Hello everypony, I would just like you to point out any errors (spelling, grammar, etc) and hope you enjoy!

So Rainbow is a ghost?

“Ah hope everypony is ok” Applejack sighed.

“M-me two” The pair looked at each other.

“Especially Pinkie” Fluttershy has a hard time trotting with the throughts swirling through her mind, while silence reigned between the two mares, luckily for Fluttershy she didn’t have to break it.

“Ah wonder why Rainbow didn’t want us to tell Pinkie”

Fluttershy didn’t respond. She just took a few breaths in and started to tune her friend out. This wasn’t her normal behavior but it was impossible for her not to.

Thoughts were taking over and she couldn’t control.

Rainbow is a ghost. Rainbow is a ghost. The thought repeated endlessly.

One of Pinkie’s clones is still alive. One of Pinkie’s clones is still alive. Another thought that continued endlessly in her mind.

“Ah just hope this whole thing will get sorted out, right Fluttershy?” Applejack waited no less than 3 seconds then turned to her left.

“Fluttershy?”

Applejack saw the familiar yellow and pink Pegasus spaced out.

Applejack stepped in front of Fluttershy.

Applejack and Fluttershy crashed into each other, Fluttershy snapping back into reality.

“Oh, i’m sorry Applejack, that was very rude of me” Applejack smiled

“No worries, it ain’t a problem”

“How about y’all go home and talk to your animals, maybe they’ll help calm you down”

Fluttershy swiftly nodded and sighed

“Again, i’m Sorry for spacing out. I’ll see you tommorow, goodbye”

The two mares parted ways.

====================================

Rainbow was sitting in the hospital room with Pinkie Pie. She thought about everything that happened, and regretted telling everypony that she isn’t dead.

Rainbow somewhat wishes she was dead. Why the buck dose she have to be a ghost?

She watched Pinkie, laying in the hospital bed.

Pinkie was still unconscious. Rainbow couldn’t help but feel it was partly her fault.

She could have interfered sooner before anypony got hurt, or she could have just not used Pinkie’s body to tell everypony. Pinkie was weak already. Rainbow forcing her body to stand up and say a few words was beyond dangerous.

Rainbow was only trying to help, but all she did was cause more harm. Rainbow stood up.

She walked to another hospital room, to see Twilight.

Rainbow suddenly had an idea.

Rainbow entered Twilight’s hospital room after a bit of searching. She looked around and realized that Twilight was talking to a nurse.

Rainbow saw her chance and took it.

She took full control over the nurses body.

Twilight watched him go all stiff, fall onto the ground and get back up.

“Doctor are you alright!?” Twilight gasped. Rainbow ignored this question.

“Twilight, i’m Sorry” Twilight’s face went from surprised to utterly confused.

“Pardon?” Rainbow sighed

“It’s me Twilight, Rainbow Dash” Twilight stopped her breathing and sighed

“What are you doing here Rainbow Dash?” Rainbow Dash turned away

“This is all my fault, I saw Pinkemena bring you into that basement, I saw her get ready to kill you, and I saw you teleport out. I could’ve helped but I didn’t”

Tears rolled down “Rainbow Dash’s” face.

“I’m sorry Twilight. I could have helped sooner, but I didn’t and i’m sorry for that. I just hope you’ll forgive me”

Twilight grinned

“I forgive you Rainbow, but don’t take control of random ponies bodies, I don’t know how that would possible be comfortable for them” Rainbow sighed

“I guess you’re right, goodbye Twilight, I hope I can see you soon” Twilight nodded.

Rainbow exited the body of the staliion and ran away to Rarity’s hospital room.

====================================

“Hm hm hm hm hm hm hm hmmmm” Fluttershy started humming any song that came to her mind. In between the songs her and her animals would talk a bit. Not anything abnormal. For a pony who can speak animal at least.

All was going fine until. Until. Angel bunny shut up in the middle of a sentence. Fluttershy picked him up.

“Oh, Angel are you ok?” She pulled him away to do some medical tests to make sure he is ok. Then he started talking again

“Fluttershy, sorry if I scared you” Fluttershy’s eyes widened and she squeezed Angel’s body a little too hard.

“Oooh Angel i’m So glad your ok, but-but what happened”

“FLUTTERSHY!!! It’s me Rainbow Dash! I’m sorry I scared you” Fluttershy put her bunny’s body down on the floor.

“Are you ok Rainbow?” Rainbow shook her little bunny head

“I-it’s a long story, but I wish I would just die already and not be a ghost, look i’m sorry for bothering you but i’m just saying hi to everypony” seconds before Fluttershy could reply her light blue friend exited the body of her beloved bunny.

====================================

Pinkie groaned. Finally gaining consciousness after a long sleep from her bloody battle with Pinkemena.

Pinkie immediately relized where she was and smiled to herself.

She was alive! Honestly, she couldn’t belive it.

