Dash was soon inside the apple family residence , sitting comfortably at the kitchen table alongside the two members of the CMC's. There was an awkward silence between the three of them as they , especially Dash struggled to find the right words to say to each other. When informed by the youngest apple sibling that her older sister along with the others left home last month, the element of loyalty was desperate for answers . Just then big Mac walked in and presented the trio with a glass of homemade apple cider for each of them, The trio thanked the large stallion, to which he nodded a silent "your welcome" before heading back outside with Granny Smith to do some work, leaving the three girls alone to discuss the matter in hoof.

Finally after a long awkward silence, the older mare finally spoke up. " Alright bloom, what did you mean by, they left ?"

"I meant what I said partner. " Bloom replied, then filly then took a sip of her cider before continuing............

"Ever since you left last year Dash, things haven't been so good around here, especially after Mare do Well was personally exposed and unmasked by you. When your friends Identities were revealed , the entire town was in complete shock that the mare whom they've been praising all week from all the good deeds she's done, ended up being Twilight and her friends whom were already local heroes whom saved them and Equestria not one but two times"

"Their shock soon turned into anger, when Twilight revealed the truth to all of them that she only came up with this Mare do Well sheraud teach you a lesson about boasting and letting your ego get the better of you. But her explanation didn't sit too well with everyone who openly criticized and chastised Twilight and the others for not only fooling them about the "new hero" in town, but for also causing you to leave town just to teach you a lesson about boasting"

"After that, everyone in town began to give each of your friends sour looks, including some of your former weather team members whom were just as pissed at them for causing their best and most loyal coworker to leave. Most of them even stopped going to both Twilight's library and Rarity's boutique choosing to get their books and clothing elsewhere, Pinkie even had to quit her job at Sugarcube corner after numerous customers kept requesting to have someone else serve them. Fluttershy doesn't bother going into town anymore out of fear of getting mocked and bullied by your former supporters, Celestia herself even showed true disappointment towards them, especially Twilight for their actions, and given that they were now short on one element user only made it worse"

"The dirty looks, mocking, and harassment finally took a tole on each of them, to which they simply chose to isolate themselves inside their respected homes to avoid the upset citizens. Throughout their time, each of em would write an apology letter to you, hoping that you'd at least read one of them and forgive em. But alas neither of them got a response back from you, after you didn't respond back to the birthday / apology card Pinkie sent you a few weeks ago, that's when the others reach their limit with each other"

"They started to get into numerous fights with one another, with each of them calling each other out for not representing their elements and roles, and they also openly blamed the whole mess on Twilight, given that Mare do Well was her idea in the first place. After the last argument, they all packed their bags and went their separate ways, thinking that they were no longer welcome here. They even went as far as to resign from their respected elements feeling that they failed to represent their roles. After that , no ones seen them since, and any reminder of Mare do well was either thrown away or set on fire, courtesy of Twilight"

"And before you ask about Scootaloo, well.........things haven't been so good between us either. After doing some digging, she soon discovered the reason as to why you yelled at her and left Ponyville in the first place. She was actually present at town square, the same day Twilight confessed to the town about the Mare do Well fiasco and the reason as to why she did it, and long story short, Scoots was not happy about it. Me and Sweetie Belle tried to comfort her, but she just pushed us away and said, and I quote......

"Shut up!!! I don't wanna hear it, if it wasn't for your stupid sisters , I wouldn't have betrayed and lost the one mare whom I loved and idolized as my own sister, just leave me alone!!!!!!"

"After that it's just been me and Sweetie Belle, whenever we tried to talk to Scootaloo, she just brushed us away. And to make matters worse, she started hanging out with Diamond Tiara of all ponies. Celestia, the thought of one of my friends turning into her and Silver spoon makes me sick to my stomach. But to make a long story short Dash, that's how things around here transpired after you left" As Bloom finished her story, Dash was left speechless after the whole explanation was summarized to her. The mare was at a loss for words, while she was angry at them, she didn't want them to leave, and the fact that they gave up their elements out of guilt only made the pegasus feel worse.

