I was laying on a cloud, I was about to take a nap when I heard Pinkie shout “Rainbow let’s go pranking!”

If there was one thing worth interrupting my nap it was to go and prank some ponies. I flew down and landed next to Pinkie “Alright. Let’s do it! So who should we do first, Pinkie?”

Pinkie smiled “Applejack, I have an idea.” We snuck to Sweet Apple Acres, together we painted all the apples on the farm yellow. We his behind a bush as Applejack looked at all the trees, I had to stifle my laughter “That was a good one Pinkie.” We tried to sneak away only to trip on a wire, a tub of green paint falling on us.

Applejack galloped over to us, she smirked “Ah knew you would try something like this so I set up tripwires in all the hiding places I could think of so I could catch you out. Besides you love good prank so I thought I would prank you back.” Pinkie and I smiled before laughing. Applejack grinned “Now you two better get cleaned up if you wish to do anymore pranking.”

Applejack got a hose and washed us down, after we dried off we decided to prank Twilight next. We snuck into the library. We grabbed some of the books and swapped their places on the bookshelves. We burst into laughter as Twilight screamed, I nudged Pinkie “It’s good to be back doing pranks again.”

Pinkie giggled “I agree Dashie, now let’s go do some more pranking.” We snuck up behind Rarity’s boutique, Pinkie looked at me with curiosity “What are you planning?” I smirked as I changed forms and let out a mighty roar. Pinkie bounced “You can turn into a dragon! That’s amazing!” I grinned as Rarity screamed running out of the boutique.

We turned around to see Fluttershy glaring at me “Rainbow, you should not use that power to scare people. Applejack told me about your little ability and I have been keeping an eye on you in case you try to do something stupid. Dragon Hunters do exist and they will come for you, I know because I am one of them. If Applejack didn’t tell me yesterday then you would be dead.”

I blinked “Wait your a Dragon Hunter! Why did you never tell me about it?”

Fluttershy frowned “You are not the best secret keeper and if anyone finds out I will become a puppet of the nobles. Dragon Slayers belong to the state because we are so dangerous, I would rather not become a slave to them if I can help it.” I rubbed the back of my head as did Pinkie, she sighed “Just didn't do again and neither of you tell anyone about me.”

We nodded as Fluttershy took off, I returned to normal. Pinkie and I headed to Sugarcube Corner, Scootaloo, Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle were sitting at the counter. I took a seat next to them, “How are you three doing? I was expecting you to be going on a crusade right now.”

Apple Bloom frowned “We are currently having a break, we need to think about what we actually want to do in the future before going on any more crusades. We kind of just run around trying things willy nilly, we decided to take more time to think about it.”

I smiled “Well I’m glad you are finally putting some more thought into it.”

Scootaloo frowned “Why are you here Rainbow? Usually you would be sleeping on a cloud or pranking somepony?”

I rubbed the back of my head “Pinkie and I were pranking until Fluttershy took notice of us. She told us quite a bit, she also was also quite angry and made it pretty clear she didn't approve of our actions. I never thought that she would be so openly confident.”

Sweetie Belle nodded “She has been quite bold lately, after we saw Snips and Snails head into the Everfree Forest Scootaloo and I told Fluttershy. She went after them and two hours later she brought them back. After that when we to go to Zecora’s she escorted us there, even the Timberwolves didn’t want to get close.”

I blinked “Fluttershy toughened up a lot since we left.”

Sweetie Belle nodded “Granny Smith has been much more active, going into town and rallying the spirits of everyone. Rarity has been far less dramatic, often taking everything incredibly seriously. Whenever she is not working she has been going to the town hall to provide assistance there. I don’t see her very often.”

I frowned “Things will return to normal I’m sure, everyone is back and getting back into the groove of everyday life.” Before another word could be spoken, Pinkie bounced over placing milkshakes in front of us. Strawberry for Sweetie Belle, chocolate for Scootaloo, vanilla for Apple Bloom and mint for me. I smiled “Thanks Pinkie Pie.”

Pinkie Pie smiled “Your welcome Rainbow.” Pinkie Pie bounced away, I looked around as I drank my milkshake. Mr and Mrs Cake were busy baking. Diamond Tiara and Sliver Spoon were arguing in the corner about something before glaring towards us. I glared back cause them to shy away. Lyra bounced in to the shop with a huge smile she was unusually happy about something.

Lyra came over to us with a big grin “Applejack listened to me talk about humans!” I raised an eyebrow, I had no idea why Applejack would humour her. Lyra was nice enough but I didn’t believe her theories. Lyra continued on “She even told me that someone called Sarah matched my description of humans.”

Apple Bloom and I both turned to her, I thought back to some of the things that Lyra mentioned about humans. So many things about Sarah matched that description, it seems Applejack figured that out first and thus went to the expert on the topic. There does seem to be some secrets that are being kept about that. I wonder, maybe Sarah could find out more in her position.
