Chapter 2: Picnic Gone Wrong Due To An Unexpected Guest

At The Picnic

"Hey girls, ah think ah should get mah cutie mark by baking cupcakes." Applebloom said. Rainbow, after hearing that, fainted after having a quick flash back of when Pinkie told her what she did to the ponies she killed. Everyone froze. "Was it something ah said?" Applebloom asked.

"Ah don't think so sugar cube." Applejack replied.

1 Hour Later

Rainbow Dash moaned and sat up. "What happened?" She asked.

"The real question is why did you faint?" Twilight Sparkle asked.

"I had a flashback of when Pinkie told me what she did to all the ponies she killed." Rainbow replied. Just then Rainbow saw something shiny reflect the sun light so she quickly leaned back and the shiny thing passed by her face and embedded itself into the tree to her left. "What the-" she started to say when she looked to her left at the tree. The object was a knife. Rainbow then looked to her right and saw a more horrifying sight. "Is that......................Pinkie?" she asked in a weak voice.

"GIRLS RUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Yelled Stryker as he tackled Pinkie. Pinkie then pushed Stryker off her, took one of her knifes out, and stabbed Stryker's leg. Stryker yelled out in pain. He then got on his hind legs and his front-right leg transformed into a robotic leg and a sword blade came out, right next to the hoof, and flew after Pinkie again. Rainbow watched in horror because she was scared that Pinkie was alive.

"Do you really think it would be that easy to kill me?" Pinkie half screamed.

"You really should learn to stay dead, which I am gonna teach you how to today!" Stryker yelled back. He then noticed that none of the girls had moved. HE then, somehow using magic, pushed all the girls more away from him and Pinkie. Pinkie then ran towards Stryker and punched him and sent him flying about 20-30 feet away. Pinkie then threw yet another one of her knifes at Stryker. Pinkie had one of the most freakiest maniacal smiles on her face. (Just like in this You Tube video.)

Youtube Video

   Pinkie started towards Rainbow Dash. "Nice to see you again, Dashie." Pinkie said while pulling out yet another knife and causing Rainbow to back up against a tree. Then as Pinkie raised the knife to kill Rainbow, Rainbow closed her eyes in fear of what Pinkie will do to her. When she realized she wasn't dead and the worst hadn't of come, she opened her eyes and saw Pinkie with her eyes wide in shock and fear. Rainbow then realized there was a knife sticking through Pinkie's neck. Pinkie then died of blood loss. Rainbow then limped as fast as she could towards where Stryker was.

"Damn, I forgot how much knifes hurt." Stryker said. "Rainbow you okay?"

"Yeah i'm fine. How 'bout you?" she replied.

"My legs hurt like hell and my wings hurt like hell. Hey Fluttershy, can you help me here? He said. "And I've gotten weaker over the years."

"Sure thing Stryker" Fluttershy responded.

Twilight was mainly confused. How can a Pegasus use magic? She kept thinking.

"Twilight, in case you are wondering how i used magic then, i took some magic books and studied them the same way you study."

Stryker said. He then grimaced because Fluttershy just re-positioned his wings and was putting some bandages on them.

Rainbow was ignoring them and was starring at Stryker's robotic leg.

"Can I have one?" she asked.

"Sure Rainbow. It'll take a while that's all, and while i'm at it, i'm also gonna make you some wings as well." he replied.

Chapter 3: Rainbow Dash's Birthday

Six Months Later

Rainbow's B-Day

"Oh my........" Rainbow gasped. "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!"

"Your welcome and happy birthday Rainbow!" Stryker happily said. "Now, while your putting those on, i'm gonna be inviting our friends over."

"OK" The excited Pegasus said. What just happened was that Stryker just gave Rainbow the robotic leg and wings he was making for the past 6 months. Stryker then helped Rainbow put them on and he contacted the others so that they could come over. The first to arrive were Applejack, who was followed by her younger sister.

"Hey Stryker! Where's Rainbow?" AJ asked.

"Rainbow is getting ready upstairs and the others are gonna arrive soon. Next to arrive was Twilight and Spike. Then it was Fluttershy, Rarity, Scootaloo, and Sweetie belle.

"Rainbow! Come on down! Everyone's here!" Stryker yelled upstairs.

"OK. On my way down." Rainbow responded. "Hey everyone! Like the new look?" She asked while flying downstairs.

"Someone's looking good." Rarity said.

