"A Dinner..... what?" Dash asked. It was four days after she had moved and it was pretty funny watching her ask what simple every-day objects are. She still doesn't trust the microwave, or toaster. Whenever he used them, she would growl and stalk it from across the kitchen. But what really worried him, was the nightmares. Almost every other night she would wake up screaming! Then claim that she didn't remember what her nightmare was about. But once, the second time it happened he had stayed outside her door, when she thought she was alone he heard her crying. So much for being emotionless, but it did prove one thing, she's a pony after all. They were standing in Soarin's living room, when he had laid this on her.

"A Dinner Dance, Dash." He replied, smiling at her. 'He's kidding? Right? I can't get along with the toaster, I try my best, but it's the one making it difficult!' Dash thought.

"You mean with other ponies?" She asked. Soarin thought that if he got her out and about, she would understand.

"Yup, but don't worry you'll be with me the whole entire time!" he reassured her. "And its in two days" He said rolling his eyes. "How bad can it be?" He asked looking at her, she looked annoyed.

"Fine! I'll go your stupid Dinner Dance." She snapped. She began to walk back to the guest room.

"Dash, we're going to the park, remember?" He said. She kept walking.

"I don't feel like going to the park right now," She said. Soarin sat down on the coach and began to think. What would make her happy? Then inspiration struck. He has a little sister, Bumpy Skies, he still had some things of her's that she like when she was a foal. Soarin got up and trotted over to an old storage closet. He opened it and nearly gagged on all the dust. There were boxes piled high. He shuffled through them, until he found one that read 'Bumpy's old memories'. He opened it up and found something he knew Dash would like. He grabbed it and walked over to her room.

"Dash?" He asked. "Can I come in?"..........no answer. He opened the door and saw her staring at the wall. The wall was bare with nothing on it. He stood there for a minute or so waiting for her to notice him.

"No! No! Not again! Why again?" She muttered frantically. Then Soarin realized, she was asleep. She was sleeping with her eyes opened. He walked forward, ready to wake her up when he realized her could find out a bit about her nightmares."Twilight, stop it! You're hurting me Fluttershy! Pinkie, stop! No! No! No!" She said. He studied her. She looked exactly like she did when she was awake, fierce, bold, and annoying. But who was Fluttershy, Twilight, and Pinkie?

"Stop it! Knock it off!" She said. Then he made the mistake, he looked in her eyes. When he looked into her eyes, he was transported into her dream.

Five mares loomed over Rainbow, two earth ponies, an alicorn, a unicorn, and a pegasus. Everything was black, but the ponies. The unicorn grinned.

"Again, we find ourselves a useless, emotional, coward who calls herself a General! Ha! I bet her soldiers are dust bunnies!' She taunted. The pegasus looked up surprise.

"Rarity, you are flattering the dust bunnies!" She sneered. Rarity looked at her. Smiling.

"Your absolutely right Fluttershy!" She said. Rainbow was low to the ground, shivering. Last time they pulled out all of feathers of her wings, until she was bare and cold. What horrible thing were they going to do this time? Why didn't She feel like she knew them, though? Why didn't she pound their muzzles to the ground?

"Enough talk! Let's start with the preenin'" the orange earth pony said. The pink pony with a flat mane looked at her.

"Shall we begin, Applejack?" She asked. Applejack looked at her.

"I don't see any reason why not to, Pinkie." She replied creeping forward towards her prey. Just then Sorain whipped in front of Dash, mind set on protecting her. The others jumped back up in surprise.

"You try to 'preen' her and you'll be seeing stars tomorrow!" He threatened. They narrowed their eyes.

"Well, I guess we'll have to do this the hard way, girls!" The alicorn snapped. She looked at her allies. "Ready?"

"We're ready, Twilight!" Applejack said.

"Good! Now charge!" She said, rearing. The others raced forward yelling battlecries. Just then before they could strike the world melted away leaving nothing but them standing on nothing, but white.

"Dash, what's happening?" Sorain asked.

"I don't know. They normally 'preen' me then leave me to burn." She said getting up. She looked at him. "If you tell anypony that, you will be seeing stars tomorrow!" Dash swore. Just then the same alicorn came racing forward. They both went to defensive coaches. But the mare want interested in a fight. She kept running toward them like if she stop she wouldn't get threw.

"Rainbow! Thank Celestia we found you! Don't worry! We're coming for you! Sorain!? Take care of her! Well be there soon!" She called. Rainbow relaxed at bit. The other mares came into view too. They were more glitchy than Twilight, but they still called out to her.

"You'll be comin' home as quick as ya can blink!" Applejack called. The pegasus was sobbing as she ran.

"Take care, Rainbow!" She called. The white Unicorn had wet eyes, and was blinking out the tears.

"Hold on, Rainbow! Hold on!" She yelled. The pink earth pony was the one most desperate to get to get her.

"Dashie!!!!!!! Don't forget us!!!!!!!!!!" She called then she jumped out like she wanted to jump into her hooves. Then the dreamed dissolved.

Sorain woke up with an angry Rainbow Dash staring at him. Then he noticed that he was holding her close. He released her quickly, blushing at the mare.

"Sorry." He said getting up. Rainbow leaped to her hooves, too. Them looked at him, questionably.

"Did you have a dream where 5 ponies were chasing me?" She asked, eyes narrowed with suspension. Okay, he wasn't going crazy.

"Who were hey?" He asked her. She looked down, her ears back.

"Twilight Sparkle, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Applejack, and the worse of them all Fluttershy." She replied. "I would of hit them......but I can't. I just...... can't." She said helplessly.

"But who are they?" Sorain asked her. She looked down, he stepped forward. "Who are they, Dash?!" He demands. She stepped back, tears were in her eyes.

" I-I don't know, Sorain!" He stepped back, surprised by her sudden outburst. "I don't know." She said, her voice trailed off. She looked at him.

"I gotta go." She said flying out of the room. Sorain took a millisecond to pause and understand her words, then dashed out of the doorway racing after her. But laying on the floor were three books, the books that Sorain thought might entertain Rainbow. Daring Do and the Quest for the Sapphire Stone, Daring Do and the Griffons Goblet and Daring Do and Ring of Destiny layed forgotten on the ground.
