Rainbow Dash, being the competitive pegasus she is, needs to prove to her friends that she is the greatest pony in Equestria. How that turns out, however, is interesting to see the least.

Okay, before I get questions about this, I should say that this story is incomplete and will probably never be finished. This was just me unleashing my horrid imagination into words and, what can I say, I'm lazy. This story is large chunks of chapters that I planned on finishing but never did. The only finished chapter here is "The winner is…" Everything else will be forever incomplete.

What starts as a normal sleepover turns into a volley of chaos as Rainbow Dash proves that she is the greatest (or at least she tries.) What little efforts that can be made will either keep the game going or throw it into terror. But sometimes, games can be more than just games. In an epic of all 6 elements can lead to more than just clean fun… and into role play war. Either way, random is the best tag for this story of mayhem.

Let's have some fun

CHAPTER ONE

Let's Have Some Fun

As Pinkie Pie stood in the library, she was being overcome with a feeling that everyone thought wasn't possible for her to feel. Anxiety. She was anxious for once, and it was at the plan she had coming. Earlier she came to Twilights Library to discuss something that sounded good to everyone. Now, she was waiting. Her eyes scanned the shelves but she didn't care what books there were. She was walking around but she didn't have anything to see. She was feeling a thing that would've made her pass out a few days ago. Pinkie Pie was bored. She had devoted her life to avoiding the feeling, but it was coming back now. Boring was evil. All it did was try and fail to fill in the empty moments of life, and made it worse by doing so. After what felt like an eternity, a familiar light tapping was coming down the stairs. The sign of another life form made Pinkie Pie happy. "Okay, I'm back, what did you want to tell me?" said the purple unicorn Twilight Sparkle, who was now in the same room as Pinkie.

"It's about a kind of party! And since it's early," answered Pinkie Pie, who flicked her pink mane toward the window, which had the light of the late morning sun seeping through it, "It can be planned today. Since you, Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash and I are off for today, we could have some sort of time together this evening,"

Twilight Sparkle raised an eyebrow. She curled her neck back and pulled a piece of paper out from upstairs with her telekinetic magic. She fashioned the flying sheet in front of her eyes and studied it. What she found is that Pinkie was right. "Wow, we all are free today," she said. The surprising sight opened her eyes up. "Maybe we should do something like that,"

"Yep! We can all spend time together now that we're free for the day. And I asked everyone yesterday, well, everyone but you, and they all said it's okay," said Pinkie Pie, who was bouncing up and down while she was talking, "so now, we just need to figure out where to have it at,"

Twilight Sparkle looked up and behind her too see upstairs. It would be a fair space for them six, so she got the idea in her mind of hosting whatever Pinkie had in mind at her home. "I guess I could have it here," she said in complementation, "what exactly do you have in mind for this evening?"

Pinkie Pies smile widened for obvious reasons, and then answered the question, saying, "Well, when I asked everyone about it one pony suggested making it a sleepover-"

"Okay! Sleepover it is!" said Twilight Sparkle, cutting off Pinkie Pie. Sleepover was exactly the answer she wanted.

"Well, I guess we should start in about eight hours. I guess you should go home and come back once I call, okay?"

"Okay! See ya later, alligator!" responded Pinkie Pie, who backed out through the door. She was gone.

Twilights smile faded soon after the door closed. She sighed and turned back into her room, now having to clean her house to add on top of all the things she needed to do today.

As she tapped into her magic, Twilight Sparkle subconsciously fixed everything in obvious sight physically while her magic fixed whatever went unnoticed. Within an hour- a very, very fast hour at that- the room was completely perfect. Except for a small closet that was covered by a false paint job, but she never dared to try to clean that place up. From what she could predict, Twilight once measured that if she tried to clean the closet up with just magic, it would kill her.

Twilight Sparkle looked around her room from the center, moderately and silently impressed by her effortless work.

"Well, looks like there's just one thing left to kill the time," she announced to herself. She telekinetically levitated herself- a feat she kept hidden for obvious reasons- unto a chair in the corner of the room. Instinctively, the purple unicorn offered herself a book from a location her physical mind didn't know and kicked herself back. "...reading." she finished. Well, that didn't take long.

Eight hours had passed since the time gap has been established. Who else to show up and not a millisecond too late or early than Pinkie Pie. The knock at the door echoed through the house, which had little more sound than the heartbeat of its owner. Twilight Sparkle once again magically opened the door while simultaneously walking towards the mare on the other side of it. "Hello Pinkie," she greeted, with her genuine smile still on from eight hours ago.

"Hello Twilight!" re-greeted the Pink mare. "So,

"Well then, I guess we should call everyone over right now i guess, since it will be night in about four hours anyway."

Twilight Sparkle once again confirmed herself of Pinkie Pies statement, seeing out the window an pre-evening sun. It was probably even a little late to hold it now, but that wouldn't stop them, of course. "Yeah, we probably should."

Twilight re entered the room that would host the sleepover she was apparently having. Her horn lit up with magic, readying the area for the visitors soon to come- along with the one that was already here. It dawned on her early that her room was completely perfect. Spike was no where to be seen- probably sleeping somewhere weird again, if anywhere. "Uhh, Pinkie Pie, you can come up here," she called down.

"I know that."

Twilight Sparkle jumped at the sight of the pink pony who had suddenly popped into the same room as her. "Okay, so, lets call up the mares down here."

One after another, each of the four still waiting mares were invited to the sleepover. Each of them said yes- Twilight and Pinkies schedules had not been off, and before the last call was made out to Fluttershy, the open window at the side of the room became the entrance of the cyan Pegasus Rainbow Dash. "Hey you two," she greeted the mares inside, "so this is what you meant by party. Eh, probably a better idea than that would've been."

"Hello Rainbow Dash," welcomed Twilight Sparkle, who had a pink friend sitting in the background, smiling as the unicorn talked, "the other three should be here soon."

I'm with senile

CHAPTER THREE

I'm With Senile

There was no mistaking the change of mood at this point in the evening. A mere two hours had passed since the last mare had stepped through the door of Golden Oaks Library, yet so much had changed since the door shut for the last time of the night. There was no physical disturbance, nor was there any word from anyone to acknowledge the fact, but it lingered in all six mares minds that something had changes during the course of their sleepover.

  "Okay, I'm pretty sure that question mark is unhealthy to touch, so no more of that," reminded Twilight Sparkle, host of the small event, "so how about something else, something a little more... appropriate."

Rainbow Dash opened her mouth, an unmistakable sign of suggestion, "How about-"

"No,

I'm with sadistic

CHAPTER FOUR

I'm With Sadistic (Rainbow Dashes story)

Hush now, quiet now.

Rainbow Dash felt it. No more playing around, this was it. Time to show the world who she really was. But always tell your friends first, of course. Rainbow had her eyes closed- they were being covered by the oversized hood she was wearing. She didn't need to see anyway. Rainbow Dash had planned this out a long time ago. It was late at night when she found herself at the familiar foot of Pinkie Pies doorstep. As she took one last creep of a step to Pinkies door, she remembered telling herself that sanity was gone. This was her purpose now. She tugged out her hands. Sleek, powerful, female hands. They didn't belong to her. Everyone was going to find that out soon.

Your first, Pinkie Pie.

Rainbow Dash curled her miss grown hand into a fist and knocked slowly and ominously on the door in front of her. These hits were going to leave a mark on them both.

                   Knock... Knock... Knock...

                   "Come in!"

                    Immediately following was the ringing of Pinkie Pie. That voice. It was so beautiful. It belonged to a fair woman who had been raised correctly. Rainbow Dash was depressed by the hard fact. If she had any sanity left, she would've cried. Her fist unraveled back and reached for the doorknob which she slowly opened. This was it. No turning back now.

The light from inside filled Rainbows eyes. Inside stood the pink haired young woman known as Pinkie Pie. She had apparently just came down from the stairs leading to her room. Pinkie was wearing her normal attire of a pink shirt and blue jeans. Probably finishing up the long day that was getting ready to end. "Hello Dashie!" she called from inside.

"Hello, Pinkie Pie," said Rainbow Dash. This was too much for her to handle. She wanted to snap, go completely insane and drop dead on the ground. The only thing stopping her was the fact she had already done that. Rainbow was a broken branch that was trying to disintegrate. She couldn't though. No matter how much she wanted it to stop, time kept moving. All Rainbow could do was move with it.

"What brings you here this evening?" asked Pinkie Pie. Rainbow couldn't say it. It would get them both killed. She quickly came up with an excuse. Something that made her smile. Why did it you may ask? Because it made sense. Rainbows existence had become distorted in her mind. To have a step towards perfection, as small as it may be, made her happy.

