Wakin' up

My head was pounding fiercely and my body ached as my mind tried piecing itself back together. I felt bandages wrapped tightly around my head and hair. All my thoughts were a blur. What happened? All I remember was Paula saying 'Hey look Darcy! Here comes a car!' Then all I could see the towering SUV crashing straight into us. I felt it collide with our car head on. I hope Faith and Paula got out okay...

I slowly opened my eyes and cringed at the searing light that flooded my vision. The curtains where fully drawn back and the sun shone down and lit up the room with it warming rays. I looked around and to be perfectly honest the room was quite small. The floor and walls were all white and an eerie low hum came from the lights above me. I looked to my side further examining the room I was in. There on the table next to me lay a little pink cupcake with my name on it.

~Dashie

Wait what? My thoughts were cut of as I heard a familiar voice scream at me through the door.

"Hey everyone! Dashie is getting up! Hey Dashie!" That voice it sounded so familiar, and Dashie..?

I turned to face the voice and I swear I heard my jaw greet the floor.

There standing in the middle of the room was a small pink pony.

I put my hand up to my head trying to make sense of what I was seeing. How hard was I hit?

"Oh my gosh Dashie! We thought you would never wake up! You've been out for like ever now! Like an entire week!" The pink pony said.

"Eh, what...?"

"Silly! Don't you remember? You practicing that new stunt, and you flying around really, really fast until you hit a tree and were out for a while. So me, Applejack and some stranger got you over to the hospital and you have been out ever since!"

Wait, What? Who? Applejack?! I brought my hands up to my eyes so I could rub them until I could see straight, but where were my hands? I know I pulled my arms out my blanket, but what I saw I was not prepared for. My hands were replaced with bright cyan hooves. Hooves?! What the hell!?

Just then I heard the sound of someone else walk into the room. Five other ponies stepped into the room and stood by the pink mare. Well two unicorns, a pegasus and a orange pony to be exact. A look of genuine concern adorning each of their faces.

"Nice to see yew finally woke up sugarcube." Said the orange earth pony. "We thought you might never wake up!"

"Yeah, we were so worried about you..."

"Yeah Rainbow, that was quite the accident. You should be more careful."

"My word Rainbow! You mane is all a mess!"

My mane? I looked up to look at my hair and lone behold there was my rainbow colored highlights. Yet, it seemed different. I moved my hair around and to my surprise my highlights seemed to have spread all over my head. What the hell!?!?

I turned over to my guests. I know I have heard their voices before.

"Paula, Abigail, Faith, Tia, Rachel? " I said. Those were the voices of my friends.

This was met with confused looks from the ponies. They all looked at me with genuine concern.

"What kind of names are those?" The pink pony said to me. "I've never met any pony with a name like that before!" She quickly hopped up and down in front of my bed. "We can totally throw a party for those ponies!"  I looked at her as she was now bouncing around the room with pure happiness.

What the hell kind of dream is this?

"Whoa you can't be real! You guys are ponies!!" I blurted out, whatever the hell was going on, someone better wake me up!

"Your at the hospital Rainbow Dash. We brought you here so you could be taken care of."

I wasn't going to take anymore of this. I tried getting up out of my bed and I tried to run out the door. I had almost made it to the door, but I stumbled and fell flat on my face as balancing on two legs with the body of a pony was more difficult that I thought it would be.

"Now Rainbow, let's not due anything to crazy. The doctors said you were really hurt and you needed to get some rest." The purple unicorn said.

"That's right darling, now let's just get back into bed before you hurt yourself again."

No, No!! This was one messed up dream! I pushed myself up off the ground and slowly made my way to the door. Walking on all fours was a little difficult but in time I got a hang of it and made my way to the door. I was only inches away from the door when it was enveloped in a light purple aura and then slammed shut. I spun around to see that the the horn of the lavender unicorn glowing with a magical energy.

"Dash, This is for your own good." She said as I felt the a warm tingling around my body as I was slowly lifted out of the air and back to my bed. The purple unicorns aura had surrounded every inch of my body. I struggled, I tossed and turned, and I could feel the magical bonds slowly weakening. Knowing this I doubled my efforts to escape my ties.

"Rarity...! Help me get Rainbow Dash back to her bed..!" With that I felt an renewed strength grip me as my bonds tightened. "Don't worry darling! We will have you better in no time at all!" The white unicorn said.

"No..! No..! This can't be happening..!" I was about to get to my bed when something unexpected happened. I felt something on my back extend out. I strained myself to look over, and there on my sides were wings. Wings!? I must of hit my head REALLY hard! With my new pair of wings I flapped as hard as I could to aid in my escape. I didn't know exactly how to fly thought, but I just thought of me flapping my wings as hard as I could and like I was born with them they responded to my will.

"Ra-rity..!!" The purple unicorn said as the wind generated by my wings was pushing her back. Finally the the purple unicorn lost her balance and flew back and hit the door. I felt my bonds weaken considerably as I flew back into the window behind me and broke right threw it. I felt the sharp glass shatter behind me as I fell towards the ground. My hair danced around in the wind as I saw the ground quickly approaching. In fear I flapped my wings in a futile attempt to escape the fall, but to no avail.

"Quickly Applejack, catch Rainbow!" The yellow pegasus said.

"Already on it!" The orange pony as she whipped a lasso around. She jerked her head forward and I saw the lasso chase after me. It whipped in the wind as It made it's way around my one of my back legs.

"Go' 'er!" Said the orange pony as she yanked her head back. The noose tightened around my leg and I felt it as It grabbed me in mid fall. I looked down, I was still a good three stories off the ground. I looked up at the rope, it had already started to fray at the edges. It must not be strong enough to hold me. One by one each of the fibers of the rough rope were snapping.

"Oh no!" Said the pink pony. "Rainbow Dash!"

I felt the rope snap as I plummeted towards the ground. Rainbow Dash?! My thoughts were cut off as I closed my eyes and hit the ground with a dull thud.

Then suddenly my eyes opened and I looked around. I sat up straight and brought my hands up to my face. Sweet Jesus, hands! As I pulled down the covers to examine the rest of my body. Tattered jeans and a pair of feet. I turned my attention to the room. The sun was shining high in the sky filling the small room with light and the familiar electric hum of florescent lights loomed overhead. I looked over to the side of my bed to be greeted by a familiar pink cupcake.

~Darcy

'Déjà vu.' I though.

Suddenly the door swung open as I saw a familiar friend in pink run into the room.

"Oh my God Darcy! Hey gals! Come on in! Darcy is awake!"

I turned to see my friends walk into the room. No ponies to be spoken of.

"Wow Darcy you have been sleeping for a really long time now."

I looked over at the calender. 12/19 Holy crap! An entire week?!

"Whoa I have been out for an entire week?"

"Yeah the doctor said you might not wake up. But you are a tough gal. I knew you would wake up."

I looked over to my friends. Abigail had her light blond hair up in a ponytail as per usual. She smiled warmly at me.

"I'm surprised you ain't tired or anything Darcy."

As if on cue I yawned. I was feeling a little tired.

"Now that you mention it Aby, I am a little..." I didn't finish my sentence as I lay back into my bed and pulled the covers over myself closing my eyes.

"Sweet dreams..." Said all of my friends.
