The Reading Rainbow

Who: Rainbow Dash, open to any visitors, hospital staff, or other patients
What: Rainbow Dash is recovering in the hospital and being tsun for reading
Where: Mayfield Hospital
When: February 7th
Warnings: None

[Rainbow Dash's stay at the hospital has been an absolute nightmare. Not because of the pain, not because of the amount of surgery, not even the terrible food they kept feeding her.

No, it was because of the waiting. They might as well just killed her right there, because at this rate she was going to die from boredom. Luckily the sedatives kept her from crawling out of bed and leaving, but there was only so much you could do to keep a pony who was always on the go to stay in one spot for too long. And what was worse, she had to stay in the hospital at least a couple more days before going home.

This was torture.

Strangely enough, a pile of books had appeared in her room the night before. It seemed to be a series revolving around a pony named Daring Do and her adventures in search of rare treasure. At first Rainbow Dash ignored the books for a while, reading was for eggheads after all, and she was definitely not some egghead. That kind of reading stuff was more like something Twilight would do, not her. But after a few hours set in and Rainbow Dash was quickly succumbing to boredom, she reluctantly picked up the book called "Daring Do and the Quest for the Sapphire Stone" and started to read the first few pages out loud.

Much to her surprise, she found herself enjoying the book the more she read it, her voice becoming more and more enthusiastic and  animated with each page she read.]


As Daring Do sank quicker into the sand trap, she realized this could be her last. Come on Daring Do, you can totally get out of this one!

[But unfortunately for Rainbow Dash, she's so involved in her book that she doesn't notice anyone else approaching.]

[It's really not something that can be brushed off. But that won't stop him from trying.]

A promise is a promise. You don't owe me anything.