"I got locked out of my place and I thought is should crash here for the night," she said. Perfect. Her smile quickly faded though, as she didn't have the mental capacity to feel joy. Not at a time like this.

"Oh, okay, if thats all you need. I was about to go to sleep anyway, so you going to sleep now or later, it's not a problem with me, as long as its nothing crazy like three more hours. Long day you know?"

Rainbow Dash felt a tear roll down her face. She loved Pinkie Pie. She would've never thought of doing what she was about to do before she lost sanity. But this was it. She didn't have a choice anymore. It put her through extreme pain to know that this would be the last she heard from Pinkie Pie. "Yes," she said simply.

"Okay, do you need a change of clothes or anything?"

Pinkie cared about her. Every sign of good made Rainbow Dash shiver. Why did fate have to pick her for the next three days? It wasn't fair! "No, thanks,"

"Well then, feel free to come up here at anytime you want!"

Rainbow Dash stepped further inside Pinkies house. She unzipped her blue jacket, and then followed Pinkie Pie up the stairs. At the top, she looked back and smiled. Her life had been good to her up until this point. It was gone now. She resigned her humanity, looking down at the last step the humane Rainbow Dash had taken, and then entered the bedroom of the first victim.

She found Pinkie Pie sitting on her bed. No appreciative emotions this time, just thoughts on her next step. Her mouth and eyes formed a deep, evil smirk. Here it goes. "Ha, hahahahaha," she laughed, fitting her expression.

Pinkie Pie raised an eyebrow. She didn't say anything funny, did she?

Rainbow Dash put a tight hand on Pinkies shoulder. It was soft, just like she knew it would be. The playful terror in her mind mutated into a maniacal plan. She let out another laugh, this time it sounded... male. Like the person would have to be a man to have that kind of a voice. Pinkie Pie was a bit scared by this, thanks to the time. The darkness of the night gave her the correct thoughts.

"Dashie, what are you doing?" she said cautiously.

Rainbow Dash's voice then turned into something that resembled a female murderer.  "You women are so... soft. So dangerously vulnerable. I'm going to show you that," she said, pressuring Pinkies arm with unusual force.

Pinkie flushed something out of her mind, which would turn out to be a bad idea. She then just replied with imposed insulting, "What? Your a woman too!" she said. There were many other things she could've said instead of that. But the one she chose would turn out to be worst one she could say.

"Hah," said Rainbow Dash in the same voice. "You are going to be so angry after today,"

Pinkie Pie was getting very scared. This was very unusual. Very... unnatural. Rainbow didn't look intoxicated. What was up with her? "What are you saying?"

"You will find out soon," said Rainbow Dash. She eyed Pinkie Pies chest. It looked slightly twitchy. She slowly put her hand over Pinkies heart, clamping her other one on Pinkies shoulder tightly. She felt what she wanted to. Pinkie Pies heart was beating rapidly, probably from the fear. She curled her grin into something that would be recognizable as a sign of rape. "You are smart to be scared," she said.

"Wh-"

Rainbow Dash forcefully shoved Pinkie Pie flat along her bed. She pulled out a knife from her pocket, which was apparently shaped in as a holster. Pinkie Pie was hit with a wave of terror. The hard truth came to her that she was about to be murdered. How could  her friend, of all people, be the one to carry out the 0.3 % chance of this event? Especially Rainbow Dash! How could Rainbow change so much in a mere five minutes? Pinkie closed her eyes, in flashed acceptance of her newly found fate. She simply yet out a small yelp, only to be followed by a scream as Rainbow Dash jabbed the knife through her free shoulder.

Rainbow Dash took in her newly found position, then made a gutting motion with the knife still in Pinkies shoulder, all while she was still screaming in pain. Rainbow made one last slash towards Pinkie collar bone, then switched to the shoulder she had been clamping. She copied her motion, with her free hand on Pinkies bloody shoulder, while Pinkies screams worsened. Rainbow Dash had aligned her knees along Pinkie Pies to prevent her from struggling free. When she finished her motion, she lifted her free hand and turned it over, seeing how bloody it was. She made a smirked giggle, and then raised it to her hair, painting her orange and yellow stripes to the same color as her red one. She stabbed the knife under Pinkies collar and left it there. She then moved her hands down beyond Pinkies recognition of thought.

Pinkie Pie was crying now. Not just from the pain, but from the thought. She was being murdered by her friend. How could this happen? It was more painful than the actual stabbing. Any other time, she would've thought this was some sort of cruel game. But how could this be a game? The untouched mind energy was taken in, and she asked a question, "I- is this a joke?" she said painfully. She forced her eyes open and prayed that the answer would be yes. She saw Rainbow Dash's face above her chest, now looking down at her. A drop of her own blood seeped off Rainbows hair and splattered on her.

"No," said Rainbow Dash simply. Pinkie closed her eyes and tried to go to sleep. She didn't want to see the end of this. But she was woken up by a tugging pain between her legs. She eyed down to see something that made her think she was dreaming. Rainbow Dash was... raping her! But that wasn't possible, was it? Rainbow Dash was a woman. She had all the appearances to be female. But it was true, that all these years Rainbow Dash was a hyper-transsexual man. She felt the one pain one last time. Her life was over now, which she would have to accept. She laid back her head and closed her eyes, still crying. Rainbow Dash pulled the knife out of Pinkie Pies collar, and put it between her chin and neck. Pinkie Pie didn't see of Rainbow killed her then, since she passed out before Rainbow stabbed her.

LUST

Rainbow Dash stood up on Pinkies bed, then slowly lifted the shiny blood stained knife to his face. In his reflection, he saw the killer he had become. His hair was drooped over her right eye from the blood, which was stained red in it. His smile was evil, one that only a maniac could have. This was who he had become. Rainbow eyed the back window, and then ran to it. He kicked the glass into shards, then looked back at the virtually dead Pinkie Pie. He made on last smirk at the sight, then jumped out the window.

Rainbow Dash slightly opened one eye and saw her ten wide eyes staring at her. Her five friends were surprised by the unexpected nature of Rainbows story. They all gulped, especially Pinkie Pie, and then listened on as Rainbow Dash continued the story.

The next day, Scootaloo found herself in the cafeteria of her school. It was a usual routine of hers, like everyone who attended there. What she didn't expect was a hand pulling her out of the stream of children entering through the school. She expected it to be one of the Cutie Mark Crusaders, but instead, it was Rainbow Dash.

"Hey there, Scoots!" she said happily. Scootaloo noticed dark edges on the orange and yellow stripes of her hair. It looked sort of majestic, actually, as the red outline shined in the light coming from the door. "You been doing good?"

"Well, yeah, anyway, why are you here?"

Rainbow Dash kneeled down and pulled a small black envelope out of her pocket. It was simply labeled, To Scootaloo. She gently handed it over to the purple haired girl in front of her.

"What's this?" asked Scootaloo, who raised an eyebrow at this sight.

"It's a note. Please don't read it until Wednesday, in 3 days. I'm giving it to you now since this is the only place I knew you'd be," said Rainbow. There was a hint of sadness in Rainbow Dashes voice, as if she was handing over her last writing.

"Um, okay. Why can't I open it now?"

"Please, just don't do it," said Rainbow. She suddenly looked at her wrist, which housed a watch she was apparently wearing. "Oh man, I gotta go. Remember what I said," and with that she ran off. Scootaloo turned back and walked over to her class. As she went through her day, she kept wondering what was on the note. She would often pull it out of her pocket and stare at it. The golden words of her name beamed at her each time. Still, she followed Rainbow Dashes word and didn't open it. Towards the end of her first class, she eyed Rainbow Dash walking by the door. Why was she still here? she thought. Didn't Rainbow have to leave for something? Why was she back?

Eventually, through the repetitive day, the bell rang to go to lunch. Once again, she was pulled out of line to no ones notice by Rainbow Dash. "What are you doing here?" she asked her.

Rainbow Dashes expression was very mad. "Scootaloo, get out of here. It's not safe. Go home," she said.

"I can't do that, what'll people think if-"

"No. You need to get out of here. Run."

"I can't-"

"RUN!"

Scootaloo nodded to Rainbow Dashes command. She turned around to go get her backpack from inside the classroom. Inside, she was trembling. She had known those words to well... and they never meant good. When she exited, she saw Rainbow Dash nod her head towards the back door. Scootaloo turned around and ran towards the door.

