Every year, when it comes down to a few days before Rainbow Dash's birthday, the speedster pegasus hides out in her cloud home away from her friends. What keeps up her there, none of them know. During a friendly get together at Sugarcube Corner, one thing leads to another and the conversation ends up on the situation. About half way through the small talk, Fluttershy sneaks out without notice and makes her way to the cloud home, to try and find the answer.