"I know you see the metal for my leg and wings, but unlike Stryker, i don't care if it's showing." Rainbow said.

"IS there alcohol?" Scootaloo asked.

"Scoots, your too young for alcohol, but yes there is. In case you don't want any alcohol, we have soda and water."Rainbow said.

"IS this party gonna start or not?" Stryker yelled to them.

"Just a sec." Twilight yelled back.

"We better make sure Stryker doesn't drink too much just like last time." Rainbow said.

"Hey I heard that!" Stryker yelled to them.

"Fluttershy, would you like something to drink?" Rainbow asked.

"I would like a soda please." The shy Pegasus responded.

"Spike, are you supposed to be drinking alcohol? I thought you were too young." Fluttershy asked the young dragon who was slowly chugging down some whiskey.

"As long as you don't tell Twilight." he responded.

"Don't tell me what?" Twilight yelled over the music.

"Nothing!" Spike quickly added.

"Hey Rainbow! Now that you have wings, lets go flying!" Scootaloo requested.

"Sorry, not today. I have drunken too much alcohol too fly." The cyan Pegasus responded. "Tomorrow i promise we will."

Rarity already passed out on the couch from drinking too much, with Sweetie-belle drawing on her face.

6 Hours Later

Midnight

"That was awesome!" Applejack yelled. Applejack and Applebloom were the last of the guests to leave Stryker's house.

"Yeah AJ. I know it was. See you tomorrow." Rainbow said then closing the door behind Applejack. Then she said to Stryker, "G'night. See you in the morning."

"Yeah see ya!" Stryker responded.

Chapter 4: Not So Peaceful Flight

The Next Day

Noon

Rainbow Dash was taking her time to get to Twilight's house because she was enjoying the flying experience. When she got to Twilight's house, she knocked on the door so she could ask Twilight if she wanted to go on a flying trip.

"Oh hi Rainbow. Enjoying your new wings and leg?" Twilight said after opening the front door.

"Yep I am. By the way, you wanna go on a flying trip with us?" said the cyan Pegasus.

"Ummmmm, who's going with you?" the purple alicorn asked.

"Scootaloo, Stryker, Fluttershy, and possibly you." she responded. "Wanna join us?"

"Sure let me get ready and i'll be right out."

30 Minutes Later

Fluttershy's Cottage

"So everyone ready?"Rainbow asked.

"Yep." all the others said in unison.

"Lets get in the air first then we can decide where to go after that." Rainbow said. Scootaloo requested going to the mountain tops.

So they went to the mountains. Suddenly Scootaloo was sent tumbling to the ground by a rock hitting her head. Stryker then got out his sword blade and looked around for whoever threw the rock. Stryker found out who it was, Discord.

"Dammit Discord! Cant you just leave us alone?!??!?!?!?" asked the furious Pegasus.

"I did and now i'm bored." Discord replied.

"I have an idea. I don't believe i have to kill you, but they do so that means i have to kill you because i have to protect them. Don't make me fail protecting someone again!" Stryker yelled

"Oh that day was funny. The look on Celestia's face when she learned you had anger problems. ha ha so fun."

Stryker was pissed now. His eyes literally turned to fire and there was death in them. He then flew as fast as he could to Discord, (Faster than Rainbow could no joke) and cut Discord's head off in an explosion of blood. Stryker then flew down to Scootaloo's side and to everyone else and asked, "Scoot, you okay?"

"My back hurts alot and i think i broke a wing." she asked.

Twilight was curious.

"What was that Discord was talking about for you and Celestia?" Twilight asked. Stryker hesitated then answered,

"I was once a personal guard for Princess Celestia herself. Until one day, another guard made me so angry, i killed him in front of Celestia. I was still angry, but it ended with a huge chunk of the castle missing, Luna badly hurt, Celestia badly hurt, and me with 2 broken legs, both my wings broken, and my front-right leg missing."

"Oh ok." Twilight replied.

Meanwhile

Sweet Apple Acres

Applejack screamed. She was leaning over the dead body of Applebloom and crying.

"Sis, what's wro.........Holy shit! No!" Big Macintosh said. There was blood slowly spreading from Applebloom's dead body.

Just then, Sweetiebelle came along and saw the sight and started crying herself.

The Next Day

"Twilight, why is Applejack crying and sitting alone?" Rainbow asked

"I don't know. Why don't you find out yourself?" Twilight responded

"Okay" Rainbow said before walking towards Applejack. "What's wrong AJ?"

