Rainbow whistled a happy tune, strolling into her and Applejack's shared kitchen. Her mind was on a snack. Rainbow stopped, hands in her hips, looking around. She spotted a bowl of fresh fruit Applejack has gotten the other day. On top of the mountain of fruits, there sat a bright red, perfect apple.

Rainbow walked over to where the bowl sat on top of the kitchen counter. She grabbed the apple. She stared at it, thinking.

Should I eat it like this?? Or cut it?? Apples always taste better when they're cut into slices.

Slices it is. Rainbow lightly tossed the apple into the air and caught it with a grin. She went to the knife drawer and opened it. She picked up one the sharp kitchen utensils.

Applejack doesn't like it when I use knives, but she's taking a nap. I think I can do it just this once without her finding out.

Rainbow Dash carefully placed the sharp knife on the counter and went over to the sink. She rinsed the apple and then went back to the counter where the knife laid. Wiping the counter clean, she it down the apple, positioning it. Taking the knife in her other hand, Rainbow out knife to fruit.

She began to slice the apple with slow sawing motions. The apple was a bit resistant to the knife, so she had to press down a life.

Suddenly her hand slipped. Rainbow gasped in surprise. She felt the blade graze her skin. Next thing she knew, blood was trickling down her hand, a decent sized cut in between her left thumb and index finger.

"Crap!!"

Rainbow clutched her left hand tightly with the other, doubling over. Pain burned into her wounded hand. Rainbow's breathing quickened. She looked down at her hand. Blood slowly ran down her cyan skin, dripping.

"Shit! Shit! Shit!"

Rainbow looked around in a panic. She liked for anything she could use to stop the bleeding. She hurried out of the room and up to the bathroom. She saw her and Applejack's towel hanging up on hooks. Rainbow immediately grabbed her towel. She pressed one corner of the body towel to her arm. The feeling stung but she knew she needed to ignore it.

Rainbow went over to the toilet. She made sure the lid of the toilet was down before sitting on top. She let out a shaky breath, attempting to calm herself down. Panicking was not something she did. She could handle this.

"It's just a cut, Rainbow. You'll be okay. No need to panic. You'll be fine."

Rainbow sat there for a good ten minutes, keeping pressure on the wound. She was sure there'd be a lot blood soaking baby blue towel she was using.

Maybe I should tell Applejack.

Rainbow shook her head at the thought. She didn't need any help from her girlfriend. She'd patched up her own injuries in the past while she was in foster care. She didn't need anyone's help.

After she made sure that the blood flow ceased, Rainbow Dash rinsed off the blood and put on disinfectant ointment in it and then found a bandaid that wouldn't stick to the injury and let it breath. Afterwards she tested her wrist and hand to make sure she had full function of it. Once she was sure she'd be okay, Rainbow went back downstairs.