Rainbow Dash turned toward the door next to Scootaloos class. He exited and walked around the side of the school. He stood outside a back window of the cafeteria and pulled out his weapon of shame. An illegal flare gun. In his other hand he pulled out his knife. Last night he arranged Pinkie Pies dry blood to where it covered his eyes. He stared into its reflection, with his smile looking maniacal with his eyes covered. Rainbow Dash was a madman and he knew it. He grew to love it last night. He looked inside the window, and saw so many children inside. He saw that it would be too noticeable if he attacked from this position, so he wrapped around to the corner of the cafeteria. In the unnoticed window, Rainbow silently picked away the glass, making an opening just big enough to fit the flare guns end through. He aimed the barrel through, and then fired. The chaos had begun.

Immediately following the sight there came screaming from inside the school. Rainbow Dashes flare gun was far more powerful than he had thought it would be, since the fire was zipping angrily alone the back wall he had fired at much faster than a normal fire would. Soon the majority of the back wall was engulfed in flames. Rainbow Ducked behind the wall outside- if he was caught, this would be over. After that he re-concealed the gun under his blue jacket and ran to the back entrance where Scootaloo had left from. As he entered he pulled the gun back out, and fired it behind two children who were running his way, blocking off the path. Rainbow eyed the two girls and then laughed. They were his targets.

When the two girls ran past him, he caught them by the back of their shirts. Slaughter time.

"Where do you think you two are going?" he said to them as they toppled from his pull. The two looked up at him in horror. They expected a response along the lines of 'That exits blocked off' or something. What they got back was iron finish.

"Diamond Tiara and Moonlight Shimmer, the two most disgusting children on the planet," said Rainbow Dash, who had his knife out, pointing it at them.

"What are you doing?" yelled Diamond Tiara, who had her eyes focused on the blade. The eyes of horror were staring back at her, with  the eyes of a killer staring down at her.

"Revenge, what else?" said Rainbow Dash. He smiled manically, then pointed the knife at Moonlight Shimmer. "You, your a bitch, just like your sister," he said, with a demonic screeching in his voice. He rushed at Moonlight Shimmer at pushed her down, stabbing her in the back repeatedly. He stood up, blood seeping all over the floor below him. He reached down at his victim, seeing that she was still alive. Her entire back was covered in blood, with blood being coughed up. Rainbow put a foot over the dying girl, and applied pressure that made her vomit. Rainbow picked up the victim by her shoulders and pulled her over to the lit fire. He forced her eyes open with her fingers, and then dropped her into the flames. One down.

Then her looked over at Diamond Tiara, who was staring at the murderer in horror. "And you, how dare you show your face in this school. You are a disgrace to humanity," he said to her in the same way he did Moonlight Shimmer. Diamond Tiara bolted away, extremely fast. Rainbow Dash then took out the flare gun again, and shot her. He heard the screams of terror coming from the burning child as she fell to the ground covered in flames. Rainbow Dash eerily walked over to her, looking down at his victim. Diamond Tiara just screamed in pain as she burned to death. When she was dead. Rainbow looked down at her, laughing. He then heard sirens. Firemen. Rainbow opened his eyes wide and then ran out of the school, away from anyone's sight, with a bloodthirsty mind on pure crude violence.

WRATH

When he reached his house an hour later, he walked inside and made his way towards his bed. He sat down on it, and laughed. He just sat there laughing for an hour. He was a murderer now. Three people were dead because of him, two of which were children. It felt... satisfying.

Then, he adjusted his eyes to look at a lone picture on his shelf. He had made sure to not look at it yesterday, it would be too painful. A picture of himself, with Pinkie Pie, Twilight Sparkle, Rarity, Fluttershy and Applejack. His friends. One was dead, or so she should be. Rainbow Dash had blood on his hands- from his friend and from children, the two worst people you could think of hurting. Yet he did it.

And he liked it. Rainbow Dash looked at her actual hands, and once again saw blood on them. He turned and entered the bathroom in his house, and brought his hands over to the sink. But however hard he scrubbed, the blood stains would not come off. Rainbow lifted her sight to the mirror, and found himself locked in the eyes of a killer. He lifted his bloody hands, and then rubbed them down his face from his eyes. Normally, a person would've questioned his existence and passed out. But Rainbow Dash simply... smiled, like he always did. The only way to cover it up was his combat gloves. He had hoped to not use them so soon, but now he had no choice, He pulled the two black gloves off the counter that the sink was placed on and covered his hands up, with only his crimson fingertips showing. Then, he walked back over to the picture of him and his friends. He eyed Pinkie Pie, who was dead. Rainbow lifted the knife from the shelf and slashed Pinkie Pies face. The cut seeped down into another one of the girls in the picture. Fluttershy. She was next.

It didn't take long to arrive at the cottage that belonged to Fluttershy. Rainbow had found her outside, feeding and handling an unfamiliar python. It was precariously wrapped behind her neck, with its head resting on Fluttershys outstretched forearm. Fluttershy was feeding it what looked like dead mice, which was slightly disturbing due to Fluttershys previously established love for animals. Rainbow Dash watched and waited. Fluttershy apparently didn't noticed her at all, since she moved on to feeding all of her animals after the snake. Rainbow Dash silently waited without impatience for the two hours it took for Fluttershy to finish. When she finally did, Fluttershy gently walked around to the side of the house Rainbow Dash was by, not noticing her until their eyes were locked in the exact same positions.

"Oh, hello Rainbow Dash," she said in her normal light voice. Fluttershy was seemingly carefree today by how she had ignored Rainbows presence even after looking at her several times.

"Hi, Fluttershy," said Rainbow Dash back to her.

"Um, what are you doing here today?"

"I wanted to come by, I kind of got locked out of my house," said Rainbow Dash with the same reason she used for Pinkie Pie. Her voice stayed the exact same tone through out her speaking. The same bland, low, and eerie tone.

"Oh, um, well, are you going to stay the night or something?"

Rainbow Dash knew the answer to that, but it wouldn't make sense to say that. "Yes," she said instead.

"Oh, okay, well lets go inside for right now,"

Inside the cottage the two women sat down on the lone couch in Fluttershys living room. Rainbow Dash noticed a problem - she had to act at night. Evening was still a few hours away, and Rainbow couldn't drag out a conversation for that long. Then there came a thought that was, in essence, her only one. The fire.

"Uh, Fluttershy, why don't we watch some TV or something?" she said, with her words being scrambled. Her sanity was gone, so what was keeping her from murdering her target right then? The answer was for the same reason. There was one thing that she craved more than blood. Fear.

"Uh, okay," said Fluttershy, who picked up the remote that was resting next to her phone, untouched. She turned on the corresponding television to the coincidental scene of the news. Rainbow Dash tried to hide a smile, which was triggered by what was projected on the TV. A scene of the fire she started earlier. It was cut to the a scene of firefighters putting out the inferno. Fluttershy heard all the horror coming from the report. All Rainbow Dash saw was herself.

"Earlier today, an inferno erupted from the back wall of this school cafeteria. The blaze burned down the majority of the wall and surrounding classrooms, and took the life of two young girls, Diamond Tiara and Moonlight Shimmer..."

Fluttershy's eyes were wide, with tears hypothetically filling under them. Rainbow Dashes eyes were also wide, but under hers were blood.

"...Shimmer was found with stab wounds around her back along with burns in her autopsy. It is unknown how these wounds were inflicted, but it might have something to do with the same reason the fire was set..."

Fluttershys eyes were painfully wide now, which were on the verge of being bloodshot. "St- stabbed? How could she be-"

"I saw Scootaloo leave school before the fire. You think she has something to do with it?" said Rainbow Dash, cutting off Fluttershy.

SLOTH

"Wait, Scootaloo? Do you think that she's- no, she's too young, isn't she?"

Rainbow Dash felt the biggest wave of guilt any human could feel. She had blamed the fires on a person she loved. How could anyone, even her, do that? The answer was insanity.

"Yeah, probably. Still kind of' weird, though."

Rainbow looked outside. It was getting late. Glancing back over at Fluttershy, she felt something that was... beautiful. "Uh, lets go upstairs. I want to tell you something."

"Okay."

Rainbow Dash was quick to get up and head to the upstairs room that belonged to Fluttershy. Inside she closed her eyes and exhaled, releasing the stress that was on her. Rainbow gently sat down on the inside bed and waited. The wait didn't take long as soon she was re-greeted by the pink haired woman who had followed her. Fluttershy set herself down next to her friend, then asked the expected question of, "So, what did you want to tell me?"