"Leave me alone." AJ glumly said.

"All i asked was what's wro-" Rainbow started to say before Applejack bucked her and sent her flying a good 20 feet into a tree.

"Ah said, leave me alone." AJ repeated then walked back towards her farm.

Rainbow walked towards Twilight and said,

"Your turn,ow" Rainbow said and grimacing from the pain

"Damn, she gotcha good." Twilight said because one of AJ's hooves managed to hit one of Rainbow's eyes and ended up giving Rainbow a black eye that was so swollen, it was swollen shut.

Chapter 5: The Crazyness, The Dead, And The Sad

"I managed to see that AJ's eyes are now an ashen grey like something really bad happened." Rainbow said.

"I'll go to the farm instead of you so that you don't get hurt any more." Twilight responded. As Twilight started for Sweet Apple Acres, Sweetie belle came running to them.

"Don't follow her! I sadly know what happened. Sweetie belle said.

"What happened?" Rainbow asked.

Sweetie belle started to cry then she said,

"Apple bloom's dead."

Oh that explains a lot. Rainbow thought. Twilight comforted Sweetie belle.

"Sweetie belle, do you want me to tell Scootaloo, or do you want to?" Rainbow asked the crying unicorn.

"I'll tell her." She responded .

"Ok." Rainbow said before flying off.

"Should I go to Sweet Apple Acres or not?" She wondered out loud .

"I think you shouldn't." A voice next Rainbow said, and made Rainbow jump .

"Dammitt Stryker! Stop scaring me like that!" She told the green Pegasus that suddenly turned visible next her. He just merely shrugged.

"I heard the whole conversation and I was right next to you almost the whole time except when you asked Applejack to give you a black eye." he told her.

"Ha ha very funny." she sarcastically replied.

Two Weeks Later

Applejack sighed. She now knows how Rainbow felt during her recovery. Applejack stared at Apple bloom's grave. She then heard some one say behind her,

"I personally know how you feel. I lost both of my parents and my brother in a freak accident. I was young at time." Stryker said. "I'm not telling you when you have to, but you need to go to Rainbow and explain to her why you bucked her because, now thanks to you, Rainbow is now half blind. I have to go now because Rainbow now hates you and doesn't know I'm here." Stryker then teleported away. Applejack was shocked. Making her friend half blind is terrible.

What have I done?!?!?she thought.

Fluttershy's Cottage

"Angel........................bunny.............help..............................me" Fluttershy weakly said. She was really sick. "Angel.......................bunny.........................get...........................Twilight."

30 Minutes Later

"Fluttershy? You okay?" Twilight asked as she entered Fluttershy's cottage. Angel then led Twilight to where Fluttershy was. Twilight gasped, then took Fluttershy to the hospital. Fluttershy had gone out of consciousness when she was taken to the hospital. Fluttershy's heartbeat was now only 5 bpm. (Beats per minute.) Twilight was scared that she might loose another friend. Fluttershy's heartbeat was now only 1 bpm.

"Miss Sparkle, I'm so sorry, but Fluttershy, just died." One of the nurses told Twilight. Twilight then left the hospital as it started to rain. Her eyes were tearing up, her ears were drooped, and her head was pointed towards the ground. Twilight then told the others of Fluttershy's death later that day.

The Next Day

Sweet Apple Acres

"YOU NEED TO THINK BEFORE YOU BUCK!" Rainbow yelled at the scared farmer. She had Applejack pinned to one of the walls on the barn, and there was a knife in Rainbow's grip. "THINK ABOUT THIS THE NEXT TIME YOU WANNA BUCK SOMEONE BITCH!" Rainbow then stabbed Applejack's front-left leg and keeping the knife deep in Applejack's leg, she moved the knife all the way down AJ's leg.

"Rainbow! Stop!" Rainbow heard a voice boom. Rainbow looked behind her and saw Big Macintosh.

"Fine, I was just about to leave too." Rainbow said before leaving the knife deep in AJ's leg, right above the hoof. Applejack screamed in pain and was now crying in pain. Rainbow then flew back to Stryker's house.

"Sis, I'm gonna get you to the hospital." Big Mac told AJ. There was blood quickly flowing from Applejack's leg with the knife stuck deep in it.

Stryker's House

"Rainbow, you did what!?!?!?!?" Stryker said in shock. "Rainbow, if you continue to make these bad decisions without thinking, I'm gonna have to kick you out." He warned.

