Running through the forest

As Rainbow and Zecora entered the zebra's personal room Ditzy stuffed herself with muffins. As the muffin supply quickly dwindled to nothing Ditzy went to investigate what Rainbow and Zecora were doing. She approached the door she had seen Rainbow go in and put an ear up to the door.

"But what can I do? Every time I see her I get a wing *ahem* and I either have to leave or do something with my wings so they won't stiffen." Ditzy overheard Rainbow say.

"The best thing to do is often within you. If you don't reveal your true feelings, Surely you will be reeling." The mysterious zebra said.

"But how am I supposed to tell her? I don't even know if she's like that." Rainbow said dejectedly.

"You may not know her preference. But you can find a reference."

Rainbow Sighed.

"I guess you're right."

Ditzy ran back to the table when she heard the two start heading to the door.

"Ready to go Ditz?" Rainbow asked.

"Yeah! We need to find more muffins!" Ditzy said excitedly.

"Thanks for having us Zecora."

"Please follow the path. Lest you feel the forest's wrath."

"Thanks for the warning see you later Zecora." Rainbow said.

"Bye miss Zecora!" Said Ditzy loudly.

With good byes said the two quickly got back to Ponyville for their afternoon muffins.

That night

Ditzy awoke with a small scream.

"what's going on mama?" Her small filly Dinky asked.

"Nothing go back to sleep my silly filly." Ditzy said quietly.

As she watched her daughter slowly return to sleep she thought of the dream she was just having. It had been recurring recently.

She was alone. In the dark. Nopony else was there so she just stood there unsure what to do. Suddenly the door opened and two large stallions dressed in sharp black suits dragged her to a chair and tied her to it. Then a small green pony with a malicious grin appeared with a table full of surgical equipment and hardware. He picked up the nails and hammer and approached the tied up mare. And then as the hammer was swinging down to hammer the first nail into her hoof she had awoken.

Every time she had this dream she had awoken screaming and sweaty. She wasn't sure what to make of it but it reminded her of the scars all over her body. She had gotten those when she was younger but wasn't exactly sure how she had gotten them. She knew that these dreams had something to do with the scars.

The next day

As Ditzy flew through the air quietly delivering the mail the ponies she was delivering to were asking her what was wrong. She said nothing and continued her route. When she flew back to her home and noticed that Dinky wasn't home she wasn't worried. She took out an old record and played it. Suddenly in flew Rainbow Dash. Well flew in is kind of the wrong term. She more of crashed through Ditzy's ceiling.

"Dashie?" She asked getting the mare back on her feet.

"Sorry Ditz. I kinda messed up while trying to practice the sonic rainboom. I'll pay for the repairs but I've got to go." She said starting to go towards the door.
