Well, my first solo My Little Pony story. I really hope that you all like this story, because it's one of my first solo fics in quite a while.

Because for now, it's time for me to do my very first solo MLP fic. Here we go. I don't own Friendship is Magic, it belongs to Hasbro, Lauren Faust and such.

The sound of horseshoes running filled the area, as doors in a hospital flew open via a magenta color magic. The pony doing this was an alicorn mare with a magenta colored body, purple mane with a pink streak in it, a star shaped Cutie Mark, and purple eyes.

"Twilight… I'm getting sick…" a voice told the mare. The voice belonged to a purple dragon with green eyes, green spikes, and a yellow stomach region. The dragon was hanging onto the mare's, Twilight's, tail as she ran as fast as her hoofs could carry her.

"Sorry Spike, but I got to find out what happened," Twilight told the dragon, as she arrived on the 18th floor of the hospital, and found the room she was looking for and burst open the door.

Everypony then glanced over to her, but there were only three other ponies in the room at the time. The first of which was a white unicorn mare with a nice stylized purple mane, purple-blue eyes, and a trio of diamonds for her Cutie Mark. Second was a stallion Earth Pony with a brown body, a black mane, blue eyes, a bandage for a Cutie Mark, and was wearing a doctor's uniform.

Finally, laying in the bed was a cyan pegasus mare, with magenta eyes, a rainbow mane and tail, but her Cutie Mark was covered up by the blanket in the hospital bed, and she looked to be in pain. "Rainbow Dash, you okay?" Twilight asked.

The pegasus, Rainbow Dash, looked at Twilight, a tear falling from her eye. "I'm… okay Twilight… just… my wing hurts… a lot…" she whimpered.

"What happened to her?" Twilight asked the unicorn mare.

"She was performing, when something hit her wing, it'll heal, but it's going to take a while," the unicorn informed.

"How long?" Twilight asked.

"I'm not so sure darling," the unicorn responded, as the Earth Pony looked at some x-rays, and mulled over them.

"A best… a few weeks. But it'll heal, so Dash needs to stay here, and wear a cast." the doctor informed the two. The unicorn mare then began to help the doctor wrap up Dash's left wing, and she winced a bit.

"Don't worry Rainbow," Twilight told the pegasus, holding one of her hooves to comfort Dash, as the two continued to wrap up her wing.

After a few minutes, Dash's left wing was completely wrapped up, and she relaxed a bit, as Spike walked over to the unicorn mare, smiling at blushing at her.

"You did a good job wrapping that wing up Rarity," Spike complimented the unicorn mare, Rarity.

Dash was then curled under a blanket, trying to rest without hurting her wing. She knew her friends were there, because she recognized their voices, but she knew Twilight was the closest to her bed, because the alicron had yet to let go of her hoof.

"Uh… Twilight…" Dash started, as Twilight finally noticed she was still holding onto Rainbow Dash's hoof, and she let go, a blush forming on her face.

"Well Rainbow Dash, you'll need to spend at best a month here at the hospital, your wing to some serious damage while you were doing… whatever it was you were doing," the doctor told her, as a yellow pegasus with a pink mane and tail, blue-green eyes and a trio of pink butterflies for her Cutie Mark walked over.

"Uh… what were you doing anyway Rainbow?" the pegasus asked.

Dash began to think as she looked over to Twilight, while Dash wouldn't admit this to anypony, she's actually a lesbian, and likes mare as opposed to stallions. Why this is, is due to her being constantly harassed by colts at her old flight school when she was just a filly. Dash swore of ever falling in love with a pony of the opposite gender of her, and she never fond anypony she really liked in the way of romance.

That would be… until she met Twilight when she moved to Ponyville, and the cyan pegasus fell head-over-hooves for her. Of course, Dash wouldn't admit this… at all.

"Well… I was doing some performance skills, but… I don't know why my wing got so beaten up…" Dash sighed, as her eyes brighten, and she recalled the last time she was in the hospital, Twilight introduced her to her favorite book series, Daring Do, and now, since she had nothing better to do, she could read the books to her heart's content.

"And Rainbow," the doctor started, "because of the last time you were here, we have sadly lost our copy of Daring Do and the Quest for the Sapphire Stone,"

"Y-y-you've found it… right?" Dash asked.

"Nope," the doctor responded, making the pegasus groan in annoyance, and Twilight couldn't help but feel kinda bad for her, when an idea hit her mind, and she teleported out for a moment. She returned after about two minutes with a huge pile of books, which she put by Dash's bedstand.

Dash blinked for a moment, a bit confused. Twilight cleared her throat and began. "These my pegasus friends, are the Warrior Rider books, written by T.S. Darling. They're an amazing series of books about these great ponies who get mystically abilities and use these abilities to defend truth and justice,"

"T.S. Darling… never heard of her," Dash admitted, as she looked over the books, and there were a lot. Thus the doctor, and her friends soon left, but this left Twilight and Dash alone in the room for a bit, before Twilight took her leave, and left the cyan pegasus on her own.

"Boy I tell you Twilight, I don't know how T.S. Darling does it, but she writes some of the most amazing stories," Spike said, as he was looking over one of the books.

"She sure does Spike, in fact, I don't know how many times I've had to put ponies on a wait list to get those books," Twilight responded, as they walked back to her home, which was a castle at the edge of Ponyville. They walked in, and Twilight flew up to her bedroom, which was part library, and she looked over some papers she had hidden under her bed from Spike.

