Applejack and Fluttershy raced away from the farmhouse, Rainbow's dad, Soarin, Spitfire, and Rainbow Dash fast on their hooves. While racing over Ponyvillie. Rainbow Dash had decided to switch from running to flying, then dropped back down to run again.

"Hey, Soarin. Were you ever in the- WHOA!" Rainbow began to ask Soarin with a turn with her head, but quickly crashed into a purple unicorn mare. Her mane was a mess, like she had just woken up, her eyes were bloodshot, as if she had just drank 5 cups of coffee after she pulled a all-nighter. Her saddle bag was stuffed full of books, scrolls, and falling out quills. She had crazy large glasses, that were a dark purple. She looked at Rainbow then pulled up her glasses.

"I can't believe it! After all my research has done, but of course Princess Celestia doesn't have time for a non-student of her school of Gifted Unicorns. Oh! Dear Celestia, why couldn't I just crack that egg, right, Spike!" she said using her magic to pull out a purple egg out of her saddle bag and she place it on the ground in front of her. Rainbow Dash just blink and stared at her. Then she suddenly noticed her Cutie Mark. It looked like somepony has painted on. It was a badly painted on white star and a lighter purple star painted awfully on top.

"T-twilight?" She asked. Twilight looked really pleased with herself.

"Yes! That's my name! Twilight Sparkle! Twilight Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis Sparkle! Though I do prefer Ms. Sparkle. And this is my trusty assistant! Spike! Get up!" she scolded him, pulling a quill from her saddle bag and wacking the egg. The egg sifted a bit, but other than that it did nothing else. Twilight looked angry. The others had stopped to see what the heck the crazy pony was talking about.

"Hey I know you! You're that weird alicorn-princess or something! Said that we were friends and was really weird." Applejack exclaimed. Twilight looked at her then pulled out five books out her bag and opened them up. She looked up at Applejack, then looked back down at her books.

"MMMMM. Nope! Never have met you before in my life. Unless.... No! Sweet Celestia! If this is possible, then time rifts can be possible! And then Celestia will FINALLY notice me!" She exclaimed looking at her books again, and also pulling seven more books out of her bag.

"Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaattttt?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Hmmmm. Sweet Celestia! You could be a time misrepresentation of a time warp!" She said using her magic to pull Rainbow's tail up in the air and letting Rainbow Dash dangle there.

"Hey! Let me down! Stop it! I will bite or disfigured your face very much! Soarin! Spitfire! Anypony get me down so I can hurt her very badly!" Rainbow snapped.

"Come on, Rainbow-Pony! We need to get you down to my lab! Hmmm? Should I dissect her stomach first, or her liver?" Twilight questioned. Rainbow looked at her. Twilight looked at Spike. "Spike! Why aren't you taking notes?" She asked.

"What! NO! No, dissecting me what-so-ever at all!" she cried. The others just stood there watching as Rainbow tried to get down so she could hurt the Unicorn. An just when it seemed like she could another voice wad heard.

"Applejack! Fluttershy! You said that you meet me at the graveyard and you didn't! You broke your Pinkie Promise! You cross you heart, hoped to fly and crash into the ground, and you swore you would never see the light of day ever again!" A Pinkie earth pony with a flat mane scolded Applejack and Fluttershy as she trotted up. Rainbow looked bewildered. Twilight looked at Pinkie then returned to her note-taking.

"Pinkie Pie?" She yelped, from high on the air. Pinkie looked at Dash and almost smiled, almost, but then she growled at Dash. Twilight looked at Rainbow then decided to let her down. Rainbow landed with a thud. Soarin rushed over to see if she was okay. But she shook away his hoof.

"I prefer Pinkamena Diane Pie! If you please! And if you ever-" her voice trailed off. "General?" She asked.

"That's me! General Dash! I-I remember you!" Rainbow cried. Then she growled at Twilight who was now poking her in the back with a quill "hey! Stop that!" She snapped.

"General, I was one of your lead soliders in the War. We were friends, well up until half way into the War where you completely ignored me. But General, they said they you were dead. That you went to Cloudsdale Hospital and died from your wounds shortly after." Pinkamena asked. Rainbow growled again at Twilight. Who was now inspecting her wings.

Twilight looked up from her notes. "Mmm. What if you were a subspecies of the Inferno Respiratory majcule conservator wyvern!" Everypony stared at Twilight.

"A Inferno, rep-a-what now?" Rainbow asked. Twilight sighed and looked at Spike. She wacked with Spike with her notes.

"An Inferno Respiratory majcule conservator wyvern! Geez! Has nopony else also spent 5 years in the Dragon lands like Spike and I?" Dead silence. Twilight cleared her throat, "A Inferno Respiratory majcule conservator wyvern, which is what Spike is, he is a Inferno Respiratory majcule conservator wyvern," Everypony stared at her. Twilight sighed "Or as un-cultivacted ponies might say, a fire breathing letter deliverer dragon." Everypony ohhed.

