Act 1, Scene 2

(Soarin is shown in his room, wearing his costume aside from his mask. His room is large and roomy, decorated with large paintings of the Wonderbolts, newspaper clippings, photographs with fans and other things. His bed is large, has a red bedspread, a blue cover with a Wonderbolts symbol on top of it, has 4 posts that hold up a small piece of fabric and a beige curtain that goes all the way around the bed. Soarin is sitting on the side of the bed, looking at a map of Equestria. Then, Spitfire comes onto the stage.)

(Spitfire)

“Hey Soarin, have you got our plans for the Equestria stunt-show?”

(Soarin)

“Yeah. They’re right here.”

(Spitfire walks over to him as Soarin goes into a near-by chest of drawers and hands her another map of Equestria, the shows clearly marked with big red circles over them. After Spitfire takes them, she’s just about to leave when Soarin sighs sadly.)

(Spitfire)

“You okay Soarin?”

(Soarin looks at Spitfire before speaking.)

(Soarin)

“Yeah. I’m OK. I’m just a little nervous about the stunt show.”

(Spitfire)

“Oh OK Soarin. I’ll just go get my costume. I’ll be right back.”

(Spitfire leaves the stage. After a few seconds, Soarin sighs again, puts down his map, goes into the same drawer he got the map from and moves his hoof around, trying to find something. He then finds what he’s looking for and pulls it out. It’s a picture of Rainbow Dash. He then looks lovingly into it.)

(Soarin)

“Oh Rainbow Dash, if only I had the courage to tell you how I really feel about you.”

(He then stands up, the picture in his hoof. He then starts his monologue talking to the photograph. ‘Magdalene’ from the Silent Hill 2 soundtrack begins to play.)

“I mean, I’ll never forget that day you saved me and Spitfire’s life back in Cloudsville. If you weren't there, we’d both be dead. I was proud of you for winning The Best Flyer Competition. That Sonic Rainboom was the best thing I personally had seen in all my life. Ever since then, I've been hoping and praying to Celestia to see you again. You never escaped my memory. You’re just too beautiful for me to do so. Then came the Grand Galloping Gala. Oh my goddess, I’ll never forget how you looked at the Gala. That lush rainbow mare, the beautiful dress you were wearing, the way you talked to other ponies. Of course, when you saw me the first time, I must not have recognized you. What did I do? I just walked off to eat my apple pie. Even to this day, I feel guilty. I should’ve given you a proper thank you. But instead, I was so concerned with my greed for the pie, I just walked off and ate it without any second thoughts. Then, I saw you alone trying to talk to other Wonderbolt members. I would've talked to you that night. But I was nervous. But you’d understand if I told you. You’d try and avoid the pony you loved if you didn’t know what to say to them. But that’s not the worst part. The worst part was that, I did get courage. I was going to tell you how I felt about you. But then, the Gala turned to madness and chaos. I went to look for you, to save your life if you were in danger, to tell you how I feel. But you must’ve left with your friends because I couldn't find you amongst the crowd…..”

(A few tears start to appear in Soarin’s eyes. He begins to wipe them away before continuing.)

“…… I never even got to say goodbye to you. If I’d seen you leave, I would've went after you and said how much I loved you. But there wasn't a trace of you to be seen. When everyone left, it was just me, on my own. After that, I remember falling to my knees and crying at my own defeat. My eyes became waterfalls on the cold floor. And then Spitfire came along and took me home. My goddess, I’d give up anything just to see you again. But every time I scream at the night sky or pray upon a shooting star for that to happen, the wish never comes true. And yet, I’m still drawn to the possibility, the same way an astronomer continually looks to the sky in hopes of finding a meteor shower. But yet, deep down in my heart, I know I may never will.”

(Spitfire comes back into the room in her costume as Soarin sits back down on his bed.)

(Spitfire)

“Soarin I’m back. I’m ready to go when you are.”

(She then notices the stains of Soarin’s tears on his cheeks.)

“What’s the matter Soarin? You look like you've been crying?”

(Soarin tries to think of an excuse but then sighs in defeat.)

(Soarin)

“Remember at the Grand Galloping Gala, when you found me crying in the middle of the ball room?”

(Spitfire)

“Yeah.”

(Soarin)

“Well, I've been lying to you. I kept saying that I was crying because I was upset at how the Gala turned out. But I was really crying because somepony left my sight before I had the chance to tell her my feelings for her.”

(Spitfire)

“So, you were crying because you were love-sick?”

(Soarin)

“Pretty much. If you want to know who this mare is, here’s a picture.”

(He shows her Rainbow Dash’s picture.)

(Spitfire)

“So, you’re in love with Rainbow Dash? You know I've never seen you cry over losing a loved one. Well you may be delighted to know that I just received a phone call from somepony named Applejack who says she’d like us to see Rainbow Dash at her birthday party soon.”

(Soarin looks excited.)

(Soarin)

“Awesome! Now I’ll definitely have the chance to tell her how I feel about her now!”

(Spitfire)

“Good. Now let’s go. We need to get ready for the stunt show.”

(The two get up and leave the stage.)

(End of Scene 2.)

Act 1, Scene 4

(The lights turn on to reveal Hoity Toity sitting at a desk under a light in a modelling room. He appears to be in a lot of stress, writing something down. After a few seconds, an assistant walks in.)

(Assistant)

“Mr. Hoity Toity? Photo Finish is here to see you.”

(Hoity Toity perks up at hearing this name.)

(Hoity Toity)

“THE Photo Finish?”

(Assistant)

“Yes sir. Shall I send her in?”

(Hoity Toity)

“Yes please do.”

(The assistant walks out and comes back with Photo Finish.)

(Photo Finish)

“Ah, Hoity Toity. It’s been a long time since we has got together and discussed ideas for fashion.”

(Hoity Toity)

(To the assistant) “Thank you, that’ll be all for now.”

(The assistant walks out of the modelling room. Hoity Toity waits until he is gone before continuing.)

“Is there a problem Ms. Photo Finish?”

(Photo Finish walks the modelling room as she speaks.)

(Photo Finish)

“No. That’s not why I, Photo Finish, am here. You see, as I hope you know, Canterlot Fashion Week will be coming up soon and as a photographer, I saw some of your designs in the Canterlot Fashion Magazine and I thought I must see you in the flesh and blood. I thought that maybe, just maybe, you and I could work on a collaboration project together for the next few months.”

(She then takes her glasses off and places them on his desk. Hoity Toity is about to speak but Photo Finish interrupts him.)

“Think about it. Together, we can bring the art of the dress onto this tainted world we call Equestria and its culture.”

(Hoity Toity)

“That’s the thing Photo Finish. I’m busy working that day. I don’t think I’ll have enough time for our little project.”

(Photo Finish's mood and expression changes to defeated.)

(Photo Finish)

“Oh, in that case, I’m sorry I cost you a moment of your important time. Goodbye Mr. Hoity Toity.”

(Photo Finish walks out and Hoity Toity then looks towards his work. He then notices Photo Finish’s glasses and picks them up. He then sighs.)

(Hoity Toity)

"My fair Photo Finish. Even I seem to have failed to see your true beauty. The way your bleach white mane curtains your soft face so perfectly, it makes even the bravest colts fearful to go near you after dark. Your beautiful accent that I still have no clue of what it is. And I also love the way you experiment with different clothing styles. Photo Finish, it’s hard for me to say it but, I love you."

(He then picks up the glasses and starts talking into them.)

"Sure, we’ve had our fair-share of arguments and fights. But somehow, it’s like we’re meant to be bonded together like the forces of gravity. I’d do anything to make you mine. I’d break a ponies’ back for you. I’d saw off my own hooves for you. I’d scream out to Celestia and all the heavens for you. I’d do literally anything for you."

(He then places them back onto his desk.)

"Should the day come, I'd passionately run my graceful lips over yours and we'd battle tongues until we grow tired of it and both give in to our lustful desires. Then I'd push you back onto my bed, climb on top of you with our lips constantly at battle as we both rip each other free of our cloth prisons."

(Whilst speaking the latter line, Hoity Toity looks down at his clothes.)

"Then, I'd be using my hooves to caress your fragile body with you breathlessly tell me you love constantly, whilst I lay under the covers, running my tongue in and around your genitilia. You'd then let out a gasp for air or a moan of pleasure and I'd say 'Shh. Just let me do the hard work for you.' before I then slowly, so you'd enjoy it more, stick my 'disco stick' as you call it inside your-."

(Photo Finish comes back on stage and Hoity Toity jumps at this.)

(Photo Finish)

"Sorry Toity, but I believe I left my glasses here."

(She collects them and is about to leave when.....)

(Hoity Toity)

"Look um, Ms. Finish? I've thought about the fashion show and would be honoured to collaborate with you."

(Photo Finish smiles at this.)

(Photo Finish)

"I knew you'd understand my ideas. Thank you."

(She walks up and kisses Hoity Toity's cheek before leaving. Hoity Toity is shocked at this but then cracks a smile and giggles a little.)

(Hoity Toity)

"Ms. Photo Finish. At this rate, you will be mine."

(He then sits down at his desk and continues working.)

(End of scene 4.)

Act 1, Scene 5

(The stage is in total darkness aside from a light above a door in the Library. After a few seconds, Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash walk through.)

(Pinkie Pie)

"And so there was Mrs. Cake screaming 'Don't squeeze it too hard! You'll pull a muscle!' at Mr. Cake."

(Rainbow Dash laughs.)

(Rainbow Dash)

"That's a funny story Pinkie Pie, but why did you take me to The Library? Twilight and Spike would be asleep right now. Don't you think you're disturbing them?"

(Pinkie Pie)

"No. They've gone out somewhere. Besides, I brought you here for a suprise."

(Rainbow Dash)

"What's with all the darkness anyway? Where is that light switch?"

(She almost immediately finds it and upon flicking it, the lights turn on to reveal Applejack, Twilight Sparkle, Rarity, Fluttershy, Spike, Big Macintosh, Braeburn, The Cutie Mark Crusaders, Derpy Hooves, Zecora and Vinyl Scratch standing in the middle of The Library. Behind them are two giant presents.)

(Everypony)

"SUPRISE!"

(Rainbow Dash jumps at this whilst Pinkie Pie wears her trademark smile.)

(Pinkie Pie)

"So were you suprised Rainbow Dash? Huh? Huh?"

(Rainbow Dash)

"Suprised? Definately! Especially seeing all my friends here and-."

(She notices Gilda in the crowd, who looks rather guilty. Rainbow Dash's smile turns into a sour glare.)

(Pointing her out) "What's she doing here?"

(Everypony looks at Gilda and she walks forward to Rainbow Dash.)

(Gilda)

"Look, I just came back to Ponyville to apologize for my behaviour towards you and your friends. It was immature and selfish and I hope you can forgive me for it."

(Rainbow Dash)

"I'm sorry Gilda, actually I'm not sorry, but I don't see why I should-."

(Gilda)

(Interrupting her) "Please! All your other friends apologized! Please Rainbow Dash. That rude and bitter self was the old me. If you don't accept my apology now, you're refusing to apologize to the new kinder, light-hearted Gilda."

(Rainbow Dash thinks about this before deciding to accept it. Instead of speaking, she simply wraps her forearms around Gilda and pulls her into a hug. Gilda is shocked for a few seconds but eventually wraps her forearms around Rainbow Dash's back, returning the hug.)

(Pinkie Pie)

"Aww!"

(Braeburn)

"Well, ain't that just adorable?"

(Big Macintosh)

"Eeyup."

(Fluttershy)

"I'm just so happy that the two managed to sort out their differences and be friends with each other for who they are."

(Applejack)

"Now that tha' lil' problem's outta the way, we've somethin' to show ya, Rainbow Dash."

(Rainbow Dash perks up upon hearing her name. Gilda releases her from the hug and she walks toward Applejack.)

(Rainbow Dash)

"What is it?"

(Applejack)

"These."

(Applejack shows the two large presents to Rainbow Dash. The wrapping paper moves a little before ripping apart to reveal Spitfire and Soarin. Rainbow Dash just stands there speechless. Everypony just looks at her, waiting for a reaction. A concerned Scootaloo walks over to Rainbow Dash, waving her hoof in front of her face.)

(Scootaloo)

"Hello? Rainbow Dash?"

(Rainbow Dash)

(Starstruck) "Am I dreaming? Is that-?"

(Rarity)

"Yes Rainbow Dash. That's really the Wonderbolts."

(Rainbow Dash's face slowly turns into a smile before she screams in excitement, seeing her heroes standing before her, startling everypony in the room.)

(Rainbow Dash)

"Ohmygoshohmygoshohmygosh! Who told them to come here?! I simply must know!"

(Applejack)

"If ya really wanna know, I did. I called 'em up an' told 'em to-."

(Applejack is interrupted when Rainbow Dash pulls her into a tight hug.)

(Rainbow Dash)

"Thank you Applejack! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!"

(Applejack)

"Well, you're welcome sugarcube, but can ya please let me go? You're crushin' me!"

(Rainbow Dash lets Applejack go as Pinkie Pie walks up.)

(Pinkie Pie)

"Let's get this party started in here!"

(Everypony cheers at this. The lights go down for a scene change. When the lights come back on, everypony is talking amongst themselves, presumably later on in the party. Vinyl Scratch can be seen playing music. Rainbow Dash is talking to Applejack whilst Soarin is talking to Spitfire. The two constantly look back at each other as they speak to their partners but look away immediately afterwards. Spike walks up to Zecora.)

(Spike)

"Zecora, have you noticed something, unusual about Rainbow Dash since we revealed the Wonderbolts to her?"

(Zecora)

"It seems the Wonderbolts have made Rainbow Dash's happiness soar to Heaven above, besides I heard a rumour that her and Soarin are in love."

(Gilda walks up.)

(Gilda)

"Really? Rainbow Dash isn't into colts. Nor romance in general. I've known her since she was a filly."

(Zecora)

"Well, don't let your beliefs blind you, young griffin, for future events untold may cause fate to be re-written."

(Gilda)

"Whatever."

(She walks off. Pinkie Pie is talking to Derpy Hooves.)

(Pinkie Pie)

"Then I said to Iron Will 'Oh yeah? Well, if you don't like the timid Fluttershy, go and find another pony to train!' and then he just ran off and I never saw him again."

(Derpy)

"Hey Pinkie, does Soarin look funny to you?"