Rainbow Dash again looked out the window. Evening. The time was right. Rainbow felt a wave of guilt, for having this cruel night planned out so... eerily. There was no conversation, not even a goodbye. But the farewell Rainbow had in mind for Fluttershy was going to go unnoticed by the little sense of humanity Rainbow Dash still had in her. Pulling out the knife and stabbing Fluttershy would be a better ending for her than what Rainbow had planned. But it was too late now.

"I have things I've never told you, Fluttershy," said Rainbow Dash, in a low, monotonous voice, "tonight will be the worst night we've ever had in our lives."

Fluttershy was instinctively worried by this. Fear was her most sensitive emotion. "Wha- what do you mean?" she said.

Rainbow Dash let a tear roll from her eye, the same way she had done with another pink haired girl, "Feel between my legs." she said, seemingly ignoring the feeling she was supposed to get.

Fluttershy was withdrawn from fear and met with curiosity. Who tells somebody that? "Wait, what?"

"Do it."

Fluttershy felt a blush escape her face, as she slowly obeyed Rainbow Dash. As her hand reached the spot, Fluttershy felt the most bizarre feeling she ever could. She felt male genitalia. As she pulled her hand back, the blush on her face turned into a shiver, and her closed eyes shot open. "Are you... male?"

Rainbow Dash sighed, and closed his eyes. "Yep. I've been keeping that from everyone forever. You know now. And you should know something else, too," He reached his arm around Fluttershys shoulders and rested his palm on the far joint. "I love you,"

Fluttershys blush intensified as she heard this. It somehow felt shocking and yet better, knowing that it was coming from a male. But how could Rainbow Dash be male? She was obviously female from appearance, with feminine facial features and hair, along with female breast. But if she was unable to reproduce, which she was, it made her male. But that wasn't on top of her mind now. A somehow male Rainbow Dash just told her he loved her. Was Fluttershy dreaming? There was no way this was real.

Rainbow Dash pulled himself closer to Fluttershy and forced the girls lips onto his own, pulling her into a kiss that was wet, dark, and somehow evil. Fluttershys eyes shot open before melting into the kiss, with the blush sent back to her cheeks.

Rainbow wasn't feeling any emotions that would relate to this moment. Instead, he was filled with hate. When he broke the silent kiss, he almost immediately went back in, this time jabbing his tongue between Fluttershys lips and prying them open with unusual force. Once the girls lips were open, Rainbow Dash slid his tongue between them, pinning Fluttershys tongue to the bottom of her mouth. The whole time Rainbow Dashes eyes were eerily shut, until he broke the kiss a second time and turned away from Fluttershy. Rainbow Dash sighed, in a way that sounded like he was gasping for air.

"That was terrible I shouldn't have done that," he said, back now facing Fluttershy, who slowly let a hand creep up towards Rainbow Dashes shoulder. Rainbow did nothing in response, instead he just sighed again.

"Why?" squeaked Fluttershy, who inched closer to her Rainbow haired friend. One word rang in her head over and over without any answer. Male.

Rainbow felt a tear roll down his face again, the last one being the one he let out before this spree. "Because,"

"Because why?"

"'Because... I have to do this."

Rainbow Dash turned towards Fluttershy and sent his arms towards hers and pinned her down with incredible force. Once again he pulled out his knife and put it to Fluttershys neck, now smiling manically. His thoughts seemed to shift completely, laughing behind his teeth. Fluttershy was only able to let out a small yelp before her voice was locked by the blade below her chin.

"Ahhh, what time is it?"

Rainbow Dash awoke from her deep slumber. She still had no idea why everyone was avoiding her as best as they could. If they were mad at her, they would've kicked her out by now. But they didn't- everyone just stared at her without emotion. What was that supposed to mean?

The cyan Pegasus arched her back forward, puting her hooves behind her as she pushed herself into a sitting position. Her first direction to look was down, of course, eyeing the miniature Pinkie Pie plush still laying in the sleeping bag. Rainbow Dash reached down in for it and picked it up subconsciously. She really was attached to it. As her eyes focused into the room around her, she noticed that everyone was still asleep. A quick look at the windows justified this.

It was dark. Very dark. 3:00 at the latest. Apparently Rainbow Dashes sleep wasnt so deep. Rainbow Dash pulled her bottom half out of the sleeping bag and shifted it behind her, standing up. The only sound in the air was the soft breathing of the five mares that were still asleep. Rainbow Dash took flight once again, and then a dark idea came into her head. Thinking back on the story she has told earlier that night, the idea was more terrifying than any that had previously entered her mind.

One quick look at Pinkie Pie was enough to flush the thought out of Rainbow Dashes mind immediately. No pony- no- nothing living would think of possibly doing that to their friends. Rainbow Dashes eyes stared away in self embarrassment at the window, with moonlight and starlight seeping in from the thin glass, providing what little light they could to the silent room.

Rainbow Dashes eyelids drooped down at the sight. She looked down at her sleeping bag, with the rainbow lightning cloud gleaming on the cyan fabric. Soon she landed from her hover and slumped back into the sleeping bag and embraced the pinkie pie plush once again. "Gah, just go back to sleep," she mumbled to herself, before obeying her own command.

Rainbow Dash had to wake herself up. Despite all five of her friends waking up before her, none of them would wake up the sleeping Pegasus. When Rainbow Dash opened her eyes, she found out why.

"BOO!"

Wait, no, that was just her imagination.

Rainbow Dash propped herself up with her hooves behind her back and slid out of the sleeping bag. With the Pinkie Pie plush in hoof, she took flight and scanned the room below her. No one around. At the realization, Rainbows attention was directed to the vacant staircase that lay parallel to the cluster of cutie- marked sleeping bags that broke away from the one belonging to the last pony in the room.

Instinctively, Rainbow Dash flew down the wooden steps aimlessly and was met by a second empty room. Twilight Sparkles house was empty. In order to follow her friends path, Rainbow exited through the doors and was finally met with the targeted life forms. The other five elements of harmony were all perched into a tree (for some reason) and were unnoticeably chatting to one another. Despite four out of five of them catching a glimpse of the missing Pegasus, no one acknowledged her presence.

"Hello," called up the cyan mare to the supportive branches of her friends. For a second, it seemed as if they had ignored he again, before the white unicorn on one of the branches directed her attention to the caller.

"Oh, hello Rainbow Dash. We honestly thought you were going to sleep in all day," responded Rarity, with a fitting expression on her face. She was sitting alone on her branch, with one hoof supporting her with her hind legs and the other wrapped around the trunk.

Yeah, sure you did. thought Rainbow Dash, who resumed her flight to meet her friends above. But, as she met her fellow mares at twelve feet up, both unicorns teleported themselves and their three counterparts back to the ground, as if Rainbow was a repellant.

Annoyed, Rainbow Dash flew back to her friends that had teleported "down" and stood alongside them. Something that Rainbow Dash had noticed the previous day is that, under chances, her and the other elements could be off for two more days. Although that would mean no sick employes (or relatives) the mothers do their jobs for once, that the 99% chance of a hurricane is wrong, and so many other things would have to happen. But there's always a chance.

"So, since we also have today off..." began Pinkie Pie. Wow. Apparently there IS always a chance. "what do you want to do now? I personally think we should enter the ski-comp-eh-tition..."

"YES!" agreed Rainbow Dash, abruptly. "I mean... Yeah, that's a good idea. At least what I had in mind. For maybe or maybe not a few years."

"Okay... Now, what did you have in mind, Rainbow Dash?" questioned Twilight Sparkle, who raised an eyebrow at the random suggestion.

"Well, as it turns out, a competition was announced a few days ago, and whoever can make the best comedy skit will win bragging rights and an engraved name on a pillar of town hall. Which, while we already have one, would be the only ponies to have their name twice on there," finished Rainbow Dash.

"That, was ex-act-ly what I had in mind, too!" added Pinkie Pie, who bounced for emphasis. Who could be another psychic?

"Okay, that still doesn't answer my question," stated Twilight, who was becoming slightly annoyed herself, "what is your idea?"

Well, that wasnt good. Rainbow Dash had another talent than athleticism. But her idea for a skit, was not exactly too exciting, although it would without a doubt win. "Well, its parodied first-world problems."

The five listening pairs of eyes shot open at those six words. What did that mean, anyway? That was pretty strait foward as is, and parrodied? How exactly to you parody that?

"And how do you plan to do that?" Asked Twilight Sparkle, who kept her brow raised.

Rainbow Dash grinned maniacally, and then responded. "Like this."