The thought of their departure being partially her fault shook the mare to the core, guilt ran down her spine at the fact that the others were out there, somewhere in Equestria and worst of all, their friendship shattered. The mare didn't know what to do, or if there was anything she could do in this manner. Given that she's completely blocked them out of her life for an entire year without even checking up on them, there's no telling if they'll even want to have her back or to restore their friendship. Her mind continued to ponder at what her next move would be as she took a sip of her cider.

"Dash?" Sweetie belle asked. " I know this isn't really our place to say but.......what are you gonna do now?" The unicorn filly along with her friend waited patiently for an answer from the older mare, wondering what her next move is gonna be after hearing Appleblooms explanation as to what became of the remaining members of the main six after the mares departure. They soon got their answer as the pegasus got up and took one last swig of her cider.

"I'll tell ya what I'm gonna do kid" Dash said with a boost of confidence. " I'm gonna track each and everyone of them down and drag their asses back here" The two friends were in shock after hearing the mares answer. " Yes it's true that I was mad at them, but I didn't want them to leave, or even to quit their respected elements. Mare do Well may have torn a rift in our friendship, but deep down, I know it's not too late for second chances, So I'm gonna track them down, hear them out, I'll say my own words as well, and see where it goes"

The two fillies shocked expressions suddenly turned to looks of admiration, not expecting to hear those words come out of the mares mouth, and the fact that she was willing to track down her former friends despite what happened last month says a lot about her newfound boost of confidence. After a moment, Bloom spoke up. " Well in that case partner, count us in too"
Sweetie belle nodded in approval as well.

"Sorry girls" Dash interjected. " But this is something I gotta do alone, besides it's too dangerous, this isn't like your usual antics, this goes WAY beyond Ponyville"

"But we want too!" Sweetie belle jumped in. " Look Dash we get it, we know you wanna go at it alone since this is mainly your problem. But you have no idea how much I've missed my sister dearly since she left, and it wasn't just me, Apple bloom felt the same way with Applejack and the others as well. Besides, it's like you said, this adventure goes WAY beyond Ponyville and trying to track down Twilight and the others one by one is like, as Bloom would say "trying to find a needle in a haystack" You'll need as much help as you can get on this mission. Plus these are our sisters we're talking about, who else would be able to reason with them as well than their own flesh and blood? So please Dash. let me and Bloom come along. we promise to be careful and to follow orders"

"Please dash? Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeese?" Apple bloom pleaded and proceeded to give puppy eyes towards the Pegasus alongside Sweetie belle who followed suit. The mare in question couldn't help but let out a small chuckle and be visibly impressed by the fillies confidence and willingness to go out of their ways to help out not just her, but their respected sisters and friends as well. After what felt like an eternity, the mare made her decision.

"Alright you knuckleheads............your in" Dash replied. " But only if you abide by these three rules. One don't go wondering off, two stick by my side, and finally three when we confront each of them, let me say my piece with em first before you jump in. Can you two do that for me" The mare was met with a small chorus of cheers and promises from the two fillies, whom were overjoyed that they get to come along to help out the element of loyalty and that they'll get to go on an actual adventure.

"So where to first Dash?" Apple bloom asked.

"Let head on over to Canterlot" Dash replied. " Princess Celestia and Luna might have some clues as to where each of them has gone"

Bloom and Sweetie belle nodded in approval, but something else caught their mind as well . "Wait....but what about Scootaloo?"

"Don't worry girls" Dash assured. " I'll have a talk with her the second we come back, plus I still owe her an apology from my outburst before I left. I'll be sure to restore you guys friendship as well, that's a promise of a lifetime" The two friends smiled warmly at the words that came out of the mares mouth. With nothing more to say, the three friends were ready to head out on their journey of reconciliations and friendship.

"It's a good thing we're on our last week of winter break" Sweetie belle said.

"No kidding" Bloom replied with a small giggle. " Miss Cheerilee would never let us hear the end of it if we personally took a week off school to go on a cross country adventure"

An hour later

Soon the three friends made their way towards the royal city of Canterlot, home of the royal sisters. After receiving permission from Big Mac and Granny Smith, they made their way towards the train station where as the locomotive to Canterlot City was about to depart. After an hour long train ride, the group finally arrived in Canterlot, with the two fillies visibly mesmerized and amazed at the luxurious city, especially with this being their first time traveling to a place like this. But they knew that this wasn't the time to go sight seeing as they knew there was more important matters to attend to. They eventually arrived at the castle, home of the royal sisters in order to receive answers to the whereabouts to Twilight and the others. But alas, the sun goddesses answer, wasn't what they were hoping for............