Pinkie soon found that her bad thoughts started to take over. What if Pinkemena finds her? This is going to be so boring until somepony else comes!

All of Pinkie’s thoughts where washed away at the sound of a pony walking into her room.

She exepected it to be a doctor or a nurse or one of her friends but no. She knew her life was over the second she saw the blood stained, dark pink, fur.

A knife was in her jaw.

The voice of this monster was dark, and threatening.

“Hello Pinkie, we meet again, we never finished our little game, I came here to end it”

This was the end of Pinkie and she knew it.

Pinkemena came charging at Pinkie.

Pinkie watched as Pinkemena suddenly froze up and fell on the ground.

What the??! Pinkie thought. The clone lay on the floor motionless.

Pinkie watched as...

====================================

Rainbow Dash had talked to all of her friends except Pinkie, she wasn’t planning on it, and she wasn’t going to do it.

Rainbow had been sitting in Pinkie’s hospital room waiting for her to wake up. The chances of that happening seemed pretty slim.

Then... then Rainbow’s prayers had been answered.

Rainbow saw Pinkie’s eyes open.

She was alive. Rainbow smiled to herself until she heard hoof steps out the door.

At first Rainbow thought nothing of this, just a doctor or nurse or somepony else coming to check on Pinkie, but no.

The worst thing that possibly could happen, just happened.

Rainbow noticed the dark pink mare the second she appeared into her vision.

Rainbow knew Pinkie would definitely be more scared than Rainbow Dash at the moment.

“Hello Pinkie, we meet again, we never finished our little game, I came here to end it”

Pinkemena said through the knife in her teeth.

Pinkemena started to charge.

Rainbow didn’t want to show Pinkie that she didn’t exatly die, but that was easily better than letting Pinkie die.

Rainbow swiftly took control of Pinkemena’s body.

Rainbow felt her take control of a body once again. It is a strange feeling. Rainbow can’t imagine how strange it feels to the pony she is taking control of.

Rainbow got up and turned to Pinkie, tears streaming down her face. Pinkie said in between sobs.

“P-please don’t hurt me I haven’t done anything to you Pinkemena!”

Rainbow sighed

“Pinkie, i’m Not Pinkiemena” Pinkie frowned

“Of corse your Pinkemena you look exatly like me with only a few minor changes and you tried to kill me, that sounds like a Pinkemena to me”

Rainbow facehoofed.

“Pinkie, it’s me Rainbow i’m a ghost, I guess you could say, and I took control of Pinkemena’s body to save you”

Pinkie sighed

“Pinkemena you aren’t going to fool me, I’m not dumb”

Rainbow sighed

“How can I prove to you i’m Rainbow Dash?”

“Tell me something only Rainbow Dash would know.. like when we were trying to get the elements of harmony, how did nightmare moon try to stop you?”

Rainbow Dash smirked

“The Shadowbolts” Rainbow’s smirk faded

“Wait how did you know about that you were on the other side of the bridge”

Pinkie frowned

Rainbow smirked again

“Guess I can’t underestimate the power of Pinkie” Pinkie smiled

“I guess so”

More hoofsteps came from outside the room.

Rainbow and Pinkie both turned toward the door to reveal Applejack and Fluttershy. The second they saw “Pinkemena” Fluttershy hid behind Applejack and Applejack got ready to fight

“You hurt Pinkie once, we won’t let you hurt her again”

Fluttershy whispered

“D-don’t hurt me p-please”

This took Rainbow by surprise, giving Applejack enough time to run up to Rainbow and punch her, making her hit the hospital wall and fall on the floor.

“No Applejack please, it’s me Rainbow Dash”

Applejack frowned even harder

“Ah know a lie when ah see one”

Applejack grabbed the knife that Pinkemena brought in and stuck it into Pinkemena’s body.

Rainbow screamed in pain and exited Pinkemena’s body, not wanting to feel any more of it.

She saw Fluttershy cowering in the corner. Rainbow looked toward Pinkie and relized that she was gone.

Where did she go? Rainbow Dash wondered.

A nurse walked in.

“What is all the racket—“ The nurse noticed Applejack attacking a pony that looked like Pinkie Pie and Pinkie gone from her bed.

Applejack noticed the nurse, and looked over at the bed to Pinkie, noticing she was gone.

The nurse’s first throught was that Applejack was trying to kill Pinkie.

He noticed Fluttershy cowering in the corner of the room.

He quickly sent a letter to Princess Celestia that Applejack tried to kill Pinkie Pie.

More than just royal guards came, the princess herself came.

Applejack noticed the crowd of officials gathering behind her and jumped out the window . Not wanting to be put in jail everypony presumed.
Although it is confusing, why did Applejack run. She could explain it, then ask Fluttershy to back her up.

Fluttershy ran past all of them and informed Twilight.

“Twilight!”