The young dragon sat down by his own spot in the room, and Twilight took some of these papers out, and began to write something down on the papers.

The cyan pegasus simply stared up at the ceiling for a moment, she wanted to read the Daring Do books, not some books by somepony she knew nothing about. But she was bored, and needed to do SOMETHING.

"Are these books that popular?" she asked nopony particular, since she was the only pony that was even in the room. Dash let out a sigh, and reached for the first book in the pile. The title of the book was Warrior Rider Den-O: Tales in New Equestria, and the front cover depicted a canyon with a train of sorts in the background, and at the very front was a pony in some sort of armor. The pony was an Earth Pony, and was wearing a silver and black lower set of armor, with red sides on his front hoofs, red chest armor, with a red tail, a sort of blade being held by the tail, the sword was blue, silver and black, and finally, over the pony's face was a sort of peach armor split down the middle.

Dash had to admit to herself, it looked interesting, and with a bit of a sigh, she opened up the book, curious to see what this T.S. Darling has written.

"'Chapter 1: New Equestria.' Hmm? 'It's been many moons since the fall of the Equestria of old, due to a mysterious force nopony could ever explain.' Huh? Sounds interesting…" Dash commented as she read the first page aloud. "'It feel into chaos, ponies were arguing and fueding with each-other, and just when it seemed like a war would occur, a brilliant rainbow light shined forth,' Wow… 'In the rainbow light, came an alicorn, her name was lost to history, but what was known, was that she pulled the ponies together...'"

The area was of a barren land, it seemed as though life had almost ceased without explanation, when grass had began to grow, trees began to blossom, food was harvested, and a castle was made for the mysterious alicon.

"'The alicorn had reformed what was lost, and thus christened the land… New Equestria. Where harmony and friendship reigned'"

All three tribes of ponies were seen in villages, pegasi moving clouds around and making it rain for Earth Ponies who were tending to crops.

But the unicorns were up to something completely different, they were working with an ore they had uncovered, and beginning to develop trains anew, and soon more and more technologies were made.

"'New Equestria had flourished in ways the Equestria of old could only dream of. Moving pictures had been created, lamps that could function without candles were created, and so forth. However, one of the greatest technologies ever created would be formed by a pony who traveled beyond the lands of our world… a device called… a Warrior Terminal'..."

"Wow… T.S. Darling is amazing…" Dash gawked. "It's no wonder almost everypony likes these books…"

She was amazed of the story that was developing before her, as she could picture what this 'New Equestria' looked like. Dash was entranced by this book, and was curious about all the others. Were they as good? Well… only one way to find out.

"'Chapter 2: Terminal of Time. As life continued for the ponies of New Equestria, there was one pony who was having some pretty dang bad luck. His name was Ryotaro, an Earth Pony who was white, had a black following mane, brown eyes, with a clock for his Cutie Mark. He has the worst luck out of anypony you could ever meet. At the moment, he was stuck in a tree, and some pegasi floated up to help him down' Wow… he really does have some pretty dang bad luck," Dash giggled.

"Okay let's see… the chapter is reaching the finale," Twilight muttered, as she continued to write something. "'And as the pony ran forward to protect those innocent young fillies, she was attacked by a' … uh… hmm… OH! 'By a Mole Imagin. Luckily, she was able to fly away with the two fillies to a safe location'. Yea, yea yea…"

"Uh Twilight, could you please be quiet, I'm trying to read Warrior Rider book five," Spike requested, as he tried to read his book in peace.

Twilight let out an annoyed sigh, as she continued to dot down some notes for whatever she was doing.

"Hey Twilight, do you know who this T.S. Darling even is?" Spike asked, and Twilight let out a shrug.

She looked over to her calendar, and recalled something. "Well Spike, if you want to meet her, she'll be doing a reading at the Children's Book Club on Thursday next week,"

This info caused the dragon to hop out of his bed in surprise. "Really?"

The alicorn princess simply gave a nod, and looked outside, trying to keep her mind off of her injured friend. While she wouldn't admit this to anypony, she was in love with Rainbow Dash, and was planning to suggest the book series to her like she did with Daring Do.

"'As Ryotaro had finally returned home… to see his older sister working hard...'" Dash read, as she let out a yawn, she was getting sleepy at the fun of the book she's been reading so far, and saw that it was kinda late, and thus, she put her bookmark into the book, and curled up under the covers to get some sleep.

With thoughts of Twilight comforting the lesbian pegasus, she began to drift into the realm of sleep, relaxed for the night, and ready to turn in.

At around an hour or two later, Twilight was getting sleepy as well, having been worked on something for a while, with her eyes hardly even open.

"'As… the Warrior Rider charged forward… she…' no… wait… ugh. I'm so tired, but I have to… finish this book," Twilight groaned, looking over to her calendar, seeing she only had two days left to meet a deadline.

"Twilight… is everything okay?" Spike asked, as her comments were loud enough to wake him up.

The alicorn princess looked over to her young friend, and simply rubbed her eyes. "No Spike… everything's fine and dandy… I've just been working on something. But… I'm gonna get some shut eye."

In response, the dragon simply waved at her, and fell back asleep, while Twilight got into her bed, and fell asleep as soon as the covers were over her body.

And that my friends, is the end of the very first chapter of this story! Boy did I have fun for the first solo-fic I've done in quite some time. And this one's staying a sole Pikatwig project.

Anyway, my favorite part has to be where Dash started to read the Warrior Rider books.

Just Live More.
