Now that five of the six Elements of Harmony were together, we could find Rainbow Dash. The only question was, 'where was she?'.

We were walking down the road away from Sugarcube Corner, when Pinkie Pie spotted a filly with an orange coat, and a purple mane and tail. I recognized her as Scootaloo, Rainbow Dash's biggest fan. I called out to her. "Scootaloo!" She was surprised at the sound of her name. "Yeah, what?"

"Have you seen Rainbow Dash lately?"

"Rainbow Dash? No."

"Oh."

"Why?"

"She ran away and we're trying to find her. Is there anywhere she goes when she's upset?"

Her eyes lit up. "Yeah! There's a cloud on the edge of the Everfree Forest that she goes to lay on when she's upset. I've seen her crying on it more than once."

"Thank you, Scootaloo! Thank you!"

"No problem! Anything to help friends of Rainbow Dash!"

As we took off towards the Everfree Forest, Rarity said, "Such a nice filly."

Rainbow Dash's POV:

I was flying toward my cry-cloud. And I thought, 'Everypony thinks I'm a lesbian. I'm not a lesbian.'

"There it is." I settled down on my cry-cloud, and started crying.

Twilight's POV:

We were almost there when Pinkie Pie spotted a cloud all on it's own, just outside the Everfree Forest. We were right under it. I called up; "RAINBOW DASH! ARE YOU UP THERE?!" She tried to fly away, but I grabbed her with my magic, and levitated her down to us.

"Hay! Let me go!"

"Rainbow Dash, I'm sorry.

"No you're not! Everypony thinks that I'm a lesbian, but I'm not!"

"Rainbow Dash, darling, nopony thinks you're a lesbian."

"Twilight does! I asked her!"

"Rainbow, you just surprised her, that's all."

"Huh?"

"Yeah! Now why don't you just turn that frownie upside downie!"

"I don't understand."

"Rainbow, you just surprised me is all. I wasn't ready for a question like that."

"*sniffle* Really?"

"Yes."

"Aw, thanks. I'm sorry for running away like that. I guess I just overreacted. I don't know what I would do without you five."

"Aw. That's so sweet Dashie! Now, how about a groupie huggy-wuggy?"

"Thanks girls."

*SQUEE*

"Well everypony, it's getting dark, and I bet my animals are starting to get lonely without me."

"Yes. And I must return to the boutique."

"I have to go clean up that party, or Mr. and Mrs. Cake will be upset."

"And Ah have to get back to the farm to make sure Applebloom and her friends haven't destroyed anything. May Celestial have mercy on their souls if they have."

"Bye girls!" I said just as Rainbow Dash was sniffling behind me. "Thanks Twilight. Look, it's not that I don't appreciate all that you did but, what if I don't meet my stallion?"

"Oh Rainbow Dash, I'm sure you will. Not me or any of the girls have found their stallion yet."

"I know Twilight, but, what if I never meet him?"

"Rainbow stop that. You will. I'm sure of it."

"Thanks Twilight."

"You're welcome, Dash."

"Well, I should get home and get some rest. After all, I've got a big day of being AWESOME tomorrow. Bye Twilight!"

"Good-bye Rainbow Dash!" 'Today was a good day', I thought.

Not the original ending I had planned but, you know, you've gotta do some cutting and pasting here and there to make things work.
