Chapter 27: Let Downs

Previous Chapter Next Chapter

I woke to hearing a loud humming noise in my ear. I hit whatever it was away from me and put a hoof to my head. "Ow." I said. I had a huge migraine that made my head spin. "What happened?" I asked as I tried to lift my head. I only ended up hitting my head against the floor, making the migraine worse.

"You are one amazing pony, Rainbow Dash." I heard the doctor say.

"Thanks. I've always known that. What took you so long to figure that out?" I asked, closing my eyes.

"Well, considering you basically reversed what my defenses did, I'd say that qualifies."

I shot up, not caring about my head. "Fluttershy!" I shouted and ran over to her. She was still asleep on the bed. "I did what you said, except I did it for her." I said pointing to Fluttershy. "There was a gold mist that surrounded her. Was that the memory?" I asked.

"Yep." he said.

"Will she remember?" I asked hopefully.

"Kind of. It will all just be dreams though. Nothing she feels she can act out."

I groaned. "Nothing works, huh?" I exclaimed. I felt a hammer hit the inside of my brain. I fell on the bed in pain.

"You really should be careful. What you did was so powerful it sent the TARDIS into a head-spin." he said. "You need rest. And I mean actual rest."

I heard a familiar voice come from downstairs. "Doctor! Where do you want me to put the muffins?"

"Just lay them on the seat in the TARDIS." he replied. He turned to face me. "What?" he asked, reading my face.

"Derpy? You're taking the clumsiest pony in all of Equestria with you? I mean, no offense, but she is a little out there." I said.

"What's that supposed to mean?" he asked.

"Only that she can kind of mess things up a little. Your TARDIS appears to be a very expensive piece of...whatever it is. Do you really want her to be near it?"

There was a crash downstairs. "Oops. My bad." Derpy said from downstairs.

"See?" I asked sarcastically.

"Oh, she's not so bad. She's very persistent and wants to help out." he said. He walked over to Fluttershy. "In a few hours she'll be up. Try talking to her. And since you were able to bring the memory back, she'll be dreaming about them. Ask her about them." he said. He turned and walked downstairs.

"Doctor!" I called out as I tried to run back down to him. My head began to hurt again and I fell down the stairs. I landed at the bottom of the staircase on top of my head. "Ow."

"You okay Rainbow Dash?" I heard Derpy ask.

"Huh? Oh, yeah. I'm fine." I replied.

"Good. Well, we're off. We're going to visit Raxacoricofallapatorius." the Doctor said.

"Go...where?" Derpy asked.

"Raxacoricofallapatorius." he said again. She looked at him confused. "A planet with big green aliens." he clarified.

"Ohh. Like little green ponies?" she asked.

"Sorta. Except they aren't little. More like big, green, walking, living calcium." he said with a smile.

"Why are you going to Raxac-corpulatus?" I asked.

"Raxacoricofallapatorius. I stopped a family from there from destroying a planet and selling it for scrap." he replied.

"What planet? And why in the world are you going there if they tried to destroy a planet?" I asked, rubbing my head.

He pointed his metal thing at me. It made a low hum and my head stopped hurting. "Diplomatic hearing under the Shadow Proclamation." he said. "And no, it's not the same as the Shadow's here."

"Okay then. But what planet? I mean, if they tried once, wouldn't they try again?" I asked.

"It's kind of hard for them to do that when the last of the Slitheen family looked into the heart of the TARDIS. They're deciding on what to do with the family's company." he explained.

"Doctor? Are we going to go soon? I want to see some green ponies!" Derpy exclaimed with a muffin in her hoof.

"Yes, yes, just let me finish here." he said.

I lowered my head. My headache had gone away, but I was still remembering about Fluttershy. "You always have someone don't you?" I asked.

"What do you mean?" he asked.

"First Victoria, then my mom, then me, and now Derpy. Even when you should be alone, you have somepony with you. While those of us who have had nothing but trouble have nopony there for us." I said.

"Well, what about Felix?" he asked.

"He's always working. He's either at the Exchange or with Fleur-fancy name." I said. "He doesn't have time for me anymore." I never talk about how I feel about Fleur and my brother. "I had hoped that Fluttershy might remember us if I did what you said, but I guess even I can't make that happen." I said defeated.

He put a hoof on my shoulder. "Hey. You brought the memories back. She thinks they're dreams, and she'll continue to have them. If you just talk to her about them, maybe she'll remember. I can't promise anything, but I believe if you try hard, really really try, she'll remember everything." he said.

"How do you know? You've said those things before, but I'm constantly being let down. Why can't you just sonic her mind and give them back?" I asked.

"It doesn't work like that. We used a dark kind of magic, one that we don't fully understand. We're currently studying it further with the help of Princess Luna." he said. "I don't know how long it could take for it to be understood fully, but you need to try until we figure it out. Just try hard, and eventually she'll remember everything.

I lowered my head again and nodded. "Okay, Doctor. I guess I don't have a choice, huh?" I said with a light chuckle.