"Didn't you try to reason with them your majesty?" Dash asked.

"I spent an entire day last month trying to do so" Celestia answered, but then her expression changed to utter sadness as her ears dropped down as well. " But alas, it wasn't enough. Luna even attempted to reason with them through their respected dreams, but they still wouldn't budge. And I can't help but feel partially responsible as I did sound a bit harsh towards them and especially Twilight when I reprimanded them for their actions last year"

"Hey now, don't say that your majesty" Dash replied. " If anything , I'm pretty much the main reason they left in the first place and got into that big argument, I was the one who was too harsh with them"

"Nonsense" Celestia reassured. "You shall not blame yourself, your decision last year was justified. You rainbow dash have the right to be furious and to choose whether or not to forgive your friends. But I'm afraid that's where the bigger issue stands, you see Dash, the elements of harmony weren't just roles that I assigned to you and the others, But they're also the key to stopping any threat that plagues Equestria, but with the bond and friendship between you six broken, the elements have shown signs of decaying" Shocked looks formed on the trio's faces after hearing this dreadful news from the sun goddess.

"So you mean............." Sweetie belle jumped in. " Without the elements of harmony?"

" It's not just your home, but all of Equestria that'll be in stake" Celestia replied. " Like I said, without the elements and the power of friendship, we shall stand no chance against the next adversary, and I'm afraid Me and my sister won't be enough to stop them"

"Well I'm not gonna let that happen" Dash jumped in. " Princess Celestia, you don;t have to worry about anything, I'll round up the others. I won't let the Elements of Harmony decay because of my stupid mistake, While I'm still debating on whether or not to forgive my friends, I can't stand by while Equestria's balance is literally at stake. And in all honesty, I do miss having them around. Again I'm not sure how it's gonna go down when I encounter them again, but I wanna hear what they have to say after putting it off for quite a while, I'll say my piece as well, and see where it goes and hopefully our bonds will reform"

Celestia was at a loss for words once Dash was finished speaking, while the Mare was still deeply upset by the incident last year. It touched the Alicorns heart that the element of loyalty was willing to go out into far regions of Equestria, searching every single town, city, and kingdom in order to find the others, and to hopefully make amends. "Your absolutely sure about this Rainbow dash?"

The pegasus gave a nod as an answer to the sun goddess's question. "Very well then, I actually have something that should help you locate the others" Celestia proceeded to concentrate her magic, and within seconds, an acrylic orb appeared before the group. Dash Sweetie belle and Apple bloom stared in awe at the magical artifact which stood before them. " Behold, the friendship map"

"Wow! It's beautiful Celestia" Bloom said in amazement. " What does it do?"

"It's quite simple young Apple bloom" Celestia replied. " It's a magical tool created to locate the source of any friendship problem or threat scattered across all of Equestria. I was saving this to show to Twilight once she finally reached a certain magical "level" .But given the issue in hoof, I say now's a good time for a test run. Now I must clarify that this isn't the friendship maps true form, it's more of a prototype stage. But it work just fine with locating the others in it's current stage. It's actually quite simple to use , just say the name of the individual in question, and it will teleport you to their location within seconds"

Celestia then proceeded to levitate the friendship map over to Dash. As the Magical orbs now in her possession, the mare took a moment to admire the splendorness of the magical artifact that was in her grasps.

"Well, looks like we don't have to worry about blowing cash on train tickets throughout this roadtrip" Bloom said earning a giggle from her unicorn friend. " So where to first Dash?"

"Hmmmmmmm" Dash pondered. " Lets start with Pinkie and Fluttershy, they'll be the easiest to talk to and pursued. Then we'll work our way towards Rarity, AJ, and Twilight" The two fillies nodded in unison after hearing the mares answer, Dash then turned her attention back towards Celestia . " Thank you your majesty, I promise to find the others"

"I know you will kid" Celestia replied with a smile as warm as the sun. " Good luck you three, and please be careful out there" The three friends each gave the sun goddess a nod of reassurance, just as Dash prepared to say the name of the first pony in question.

