Love Comes In All Colors

Rainbow Dash struggled and thrashed in her bindings. She desperately pulled her hooves apart trying to undo the ropes. But strength was unfortunately something she lacked in. The blue mare looked around her and saw Cassidy, passed out and bound just like her. "What the buck is going on here?!" Rainbow Dash shouted.

"Silence!" A stallion with a strong voice shouted.

"Who the buck are you?!"

"I said silence!"

"What do you want with me?!"

"Will you hush thy infernal voice?! Thy existence already angers me as it is."

"Ugh…my head." Cassidy groaned as she slowly tried to get up but noticed her bindings. Then she noticed Rainbow Dash. "Rainbow Dash, is this the act of bondage that Pinkamena Diane spoke so fondly of?"

"Mother!" A mare in her young twenties shouted. "Sister is awake." She peered into the back of the wagon. She had a faded blue coat and her mane was in a bonnet. "Sister, why did thy leave home? Hasn't mother always told you that Pinkamena Diane was evil? Now look at what she has done to thou. She has turned thy into a reflection of her evil ways. But thy have no reason to fear dearest sister. Mother says that she can save thou."

Rainbow Dash looked at Cassidy. "Um, could you explain just what the buck is going on here Cas?"

Cassidy looked up at the faded blue mare. "Tis my younger sister Sarah. My guess is that my family has kidnapped us."

Sarah gasped. "Oh no! Now her speech is becoming that of Pinkamena Diane's." She looked at Rainbow Dash. "Tis your fault! I do not know why thy has to live in such a life. Our life is a pure and righteous one. Thy life is a filthy and unclean life! Thy have made my sister unclean!"

"Sarah," Came a much older mare's voice whom Rainbow Dash guessed to be their mother. "Cease talking with the filly fooler. Tis too late to save her."

Rainbow Dash felt her anger boil up inside of her at the term "filly fooler". She hated it so much. She desperately trashed and tried to break free of her bonds so she could slap that mare.

"Mother," Cassidy shouted. "What is the meaning of this? Why have you kidnapped us? And what is this talk about saving us?"

"Thy have fallen to the unclean ways of outside. We have warned thy against this. We forbade thy from leaving. Yet, thy went against our word, thy visited Pinkamena Diane, and now thy have fallen to a life of shame. Our only hope is that thy may be cleansed of thy impurities."

"But what of Rainbow Dash? Why have th-you taken her?"

"The world does not need filly foolers and colt cuddlers in it. We intend to remove her from this world."

"WHAT?!" Rainbow Dashes eyes widened. Now she was frantically trying to get lose her bindings. "YOU'RE ALL CRAZY!" She started to flap her wings rapidly in an attempt to lift herself out of the cart; but without her legs Rainbow Dash couldn't even get off of the ground.

"MOTHER! Tis not right! To take of the life another pony is frowned upon even in her society."

"And to be a filly fooler is frowned upon even more in ours."

Throughout the rest of the trip Rainbow Dash desperately tried to break her bindings to no avail. She eventually lost her energy and started to plead with her captors. Her pleads rapidly changed to violent swearing. Cassidy's father (whose name was apparently John) eventually got tired of listening to the Pegasus and gagged her.

"Finally," He sighed. "Silence." He resumed pulling the carriage.

Tears formed in Rainbow Dashes eyes. Was she really going to die like this? Would she never see Pinkie again? Rainbow Dash gasped. She was supposed to be getting married to Pinkie right now, and nopony had any idea where she was. She cried even more knowing Pinkie was probably crying right now as well.

Cassidy looked at Rainbow Dash and instantly understood her sorrows. She couldn't help but shed a few tears as well.

The carriage eventually returned to the town of Equine Hills. Small buildings made out of wood and strong, hardworking stallions filled the village. John pulled the carriage up to the town prison so he could put Rainbow Dash there.

"Wait!" Sarah cried. "I want to unbind sister first. I wish to cleanse her as so as I may." She hopped out of the carriage and undid Cassidy's legs. And the next thing Sarah knew Cassidy had struck her with her hoof, causing the blue mare to stagger back. Cassidy sprang to her hooves and quickly untied and ungagged Rainbow Dash. But before anything else could happen, two stallions grabbed them and prevented them from escaping.

Sarah looked at Cassidy with sorrow and confusion. "Sister, why did thou strike me? Why did thou free the filly fooler?" She looked like she was about to cry.

"Sister," Cassidy said. "I meant not to hurt you, but I cannot allow Rainbow Dash to be murdered! She's my friend and I will not stand for it!"

"But, she's a filly fooler sister!"

"Her choice of life does not change my affections for her."

John sighed and put a hoof to his face. "Tis too late to save you as well. Thy are no longer a daughter of mine Cassidy. Lock her away with the filly fooler."

Back in Ponyville, Twilight, Applejack, Rarity, and Fluttershy all sat around a table in Twilight's library.

"Ok," Twilight said. "We can safely say that Rainbow Dash is not in Ponyville. Princess Celestia has told me that she is now doing a sweep of Canterlot and Cloudsdale. She'll let us know if she finds anything."

"Sorry for interrupting," Applejack said. "But ah just can't shake this. Is anypony keeping an eye on Pinkie?"

"Yes, Mrs. Cake is looking after her."

"No, Ah mean keeping a really close eye on her."

Rarity gasped. "You're not implying that Pinkie might…"

"That's the problem, Ah don't know what she'll do. Nopony knows what Pinkie Pie will do. And Ah would just feel a lot better if somepony kept a close eye on her and kept her from doing anything crazy…crazy by Pinkie Pie standards anyway."

Twilight nodded. "Yes, that's a very good idea. We'll all take turns staying with Pinkie and keeping an eye on her. Fluttershy, would you like to take the first shift?"

Fluttershy nodded. "Yes, I would be happy to."

"Ok. But remember girls, the only thing that will truly help her is finding Rainbow Dash. So if anypony gets any sort of lead on where she might be tell the others immediately. Now let's get a move on!"