"Thatt'a girl." he said. "Now, go up there, and talk to her. She's going to be a little freaked out about that dream of hers."

"Alright." I said. He stood up and walked back to the TARDIS. "Doctor?" I asked.

"Oh what now?" he asked. "I've got some real important...diplomatic things to do that are of the utmost-"

"Timey wimey importance?" I finished for him. He smiled. "Take care of her." I said pointing to Derpy. "She's fragile. And I swear if you make her doubt herself, I'll slap you."

"Make her doubt herself? Please, I'd never do such a thing to that beautiful mare." he said.

"Wait, what?" I exclaimed.

"What? It's not illegal." he said.

"So? She just got out of school around the same time I did!"

"Hey! She's older than you!" he said in defense.

"So? That doesn't mean that you can just take anypony out on a date because you think they're cute!" I shouted.

"Doctor!" Derpy cried out from the TARDIS. "Let's go! The TARDIS is humming again!"

"Believe it or not, she understands more about this stuff than you ever will." he said.

"I doubt it. I only spent a short few minutes in that thing." I said. "Anyways, take care. I guess I'll see you around sometime."

"Oh yes. And don't worry, she'll be fine." He closed the TARDIS and I stepped back. It gave a low humming sound and began to disappear. I walked upstairs and into our room. Fluttershy was awake now, rubbing her eyes.

"Hey Fluttershy. Sleep well?" I asked.

"Oh, hi Rainbow. I guess I slept well. I had a weird dream though." she said.

The Doctor's good. I thought. "What about?" I asked taking a seat next to her. "My awesomeness had better be in there."

She laughed lightly. "You were. Along with somepony who said she was my mom." she began to talk about the time in the forest. It was the last thing she would have remembered before the Doctor wiped her memories. "It was really weird. And kind of cool that I was able to stand up for myself and you."

"That's awesome! Of course, nopony could be as brave as me." I bragged.

"Hehe, I know." she rubbed her hooves together. "There was another one..." she said.

"What happened in that one?" I asked.

"Well...you and me were in a hotel. Your brother had left to get a drink and we were alone..." she trailed off. I felt my face grow red. I still remembered that night. It was the first time we had actually done anything more than a small kiss. I tried to hide my face.

"And well...we, uh...." she was having trouble explaining what I already knew.

"What? We didn't like, you know, kiss right?" I asked.

"Oh...uh no..." she said.

"Are you sure?" I asked a little too energetic.

"Yeah...I'm certain." she said quietly.

"Oh..." I said. "Well, what did we do?"

"Umm..." she hesitated. "I...I don't remember..." she said, shying away.

"Oh... Well, okay." I said. We sat there quietly. Why can't she just tell me? I thought. I mean, it's not like she doesn't feel the same way...right?

"What about you?" she asked.

"Oh you know, just about joining the Wonderbolts, saving the day, being awesome, the works." I said.

"Anything else?" she asked.

"Well...I did have another one about me staying at your house. It was more of a nightmare. We were playing some board games and your mom came in shouting and screaming." I said.

She looked at me surprised. "Wow. I had the same dream too."

"No kidding, huh?" I said.

"So weird..." she said. She rubbed her head. "I feel like I'm forgetting something, or that I should remember something..."

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"Like, these dreams I had feel familiar, but I can't remember where they're from." she explained. "Weird, right?" she said.

"Uhh, yeah. Totally." I replied. I looked out the window and saw the sun rising. "We better get you home. I'm sure Angel is worried about you."

"Oh my. I forgot to feed him yesterday!" she exclaimed.

"Well let's get going then!" I said. We flew out of my room and headed for her cottage. It only took us a few minutes to get there and despite the sun rising, most ponies were still sleeping since the party last night. We landed in front of her cottage and opened the door. Angel was laying on his back with a flower held between his paws.

"Angel!" Fluttershy called and ran next to him. She picked him up and grabbed a carrot out from the cabinet. "Here you go! I'm so sorry! It'll never happen again!" she exclaimed.

I rolled my eyes. "Could that rabbit be anymore overdramatic?" I asked.

"Oh he must have been starving, the poor thing." she said as Angel ate the whole carrot in one bite.

"Well looks like you'll be busy with Angel. I think I should be heading back to the office. I'm still captain of the weather team, and I don't think they're going to be too happy with me not showing up." I said. Truthfully, I wasn't going to the office. I was going back home so I could be alone and think. "I'll catch you later Fluttershy."

"Oh, ok then." she said. "See you later."

I walked out the door and flew to my house. She remembered that night in the hotel room. I thought. If she remembered that, then she must remember the other things. I tried not to remind myself she had just been dreaming. I wanted to feel like I had a chance for her to remember.

I flew into my room and landed on the bed. I looked over at the picture of my mom and gave a small smile. I wouldn't forget it. I wouldn't forget a single thing. I walked downstairs into the kitchen and grabbed an apple. I took a bite out of it and walked into the living room. Big mistake...
