Enjoy :)
Rainbow sleepily flipped through the channels on the tv. She fought against the medication the doctors had given to her. The bags under her eyes made her eyelids feel like they weighed a ton.
Rainbow stopped on Nickelodeon. The very first Spongebob movie was on. Rainbow stopped and put the remote down. She stared at the screen blankly. She gazed around the room.

Rainbow was trying to keep her mind busy so she couldn't fall asleep. She did not want to go to sleep. Sleep was bad. Sleep brought nightmares. Ever since she had to tell the police what happened to her and had to look at his picture, she saw the man whenever she slept. It was had gotten worse since the news was now filled with the face of the man that had molested her on her birthday.
She woke up sometimes at night, sweaty and panicking. She'd stay up, on Applejack's phone, afraid to go back to sleep.
She didn't tell Applejack or the doctors, so they wouldn't worry. Rainbow felt like a bother to them already. She was already taking Applejack away from her job and her friends. Applejack was already stressed out because of her and what happened to her. She didn't want Applejack to worry. Plus, she could handle a little sleepiness. She'd stayed awake all night a couple of times before.
Rainbow heard the hospital door slide open. She looked at the doorway to see Applejack walk in with a little bag. She smiled.
"Hey, baby. Ah got cha somethin."
This spiked Rainbow's alertness. She sat up.
"What is it?? Let me see!."
Her tail wagged in excitement. Applejack walked to the bed, grinning.
She pinched Rainbow's cheek.
"You're so cute." She cooed.
Rainbow pushed her hand away, blushing. Applejack reached into the bag and pulled out one of Rainbow's favorite squeaky toys. Rainbow's face lit up.
Applejack held it up as lightly tossed it to her. Rainbow caught it in her mouth. She bit down, hearing the satisfying high pitched squeak.
She crossed her legs and chewed on the toy slowly. Applejack sat down in the chair next to the bed, putting her shoulder bag down in the floor.
She watched Rainbow Dash for a moment. She frowned.
"Wait a second." She said. "The doctor said the medication should've made you extremely sleepy by now. We're you still awake??."
Rainbow paused and looked up at her. She shrugged, looking away. Applejack raised an eyebrow.
"That reminds me. Why do ah keep wakin' up every mornin ta find mah phone dead??."
Rainbow awkwardly went back to chewing. She shrugged.
Applejack gave her a look.
"Rainbow." She said, prolonging the o. "Are you hidin' somethin' from me?? Don't lie. You never get away with a lie from me."
Rainbow shrunk a little, knowing Applejack had backed her into a corner.
She pulled the squeaky toy out of her mouth and shrugged.
"I don't wanna sleep." She said.
