HOLY BUCK, last night was AWKWARD.

Your telling me! AHAHAHAHA, sucks to be you!

Do you really have to rub it in?

Why yes. Yes I do.

“Ty?”

“Huh? Oh, good morning Twi.”

“Last night was...”

“Please don't talk about it.”

“Alright.”

“So.... what's on the schedule for today?”

“Well, you're supposed to be at work...... half an hour ago.”

“WHAT! I thought that I made my own hours!”

“There is still a quota that you have to fill. To meet that quota today, you were supposed to be at work half an hour ago.”

“BUCK! I got to go! See you tonight, love you!” I quickly dashed out of the library.

“I.... love you too?” She was confused at how fast I left.

I flew as quickly as I could to the cloud base. I flew past a lot of pegasi on my way to. I never noticed how many other weather ponies there were. Well, I can't control the weather by myself, can I?

I dashed into the cloud base, quickly spotting the chief.

“Chief! Sorry I'm late, I slept i-”

“No time Tybalt, I have an urgent matter.”

“Oh no.... what happened?”

“You know Miss Dash.”

“Yeah?”

“You also know that she's been coming in early ever since you arrived.”

“Yes? Where are you going with this?”

“Well.... she hasn't come in yet.”

“What? Maybe she's just tired is all!”

“That's what I thought too, until her pink friend came to me.”

“Wh- PINKIE?” I saw Pinkie in the corner.

“Yes sir ree bob! I got my infamous twitchy tail! I knew that it had something to do with Dashie!”

“That's not what I'm talking about.... how did you get up here?”

“Hot air balloon.” She motioned outside, where to my surprise, hang a hot air balloon.... I will never understand Pinkie.

“Wha-? HOW ARE YOU ON THE CLOUD? I thought only Pegasus could!”

“Silly! I'm not ON the cloud! I'm on this cloud couch!”

“Wha... I'm not even going to ask. Easier and faster to just believe you.”

“What was that?”

“Nothing.”

“I got my twitchy tail and floppy ears! That means that Dashie is in trouble!”

“I will never understand how that Pinkie sense of yours works.”

“Neither will I!”

“...So, Dashie is in trouble?”

“I'm actually not sure. Twitchy tail and floppy ears either mean Dashie is in trouble, or that it's raining frogs. I sort of lost it in translation.” She seemed completely oblivious to what she's saying!

“Do you even hear yourself talking?”

“Eh, I fade in and out.”

“...”

“So yeah! Now, I'm off to sugarcube corner! Have a nice day!” She said as she hopped into her hot air balloon. Seriously, what?

Like I said, Pinkie fucks physics.

“See Tybalt? She told me that Miss Dash is in trouble. Therefore I am giving you the day off. Don't disappoint me; believe it or not, she's one of my hardest workers.”

“I can imagine.”

Just then I saw Caloo coming up to me with Derpy at his side.

“Did I hear that Rainbow is in trouble?”

“Yes.”

“Can I help?”

“Sorry, but if Dashie's in trouble then I have to help her.”

“Please! I'll do anyth-”

“WHAT IF IT'S DANGEROUS?” My sudden outburst caused him to stop in mid sentence.

“What?”

“What if it's dangerous! You have a marefriend and a daughter to look after. If you die, that is a family lost. If I die, boo hoo, life goes on.”

“You can't possible mean that last part!”

“I do. I don't care what happens to me, all I know is that one of my friends is in trouble.”

“Then let me help!”

“Can't. I wouldn't let one of my friends get hurt for me. Also, like I said before, you have a family.”

Derpy turned to Caloo.

“He has a poi-”

“ARE YOU TAKING HIS SIDE?” This time it was Caloo yelling.

“What? No!”

“Then why won't you let me help him!?”

I stepped in. “Don't talk to her like that; it's my fault. I'll just go now. Besides, we're making a scene. Goodbye Caloo.”

He could only glare at me as I flew out of the airbase with about 10 pairs of eyes aimed at me.

I flew over Ponyville, scanning over the entire landscape. I saw all of the familiar places; the farm, sugar cube corner, the cottage, the library, the boutique, and the cloud house. Since Dashie is in trouble, that rules out the cloud house. Since Pinkie warned me, that rules out sugar cube corner. I decided to visit the farm first.

I flew over the apple trees straight up to the door. I saw an orange mare with a hat wave at me.

