All I can see is a endless black void. It feels like Im surrounded my many people. The voices, they all sound so familiar.

They kept yelling and shouting at each other, some were sounding so worried while others kept yelling at someone. 

My head was still aching and my body felt even more heavier compared to last time. Both my legs and hands were feeling numb but I knew I was conscious.   

The last thing I remember is when Sunset spiked the ball and something hard slammed onto my face, knocking me straight to the floor.

What happened to me?

The voices, they're getting louder and louder. It sounds like my volleyball teammates and one unfamiliar voice.

I tried lifting my hand but it felt like someone was pushing it down. it felt like someone's hand was on top of mine, refusing me to move it.

But as soon I heard someone yelled out my name, my heart immediately skipped a beat as my eyes started to slowly open, only for me too see a bright light in front of me.

"Boke! Rainbow, You dumbass!" The unfamiliar voice called out again.

That voice.. I think I heard it before.

After my eyes fully opened I looked to my side and saw a purple-haired teen with a huge smile on her face.

Rd: "Rarity?" I managed to choke out in a weak sounding tone. 

R:" Oh Rainbow darling your awake!" Rarity squealed out of joy before moving closer for hug. 

I smiled weakly and hugged back, still glaring at the rest of the girls surrounding us. 

Ts:" Hey Dash, how are you, you good?" Twilight asked in a worried tone. "That was some fall back there."

Rd:" Im used to it.." I chuckled before seating up. "Where am I, what happened?" 

Sunset cleared her throat and stepped in front to face me.

 Ss:" You didn't move out of my attack so it slammed onto your face.. It was kinda painful to be honest." 

Fs:" Were at the school's clinic, Dashie." Fluttershy answered after she pouted and cross her arms to her chest. 

Rd:" Danm.." I muttered, placing my hand on where the ball hit my face. "It still hurts.. How long was I out?" 

Pp:" About 2 hours, how are you?" 

Rd:" My head still hurts.. P-Pinkie-" I paused and started at the pink haired teen in front of me." Pie.. Pinkie pie, right?" I continued.

She arched an eyebrow at me while others shared the exact same confused looks. 

Pp:" Of course Im pinkie pie, silly!" She giggled while pinching my cheeks. "Its like you don't remember me. Wait, Who am I?" 

Ts:" Oh f*ck here we go again." 

Pp:" If Rainbow Dash couldn't recognize me then that means Im not me! Who am I, Twilight? WHO THE HELL AM I-" 

R:" Calm your ass down, darling." Rarity interrupted with a cute giggle.

Ss: "Why does it feels like you almost forgot Pinkie pie, Rainbow?"

Rd: "I.. I dont know." I replied, slightly bowing my head down to tease the pain. "What are we doing again?"

"We were playing against Sunset and Twilight, dumbass."

As soon I heard a southern country accent respond to my question, I immediately looked back up and redirected my gaze to the voice's direction.

And there I saw a blonde country teen. Her eyes were weary and almost about to tear up, she had visible anger as her expression and she kept holding tightly to her hat.

Rd: "W-what?"

The teen stepped up in front, pushing Twilight out of the way to seat beside me in the clinical bed.

Aj: "Y-you.. Okay?" She asked worriedly.

I just stared into her emerald like eyes, being lost deep inside her glare afterwards.

My heart was beating faster, my palms began to sweat and my cheeks suddenly felt like it was burning.

But something doesn't feel right..

"Are you okay, Rainbow?" She asked again, sounding even more worried

I tilted my head and kept looking into her eyes, turning to the rest of my teammates after.

Rd: "Who.. Are you?" I asked, confused.

Her eyes widened and a forced smile formed in her face, chuckling and laughing in a loud tone.

"Haha! Very funny Rainbow but this isnt the time to joke around."

Rd: "But Im not joking around."

The cowgirl's eyes widened as pure shock was plastered in her face, showing a mixed sign of both disbelief and devastation.

"D-dumbass!" She started, grabbing my collar to pull me closer to her face. "Stop being dumb! This is not the right time to mess around!"

