In the Middle of the Warzone

"APPLEBLOOM! I have been searching for ages, looking for Applejack! Where in all of Equestria is she?" The white Unicorn asked/screamed running up to the small fillie. Applebloom smiled. It was funny when Rarity visited from Manehattan, she was always so dramatic!

"She just went to the cemetery, she and Fluttershy accidentally forgot about Pinkamena, there." The fillie repile. Rarity groaned.

"But that's all the way across town! Couldn't of Ponyville officials put the cemetery closer? And a bit less..." Rarity groaned, just think about it. "Gloomy?" She asked. Then she looked down at Applebloom.

"And why today? Didn't she remember that was coming to visit? I didn't come all the way out here for her to not to be here!" She stomped her hoof, angrily. Applebloom giggled a bit.

"Today's Rainbow's date." She whispered. Rarity looked confused at the fillie.

"Rainbow's date? What are talking about, darling?" She asked. Applebloom just went on talking like she didn't hear her.

"Ah guess it ain't really her date now, since apparently she was alive all along. Hoo'wee! She didn't look pretty darn mean, though!" She rambled on. Rarity sighed.

"I'll just go to the dirty, disgusting cemetery looking for the pony who said she would be here." She complained trotting away from the fillie, who was now sitting down. Trying to figure out whatever she was trying to figure out. Whatever that was.

Twilight raced into the library and zoomed down the steps towards the basement. Rainbow complained loudly, that hanging upside down in the air wasn't fun and she would downright murder Twilight if and when she put her down. Everypony else followed. Pinkamena was the last one in, she had stopped to -why? I don't know- crush the flowers in front of a house, and collect rocks for her baby sister? But when she raced in she didn't close the door leaving it wide open.

"Now, if the time circulation is correct, she should of popped out in Cloudsdale- no wait!- wouldn't it be Canterlot since Canterlot has the highest population of unicorns in Equestria and use magic daily. Are you getting this, Jackapple?" Twilight told Applejack, while racing down the stairs.

"It's Applejack!" She shouted back. Chasing after her. Rainbow looked like she didn't care.

"Listen. Put me down and die, or not put me down and still die. Okay, Twilight Mini-whatever Sparkle!" She said in the most flat voice ever. Soarin chuckled. Her father was in front of him, and he looked back with a deep scowl on his muzzle. Soarin gulped and smiled nervously. Mr. Dash huffed and looked forward. Soarin let out a long sigh of relief.

"Yes, yes, yes! As soon has I find my- ah! Yes!" Twilight had ran into a large labortory. She rasied a comically large pair of scissors up to Dash's neck. "Yes…… mmm you might want to put a unbrella up. It could get a bit, er, how to put it in words you'll understand, wet. Now hold still!" She said like a madmare! Immediately Applejack, Mr. Dash and Soarin jumped forward, terrified by the idea.

"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!" Sorain said flying up into the air next to Dash, who still looked unimpressed. "Whoa. You are going to direct her! No! Bad! Stop!" He scolded Twilight. Who was trying to get her large scissors around him. She looked down.

"Fine!" She agreed. Sorain let out a sigh. Rainbow just blinked. "I'll hook you up to my monitor then!" SH said wizzing the scissors away. She moved Rainbow over to a large grey circle thingy. She had hooks connected to Rainbow's hooves, wings, and face. She was dangling in the air from the wires and metal grips. Rainbow glared at her.

"What is this?" She asked she didn't sound interested she just sounded bored. Like she had nothing better to do. Twilight was now checking a long stream of paper which had a red lines that went up and down like a heart monitor. She looked up.

"Curious, very curious." She muttered. She trotted over to her captive and stared at her. Twilight's eyes narrowed. "I'll need your blood." She finally said. Soarin's head zipper up. He had been thinking about what her dad had said and had missed part of the conversation.

"What?" He asked, dumbfounded. Twilight rolled her eyes and walked over to her desk. A mound of paper following her, connected to her hooves. She digged threw her drawer and found a needle. She walked back over to the pegasus, who looked like she didn't care.

"Now this may sting a bit, but it will-"

"I've handled worse than a needle, egghead." She snapped. Twilight sighed and collected the blood. She looked very pleased and went over to her test tubes. Rainbow looked at Pinkamena.

"Tell me what I was like before the War." She almost ordered. Pinkamena nodded.

"You kinda were like a bully." She said at last. Rainbow stared down at her.

"I don't know much, but I know for a fact I was never a bully." She huffed. The scanning on the paper was coming faster.

"But you were!" Fluttershy injected. "You w-would tell any…anypony that said something you didn't like to, and I quote, 'Go fly off a cliff and die in a snakepit.'. And if they talked back to you" she shuddered. "Oh, so many fights I had to break up." She whimpered. Rainbow's eyes glazed over.

"I don't remember getting into fights." She muttered. Just then Twilight trotted back in and stared at her results, then back Rainbow, then the results. Nopony spoke.

"What?" Dash finally asked. Twilight gulped and pushed up her glasses. Her hooves trempling.

"Your…your not from this world." She said at last. Everypony stared.

"What the heck does that mean?!" Rainbow screamed. She might of added some more colorful words into her rant. Fluttershy meeped and covered her ears.

"Rainbow!" Her father yelled at her. "I thought I taught you better." He scolded.

"And besides!" Applejack concluded. "We have Fluttershy listenin' and ya know how much she hates cussin'!" He explained.

"Wow! You guys are mad that I cussed and not that, ya know, I'M NOT FROM THIS WORLD, MAYBE?!" She screamed.

"Excuse me? Is Applejack here?" A voice from the stairs called. Rainbow's eyes went wide.

"No, it can't be...." She muttered. Applied faceplamed herself.

"Oh, rats! Ah forgot my old friend, Rarity, was comin' from Manehattan to see me and my family today!" She complained. then she called up the steps, "Ya, I'm ah down here!" She looked back and blushed. Rainbow looked nervously at the stairs. A white mare with a curly purple mane came trotting down.

"Why, I hope you have a good explanation for this, Applejack! I mean it took me forever to find you!" She complained.

"R-rarity?" Rainbow asked. Soarin trotted over to her.

"What's wrong, Dash?" He asked. Rainbow looked like she wasn't processing everything correctly. She blinked. Her eyes narrow like a snakes. Rarity looked at her.

"Rainbow!" She cried. "It's been forever!" She said with a hink of a smile. Rainbow's breathing became shallow. Her eyes darted everywhere. The monitor beeped faster.

"No! I can't take it!" She screamed. Then she ripped off the arms that pinned her down. Then a milsecond later she was up the stairs and out the door. Twilight stood there. Staring.

"What?" Spitfire asked. She had been so quiet the whole time. Soarin almost forgot she was there.

"Each of those arm could hold down 362 pounds." She paused for a second. "Each on their own." The room was slient.

"What is happening here, darlings?" Rarity asked.