"You wouldn't of done that yourself?" Rainbow asked.

"No, I would do something worse due to my anger. But that's then. I cant think when I'm pissed. What are you gonna do with that knife that's in your gri-" he started to ask before yelling in pain because Rainbow threw a knife at his leg. "I think now might be a good time for you run." He warned cause he was starting to get pissed and he was trying his best to not run up to Rainbow and kill her.

6 Hours Later

"Twilight, can I move in with you?" Rainbow asked.

"Aren't you living with Stryker?" she responded.

"Yeah I was, but I got kicked out."

"What you do this time?"

"Twi, look over here to see what Rainbow did." both Rainbow and Twilight heard a voice say. Twilight then looked over Rainbow's shoulder and saw Applejack. Applejack's leg was entirely covered in bandages, and in a splint to prevent AJ from putting pressure on it.

"Look who wanted to get seconds." Rainbow told Twilight, who was horrified by what both Rainbow said, and how Applejack was.

Just then, the three of them hear an explosion, someone yell "Holy shit!", then another explosion, then a yell, then they saw Stryker crash on his back in front of them.

"Girls, run!" Stryker yelled to them before another explosion happened, but this time, where Applejack, Twilight, and Rainbow was. Twilight's vision was blurry and she was on her stomach. She then saw Trixie and Nightmare Moon destroying everything, and leaving Celestia and Stryker to die. Twilight then passed out. Twilight then woke up and heard someone say,

"Oh your finally awake, time to make you pay." Trixie said to the chained alicorn.

"Your too weak to use magic right now, so I have decided to prevent you from using magic, forever." Trixie then grabbed a saw and walked over to Twilight.

"This is just gonna sting." Trixie said before she started to saw Twilight's horn. Twilight was screaming in all the pain. Blood was flooding down her face.

"You see, all done." Trixie said before dropping Twilight's horn in front of her face. Twilight couldn't help but cry and stare at what was her magic.

"Take her outside, I don't need her anymore." Trixie told a guard that took Twilight outside and threw her 20-30 feet away back towards her house.

Wreckage Of Twilight's House

"Ow my head" Rainbow said "Is everyone ok?"

"Where's Twi?" Applejack asked.

"Is it just me or do I hear crying? And can someone help me up?" Stryker said.

"Sure." Celestia limped over to Stryker and helped him out of the wreckage.

"Thanks and that crying that I hear is getting louder by the second." he said.

"Yeah, I hear it too." AJ said while rubbing her leg with the scratch Rainbow gave her. The crying was coming was coming from Twilight, who was limping towards them, and she was covered in blood that came from some scratches in her body. The most horrifying part of Twilight, was that her horn was cut off.

"Twilight. Did you ask someone to give you those scratches, the broken leg, and most of all did you ask them to cut your horn off?" Stryker jokingly asked. Twilight just limped up to Stryker and then bitch slapped him.

"Damn, I was just joking." Stryker said while rubbing his face.

"Well, I'm not. And we need to get rid of Trixie and get Luna back." Twilight said. "They already destroyed the town, so now what?"

"What about mah farm?" Applejack asked.

"Not sure." Twilight replied.

"I can't walk right now so can someone else go to mah farm and check if everything's alright there?"

"I can check your farm, while Rainbow can check the town for survivors." Stryker said.

"Sure." Rainbow replied. Then Rainbow nodded to Stryker and the two of them flew off.

"Celestia, you okay?" Twilight asked the sun princess.

"I've been better and for some strange reason, I still see Stryker as a guard or protector for you girls." Celestia replied.

"Say, how did Luna turn back to Nightmare Moon?" she asked.

"That I don't know. Maybe Trixie?"

Sweet Apple Acres

"What have you done to Applejack?" Big Mac asked the blue unicorn that stood before him.

"Nothing too serious. Unlike what I'm gonna do to you." Trixie replied. Just then Stryker came out of nowhere and launched Trixie a good 50 feet away.