Rainbow Dash looked at the wooden planked stage in aw- she had outdone herself this time. The cabinet lined one way door hung in the corner of the small setup, with a desk and office chair complementing it to fit the scene. Although it was not professional- it was still quite good.

"Now, for this, I will assign rolls," began Rainbow Dash, who hovered hypocritically over her demanded "directors chair", "and so I will start with the most obvious one. Pinkie Pie, you will be the sad hopeless evil genius who doesn't know his own power."

Pinkie Pies wide open grin spoke for its speechless owner, as her eyes sparkled in approval.

"Okay, so the genius is going to be the centered main character. That means, that every time Pinkie has a line, the entire scene should be silent except for her," stated Rainbow Dash in the same position.

"Now, the first scene is Pinkie Pie stationed at the back of the stage. This will introduce the genius's character. Now, Pinkie, see if you can make some lines with your part."

Pinkie Pie separated from the watching five mares and stood in the spot of order, then began to speak. "HAH!" she chortled, in an accent resembling stereotypical German, "I can fancy up an amazing plan in an instant! And this time, THIS time, it WILL work."

"Good," judged Rainbow Dash, "now that brings us to the second role. Rarity is the evil genius's superior servant."

Rarity put a hoof to her chest, "Superior servant? Why is he the boss of me if I'm superior?" she asked.

"Because, Pinkie Pie is going to be an average Brainy evil genius. He will be in charge, but his servant will do most of everything. Now, let's see if you can scrape together a few lines or something." replied Rainbow Dash.

"Actually," cut off Rainbow Dash from Rarities readied dialogue, "I just remembered. The servant is completely silent except for one line. Well fix that once we get to the script. Now that leads us to the scrip girl. Fluttershy, you will bring in the theme of this. You and Twilight Sparkle will complain a lot about first world problems that aren't really first world problems. These lines are fixed again, so we'll plan them later," she said subsequently.

"Okay. I still don't get it though," said Twilight Sparkle.

"Now, Applejack, you will be the annoyed protagonist. Your character will be based around a adventurer that is annoyed by everyone around her. This will help make a sense of mood," continued Rainbow Dash, aiming her eyes at the accommodating orange mare.

"So ah just get mad at everyone?" replied Applejack.

"Pretty much."

"Okay the opening scene will begin with the scrip girls and the protagonist starting a multi cry. Start in a melodic tone and add one mare every second, lifting your heads up as you begin."

The three subjected ponies complied immediately, beginning with Fluttershy who raised her eyes to the sky and began her melodic oh. Soon added Twilight Sparkle, then Applejack. The three mares were good at timing, but their combined sound was awful. There was Fluttershy, who came out as A high pitched squeak, Twilight Sparkle who was way too loud, and Applejack, who couldn't sing for the life of her, who came out as a series of cracks and flat pitches. Soon, the sound became ear numbing.

Rainbow Dash covered her ears in a cringe, trying to block out the terrible sound. Behind her eyelids, her pupils shrunk as did her temper, which deflated to a plonk mark in size from its previous infinite stature. Soon, she became outraged.

"CUT! CUT! CUT! STOP THE DAN-MN-NN NOISE!" she yelled. The three subjected mares soon complied, setting their silent heads down in unison.

"Okay, scrap that part. I am not listening to that again."

Rainbow Dashes attention turned to Pinkie Pie, with her cringe faded back to her normal meaningless stare. "Now, Pinkie Pie, what did I tell you about your expressed line?"

"To do it like this," answered Pinkie Pie, as she formed a confining half growl at the director, "I'VE DONE IT!"

"Good. That everyone is what's known as a end dramatic line. When these come on, the everyone else must be completely silent, or it will lose its affect. Now, in the midst of things comes a stunt scene. Rarity, put in the ice cream now."

"I'm on it." complied Rarity, whose horn glowed brighter than the sun at that moment.

Within a second, the scrip girls and Applejack were swept up from under their hooves in a gigantic pile of Ice cream. All three mares disappeared into the icy substance before popping their heads out, Fluttershy being the only one to stay on the pile. The yellow Pegasus shivered her way to the top of the pile.

"THATS NOT WHAT I MEANT!" yelled Rainbow Dash once again, this time aiming her shockwave at no one. Her attention now turned to Pinkie Pie, who stood on the stage unnoticed.

"Go help clean up Applejack," she said, sending the pink mare on her first job. "Now the scrip girls are going to be ranting about unnecessary bestiality hoaxes."

"Action."

Twilight Sparkle didn't do anything at all, while Fluttershy simply continued dabbing her tongue at the ice cream below her. "What was that?" she said, lifting her head up.

Rainbow Dashes short temper burst. "YOUR All Bucking idiots!" she ranted to the air. Despite her volume, no one noticed her scream to the air.

Rainbow stormed over to the four mares on the contradicting side of the stage. "If we're ever to get this thing off the ground, were gonna need some de-cap-I-tat-ion." Fluttershy semi- obeyed and dug her face back into the ice cream.

"Okay, you mean like this?" said Twilight Sparkle, redirecting her attention to the now clean Applejack, "Help me, you beautiful queen!"

"That's not my part," said Applejack, turning away from her addresser.

Rainbow Dash turned around and stomped her way back to Rarity on the other edge of the stage. "We have got to get on with this dumb thing!"

"That's right!" Agreed Rarity,"But what about my part?"

Rainbow stared blankly at the white unicorn, before almost being pierced by Rarity's horn.

"What about the billion bit superior servant?" she asked again.

"Are you really going to let ALL THIS BEAUTY go to waste?" she asked for the third time, now with a hint of annoyed in her voice.

"Yep." answered Rainbow Dash assuringly.

"What we need is a script," stated Rainbow Dash.

"A well written, thought out script!" added Rarity.

"Go organize something for this, Rainbow Dash. Because this is not going to work out the way were planning right now," chimed in Twilight Sparkle.

"I'll do just that!" complied Rainbow Dash, "I'll take Fluttershy with me back to the house. The rest of you, practice your damn act."

Rainbow Dash turned away from the crowd and walked off the stage with her fellow Pegasus by her side. Not even away from the setup and she was already nervous.

"Go write the best story in Equestria Rainbow Dash!"

That didn't help.

At Twilight Sparkles house, Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy sat down and let out a deep breath that they wish they hadn't had to hold.

"Okay," started Rainbow Dash, "to write a script, you have to know what your story is about," she said to herself, a yellow Pegasus by her side.

Rainbow Dash walked into Twilight Sparkles room, and settled herself onto the chair seated accompanying a matching desk, taking a pen between her teeth in the process while a blank sheet of paper store up at her from the desk, which seemed to be placed there in preparation of a situation like this. Or maybe just to write down a massive to-do list most likely.

"So, how does this story go by the way?" asked Fluttershy, who followed her cyan counterpart into the room with her.

"Well... I guess it would be easier to write it down," replied Rainbow Dash, who set down the pen and bent her upper body towards her questioner.

A magenta eye tracked back to the paper it had been previously looking at, and dragged its owners mouth back down to the pen, which it picked up and began writing.

"Ah don't think its a good ideah to let that numbskull write this thing out," stated Applejack to her other three mares, who had stayed behind while the Pegasus's left.

"Well, I don't think we had another option," said Twilight Sparkle, "do you have an idea for 'parodied first world problems'?"

"Eh, ah guess not... maybe your right."

"I just hope this doesn't turn out to be a waste of time, like how last years thing went," commented Rarity, who stepped in on the conversation.

"Shut up. I never want to be reminded of that again," snapped Twilight Sparkle at her fellow unicorn.

"Calm down. Remember what Rainbow said, 'practice your act.' We're going off one sentence apiece, we should probably get to that," suggested Rarity, which would immediately prove to be the idea of choice. So the four mares did just that.

"We're back eggheads."

Rainbow Dash returned from Twilights house with Fluttershy silently by her side, and soon passed by her fellow mares with a full 22 page script in her hooves. The responding look was one of ignorance. Rainbow Dash set the papers on the foot of her stage and backed away from them, expecting similar action to their earlier behavior towards the newly written script, but to her surprise no such event occurred.

"Hey Rainbow, why don't ya do somethin' about this ice cream? It's startin to attract pest," spoke Applejack, who was by the white pile of order.

"Yeah, we should probably get rid of that," agreed the subjected Pegasus, as she turned to the white unicorn next to her, "Hey Rarity, remember that reflecting thing I told you about?"

"Yes, and I have mastered it. Although it was annoying having to test it," replied Rarity, who thought back to her experience with the spell in question.

"Good, I say we use that to clear that stuff," said Rainbow Dash, pointing to the ice cream.