Twilight was reading a book in her hospital bed.

She noticed Fluttershy, and fear was written all over her.

“Fluttershy, what’s wrong?”

Fluttershy spoke

“Pinkemena was in Pinkie’s room when Applejack and I went to go check on her, Applejack attacked Pinkemena but while that was happening Pinkie disappeared, and somepony sent a letter to Celestia, when everypony came they saw Applejack attacking Pinkemena, but they all thought that was Pinkie, so everypony thinks Applejack is Pinkie’s attacker, once Applejack noticed everypony she jumped out a window and I was to scared to help”

Fluttershy gasped a breath of air. Twilight frowned

“Wow that is.... is...” Fluttershy finished her friend’s sentence

“Terrifying?” Just as Twilight was about to respond, the door flew open and there stood a tall figure with a flowing mane.

The pair immediately knew who this was.

Celestia smiled

“Fluttershy, you have told Twilight about our situation?”

Fluttershy smiled weakly

“Yes”

Celestia sighed

“And no need to worry, we know that wasn’t Pinkie, but we still need to figure out why Applejack was punching a Pinkie look alike, and why there is one anyway”

Twilight sighed

“Alright”

“It started when the Pinkie clone convinced me to come bake cupcakes with her—“

====================================

“—then Rainbow somehow possessed Pinkie’s body or something, and told us that Pinkemena had killed her and now she was a ghost”

Fluttershy had been covering her ears, not wanting to relive the moment.

Celestia nodded

“I suppose only Pinkie or the clone knows how it came about” Twilight and Fluttershy nodded in agreement.

Celestia sighed

“This was helpful, but we still need to figure out where Applejack and Pinkie Pie went”

Fluttershy gasped

“Thank goodness Applejack didn’t die from the fall!”

Twilight glared at Fluttershy

“That was a little... morbid”

Celestia sighed

“Her body wasn’t there, so we assume she is very much alive”

Celestia frowned

“Twilight I know your in no shape to help, but Fluttershy will”

Twilight sighed

“I really wish I could help” Fluttershy waved a hoof goodbye as she walked out of the room.

Suddenly she remembered something and ran off.

Celestia pulled her by magic.

“Fluttershy? What are you doing?”

Fluttershy was covering her face with her wings

“I-I need t-tell Rarity”

“Well I guess you can go, just come back to Pinkie’s room when your done” Celestia had said.

Fluttershy nodded to her Princess.

====================================

“Good, we need all the help we can get”

Fluttershy started messing with her mane.

“How can I help anyway?”

Celestia sighed

“I wouldn’t want to tell you, in case you back out” Fluttershy covered herself with her wings

“O-ok”

Fluttershy peeked through her wings. She watched as Celestia’s horn glowed very bright, comparable to the sun.

Then Fluttershy could only see blackness, but she was sure that she was very much conscious.

She moved her wings away from her face and looked around her. She was scared already, but seeing nothing but blackness was terrifying.

Fluttershy again covered herself with her wings.

She stayed in this pose until something confusing happened.

She heard Applejack yelling

“Ah know a lie when ah see one!”

Fluttershy lifted her wings to realize she was reliving a memory. Not just like when you remember something so vividly it feels like your there, she was physically there and reliving it.

Fluttershy figured out what Celestia was trying to do.

Fluttershy ran over to Pinkie who was still there, on the bed.

Applejack grabbed the knife, and Fluttershy watched as Pinkie was swiftly engulfed in magic, then she disappeared.

Fluttershy wondered where Pinkie was taken.

Fluttershy ran over to the window, and waited for that crowd to gather again.

Applejack noticed and jumped out.

Fluttershy watched this time.

She jumped herself but quickly steadied herself using her wings.

Applejack fell to the ground then quickly got on her hooves and ran.

How did she survive that fall?! It was a two story drop! Fluttershy wondered.

Suddenly Fluttershy was back in reality.

Celestia sighed

“Thank you, this information will be useful, you can leave now”

Fluttershy sighed.

She didn’t respond, she just walked out.

Down the stairs.

Through Ponyville.

To her cottage.

It was as simple as that, yet Fluttershy saw a pink blue enter Twilight’s room.

Fluttershy wanted to rush in there and see what it was, but she felt that she had been bothering Twilight. Visiting her twice within half and hour and all.

Finally Fluttershy got to her cottage.

She didn’t feel like doing much.

She fed the animals and went to bed.

====================================

Twilight was too busy thinking about the whole situation, to continued reading her book.

Twilight heard a “whoosh!” Sound and looked up.

The door opened and Twilight hoped it wasn’t just a doctor or nurse, she wanted somepony to talk to.

The pony stepped inside and it was... Twilgiht blinked her eyes reassuring herself she wasn’t seeing anything.

Again she saw the same pony, Pinkie Pie, what had happened to her, and why was she in Twilight’s room now?
