"Hey, Applejack!" Rainbow shouted, running up to her friend at the end of the school day. Everyone had just left, except for a handful of students for their own reasons.

Rainbow held her phone, still staring with awe at the screen as she ran. She had trouble seeing what was on it, but had managed to do so just moments ago inside of CHS.

"Huh?" Applejack said as she looks over to her running friend.

"You'll never believe this!" Rainbow said, stopping dangerously close to Applejack. If she'd kept running for any longer, the both of them would've fallen to the ground. Applejack was annoyed by this, but decided not to say anything about it.

"Look! Someone took a video of a guy swinging on some kind of rope! He jumped off of this building, and then this rope thing came out of his arm, or something, and he started swinging around!" Rainbow said. "It's all over everything now! Mystable, VidTube, Tweeter, Facenook, everything!" Rainbow said, still amazed by the video.

Applejack stared at Rainbow, wide-eyed.

"..."

"I know, right?! It's so cool!" Rainbow said.

"Rainbow Dash, have you been buyin' things from strangers at all lately?"

Rainbow frowned. "I'm not kidding! Come on! Watch the video!" She said before sticking the her phone in Applejack's face.

Applejack took the phone, and sighed. "Look, I'm tellin' you right now that you've got to be mistaken. It just ain't possible for someone to shoot some kind of rope outta their arms." Applejack said.

"But magic, and unicorns, and other stuff like that is real! If that can be real, why can't this be real?" Rainbow argued.

"Well..." Applejack found herself at a loss for words.

"HA! See? Even you can't argue with that logic!"

Applejack sighed in defeat, and pressed her thumb on the video that was on the screen of the phone. "Can we go inside and watch this? The sun's kinda makin' this hard to see..." Applejack said.

They both went inside, and restarted the video.

"Look! That guy's about to jump!" A man said, pointing at a figure standing atop one of Canterlot City's taller buildings. It wasn't a skyscraper, but it was still pretty tall.

"No! You have so much to live for! Probably!" Said another bystander.

"Ditzy, come on! If we can get to the TARDIS quick enough, we can save that boy!" Clockwork said to Derpy, just a few feet in front of the camera recording the boy that was about to jump, assuring his demise.

Bystanders kept saying different things, and telling the boy not to jump for a few minutes.

"Rainbow, nothin' is happenin'. Wh-"

"Look! This is the part where it happens!"

"NOOO! DON'T TAKE ANOTHER STEP OR ELSE YOU'LL DIE!!!" Said a lady with green hair, wiping her forehead dramatically.

The moment she said that, the boy on the rooftop of the building...

...Stepped back.

"Oh, thank goodness!" Said yet another bystander.

The boy then leaped off of the building.

Screams flooded the area, along with one guy saying: "Do a backflip!"

"What in tarnation?! He jumpe-"

What happened next shut Applejack up.

The boy extended his arm towards another building as he fell, and a white-ish looking rope shot out of his hand. Once the rope reached the building it was shot at, the boy stopped falling, and began to swing on that rope. He extended his arm once again, and shot another rope towards another building. He swung on that rope as well, while the crowd below him flipped out.

There was a combination of "DEAR GOODNESS's", and "WOAH's", and other miscellaneous things.

The figure shot a rope at the building next to whoever was recording, and swung very low, making the crowd cheer and freak out at the same time. It looked like he had a red mask, and a pair of sunglasses above it, topped off with a beanie.

The video ended.