(Pinkie Pie)

"Yeah. But he's a Wonderbolt at a party with his biggest fan. Wouldn't you act funny if you were a suprise to your biggest fan?"

(Derpy)

"Yeah, but Soarin's acting all, nervous."

(Pinkie Pie)

"Yeah, I noticed Rainbow Dash acting the same. I guess she's just nervous at seeing Soarin."

(Derpy)

"Maybe."

(The lights dim and a spotlight shines on Applejack and Rainbow Dash.)

(Applejack)

"Just go up an' tell Soarin you love him."

(Rainbow Dash)

"I can't just go up to him and say it! You know how hard it is to say 'I love you' to a complete stranger?"

(Applejack)

"Well yeah, but it's best you try an' tell him before he walks outta ya life forever."

(Rainbow Dash)

"Well, how can I get him to notice me? I mean, look."

(She gestures into the darkness, presumably at Soarin and Spitfire talking.)

"He's talking to Spitfire. She probably have him if-."

(Applejack)

"Listen, just wait for the right moment then go in for the kill. I'll be talking to Twilight Sparkle if ya need me."

(Applejack walks off. The spotlight goes out and another shines on Soarin and Spitfire.)

(Soarin)

"Okay, so Rainbow Dash is just over there. What do I do?"

(Spitfire)

"If you really like her that much, go over and tell her."

(Soarin)

"I would, but I barely know her. I just fell for her beauty when I met her in Cloudsville."

(Spitfire sighs before speaking.)

(Spitfire)

"If it'll make things easier for you, I'll ask Vinyl Scratch to play a slow song later tonight. Then you can ask her to dance with you. That'll be the perfect mood to tell her you love her!"

(Soarin)

"Alright, you tell Vinyl Scratch the time you want to play the song, I'll go and try to chat her up."

(Spitfire)

"Go get 'em Tiger!"

(The spotlight turns off as the rest of the lights come back on. Spitfire walks off to talk to Vinyl Scratch whilst Soarin walks over to Rainbow Dash who jumps at his sudden arrival.)

(Rainbow Dash)

"Sweet Celestia Soarin! Please don't sneak up on me like that!"

(Soarin)

"Sorry Rainbow Dash. Are you enjoying the party?"

(Rainbow Dash)

"Yeah. Things are much better now I'm talking to you."

(Soarin grabs a near-by drink.)

(Soarin)

"You know, Applejack told me a lot about you."

(Soarin begins drinking.)

(Rainbow Dash)

"Yeah. At one point, I heard a rumour you loved me."

(Soarin, shocked at this, accidently spits his drink into Gilda's face, who was walking by.)

(Soarin)

"Oh sorry Gilda!"

(Gilda wipes a claw over her damp face and walks off without a word. Soarin then awkwardly turns to face Rainbow Dash.)

"Love? I had one shot at love with Spitfire years ago. After loads of rumours and stuff, we decided to stay friends. Besides, love can be bad for a pony and his or her life business."

(Rainbow Dash)

"Speaking of which, your schedule must've been busy."

(Soarin)

"Yeah, but I thought me and Spitfire would take some time off to see you."

(Rainbow Dash)

"Oh! Is there any reason to or-?"

(Soarin)

"Well, I dunno 'bout Spitfire but I just want you to be happy on your birthday."

(Rainbow Dash)

"Aww Soarin, that's so sweet!"

(Rainbow Dash then grasps his face in her hooves and kisses him. Soarin's eyes shoot open in shock. Almost immediately, everypony's attention turns on them.)

(Applejack)

(Quietly) "There you go. He's sure to fall for ya now."

(Spitfire)

(Quietly) "Yes Soarin. You got this in the bag."

(Upon realizing the amount of attention she's getting, Rainbow Dash breaks the kiss and looks at Soarin who's still shocked at the sudden kiss.)

(Rainbow Dash)

"Oh! I'm so sorry Soarin! I just lost control of myself and......"

(Rainbow Dash looks around then runs out the Library.)

(Twilight Sparkle)

"Rainbow Dash wait!"

(Applejack)

"Oh this ain't gonna end well."

(Gilda)

"Come on guys! We need to go get Rainbow Dash!"

(Everypony runs out the library, leaving only Soarin and Spitfire left. Spitfire walks up to Soarin.)

(Spitfire)

"Um Soarin?"

(Soarin)

"Oh, my, goddess, Rainbow Dash, has to be the best kisser I've ever met! I need to go and tell her!"

(Soarin's about to run out after everypony but Spitfire stops him.)

(Spitfire)

"Wait a minute Soarin! She's really embarassed at the moment. Maybe we should head home and come back later."

(Soarin and Spitfire walk out the door, closing it behind them.)

(End of Scene 5)

(End of Act 1)

Act 2, Scene 1

(The lights turn on to reveal Whitetail Wood under the clear blue moonlight. Rainbow Dash then runs through two pairs of trees until she is in the center of the stage.)

(Rainbow Dash)

"Are they gone?"

(She looks back.)

"Good, they are."

(She goes over and sits down on a nearby log and after a few minutes of silence, she softly begins sobbing as an instrumental version of 'Hello' by Evanescence begins to play.)

"Why did have to be like this? Why did he have to look at me like that? I'm in serious trouble with him, I can tell! He'll go up to me and say something like 'Rainbow Dash, you had no reason to kiss me like that.' and then goddess knows what he and Spitfire will do! They might ban me from seeing them again. Soarin may never speak to me again! I just don't know and I don't want to!"

(Rainbow Dash slams her hoof on the log she sits on before continuing.)

"But then Soarin's the one colt I love. I'd rather be dead than live a life without him. But how can I go on knowing Soarin probably hates me now? No. I can't do it. I'd rather be dead!"

(She sighs.)

"I guess, I'll just go throw myself off Ghastly Gorge and kill myself rather than live my life alone."

(Rainbow Dash is about to walk off stage when Princess Luna appears.)

(Princess Luna)

"Rainbow Dash. What's this I hear about you contemplating suicide? Is something the matter?"

(Rainbow Dash)

"No Princess Luna, everything's fine."

(Princess Luna)

"Thou art lying."

(Rainbow Dash)

"No I'm not! I'm fine!"

(Princess Luna)

"Then why do I see tear stains on thou cheeks?"

(Rainbow Dash desperately tries to wipe them off her face.)

"You're torturing yourself, young mare. Keep all your concerns inside and you'll only make your pain worse. Believe me, I experienced it when I was your age. Before dear sister Celestia banished me to the moon."

(When mentioning the moon, Luna looks up at it. Rainbow Dash stops wiping her tear stains away and sighs in defeat.)

(Rainbow Dash)

"Fine. If you want to know what happened, Pinkie Pie threw me a surprise party for my birthday and the Wonderbolts were there. And I'm a huge fan myself, I have a whole room with posters of them and stuff. Anyway, so Soarin was talking to me and he mentioned that he wanted me to be happy. Next thing I knew, I was kissing him! But that's not the worse part. I pulled away and he looked shocked. I can't bear to take the punishment if I go back. I just can't!"

(Rainbow Dash starts crying and Luna walks up before placing her in a hug, Rainbow Dash crying into her mane.)

(Princess Luna)

"I understand thou guilt young mare. I remember my first kiss with a colt and I felt the same amount of guilt thou does now. I contemplated suicide as well until Celestia told me to go for it. And if I was you, I'd do the same."

(Rainbow Dash looks up at Luna)

(Rainbow Dash)

"You mean that Princess?"

(Princess Luna just nods.)

(Princess Luna)

"If I'd be honest, I always thought you and Soarin would make a perfect couple. I believed that ever since I saw you save his pie at the Grand Galloping Gala. The best thing thou can do at the moment is to seek out Soarin, tell him how you feel and build the foundations of your relationship from there."

(Rainbow Dash breaks away from Princess Luna before speaking.)

(Rainbow Dash)

"You're right Princess Luna! I will! Thank you so much your majesty!"

(Princess Luna)

"Well, I'm not technically the ultimate ruler of Equestria but-."

(Luna realises Rainbow Dash has left.)

"Well, if she follows my advice, she and Soarin will be all over each other, that's for sure."

(Luna leaves the stage.)

(End of Scene 1.)

Act 2, Scene 3

(The lights shine on Twilight Sparkle back at the library. She's looking at a map of Equestria, wondering where Rainbow Dash could be. After a few minutes, Spike walks in.)

(Twilight Sparkle)

"Spike! Did you find any trace of Rainbow Dash?"

(Spike)

"Nope. I've looked all over Ponyville. No sign of her anywhere."

(Twilight Sparkle)

"Oh! I'm starting to get worried about her. Think about it, she's somewhere out in Equestria possibly cold and upset."

(Spike)

"I can only imagine."

(Shining Armour walks onto the stage.)

(Shining Armour)

"Twilight! I heard about what happened to Rainbow Dash."

(Twilight Sparkle)

"What are you doing in Ponyville? Don't you have duties back at Celestia's castle?"

(Shining Armour)

"Did have duties. But Princess Celestia sent me down here because of possible obsessed fan attacks towards the Wonderbolts."

(Spike)

"Is there anything you can do at the moment?"

(Shining Armour)

"Well, I could uhh, get every guard in Equestria to keep an eye out for her."

(Twilight Sparkle)

"Good! Do that!"

(Just then, Rainbow Dash walks in.)

"Oh, nevermind Shining Armour. She just walked in."

(To Rainbow Dash)

"Where have you been? We've been worried sick about you! Do you realise how dangerous it gets out there after dark?"

(Rainbow Dash)

"Yeah yeah yeah! I know. Geez, you're sounding just like my mother."

(Spike perks up at Rainbow Dash's sudden outburst.)

(Spike)

"Is something the matter Rainbow Dash?"

(Rainbow Dash)

"Princess Luna talked to me and told me to tell Soarin how I feel. However, we all know she was Nightmare Moon for a short time and I've been finding it very hard to trust her ever since then. I just don't know if I should go for it or not."

(Shining Armour)

"Wait. Did you just mention Soarin?"

(Rainbow Dash)

"Yes Armour, I did."

(Shining Armour)

"And you have feelings for him? Is that correct?"

(Rainbow Dash)

"Yes! It's true! And it just pains me to know I love somepony I shouldn't."

(Twilight Sparkle)

"Actually, I think you and Soarin make a good couple."

(Spike)

"Yeah, I think so too."

(Rainbow Dash smiles a little at this.)

(Rainbow Dash)

"Aww thanks guys. But I dunno if I should still go for it or not."

(Spike)

"Don't ask me for advice. I've been trying to get my fair mare Rarity's heart since I first laid eyes on her."

(Shining Armour)

"Rainbow Dash, if I was you, I'd go for it next time you see him."

(Twilight Sparkle)

"Yeah, I'd agree with Shining Armour. Should you next see him, tell him how you feel. Let nothing hold you back."

(Rainbow Dash stands up.)

(Rainbow Dash)

"You guys are right!"

(Rainbow Dash goes towards the door but Twilight Sparkle stops her.)

(Twilight Sparkle)

"Wait Rainbow Dash, where are you going?"

(Rainbow Dash)

"I'm gonna go back and find Soarin."

(Twilight Sparkle)

"Well, don't you think it's a tad bit late?"

(Rainbow Dash)

"Late shmate! Besides, I must get to Soarin before somepony else does!"

(Rainbow Dash exits.)

(Twilight Sparkle)

"Spike, come on. We're going after Rainbow Dash."

(Shining Armour)

"Wait Twily, I'm sure she'll be fine. After all, she's not a filly like years ago when me and you were."

(Twilight Sparkle)

"But what if she gets hurt? Or lost? Or-."

(Shining Armour places his hooves on her face.)

(Shining Armour)

"Just trust me Twilight. She'll be fine. I went through that phase when I was her age too and you'll go through it as well when you find that special colt."

(Twilight Sparkle)

"Okay."

(Shining Armour releases Twilight from his hooves.)

(Spike)

"So what do we do now?"

(Shining Armour)

"Well, if I were you guys, I'd get to bed and hope for the best for Rainbow Dash. It's almost 1 in the morning. Anyway, I've got to get back to Canterlot in a few minutes. Goodnight Twily."

(Twilight Sparkle)

"Goodnight my B.B.B.F.F."

(The two leave for bed as Shining Armour walks out the door. As soon as everypony is gone, the lights dim.)

(End of Scene 3)

(Just then, Rainbow Dash walks in.)

"Oh, nevermind Shining Armour. She just walked in."

(To Rainbow Dash)

"Where have you been? We've been worried sick about you! Do you realise how dangerous it gets out there after dark?"

(Rainbow Dash)

"Yeah yeah yeah! I know. Geez, you're sounding just like my mother."

(Spike perks up at Rainbow Dash's sudden outburst.)

(Spike)

"Is something the matter Rainbow Dash?"

(Rainbow Dash)

"Princess Luna talked to me and told me to tell Soarin how I feel. However, we all know she was Nightmare Moon for a short time and I've been finding it very hard to trust her ever since then. I just don't know if I should go for it or not."

(Shining Armour)

"Wait. Did you just mention Soarin?"

(Rainbow Dash)

"Yes Armour, I did."

(Shining Armour)

"And you have feelings for him? Is that correct?"

(Rainbow Dash)

"Yes! It's true! And it just pains me to know I love somepony I shouldn't."

(Twilight Sparkle)

"Actually, I think you and Soarin make a good couple."

(Spike)

"Yeah, I think so too."

(Rainbow Dash smiles a little at this.)

(Rainbow Dash)

"Aww thanks guys. But I dunno if I should still go for it or not."

(Spike)

"Don't ask me for advice. I've been trying to get my fair mare Rarity's heart since I first laid eyes on her."

(Shining Armour)

"Rainbow Dash, if I was you, I'd go for it next time you see him."

(Twilight Sparkle)

"Yeah, I'd agree with Shining Armour. Should you next see him, tell him how you feel. Let nothing hold you back."

(Rainbow Dash stands up.)

(Rainbow Dash)

"You guys are right!"

(Rainbow Dash goes towards the door but Twilight Sparkle stops her.)

(Twilight Sparkle)

"Wait Rainbow Dash, where are you going?"

(Rainbow Dash)

"I'm gonna go back and find Soarin."

(Twilight Sparkle)

"Well, don't you think it's a tad bit late?"

