were books about amazing adventure that Rainbow Dash would give anything to have.

And there were books about medicine: some were about fractures, some about viruses and other about diseases. There was something like twelve of them, but she was only interested in the big one: It was big like a dictionary, if it wasn't bigger. It was named "Poisonous flowers".

According to Rainbow Dash, she thinks her disease come from a plant or a poison; but because poison kills and doesn't create disease (From Rainbow Dash's logic, cause everypony knows that poison don't necessarily kills), she's sure that her disease come from plant.

As she took the book, she heard someone climbing up the stairs. She froze. Dash didn't know what to do. She couldn't run away since she's on the second floor and the stairs are the only way down; and she couldn't hide somewhere because the best hiding spot was under the bed.

But on the other hoof, why was she scared? She didn't even know herself, so she stayed like she was: In front of the bookshelves with a book in her mouth.

The pony that was coming toward the diseased mare was Twilight: It was normal since Rainbow is in her house.

"Hey, Rainbow!" greeted the purple unicorn.

"Ha…" greeted back Rainbow with a book in her mouth.

"Erm…. What are you doing?" asked Twilight.

"Erm, a 'as ea-ing ooks?" answered the blue Pegasus, unable to speak correctly. (She wanted to say: "Erm, I was reading books?") Twilight levitated the book that Rainbow had in her mouth to her and red the title.

"Poisonous plants? Are you trying to poison someone or anything?"

"Nonononono! I just wanted to know a little bit more about my disease…"

"Oh! I'm glad you're interested about your case! But, honestly, I don't think you're disease came from a plant…"

"What? Are you sure? So if that didn't come from a plant, where did that came from?"

"I don't know, I would say it's because you fly too often and your wings can't take a rest."

"Wings have to take a rest?"

"Sure! Like all the other parts of your body!"

"Oh… But, just to be sure, I'm still going to borrow you that book."

"No problem! You can take all the books you want! Since you can't fly anymore…"

Twilight shouldn't have said that, and she knew it. Rainbow looked down and an awkward silence took place. After what seemed to be five minutes, RD broke the silence:

"So yeah… I'm gonna head back home, now…" Said the blue pony as she was about to climb down the stairs.

"Oh, wait!" said the purple unicorn.

Rainbow stopped but didn't look back

"Well, erm, since you can't race anymore, you'll have to find a job, to get bits, right?"

"Yeah, I suppose…" Rainbow was really tired about the idea of getting a job: Everypony was telling her, I think she understood the message!

"And did you have an idea of what you would like to do?"

"Erm, not really… The only jobs in Ponyville that are available are shopkeeper, farmer, baker, designer and librarian… And none of these interests me…"

"Oh, I see… But I may have a job that could interest you." Rainbow Dash turned over and looked at her friend.

"What is it?"

"Well, my dad used to have a Donation Center in Baltimare, and he needs somepony to replace him as the boss. But since my brother have a job and I wanna be scientist, there's no one who could take the place…"

"And what's the job about?" asked Rainbow, interested.

"Well, it's not that complicated: The thing is, when somepony wants to make bits, he can donate some bits to a small company, let's say Sweet Apple Acre for example, and in exchange, the donator get a Donation Bill. So, if the Donator gave 100 bits and Sweet Apple Acre's budget grows two times bigger, the Donator is going to receive 200 bits; but if Sweet Apple Acre's budget goes two times smaller, the Donator is going to receive 50 bits."

"And what's the role of the Donation Center in this story?"

"Well, the Donation Center has to recommend the companies to the Donators."

"What? The job is about recommendations? Don't worry Twili; I'll take the job if it's easy as this!"

"It's not that simple Rainbow, you have to do strategic choices and—"

"I don't care! Bring me to your dad and we'll talk affairs!"

"What? You want to retrieve who?" asked Sweetie Belle who were almost sleeping.

"My mom! I know where she is!" answered Scootaloo loud enough to wake Apple Bloom up.

The Cutiemark Crusaders were in their treehouse. Scootaloo had call Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom at three in the morning because she had something really, really, really, really important.

"Cherilee showed me some papers yesterday; they were about my mother! She lives in Baltimare!" continued Scootaloo.

"What papers? Can we see them?" asked Apple Bloom.

"Yeah, sure." Scootaloo gave a folder to Apple Bloom: It contained about five papers. Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle started reading them and 10 minutes later, Apple Bloom finally spoke.

"Wow…"

"Isn't it surprising!? My mom lives in Baltimare! And she's a teacher! Like Mrs. Cherilee!"

"No, I wasn't talking about that... So many words... How could you red it all?"

"What, you didn't read them?" Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle shook their head in disapprobation. Scootaloo sighted.

"So what were you doing during 10 minutes!?"

"Well…" started Apple Bloom.

"…We don't… know?" finished Sweetie Belle.

"… Okay… Well, these papers are saying that my mother could be in Baltimare right now." briefly explained Scootaloo.

"Oh…" said Sweetie and Apple. "But I didn't understand well: Why did you say that she could be in Baltimare?" asked Sweetie Belle

"Well, the papers say that she grew in an orphanage, in Baltimare."

"But she could have left Baltimare." said Sweetie Belle

"I know that! But I have to take a risk! If she's there and I decide—No: And we decide to don't go I would never forgive myself."

"Wait, wait, wait: We never said we were goin' with ya! I know we're friend and all but I can't leave mah sis like that!" explained Apple Bloom.

"And I can't leave mine too! We're sorry but—"

"You are going with me no matter what!" yelled Scootaloo. "It's about my mom! I can't let her go like that: I may know where she is! And I can't go without you!"

"Scootaloo… You're right I'm coming with ya." said Apple Bloom. Scootaloo and Apple looked at Sweetie.

"Erm… I… can't?" said Sweetie. Scootaloo looked down.

"Ahrg… Fine!"

"Yeah! Now that we're all together, I know exactly what to do…"