"I don't think that's a good idea. Don't you remember wha-"

"Just do it," insisted Rainbow Dash.

Rarity climbed onto the stage and waited for Rainbow Dash to set up the spell. The cyan Pegasus flew towards the sky quickly and instantly spotted what she needed. A cloud. Moving quickly, she made for her fore hooves to press down on the top of the fluffy white cloud, and pushed it downwards. Further and further, until she reached the point where the cloud was only a few feet above the Ice cream pile.

"Okay, start in on the count of three," started Rainbow Dash to Rarity, readying her hind legs for a kick, "three, two, one, NOW!"

Rarity sent a jolt of magic towards the cloud as Rainbow Dashes back hooves clashed with it, turning the bright yellow lightning bolt that would usually spawn a six colored rainbow refraction, and watched in aw as the "rainbow bolt" struck the ice cream below, obliterating it into water.

Rainbow Dash thought that was the end of the spell, but was completely caught off guard when a second HUGE rainbow bolt exploded from under the thunder cloud, hitting the now cleared stages wood planks and annihilating them, along with everything within a hundred yards of it. All six mares were instantly sent flying through the air, landing just outside a gigantic crater left behind from the explosion. All of them had there faces covered in ash and dirt, especially for Rainbow Dash, who had half her head stuck in the ground.

When her eyes met above land, she was met by two furious pairs of pupils staring her down. The eyes were unmistakable- belonging to Twilight Sparkle and Applejack.

"Boy are you stupid Rainbow Dash," began the furious earth pony Applejack, inching a forehoof closer to the cyan Pegasus, who was lying down on the ground, all legs spread along the dirt.

"You blew up half the forest, along with those papers that took six hours to write," continued Twilight Sparkle.

Aw buck, I've screwed this one up a bit. thought Rainbow Dash as her two scolders looked down on her. Inside, something else churned inside. Not guilt, but anger. And not at the mistake, but at its successors.

"Well, it could've gone right if you hadn't distracted the system, egghead," replied Rainbow Dash, causing Applejacks eyes to wide but Twilight Sparkles to only shrink in more anger. And that wasn't to blame- Rainbow Dash had no idea where she was going with this.

"What are you saying?" questioned Twilight Sparkle, pushing her head further out at the dirt covered Pegasus.

Rainbow Dash stood up, then followed the same path as the purple unicorn in front of her, "I'm saying, that I'm tired of you thinking you've been gifted by God in your little magic act and feel that if something goes wrong it gives you the right to go insane."

"That's coming from the mare that does the same thing."

Well, that relieved Rainbow Dash a bit that Twilight hadn't questioned the relevance of her argument, since such action would have left Rainbow Dash speechless.

"Hah, at least I didn't almost kill ponies over stupid cupcakes. And I can prove that your so called 'royalty' doesn't change damn anything about your ability."

"And how do you plan to do that?"

Rainbow Dash picked up a conveniently placed (or launched?) paper that sided next to her, then shoved it in front of the unicorns eyes.

Twilight Sparkle telekinetically grabbed the paper out of Rainbows hoof with little resistance and shifted it into a more comfortable reading position. The paper read a ten-bullet rule sheet for a race of some sort.

"What is this?" asked the purple unicorn.

"The Equestrian foot race," replied Rainbow Dash, "Lost in history, but still in memory. I can show you real talent."

"Your saying you want me to race you at this?" asked Twilight Sparkle, lifting her eyes from the paper.

A grin rose to Rainbow Dashes face. She looked at Applejack, who had backed away from the two of them, and then farther back, at Rarity, Fluttershy, and Pinkie Pie. I can take them, she thought.

"Yep. In fact, I bet I could beat all five of you at once in it," she answered, the smug grin still on.

Twilight Sparkle stepped back and took on a new expression of disbelief and disapproval, then opened her mouth to accompany her thoughts, "Your not serious, right?" she asked.

Rainbow Dash spread her wings out and started in a hover before her unicorn friend, a smirk plastered on her face. "I'm serious, and I'll do it too. I can beat you and the other elements of harmony at once."

Twilight Sparkle laughed behind her closed teeth, that now formed upward at the edges in a matching maniacal grin of her new cyan opponent. "Don't make me laugh."

"Oh I won't. Go. Go tell them about it. I've memorized the rules already, you can have it," assured Rainbow Dash.

"Your on!" shouted Twilight Sparkle.

"Good. I'll be at my home, and so will you if you want any honor in this race," finished Rainbow Dash, who turned her back on the unicorn and flew off, undoubtably to her house if she 'wanted any honor in this.'

Twilight Sparkle watched as her new adversary disappeared behind the trees and clouds into the sky, and when the time came she turned to the four ponies behind her, which were regrouping far back to the edge of the rubble. Good thing trees don't set ablaze from explosions- they wouldn't be so lucky if that was the case.

Twilight Sparkle hurried over to the four ponies regrouped far behind her, the rules (wait, did Rainbow say map?) levitated beside her. When she reached voice distance of her friends, sure enough, the first words she heard were, "wait, where's Twilight?"

"I'm right here," answered the unicorn, now afoot with her new 'teammates,' "Back there, Rainbow Dash challenged me to some sort of race. And actually all of us against her is her plan."

"She wants tah do what now?" asked Applejack, first to turn attention to Twilight.

"She wants to race all of us at once at this, and she plans to win."

Twilight didn't know four ponies could make so much noise.

Amidst the mumbling, the five mares came to the decision, yes, they were going to take on their cyan friend. They still had over a day left off from their jobs, which was not something that should be wasted on denial.

"So, I supposed that paper," started Rarity after the decision, "explains the race. Lay it down and let us take a look at it."

Twilight realized she hadn't really looked at the set of rules yet, so she complied and levitated the sheet flat out infront of her, letting all of her friends to scan and study the paper.

The foot race of Equestria. Rules-

1- All racers must start at their respective homes.

2- All racers must be within 5 years of age between each other.

3- No deliberate violence towards racers or checkpoints, although hijacking

opponents is allowed as long as it does not interfere with the race itself.

The race-

All players start at their homes. They will collect marks at each checkpoint they come across

and only when all five are bared can a racer finish the game. The race goes as following

1- The first checkpoint is in the back corners of The Everfree forest, within a ravine crack. The

Marks will be given by temporary tattoo formula. There is one for each racer- do not take extra.

Violation will result in disqualification.

2- The second checkpoint is in a room of Cloudsdale Town Hall. The room will become obviously placed further in the race.

3- The third checkpoint is in a certain intoxication saloon in Canterlot. Like the room, its location will become obvious further in.

4- The fourth checkpoint is in a room in the Town Hall of Ponyville. It is the same room as the one in the Town Hall of Cloudsdale.

5- The fifth and final checkpoint is in Celestias palace. It will also be in a certain room, but not the same as the rooms of the previous Town Halls.

6- There is a central small building in the middle of Canterlot. It is empty in population but holds a single button for each racer. Whoever presses their respective button first is the winner of the race.

"Wow." started Applejack, the first one to speak up after reading the paper. "Rainbow Dash set that all up. Wow."

"She is pretty determined to have it already set up for who knows how long," continued Rarity, who stood in front of two more silent mares. Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie had been especially quiet that day, using there ears more than there mouths. One of them hadn't even read the paper.

"Rainbow already left, so I guess she expects us to race her," added Twilight Sparkle.

"Wait, when does this, race, begin?" asked Applejack, pointing out a flaw in the paper.

"I don't know, maybe I should go ask Rainbow Dash. She left to go to her hou-" started Twilight.

"Wait! Twilight, move your hoof!" spoke up Pinkie Pie.

Twilights fore hoof had been resting on the bottom of the page when she unraveled it, and made no retraction when she telekinetically flattened it out in mid air. Under it, lay more text, probably the last rules.

The race begins on the first ring of the bell tower once every racer has read the rules. This is a surprise race- there is no planning time.

Naturally, the first ring of the bell tower of Ponyville shook right after all eyes had withdrawn from the paper. Rainbow Dash was probably already flying though the air on her way to Everfree Forest.

She probably got some planning time! ranted Twilight Sparkle in her head. "Well, I guess the race starts now," began the purple unicorn.

But the only one who could hear her was Rarity. The mare who had made the same route as her purple friend, and now teammate apparently, had run extremely fast away from the now destroyed forest west towards the Everfree Forest. The unicorns had to beat Rainbow Dash, and they were right on their desires. Everyone on their team was left in the dust as Twilight and Rarity ran towards the first checkpoint.