(Rainbow Dash)

"Late shmate! Besides, I must get to Soarin before somepony else does!"

(Rainbow Dash exits.)

(Twilight Sparkle)

"Spike, come on. We're going after Rainbow Dash."

(Shining Armour)

"Wait Twily, I'm sure she'll be fine. After all, she's not a filly like years ago when me and you were."

(Twilight Sparkle)

"But what if she gets hurt? Or lost? Or-."

(Shining Armour places his hooves on her face.)

(Shining Armour)

"Just trust me Twilight. She'll be fine. I went through that phase when I was her age too and you'll go through it as well when you find that special colt."

(Twilight Sparkle)

"Okay."

(Shining Armour releases Twilight from his hooves.)

(Spike)

"So what do we do now?"

(Shining Armour)

"Well, if I were you guys, I'd get to bed and hope for the best for Rainbow Dash. It's almost 1 in the morning. Anyway, I've got to get back to Canterlot. Goodnight Twily."

(Twilight Sparkle)

"Goodnight my B.B.B.F.F."

(The two leave for bed as Shining Armour walks out the door. As soon as everypony is gone, the lights dim.)

(End of Scene 3)

Act 2, Scene 4

(The stage is dark. There is a white flash of light with a roll of thunder. The stage lights up to show Whitetail Wood, again under the blue moonlight but now with puddles on the ground and the sound of rain pouring. There is also raindrops rolling off the leaves and rain falling onto the stage. Rainbow Dash and Soarin both enter the stage. A spotlight shines on Rainbow Dash.)

(Rainbow Dash)

"Come on Dashie, just go up to him and say it! But say what? I can't just say 'I love you' to his face. He might think I'm an obsessed fan. Try to talk to him. Maybe that'll lower his nerves. But, how do you know he's nervous? Just use one of your pick-up lines you were taught in high school. But which one? I just don't know!"

(The spotlight goes out and another shines on Soarin.)

(Soarin)

"It's easy Soarin. Just go up and tell her. You've spend all your time preparing for this. You've got the looks, you've got the correct attitude, you just need to go and tell her. You spent not yesterday but the day before to practise chatting up mares. All you need to do now is just go up to Rainbow Dash and tell her how you feel about her."

(Just as the spotlight turns off, Soarin notices Rainbow Dash.)

"Hey! Rainbow Dash!"

(Rainbow Dash)

"Oh no! I'm not ready to talk to him!"

(She flies off, leaving Soarin alone. He runs to the centre of the stage, where the rain is intense.)

(Soarin)

"Rainbow Dash wait!"

(She doesn't return. After a while, Soarin falls to his knees as Day of Night begins to play.)

"No. No it can't be like this! Rainbow Dash can't leave me here! She can't! I love her! I'd never let her go! I'd never let her live her days alone!"

(He starts crying.)

"Rainbow Dash! I can't bear to live my life without you! Don't leave me in the Whitetail Woods alone! I'd spend an entire million years just to stay close with you. Is my message not clear to you? Am I speaking an entirely different language to yours? Je t'aime! Ik hou van je! Ich liebe dich! Rakastan sinua! Seni seviyorum! Bottom line Rainbow Dash: I LOVE YOU!"

(He then cries into his hooves. After a few seconds, a twig snapping is heard. He stops crying and looks towards where the sound came from. Rainbow Dash emerges, her mane and coat dirty with patchs of mud, leaves and twigs stuck to her. She is also soaking wet from the rain. Soarin slowly stands upon seeing her in her ruined state.)

(Rainbow Dash)

"I heard your outburst and every single word you said. And, I feel the same way about you."

(Soarin)

"Wait. So-?"

(Rainbow Dash)

"Yes Soarin. I love you too."

(Soarin slowly smiles and whimpers a bit in happiness before walking up to Rainbow Dash and kissing her in the middle of the stage. Rainbow Dash herself looks shocked. When he pulls away, Soarin sees his lover's shocked expression.)

(Soarin)

"Oh, I'm sorry Rainbow Dash! I-I-I-I just don't know what came over me. And-."

(He unfurls his wings ready to fly away. But just before he can escape-.)

(Rainbow Dash)

"Wait Soarin! Don't go. Please. I kinda like that. Truth be told, until tonight, I never kissed a colt before."

(Soarin)

"You haven't?"

(Rainbow Dash)

"No. I mean, sure. I've fancied some colts before but I never had the chance to kiss them and when I did, I couldn't work up the nerve. Besides, you're the one colt I wish to spend the rest of my life with. I was also wondering, if we can do that again?"

(Soarin)

"Ki-kiss again?"

(Rainbow Dash)

(Nodding) "Uh huh."

(Soarin smiles.)

(Soarin)

"Well, if that's what you desire, then it shall be forfilled!"

(Soarin then tackles Rainbow Dash to the ground, getting equally dirty as Rainbow Dash in the process, and passionately kisses her. Rainbow Dash, underneath Soarin, shuts her eyes and kisses him back. After a few seconds, the two break for air.)

"Te amo, Rainbow Dash."

(Rainbow Dash)

"Anchi’io te amo, Soarin"

(Soarin)

"You speak Italian as well?"

(Rainbow Dash)

"I learned a little bit in high school."

(Soarin climbs off Rainbow Dash.)

"I could teach you if you want sometime from now."

(Soarin)

"I'd be happy to do anything with you."

(Rainbow Dash)

"Soarin, will you, be my coltfriend?"

(Soarin)

"Anything for my mare. I love you so much, I cannot say no to that."

(Rainbow Dash then kisses Soarin. After a few seconds, lightning flashes and thunder rolls which makes them break once again.)

"We'll catch ourselves colds if we stay out here for too long."

(Rainbow Dash)

"I best get going coltfriend. I'll see you another time."

(Rainbow Dash is about to leave.)

(Soarin)

"Wait Rainbow Dash! How would you, as my marefriend, like to spend the night with me?"

(Rainbow Dash)

"You, you really mean that?"

(Soarin)

"Any thing for you."

(Rainbow Dash)

"I'd be happy too!"

(Soarin takes Rainbow Dash's hoof in his.)

(Soarin)

"Poi prendiamo attenzione, il mio amore."

(The two leave the stage, hoof in hoof.)

(End of Scene 4)

Act 2, Scene 5

(The lights turn on to show Soarin's empty bedroom. The door inside is closed. After a few seconds, the door opens and Soarin holds it open.)

(Soarin)

"Go right on in Marefriend."

(Rainbow Dash)

"Thanks Soarin. You're such a gentlecolt."

(Rainbow Dash walks through the door and looks around Soarin's room whilst Soarin walks in.)

"So this is your room? It's rather nice. Where's everypony else?"

(Soarin)

"Everypony's asleep but us."

(Rainbow Dash looks back at Soarin.)

(Rainbow Dash)

"Everypony?"

(Soarin nods.)

"Wow. Do you go to sleep at the same time everypony else does?"

(Soarin)

"It's advised but not enforced. I usually stay up until about half past 1, 2 o'clock, sometimes even 15 minutes past 3!"

(Rainbow Dash chuckles a little.)

(Rainbow Dash)

"You're such a bad colt Soarin!"

(Soarin)

"Yeah, you can say that again."

(He pauses whilst Rainbow Dash looks around. After some time, Soarin speaks.)

"Hey. You know what we should do?"

(Rainbow Dash)

"What?"

(Soarin)

"I love you with all my heart, right?"

(Rainbow Dash)

"Yeah."

(Soarin)

"And you love me with all your heart, right?"

(Rainbow Dash)

"Of course I do."

(Soarin)

"Then, we should get married. Imagine it my love. You and me, declared husband and wife under Celestia's ever loving eyes. We go on our honeymoon and come back to Ponyville. We have ourselves a filly, whether we actually 'make' one so to speak or adopt one, it's too soon to tell, but after that, we spend the rest of our lives together. You, me, our filly, your friends and the Wonderbolts. All together as a loving family. Always there for each other when we need them."

(Rainbow Dash cries a little in happiness.)

(Rainbow Dash)

"Soarin......."

(She sniffs a little before continuing.)

"That's the most beautiful thing you've ever said to me, and we've only spent an hour being coltfriend and marefriend. But I'm sorry Soarin. I think it's too soon to be planning things like that."

(Soarin)

"What do you mean?"

(Rainbow Dash)

"I mean, that if we jump straight to marriage without taking some time to plan out our future together, one simple flaw can send our relationship tumbling to the ground. I'm sorry Soarin, but we need some time before we do so."

(Soarin)

"Well, now that you put it that way, you're right. I'm so sorry for mentioning marriage to you so soon. I mean, I just don't know what in Celestia's name I was thinking when I said-."

(Soarin is interrupted when Rainbow Dash places her forehooves on his and brings her face close to his.)

(Rainbow Dash)

(In a low seductive voice) "It's okay. I'd make the same mistake too."

(She then locks her lips with Soarin's. The two slowly slide their tongues into each other's mouths. Both of their wings slowly become erect. Rainbow Dash begins to stroke Soarin's wings as she softly nibbles on his ear, earning a small gasp of pleasure. After a few minutes, Rainbow Dash stops kissing Soarin.)

(Rainbow Dash)

"Goddess, I love you."

(Soarin)

"Tell me something I don't know, love."

(Soarin then proceeds to kiss Rainbow Dash's neck. She's starts to quietly start panting. After a while, she lets a moan of pleasure escape her lips. As soon as that moan escapes, Soarin places his lips onto hers and french kisses her. He then proceeds to gently stroke Rainbow Dash's wings. Her eyes, which were closed the whole time, suddenly open up and in a startle reflex, she closes her mouth, accidently biting Soarin's tongue.)

"ARGH!"

(Upon hearing the scream, Rainbow Dash releases Soarin. He falls to his knees, clasping his tongue in his hooves. Both of their wings fall limp upon this moment.)

"Sweet Celestia, that hurt!"

(Rainbow Dash)

"Oh my Goddess Soarin! I'm so sorry! I should've warned you I get startled easily when somepony strokes my wings."

(Soarin slowly stands up, stilling holding his tongue.)

(Soarin)

"It's okay. I'd be scared too if somepony decided to give my wings a stroke suddenly. I will say though, you're the first mare that's ever touched my wings."

(Rainbow Dash)

"I can say the same thing about you. You're the first colt to touch my wings."

(Soarin then places his hooves around the back of Rainbow Dash's neck whilst Rainbow Dash does the same with him.)

(Soarin)

"Hey, I'm your present for life. Do whatever you want to me. I won't protest."

(Rainbow Dash)

"Anything?"

(Soarin nods. Rainbow Dash thinks about it before looking at his bed. She then grows a dirty smile on her face before turning back to Soarin.)

"In that case, get on the bed."

(Soarin)

"I'm sorry, what?"

(Rainbow Dash)

"That right there is your bed, right?"

(She points a hoof at it when she mentions it.)

(Soarin)

"Well, yes."

(Rainbow Dash)

"Then get on it."

(Soarin)

"Okay."

(Soarin goes around the bed before climbing onto it. Rainbow Dash then walks alongside it.)

(Rainbow Dash)

"Looks rather comfortable from here."

(Soarin)

"Yeah, it is."

(Rainbow Dash)

"Mind if I join you?"

(Before Soarin can answer, Rainbow Dash climbs onto the bed and lies down next to Soarin on her side, facing him.)

(Soarin)

"Well, we're both on my bed. What do you want to do now?"

(Rainbow Dash)

(Again, in a slow seductive voice) "What all colts and mares do in bed."

(Soarin)

"What's that? The only thing colts and mares do in beds are sleep and-."

(He thinks about it before realising.)

"Wait, you want to sleep with me?"

(Rainbow Dash)

"More than anything."

(Soarin nervously chuckles.)

(Soarin)

"I've not had the proper experience with having sex with mares before. Are you being serious?"

(Rainbow Dash then hoists her body over Soarin's, placing her in the cowgirl position.)

(Rainbow Dash)

"Does it look like I'm serious now?"

(Soarin)

"Okay, well I'm really eager to lose my virginity to a beautiful mare like yourself. So let me have it!"

(Rainbow Dash plunges down and french kisses Soarin. Both their wings slowly grow erect during this moment. Rainbow Dash then stops kissing Soarin and removes his mask before proceeding to take off his costume. She stops when Soarin's costume is around his waist.)

(Rainbow Dash)

"You know Soarin, this is the first time I've seen you without your costume."

(Soarin)

"Ya know, not a lot of ponies say that to me. I believe you're the first, excluding Celestia and the other Wonderbolts of course."

(Rainbow Dash then notices Soarin's wings now completely erect.)

(Rainbow Dash)

"Have you just taken some viagra for your wings or do you really want me to runt you?"

(Soarin looks at his wings.)

(Soarin)

"I guess I'm just excited. I can say the same thing about you. But wait, what if other ponies find out about our little one-night stand?"

(Rainbow Dash)

"Sorry Soarin, I've got us both excited in more ways than one and there's no way I'm gonna pull out now."

(Soarin)

"Ahh, you're right. I'm your toy and yours alone. You can 'play' with me as much as you want."

(Rainbow Dash)

"Good."

(She then proceeds to continuing kissing Soarin. Whilst doing so, she uses one hoof to close the curtain around the bed whilst she finishes removing Soarin's costume with the other. By the time Soarin's costume is around his hindlegs, the curtain has been fully pulled. The lights then fade out. Once the stage is completely dark-.)

(Rainbow Dash)

"Sweet Celestia Soarin! You're pretty big for a Wonderbolt!"

(Soarin)

"I guess the biggest offer the most fun for mares."

(End of Scene 5.)

Act 2, Scene 6

(During the scene change, Rainbow Dash & Soarin can be heard moaning and gasping as they have sex off-stage. Through the gasps and moans, a few words can be made out.)

(Rainbow Dash)

"Please, don't stop! / Give it to me Soarin! Give it to me! / I love you so much! / Right there, right there! / Oh, that feels so good!"

(Soarin)

"Yeah! Ride it cowpony! / Yes, Dashie! / You're the best. / Dashie, you taste so good. / You like that? Yeah you like that don't you? / You want me like that?"

(The moans and gasps intensify and get louder, presumably the two about to reach their climax, just as the scene finishes changing.)

(Rainbow Dash)

"Don't stop Soarin, I'm getting close!"

(Soarin)

"Don't give up on me Dashie! I'm almost there!"

