The Masked Mare of Mystery

Celestia's POV

I returned to the castle with a young cadet at the door to greet me. He was  an orange pegasus with blue hair.

"Welcome back Princess." he said with a bow.

"Thank you, and your name good sir?" I asked.

"Flash Sentry, your highness." he replied.

"Well Flash, can you tell Captain Excalibur that I have the situation under control, he'll know what your talking about." I told him.

With a salute, we went off. I entered the castle and went back to my throne. No sooner had I sat down did a wisp of purple sparkling smoke, which then took the form of a letter.

Dear Princess Celestia

I'd like to thank you again for your help in my mission to save Equestria from evil. While I'd hate to ask anything from my princess, I do require a few thing I'm afraid I can't obtain on my own. They are the following:

A means to change into my costume in an instant

A means to teleportation

Some kind of uncuttable steel cable

Some kind of weapon that can be used for offensive and defensive purposes

If I think of anything else, I'll to get it on my own, otherwise, these are the things I require. Thank you in advance, and this won't become a habit, I promise.

                                                                                                                            Signed,

                                                                                                                       Your subject, Rainbow Dash

I sighed sadly. My subjects will never talk to me normally. Just then, a regal red bird flew into the room. I stuck out a hoof for her to land on. Philomena always did know when to cheer me up. Like me, the phoenix can live forever, so her companionship is always appreciated. She was especially help for the 1000 yrs Luna was away.

"At least you treat me normally." I told her.

Philomena only squawked in reply.

Oh well. I might was well contact Equestria labs and get the cable and the weapon for Rainbow Dash, the costume and teleportation problems can be dealt with a spell.

"Instant Message!" I called.

A yellow pegasus stallion walked into the room and bowed.

"You call Princess?" he asked.

I quickly produced a piece of paper and a pen and wrote down my order.

"Yes, I need you to take this to Equestria Laboratories." I replied, sending it over to him. He took it and stuff it in his saddlebag.

"Of course, Princess." he bowed and flew out.

Third Person POV

Rainbow Dash flew over to Golden Oaks library, racing through the door, just narrowly avoiding crashing into a shelve.

"Ever heard of knocking Rainbow Dash?" Twilight asked annoyed.

"Yeah, but don't like knocking, I prefer to  just make an entrance, you'd see it's me." she replied.

"And what if you walk into a less than desirable scene?" the purple unicorn asked.

"That's on me." Dash replied.

"What can I do for you Rainbow Dash?" Twilight asked with an eye roll.

"I need Spike to sent this to the Princess." Dash replied, producing a letter.

"Why? What does it say?" the egghead asked suspiciously.

"With all due respect Twilight, it's none of your business." the speedster retorted.

Twilight yanked the letter from Rainbow's hooves and restrained her with magic. Twilight opened the letter and read it interested.

"Care to explain?" Twilight asked in a mischievous tone.

The rainbow maned pegasus sighed. "I'm the one who took up the act of Mare Do Well."

"I knew it. Who would suspect a pony who hated the hero." Twilight said triumphantly.

"Okay, now can you sent the letter?" Rainbow Dash asked annoyed.

"Spike! I need you sent this to the princess!" Twilight called.

The little purple dragon  walked into the room. Twilight handed him the letter and he sent it off.

"Why did you do it Dash?" Spike asked.

"There's going to be a disaster somewhere in Equestria. Somepony has to be ready for it. But the main reason is, the ponies needed somepony to look out for them. I took it upon myself to do so." Rainbow Dash replied.

"And how, prey-tell, did you get Princess Celestia to help you?" Twilight asked, wondering why her mentor would do such a thing.

"You know those rumors about the satellite?" Dash asked.

"Yes."

"They're true. I hack it to see all of Equestria at once from my computer. Somepony found out and informed the princess. She can to see me, and I explained my intentions." Dash explained.

Twilight was silent for a moment.

"Okay Rainbow Dash, your secret safe with us.But I'm pretty sure the others have figured it out by now, after all we did burn the rest of our friends have figured it out." Twilight warned.

"Okay, thank for the heads up, find me as soon as you get  as soon as you get a response." RD said seriously.

Twilight nodded.

"Oh, and don't forget to come to the party Pinkie's throwing for my parents. You wouldn't believe what happened when I told her they adopted Scootaloo." Dash chuckled.

"What?"

"She hyperventilated, stared at me, and fainted. When Pinks came to, she was muttering something about a quadruple  celebration and  wondering why the author subjected her to such a thing." Dash said confused.

"Well, you know Pinkie, it's best to not even ask." Twilight said reassuringly.

"Well, there is one pony we could ask, but I doubt she could help us try to understand her mind, anyway I'd better get going, see ya Twi." Dash called as she flew out.

"Bye Rainbow!" Twilight called as the pegasus flew out.

"A pony who can understand the mind of Pinkie Pie, that'd be the day." the purple unicorn thought to herself.
