"WHAT!" shrieked Rainbow Dash.

"That's right Crash, all of Ponyville is in war torn state because of YOUR relationship" said Spitfire, pulling Rainbow off the bed. Rainbow Dash fell of the bed with a thud.

"But what about Celestia and Luna or Cadence? Can't they intervene? " asked Rainbow.

Spitfire chuckled, "They would, if they weren't part of the war too! Celestia is with Quibble, Luna with Zephyr and Cadence with Soarin"

Rainbow Dash groaned, and unwillingly peeked out of the window. All of Ponyville was deserted, the town silent, and tumbleweed passed by.

"Huh? Where is everypony?" asked Rainbow Dash.

Spitfire pointed towards Sugar Cube Corner. Rainbow could very vaguely hear voices. She got out of bed, and flew out the door, motioning Spitfire to come follow her. The two quietly flew to Sugar Cube Corner, and the voices got louder. As she peeped inside, there were a bunch of posters with her and Zephyr's face in a heart shape. A huge mob was gathered, and a stage set up in the center, Zephyr and Pinkie standing there.

"This is it my Zephyr Dash followers, we attack tommorow, when the sun is at it's peak!" declared Pinkie Pie, "Come to the Table of War to see our formation"

Rainbow glanced at Spitfire, "What's the table of war?"

Spitfire sighed, "You've been gone for a while. You see, each of the Princesses has made a map to plan war strategy"

"War?"

"Tomorrow midday, there will be a war in Town Square"

"WHAT!"

"You know Rainbow, never thought you to be one of those 'Mare in demand for boys' " chuckled Spitfire.

Rainbow growled, "I've got to stop this!"


Rainbow Dash flew to Twilight's castle, hid behind on of the crystals in the throne room.

"Tomorrow, we'll show everyone Quibble Pants is the one!" announced Twilight, to a cheering crowd gathered around the Cutie Map, which was very different now. It had been zoomed in only to see Ponyville, and every inch of it. Large groups of cutie marks were surrounding different parts of the town. This war the 'War Map'!

Rainbow Dash started hyperventilating. All of Ponyville was war torn because of her love life! Even the Princesses were involved! If this went to high court, she was dead... and if anyone died she would never forgive herself!

It was time to go to the final stop. A large cheer arose from Town Hall. Rainbow knew what this was. She zoomed to the Hall and looked through the window. Obviously, this was Team Soarin. Town Hall was covered in photos advertising 'SoarinDash'. "Oh no" groaned Rainbow.

A handsome light blue pegasus with a dark blue man came out. Rainbow sighed. Here we go. Rarity and Applejack stepped out from behind the curtains, "It is time for the other teams to pay!" roared Rarity.

The mob roared with enthusiasm and pride for their team. Rainbow Dash had enough!

"STOP!" she screamed, stepping into Town Hall. The hall went silent, with bated breath, waiting for their leaders to make a call.

"Rainbow is destined for Soarin! She couldn't resist him!" shouted someone from the crowd. The hall erupted in proud cheers, as Soarin flew to Rainbow. He inched forward until Rainbow placed a hoof to stop him.

"So Dash, did you choose me?" yelled Soarin, over the cheering crowd.

"NO! I WANT YOU TO STOP THE WAR!"

Soarin's face grew cold, "I'm sorry Rainbow, we need to settle this once and for all"

"Please Soarin?" Rainbow made the most irresistable cute expression she could. Soarin moaned, closing his eyes, and turning away.

"Despite you're overwhelmingly cute face, I'm sorry, this war must happen" said Soarin, face stiffening, "And nothing can change my mind"


Rainbow flew towards Sugar Cube Corner. Maybe Zephyr could stop this. She stepped inside, as everyone froze.

"RAINBOW CHOSE ZEPHYR!!!" screeched Pinkie. Everyone started screaming wildly. Rainbow moaned, as Zephyr glided towards her, "Nice to know you chose me, now how about we go for a fly?"

Rainbow opened her mouth to respond, but Soarin zipped in front of Rainbow.

"Dash, is this hipster annoying you?"

Before Rainbow could answer, Soarin tackled Zrphyr to the ground.

"This ends now!" shouted Soarin. From behind him, hundreds of SoarinDash followers stormed and attacked the Zephyr Dashers.

"On your mark, get set, go!" called Zephyr, shoving Soarin off him. All of the ZephyrDash fans attacked, and cheered loudly. Of course, who was missing in this mess?

Quibble Pants jumped from behind a cake stand at attacked as well, slapping and punching the other.

Rainbow felt her blood boil. These were HER relashionship, and she wasn't just some prize to be won!

"Please, you have to listen to me!" screamed Rainbow, but everyone was too busy fighting to pay attention. Everyone was in war, but she knew one zebra who would never change!


"Zecora, you in there, hurry up!" said Rainbow, knocking impatiently.

"Rainbow Dash, so like you to come in a flash" smiled Zecora ushering her inside.

"Zecora, it's an emergency!" said Rainbow, sipping tea after five minutes.

"Tell me, what has brought you to my tree?" asked Zecora.

"All of Ponyville is in war for my love life" said Rainbow uneasily, rubbing her neck.

"Ah, I know lf this issue, would you still need a tissue?"

"No, but can you stop them?" asked Rainbow.

"A certain mare who is prudent, perhaps Twilight Sparkle's student?" advised Zecora, sprinkling green herbs in her potion.

"Of couse! Starlight! Thanks Zecora" said Rainbow, zooming off to Twilight's castle.


Rainbow Dash ran inside the deserted castle of Friendship, since everyone was at Sugar cube corner. Rainbow busrt opened Starlight's door.

"Starlight where are you?" A small peep came from under the bed.

"I'm not choosing a side" said Starlight, from under the bed. Rainbow looked underneath, and rolled her eyes.

"Sorry, I can't choose!" said Starlight, getting out, as dusting herself off.

"No, no, I need you help!" explained Rainbow, "Can you stop all this?"

Starlight's eyes shone, "I think I do"