(Rainbow Dash)

"Quickly, say my name before it comes."

(Soarin)

"You sure?"

(Rainbow Dash)

"Yeah."

(A few moans and grunts are heard before Soarin and Rainbow Dash scream each other's names:)

(Soarin)

"RAINBOW DASH!"

(Rainbow Dash)

"SOARIN!"

(The two finally scream loudly as they reach their climax. The screaming then stops abruptly and is replaced by the sound of Pinkie Pie crying. The light blue lights slowly shine on the stage, revealing Pinkie Pie in her room with the door closed. She's wondering around with her forehooves over her eyes. A few tracks of tears can be seen underneath them. It's night outside and the moon is low in the sky. After a few minutes, Mr. & Mrs. Cake slowly and quietly walk on stage.)

(Mr. Cake)

"Dear, I think Pinkie Pie's sleep walking again."

(Mrs. Cake)

"Well I can see that. The real question is why?"

(Pinkie Pie)

(Sounding drowsy) "I don't.... I don't want to."

(Mr. Cake)

"Pinkie Pie? You okay?"

(Pinkie Pie)

"I can't bear to face the consequences."

(Mrs. Cake)

"Can't bear to face the consequences of what?"

(Pinkie Pie)

"Killing Soarin."

(Mrs. Cake)

"Something's wrong."

(Mr. Cake)

"Well, what do we do?"

(Mrs. Cake)

"I don't know. Maybe we should just wake her up."

(Mr. Cake)

"Okay, I'll go and talk to her."

(Mr. Cake slowly walks up to Pinkie Pie.)

(Pinkie Pie)

"You can't make me kill him!"

(Mr. Cake)

"Pinkie Pie, you don't need to kill anypony. You're just a having a nightmare."

(Pinkie Pie)

"This isn't a nightmare! Somepony's gonna get hurt!"

(Mr. Cake)

"You've got nothing to worry about, Pinkie Pie. You just need to wake up."

(Pinkie Pie)

"I can't.... do it."

(Mrs. Cake)

"Oh for Celestia's sake, just wake up Pinkie!"

(Pinkie Pie)

"I won't kill Soarin! You can't make me!"

(Mrs. Cake)

"Pinkie Pie, hello?"

(She waves a hoof in front of her face, but she doesn't respond.)

"Pinkie Pie come on, this is getting ridiculous! It's almost 3 in the morning!"

(Mr. Cake then sighs.)

(Mr. Cake)

"Look dear, it's not gonna work. I think we should just let her run her course and hope for the best."

(Mr & Mrs. Cake walk out. The instant the door closes, Pinkie Pie wakes up.)

(Pinkie Pie)

"What? What just happened? I best get back to bed."

(She passes a mirror where Pinkamina, her dark alter-ego, watches her. She pauses and looks back at the mirror, seeing Pinkamina.)

"Well hello stranger. What's your name?"

(Pinkamina)

(With slightly lower in pitch than Pinkie's voice and an echo, making her sound demonic.) "I'm you."

(Pinkie Pie)

"I don't get it."

(Pinkamina)

"Remember that day you thought your friends wanted to stop being your friends?"

(Pinkie Pie thinks about it, then looks at a bucket of turnips, a pile of rocks, a clump of lint and a bag of flour before realizing.)

(Pinkie Pie)

"Wait, Rocky? Madame Le Flour? Sir Lintsalot? Mr. Turnip?"

(She looks scared, turning back to the mirror.)

"They're not real. But you used my own insanity to make them real."

(Pinkamina)

"WE made them real."

(Pinkie Pie)

"We?"

(Pinkamina)

"Don't tell me you've forgotten! Remember? You almost spent the rest of your birthday as a recluse."

(Pinkie Pie)

"You made me a recluse!"

(Pinkie Pie walks away from the mirror, walks over to the door and stands by it as 'Sinister Setting' begins to play.)

(Pinkamina)

"Yes I did. And I can show you how you can get closer to Soarin."

(Pinkie Pie)

"What do you mean?"

(Pinkamina)

"I know you're obsessed with him."

(Pinkie Pie)

"I'm not obsessed!"

(Pinkamina)

"It's obvious you are. Does 'As much as I love Soarin.' ring a bell? You're just jealous that Soarin isn't your coltfriend."

(Pinkie Pie)

"I'm not jealous! I wouldn't dream of having Soarin as a coltfriend!"

(Pinkamina)

"Yes, but I know you wish to get close to him."

(Pinkie Pie turns to face the mirror.)

(Pinkie Pie)

"That's..... true."

(Pinkamina)

"Well, it's easy. Just take Rainbow Dash out the picture. If you want Soarin all to yourself, just get Rainbow Dash out the way. Think about it Pinkie Pie."

(Pinkamina disappears after saying the line, leaving Pinkie Pie alone. She walks up to the mirror and looks into it as she delivers her few next lines.)

(Pinkie Pie)

"Well, I do want to get close to Soarin. But what about Dashie? She kissed Soarin at the party. SHE could be his marefriend now. And what right do I have to split them up? Besides, Rainbow Dash would get jealous if I just took Soarin away from her. I need to sleep on it. I'll think about it tomorrow."

(Pinkie Pie walks back over to her bed, curls up under the covers and falls asleep.)

(End of Scene 6.)

(End of Act 2.)

Act 3, Scene 2

(The lights shine up on Twilight Sparkle, Spike, Fluttershy, Rarity & Applejack cheering at something, presumably Rainbow Dash & Soarin, who are missing from the group.)

(Applejack)

"Yeah! You're doin' good Rainbow Dash!"

(Spike)

"You rock Rainbow Dash!"

(Fluttershy)

"Go Rainbow Dash!"

(Twilight Sparkle)

"Um, guys? Have you noticed that Pinkie Pie's been acting weird lately?"

(Rarity)

"What do you mean weird Twilight?"

(Twilight Sparkle)

"I mean, I talked to Mr. & Mrs. Cake before Rainbow Dash got here and they mentioned something about Pinkie Pie sleepwalking. According to them, she mentioned something about killing Soarin."

(Applejack)

"Don't be silly Twilight. Sure, Pinkie Pie may be random, but she wouldn't have the guts to kill somepony."

(Twilight Sparkle)

"Well, not only that. Spike mentioned to me that Pinkie Pie was muttering to herself in the window whilst Soarin & Rainbow Dash were kissing."

(Fluttershy)

"Again, maybe it's just-."

(Rainbow Dash & Soarin land in front of them.)

(Rainbow Dash)

"Did you see those stunts me and Soarin performed?"

(Applejack)

"They were just awesome!"

(Fluttershy)

"Yeah."

(Spitfire then walks on stage.)

(Spitfire)

"I've seen your stunt work also, Rainbow Dash. In fact, I'm actually thinking of letting you perform at our next stunt show."

(Rainbow Dash)

(Excited) "You really mean that?"

(Spitfire)

"Absolutely."

(Rainbow Dash runs up and hugs Spitfire tightly.)

(Rainbow Dash)

"Oh thank you! Thank you! Thank you Spitfire! I would be honored to perform with you and Soarin!"

(Rainbow Dash then lets Spitfire go.)

(Spitfire)

"You're very welcome Rainbow Dash. Or what does Soarin call you? Dashie?"

(Rainbow Dash blushes.)

(Rainbow Dash)

"Well, yes. Pinkie Pie used to be the one who'd call me that, but ever since me and Soarin got together, I've let him call me that for as long as I can remember."

(Applejack)

"Look at ya Rainbow Dash! First you save the Wonderbolts' lives, then you win the Young Flyers Competition, now you're performing with your coltfriend at the next stunt show, which funny enough, is right here in this coliseum!"

(Spitfire)

"I knew all along you and Soarin would make a beautiful couple. If not, a much better couple than me and Soarin were years ago before he met you. And Dashie, I've heard your quite a screamer in the bedroom, if you know what I mean."

(Rainbow Dash)

"What? Other ponies told you that?"

(Spitfire)

"No. I heard all those screams, moans, gasps and exclamations you made the night you and Soarin first made love."

(Soarin)

"Spitfire! You're embarrassing her."

(Rainbow Dash)

"No she isn't Soarin. Let's be honest, I agree that I WAS loud during that time."

(Twilight Sparkle)

"Speaking of which, what was it like? I forgot to ask you."

(Rainbow Dash)

"It hurts at first, but then the pain goes and it starts to feel enjoyable. By the way Spitfire, how long were you Soarin's marefriend?"

(Spitfire)

"About 2 months, but then the press began to interfere with our career so we decided just to remain friends."

(Rainbow Dash)

"Oh, well that seems like a good reason to loosen the knot."

(Spitfire)

"Well yeah. And to be honest, it was fun whilst it lasted, right Soarin?"

(Soarin)

"Yeah. You can say that again."

(Rainbow Dash)

"But really, I'm so thankful to be here in the Ponyville Coliseum with all my friends and Soarin, the love of my life and-."

(She suddenly gasps, catching every one off guard.)

(Soarin)

"Dashie? What's the matter?"

(Rainbow Dash)

"Shoot! I just remembered I gotta get to Pinkie's."

(Spitfire)

"Okay, we'll talk about the stunt show when you get back. Come back here when you're done, okay?"

(Rainbow Dash)

"Okay."

(Rainbow Dash is about to leave but Soarin stops her.)

(Soarin)

"Oh Dashie? Whatever you do, be careful."

(Rainbow Dash)

"I'll always be careful when I'm with you Soarin."

(She leans towards him and kisses him on the lips, parting a second later.)

"See you in a minute sweetheart."

(Rainbow Dash then unfurls her wings before flying off.)

(End of Scene 2)

Act 3, Scene 3

(The lights turn on to show Pinkie Pie in Sugarcube Corner. She looks nervous about something. She goes over to a near-by mirror and looks into her reflection as she speaks)

(Pinkie Pie)

“You can do this Pinkie Pie. Pinkamina told you to do so. But Rainbow Dash is my friend.”

(Suddenly, the reflection contorts to form Pinkamina.)

(Pinkamina)

“Ignore that fact! You’ve got a job to do. Now listen to me, whilst you were contemplating what you’re doing, I slipped some tranquilisers in this cupcake.”

(She hands her the cupcake. It’s small and chocolate with white frosting and blood-red sprinkles. All whilst wrapped up with a black and red paper cup.)

“All you need to do is give this to her when she least expects it. You can make up any other excuse for her to stay.”

(Pinkie Pie)

“Alright, I’ll go through with it.”

(She turns towards the door as she hears hooves landing on the ground.)

(Pinkamina)

“Stand in the middle of the room and act normal! I think I just heard Rainbow Dash! I'll be watching you Pinkie Pie.”

(Pinkie Pie hops away from the mirror and stands ready as Pinkamina disappears from the mirror. Rainbow Dash walks into the store. she is immediately greeted by Pinkie Pie, who is bouncing in excitement.)

(Pinkie Pie)

“Yay, you’re here! I’ve been waiting aaall day,”

(Rainbow Dash)

“Sorry if I’m a little late, Pinkie. I was doing my afternoon exercises and lost track of time.”

(Pinkie giggles)

(Pinkie Pie)

(In a gleefully reassuring tone) “Oh that’s ok, you’re here now. What’s a few more minutes? I’ve been sooo excited thinking about all fun stuff we’re gonna do, I haven’t stopped bouncing since I woke up. I mean, I almost forgot to breathe I’ve been so happy.”

(Rainbow Dash gives a slightly uncomfortable laugh but maintains a polite expression.)

“So, you ready to get started, Rainbow Dash? I’ve got everything all ready."

(Rainbow Dash)

(Psyched) “You betcha, Pinkie. So what do ya got planed? We gonna prank somebody? I got a couple of good ones I’ve been thinking about. Or maybe you’ve got some stunts you think I should try? Or perhaps…”

(Pinkie Pie)

(Happily) “MAKING CUPCAKES!”

(Rainbow Dash’s expression falls.)

(Rainbow Dash)

(Disappointed) “Baking? Pinkie, you know I’m not good at baking. Remember last time?”

(Pinkie Pie)

“Oh, that’s not a problem at all. I only need your help making them. I’ll be doing most of the work.”

(Rainbow Dash thinks for about this for a second.)

(Rainbow Dash)

“Well, alright, I guess that’s OK. What exactly do you need me to do?”

(Pinkie Pie)

“That’s the spirit. Here you go.”

(Pinkie Pie hands Rainbow Dash the cupcake Pinkamina gave to her.)

(Rainbow Dash)

(Puzzled) “I thought I was helping you bake.”

(Pinkie Pie)

“You will be. I made this one just for you before you got here."

(Rainbow Dash)

“So, is this like taste-testing or something?”

(Pinkie Pie)

“Sorta.”

(She shrugs and pops the pastry into her mouth. She chews a bit and swallows.)

(Rainbow Dash)

“Not bad. OK, now what?”

(Pinkie Pie)

“Now, you take a nap.”

(Puzzled, Rainbow Dash opens her mouth but feels instantly light-headed. Seconds later she collapses to the floor. Pinkie Pie now looks worried. As Silent Circus from the Silent Hill 4 The Room soundtrack plays, she then walks over to a mirror where her straight-haired self is waiting for her.)

(Pinkie Pie)

“There. She’s unconscious.”

(Pinkamina)

“Good. Now take her down to the cellar, tie her up so she can’t escape and then we can begin.”

(Pinkie Pie)

“Right.”

(She opens the trap door to the dark cellar. She moves to drag Rainbow Dash but then stops.)

“Wait, you never told me what we were gonna do with her once we tie her up.”

(Pinkamina)

“Well, you said you were going make cupcakes with Rainbow Dash.”

(Pinkie Pie)

“Yeah, but I, I don’t have the right ingredients!”

(Pinkamina)

“Oh don’t worry. You’ll find plenty of those IN Rainbow Dash.”

(She looks at Rainbow Dash before getting the idea. She turns back to her reflection with a shocked look on her face.)

(Pinkie Pie)

“No! NO! I’m not killing my best friend just so I can make cupcakes out of her!”

(Pinkamina)

“Why Pinkie? What’s wrong?”

(Pinkie Pie)

“She’s my best friend! Not to mention, it’s against the law to turn into a cannibal!”

(Pinkamina)

(Annoyed) “Oh, it ALWAYS goes back to the law, doesn’t it?”

(Pinkie Pie)

“Well, yes!”