Their trek didn't last long, however. Soon, the unicorns stopped in unison, ending the telepathic bonding of thoughts that was stringing between them, sharing their thoughts as if it was easier to do than talk while sprinting (which was actually true.) They had shared a plan in their bond, and needed to share it with the three mares that had not followed their path.

Using a special "backtracking" spell, Twilight Sparkle and Rarity rescinded to Applejack, Fluttershy, and Pinkie Pie. Their grins were as huge as ever.

"Have we got a plan for you," began Twilight Sparkle, a smug grin on her face. Soon, a backtracking Rarity met her, turning to face the halted following ponies with a similar expression as her purple teammate.

"Oh what a plan it is indeed," continued Rarity.

The winner is...

The two unicorns grins shouldn't have fit their faces as they walked up to the golden pedestal. Deja vu came first, as they were in the same spot they had been earlier that day. Victory stared them in the face as the Twilight Sparkle and Rarity made step after step to the table. Each clop of their hooves sounded like a note of a crystal harp as the win came closer and closer. They had shown Rainbow Dash up, and here was their chance to prove it.

Even with their hearts beating rapidly in anticipation, every step on the velvet stairs seemed to take hours. In unison came the magic calming. Light illuminated their horns as they kept themselves from springing over to victory, which did, in fact, take magic at this point. The mares age attitude had been shrunk to the point that they were energetic small filly's on the inside. But who couldn't feel like that at a time like this?

Finally, their steps landed on top of the stairs and the victory was but a few feet away. Twilight Sparkle long stepped towards the table, disrupting the even position between the two unicorns and putting herself in front  of her white counterpart. The table shined in front of her, as the two buttons gleamed on the surface.

On the right lay the cyan button, with a cloud and rainbow- bolt of Rainbow Dashes cutie mark symbolizing the option of her win. Too bad it wasn't being pressed. On the left lay the black button, where a shiny magenta retracted wing outline stood out from the dark background. On each feather was a part of the other fives cutie marks, with a single diamond for Rarity, and single butterfly and balloon for Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie. One red apple gleamed next to the pink butterfly that stood on the center feather, symbolizing Applejack. On the main wing lay Twilight Sparkles full cutie mark, giving a slight hint that the purple unicorn had designed the sketch herself.

Rarity put herself at the foot of the table, scanning the surface of its contents. What else she saw was the window. The sun shined beautifully, supporting the victory of the two unicorns. Everything, for the most part, had gone perfectly. Rarity's restricting magic shifted into long distance vision, zooming her eyes wide in awe as she took in the beauty outside. The blue sky shined down at them, and it seemed that it bulged out a bit even. The sky wanted to touch their victory. And if it was possible, Rarity would've allowed it. But when she saw what the bulge was, her mind completely changed.

Rarity zoomed her vision in further. She wasn't being mistaken. The bulge was none other than a cyan Pegasus flying through the air, aimed at their building. While the figure was far away, it was homing in fast. Very fast. Rarity zoomed in further, eyeing the six marks on the Pegasus's rear. One, a cloud with a rainbow lightning bolt. Rainbow Dash. Two, as zebra striped serpent. Everfree creep. Three, a thundercloud. Cloudsdale town hall. Four, a bottle of alchohol. Canterlot intoxication saloon. Five, a uni-horn within a wing within a foreleg. Ponyvile town hall. Six, a sun and moon yin-yang sphere. Celestias palace. Those were the same five marks Twilight Sparkle bared. Rainbow Dash was coming in for the win.

"Hah! In your face Rainbow Dash! Whose the greatest pony in Equestria now? HAH!" laughed Twilight Sparkle arrogantly, unaware that her target could hear her.

Rarity's eyes focused on something else than the victory. It was too stunning to act, seeing the streaking comet of a Pegasus that was closing in on them. She was going so fast, it was surprising that she hadn't already hit the building. It quickly became obvious Rainbow Dash had other plans.

Rarity could see it. The air cone around the bulge- it was getting creased, soon to turn into something much larger than a resistance.

"Hey Rarity, what are you looking at? You frozen or something?" added Twilight Sparkle, who was still arrogant as ever.

The cone was now tiny, almost touching the Pegasus fueling it. It was getting closer and closer to the grand finale. It was getting refracted now. Red, than orange.

"Well, here is to the victory of Shparjaty. I, Twilight Sparkle, hereby claim the victory of this ra-"

Boom.

Time stopped. Twilights cocky smile faded as her attention turned to the disrupter. In the beginning, there was silence. What was a mere second felt like an hour. Soon, the multicolored ring formed around the trail, before spewing out its own streak. Now, there was thrust. What was on the end was cyan with a rainbow mane and tail, about 36 inches tall and 20 years old.

TASTE THE RAINBOW, MOTHABUCKA!

Within a split second, all the windows in the room smashed inwards as a sonic rain-boom exploded from the cyan Pegasus. Time slowed down as Rainbow Dash blasted through the shattered glass frames. If she was aiming for the unicorns, however, she was definitely going to miss. Rainbows entrance froze Twilight Sparkle and Rarity in their places, before sending them flying with the rainbow ring following her. The unicorns collided into the inside of the dome before sliding down to the floor. Unconscious, again.

Rainbow Dash skillfully landed at the foot of her defeated opponents, before racing over to her grand prize. Once atop the pedestal, Rainbow slammed her hoof onto the cyan button. She had won.

Soon after the explosion, the rest of the unicorns team sped into the room to see Rainbow Dash dominating it from the top step.

Rainbow smiled at her adversaries, with a smile that didn't have words to explain. Instead, she did what she was planning on doing.

"Say hello to your new mistress."

Mistress Dash

Click!

All five members of team Shparjaty were now in hoof cuffs thanks to their new mistress. Somehow, Rainbow Dash had beaten all five of them by herself. And now she was getting her payoff.

"Hah! I told you guys! You cannot beat me!" she gloated, laughing all the while she restricted her gloomy friends. Twilight Sparkle was the most angry, unsurprisingly. She had been so focused on beating Rainbow Dash only to be cut short at the last second.

I should've just pressed the button! What was I thinking? Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!

"Fine. Now that you are all secure, we can get started," continued Rainbow Dash, "okay, Pinkie Pie and Applejack, you are going to go with me. The rest of you- if any of you move, you will regret it. Got it?"

"Yes Mistress Dash," they all answered in unison. Part of Rainbow Dashes reward was that everyone had to act like slaves- they couldn't act like they wanted to. For this reason, the five voices all came out as squeaks of fear. All for a dare.

"Now, we are going to get into two groups- Earth ponies and-" began Rainbow Dash, before looking at the fear in Pinkie Pies eyes. Although she knew it was fake, (or maybe it wasn't- she was Pinkie Pie after all) she still couldn't help but fall to the trap she saw in those sparkly eyes. "Actually," rethought Rainbow Dash, who flew over to a roll of duct tape that was sitting on one of the shelves, "Rarity, we'll make you an earth pony for this. Pinkie Pie," she said with the roll in hooves, "you, will watch over the earth ponies outside for me. You will be head slave."

"Uh... okay, mistress Dash," she said nervously. My gosh, did her voice make Rainbow want to drop her act. Keeping true to her character (and pride) Rainbow Dash flew down to her pink slave and unlocked the cuffs around her hooves, setting her free. Then, she fastened the duct tape roll into her own hooves and pulled a strip off. She gently folded and shaped the tape strip into a ring just large enough to fit around the base of a unicorn horn, all the while keeping an eye on the free pony below her.

Rainbow Dash redirected her glance at Rarity. For a split second, Rarity saw the sorry expression Rainbow Dash was forced to wear when handling Pinkie Pie. Then she realized what Rainbow planned to do with the ring.

"P- please, mistress, please don't hurt me," said Rarity at the realization. It was a bit unsettling when she realized she wasn't putting herself in character as she said that- that was normal talking, but in the same slave tone.

Rainbow Dashes evil grin widened at the plead. "Aww, don't worry little filly. I'm not going to hurt you- unless you make me," she said maniacally. Her hover declined to the point that her hind legs were nearly touching the ground, then slipped the tape ring around Rarity's sensitive horn. The pressure squeezed a tiny whimper out of the now disabled unicorn.

"Now, no magic for you, earth pony. Pinkie Pie, pull Rarity and Applejack outside and do what you will with them. But remember- if you try to run, I will make sure you don't have to act scared. Got it?" snapped Rainbow Dash in her mistress commanding voice.