Rd: "I am being serious, asshole!" I shouted back before pushing her. "Who the hell is she, Sunset?"

Ss: "Wait.. You know me but dont know who Applejack and Pinkie pie is?"

Fs: "This isn't like you, Dashie."

Sg: "How wasted are you dude- Ouch!" Starlight was cut off when Countess slapped her arm.

Leaving all of their continuous questions unanswered, I quickly removed the thick blanket on top pf me and crawled out of bed.

Rd: "What the hell is going on? Seriously.."

The girl named Applejack gritted her teeth and held back her obvious tears.

Aj: "D-dumbass! Why can't you remember me?!" She cried, grabbing my shirt again.

Rd: "Dude what the hell! Let go off me!"

Sunset and the others gasped at the sight as they quickly took a hold out of the cowgirl tackling me, pulling her away from me moments later.

I just watched and glared at the others. It was clear they were all shocked that I couldn't fully recognized the blonde stranger.

But something's not right.. I heard that accent before, I know the way she talks and those emerald eyes somehow made my heart beat faster.

Why can't I remember her?

While watching Applejack push the others back as tears slowly flows down her face, something painful suddenly struck my head.

Rd: "Argh!" A painful groan escaped my mouth before loosing my balance.

Luckily Rarity managed to catch me before I fall to the ground. Same with her, the others rushed to me while Sunset and Starlight held Applejack back.

R: "Rainbow Dash!" Rarity gasped, helping me get back to my feet.

Rd: "Where are we..?"

Fs: "W-what?"

Rd: "Something's not right.. I think Im forgetting something."

Pp: "Dashie you should rest some more.. You just woke up and you're already freaking out, and you're making us freak out too!"

Ts: "Why can't you remember Applejack? Your own girlfriend.."

Rd: "M-my what?" I looked up into Twilight's eyes. "No.. What's happening to me?"

Before any of the girls could respond to my question, someone suddenly entered the room which makes all of our attention turn to the door.

It was one of the school's nurse if im not mistaken. She was wearing a face mask and was holding a checklist with my full name on it.

Yeah, I've seen her before. She's the one who always treats my wounds whenever I get into a mess with Bulk Biceps and his crew.

But why can I recognized her so quickly compared to the rest of my friends? Including the one named Applejack.

The nurse smiled and waved at us, walking up to me before ordering me to seat back down on the bed.

Rh: "Hi girls, I see Rainbow Dash is finally awake." She greeted.

Ss: "What's wrong with her, Nurse Redheart?" Sunset worriedly asked.

Nurse Redheart sighed, placing her hand on my shoulder while the others waited for her answer.

Rh: "It seems like the ball flew directly onto Rainbow's head which damaged some of her brain cells-"

Ts: "But she only have one brain cell-"

Pp: "Shut it egghead!"

Ts: 'Hmp." Twilight pouted while crossing her arms to her chest.

Nurse Redheart cleared her throat and gave me a weak smile. Applejack on the other hand managed to push Sunset and Starlight away, running towards me afterwards.

Aj: "What's wrong with this asshole? Why can't she remember me?!"

The nurse sighed and moved her head, saying 'no' to Applejack.

Rf: "Like I said sweetie. Rainbow's brain was strongly hit direct shot from Sunset's attack which damaged some of her cells. That means it has a slight chance that she lost some of her memories about.. Well you."

Aj: "Absolute bullsh*t." The cowgirl weakly grinned. "You're lying, you're both lying!"

Ss: "Applejack calm down! Your having a break down!"

Aj: "No it can't be, you wont forget me, right, Rainbow dash?!" She asked again as tears freely flow down her face.

She kept forcing out her weak smile to  make herself think that this is all a joke, a prank and all false. But one thing's clear, I can't really recall any moment I spent with her.

For me, she's an absolute stranger. But her voice, that accent, her eyes! I've seen them before.. Why can't I remember it?!

Aj: "Remember the time when I kissed you back your house? Remember the pain I felt when you rejected me!?"