(Pinkamina)

“Well at one point, didn’t you wish you could break ONE law, just ONCE, and get away with it?”

(Pinkie Pie)

“No! I never broke a law. And I don’t plan to!”

(Pinkamina)

“Well, you just started on our operation. You shouldn’t stop now!”

(Pinkie Pie)

(Raising voice) “I JUST DRUGGED HER! WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT FROM ME?”

(Pinkamina)

“I want more, Pinkie Pie! I want her blood! I want her tears! I want your friend to suffer!”

(Pinkie Pie)

“No! You can’t make me kill my best friends! She’ll be dead by the time we’re done with her!”

(Pinkamina)

“Ah yes. BUT, think about it. You kill Rainbow Dash here, you get to spend the rest of your life with her.”

(Pinkie Pie)

“Okay, that I understand. But what about Soarin’, the others, the weather force, everypony-.”

(Pinkamina)

“Forget about them! They have nothing to do with what we will do to her.”

(Pinkie Pie)

(Raising voice even more than before) “NO! I’M NOT KILLING HER AND THERE’S NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT, PINKAMINA!”

(Pinkamina walks out of the mirror, her eyes changing from blue eyes with white to red eyes with black. Pinkie Pie looks scared.)

(Pinkamina)

“I wouldn’t be so sure about that."

(Pinkie Pie)

“No. That’s not possible! You're not real! You're just a figment of my imagination! I got rid of you the same day you took over me! YOU DON'T EXIST!"

(Pinkamena)

“Well, I do. Now let’s get to work.”

(Pinkamena begins to walk towards Rainbow Dash but Pinkie Pie stops her.)

(Pinkie Pie)

“NO! I won’t let you hurt her!”

(Pinkamena)

“Such a shame Pinkie Pie. You decided to help. It’ll be a shame for you to quit now.”

(She then taps Pinkie Pie on the shoulder and with a dark red aura, her body moves to drag Rainbow Dash away into the basement against Pinkie Pie's command as the chorus of Room of Angel begins to play.)

(Pinkie Pie)

“Hey! What did you do? No! I’m not killing Rainbow Dash! Somepony! Help me! Please! I’m not doing this!”

(She disappears into the hatch still screaming for help. Pinkamena grows an evil smile as she watches.)

(Pinkamena)

“Let the fun begin.”

(She then walks down the hatch after Pinkie Pie and shuts the door. The chorus comes to an end as the lights slowly fade out.)

(End of Scene 3)

Act 3, Scene 4

Okay, so now that the 'interval' is over, please return to your seats for the rest of the performance.

Now ladies & Gentlemen (or for any bronies reading this, mares and colts), let us continue with tonight's performance of 'Te Amo, Rainbow Dash'

(The lights turn on to reveal Soarin, Spitfire, Spike, Twilight Sparkle, Fluttershy, Rarity and Applejack. They all look worried. Soarin looks the most worried out of the whole group.)

(Applejack)

"Um, shouldn't Rainbow Dash be back by now?"

(Spike)

"I dunno. I'd say something's holding her back."

(Soarin)

"I hope so. I especially hope she's careful."

(Twilight Sparkle)

"Guys, she said she'll see us in a minute. She'll be back soon."

(Spike)

"Twilight, there's one fact you don't seem to have acknowledged: Rainbow Dash said that, half an hour ago!"

(Twilight Sparkle)

"Well Spike, it's possible that she's still helping Pinkie Pie. She said she had a large order to fill with Mr. & Mrs. Cake."

(Spike)

"True. True."

(Rarity)

"Well, of course there's that. But you know how much Rainbow Dash loves Soarin right now. Chances are she'll quickly do her job with Pinkie Pie and then, come back straight here."

(As Rarity says this line, a faint murmur with a slight echo can be heard. However, nopony notices the sound. After Rarity is finished, a clear voice that sounds like Rainbow Dash can be heard.)

(Rainbow Dash's Voice)

"I’m sorry if I did anything to you. I didn’t mean it. Please let me go. I promise I won’t tell anybody."

(Soarin seems to be the only pony who hears this whilst the others are oblivious.)

(Soarin)

"Uhh, was it just me or did you guys hear a voice?"

(Spitfire)

"What voice? I didn't hear anything."

(Soarin)

"You guys didn't hear it?"

(Everypony)

(Simultaneously) "No."

(Soarin)

"It sounded like Rainbow Dash. Just listen carefully. It might come back."

(After a few seconds, another voice comes through. This time, the voice is Pinkie Pie's.)

(Pinkie Pie's Voice)

"Well, that’s enough reminiscing. It’s time to begin."

(Soarin)

"Okay! Tell me you guys heard that!"

(Spitfire)

"No. I didn't hear anything. Just the wind and some birds."

(Soarin takes a seat, clutching his head.)

(Soarin)

"I don't get it. Why am I hearing voices suddenly? I definately heard Dashie's voice. But who was the other voice? It sounds so familiar, yet so-."

(Soarin suddenly clutches his flank, where his cutie marks are.)

"Ow!"

(Spike)

"You okay Soarin?"

(Soarin)

"Guys, you're not gonna believe this, but my flanks are starting to hurt. It's like they've been cut off."

(Fluttershy)

"Which flank?"

(Soarin)

"Both of them."

(He then starts to flutter his left wing.)

(Spitfire)

"Soarin, whatever's going on, it isn't funny. We have a stunt show to perform in 8 hours and you faking injuries isn't helping."

(Soarin)

"This isn't fake Spitfire. Now, for some reason, my left wing has gone numb."

(Pinkie Pie's voice comes back.)

(Pinkie Pie's Voice)

"Hey Dash, think fast!"

(Soarin looks up.)

(Soarin)

"What?"

(The instant he says this line, there is a loud crack as Soarin falls off his chair in pain, clutching his right wing.)

"ARGH! MY WING!"

(The other immediately take notice at this.)

(Spitfire)

"Soarin! Are you alright? What just happened?"

(Soarin)

"MY WING FEELS LIKE IT'S BEEN RIPPED CLEAN OFF! AND THERE'S ALSO A BURNING IN MY BACK!"

(Spitfire)

"Oh sweet Celestia."

(She turns to face the others.)

"In all my years of being a Wonderbolt, I've never seen anything like this."

(To Soarin)

"Is there anything we can get you? You know, to help with your back?"

(Soarin)

"Yeah! Somepony get me an ice pack!"

(Spike runs off stage and comes back with an ice pack. Soarin rips off the upper half of his costume. Spike then runs up behind Soarin and places the ice pack on his back.)

(Spike)

"I don't see any scratches. No bruises. No burns. Nothing."

(Spitfire)

"Keep it on though. He may be catching a disease or something."

(Soarin)

"Okay, that's sure to calm me-."

(Before he can finish his sentence, there's a loud banging of a nail being hit with a hammer as Soarin falls over, screaming in pain, clutching the seam between his front legs and hooves.)

"OW! NOW MY HOOVES ARE HURTING ME!"

(Spitfire)

(Yelling to somepony off stage) "Somepony get a medic out here!"

(Rainbow Dash's Voice)

"PLEASE STOP! PLEASE, PLEASE STOP!"

(As soon as it ends, Soarin stops screaming and slowly stands up.)

(Soarin)

"Okay, my hooves still hurt but I think I'll be okay. I just heard Dashie's voice again. I have the feeling-."

(There's suddenly a loud crackle of electricity and Soarin falls on his back and begins flailing & convusling uncontrollably, similiar to that of a seizure.)

(Fluttershy)

"SOMEPONY HELP SOARIN! I THINK HE'S HAVING A SEIZURE!"

(Spitfire)

(Yelling off stage) "FOR CELESTIA'S SAKE, WHERE IS THAT MEDIC?"

(The others run up and try to hold his legs and head in place. After a few minutes of this, Soarin suddenly stops.)

(Spitfire)

"Okay Soarin, I think you should really sit this stunt show out."

(Soarin)

"No Spitfire! I'm okay! Really! These things can happen to anypony."

(Twilight Sparkle)

"Sure, ponies feel pain in their hooves and flanks, but they don't suddenly break out into a seizure!"

(Soarin is aided to a seat.)

(Spitfire)

"Well, now what? The stunt show's in 8 hours and Soarin's not feeling well."

(Applejack)

"I hope Rainbow Dash gets back here soon. She could take his place."

(Spitfire)

"Okay, that'll do. I'll try and contact Sugarcube Corner. Fluttershy, could you look after Soarin just until we get back?"

(Fluttershy)

"Oh certainly. I find it easy to take care of animals so Soarin shouldn't be too hard."

(Spitfire)

"Good. Call me if he starts to act strange. The rest of you, come with me."

(Everypony but Fluttershy & Soarin leave the stage.)

(Fluttershy)

"So um, what's it like being a Wonderbolt?"

(Soarin)

"It's pretty cool. You get to do all sorts of stunts and things."

(Fluttershy)

"I would join myself but it just looks so scary."

(Soarin)

"Well, it is. But then you get used to it."

(Fluttershy)

"Oh."

(Fluttershy then goes over to a near-by radio. She then turns it on and tries to find a station, but she finds nothing but static.)

(Pinkie Pie's Voice)

"Looks like I got my ‘I’ on you, Dash."

(After this line, Soarin starts clutching his chest and stomach in pain, breathing heavily. Fluttershy instantly notices this and rushes to his side.)

(Fluttershy)

"Soarin! Are you alright? Spitfire! Get in here!"

(Spitfire and the rest of the group come back on stage.)

(Spitfire)

"Soarin! Are you okay?"

(Rarity)

"Are you hurt?"

(Soarin)

"MY ORGANS ARE BURNING! SOMEPONY HELP ME!"

(Suddenly, Soarin goes quiet.)

"What just happened?"

(Spike)

"You just yelled out that your organs were burning."

(Soarin)

"I don't understand."

(Applejack)

"We all came out and saw ya clutchin' your stomach and chest as if your organs were fallin' out."

(Soarin)

"Falling out?"

(Spitfire)

"That's it, I'm calling the Ponyville Hospital."

(She's about to leave the stage when-.)

(Soarin)

"NO! PLEASE! DON'T HURT ME!"

(Rarity)

"What are you talking about Soarin? Spitfire wouldn't hurt you."

(Soarin)

"Spitfire's not here. There's only......her."

(Spitfire)

"Where are you Soarin?"

(Soarin)

"I'm in a dark room. There's blood and gore everywhere. I can see the words 'Life is a party', made out of blood red pony hides."

(Twilight Sparkle)

"Who's 'her'? Who's there with you?"

(Soarin suddenly clamps his eyes shut tightly.)

(Soarin)

(Screaming) "NO! NO PLEASE! NOT THE THROAT! NOT THE THROAT! ARGH! SHE'S CUTTING MY SKULL! SOMEPONY! HELP ME!"

(Soarin lets out a blood-curling scream before reopening his eyes.)

"Oh no. Something's wrong! Dashie!"

(Before anypony can react, Soarin flies off in a panic.)

(Applejack)

"What the hay was that all about?"

(Spitfire)

"I don't know Applejack. In all my years as a Wonderbolt, I've never seen Soarin go through something like this."

(The lights fade out.)

(End of Scene 4.)

Act 3, Scene 5

(The stage is dark. After a few seconds, a spotlight reveals Pinkie Pie. She's holding a bloody scalpel, has drenched her dress in blood and has tears rolling down her cheeks.)

(Pinkie Pie)

"I killed her. Rainbow Dash is no more. I've murdered her. Took my scalpel and took her life away."

(When mentioning the scalpel, she holds it up to the light before dropping it onto the ground beside her.)

"I've horribly mutilated her. Cut off her wings, cutie marks and all! It's all my fault! I can live with myself any more!"

(She falls to her knees, beginning to cry.)

"What'll my friends think of me now when they find out? They may never want to be my friends any more. Nopony wants to be friends with a murdering psychopath! Nopony! And what about Soarin? Him and Dashie only started being coltfriend and marefriends 3 months ago, and I took Dashie away from him. What should I do? I can't just hand myself in! I don't think I can survive a day in the Equestria Prison, or worse, the Moon!"

(Pinkamina appears out of the darkness.)

(Pinkamina)

"Don't talk about Dashie's death that way! Only a coward like yourself would say such things!"

(Pinkie Pie)

"I killed Rainbow Dash. I gave you her blood. I gave you her tears. I made her suffer for your amusement! What more do you want from me?"

(Pinkamina)

"I want you to finish the job. After you're done, I want you to take that corpse of a friend and dump her into Equestria Lake. No pony shall find out. Not even Soarin."

(Pinkie Pie)

"I've had enough. I can't do anymore! She's dead! She's a maggot ridden corpse and-."

(Rainbow Dash)

(From the darkness) "You do realize I can hear you right?"

(The lights suddenly turn on with a loud startling violin screech. The whole cellar is revealed to the audience. It's exactly like the cellar in 'Cupcakes'. Rainbow Dash is tied to the rack with a heart monitor attached to it. Her heart rate is at it's normal speed, beeping quietly every 2 seconds. There are 2 red holes where her cutie marks were and there are also bloody stumps on her back where her wings were. Also, there are two nails in Rainbow Dash's hooves with wires leading to a generator. Rainbow Dash's skin is a dark cyan with blotches of black, presumably electrocuted.)

"I'm still alive and I can hear everything you say."

(Pinkamina)

"Shut up Dashie! You shall not tell us how to bring your death!"

(Rainbow Dash)

"Haven't you done enough damage to me already? I mean, look at me! My cutie marks and wings are gone, I have nails in my hooves and I just had Goddess knows how many volts surge through my system! You gone insane Pinkie!"

(Pinkamina)

"But we're not done yet Dashie. I want to have you dead so we can dump you at Equestria Lake where they'll never find your body."

(Pinkamina makes Pinkie Pie raise her scalpel and walks towards Rainbow Dash. Her heart monitor begins to beep faster and faster.)

(Rainbow Dash)

"Wait, Pinkie. You're not going to MURDER ME, ARE YOU? SOMEPONY! SOARIN! HELP ME!"

(Soarin)

(Off stage) "Dashie? Is that you? I'll be right down!"

(Pinkamina)

"Damn it! We'll have to leave Rainbow Dash as she is!"

(Pinkie Pie)

"But what about Soarin?"

(Pinkamina)

"Forget about him! Now kindly release Dashie from her bounds."