“Mornin' Tybalt! What brings ya to the farm?”

“I have just a question. Have you seen Dashie lately?”

“Hmm, Actually, Ah saw her yesterday. Why? Is somethin' tha matter?”

“I'm not sure. May I speak to John?”

“Well, iffn' he's up to it.”

“Thanks, I really appreciate it. Where is he?”

“Just workin' in the farm with Big Mac. Just go over that way” She gestured into her forest of apple trees. “And ya should find them.”

“All right, thanks Apple Jack.”

“Anytime.”

I walked through the trees to where Apple Jack told me to go. Sure enough, I found John and Big Macintosh harvesting apples.

John saw me and walked over.

“Good morning Tybalt. What brings you to the farm today?”

“I wanted to ask you a question.”

“Sure, what is it?”

“Have you seen Dashie today?”

“Hmm. Sorry, but I haven't. Why, is something wrong?”

“I'm not sure. That's why I'm going around asking everypony.”

“Jeez. Well, tell me if anything happens.”

“Can do. Say hello to Big Macintosh for me please.”

“Sure. See you around!”

“See you.”

Next: The cottage. I flew over Ponyville towards the Everfree forest. The cottage slowly came into focus as I flew closer to it. I landed on the steps leading up to the cottage. I knocked on the door, which was accompanied by a shuffling of hooves.

The door opened with Shy behind it.

“Oh- hello Tybalt.”

“Hello Shy. Would you mind if I asked you a question?”

“No. Please, come in.” she opened her door wide and gestured for me to come in.

We both sat down on the couch.

“So, what's happening?”

“I wanted to know if you've seen Dashie today.”

“Rainbow? What, is she in trouble? Oh, I hope she's okay.”

“Don't worry, I'll make sure that she's alright. Did you see her anytime today or yesterday though?”

“Sorry, but I haven't seen her.”

“Do you have any idea where she could be?”

“Sorry again, but I don't know! She isn't the kind of pony to leave somewhere without telling her friends!”

Then I should hurry up and find out where she is. “Thank you Shy. I'll be sure to find her.”

“Thank you Tybalt!”

“She's my friend, so I won't stop at finding her. Have a nice day Shy.”

“Thank you, you too Tybalt.”

Two places left: The library and the boutique. By Celestia, if she's in Ponyville, I will find her.

I flew as quickly as I could to the library. Twi was inside with Spike sorting out the books.... again.

“Ty? What are you doing back so early?” Twi said as I entered.

“No time. Have you seen Dashie lately?”

“Not since last night, why?”

Spike spoke. “Why? What happened last night?”

Twi said, “I'll tell you when you're older, Spike.”

“Again with the 'when you're older' thing!”

“You'll understand when we tell you.”

“Twi. Back to the point, do you have an idea where Dashie could have gone?”

“'Could have gone'? Why, is she okay?”

“I'm not sure. Pinkie had one of her sense episodes. She said that it either means that Dashie is in trouble- or it's raining frogs. And I don't see any clouds.”

“Well that's Pinkie for you.”

“I thought so. So, any ideas?”

“Have you already asked the girls?”

“Yes. All except for Rarity.”

“Strange. Rainbow isn't the type of pony that leaves without telling her friends.”

“Weird. Shy said nearly the exact same thing.”

“This may be serious. Do you need my help?”

“Sorry, but no. I know that you're capable, but I couldn't stand it if you got hurt on my part.”

“As if it would be alright if you got hurt?”

“Mostly, I've only been here for a few weeks, while you've been here for years.”

“Even so, you getting hurt is no small matter.”

“It is for me. Mortal pain only lasts for so long.”

“What?”

“N-nothing. If I'm lucky, you'll never understand that.”

“Just tell me that you'll get Rainbow back safely.”

“I will try my best.”

“Thank you... I guess.”

If Rarity doesn't know where Dashie is at, I'll have to literally check everywhere in Ponyville. I said I would, and I will if I have to.

I left the library, launching myself towards Rarity's. The boutique quickly came into view. I knocked on the door three times. On the third knock, I heard a voice from inside.

“Just a minute!” I heard Rarity say in a worried tone. What is she up to now?

“Ye- Oh, hello there Darling!” She said as she opened up the door.

“Hello there Rarity.”

