Early in the morning of a cool summer's day, the sky was bright and blue; the weather was just right for flying. Rainbowdash was trying to  catch her marefriend before she had left for her royal duties as the Princess of Friendship. Rainbow managed to catch Twilight, as she was walking out of her castle. She was preparing to fly to Canterlot.

With a  quick dive bomb, she tackled the poor unsuspecting Twilight with a thud. "SURPRISE!" shouted Rainbowdash, "I wanted to see you off, considering I  won't be able to spend any time with you until next week, my love. I don't know how I'm going to cope without you."

Twilight got up as Rainbowdash lifted herself up. Then she began to dust herself off. Twilight had become used to the spontaneous cyan  Pegasus Jumping on her unexpectedly. "I will miss you too, my beloved Dashy. but you can write to me whenever you want, and I will reply to  you whenever I have the time to, and you will never leave my mind my cyan moon." Twilight replied, in a gentle yet loving tone.

Rainbowdash blushed at the poetic reply from Twilight, "Awe Twilight you're such a romantic, now I'm going to miss you even more now."

And gently kissed Twilight on her cheek, and Twilight kissed her lovingly back. Then the two ponies went their separate ways after briefly embracing each other in an intimate hug between two lovers. As Rainbowdash was returning to her house in Clouds Dale, she couldn't help but remember hers and Twilight's first date on that mountain hearths warming night. How Luna had made the spectacular light show with a  magnificent comet fly over the two ponies, which left her mare friend awestruck, their first kiss; and how they spent the night together drinking hot cocoa. It was Rainbow Dash's favorite night; it would always make her feel as happy as a filly who got her cutie mark on the day she found out what her true talent was.

Rainbowdash was so distracted she had nearly missed her friend, A'J hailing her from the ground. Rainbow aroused from her daydreaming  flew down to greet her friend "Hey, AJ what can I do you for?"

"What are you doing flying around all daydream like? Applejack chastised the cyan Pegasus, "You could of ran into something or somepony."

"I was... ahh...  thinking um... about the wonder bolts yeah, that's it."

"Mmm hmm, I'm sure you were, Ms Twidash" Applejack replied cheekily,

"Of course I was, I was thinking of the wonder bolts I'm telling you the truth AJ," Rainbowdash replied indignantly

"Your a real sentimental pony aren't you Ms Dashy." Applejack chuckled,

After the conversation had concluded, Rainbowdash took off like a bullet out of a gun to get away from the taunting farmer pony.

Pinkie Pie was wondering around Ponyville, seeing who was awake, then surprising them with a great big, "Hello!" Making them laugh with glee from the surprise. The excitable and random pony often did this when the mood struck her, she would also be baking cupcakes in her house preparing for a party on that same day.

However today was a little different, her Pinkie senses we're playing up something chronic, predicting that something strange was about to happen. Pinkie had told Gummy about it several times already she had also told the gang excluding Twilight who had gone to do some royal duties in Canterlot.

Pinkie was about to head to Spike, to tell him about it. When she found Spike she started talking to him about her prediction, when suddenly  Spikes eyes began to glow bright white as bright as the sun.

"Pony to Alicorn I see; is it you or is it me. Will we find out that which the rock cracks and the bed rocks as the skies fall and nights rise.  Begin to end, no more to come, diamonds to dust ash to reside, the creek of the little foal flows steadily to a stop. Beginning or an end who  very well knows the map knows but those who are not the six will hear nothing at all." Spike said in a mystical voice.

Pinkie was in complete surprise, she had never seen this before, she wondered what Fluttershy would say about it. Pinkie knew that Fluttershy knew a lot about critters. She went to Fluttershy's cottage and asked the shy pony what she thought of Spikes riddle. When Spike re-awoke, he saw Fluttershy staring at him concernedly.

"Are you okay, Spike?" Pinkie Pie inquired." you fainted, so I brought you to, Fluttershy's house. The whole gangs here, they saw me running  with you on my back and became concerned." Spike nodded once Pinkie noticed he was okay, she quoted the riddle to AJ, Rainbowdash,  Fluttershy, Rarity, and Spike.

"Pony to Alicorn I see; is it you or is it me. Will we find out that which the rock cracks and the bed rocks as the skies fall and nights rise.  Begin to end, no more to come, diamonds to dust ash to reside, the creek of the little foal flows steadily to a stop. Beginning or an end who  very well knows the map knows but those who are not the six will hear nothing at all."

"I  said that? I don't even remember that. The last thing I remember is you talking to me about how something weird was about to happen,  and then it went black," Spike commented

"At least your okay Spiky wiky I was quite worried about your well being dear," Rarity replied in a caring tone,

"Nothing could hurt me I'm the toughest dragon in Equestria,"

"Oh, Spiky wiky don't ever change dear." Rarity chuckled lightly

"Dragons have been known to um... foretell prophecies and riddles about future events. The reason some dragons don't remember, what was said is because something um... takes control of their thoughts and imbues them with the power of prophecy, that's what um... Twilight  ahh... told me..." Fluttershy declared.

"That's my mare for you," Rainbowdash accidentally blurted out then she realized she had thought out aloud, she went bright crimson from embarrassment. "We should write to Twilight to see what she has to say about it, her being an egghead and all." Rainbowdash declared.

"Do  you just want to write to your marefriend aye Twidash," Applejack replied mockingly

"NO, I JUST THINK TWILIGHT SHOULD BE ENVOLVED IN THIS CONVERSATION!"

"I'm sorry Rainbowdash, I don't mean to offend you, even if you are in love,  your still awesome I have had my fun for today, I won't taunt you  anymore, Rainbow,"

"Thank you AJ, I appreciate it, your a good friend,"

"Your welcome, but we should really get Twi's opinion though, she knows a lot about magic, and this is definitely ancient magic,"

"I'll write it." Rainbowdash replied elated.

"Dear Twilight;

We would like your opinion on this strange occurrence Spike has said a riddle and then fainted. Fluttershy tells us you have told her that  dragons can in rare times become imbued with the power of prophecy, Spike said in a different voice apparently in a mystic voice that's...  what Pinkie said anyway, this is what Spike said.

"Pony to Alicorn I see; is it you or is it me. Will we find out that which the rock cracks and the bed rocks as the skies fall and nights rise.  Begin to end, no more to come, diamonds to dust ash to reside, the creek of the little foal flows steadily to a stop. Beginning or an end who  very well knows the map knows but those who are not the six will hear nothing at all."

So egghead what do you make of it?

Always yours;

your beloved and devoted Dashy

xxooxxoo"

After Rainbowdash had finished and rolled the scroll up, she handed it to Spike and with a plume of green flame the parchment teleported to Twilight.
