In a flash the trio appeared right outside the hospital where Twilight and her friends were waiting. The girls blinked in shock at the size of the mare that stood before them. Had it not been for StarBell's words. They wouldn't have believed what they saw was real.

"Howdy. I'm Applejack. These are my-" Applejack started before the mare put her hoof against her mouth.

"It's a pleasure to meet you all. But if you don't mind. I'd like to see the mare that stole my baby's heart." Momma said softly.

The girls looked to StarBell for an explanation. Shrugging, she smiled. "Big Momma is like a sergeant mother for me and Ray. It's best not to get in her way when it comes to Ray."

"Is it because she's so big?" Pinkie chimed much to the horror of her friends.

Much to their surprise Momma laughed. "Oh. I like this one." She said, pulling Pinkie into a hug. "Now where is she?"

Twilight led her into the hospital and to the front desk. "We have somepony that will be able to help Rainbow." She told the nurse.

After looking between the two, the nurse sighed. "Let's hope you can help her. Right this way." She announced, leading Momma out to the garden where Rainbow sat at a table with several things on the table.

Big Momma made her way over and looked at the table, seeing a Daring Doo book, a sandwich, some juice and a board game. "This looks like an interesting book." Momma said with a smile. Without looking, Rainbow pushed the book toward her. "Do you mind if I have a seat?" She asked. After receiving a shrug she sat and opened the book. Looking over a few lines she smiled. "Ray would love this."

No response.

"I heard a rumor that Ray has a crush on somepony." She said looking at the book. After a moment of silence she went on. "Too bad really. She probably doesn't feel the same." Rainbow blinked at this and without turning her head, glared at her. Turning the page Momma continued. "Probably for the best. A strong mare-"

"Who said I'm not strong?" Rainbow snapped as she turned to fully face the mare who wasn't even fazed. "Even if you admit how you feel. It'll take more than words to convince me."

"I love Ray. OK? There I said it. And guess where he was when I woke up. GONE! HE LEFT ME!" Rainbow started to burst into tears as she went on. "The stallion I fell in love with abandoned me. ME THE ELEMENT OF LOYALTY!... How do you think I feel?"

Momma closed the book taking a deep breath. "And why did he leave?"

"What?" Rainbow asked in shock.

"Why did he leave? What happened that might cause him to, as you put it, abandon you?" Momma asked.

Rainbow sat with a sigh. "I was attacked. But I don't see how that matters. Or why you care… Who are you anyway?"

"Call me Big Momma. All my little angels do." Rainbow looked her over and snickered. "I know. Ironic, but everyone says it's a fitting name. Anyway, I don't know what happened here. But a few years ago he lost someone close to him. And likely fears that he'll lose you too."

Rainbow thought about it for a moment before looking away. "Probably already moved on." She huffed.

Taking a deep breath Momma got up and walked over to the nurse. "Please ask if anypony has some rope, a dress and a blindfold I can use on Rainbow… oh and see if there's a newspaper I can read about concerts." The nurse opened her mouth to question her. After seeing her glare nodded and passed her the paper before rushing off.

Momma returned to Rainbow and after scanning it for a bit smiled and scooped her up with one hoof and tossed the pegasus onto her back. "Ok. No more moping. Time for Momma to do her thing."

"What the hay!" Rainbow shouted in shock.

As they got back to the waiting room they saw the nurse and a white mare. "Applejack said you can use her rope. And Rarity said she had a dress for Rainbow Dash." The nurse explained.

"Got something for the club?" Momma asked. After a moment of thought the two shared a smile as Rainbow flails on mommy's back in defiance.

"Leave it to me." Rarity confirmed before levitating Rainbow into the bathroom with the rope and a box.

Several minutes later Rarity came out with Rainbow in a rather scandalous dress and a blindfold. Her wings were tucked under the dress and the rope was wrapped around her neck.

"Splendid." Momma announced as they went out the door. "Discord honey. Would you mind taking us to the stadium in Los Pegasus?" With a nod and snap the three vanished.

In a private room in Las Pegasus
"Ray!" Spike cheered, giving the stallion a hug. "Where have you been? What happened?"

"That doesn't matter." Ray countered. "Just as long as you and the others are fine."

"Dash isn't."

"What?" Ray gasped.

"She hardly does anything. Not even eat after hearing that you were gone." Spike explained.

Hearing this Ray hit his head on the wall. "Great." He muttered. "Looks like I still hurt others no matter what I do."

"Maybe if you come back-"

"No… the damage is done." Ray sighed. "I already hurt her enough. It's best that she moves on."

"But you-" Spike started before the sound of someone clearing their throat caused them to turn and look at the source.

"Sorry to interrupt your reunion. But we have to get to work." A rather chubby stallion said.

Sighing, Ray walked out with the stallion after apologizing to his friends. Before leaving, the stallion passed them tickets.

In a flash Big Momma, Discord and Rainbow appeared in front of a large stadium. Looking around Discord smiled. "Oh look. Spike and Soren are here." He announced, causing Rainbow to turn to him with an open mouth. Discord waved them over.

"Hay Discord…" Spike called. After seeing the large mare he looked at Rainbow. "Do I want to know?"

"I'm helping her get better. Do you know a way we can get into the show?" Momma asked.

"We have these VIP tickets." Soren said as Spike held up the tickets.

"We'll take it." Momma said, holding out her hoof.

Spike thought for a moment before smiling. "How about I give them to the guy at the gate for you so you can take care of Rainbow."

Big Momma patted Spike on his shoulder. "Lead the way sweetheart."

After a quick explanation to the stallion at the gate, Momma and Rainbow made their way to the show. "Looks like we have time."

"Can I take this thing off?"

"Not yet sweetie. You need to listen before you look." Momma replied.

"Hello sweetheart." A stallion said as he came over. "I wasn't expecting to find many interesting things in this place. But I'm glad to be wrong."

"Pardon?"

The stallion engorged Momma and went up behind Rainbow and was about to lick Rainbow before letting out an eap as Momma sat on him. "Oh look. The show is about to start."

As the music started, Rainbow sighed and wanted to focus on anything but whatever the show was. But as the music started, her attention was drawn to the singer and his words.

"I hurt myself today…"

Author's Note

I couldn't think of a better song for this moment. Or a better cliffhanger. You can probably imagine what's coming next. And you're probably right. So let's hear some thoughts on what the dumb stallion is thinking.
