Rainbow pulled down the screen and turned on the projector. It's a new projector. Twilight had made sure this projector was much more reliable than the one Spike used when Dashie was briefing the pegasi of Ponyville about lifting the water from the lake into Cloudsdale.

Displayed on the screen was a map of Equestria. Rainbow Dash pointed towards a city labeled 'Las Pegasus'. Her four companions in the library immediately diverted their attention to it.

"The Wonderbolts were scheduled to arrive here from Canterlot. I would have been there but it's been very cloudy here in Ponyville over the past few days." said Dashie as she hovered next to the screen. "But they never arrived in Pegasus. However, they did leave Canterlot. There is only one possibility. And that is--"

"They went missing on the way?" poked in Colgate.

"Hey! I thought we talked about this! No interrupting when I'm being awkward." replied Rainbow Dash.

"Excuse me? Awkward?"

"Huh? Oh! Hehe... sorry 'bout that folks! No interrupting when I'm being AWESOME. Now, let's get back to the Wonderbolts." Rainbow Dash pointed at the desert surrounding Las Pegasus. "They probably went missing somewhere here. And we are going to find them."

Lyra raised her hoof. "Wait, we are going WHERE?! That desert is like, totally not anywhere near Ponyville. We haven't prepared anything. And since when did we agree to go on this trip?"

The other ponies nodded in agreement.

"Have you forgotten who's lives are at stake here? It's the Wonderbolts for Celestia's sake. If we pull this off, each of our dreams could come true. I can join the Wonderbolts! Lyra can study humans! Colgate's clinic will make it big! Doc Whooves can time travel in a DeLorean instead of an old police box! Derpy can... make lots of muffins! Now, does that change your minds?"

"Yeah!" the three ponies shouted. Wait a minute, three? Oh, and Derpy went something like "Yay! Muffins!"

"Awww yeah! Winning!" thought Rainbow as she giggled to herself.