"Take us to where Pinkie Diane Pie is at" Dash said to the orb, and within seconds, a bright light engulfed the surrounding area. Celestia watched as the group were teleported immediately out of the throne room straight to their destination . All while the sun goddess once again wished them luck on their journey while silently praying that things will work out.

A few seconds later

A bright flash of light engulfed the surrounding area once again as the group reached their destination, after regaining their composure's, they group looked up to find that they stood inside the luxurious city of Las pegasus. Home of some of the most expensive and luxurious vacation spots, hotels, and casino this part of Equestria, even spending at least one night or even an hour in this magnificent city would have cost any individual an arm and a leg, and the fact that the friends found themselves here amazed each of em. The beautiful sights of this luxurious city mesmerized each of them, but they knew there was no time for sight seeing as there was more important matters to attend to.

"Damn!!!" Bloom cried out. " Sorry for the language, but how did Pinkie manage to move into a place like this?!"

"I have absolutely no idea Bloom" Sweetie belle replied. " But I tell ya, you'd have to be as loaded as Mr Rich in order to live here . So where do we even start with finding that mare ?"

"According to the map" Dash said as she surveyed the orb. " It's saying that Pinkies right in front of................" Dash looked up to find the location that was said on the map, a look of shock formed on the mares face along with the three fillies as they surveyed the back entrance of a large building that stood in front of them with the words "Hells Kitchen" written on the very top as the florescent lights illuminated each of the letters. " No way, no freaking way"

"Pinkie is working in the Hells Kitchen?!" Apple bloom asked. " I mean I know her desserts are out of this world, but the fact that she was lucky enough to work in the restaurant of one of the most famous chefs in all of Equestria is insane"

"At least we know how she's getting the money to stay here" Sweetie belle replied. " So what's the game plan Dash?"

"Simple" Dash answered. " We go in, ask to have a word with her, and hopefully we'll be able to convince her to come back home, now lets go find this girl” With nothing more to say, the group made their way towards the employee entrance . But were soon stopped by a burly looking security guard.

“Woah there” The stallion said. “ Where do you think you’re going?”

“I’m just here to talk to a friend real quick, I don’t want any trouble” Dash replied.

“Sorry but only employee’s are allowed to enter through here” The stallion said. “ Sides, Ramsey doesn’t allow visitors during shifts, so you’ll just have wait till your friends done for the day toots. Now step aside , the afternoon crew are to arrive soon” The mare let out a small huff of disappointment, but she knew that starting a fight would have been a bad idea. So the trio reluctantly walked away out of sight from the security stallion.

“Celestia damn it” Dash said under her breath.

“Now what do we do?” Apple bloom asked.

“ *sigh* I don’t know kid” Dash answered. “ But theres no way in hell I’m waiting for pinkies shift to end, it’s already starting to get late, and who knows if she’s even in today? If only there was a way we could sneak inside some………….

“Damn it, I hate the late shift” Came a voice which earned the attention of the group as they saw a group of unicorns consisting of two stallions and one mare.

“You said it bro” the other stallion replied. “ Who the hell would even want food this late? Unless their one of those chumps who are trying to fight off a major hangover”

“Pfft, as if Chef would allow drunkards in his restaurant” The mare cut in. “ Speaking of Chef, that guys been up in my ass about my knife cutting skills. Sheesh, 4 years of cooking school and the chance to work in one of the most famous establishments in Las Pegasus, only to have my skills criticized. I swear if the pay wasn’t amazing, I would have quit in a heartbeat”

“Amen to that luv” One of the stallions replied. “ I swear if that guy calls me subpar whatever the hell that means, one more time, Ima club his ass” Unknown to the trio however, the sight of em gave the element of loyalty an idea.

“Excuse me fellahs?” She called out earning the groups attention, the mare then presented some bits , indicating that there’s something that she wants from them.

1 Minute later

We find the security guard reclining comfortably against the entrance door as he waited patiently for the afternoon crew to arrive, and soon he found not one but three of em ( or so he thought). Heading towards the entrance donning their respected uniforms, but what’s he doesn't know is that these three are actually the element of loyalty and her two filly companions wearing the afternoon crews chef uniforms which they gratefully handed over to the mare after she presented them with some bits as a fair trade. And thanks to a size enhancing spell courtesy of Sweetie belle, their respected disguises were a snug fit for the group.

