With the weather under control, and you feeling wet and miserable, you bank towards town. "I'm taking a spa break, who's with me?"

The other pegasi cheer as they land in a neat line. You all keep your noses down and turn up the wind speed, sending yourself like a rocket across the sky. But there's one pony that isn't with you.

When you all land, you realize her presence, or lack thereof. "Where's Rainbow? She's not coming too?"

"Rainbow Dash isn't much of a spa pony." One of the pegasi explains. "She likes being outside more than just about anything. A warm bubble bath once a month is pretty much it."

The others shrug with noises of agreement. You shake your wet pelt out. "Well, fine. I plan to enjoy this. We earned it!"

The rest of you get pampered and cleaned to within an inch of your lives. You feel rejuvenated as you spread your wings. "That was great! Thanks everypony. Now let's head back!" But that's when you notice that Rainbow still isn't up in the sky. "It's not like her." You lift into the air, twirling back to the others. "Let's go check if she's still sleeping. That does sound like her."

A few laughs bubble up among the pegasi. One of them volunteers to join you in checking.

You stop at her house first. But there's no Rainbow in front, nor inside any of the windows. The two of you swoop past. "Hey." Your partner flies in. "What about the lake? She loves 'chillaxing' there."

"Hmm. Fair point." You look off into the distance, where the pond lies hidden from sight. "Let's check there first." You bank that way and begin to see ponies congregated together, looking scared about something. Rainbow wasn't with them, but you touched down anyway. "What's wrong?"

A unicorn from the crowd gasps. "You're a weather pony, right? Rainbow Dash was with us on the lake. Something happened. I think she fell in!"

Your gut tightens.

You:

A: Rush in after her!

B: Ask your buddy to help get the water in the lake out.