"Go to what is left of Twilight's house. Applejack's there." Stryker yelled to Big Mac before flying towards Trixie to kill her. Trixie then shot a beam of magic at Stryker, causing one of his wings to rip off, and to cause him to both get launched 10 feet away and him to yell out in pain. Trixie then started to charge up her magic power to send a beam of magic to Big Mac. Stryker seeing this, launched him self at Trixie to stop her. Rainbow, who was above them, saw this, then quickly flew down to protect Big Mac. It all seemed like it was happening in slow-mo. Trixie then shot her beam of magic at Big Mac, but Rainbow pushed Big Mac out of the way of time. Unfortunately she was the one to get hit by the beam of magic. Stryker then tackled Trixie and killed her, before going to Rainbow to see if she was alright. When Stryker got to Rainbow, Rainbow then weakly said,

"Scootaloo and Rarity are dead, Sweetie belle is with the others, and now I'm gonna die."

"No Rainbow, your aren't" Stryker managed to say before Rainbow fell unconscious. "Big Mac, please take Rainbow to the others. I'm gonna go try to get Luna back." Big Mac just nodded before putting Rainbow on his back and left.

Twilight's House

3 Hours Later

"Where's Stryker? He should be here by now." Big Mac said. Before noticing Stryker in the distance. Stryker lost both his wings, was covered in blood, but looked really upset.

"You alright?" Twilight asked. All Stryker did was shake his head back and forth. He then walked up to Celestia and said,

"I'm so sorry Princess Celestia, but Luna is................well...................." He was struggling to say it, as if he couldn't find the right words. "She is now dead, because of me." he finally managed to say, and he meant it. "I tried not to, but Luna's last words were, 'I can't get free, you must kill me to free me.' she managed to say that while under control of Nightmare Moon. Again Celestia, I'm so sorry." Stryker eyes were full of tears now. Celestia then said,

"Stryker, look at me. Luna told you to kill her to free her. I see why you listened. Although you may feel bad about killing Luna, if that was what she wanted, it's okay. All of us feel bad due to Luna's death. Also, if you would still want to be a guard, be a guard for these girls."

Stryker nodded.

"Thank you."

"Um, not trying to be rude, but Rainbow still needs help." Twilight said. In fact, Rainbow was still alive, but still unconscious.

Hospital

1 Week Later

Rainbow opened her eyes.

"Look who's finally awake." Rainbow heard Stryker say.

"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?" Rainbow asked Applejack and Twilight.

"We're just not used to seeing you like this Sugarcube." Applejack said. In fact, Rainbow now had two robotic legs, she still had the robotic wings, her eye that was blind was now a robotic eye, she had some burn marks all over her body, and had cuts all over her body.

"Thanks to you, Rainbow, my brother is alive. Thank you." Applejack said.

"No problem." She responded. "Now, I want to get out of here. I get a weird vibe from hospitals."

"Sure." Stryker responded.

End Of Chapter

Chapter 6: Sadness (Final Chapter)

1 Week Later

Sweet Apple Acres

"AJ, I miss her too. Don't just mourn for Fluttershy. Many others died two weeks ago, including Rarity and Scootaloo." Rainbow told the crying farmer.

"I know that Sugarcube. It's just so many losses in such a short amount of time." Applejack replied in between sobs.

Twilight's House

"Twilight Sparkle, both Celestia and I miss her, in fact I miss her the most because I had to kill her." Stryker said while trying to comfort the crying, hornless, purple alicorn.

"Dammitt Stryker! Luna was just like family to me! Luna was Celestia's sister! You don't understand! She was closer to me and Celestia than you! Making you a guardian for me, Applejack, and Rainbow was a bad thing done by Celestia! Just as bad as you killing Luna!" Twilight screamed at him. Stryker was shocked. He started to get angry, so he left Twilight alone, before going to a tree, and lifting it up in the air by using magic, and showing Twilight before yelling back.

"Luna was the one to teach me how to use magic even before I was even a guard! I didn't kill her in cold blood! She told me to kill her! I'm the reason all of you are alive! I think you just miss Luna so much, it's affecting your sanity!" he yelled in anger before throwing the tree. "Now, do you want me to help you rebuild your house or not? I'd call that a no." he said before leaving her. Twilight was sobbing now.  Sweetie belle was mainly confused because her home was destroyed and she had no family left.

"Hey Twilight! Would you like some help?" She asked Twilight.

"Sure." Twilight responded.

Canterlot Castle

5 Minutes Later

"Princess Celestia, there is a guest for you. He would like to come in." One of the guards said to the crying princess.

"Sure, who is it anyway?" She asked while trying o calm down.

"Stryker." Stryker answered her question.

"Hello Stryker. What's wrong?" she asked.