(Pinkie Pie and Pinkamina remove the nails from Rainbow Dash's hooves before unstrapping the legs. Rainbow Dash falls to the floor limp, landing on her stomach.)

"Come on Pinkie Pie! We must get out of here!"

(Pinkamina runs up to a book case and removes it, revealing a secret passageway. She goes in first. Pinkie Pie starts to enter too but stops.)

(Pinkie Pie)

"Please Dashie, forgive me."

(She then goes through the doorway and Pinkamina places the book case back just before Soarin enters the stage.)

(Soarin)

"Rainbow Dash? Is everything O-?"

(He notices Rainbow Dash.)

"DASHIE!"

(He runs up and turns her body to face him. The stage goes dark as a spotlight shines on both Rainbow Dash and Soarin, presumably symbolizing Heaven. Dashie coughs violently as 'An Ending (Ascent)' by Brian Eno begins to play. She slowly turns to face Soarin.)

(Rainbow Dash)

"S-Soarin? Is that you?"

(Soarin)

"I'm right here for you my love."

(Rainbow Dash)

"Soarin, I think I'm dying."

(Soarin begins to tear up.)

(Soarin)

"No please! Don't say that to me! I know you'll make it out alive! I'll call the Ponyville Hospital!"

(He reaches for a phone but Rainbow Dash stops him.)

(Rainbow Dash)

"No Soarin. I'm losing too much blood. I'll be dead by the time they arrive."

(Soarin)

"No! You won't! I won't let that happen! Not to you!"

(Rainbow Dash)

"It's all my fault Soarin. If I never went to Sugarcube Corner, I'd never be in this situation."

(Soarin)

"No! It's not your fault! It's mine!"

(Rainbow Dash)

"How? How is it your fault?"

(Soarin)

"I should've went with you to Sugarcube Corner with you."

(Rainbow Dash)

"No Soarin. It's mine and mine alone. I never got to perform with you and the Wonderbolts."

(Soarin)

"I'm so sorry I never told Spitfire about you sooner."

(Rainbow Dash places her hoof onto Soarin's costume before speaking.)

(Rainbow Dash)

"Please. Tell my friends, I'll always love them, even in death. I'll never forget them."

(Rainbow Dash falls limp.)

(Soarin)

"No! Please stay with me Dashie!"

(He shakes her a little which in turn wakes her. Soarin's checks are now lines with tears falling freely from his eyes. Some land on Rainbow Dash's mane and coat.)

"I'll never let you go Dashie. Please! Stay with me! I love you! We were meant to be together forever! We were meant to get married, have fillies and live the rest of our lives together as a happy family! I was meant to spend the rest of my life...... with you!"

(Rainbow Dash looks up into the spotlight.)

(Rainbow Dash)

"Wait, mom? Is that you?"

(Soarin looks up too as Rainbow Dash holds out a hoof towards it.)

"I'm coming mom!"

(Soarin)

"No! Your mother wouldn't want you to die! She'd want you to fight! She'd want you to survive this! She'd want you to spend the rest of your love with the colt you love the most!"

(Rainbow Dash)

"There's nothing I can do Soarin. I'm going to die. No doubt about it. Life's a cruel game and then you die."

(Soarin)

"No! Life isn't always a cruel game! There are some turning points for you! Please! Don't let me go!"

(Teary eyed, Soarin clutches Rainbow Dash's head and presses his lips onto hers. The two are locked in a passionate kiss for roughly 10 seconds before they pull away.)

"I won't let you die on me Dashie! I just won't!"

(Rainbow Dash)

"I understand. The more you hold something or somepony to your heart, the harder it is to let it go."

(Soarin)

"Exactly Dashie! I won't let you die! I......."

(He pauses to hold back tears. He sniffes before continuing.)

"I love you."

(Rainbow Dash)

"Soarin, I-I love..... you...... t......"

(Rainbow Dash falls limp once again, dead.)

(Soarin)

"Dashie? DASHIE? PLEASE DON'T DIE ON ME!"

(Her heart monitor flatlines as the ending of the second chorus from Queen's 'Who Wants To Live Forever' begins to play.)

"Dashie no!"

(He crys into her neck before looking up into the spotlight and screaming:)

"NOOOOO!"

(He then takes Rainbow Dash's corpse in his forehooves and cradle it as he continues to break down.)

"What am I going now that you're gone from my life? How am I going to explain this to the others? Why did you have to die on me Dashie? WHY?"

(He then places his forehooves around Rainbow Dash's lifeless back and stands, holding her dead body in them.)

"Celestia! If you're so loving and caring, WHY DO YOU LET THINGS LIKE THIS HAPPEN?"

(Bright flashes of lightning are seen at the giant windows in the background as a roll of thunder can be heard before the spotlight goes out.)

(End of Scene 5.)

Act 3, Scene 6

(The lights activate to reveal Applejack, Spitfire, Twilight Sparkle, Spike, Rarity and Fluttershy all standing around the area, talking to one another. Eventually, Apple Bloom, Scootaloo & Sweetie Belle walk on stage, accompanied by Braeburn, Big Macintosh.)

(Braeburn)

"Hey guys, what's goin' on?"

(Applejack)

"Braeburn! Have you seen Rainbow Dash anywhere?"

(Braeburn)

"Pegasus pony with a cyan coat and a rainbow mane and tail?"

(Applejack)

(Hopeful) "Yeah!"

(Braeburn)

"No."

(Rarity)

"What about you Macintosh?"

(Big Macintosh)

"Nope."

(Twilight Sparkle)

"Have you girls seen Rainbow Dash?"

(Sweetie Belle)

"No."

(Scootaloo)

"Nope."

(Apple Bloom)

(Shaking head) "Uh-uh."

(Spitfire)

"Oh! I'm really getting worried now! I tried to call Sugarcube Corner and I got no answer! Maybe something bad HAS happened to Rainbow Dash!"

(Spike)

"Spitfire! Calm down. She could still be with Pinkie Pie."

(Pinkie Pie suddenly runs in.)

(Big Macintosh)

"Pinkie Pie? What are ya doin' 'round these parts at this time?"

(Pinkie Pie)

"It's Dashie! We were trying to make cupcakes and she got hurt!"

(Everypony)

(in unison) "WHAT?!"

(Pinkie Pie)

"Yeah! I left Sugarcube Corner to get help. Mr. and Mrs. Cake are looking after her now."

(Fluttershy)

"Well, we must get to Rainbow Dash right away!"

(Pinkie Pie)

"Actually guys, that won't be necessary."

(Applejack)

"Why not?"

(Pinkie Pie)

"Ponyville Paramedics are on their way right now."

(Braeburn)

"We should go there regardless!"

(Suddenly, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna appear.)

(Princess Celestia)

"What on earth is going on here?"

(Spitfire)

"Princess Celestia! Rainbow Dash has been hurt in Sugarcube Corner and Soarin's been gone for nearly half an hour! We're really getting worried sick!"

(Princess Luna)

"Spitfire, calm down. When was the last time you saw Soarin and Rainbow Dash?"

(Spitfire)

"Um well, Rainbow Dash left about an hour ago to help Pinkie Pie with something and Soarin left half an hour ago because he thought something was wrong."

(Princess Celestia)

"Well chances are she'll still be there. We should head over right-."

(A tearful Soarin walks on stage, carrying a large object in a big white sheet stained with what looks like blood.)

(Spitfire)

"Soarin, where on earth have you been? We've been worried sick about you. For goodness sake, please don't-!"

(She then notices Soarin's teary face.)

"Soarin? Are you okay?"

(Soarin)

"Do I look okay right now?"

(Big Macintosh)

"No need for sarcasm."

(Scootaloo)

"What are you carrying?"

(Applejack)

"And where's Rainbow Dash?"

(Soarin)

"You don't want to know, but since you'd probably pester me until I show you. Braeburn, you might want to cover the fillies' eyes. This isn't gonna pretty for them."

(Braeburn just nods and places a hoof over Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle's eyes whilst Big Macintosh does the same for Scootaloo. Soarin then places the object down on the ground and removes the sheet. It reveals Rainbow Dash, with the same mutilations seen in the previous scene. Celestia, Luna, Rarity, Spike, Twilight Sparkle and Spitfire all gasp at the sight of Rainbow Dash. Big Macintosh, Braeburn, Fluttershy & Applejack all stand mouths agape.)

(Braeburn)

"OH MY STARS!"

(Spike)

"What on earth happened to Rainbow Dash?!"

(Soarin)

"I found her like that. She was alone when I arrived."

(Everypony turns to face Pinkie Pie, who's slowly tearing up.)

(Pinkie Pie)

"Don't look at me! The accident left her like that!"

(She finally breaks down.)

"Oh! It's all my fault! I should never have left Sugarcube Corner to get help! I should've stayed behind and helped her survive her injuries!"

(Scootaloo)

"What's going on? I wanna see this!"

(The 3 fillies escape the hooves of the colts shielding their eyes.)

(Braeburn)

"NO!"

(Big Macintosh)

"DON'T LOOK!"

(But it's too late. Upon seeing Rainbow Dash's corpse, their faces drop.)

(Sweetie Belle)

"Is-is that?"

(Soarin)

"I told you it wasn't going to be pretty."

(Scootaloo walks forward before falling to her knees at Rainbow Dash's body.)

(Scootaloo)

"Why? WHY DID YOU HAVE TO DIE ON US DASHIE?!"

(Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle walk up to Scootaloo and hug her. Fluttershy then starts crying also. Spike notices this and hugs her which she tearfully returns.)

(Applejack)

"That can't. That can't be Rainbow Dash!"

(Soarin)

"Believe me, it is."

(With Scootaloo, Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie crying in the background and with the funeral march playing, Soarin slowly walks up to Dashie's corpse. He closes her eyes (which were open the whole time after her death) and then places the sheet over her body. Afterwards, he breaks down also. Braeburn then walks up.)

(Braeburn)

"Soarin, my friend, it's okay. I understand."

(Braeburn places a hoof around the back of Soarin's neck before pulling him into a hug. Spitfire then walks up and joins Braeburn hugging Soarin. The other ponies close their eyes and tilt their heads in respect. Scootaloo is still being hugged by Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle and Spike is still hugging Fluttershy. After a few seconds of this, the lights and music slowly fade out.)

(End of Scene 6.)

(End of Act 3.)

Act 4, Scene 1

(The lights fade in to reveal a large dinner table with a few scraps of food left on the plates. Twilight Sparkle, Spike, Applejack, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Braeburn, Princess Cadence and Shining Armour are all sitting around it, talking amongst themselves. There are also four empty seats. After a while, Spitfire walks in.)

(Spitfire)

"Hey guys, have you seen Soarin anywhere?"

(Everypony)

(In unison) "No."

(Almost immediately, a crying Soarin then walks on stage, his hooves over his eyes.)

(Princess Cadence)

"Well that answers that question."

(Spike)

"Not really too hard to spot him ever since Rainbow Dash died. He's been like that for 2 days."

(Spitfire walks up to Soarin and removes his hooves from his eyes, revealing red rings around them.)

(Spitfire)

"Soarin, I understand how you feel right now after what happened to Dashie. But really, Dashie wouldn't want you to be in this much pain."

(Soarin)

"I know. But Dashie was the love of my life. I just don't see the point in living without her."

(Braeburn)

"Oh come on Soarin, guarantee you'll find yourself another mare to give the same amount of love and affection to as Rainbow Dash."

(Shining Armour)

"Yeah. I thought the same thing when I first broke up with my marefriend before I married Cadence."

(Soarin breaks down even more whilst everypony glances at Shining Armour.)

"What? I didn't know mentioning marriage would make him feel worse!"

(Soarin)

"I really don't think I want to live on this world anymore."

(Everypony in the room gasps and perks up at hearing this.)

(Rarity)

"Soarin! Don't be ridiculous!"

(Applejack)

"Yeah, ya may've lost Rainbow Dash to some freak accident but that ain't no reason to go suicidal on us."

(Fluttershy)

"Think about your fan base and how they would feel if you killed yourself!"

(Soarin)

"You guys are right. I'm not suicidal......"

(Everypony begins to smile.)

"But I'm thinking about it."

(Everypony's smile drops. Before Spitfire can say anything, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna appear.)

(Princess Luna)

"Mares and Gentlecolts, if you may please be seated."

(Spitfire and Soarin go to the table and sit down in  2 empty seats whilst Luna and Celestia take the others. Soarin sits in a chair that underneath a faulty light which flickers every few seconds or so. Celestia stands up.)

(Princess Celestia)

"Everypony, tonight we meet at a very unfortunate time in our lives. We as ponies have suffered many losses throughout our history due to war, disease, disasters or any other event of that nature. However, we honour a fallen pegasus pony that lost her life 2 days ago due to a freak accident at Sugarcube Corner. Now, I understand that she was very dear to a lot of us here tonight......"

(Celestia glances at Soarin, who's still crying. Braeburn then pulls a forearm out and hugs him. She then continues.)

"However, now is a good time for us to respect her as she progresses into the afterlife and joins the other fallen ponies of our history. So rather than mourn Rainbow Dash's death, I'm sure she'd want us to be celebrating her life. After all, she was an incredible athlete and a loyal friend. Pinkie Pie? I believe you wanted to say a few words?"

(Pinkie Pie)

"Um yes, Princess Celestia I do."

(Pinkie Pie stands up as Celestia sits back down.)

"Well, first of all, I just want to say that Dashie will be missed. I understand Soarin's pain as much as I understand everypony else's. But I will say, me and Dashie had shared a special bond together. And now that she's dead, you can imagine how that'll greatly affect our everyday lives. I'm sure a lot of tears will be shed all across Equestria,  especially from the fillies and fans of Rainbow Dash, and-."

(She stops mid-sentence and gets a terrified look on her face as eerie music begins to play. Behind Soarin's chair, in the faulty light, the bloody mutilated ghost of Rainbow Dash can be seen. She's missing her cutie marks and wings. There are also massive holes at the joints of her fore legs and hooves. Her stomach is cut open in an 'I' shape with her organs and ribcage visable. She's also missing parts of skin on her face. The ghost has a angry look on its face as it glares directly at Pinkie Pie.)

(For the creepy music, just search up 'Best Horror Music Ever (Ending Removed)' on Youtube.)

"No!"

(Everypony in the room perks up upon hearing this as she backs away from the table.)

"I didn't do it! You have no prove!"

