Rainbow Dash yawned, and curled up tightly on the cloud she was napping on. She managed to get the sun out of her eyes, and was drifting back to sleep when she heard voices from below.
I'm singing a song
And I'm joining in with you
I'll add in my voice
And Ah will too
We all sing happily together, as we walk through the town!
Rainbow opened her eyes, and sat up on her cloud. She looked down to see Twilight Sparkle, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, and Applejack walking through Ponyville. While singing.
They're... singing? thought Rainbow, blinking in confusion. Am I still asleep or something?
Happily looking out for our friends
While we sing this happy tune
Joyfully we walk around
While lookin' for 'em too
Fluttershy! Rainbow Dash! Where are you two?
We just can't seem to find them
Looking all around Ponyville
Maybe Dashie's napping on a cloud somewhere
Maybe Fluttershy is hiding around somewhere
Rainbow blinked once more in shock.
Uh, what?
She covered her mouth with her hooves in surprise.
Am I singing?
Her eyes widened in surprise, and Rainbow looked down at her friends as they continued singing.
Maybe Rainbow's off doin' a trick
Maybe Fluttershy's taking care of an animal
But we can just singing as we look for them
They can't be too far away
Fluttershy! Rainbow Dash! Where are you two?
We just can't seem to find them
Looking all around Ponyville
We'll find them around somewhere
Okay, this is just creepy. thought Rainbow, standing up on her cloud. I'll go ask Twilight what's going on.
Uh, Rainbow Dash?
Rainbow instantly turned around to see Fluttershy hovering next to her, looking far more nervous than usual.
Do you know why I can't stop singing whenever I speak?
Oh, good, you've noticed too!
I have no idea what's going on, but nopony else really seems surprised!
And for some reason I feel like we're the only ones actually ending our sentences.
Should we ask Twilight what's going on?
We'll find them around somewhere!
Both pegasi looked down, where Twilight and the others were still singing.
Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash! Where are you two?
We just can't seem to find them
Looking all around Ponyville
I don't that Twilight's going to be very helpful right now.
We'll find them around somewhere!
Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash! Where are you two?
We just can't seem to find them
Looking all around Ponyville
Um, didn't they just say, er, sing that?
We'll find them around somewhere
Ugh, I think they're going to repeat it again!
Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash! Where are you two?
We just can't seem to find them
Looking all around Ponyville
Maybe... This is our cue to join in with them?
I am not singing a song!
You're singing right now.
Because I can't help it!
Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash! Where are you two?
But this is getting really annoying, so let's give it a try!
Rainbow quickly flew down to her friends, with Fluttershy quickly following her. They all looked up at the two pegasi simultaneously, and all smiled.
Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash! Here you are!
What are you up to right now?
Rainbow crossed her forehooves, and stared at them. All four blinked, before breaking out of their identical pose.
"Why, hello, darlings." said Rarity, not singing. "How are you today?"
"Please tell me you're joking." said Rainbow. "You guys were all just singing!"
"No, we weren't." said Twilight, looking confused.
"Ooh, are you pulling a prank on us, Dashie?" asked Pinkie, bouncing up to her. "That's sounds great!"
"No, really!" said Rainbow. "The four of your were just singing! Fluttershy can vouch for me!"
"Really?" asked Twilight, turning towards Fluttershy. "We were just singing and don't remember it?"
"Uh, yes..." said Fluttershy. "We were singing too, but it was because it happened whenever we tried to talk..."
Twilight blinked in confusion, before suddenly smiling.
Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy, here you are!
I can't believe me didn't see you
But we can tell what you two doing
And we aren't gonna pry
What the hay are you talking about?
Oh, come on!
Because it's meant to be
The way that you look at each other
Rainbow's eyes widened, and she flew a few wingbeats back.
And this just got really creepy.
Meant to be that you're together
I am officially terrified.
Let's go before this gets really weird!
The way you bat your eyes makes it so obvious!
Rainbow and Fluttershy both flew away from their friends as fast as possible. They stopped at Fluttershy's cottage, and landed on the ground.
"What in Equestria is going on?!?" cried Rainbow. "Our friends don't know that they're randomly singing, and now they're shipping us together!!!"
Fluttershy whimpered nervously. "I don't like being shipped..."
Music suddenly started up, and Rainbow looked around panicked.
"No, no, no!" she yelled. "No music!"
The music cut off, and she gave a sigh of relief before it started up again.
"NO MUSIC!"
The music cut off once more, before starting up a second later.
I don't we can stop it...
"Gah, no, no, no!" cried Rainbow. "Fluttershy, try not sing!"
I'm singing? Eek! I am singing!
Fluttershy took a funny step, and blinked in surprise.
I didn't do that on purpose.
"Huh?" asked Rainbow.
I think I'm dancing!
Fluttershy took more steps, and looked at Rainbow nervously.
What's going on?
This can't be happening!
Don't tell me it's a song!
It's a song!
No, no, no, no!
This has gone too far!
Please just pause the DVR!
What is that?
I don't know!
Someone won't you make it stop!
Both ponies started dancing, and the music continued playing from who-knows-where.
I'm losing my mind!
This is a huge problem!
Everything I say, it rhymes!
Here comes another line:
Rainbow managed to cover her mouth to block out the next line, before she started dancing once more.
Um, just close your eyes
If you don't wanna see
What's this choreography?
Someone won't you make it stop!
Oh, I can't stop singing!
Make it stop, make it stop!
Am I real or just a prop?
Oh, I can't stop singing
So let's just talk!
Talk
Talk!
A spotlight appeared from nowhere, and focused on Rainbow and Fluttershy.
Someone won't you make it, make it stop?!?
Please make it stop!
Oh, I can't stop singing!
Make it stop, make it stop!
Am I real or just a prop?
Oh, I can't stop singing
So let's just talk!
Talk
Talk
Talk
Talk
Talk
Talk
Talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk!
I feel like we're talking weird
I just wanna make it stop!
Oh, I can't stop singing!
Make it stop, make it stop!
Am I real or just a prop?
Oh, I can't stop singing
Does it stop, does it stop?
Is it ever gonna stop?
Oh, I can't stop singing
So let's just
Talk!
The song continued playing, but Rainbow finally managed to stop dancing. Fluttershy continued dancing, and Rainbow tried to make her stop.
Someone make it stop!
I just wanna make it stop!
Oh, I can't stop singing!
Make it stop, make it stop!
Am I real or just a prop?
Oh, I can't stop singing
Does it stop, does it stop?
Is it ever gonna stop?
Oh, I can't stop singing
So let's just
Talk!
The music cut off, and Fluttershy finally stopped dancing. Rainbow took in a breath of relief.
"Okay, we need to find somepony to make this stop!"
The music started up again, and Rainbow looked up at the sky.
"STOP!"
The music cut off, and didn't start up again. Rainbow sighed, and collapsed on the ground.
"Ugh... We really need to find somepony to solve this."
"Unless..." said Fluttershy. "Is this a dream?"
"I asked that earlier."
"Did you pinch yourself to check?"
Rainbow's eyes widened, and she groaned. "Nope."
And just like that, everything faded away as Rainbow woke up. She sat up from her cloud bed, just as FLuttershy flew in.
"Oh, you're awake!" she said happily. "You had such a high fever, and we were all so worried about you!"
"Fever dreams are awful." said Rainbow, putting a hoof to her forehead. "Ugh, I'm boiling."
"I know what will make you feel better!" Fluttershy smiled.
"Wait, are you going-"
"A song!"
"OH COME ON!"
