Darkness Shrouds Us All

    Here, we find our pal, Twilight Sparkle, studying as she usually does. Interrupted by the sound of a crash, followed by screaming  from a few smaller ponies which had also trotted away, she found Rainbow Dash lying in the grass outside Twilight's humble abode. She hurried to the window and saw her. "You okay there, Rainbow?" she yelled. The lightning-fast multicolored pony lifted her head weakily, saying, "Yeah," her head dropped back down, and continued speaking. "I'm fine!"

    Then Fluttershy came around with a group of ducklings, looking as if she was leading them to their pond, and saw that Rainbow Dash had crashed. "Oh my gosh, Rainbow Dash! Are you alright?" she said shockingly, as loud as she can speak, which still isn't loud at all. Rainbow Dash replied with a loud, short moan. "Here. Lemme help you back up." Fluttershy, feeble and fragile as she seems and is, brought Rainbow back on all fours. "Thanks, Fluttershy. Kinda needed the help." Rainbow Dash said, happily. Fluttershy turned her head down, still looking at Rainbow's face. "Any time, Rainbow."

    The two ponies turned their heads leftwards, noticing Pinkie Pie hopping down the street, heading for the two. "I heard something bad happened over here to Rainbow Dash!" She said, still hopping up and down. Rainbow Dash rubbed her head as if she had a headache, saying, "Yeah, I cr-," she was interrupted by the bouncy pink pony. "crashed onto the grass! So I decided to bring you a cupcake!" she said excitingly. She held up a cupcake that had multicolored sprinkles, aqua colorled cake-bread part, and Rainbow Dash's face drawn on with frosting and her name. "Wow, nice job on the cupcake, Pinkie! I appreciate it." the young sky-pony thanked.

    Then comes trotting Rarity, looking as fancy as ever. She was shocked when she saw Rainbow Dash. She gasped saying, "Oh my! What ever happened to poor ol' Rainbow Dash?! You're a mess!" She trotted over to her and lifted up her filthy mane. "Just look at your mane! This is awful!" Rarity remarked. She stood up gracefully. "Looks like somepony needs some tidying up! Come with me, Rainbow Dash." They trotted over to Rarity's and got Rainbow Dash all fixed up. "Well...that was kinda harder to do than expected, but you're all good as new now!" Rarity informed. It began to rain, and everypony that was already outside went inside. "Dang it! That rain's gonna mess up your mane!" She pouted. "Well, it's a good thing you were fixing ME up. I'll go take care of the rain clouds." Rainbow Dash said. She started for takeoff. "Oh, and thanks, Rarity!" She said as she was flying away.

Back at Twilight Sparkle's house

    Twilight Sparkle's little reptile assistant, Spike, came downstairs followed by a yawn. Twilight turned her head and greeted him. "Good morning, Spike." she said. "Mornin', Twilight," the purple reptile repiled. "Did you hear a crash this morning?" he continued. "Yeah, that was Rainbow Dash. She crashed-landed and a couple of our friends supported her." Twilight explained. "Oooohhh. Hey, can you try giving me a moustache again?" Spike asked. "Sure thing, Spike." she answered.

    She aimed her unihorn at Spike. The unihorn now glowed  light purple, glowing more in only seconds. Then, it shot a beam, causing a bushy moustache to appear on Spike's face. "Hmmm...maybe it's a bit TOO bushy...try it again." Spike criticized. "Spike, would it kill you to actually use manners once in a while?!" Twilight complained. "Okay, okay. Can you PLEASE change it?" Spike replied. Twilight was at it again, and another displeasing moustache appeared. This went on for about an hour, but they finally found the perfect one. "Perfect! This one's a keeper! Ahem...thank you." Spike said. "You're welcome, Spike." Twilight panted.
