Alternate Ending

Rainbow Dash was rushing towards Fluttershy’s house. She was just on the outskirts of Ponyville now. “Just a little ways further” She said as she started dodging the trees in the forest. ‘I have to get there soon before she does something that she regrets’ Dash thought as she picked up a little more speed. Up ahead she could see the clearing where Fluttershy’s home was. Rainbow Dash gave one last thrust of speed and broke into the clearing. She raced up to the door and opened it. She saw Fluttershy holding a knife in her hoof. “Put the knife down Fluttershy, I don’t want you getting hurt” Rainbow Dash said to the yellow pegasus. Fluttershy looked at her in anger “oh, so now you start to care, I told you I didn’t want to see you and if I have to kill myself to do that I will” she said as she lifted the knife and plunged it into her stomach. Fluttershy fell to the ground clutching her wound. Rainbow Dash rushed over to her. “I’m not gonna let you die on me” Rainbow said as she hefted Fluttershy up onto her back. She rushed outside as fast as she could and took off into the air with Fluttershy on her back. She flew as fast as she could back towards Ponyville, all the while being given smart comments by her injured friend. She flew and landed in front of Dr. Whooves office; she walked up to the door and opened it. “I need a doctor here NOW!!!” she said easing Fluttershy onto the ground. Dr. Whooves came trotting out of the back room. He looked over Fluttershy thoroughly before saying “It’s a good thing she got here when she did, she wouldn’t have lasted much longer.” Fluttershy had passed out by then. Dr. Whooves grabbed a patient bed and wheeled it over. He hefted her up onto the bed and took her into the back room to start surgery. Rainbow Dash sat down. “Now I pray to Celestia that she will be fine” she said.

Fluttershy woke up and looked around. Rainbow Dash was asleep sitting in a lounge chair on the other side of the room. Fluttershy then closed her eyes and fell back asleep. When she woke up again Rainbow was looking at her smiling. “You gave me quite a scare there, for a moment I thought I was going to lose you” Rainbow said. “Why did you save me” Fluttershy asked. “Because we do love you, you are our best friend, and even if you don’t think that we are, we will still always be there for you.” “But what about the things you said in front of-“Rainbow broke her off. “We weren’t talking about you; we were talking about that no good magician Trixie” she said. “I am so sorry, I didn’t mean to say all of those things to you, and I just fooled myself into thinking that you all were something you’re not” Fluttershy said welling up. “Well, don’t worry about that anymore, just get some rest” Rainbow Dash said smiling. “Thank you for all you’ve done” Fluttershy said. “Get some rest” Rainbow Dash repeated. Fluttershy obeyed and lay back down on the bed and drifted off into a deep restful sleep.
