Morning had arrived in Equestria. Dash seemed to be stuck in some sort of dream date with her boyfriend Soarin."Oh, I love you Soarin." She whispered to herself.Even though this was a dream, she was really kissing something. The back of Rainbows head. "Tee-hee. Stop it Soarin, that tickles." Rainbow squealed. Dash opened her eyes and with a jump, she woke up Rainbow. It took them a few minutes for them to say anything. "See? I told you it was gay!" Dash said, breaking the silence. "Were you kissing the back of my head?" Rainbow asked. "For a moment it was Soarins lips." Dash said. "Wait, theres a Soarin in your universe too?" Rainbow asked Dash. "Why yes. There is.What are we gonna do? Call him "in" in my universe?" Dash joked. "Whatever, just wash your clothes. They stink." Rainbow said.  Dash took a sniff and without speaking she went downstairs to find an empty room to get un-dressed. Rainbow decide to walk down. "Hey, so just a few questions about you "humans". Do you eat other things? Because if you dont like fruit, hay or pie thats gonna be a problem. Also, how do you tell each other apart from Female and Male?" She asked. She opened the door Dash was in and with one sight, all she could say was "Oh. Is that how?". Dash, couldnt respond to this awkward situation so she just closed the door slowly.

"Okay, so were can I wash my clothes?" Dash asked. "Just give them to me. I can drop them of by my friend Raritys house. Shes great with clothes." Rainbow explained. "You mean...you take my clothes to her? Well what will I do? I cant spend the rest of the day naked!" Dash hesitated. "Hold on. You can wear this." Rainbow said with a solution. She slid her spare wonderbolts costume under the door. Dash put it on and to her surprise, she fitted! It was amazing how she could actually fit in with the pony world even tough it all seemed so smaller to her. "This fits amazingly well! Hey, Rainbow you head off, Ill just wait here." Dash said with a bit of amazement in her voice. Rainbow left and Dash was alone. She explored the house to see what to do. Eventually she came across a book on top of a shelf. Picking it up and blowing the dust away, she read the title "A short history of Equestria". Dash decided this would be a good resource to find out some of the most important things she will need to know about Equestria, so as she gave a shrug she opened the book and started to read.

"Chapter 1: Celestia banishes her Sister. "

"It was the year of 10 centuries ago. The evil king of nightmares, Sombra had infiltrated the Canterlot kingdom. Celestia and Luna, our fellow princesses of the galaxy, could not see his menacing plan to confront them. It is unknown why Sombra hates Celestia and Luna so much but people believe that this was because of a personal hatred similar to "Romeo and Juliet". Sombras plan was to poses the body of Celestias dear sister and take over Equestria. As Lunas back was turned, Sombra leaped to life and jumped into Lunas body. With no more than the blink of an eye, Luna was possessed. Celestia shortly found herself in a battle with her dear sister. Knowing she could not kill her as she was to much of a family to do so, she thought of only the best thing she could without physically harming her by banishing her to the moon for one thousand years.

From that day and throughout now, Rumors have been spreading that Celestia did not do this to protect Equestria but as a prank. These mares and stallions known as part of the "Lunar Republic" try to bring Celestia down and lower her goodwill. In Layman's terms, They try to prove that Celestia is evil and will take anything as evidence. A small prank to being defeated in battle to even what season of the year she likes. The Lunar Republic have detached Celestia and Luna away from each-other. But however, The carriers of harmony are shown to attach them back together. However, There still seems to be no ends to the Lunar Republics made-up rumors."

"Celestia can`t be evil. She would never hurt a fly unless she had no choice. The Lunar Republic only want attention. I myself do not ever see there being any evil in Celestia"

Dash put the book down. She had only read one chapter and was already amazed. "Wow. Poor Celestia. How dare the Lunar Republic just decide shes evil just because of that! Its all here, black and white! Did they even do any research? Well, I did and when I see this Celestia folk I`m gonna give her what she needs! All the love in the world." She said. And she opened the book and continued to read.

Eventually, the afternoon came and Dash had read the whole book. As Rainbow entered her home to greet Dash, she was astonished to see her reading. "Hay Dash! Sorry I was gone for so long. I was REALLY held up in a line. I was lucky enough to get there before she closed.Anyway, she says she would like to see you in person. She likes your clothes and wants to see what you look like with them on." Rainbow said.Dash wasn`t really paying attention, but however she agreed that she would. "Sure Rainbow. I can head over to your friends place tomorrow."

"Sweet!" Rainbow said. She took a look at Dashes book. "So what are you reading?" She asked. Dash put the book down and yawned. It had been a big day for her and all she did was read. "Uh, The History of Equestria. I was thinking that since Im gonna stay here for a while I may as well brush up on some of Equestrias back story. This book has everything! From Celestia banishing her sister to Twilights alicorn-ization. Wait. So in your universe, Twilights an alicorn? My friend is a princess in this universe? Oh my god. Oh my god! Ive been hanging out with Royalty! I dont believe it! Well, I also dont believe Im speaking to a flying rainbow pony and that Im sitting in a couch in a mansion in the clouds reading a book about a alternate universe but still, Royalty!". Rainbow looked at her with a smile "Heh. You seem rather amazed by that. Ive been hanging out with her for like 5 years now. Shes an awesome friend. I guess were both really lucky to have her.". "We really are. Hey, do you mind if I sleep on the couch tonight? Its not that I dont  like you, Its just that I think i could just probably read some more." Dash said. Rainbow smiled again and laughed "Sure buddy. Nights coming anyway. I`ll leave the light on for you. Night." Rainbow said as she went upstairs. Dash got into a comfortable position and opened the next book. "The Secrets of the Alicorn Princess. Awesome!"