(Shining Armour)

"Pinkie Pie? Is something the matter?"

(Pinkie Pie)

(To Shining Armour) "The matter?! Can you not see it? It stands before Soarin on his throne!"

(Everypony looks at the spot Pinkie mentioned. Even Soarin looks back.)

(To the Ghost) "You can't prove anything to say I did it!"

(Braeburn)

"Pinkie, there's nothing there."

(Soarin)

"Yeah. I don't see anything."

(Princess Luna)

"Pinkie Pie please, this is getting ridiculous!"

(Pinkie Pie)

(Snapping at Princess Luna) "RIDICULOUS?! AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO ISN'T BLIND TO THE DARKNESS THAT WE AS PONIES CHOOSE TO IGNORE?!"

(As Celestia speaks, the ghost disappears.)

(Princess Celestia)

"It's probably just the faulty lighting Pinkie Pie, or just a hallucination brought on by your friend's sudden death. Just finish your speech and we'll say no more about it."

(Pinkie Pie)

(Nervously) "Um, well......."

(She picks up a glass, still agitated.)

"Since I have nothing else to say, I'm just gonna finish off with a toast to our late friend Rainbow Dash. She will be missed."

(Everypony else raises their glasses and drinks.)

(Princess Celestia)

"Thank you Pinkie Pie. If you'd like to take a seat."

(Pinkie Pie moves to sit down in the chair, but Rainbow Dash's ghost reappears sitting in the chair, glaring at her.)

"NO!"

(Everypony in the room is startled at this. Pinkie Pie's mane then goes flat.)

(Princess Cadence)

"Pinkie Pie! What's wrong?"

(Pinkie Pie)

"It's back! The ghostly vision of my desceased friend!"

(Twilight Sparkle)

"Pinkie Pie, there's no such things as ghosts."

(Pinkie Pie)

"That's what everypony wants you to believe Twilight! But nopony believes they exist until they see on themselves!"

(Rarity)

"Pinkie, what are you-?"

(Pinkie Pie)

(To the Ghost) "Go crawl back into your grave vile spirit! Take any other shape. Come back as a parasprite! A dragon! A Changling! An Ursa Major! But not as my desceased friend! It pains me to see you with eyes of pure hatred! Get out evil spirit! You horrid hallucination!"

(She grabs a near-by candlestick.)

"GET OUT OF MY SIGHT!"

(She then throws the candlestick at the Ghost, but it misses and breaks on the floor. The Ghost then stands up and advances on Pinkie Pie. She then grabs a knife from the table, grabs the ghost by its neck and points the knife at its throat whilst it stops dead in its tracks.)

"TAKE ANOTHER STEP CLOSER AND I'LL HAVE YOUR THROAT!"

(Suddenly, the lights go out, leaving the stage in pure darkness. After a few seconds of silence:)

(Princess Luna)

"Get your hoof off my sister!"

(The lights go back on to reveal Pinkie Pie threatening Celestia, in the same position as she was threatening the ghost. The group suddenly get up and pull the two apart.)

(Pinkie Pie)

"Princess Celestia! I'm so sorry! I don't know what came over me!"

(Princess Celestia)

"No Pinkie. It's obvious you're stressed out over Rainbow Dash's sudden death. I suggest we leave you in peace for tonight so you can get some sleep. I mean, why else would you threaten to hurt me when I came up to see if you were okay."

(Pinkie Pie)

"Princess Celestia! You don't understand! I didn't mean to be threatening you! I swear, I saw Dashie! I'll draw you a picture!"

(She gets started on a near by napkin.)

(Celestia)

"No need Pinkie Pie. You just need to get some sleep. If everypony can please take Ms. Pinkie Pie home?"

(Shining Armour, Princess Cadence, Twilight Sparkle, Spike, Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy, Braeburn & Princess Luna walk over to Pinkie Pie and escort her out of the room.)

(Pinkie Pie)

(As being escorted away) "No please! You guys gotta believe me! I DID see Dashie!"

(Princess Celestia then turns to Spitfire and Soarin.)

(Princess Celestia)

"Terribly sorry about tonight. We'll hope she turns out alright in the morning. Anyway, I must head on home."

(Princess Celestia leaves, leaving Soarin & Spitfire alone.)

(Spitfire)

"Well Soarin, I'm off to bed. You coming?"

(Soarin)

"Huh? Oh yeah, I'll be going to bed as well in about 5 minutes."

(Spitfire leaves the stage. Soarin then looks around, walks out of his seat, takes the napkin and then walks off stage also. After he leaves, there's a click as the lights go out.)

(End of Scene 1.)

Act 4, Scene 2

(The lights turn on to reveal Pinkie Pie in her room, disturbed by the events in the previous chapter.)

(Pinkie Pie)

"It wasn't a ghost! It was just a figment of my imagination. Nothing more. Nothing less. But if it wasn't my imagination? What if Dashie has come back to haunt me?"

(Pinkamina appears.)

(Pinkamina)

"Don't be ridiculous Pinkie! Only a fool like yourself would think, see and say such things!"

(Pinkie Pie)

"Okay, even if it wasn't a ghost, I definately saw something under that light! It looked exactly like Dashie!"

(Pinkamina raises a hoof and slaps her across the face. Pinkie Pie falls to the floor as Pinkamina stands over her.)

(Pinkamina)

"QUIET PINKIE! You're acting like a filly and it's not very professional!"

(Pinkie Pie pushes Pinkamina away.)

(Pinkie Pie)

"I'm not acting like a filly! And YOU'RE the one who's acting unprofessional! Are you just trying to make me mad?! 'Cause you're doing a real good job at it!"

(Pinkamina)

"I'm not the one who's trying to make you mad!"

('Dark World' from 'Luna Game 3' begins to play as Pinkie Pie turns away from Pinkamina.)

"Don't you understand Pinkie Pie? Nobody's making you mad but yourself."

(Pinkie Pie)

"I don't believe you. And I don't see any reason why I should."

(Pinkamina)

"You're able to cope with murder Pinkie. I know. I saw you murder Gilda."

(Pinkie Pie turns back to face Pinkamina.)

(Pinkie Pie)

"No! That was an accident! I never meant to kill her! She started with me! She went back to her meanie-mouth ways and tried to pick a fight with me after we couldn't find Dashie! She took several claws at me, I pushed her away and before we knew it, Gilda broke her neck by hitting her head on a rock! And you call THAT murder?"

(Pinkamina)

"Yes, BUT I wasn't the one who grabbed a live parasprite of a near-by tree and shoved it down her throat, holding it in place whilst she kicked and struggled, trying to break free, until eventually she fell limp from choking to death! Followed by you saying 'Sweet Celestia, what have I done?' and then you took her back to the Sugarcube Corner cellar!"

(Pinkie Pie)

"I was scared she was going to tell someone on me!"

(Pinkamina)

"It's not of any importance right now! There's another job I want you to do. At the memorial for Rainbow Dash, Soarin mentioned something about wanting to die."

(Pinkie Pie)

"So?"

(Pinkamina)

"So I want you to take your tools of trade and grant him his wish."

(Pinkie Pie)

"What?! You expect me to kill a Wonderbolt?! Well, you can forget it! I'm NEVER killing anypony again! Can you imagine how painful it felt for me to cut up my best friend whilst she screamed, cried and thrashed in her bonds?! Well, I've had enough! If you want to kill everypony in Equestria, go ahead! You'll get stopped eventually. But leave me out of this! I've done enough murder for my lifetime! If you want Soarin dead, do it yourself because I'm not killing anymore!"

(Pinkie Pie, breathing heavily, then goes over to her bed.)

"Now leave me alone. I'm going to bed."

(She then lies down on her back and falls asleep. Pinkamina then looks at her as 'Whispers From The Darkside' from 'Luna Game 0' begins to play.)

(Pinkamina)

"You know Pinkie? You're right. I SHOULD do the things I want to do. If I want Soarin, I'll do it myself."

(She then grabs a piece of plastic that looks like a dagger with a sharp blade.)

"Unfortunately, in order to do so, I'll need to kill anypony that plans to get in my way. Including those who I work and play with."

(She slowly advances on Pinkie Pie asleep as she lists a group of names.)

"Twilight, Applejack, Rarity, Spike, Fluttershy, Big Mac, Braeburn, Spitfire, even the Cutie Mark Crusaders. If they get in my way, it's suicide."

(She stands just before Pinkie Pie beside her bed.)

"And since you used to work with me, you're first."

(She then raises the piece of plastic, ready to stab Pinkie Pie.)

"It was nice knowing you Pinkie."

(Pinkie Pie then suddenly wakes up.)

(Pinkie Pie)

"WHAT?!"

(Pinkamina then brings down the plastic piece and stabs Pinkie Pie. Just as the dagger makes contact with Pinkie's chest, the lights go out. There is a loud blood-curling scream from Pinkie Pie and loud stabbing sounds in the background as Pinkamina stabs Pinkie Pie to death. After the scream ends, it echoes into the next scene.)

(End of Scene 2.)

Act 4, Scene 3

(As the scream from the previous scene fades out, the lights shine on the stage, very dimly, to reveal Soarin lying on his bed, holding the same picture of Rainbow Dash from Act 1, Scene 2 and crying heavily. Michael Ortega's 'It's Hard To Say Goodbye' is playing in the background.)

(Soarin)

"Oh Dashie! Not a moment goes by anymore that I don't think about you. I still remember when I first saw you at the Young Flyers Competition. You looked beautiful back then and you looked beautiful now. Well, maybe not now since you're dead and buried in the ground, but still, you were beautiful to me! Even if no other pony could see it! The Grand Galloping Gala took the cake for me. Nothing could change that fact. That lush rainbow mane of yours was just so beautiful for me to see on you, your confident voice that I love to hear, that dress, oh I'll never forget you in that dress! I never got the chance to see you until 3 months ago on your birthday. I'd have done anything for you Dashie. I even told you on the night we both slept together. Truth be told, I enjoyed that night even to this day. And then what? I disappear to Appaloosa for work, come back about a month later and lose you!"

(Soarin pauses to hold back tears. He then looks at the picture.)

"This picture is all I have left of you now. I look into every day and see your smile. It just pains me so much to know that you're gone. It pains me to know I'll never see your smile again. The feel of your lips upon mine, your hooves gliding themselves through my mane. All of it, gone."

(Soarin then hugs the picture as he cries. He then proceeds to place the picture on his cabinet as the music fades out. Through the darkness, a blood-red figure can be seen. He then looks at it, not seeming to recognise it.)

"Spitfire? What are you doing up this late? I apologise if my crying's keeping you up. Really, I'm sorry."

(The figure doesn't answer. Instead, it just walks towards Soarin.)

"Um, Spitfire?"

(It then can be seen through the dim light. The music from Act 4, Scene 1 begins to play as the figure is revealed to be Rainbow Dash's bloody ghost. Soarin looks horrified then takes out Pinkie Pie's drawing. He double takes at the ghost and the napkin.)

"Who are you?! What do you want from me?!"

(The ghost continues to walk towards the bed and goes around it.)

(to himself) "Okay, Soarin. It's just a nightmare you're having. You'll wake up and it'll be gone. Trust me, they always do. It's just a nightmare. Just wake up and it'll be gone. They always-."

(Soarin is cut off by the Ghost placing his face in her hooves and kissing him. Soarin's eyes shoot wide open at this. After a few seconds, the two pull away as the music fades to silence.)

"Wait. D-Dashie? Is that you?"

(Ghost)

(With the same effect as her voice in Act 3, Scene 4) "The same before I died."

(Soarin)

"Well, why are you here Dashie? I thought you'd spend your time in the afterlife or something."

(Ghost)

"And leave my beloved Soarin behind all depressed and lonely? I'm not that kind of mare you know Soarin."

(Soarin)

"True."

(Ghost)

"Also, I came to tell you that the 'accident' in Sugarcube Corner wasn't an accident at all."

(Soarin looks at the ghost.)

(Soarin)

"Wha-what do you mean?"

(Ghost)

"There was no accident at Sugarcube Corner. All those injuries you saw me in during my last moments of life, they were pony-made."

(Soarin)

"What?! Who would dare do such a thing to my little Dashie?!"

(The Ghost gives him an awkward glace.)

"I mean, who would dare do such a thing to you?!"

(Ghost)

"Pinkamina."

(Soarin)

"The pink pony?!"

(Ghost)

"Exactly."

(Soarin stands up off his bed and looks out of his window. He then slams his hoof into the wall beside the window before speaking.)

(Soarin)

(Angrily) "I don't believe this! She killed you?! She can expect the same thing from me! Goddess, when I find Pinkie Pie-."

(Ghost)

"Pinkie Pie?"

(Soarin turns back to face the Ghost.)

(Soarin)

"Yes Pinkie Pie!"

(Ghost)

"Pinkie Pie's dead."

(Soarin)

"What? What do you mean?"

(As the Ghost says the following lines, the Reprise of Laura's Theme from 'Silent Hill 2' begins to play.)

(Ghost)

"There is more than you understand about Pinkie Pie. She suffers from Multiple Personality Disorder. Pinkamina is her old self, back before she found her cutie mark and became the element of laughter. Ever since Pinkie Pie moved to Ponyville and lived in Sugarcube Corner with Mr. and Mrs. Cake, she's shut Pinkamina out of her new life. I saw first-hand what Pinkamina was like when she first didn't arrive to her suprise birthday party. She was depressed, spiteful towards me and the others and a tad bit on the insane side. Fortunately, she was able to control it. It seems now Pinkamina has decided to make a comeback and show Ponyville, and possibly all of Equestria, what Pinkie Pie didn't want us to see."

(Soarin)

"Well, how will that affect out lives? You know, in Equestria?"

(Ghost)

"Pinkamina has become a murderer. All those pains you felt back at the Ponyville Coliseum, I sent those to you telepathically in hopes you'll come and save me. Unfortunately, by the time you arrived, I was near-death and died in your forearms. The cellar was full of other dead ponies. Over the course of 3 months, Pinkamina managed to drug, mutilate and murder many ponyfolk. You've seen what she has done to me. Now she plans to do the same to you."

(Soarin)

"Well, what do we do?"

(Ghost)

"Not we, you. The whole of Equestria rests in your hooves, so to speak."

(Soarin)

"What am I supposed to do?"

(Ghost)

"You need to kill Pinkamina before she takes the life of another pony."