"Twilight isn't sure to trust me because of my actions in the past." he was referring to when he killed Luna. "she is also acting a bit sad and she is on the brink of insanity.

"Stryker, she wouldn't understand. Remember, her mind is still confused since she lost her horn. Actually, both of us are confused about that as well."

"Well, would you like to talk to her? She just recently adopted Sweetie belle. And she now cries for about 2-3 hours in a row per day." Stryker said. "I have tried myself this morning. I think she needs to talk to someone she actually trusts."

"Sure, I'll be over tomorrow."

Sweet Apple Acres

"You two girls need anything?" Big Mac asked Applejack and Rainbow.

"No thanks." they both said in unison while crying and mourning for all the deaths. Fluttershy, Rarity, Apple bloom, Scootaloo, Luna, and even Pinkie Pie. (Not the psycho-killer Pinkie, the element of happiness Pinkie that partied too much.)

"What now?" Applejack managed to say after calming down.

"Dunno. maybe see who we can help. And Applejack, I know how Pinkie felt before trying to kill me." Rainbow replied.

"Sugarcube, that is?"

"When I learned it, it was after I had given you the cut on your leg and after I threw a knife at Stryker's leg, stabbing him. I'm sorry for doing that. But, I watched myself do that and I think I might be starting to loose my insanity."

"Well, Sugarcube. Just because you weren't in control of yourself, doesn't mean your loosing your sanity." Applejack argued.

"Ummmmm yeah it does because you know the promise I made about never wanting to eat cupcakes again."

"Yeah?"

"Well, I had an urge to eat a cupcake today." Rainbow told the farmer. Applejack's mouth was ajar in shock.

THE END

Chapter 1: She's Finnally Back!

Stryker is a male Pegasus that his color is dark green, his wings are light green, his mane is cyan, and his eyes are blood red he is also Rainbow Dash's boy-friend.

"Rainbow, how are you on this fine day?" Stryker asked the wingless, three-legged, Pegasus. Rainbow sighed, then replied

"Usual." but she said that in a very depressed way, for that she has been depressed for three months now.

"If you could relive that moment in the basement at the sugarcube corner, would you?" she asked.

"Yes I would. Rainbow, please, I know that you miss Pinkie and flying, but you have to get outside and be with your friends." Stryker requested.

"I know that Stryker, but Scootaloo doesn't even know what happened that horrid day. In fact , she doesn't even know I'm like this." she argued. Stryker thought about this for a while. "Tell you what Rainbow, if you want , you can ride my back while I fly, but there's a catch. You have to be with your friends afterwards. So you in?" After hearing this, Rainbow smiled because she missed flying. "Sure!" she replied.

1 Hour Later

"That was awesome!" Rainbow yelled. "I knew you would enjoy that. Now, lets go to Twilight's house." Stryker responded.

Twilight's House

"Hey Twilight! Have you seen Rainbow Dash recently? I haven't been able to find her." An excited Scootaloo asked. "Scootaloo how many times do I have to tell you, Rainbow isn't feeling good right now and in fact, I haven't seen her in a while either." Twilight responded. Just then, Applejack, Apple bloom, Rarity, Sweetie belle, and Fluttershy arrived. "Oh hey guys! What are you doing here?" Twilight asked. "Stryker told us to meet here because he said he had a surprise." AJ replied.

"Isn't Stryker Rainbow's mare-friend?"

"Yeah ah think so." just then the door opened and Stryker came walking in with Rainbow limping behind. Stryker then said " Look who finally decided to join us."

"Rainbow....your leg......and your ......wings.........they're..............gone." Scootaloo stammered.

"Damn, She looks worst than I thought." Twilight thought.

Rainbow froze and replied "Pinkie is that reason Scoot." In order to change the subject Rainbow said."So, what do you girls wanna do? I need something fun to do."

"A picnic!" Sweetie Belle requested. "Sure, we could do that." AJ said. Twilight walked up to Rainbow and said, "Well, I can tell someone's recovering. Say, where have you been recovering?" "Since the day I got out of the hospital, I moved in to Stryker's house."

She responded. Then she looked over to Stryker and saw him playing with Scootaloo and said to Twilight, "I can tell those two are getting along well."

Fluttershy then said, "Rainbow, how are you walking about without help?"

"The only problem is that I have to limp to walk, okay."

"So, when's this picnic gonna be anyway?" Spike asked

"Today." AJ responded.
