I’m not sure what to think after what happened last night. I’m shocked and I am also REALLY glad that he felt the same way I did. If he didn’t, well, I don’t want to think about that.

I am expecting to have to talk to him about my “job”. I don’t know if I should tell him or not. I decided not to, but then remembered that it was the closest chance I had to ever getting back home without getting arrested. I had no other option, but what would I tell them? “Hey, I travel through different dimensions protecting aliens!”. Like they’re going to believe that. I got to tell them though. It will endanger them all. I will tell Soarin about it later.

We were eating lunch when Soarin asked, “About your ‘job’... what exactly is it?”

Great. Right when I tell myself I’ll do it later, I’m forced to do it now.

"Okay. If I tell you this, you have to pinkie promise me that you will be extra safe, and will always remember that you are in danger if you here this.”

“I cross my heart and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye,” Soarin said, doing the gestures.

“Okay... I travel through dimensions protecting people.”

“Seriously?! You’ve GOT to be joking!”

I could tell he was mad, but I had to tell the truth. Everyone knows that I am a bad liar!

“Do you think I’m joking?” I responded, glaring at him.

He looked at me, scanning me like a machine.

“You’re telling the truth?” Soarin asked, calming down.

“Yes! It is the only way I can ever have a normal life! I will have to tell everyone.” I said.

“So... that explains the portal. Does that mean time travel is possible?”

“Yes.”

“Wow! Can you show me?”

“No, it would cause too much damage if I did a double rainboom.”

“Wait... you can perform the double rainboom!?”

“Yes, I just have to perform it in a protected area.”

“Oh.”

We sat in silence for a bit.

“So... when do you plan to go back home?” Soarin asked.

“I was thinking tonight. So it is less crowded.”

“Okay. Now all that ‘required’ stuff actually makes sense.” Soarin said.

“Let’s pack up, shall we?”

We packed our stuff. It only took a minute since we didn’t bring a lot. We barely even brought anything. Only our bags.

Since we were done quickly, I was bored. I laid on the ground just staring up at the sky.

I flew up and went for a fly. I got bored of flying for an hour straight, so I went back down. I then remembered Soarin was here.

I turned to Soarin. “So... what do you want to do?”

“I just want to be with you.”

I smiled at that. I sat next to him and we kissed. We stayed like that for a full half hour. We hugged each other and kissed deeply. I have to say, that was the best half hour of my life!

By the time we finished, it was dark.

“Let’s go now.”

It was a one hour flight home. By the time we got there, it was really dark, and no one was out. We flew to the castle of friendship, and I knocked.

“Hello? Is anyone home?” I asked.

I heard someone walking to the door. The door opened and Twilight opened the door.

“Why are you up so la-“ then she looked at me.

She yelped and said, “Rainbow? Didn’t expect to see you here. Come in.”

“You know, I kinda expected you to arrest me since I’m... you know, wanted?”

“I wouldn’t ever do that! We’re friends! So, now that you are here, you are going to tell us about your ‘job’, right?” Twilight said.

“It’s really hard to explain, but I will tell you.”

“Okay. I will gather the others.”

“Hey, Twilight, why don’t I tell you, and then you can tell the others. I don’t like talking about it.”

Twilight thought about it, then gave me a nod.

“Okay, I’ll tell the others. Of course, after you tell me.”

We went to Twilight’s throne room and we sat at the table.

“So, what is this job of yours?” Twilight asked me, bringing out her pen and paper to write down notes.

I told her everything, and luckily, she believed it.

“It is unbelievable that you do that! Why didn’t you tell me sooner!”

“Because, if I told you, the enemies might target you guys to hold you hostage and I might die trying to save you!”

“Oh. That makes sense,” she said, writing everything down.

“Just out of curiosity, how much are you paid?”

“It depends on how hard the battle was,” I told her, “So, I get 100-1000000 bits every battle.”

Everyone in that room stared at me.

“You get THAT much money!?!?”

“Yeah. What do you expect? For me to get like ten bits from getting my leg shot off?”

“Does that sort of stuff happen?” Soarin asked me, worried for my safety.

“Yes, on my first mission, I was almost killed!” I told them.

“Rainbow! You can always ask us for help, you know.” Twilight told me.

“The thing is, they only except the best of the best! I was recruited because they knew I had potential! Soarin is fast, but he probably won’t ever get recruited.” I said.

“Interesting... let me write that down.”

A few moments later, Twilight asked me, "So, because of your job, survival skills are required in order to join. Did I get that right?”

“Yes, you did.

“Okay, so you said you are always learning knew things that are very advanced. Name one.”

I thought about what to tell them. Then I remembered that I recently learned how to shoot a laser beam using my Pegasus magic.

“Watch this,” I told them.

I aimed my hoof at the wall and I closed my eyes. I tried to push the magic inside of me to my hoof. I felt the magic at my hoof and tried to push it out of me. Come on, just a little more!

BANG! A large laser beam about a foot wide shot out from my hoof. The blast was so powerful that I was knocked back and I hit my head on the table. Everything went black. The only thing I could here was the faint calling from my friends.

“Rainbow! Wake up!”
