Twilight's Bizarre Adventure: Memories of the Wind

Rainbow landed near some of the divets in the ground. She reached her hoof in, disrupting some of the dirt inside. "Sandbar?"

There wasn't a response.

Rainbow bit her lip. "Sandbar?"

"I'm here." A mound of dirt raised from the ground before rolling off of Sandbar's back. He looked around. "Heh. What a mess. Mind flying up for a second?"

Rainbow lifted her body off the ground. "Hey, about what you said to that guy."

"It's alright." Sandbar sent a small wave across the cemetery, removing all of the divets and prints. "I've already gotten over it."

"That's not what I mean." Rainbow planted her hooves on the ground again. "This isn't the first time you've mentioned her, but this is the first time I've seen you respond that viciously."

"Yeah. I guess I've just been letting it gnaw at me. It's fine though. I just need some-"

Rainbow pressed her hoof against her partner's nose. "It's not fine. You need to talk about it. It's been gnawing at you because you haven't let it out. And using her as an excuse to beat up everyone you don't like is not healthy."

"Well, it's not like I can talk to anyone about it! You're the only other Stand User I-"

"Then talk to me! We're friends! We've known each other for a year and a half now!" Rainbow put her wing over Sandbar's back. "Why don't you talk to me?"

Sandbar looked at her, then away from her. "It's just... hard for me to deal with."

"So don't deal with it alone. I'll lend you my ear. Any time."

"Thanks." Sandbar stumbled into Rainbow. "But later. I need to rest right now."

"That's fair." Rainbow led Sandbar away, leaving no trace of the battle that just happened.

Spike looked at Twilight as she entered the dining room. "Uh oh. Another sleepless night?"

Twilight sat down. "I can't get that thing that's been bothering me off of my mind."

Spike pointed his fork at Twilight. "So why don't you talk about it?"

Twilight's wings popped out. "It's not something I can just talk about! If what I learned is true it could tear Equestria apart!"

Spike raised an eyebrow. "I'm sure you're exaggerating."

"Not this time." Twilight quickly downed a ton of food. "I'm going to Canterlot. I need to talk to Celestia."

Spike dropped his fork. "Woah. Hold on, Twilight. Can't you put it off for one more day? I normally would be all for it, but there's a lot going on today already."

"The agriculture meeting, Princess Skystar's visit, and Rarity's surgery are all today."

Twilight sighed. "I know, Spike, but four days is long enough. I can't keep putting this off."

Starlight didn't even lower her newspaper. "Nice to know you still acknowledge me."

Spike hopped out of his seat as Twilight headed to the door. "Can't you tell me what's bothering you?"

Twilight looked over her shoulder. "No, Spike. I wouldn't even trust Pinkie with this kind of secret."

"Oh, geez. That bad, huh? Well, I'll let Celestia know you're on your way."

"Thanks." Twilight headed out of her castle. The things she heard the other night were still echoing through her head, especially what the parrot said about the Stand Hunter, who had killed numerous Stand Users. But what really stood out to her, what kept her up ever since, was the note she was given.

Celestia is the Stand Hunter.