“Sup Simone?” The stallion greeted. “ Strange, Usually Craig and Butch arrive the same time as you?”

“Oh …….uh…………..” The Pegasus stammered. “ They’re running a bit late this evening”

“Damn I’d hate to be them” The stallion replied with a chuckle. “ You know how pissed off Ramsey gets whenever someone arrives late? Wait a minute………what are these kids doing here?” The mare let out a nervous gulp alongside the two fillies whom tried to think of an excuse, Andre pondering for a few seconds, she thought of one.

“They’re my sisters kids” Dash answered. “ You see their schools hosting a career event today where students get to chaperone their respected families jobs to see how they function while at work, and since I’m their favorite aunt, they thought it would be cool to see me in cation inside the kitchen”

“Career day huh? “ The stallion questioned as he raised an eyebrow which only made the group more nervous, but his suspicious expression soon changed. “ Well that’s pretty awesome of you! Hehe no doubt you kids are be extremely popular in school when your classmates find out your aunt works in Hell’s Kitchen”

“Hehe we sure will sir, thank you” Bloom replied.

“Alrighty come on in Simone, don’t keep Ramsey waiting” The stallion said as he moved out of the way , to allow the group to make their way inside. “ BTW don’t call me sir, I’m 24”

Soon the trio were inside the back room as they made their way down the hall leading to the kitchen, as they continued to walk down the path, Dash began pondering as to what she’s gonna say to Pinkie the second the two of them reunite. Having not seen or responded to any of their mares letters for an entire year, she begins to wonder if she’ll even be happy to see her or not. With the fear that the earth pony thinks that she still hates her guts after the Pegasus made it perfectly clear last year. But the mare would have little time to prepare as the entrance drew near, and soon the trio found themselves inside the restaurant’s kitchen to which every gourmet dish is prepared.

Each one of em took the opportunity to stair in awe at the large kitchen which stood right in front of em. The sleek and luxurious foundation alongside the expensive looking equipment and interior mesmerized the group, even the tables themselves looked fancy, if Rarity was here she would absolutely faint at the sight of this beautiful looking kitchen, and even Applejack would have been impressed. And the uniforms looked as if they were tailored by world renowned fashionista. Dash however was quick to snap out of her small trance as she looked around for the pink poofy haired earthpony, but she would soon be interrupted by the sound of spitting.

“YOU EXPECT THE PATRONS TO PASS THIS OFF AS HOLLANDAISE SAUCE?!” Came a loud booming voice which not only garnered the groups attention but also sent chills down their spines a bit, and there standing right next to a quivering stallion, stood non other than the worlds most well renowned chef this side of Equestria, Mr Ramsey.

“Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii’m sorry chef” The stallion stammered. “ I followed the recipe like you said”

“Well clearly you missed the step where ya don’t give someone DIABETES!!!!!!!!” Ramsey boomed. “ That was way too much lemon juice in there, I don’t know whether the extreme sourness was gonna be the end of me, or if it was gonna be the high levels of citric acid!!!” He then proceeded to pour out the bowl of hollandaise sauce onto the ground, just missing the stallions hoof by a few meters. “ You have precisely 10 freaking minutes to redo the sauce, or you’ll find yourself working at a hayburger joint!!!! The customers want good creamy, succulent, hollandaise for their eggs Benedict, not piss! NOW GET TO WORK!!!!!!!!”

“Yes chef, right away chef” The stallion quivered as he quickly got to work redoing the sauce as Ramsey stormed away.

“Damn” Sweetie belle whispered. “ I knew he had a temper, but to see it in real life is scary”

“You said it kid” Dash whispered back. “ I don’t know why Pinkie would even……………..

“Oye you!!!!!!!!!” Ramsey called out to Dash, who was quick to usher the two fillies to hide behind a nearby serving rack just as Ramsey walked up towards the mare. “ It’s about time you showed up Simone, need I remind you that we have a dinner rush tonight and can’t have any slackers?!”

