Rarity's Diary

My dearest diary;

You would not believe the thrill ride Lady Rarity has went through today. I was making a few dresses to send to Manehatten, when I suddenly had Pinkie Pie burst into my store, yelling at me that Twilight was getting her, and Rainbow Dash to get Applejack and I, though I haven't the slightest idea why Twilight didn't send Fluttershy.

We all met in one setting: Twilight's Library. We discussed an unnatural series of events: a dragon's smoke spreading through Ponyville. Applejack questioned why this was happening to which Twilight responded that, according to Princess Celestia, the dragon was sleeping.

Pinkie Pie obviously tried scaring us by saying that the dragon doesn't sound healthy. Pinkie Pie obviously has some connection to that dragon if she knows that he's unhealthy. To scare her, and Applejack, I said that the dragon could be breathing fire! Needless to say I gave the earth ponies quite the shock.

I asked what can we even do about it. Rainbow Dash's idea was to attack the dragon full blast. Clever idea, Rainbow Dash.

Twilight informed us that if we don't reason with the dragon in time, Equestria will be shrouded in smoke for a hundred years. I made a quick joke about beauty sleep. I made quite the uproar in laughs.

Rainbow Dash encouraged us to face the dragon. Nice one, Rainbow Dash. When the unicorn-pegasus resistance begins, I just may make you second-in-command.

So, we all prepared for our upcoming dragon pursuit. I picked out a hat that I found during the Royal Guard and Nightmare Moon fight, but I looked a bit, earth pony-ish, so I decided to be more stylish. Just because it's a battle doesn't mean utter fashion cannot be involved. I also did make the right safety precautions and brought a stylish, yet protective scarf.

Once we rendezvoused outside Twilight's library, she talked to us very seriously, and informed us about how she's mapping out the fastest route, and wants to make it up the mountain by nightfall. She also told us that the dragon is at the very top. Maybe should make Twilight second-in-command.

Applejack seemed frightened about the mountain, saying to us that it seems cold, obviously trying to strike fear in us. Thankfully, Rainbow Dash struck fear back in Applejack by saying that it gets colder the higher you go. But then I said about how I brought a scarf with myself. Rainbow Dash was genuinely impressed.

We all waited for Twilight to tell us to charge up the mountain. I practised my lady charms. Pinkie Pie was pulling out a balloon randomly, and I used my lady charm to make her seem impressed with herself. I knew that I would come in handy on this quest.

As we ventured up the mountain, I explained that dragons have very shiny jewels, and that I could use my lady charm to convince him to give me some. Pinkie Pie did a strangely accurate impression of a dragon, convincing me more that earth ponies are working with dragons, Spike included, so I seemed slightly furious, yet I couldn't help but give a slight chuckle.

Twilight demanded that we stick to what's important. Unfortunately, Fluttershy still hadn't went up the mountain yet. Pinkie Pie did a random act of hilarity, but I felt somewhat suspicious about her after her doing THIS much antics.

Pinkie Pie encouraged Fluttershy to fly up, but it was no use. Applejack volunteered to take Fluttershy up the mountain. Don't tell me that it was out of being nice. Applejack needs all the help she can get. It won't work.

I waited patiently for the two ponies to return. I played many tic-tac-toe games with Pinkie Pie, and she unfortunately beat me in every single one. I must up my strategy now, if Pinkie Pie has this much wit too her. How is this earth pony such a genius in the first place?

Our next obstacle was a gap to leap over. Fluttershy failed this task too. I, Rainbow, and Pinkie, helped her. Pinkie Pie had compelled Fluttershy to leap over by singing "The Earth Pony Anthem". It's a song about leaping over, obviously a metaphor for Earth Ponies and their skills of being able to jump high. Interesting use of subliminal messaging, Pinkie Pie.

The big danger came once we reached an avalanche zone. Fluttershy caused it by accident, and we all ended up in danger. I was prepared for Applejack to use her evil earth pony magic, so I jumped off the nearest gap I could find. Rainbow Dash flew down by flying, and naturally, Fluttershy did also. Pinkie Pie hopped happily down, and Applejack tried getting Twilight on the earth pony side. Nice try, evil earth pony.

Pinkie Pie eagerly wanted this to happen again, giving me more suspicions. Applejack used her sinister earth pony magic to get rid of my scarf. Luckily, I brought an extra one. Sadly, I didn't have the tiara that goes with it. Rainbow Dash simply wanted me to be more serious. It seems as though I am much more petty in this rebellion than I had imagined.

We climbed over the rubble that had formed. Fluttershy caused another accident. She bumped into I, and Applejack. I apologized to Rainbow Dash in case I did anything to offend her. I want to seem strong rather than weak again. Luckily, Dash recognizes my usefulness.

After a long journey, we had finally reached the cave that the dragon was inside. Twilight had an objective for each of us to accomplish. Pinkie and I's was to distract the dragon. I hadn't the slightest clue exactly why Pinkie had a toy chicken with her. Applejack used her evil earth pony magic. I knew her rope was the color of a chicken!

But we all assumed that we wouldn't need to come to that, as Fluttershy could just talk to the dragon. Unfortunately, we learned that Fluttershy is scared of dragons. They are the most terrifying creatures to her. She just couldn't help us a bit. She may have faced a big manticore, and interacts with the only cute dragon, but she is terrified of big dragons.

Twilight tried to go in first, and talk to the dragon. I would've joined her, but the dragon was red. Red! What an awful colour. Especially for a dragon of all creatures. We stood back, and waited to see if our leader would succeed.

We listened to Twilight and peeped. I wore a scarf while peeping, just in case him and the evil earth ponies struck us. Pinkie was even waving at him. My points are fact!

Twilight failed in persuading the dragon to leave, so I tried a little "pony charm", to get those gems that I've been striving for. My valiant efforts unfortunately failed. What a shame.

Pinkie Pie tried getting the dragon to laugh, but failed. Okay, maybe I'm wrong. Maybe the earth ponies aren't working with dragons. We could definitely get them on our side. But those plans I had quickly turned to dragon dust when Rainbow Dash used her forceful nature to get the dragon to leave. I know that I told her that the earth ponies are working with the dragons, and that this red dragon is evil, at least I think I might've told her that, but it's a little too late now.

The dragon fought us, and we were completely defenseless. But suddenly, Fluttershy rose up and confronted the dragon. And scared him rather, mentally. I knew Fluttershy was still on the good side. My current team members are all much more of a contribution than I had imagined.

Unfortunately, her assertiveness caused the dragon to burst into tears, and wet my mane. Applejack used her evil earth pony magic to remove my second scarf.

The dragon left, and we all made it back home. Rainbow Dash tried feeling useful, but then Pinkie Pie made her seem inferior. Very clever, evil earth pony.

Oh, and I tried confronting the dragon to help my friends. So sorry. I forgot to mention that.