Rd: "No.. "

Aj: 'Well then do you still know the time when we hooked up in training camp?! The time were we first got together and returned back to the campus as a couple!"

Ss: "Applejack calm down!" Our captain held her back.

Rd: "I- argh.." I muttered, placing both my hands to my head as the aching pain slowly got worse. "I don't know you, we never did that!"

Aj: "Asshole! Just recall the number of times we fought, we kissed and make up.. Don't you remember it?!"

As tears freely flow down the cowgirl's face, she kept pushing Sunset in a weakened force which was absolute useless compared to Sunset's weight.

Rh: "Girls please!" The nurse interrupted. "Rainbow only has a minor head injury.. Its impossible that she could forget someone who spent so much time with her!"

Applejack ignored the nurse's orders, still looking deep into my eyes while I look away from her emerald like ones.

Aj: "Dunbass.. I always call you a Dumbass.. Please remember me!"

Ts: 'Applejack calm down, you're freaking out!"

Aj: "I am not freaki-" She suddenly paused then turn to Twilight. "Freaking.."

An irresistible smile formed in the cowgirl's face before turning back to my eyes. Tears were still going flowing, dripping down to her chin.

Its making her look weak..

Rd: "I don't know you.. Stop messing with my head!"

Aj: "The FREAK DUO!" She cried before rushing towards me, grabbing my shirt again to pull me closer. "Come on.. We're the freak duo.."

Rd: "The what?"

Aj: "Can't you remember it? we were named that after we did our freak attack!" She replied in a broken weakened voice.

Cc: "Applejack.. I-" Countess tried to interfere.

Aj: "Were the freak duo! Our freak duo!" She kept repeating those words over and over again.

When suddenly, something in my mind just snapped.

A vision of me and Applejack fighting back at her house was illustrated in my mind.

She seems so familiar to me but also a complete stranger at the same time..

While Applejack kept shouting out my name to make me snap out of my thoughts, another painful feeling struck my head.

I groaned out of pain as I placed my hand on my head, still bowing my head to tease the pain.

Everybody in the room started to gasp, especially the blonde cowgirl.

But moments later, the pain eventually went away, leaving me with teary eyes and a shocked expression.

Images and visions kept flashing in my mind. Some were the times were me and Applejack mostly fought while some were showing how we loved each other.

I know her.. But how come I couldn't fully recognize her?

A few seconds of silence passed, everybody stayed silent as they continued to watch the nurse comfort me.

After a few seconds, I finally stopped screaming and looked up to my team, turning to the blonde haired stranger afterwards.

Rd: "Applejack..?" I managed to choke out with a weak smile.

She irresistibly smiled back and pulled me into a tight hug.

Aj: "Goddammit dumbass! I thought I lost you.."

Pp: "Hey its like she's gonna die.."

Ts: "Yet." Twilight joked.

Fs: "Are you okay, Dashie?"

Rd: "I don't know.." I answered Fluttershy after pulling away from Applejack's hug. "Why are you crying? Dumbass.. "

Aj: "I could ask you the same thing, sugarcube." Applejack giggled while wiping my tears away. "Remember me?"

Rd: "I do.. " I smiled, planting a small kiss on her forehead.

While the people around us started to cheer and yell "awe" at us, I slowly moved away from the cowgirl and faced Nurse red heart.

Rd: "What happened to me?" I asked, still holding on the part where the ball hit me.

Rh: "Well a ball hit your head during your team's match.. And because of its strong force, it might have damaged some of your brain cells."

Rd: "So?"

Rh: "Well than explains the fact why can't you recognized your friends. But luckily you recovered and the case isnt that severe!" She added after pinching my cheeks.

Ss: "But that was a hard fall.. Are you sure that there's no need to bring Rainbow Dash to a hospital?"

Rh: "No need, Sunset." Redheart said. "But if she gets hit in the head again by a large blow, her amnesia might be permanent.."

"And its best if she takes a break from volleyball for now."

My eyes widened at the nurse's suggestion. But that made me realized something.

Rd: "No I cant!" I started, getting out of the bed. "We have a match right now, no one won yet!"