“Ha, is there anything that I can help you with?” She was slightly trembling and sweating, two things that she deemed was 'unlady like'.

“Yes, have you seen Dashie?”

“What? NO!” She was yelling now.

“Uh, excuse me?”

“Uh, I mean, no! I haven't! Why, is something wrong?”

“Maybe.... Pinkie told me that she might be in trouble.”

“That's ridiculous darling! She can quite well handle herself!” That's pretty much the opposite of what everypony else said.

“Are you sure about that?”

“Yes! Rainbow is a tough pony!” She had a MASSIVE devious smile on her.

“Can I come in?”

“What??”

“I said, can I come in.”

“Uh.... sure, darling! Just please stay away from the upstairs room; I'm making all of the girls Grand Galloping Gala dresses!” Yes, Twi told me that the Grand Galloping Gala was going to be soon.

“All right... I guess.” I slowly walked in. Something was definitely 'up' here. I looked through the main floor of the house. Everything seemed in order, so I slowly (while listening for anything) walked out. When I was outside the door I said:

“All right Rarity... Everything seems allri-”

Then I faintly heard it.

“Mmmhmm!” From the house.

“Rarity?”

“.....NO ONE SEES THE WIZARD!” She screamed as she slammed the door in my face and locked it.

“Open this door!” I yelled.

“Never!”

“You have till the count of three!” I braced myself against the ground.

“ONE!” I stretched my legs.

“TWO!” I flared my wings.

“THREE.” I launched myself towards the door, my shoulder out in front of me.

The door shattered in a barrage of splinters.

“WHERE ARE YOU HIDING HER?”

“H-hiding w-who d-d-darling?” She was stuttering and cowering. She was clearly scared out of her mind.

I walked up to her. She shrank away from me.

“You know damn well who I'm talking about.”

Then it hit me.

“Upstairs!” It was obvious! She wasn't making dresses, she was hiding Dashie!

“Tybalt! Don't! You WILL regret it!”

“And why the hell would I?”

I launched myself upstairs, crashing directly into the door of Rarity's room.

….What I saw made me stop dead in my tracks.

Filthy Rich. The pony Dashie had told me about. That Celestia damned rich pony. Always got what he wanted. It seemed that was true here, he got what he wanted....

….He got Dashie.

She was bound and gagged while being mounted from behind.

“Mmhm!” She saw me. And so did Filthy.

“What in the fuck do you think you're doing to her?”

“And who might you be?” The sick fucking bastard! He kept thrusting into her while talking to me! Why I haven't killed this guy already is beyond me.

“I'm the person who you'll see when you go to your grave. Get off of her. Now.” I was saying though clenched teeth.

“And why the hell should I-”

His speech was cut short. I flared my wings and launched myself straight at him. I turned around in midair and my hind hooves connected with his muzzle.

Then I heard Dashie mutter something that sounded like 'Yeah! Kick his flank!'

My little flank – kicking session was cut short. The next thing that I saw was a crystal white bubble surrounding me.

“Now now Tybalt, I can't have you messing up my 'deal'.” Rarity.

“What..... bucking..... deal......” I could hardly talk with her magic restraining me.

“Well, you see.... Rainbow here left me in the desert. IN the time that time that I spent making it back to Ponyville, I missed an appointment. An important appointment. One with Filthy Rich and the tuxedo that I was making him for the Grand Galloping Gala. He is one of my best clients, and as you can see, I couldn't afford to lose him. Since this was Rainbow's fault, I set up a little.... deal.”

“As in.... He get's Dashie's virginity.... and you get him as a customer.”

“See! You get it! You MUST see why I did this!”

“Do you really hate her..... that much?”

“What do you mean, darling?”

“How can you call yourself.... her friend after this.”

“If she is petty enough to break our friendship because of this, then I can't stop her. She must remember that this is HER fault though. If she had come back for me, none of this would have happened!”

“How can you.... call yourself.... the element of generosity?”

“Do you think this choice was easy for me?”

“It seems so, considering the scene in front of me.”

“What? How dare you....”

“How dare I? HOW DARE I? You're the one prostituting your friend!”

She was fuming at this point.

“Inconsiderate..... Brute!” She had a rag with what I presumed was either some sort of poison or chloroform. She slowly walked to me and applied it to my muzzle, not taking any care to be gentle.

The world started fading to black.

…..or was it?