“Uhhhhhhh no chef, I’m sorry chef” Dash apologized. “ I was having some issues back home, but I’m here now, it won’t happen again”

“Good” the stallion replied. “ BTW where the hell are those two friends of yours? Their should have arrived the same time as you”

“Oh them? Uhhhhhhh oh yeah , they’ll be here soon” Dash said. “ There was a carriage pileup downtown near their street, so their gonna be a few minutes late”

“Well those two better pray that lil pileup gets sorted in 5 minutes, or they'll be on dish duty before clocking out later!" Ramsey replied. " Now enough chit chat Simone, you'll be partnered with Diane over there" The stallion then pointed towards a familiar pink earthpony whom Dash was quick to recognize. " Now hurry up to your station and get to work on that wedding cake, the clients expecting to pick it up by 8 am sharp"

"Uh yes chef, right away chef" Dash said just as Ramsey left the scene, the mare wasted no time and approached the pink pony whom was hard at work decorating the luxurious looking wedding cake. With Pinkies unique baking skills, there's no doubt in my mind as to how she landed a job in Hells kitchen especially with how much work she's put into this particular piece. As she approached the mares table, who's mind was focused on the large wedding cake, Dash pondered for a bit as she struggled to find the right words.

Finally after what felt like an eternity, the pegasus finally spoke up." ....................Pinkie?" This caught the former element of laughters attention as she was quick to recognize the voice, she turned her attention away from the cake to come face to face with her log lost friend.

"Rainbow dash?" She said earning a nod from the pegasus.

"Yup that's me Pinkie" Dash replied, expecting the poofy mare to either jump up for joy or to give her the biggest hug imaginable, but instead the mare looked blank in posture and expression, much to the shock of the pegasus, not expecting this behavior from one of the most happiest and hyperactive citizens in Ponyville. And her once poofy hair seemed to have deflated a bit, which normally happens whenever she’s either in a bad mood or depressed over something.

"Don't get me wrong, I wanna give you the biggest hug imaginable right now Dashie" Pinkie replied. " But sadly Mr Ramsey doesn't like us slacking off or chatting when we're not on break, and sadly my break isn't for another hour. Wait what are you doing here anyways, and how did you find me?"

"It's a long story" Dash said. " But to put it simply Pinkie, I came to bring you back home. Before you say anything, I was furious at you guys for pulling that Mare do well stunt instead of just talking to me about my boasting. But i didn't want any of you guys to leave and quit your respected elements, so I decided to track you guys down one by one so we can actually talk this out and hopefully make amends with each other. but that's not the only reason Pinkie, the elements aren't just roles, they're the key to restoring friendships and stopping any incoming threat that plagues Equestria. That's not the only reason I want you back Pinkie, I want you to come back so that once again, we can talk this out, I don't want this Mare do well incident to tear apart our friendship, so please Pinkie come back home"

Pinkie was at a loss for words after hearing her friends reason for being here, while a part of her desperately would like to move back home, a part of her was also stopping her . " I can't Dash, I just can't. Believe me I would love to come back home to my old life back in Ponyville, but given how harsh I was during my last argument with the girls. Who's to say that they would even want me around?”

“I know about the fight between you five Pinkie” Dash jumped in. “ That’s why I’m here, again I didn’t want you to leave. Look I know there’s a rift between us at the moment, but I wanna attempt to fix it, but I can’t do that if you and the others are in different cities. So please Pinkie, I’m asking you to come back to Ponyville. I need you, the element of laughter needs you, even the girls need you” This only earned the Pegasus a sorrow expression from the earth pony.

“I wish it was that easy to come home Dashie” Pinkie replied as she continued to ice the wedding cake that she was preparing. “ But I just don’t feel like I’m welcome back after what I did to you, and for nearly fooling everyone in Ponyville. Besides, this isn't one of those jobs where you could just quit so easily. It was almost an honor for me that I got accepted to work alongside Mr Ramsey himself despite his temper, but I'm also under contract so it's nearly impossible to leave unless he feels that I'm no longer welcome...................."

"OYE YOU!!!!!!!" Boomed a voice which echoed throughout the kitchen , earning the attention of not only Dash and Pinkie, but the other chefs as well. and there stood Ramsey himself, alongside his security guard whom held the CMC's in his grasps. " You bloody imposter, your not Simone!" He then turned his attention towards his security guard. " And you! Are you seriously more muscle than brain kid?! A career day event at school my arse, first off, Simone doesn't have any nieces, and second, what kind of school remains open at 5 freaking PM?!"