(Soarin)

"I can't Dashie! It would be wrong!"

(Ghost)

"Wrong is what SHE did to me! And what she wants to do to you. Besides, you said I can do whatever I wanted to you and you won't protest."

(Soarin)

"Yes, but murder is one of the things I'll never do. Also, how do I know you're not an evil spirit?"

(Ghost)

"Oh come on Soarin! Would I have kissed you if I was?"

(Soarin)

"Good point. Well, let me think about it & I'll tell you next time I see you."

(Ghost)

"Fair enough."

(The Ghost walks out the door as Soarin goes to sleep.)

(End of Scene 3)

Introduction

It’s 7:00am and the sun shines weakly through the blinds into your bedroom.

You wake up, stretch your arms and climb out of bed.

You then have a shower and then head out.

Other ponies have been talking about some new play that has been performed recently in Canterlot.

Then, a few of your friends told you that the play will be performed at the Equestria Theatre.

The summer air persuades you to walk your way to the theatre.

Eventually, you get to the theatre and see a large poster above the door.

It is red with the silhouette of what looks like Soarin’ holding a fainted silhouette of what looks like Rainbow Dash on a black barren landscape.

But what catches your eye is the title of the play.

‘Te Amo, Rainbow Dash’

You know that “Te Amo” is “I love you” in Italian, so you think that whoever wrote this must’ve had a crush on Rainbow Dash.

Either that, or Rainbow Dash is one of the characters and the “Te Amo” is from her love interest.

You go through the doors and get your ticket.

You then buy a quick drink and some popcorn from the snack area before walking down the corridor to the stage where the play is being performed.

The corridor has many posters up, all for the same play: ‘Te Amo, Rainbow Dash’

One had the same image as the massive poster outside.

Another had the image of Soarin’ holding up what looked like a syringe, reading to stab something with it.

And the final one seems to show Soarin’ kissing Rainbow Dash in what looks like a field.

So, Rainbow Dash was in the play!

And she’s in love with Soarin’ in the performance.

A hazel pony is standing outside the door to the performance hall.

He asks you for your ticket.

You hand it to him and wait as he checks it.

He then gives a nod before letting you through.

Before you enter the area, the last thing you hear is the pony from earlier saying to you “Enjoy the play.”

You take your seat at the near top of the room and look down at the stage.

There is a large curtain with the same design as the poster outside.

A red background with the silhouette of what looks like Soarin’ holding a fainted silhouette of what looks like Rainbow Dash on a black barren landscape.

Various pop songs are playing in the background over the talking of various ponies, the scrunching of wrappers and other things.

Suddenly, the lights go out slowly.

“Ladies and gentlemen, the performance of ‘Te Amo, Rainbow Dash’ is about to begin. Please turn off your mobile phones and no flash photography. Thank you.” An announcer says.

You sit back comfortably ready to see what everypony across Equestria has been talking about

(OK, this’ll be the point where I stop placing you in the story so you can sit back and watch (and by watch, I mean read) what happens during the course of the ‘play’. And before you ask, yes. This ‘play’ starts at the end and then goes back to the beginning to explain what happened. So, sit back and enjoy this, what I’d call, Equestrian Tragedy.)

(The curtain opens as the Dead Island Trailer Theme begins to play.)

(A red light shines on a rusty cellar set up with 3 large windows on the back. Blood and chains are all over the room with a few torture devices around the area. In the middle of it all, Pinkie Pie with her hair straight & Spike is laying on the floor, possibly dead. Twilight Sparkle and Rarity are beside Spike, crying over his body. On the far right, there is a furnace with orange light glowing inside. A small grey torn-off arm lies just outside the door In the middle of the stage, Soarin’ is lying in a crying Spitfire’s arms, also presumably dead. In the background, emergency service sirens are heard as red and blue lights flash at the windows. The scene comes alive without any sound from the actors. Spitfire continues silently crying over Soarin’s body. A few ambulance ponies arrive on the scene with a few police ponies. Spitfire looks back up at them and starts explaining to the police ponies what happened. As this goes on, Zecora walks on the stage.)

(Zecora)

“Before he begin, we’d like to apologize for the depressing start,

But we felt we must let you set your sights on this tragic art…….”

(She gestures to the scene behind her as she says this line.)

“You may sit here wondering what happened to makes these ponies’ lives come to an end,

Only such a tragedy that not even friendship could mend.

All the carnage around me, was the result of spilt innocent civil blood,

But save your tears, before they all join together and create a flood.

All these ponies you see, many innocent but still they were slain,

Who knows, by the time this play’s over, you may never think of your friends the same way again.

So, listen upon this story, this horrific work of art,

One which may tear you up, one that just might break your heart.”

(She leaves the scene as paramedics with stretchers come to collect the bodies. The lights then go out to start the play.)

Act 1, Scene 1

(The lights turn back on to reveal a busy street in Equestria. Many ponies are walking around, talking to others with the usual hustle and bustle of everyday life. Among the crowd, Derpy Hooves can be seen delivering mail from door to door. Eventually, Applejack walks across the stage and bumps into Fluttershy.)

(Applejack)

“Oh hey Fluttershy. Ya doin’ anything today?”

(Fluttershy)

“Not a lot Applejack. I was just on my way to Sugarcube Corner to meet up with Pinkie Pie. By the way, have you heard? The Wonderbolts are coming to Ponyville.”

(Applejack)

“Yeah. I heard. In fact, everypony’s been talkin’ ‘bout it. There’s also posters all across Ponyville, like this one right’a here.”

(She then walks over to a near-by poster. The poster is purple with white streaks across the poster’s ‘sky’ that are supposed to be the Wonderbolts flying. At the bottom corners of the poster, there are pictures of Spitfire & Soarin. A few details are present at the bottom such as address, events and other things.)

“Rainbow Dash is hyped to see ‘em again. After all, maybe it’ll give her a chance to talk to ‘em. I mean, think back to the Gran’ Gallopin’ Gala. Rainbow Dash saved Soarin’s apple pie, Spitfire invites her to spend the evenin’ with ‘em and what do they do? Waste their time in their own conversations.”

(Fluttershy)

“Yes. I mean, I’d be a tad bit annoyed if my idols invited me to spend an evening with them and they ignored me.”

(Applejack)

“No kiddin’. You were in the gardens, chasin’ after animals most o’ the night. You only came into the Gala after the animals ran in there.”

(Fluttershy)

“Applejack, that was a bad time for me. Please try and don’t mention it.”

(Applejack)

(Feeling a little ashamed) “Sorry Sugarcube.”

(Her ears perk up a few seconds later.)

“Hey, I got an idea! Rainbow Dash’s birthday is comin’ up tomorrow! And you know how Rainbow Dash is such a huge fan of the Wonderbolts?”

(Fluttershy)

“Yeah.”

(Applejack looks around then gestures Fluttershy to follow her. They both go into the bottom left corner of the stage where the noise is quieter.)

(Applejack)

“I think, as a birthday surprise, we should get the Wonderbolts to arrive at her party. I know Pinkie Pie recently got their number.”

(Fluttershy)

“Oh Applejack, you are clever. Rainbow Dash will love that!”

(Applejack quickly clamps her hoof on Fluttershy’s mouth.)

(Applejack)

“Shh! Do you want Rainbow Dash to know ‘bout this? It’ll ruin the surprise if she does.”

(Applejack removes her hoof for Fluttershy’s mouth.)

(Fluttershy)

“Sorry.”

(Applejack)

“Ah, it’s alright. Rainbow Dash isn’t here anywho. Anyway, didn’t you need to meet up with Pinkie Pie today?”

(Fluttershy)

“Oh, I almost forgot! I’ll see you around Applejack!”

(Fluttershy runs off the stage.)

(Applejack)

“Oh I can’t wait to see the look on Rainbow Dash’s face when she finds out about the Wonderbolts at her birthday party. I mean, from what she’s told me, she’s been a fan of ‘em since she was a filly. Now honestly, I do like ‘em myself, but I’m not as much as a fan as Rainbow Dash. Sure, Spitfire may do a good job at leadin’ the group and Soarin may be good lookin’ but they’re just way outta my liege for me. But Rainbow Dash will like ‘em. She always told me how beautiful and ‘hot’ Soarin was to her. I couldn’t agree more. I mean, why else would fillies all over Equestria swoon before him. Well, I gotta get back to the farm. Macintosh may be needin’ some help buckin’ all them apples back at Sweet Apple Acres.”

(Applejack leaves.)

(End of Scene 1.)

Act 1, Scene 3

(The stage is dark with the sounds of cheering. Eventually, the stage lights up to reveal several ponies cheering at something offstage presumably the Wonderbolts. Among the crowd, Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash can be seen. Pinkie Pie has her trademark smile on her face.)

(Pinkie Pie)

“Are you having a good time Rainbow Dash?”

(Rainbow Dash)

“You bet! You know how much I love the Wonderbolts, especially Soarin. My goddess, he’s so hot! Especially when he gets all sweaty and he looks like he’s glowing in the sunlight.”

(Pinkie Pie)

(Showing signs of jealousy) “I can imagine.”

(Rainbow Dash)

“What’s up Pinkie Pie? You look a little jealous.”

(Pinkie Pie)

(Smiling) “What? No. I’m not jealous. I’m happy you love Soarin. ”

(Rainbow Dash)

“I don’t love Soarin. I just, what’s the word? Admire him.”

(Pinkie Pie)

“Oh admire, love, they’re pretty much the same thing.”

(Rainbow Dash)

“Well not really, love is actually what it is and admiring is…”

(Pinkie Pie gives Rainbow Dash an unconvinced look.)

“Never mind. Look, I just need to get something. I’ll be right back.”

(Pinkie Pie)

(Smiling once again) “Okey-dokey Rainbow Dash!”

(Rainbow Dash goes offstage. Once she’s gone, Pinkie Pie’s smile falls into a frown.)

“Honestly, don’t get me wrong. I’m glad Rainbow Dash admires Soarin out of all the Wonderbolts. I mean, he’s the most popular colt in the whole group. Who wouldn’t fall in love with him? I mean, I heard one time that Spitfire dated him for a while before they decided to remain friends. In a way, you can say I’m a calmer form of Rainbow Dash around the Wonderbolts. I mean, when Rainbow Dash sees them, she looks like she’ll suffer a heart attack, kneel over onto the cold bitter ground and die. When I see them however, I just think they’re a good flight team. So far they haven’t done anything that’s blown my mind. But Soarin defiantly has got my level of affection up. I mean, how can anypony resist? He’s cool, talented and like Rainbow Dash says, ‘a super hot stallion’. Sometimes, I wish I could be around Soarin but at the same time, I don’t want to possibly ruin my friendship with Rainbow Dash.”

(Rainbow Dash comes back on stage during this moment holding a small picture of the Wonderbolts with ‘You sweep me off my hooves’ written on it.)

“Oh in Celestia’s name, what should I do?”

(Rainbow Dash)

“What should you do about what?”

(Pinkie Pie jumps a little at this.)

(Pinkie Pie)

“Oh nothing. I was just thinking to myself. Did you get that thing you were getting?”

(Rainbow Dash)

“Yeah I did. The Wonderbolts are so going to love this.”

(Pinkie Pie)

(To self) “Possibly as much as I love Soarin.”

(Rainbow Dash)

“I beg your pardon Pinkie?”

(Pinkie Pie)

“Nothing Rainbow Dash. I was just talking to myself.”

(Rainbow Dash)

(Chuckles) “Pinkie Pie, you’re so random.”

(Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash hold the sign up and cheer at the offstage Wonderbolts.)

(End of Scene 3.)

Act 2, Scene 2

(The lights turn on to reveal Soarin sitting on his bed with Spitfire sitting beside him.)

(Soarin)

"I don't understand, she kisses me and then runs away. What kind of mare does that?"

(Spitfire)

"She was probably just nervous. You never know Soarin, she could be on you within a couple of minutes or hours should she next find you."

(Soarin)

"I hope she does find me. I'm really keen to tell her how I feel."

(Spitfire)

"I know but it's a bit late don't you think? She's probably gone back home by now. She could be all warm and tucked up in bed for all we know."

(Voice)

(Off-stage) "I know why she's the way she was."

(Spitfire & Soarin look up as Braeburn walks in.)

(Spitfire)

"How did you get in?"

(Braeburn)

"I snuck in through the window."

(Spitfire)

"Why?

(Soarin)

"And didn't I see you at the party?"

(Braeburn)

"Firstly, yes ya did see me at the party. And second, just thought I'd pay a visit to you guys. What? Can't a Wonderbolt fan see his idols before he goes back to Appaloosa? Anyway, Rainbow Dash ran away from ya because she thought you'd be mad at her for kissin' her."

(Soarin)

"Why on earth would she think I'd be mad with her?"

(Braeburn)

"I dunno Soarin. But last time I checked, she ran to Whitetail Woods."

(Soarin looks hopeful.)

(Soarin)

"Is she still there?"

(Braeburn)

"I dunno. I just heard about it and went to tell you guys."

(Soarin)

(Touching his lips with his hoof) "Such a good kisser."

(He then looks back at Braeburn.)

"Oh I'm sorry Stranger. I never asked what your name was."

(Braeburn)

"Braeburn at your service, Mr. Soarin."

(Soarin)

"Aren't you Applejack's brother or something?"

(Braeburn)

"Uh, no sir. I'm her cousin. You've probably gotten me mistaken for Big Macintosh."

(Soarin)

"Is he the big red colt with the apple slice cutie mark and the deep voice?"

(Braeburn)

"Yep, tha's him. Now if I were you Soarin, I'd find Rainbow Dash and tell her how you feel."

(Soarin)

"You're right Braeburn!"

(Braeburn smiles at Soarin.)

"I'm gonna go tell her right now!"

(Braeburn's smile falls before Soarin pulls him into a crushing hug.)

"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!"

(Soarin releases Braeburn before running off stage.)

(Spitfire)

"Soarin wait!"

(Braeburn)

"I didn't mean right this minute!"

(A door can be heard closing.)

(Spitfire)

"Oh sweet Celestia! Goddess knows what trouble he'll get himself into at this time of night!"

(She's about to go after Soarin but Braeburn stops her.)

(Braeburn)

"No Spitfire. Let him find her. I'ma sure he'll be fine. All you can do now is just hope he finds Rainbow Dash and let him go from there."

(The lights turn off.)