I then pushed Wallflower out of the way and ran to the door.

But before I could even hold onto the door knob, I felt someone pull me back, making me turn around, only to see Applejack with a disappointed look.

Rd: "Hey, let go off me! We have to continue the match!" I said, pulling my hand back but her grip was too strong.

Aj: "Dumbass.."

Rd: "Quick! The qualifying matches starts tomorrow! Your gonna need me in the team so lets go continue the game!"

Aj: "DUMBASS!" Applejack shouted before grabbing my shoulder, twirling me around to pin me onto the wall. "Listen to me!"

Ss: "A-applejack!" Sunset gasped but Pinkie pie covered her way and nodded at her.

Sunset nodded back and held in her anger at the raging cowgirl.

I was still being pinned onto the wall while Applejack took heavy breathes, tightening her grip on my wrists after.

Aj: Rainbow.."

Rd: "What?! What is so important that makes you stop me from achieving my dream?! What the hell is it, dumbass!"

Aj: "WE LOST GODDAMMIT, RAINBOW DASH!"

My eyes widened and a smile formed in my face out of disbelief. A tear shed in my eye, still forcing myself to think that this was all joke, all a lie.

Rd: "No.. It can't be."

Aj: "R-rainbow.. Im so sorr-"

Rd: "This can't be real! We haven't finished the 3rd set yet! No one won yet!"

Aj: "I.. I continued it."

Rd: "W-what?"

Applejack took a deep breath and looked at the girls behind us.

Aj: "I continued it and Starlight took your place.. But we lost, Im sorry."

Rd: "No.." I chuckled, slamming my fist onto Applejack's chest in repeated times. "Asshole.. How could you."

Aj: "Rainbow Im so sor-"

I cut her off by grabbing her shirt's collar to pull her down to match my height which made her gasp in pure shock.

I just forced out a grin and looked into her emerald eyes, letting go off her shirt as my hands began to weaken.

Rd: "No.. Does that means I can't play volleyball anymore?" I kept my forced smile as tears freely flow down my face.

Aj: "No.." She started, taking another deep breath.

Before she could even continue talking, I immediately pushed her out of the way and ran out of the room.

I can hear my friends yelling out my name but Applejack's calls overlaps all of them.

I just kept running and running, ignoring the fact that my stamina was still out.

When I was about to ran outside the building, I felt another hand grab me from behind.

Rd: "Let go off me, asshole!" I shouted, sounding angered, before turning around to swing my fist to her face.

But she quickly grabbed my fist and pulled me into a hug, making my watery eyes go wide.

Aj: "Please.. Talk to me." She said with a broken tone in her voice.

Rd: "There's no point, Applejack." i laughed. "My dreams, my goals and achievement.. Are all gone. Because I was stupid to challenge Sunset.."

Aj: "Rainbow, no.."

Rd: "Why did I even think I could beat her? Why would you even help a dumbass like me!?" I asked her, hugging back.

My grip on her shirt tightened after I rested my head on her shoulder, making the tears fall down onto her shirt.

The feeling of being in her arms as well with her smooth touch made my eyes even more watery but also safe at the same time.

Its a shame I can never feel this again..

Aj: "Shh.. Don't cry, I got you." She started, pulling away from the hug to face me right in my eyes. "You still have hope.."

Rd: "What do you mean? You knew volleyball was my life! And now I blew my chances with a single match.. I CAN NEVER PLAY VOLLEYBALL EVER AGAIN!"

Aj: "It's true.. Those were your own words but.." She leaned closer.

"You can still play.."

I wiped my tears away and stared back into her eyes, tilting my head in slight confusion.

Rd: "What do you mean? I lost the bet, Applejack! I can never play again.."

She chuckled and wiped my newly formed tears flowing down my cheeks.

Aj: "No.. I changed the bet."

"I bet my own sport to replace your bet.. You can still play, Rainbow."

"But Im no longer with you."

"Nor by your side for me to toss you the ball."

"Im just in the crowd, cheering you on from now on."