"Sorry sir, that was my bad" The guard apologized.

"Fine I'm not one of your chefs!" Dash replied before taking off her disguise. " My name is Rainbow Dash, and given how me and my friends saved Equestria not one but two times, you've probably heard of me. I'm here to pick up my friend Pinkie here so that we can return home and hopefully fix a broken bond"

However , the only response Dash got out of the famous chef was a sly giggle " You think i give a shit about who you are kid? I don't care if you and your friend there are part of the elements of harmony and work under Celestia herself, this is my restaurant, and like it or not, your friend signed up for this. her excellent desserts have brought in quite a crowd , and I'd be damned to just hand her back over to Princess sunbutt who just sits on her arse eating cake!" He then pulled out a piece of paper from his pocket. " And this contract she signed states that she's answers to me! Now you have two choices, either take your kids and get the hell out of my restaurant, or I'll have the cops here in about 10 seconds flat!!!" Ramsey then walked forward to continue giving the pegasus a piece of his mind, all while not noticing the spilled hollandaise sauce from earlier.

"Uh sir?" One of his chefs called out. " The hollaindaise....................

"Stay out if this.................." But before Ramsey could reply any further, he slipped on the sauce he had purposely spilled earlier and landed head first onto a nearby table knocking him out cold instantly , as Pinkies contract flew out of his grasps and landed onto a boiling pot of freshly made hollandaise sauce, which disintegrated the piece of paper instantly, much to the group and staffs surprise.

"Wowie zowie, talk about lucky" Pinkie said all surprised.

"So now will you come back ?" Dash asked.

"Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm" Pinkie pondered until a big smile formed on her face. " Ok!!!!!! He's probably gonna fire me anyways, lets get out of here before he wakes up" Dash gave a nod As they made their way towards the exit alongside the two fillies whom managed to escape from the guards grasps. As the chefs watched the four ponies exit the kitchen , a unicorn mare with a dark reddish mane walked towards the still unconscious Ramsey and leaned in a bit towards his ear.

"I don't suppose this is a bad time to ask for a raise Chef?" She asked willingly.

Soon the group found themselves taking cover in a nearby alleyway, all while Dash and even Pinkie double checked to see if they were being followed or not.

"Phew, I think we lost em" Pinkie said with a sigh of relief. " Thank you Dash, I don't think I would have lasted another day under his wing"

"It's no prob Pinks" Dash replied with a smile.

“Plus it was pretty cool TBH” Sweetie belle stated. “ I never expected to find myself walking inside the real life Hell’s Kitchen”

“Me neither” Bloom replied. “ Hehe Diamond Tiara’s gonna be so jelly that we got to see Hell’s Kitchen first before her rich ass” The others giggled at the fillies response, Pinkie then turned to Dash, with a question on her mind.

"So does this mean you forgive me for Mare do well Dashie? Pinkie asked waiting eagerly for an answer, but was only met with an unsure expression from the pegasus.

"Lets find the others first and then I'll give you my answer" Dash replied quietly. " Does that sound like a deal to you Pinkie?"

Pinkie then gave a determined nod. " Deal! Plus that'll give me plenty of time to practice my upcoming apology to not only you but the others as well, and I promise I'll work hard and to say my words super dooper carefully so that you'll all know I'm super dooper sorry"

A small giggle could be heard from the pegasus, happy to hear her friends bubbly tone again. "I missed you Pinkie"

And before you say anything, I'm not bashing on Gordon Ramsey here, this was just based of how cartoons and tv shows portray him, I have nothing against him in the slightest.

Also I decided to add in an easter egg into my stories starting with this one where the creator Laura Faust makes Stan Lee style cameos, now I'm not gonna give into full detail on where she'll pop up in certain parts of my stories, but I'll try to make it sorta obvious, but you guys will have to locate her , almost like an "Eye Spy" or "Where's Waldo?" scenerio

But anyways, hope you guys are enjoying the story, next chapters coming very soon, until then have a good night ladies and gentleman

Also RIP to James Earl Jones, thank you for being a major part of our childhoods
