Rainbow Dash sat in a dingy hospital room, watching the line on the heart monitor bobbing up and down. Every time it went down, she was worried that it would never go back up, and each time, it broke her heart just a little bit more. Why did she do it? She had no reason to. Luckily the knife hadn't killed Pinkie. Not yet.

She stirred, and Dash looked down hopefully, but she wasn't awake.
"Come on, Pinkie. Come on!"
__/\__/\__41bpm
A doctor came in with a clipboard.
Talking. Apologising. Leaving.
Then another.
Talk. Sorry. Leave.
It was torture.
__/\__/\__40bpm.
Clipboards. Talking. Sorry. Leaving.
Talking. Sorry. Leaving.
Talking. Sorry. Lea-"Dash?"
Silence.
"Pinkie?"

The two friends looked one another in the eye- and embraced.
"Rainbow, where am I?"
"The hospital Pinkie."
Pinkie Pie sighed.
"Shame. I wanted to go at Sugarcube corner."
Rainbow's breath caught in her throat.
"G-go, Pinks?"

"Well, yeah, silly. You thought I was going to make it through?"
"No. Pinkie, shut up. That's not gonna happen."
Pinkie's dry, cracked lips formed a smile.
"What's the monitor on?" She asked.
"42" Dash replied instantly.
Pinkie shook her head.
"Look at it."
Dash glanced at the small screen.

Rainbow gasped, eyes welling up.
"No, NO! HELP! SOMEPONY HELP!"
"Dash," Pinkie groaned,
"Shut up and listen. I need you to do something for me."
___/\___/\___25bpm
"Pinkie, please!"
"Something very, very important."
"NO!"
____/\____/\____18bpm
"Somepony HELP ME!!!"
"You must help the others..."
____/\______/\____14bpm
"And always..."
"No, no..."
____/\________/\____9bpm
"Keep..."

I was so close to tears writing this, I have a lump in my throat...
I have been listening to sad music a lot recently, and look how it's affected me!