Her response was a tiny squeak that she could only assume meant yes from every pony she had just restricted. Pinkie Pie had done as she was told- she was in progress of dragging her other two "earth ponies" out the door into the backyard field of Twilight Sparkles home. Right before the doors creaked shut, two tiny whimpers once again escaped the voices of Rarity and Applejack. Phew. Good thing they were out of her hands.

Rainbow Dash increased her hover hight and looked down at the two remaining slaves. Both wore matching fearful expressions- which didn't look fake. The thought once again pressured Rainbow to break her character. But no, she was not doing that after the winning the race. She had today and the next day with her slaves- might as well get used to it.

"Okay you two, were going to have some fun." announced Rainbow Dash, who had the eyes of Fluttershy and Twilight Sparkle staring up at her. "I don't want to have to be a cruel mistress, but if you act up, well *hah*, don't say I didn't warn you."

Fluttershy and Twilight Sparkle carefully nodded, still with expressions of fear. "Now, I guess that since in preparation, you two were... appropriate. So, I guess we will have some real fun instead of what you probably thought i meant," said Rainbow Dash, acting in a way that sounded like a Rarity imitation, "lets start with something I call..." Rainbow Dash looked into the eyes of Fluttershy, seeing the same fear she saw in Pinkie Pie, who also had pink hair. "...laughter."

Instead of being confused by this, which was an expression slaves didn't make, Fluttershy and Twilight Sparkle simply widened their already large eyes. Were they allowed to laugh?

"...or at least I think thats what this thing is." added Rainbow Dash, who was now holding a recording tape in her hooves, with an allowed confused expression her subjects were not allowed to make. Balancing the tape in on hoof, Rainbow pressed down on the red button that lay at the bottom of the tape. Immediately, an unrecognizable voice began playing from the tape.

"Okay so the story of this town originates with the Confederacy. First, princess K.K.K., her whiteness, goes to the sight of a nuclear explosion. There she meets a pile of garbage and a dump, and ask the pile of garbage to go find a mate..."

Rainbows eyes went wide like her slaves did. When she glanced down at her subjects, she noticed that a small corner of their mouths had contained a giggle. Thats when she came up with an idea. "You are not to make a sound during this. Understand?" she ordered.

Her answer came as an acceptable nod from both of them.

"... He comes back with pince pimp shorty and tells the princess to marry him. The princess becomes angry and tries to kill the pile of garbage who was apparently named Timmy and trips him into a hurricane. I don't know how that works, but when the hurricane subsides Timmy goes home and finds his sister. He comits incest and marries her. The end."

A tiny squeak could be heard by the two slaves. Thy were trying not to laugh.

"Sounds like how I got married," ended a second voice from the tape. Then the recording stopped. Rainbow Dashes eyes were wide, confused about how this recording could even exist.

"Well, that went no where. Anyway, lets do something other than laughter. I think that was a little too forced," she called to her slaves, "now, how about we do something better. Like... Fear.

Twilight Sparkle and Fluttershy took an expected gulp. Rainbow Dash set the recording tape on the same counter as the duct tape and swooped down towards the other two mares. In the shock, Rainbow picked up Twilight Sparkle by the shoulders and lifted her towards the door leading to where Pinkie Pie was with the earth ponies. In an unknown fashion, Rainbow opened up the door at the pace and shot straight up once outside, with a stunned and scared Twilight Sparkle in her forelegs.

Rainbow Dash wore a smirk as she shot through the air, going higher and higher every second. Twilight Sparkle, who nearly went into shock, wore the complete opposite. Fear filled her eyes under her cyan mistress.

Once she felt Rainbow Dash stop rising, Twilight Sparkle asked a question that wasn't altered through her slave character. "Please! Don't let go of me! Please mistress dash, don't drop me!" Wow. This act was already getting to her.

Rainbow Dash let out a laugh through her closed smirk. "Oh really? Are you scared of falling, little filly?" she said, keeping in her mistress act. "If you don't want to fall, tell me."

"I- I don't want to fall." managed Twilight Sparkle, who in her knowledge was quick to realize she was now really under mercy of Rainbow Dash.

I'm with stupid

CHAPTER TWO

I'm With Stupid

"Fine then, lets do that next,"

Twilight Sparkle pointed her horn at a blank wall. She seemed to use magic to unravel a false paint job, with her horn glowing brightly. The paint fell to te ground in an even sheet as it revealed a closet door. Twilight opened it up with magic while simotaniously walking into it. Her head seemed to disappear into the hidden room as she viciously ravaged through the cluttered stock of it. Many odd things flew out of the door- A pink crown, a box of sugar, a cabinet door, an enlarged picture of an eye, and even a plush of Pinkie Pie.

"Ahah! Here it is!" said Twilight finally. She had pulled out a purple box labeled ? The purple unicorn brought the box over to the rest of the mares, who had their eyes locked on the ejected containments of the closet. "This is EXACTLY what you suggested, Pinkie Pie!" said Twilight.

"Wait, really? I was kidding when I said that. But this should still be fun! Or should it be fun like I said, ah I don't know,"

Twilight Sparkle set down the box and lifted the lid revealing a

Shparjaty vs. Dash

Twilight Sparkle and Rarity easily came up with a shared idea. Rainbow Dash was a fool if she thought she could win after what the two unicorns had in mind. It was simple, really. But the plan would end the race in ten seconds flat. Now, all that was left was to win.

"Okay mares, were going to win this fast and easy. This race is already over, and we've won," started Twilight Sparkle, who faced the three non- unicorn mares with Rarity fasioned next to her, with a professional grin on her face, "all we need to do, is teleport to the five spots. After that, we've won! It's that simple."

"Wow. That rainbow haired dummy din't even have a chance." commented Applejack, who responded with a grin of her own.

"Ha! We won already!" chimed in Pinkie Pie.

"Okay, Rarity, you teleport with Pinkie Pie. Fluttershy and Applejack, I'll teleport you two." ended Twilight Sparkle. The purple unicorn reached out toward her subjected friends, puting out a hoof that ordered two others to meet it. Rarity wrapped a foreleg around Pinkie Pies neck, and lit her horn with anticipation. Here was the fast and easy win of team Shparjaty.

"Okay Rarity, teleport them to the creep of Everfree when i say now. Okay, here's the win in 3... 2... 1... NOW!" alerted Twilight Sparkle, who was overly eager to win against her cyan friend.

Twilight Sparkle and Raritys horns erupted with light, and the teleportation puff cloud of magic followed soon afterward. This race was won, very easily.

When the cloud subsided, the three non- unicorns were left not in Everfree, but instead, at the same spot they were. The teleportation didn't work. "Hey, they teleported without us!" pouted Pinkie Pie, who's grin subsided faster than the light.

"No they didn't," replied Applejack, "look."

Twilight Sparkle ad Rarity were both laying on the ground, unconscious. Long distance teleporting with another pony was very hard. So hard in fact, it knocked the two poor unicorns out. The race really couldn't be that easy. All three concious mares sighed, and poked at their failed companions trying to wake them up. This was going to be a long day.

Rainbow Dash was flying extremely fast for several reasons. First, the Everfree Creep was far away and hard to get to, and secondly, it always payed to have a head start, as she had learned from experience. On the flight towards the thick forest of trees, Rainbow Dash started thinking about why Zecora kept a radioactive (right?) trench behind her house.

Soon, Everfree forest came into view, along with the familiar abode of Fluttershy's cottage. Rainbow Dash eased her legs forward into a correct landing position, and prepared to touchdown on the roof of the home ahead. As she descended, a bright puff of purple light blinded the world above her.

Within seconds, the teleported earth pony Applejack force landed the cyan Pegasus below her. In her hooves pressed a thick role of tape, which didn't need to be questioned of purpose.

Rainbow Dash looked up to see her orange friend holding her down, a smug grin plastered on her face. Applejack took a small tip of the tape and stuck it to Rainbow Dashes spine, all the while clamping her to the roof harder eached time she struggled. Soon, one layer of tape wrapped the Pegasus's wings down, and lessened the leverage for Applejack, making it all the more easy to apply a second layer. After a third and final one for good measure, Rainbow Dash finally managed to push the earth pony off of her, only to see another puff of light to have Applejack disappear into.

Ahh great. Restricted again. Buck, this is going to be hard. thought Rainbow Dash, as she dreaded off the roof and down the path of Everfree forest.

"Hey it worked!"

Applejacks teleport returned her to her five teammates, answering the question before it was asked.

"So, I think we should probably go to Everfree forest now," began Twilight Sparkle, who ignored the just returned agent of sabotage. It wasn't her original plan (that would've been pathetic had it been) but it was good to know that their cyan opponent would be at a disadvantage.