"Why would you think Dash is a subspecies of a dragon?" Soarin asked. Rainbow's father cleared his throat and stepped forward.

"I'm pretty sure, her mother isn't a dragon." He huffed. Twilight rolled her eyes.

"Duh! But look at her wings! They aren't like other pony wings! I mean not all ponies have a metal wing." Rainbow's eyes narrowed. Anypony wouldn't of noticed, but she winced and Soarin noticed.

"Rainbow? You okay-?" Sorain began but was cut off by Rainbow. Who began to rant at Twilight.

"I wasn't born like this! My wing was ripped from socket, my blood watered the battlegeound of the War. Sombra laughed as he watched as I raced towards him! Blood dripped from my open wound, my soliders were yelling at me to stop. But did I listen? No! I am not a Inferno Respiratory majcule conservator wyvern! I may be a monster! I may be-" Rainbow was stopped when Twilight made a magical zipper across her lips. An unimpressed look on her face. Rainbow looked even angrier. Pinkamena flinched.

"Hold her down she's gonna attack!" She cried lunging forward. Pinkamena thrusting her body upon the rampaging mare. Rainbow began to buck and kick. The others stepped back, not wanting to get hurt. Soarin wished he had brought the drug that calm her down. So he had to rely on only himself.

"Rainbow! Listen! She's a scienceist! She was only making a hypothesis!" He yelled. Rainbow began to buck even harder and Pinkamena was finding it harder to hold on.

"She doesn't like big words!" She yelled at him. She began to slip off. Then she found a better grip. "Or microwaves or toasters! She doesn't like kitchen utensils that much! She attack the cook during the War once!" She added. Soarin rolled his eyes.

"She was just making a guess she didn't mean it! You're not a monster, Dash! You're a pegasus! And a really good flyer! I could hardly keep up with you! And Spitfire was in the Wonderbolts, and even she was falling behind!" Soarin told her. She was getting calmer now. That's good. "Listen, after a few weeks of know you. I know that, you may try to be tough you try to be hard. But inside.....but inside I know that all you want is a family. And Dash....I am your family, your father, your old friends are your family. And... We don't believe you are a monster. You're crazy." Her eyes flared up with anger again. "But! We love crazy! And you can be the most craziest mare I know." Rainbow's eyes became softer. Her wings -or wing- lowered. Pinkamena pushed her to lay down on the ground. Soarin looked at Twilight.

"Take the zipper off." Soarin ordered. Twilight looked back down at her notes and scrippled something down.

"Okay." She responded. Then with a flash of light Rainbow's mouth zipper was gone. She looked up at Soarin. Then at Pinkamena.

"Get off me or you'll wake up without your hoof and nose" she said silently. Pinkamena backed away. Rainbow stood and stepped towards Soarin until she was barely an inch away from his muzzle.

"That was incredibly sappy." She stated. Then she narrowed her eyes. "Never do it again." She ordered him. Soarin felt incredible warm around his muzzle. He stepped back. Feeling uncomfortable and warm.

"Hum, ah, of- of course, Rainbow. General! Dash!..... General Dash?" Soarin questioned. Then he looked at Applejack who was holding in her own laughter. Rainbow snorted. Twilight looked even more puzzled and then picked up Rainbow by the tail again. And Rainbow looked like she just didn't care anymore.

"I hope you wouldn't mind. But I'm going to kill her as soon as she puts me down. By the way." Rainbow told everypony. Twilight then loaded up her stuff and put Spike on her back and began to trot away. Everyone else looked at one another and raced after her and Rainbow.

"Where are you going?" Fluttershy whispered. Nopony heard.

"Hey, Twi? Where are ya goin'?" Applejack asked. Twilight didn't look back.

"To the Golden Oak Library, of course! I need to hook her up to a machine to see if my hypothesis is correct." Twilight said without missing a beat. Some eyebrows were raised but they continued to follow the crazy mare.

Rainbow's father grabbed Sorain's tail and pulled him back, far enough and so nopony else was in earshot. "Rainbow Dash likes you." He told the younger colt. Soarin glanced over at the stallion. Keeping in mind that his daughter was staying with him.

"Yeah, she's my friend." Soarin told him with a little smile. Rainbow's father rolled his eyes.

"You're a dummy. No, she likes you, likes you. Like, like like you, idiot." He said. Soarin's face grew warm again. Rainbow's father eyed the young colt that his daughter liked. "And I'll be watching you two." He said then he trotted forward. Then stopped again and leted Soarin go first.

"Very closely." He told him narrowing his eyes. Soarin blushed and raced forward trying to get away from the embarrassment. But Rainbow's father's eyes followed him. Sweet Celestia, did he have the same mutual feels? No, no, no! She was...just..a friend. Maybe. Soarin seriously didn't know.
