There Were Aliens In Equestria?

Rainbow Dash was pacing...or rather, hovering back and forth above the wooden floor of the Ponyville Library. Twilight and Spike are away in Canterlot. They wouldn't mind if their colourful loyal friend, Rainbow Dash, borrowed the library for a while.  After all, it was a public library. A public library with drawers of private letters between the Princess and Twilight. A public library with Twilight's private diary hidden under her pillow. A public library with Celestia knows what other PRIVATE things hidden in it.

"Alright everypony. You know why I have brought you here." said Rainbow Dash looking straight in the direction of her hovering, away from the four ponies she had forced to come with her. The four shook their heads. "So, you came here without knowing why I needed you here. Is that right?" continued Rainbow in a sinister military style tone.  The response the four ponies gave her was nodding their heads.

One of the ponies spoke up. "Umm... you never told us."

Rainbow Dash immediately threw a paralyzing glare the light brown earth pony who spoke. "You never asked." and a smirk formed on Dashie's face. She went back to her hover-pacing.

"I have brought the four of you here for a very important mission. It takes guts, bravery, courage and--"

"Aren't those the same thing?" asked the mint green unicorn.

"Lyra. My sweet little Lyra. There is a reason why you can never qualify to be my pet. Do you know the difference between coolness, awesomeness and radicalness? And you sit funny." replied the cold Rainbow Dash.

"Sweet little?! Why you--"

"As I was saying.  It takes guts, bravery, courage and... pause for dramatic effect... loyalty."

"Nailed it!" thought Dashie.

There was an awkward silence. Rainbow didn't expect this. She actually forgot what to say next! But the silence didn't last very long.

"Uh... so why are here again? Are there muffins? Yay! I love muffins!" asked the absent-minded but lovable Derpy Hooves.

"Uh, I was about to come to that, Derpy. We are going on a rescue mission. 'Who are we going to rescue?' you may ask. Well, that's a simple question. But, the answer to it is far from... complicated. Yes, a simple answer to a simple question. And that simple answer is--"

"Can I go now? I gotta get back to the clinic by 2 o' clock." interrupted Col-- Woah! That's some sparkling white teeth!

"Ugh! Will you guys stop interrupting my awesome speech!? Okay, inhale... exhale. Alright, back to the simple answer thing. Now, that simple answer is none other than... pause for dramatic effect again... the Wonderbolts."

The four ponies were shocked as if the word "Wonderbolts" was a bolt of lighting striking them.

"Oh come on! Don't you guys ever read the news?" asked Dashie. "How do you keep up to date with society?"

A flurry of impractical answers were given in reply to Rainbow's last question.

"This going to be a long day."
