The Aftermath (age 14)

The girls had been taken the hospital via the ambulance and were now seeing the nurse. They'd been given some oxygen as they'd been having a little trouble breathing, the burns on rainbows arms weren't too bad and had, had some soothing cream applied to it.


Windy whistles: *rushes into the room* where are my babies?!


Nurse: their right over here miss. Are you their mother?


Windy whistles: I am yes. Are they ok?


Nurse: rainbow as some slight burning on her arm, and they both have had some oxygen. Other than that their alright just a little shaken up, I'll leave you alone with them.


Windy whistles: thank you.


She went over to the girls and gave them a tight hug and kissed their heads.


Windy whistles: oh thank goodness my babies are ok!


Scootaloo: *hugs Windy and smiles* rainbow was amazing mum!


Windy whistles: *strokes scootaloo's hair* I know she was sweetie.


Rainbow: *mumbles sadly* no I wasn't.


Windy hears what rainbow says and walks over to rainbows bed and sits down.


Windy whistles: why do you say that sweetheart?


Rainbow: *starting to tear up* it's my fault that the house caught fire, it's my fault all of thing are gone, *getting more upset* it's my fault we now have no home and it's my fault that scoot and I nearly died! *now crying hysterically* IT'S ALL MY FAULT!


Windy whistles: *hugs rainbow and rocks her slightly* shhhh shhh it's alright baby it's alright, it was an accident no one is too blame.


Rainbow: *hiccuping* b-but n-now W-we h-have n-no w-where t-to l-live!


Windy whistles: shh it's ok what's important is that you two are safe.


Scootaloo: where are going to live though mum?


Windy whistles: your aunt dusty cloud has offered to take us in.


The nurse came back in and the girls had fallen asleep.


Nurse: is everything alright?


Windy whistles: yeah the girls are just exhausted and they fell asleep.


Nurse: that's ok I just needed to tell you that the police are coming and they've been discharged,
Once the police have been you can take them home.


Windy whistles: woah hang why are the police coming?


Nurse: they need to speak to rainbow dash about the fire.


Windy whistles: *becoming defensive* they're not going to arrest her are they?! It was an accident and she's 14 years old!


Nurse: *softly* relax miss whistles no one is going to be arrested, it's just a procedure they have to follow they know that it was an accident they happen a lot.


Windy whistles: *sighs in relief* ok. I think rainbow might have some form of PTSD is there anything we can do for her?


Nurse: we can definitely set her up for some therapy, if you think that would work.


Windy whistles: yes that would be great thank you.


The police came and spoke to rainbow and Windy was then able to take them home (well to her sisters house) she offered them some dinner but rainbow didn't feel like eating and told them she was going to go straight to bed.


Dusty: is dashie ok windy?


Windy whistles: honestly I don't know, I think the fire as really shook her up. Scootaloo are you alright?


Scootaloo: yeah the fire was a little scary, but having saving me made me feel a lot better. *sadly* I think rainbows really suffering though mum.


Windy whistles: I think she is as well sweetie.


The weeks went by and rainbows PTSD had gotten worse, she'd starting having terrifying nightmares and even began having accidents and throwing up. It was the middle of the night and rainbow had just had another accident and been sick. She was going to windy and bows bedroom which dusty had given to them.


Rainbow: *crying* m-mum d-dad?


Windy whistles: *wakes up* W-what? Oh dashie, what's wrong baby?


Rainbow didn't say anything and but just stood there shaking with and sobbing.


Windy whistles: oh baby come here.


rainbow went and sat next to windy and collapsed into her arms sobbing and shaking.


Windy whistles: *rocks rainbow gently* shhh it's alright baby. *turns to bow* honey can you get rainbow a spare pair set of clothes?


Bow hothoof: yes of course.


Rainbow: *crying* I-I d-don't w-want t-to b-be o-on m-my o-own!


Windy whistles: *strokes rainbows hair* shh i know you don't it's ok, you can stay here with us.


*the next morning*


Rainbow was still fast asleep and windy had decided to allow her to have a day off of school. She's offered Scootaloo the day off as well but she wanted to go and see her friends.


*at school*


Aj: hey scootaloo how's rainbow doing?


Scootaloo: *sadly* she's ok applejack.


Aj: what's wrong Sugarcube?


Scootaloo: *sighs* rainbows been really struggling since the fire, she's been having nightmares and accidents.


Aj: that really does sound awful. Would it be ok if I came and saw her?


Scootaloo: I think rainbow would really love that.


Later that day once school was over applejack came over to visit rainbow.


Aj: hi miss whistles.


Windy whistles: applejack I've told you, you can call me windy you've none me for long enough.


Aj: thank you, can I see rainbow?


Windy whistles: of course you can, she's upstairs.


Aj: thank you.


Applejack went upstairs to rainbows bedroom and found rainbow laid on the bed, she went and laid next to her.


Rainbow: *tiredly* a-applejack?


Aj: hey dashie. Everything ok?


Rainbow: *sighs* not really. We've got no home and I keep having nightmares.


Aj: is there no insurance?


Rainbow: my dads work can cover the damage to the stuff in the house, but the house insurance it's self expired 6 months ago.


Applejack and the rest of their friends had decided that they were going to raise the money for rainbow and her family to get their home back.


They had fund raising events and had permission from principal Celestia to hold them at the school and every one was putting money in. After 3 weeks they'd raised enough money to pay the insurance to the house which meant that bow and Windy was able to get their house fixed up.


*a month later*


The family had moved back into their home which now had more than one fire escape. Rainbow had started seeing a shrink and her PTDS was getting better, her nightmares were slowing down and she's not had an accident for a while. rainbow was laid on her bed and applejack came and laid next to her.


Rainbow: *smiling* hey aj.


Aj: *pulls rainbow into her side* hey! How you doing?


Rainbow: *sighs* good for the first time in a while I'm good, thank you for everything that you and the girls did for us.


Aj: it was no problem Sugarcube.


Rainbow: *hugs applejack* so when do we tell them our secret?


Aj: *smiles and kisses rainbow on the lips* whenever you're ready sweetheart.


A/N: cliff hanger! Yes I support the appledash ship, if you don't that's fine but please respect the fact that I do. The important thing is everyone is ok after the fire. I think I'll do a story for this ship. As long as I keep rainbow under 18 it's still class's as a kidfic.
