The next morning they both got up and began their routines once again. Rainbow Dash went outside and began her walk. Steve waited to begin his day until Rainbow Dash got back. She zoomed through the door, a lot earlier than she normally did. She was covered from head to toe with perspiration. "Did your walk turn into a sprint?" he asked. "No, I saw another human! He looked at me, aimed at me with some weird little box, and activated a small light on it. It was really weird, and I didn't know what to do, so I just ran."

Steve's face went blank. The man had taken a picture of Rainbow Dash. There was no telling what he might do with this dangerous piece of data. A few seconds after the thought sunk into his mind, there was a knock on the front door. "Hide," he told her. She ran upstairs and hid in a closet.

Steve opened the door, and was greeted by a man who was holding a camera. "I just saw Rainbow Dash run through this place! Have you seen her?!" Steve paused a second. "Why, yes, I did. She went out the front door. Hurry and maybe you can catch her." The man ran like a maniac towards the direction the front door was facing. Steve went upstairs and retrieved Rainbow Dash. "So now what?" she asked him. "We wait. We need to see if or when he uses the picture in a way that could ruin our lives." A few minutes later, Steve checked his e-mail. There was a headline on the homepage that made Steve breathless; 'Strange occurrence- new species or kids show character?'

He felt like he was going to panic. Instead, he clicked on the picture of Rainbow Dash. The link took him to the man's blog. The man obviously had long term memory. The address and location of Steve's house was all there- every little detail. Steve looked further through an article on another page about the guy. Unfortunately, everything pointed toward 'real photo'. The guy was a bad artist, Rainbow Dashes speechless face was a pose never used in the show. The guy was rarely known to lie to anyone at all, even a complete stranger. Steve took another good long look at the beginning of him and Rainbow's misery before shutting down his computer. Things looked bad for their future.
