In his room there was no other pony. Books are nothing for him. He wasn’t allowed to stand up and go outside. “Mr. Rumarrow? You have visitors.” “Oh thanks! Who is it?” “Well, you don’t know it, my Arrow?” “Dashy?” “Yes, but she isn’t alone, brother.” “Hey Rumir! What are you two doing here?” “Visiting you, dummy.” “Don’t be so hard with him.” “Okay, RD. But we have another problem. We are searching... something!” “Something? You can’t say that the Rainbow Factory is only ‘Something’!” “OK! We are searching the Rainbow Factory.” “How do you mean it? How can such a big building randomly disappear?” “We don’t know. We have only found this mysterious blue feather.” A blue feather? Rumarrow couldn’t believe it. Which pegasus could disappear a building? “What now?” “You have to come with us! You can’t walk well but you can fly! And we will fly a long route.” “What? How long?” “First we have to fly to Canterlot. Then to the Everfree Forest because we need a potion from Zecora. After the visit we fly to the ruins. There is Princess Luna and she will help us.” “Sure that he could fly this route? Do you remember what Pinkie Pie did to him?” “I know! But it seems that your wing is alright, or?” “Ask the doctor!” “We asked him. And he said that you can be released from the hospital tomorrow!” “That is fantastic!” “Visit time is over!” “What? That was only 5 minutes! We can’t go now!” “Visit. Time. Is. OVER!” “OK, we go now! Bye brother.” “Bye, my Arrow!” “Bye brother, bye Dashi. See us tomorrow!” In the night of the same day he had an abnormal nightmare. He saw Pinkie Pie, and he was on the rack. And when Pinkamena wanted to cut of his wings he woke up! “Wha.. What was that for a nightmare? Nurse?” “Yeah, I’m right here, Rumarrow!” There was not a nurse, there was Pinkamena with a chainsaw. And like the other nightmare he woke up. “Plea... Please not again. Nurse? NURSE!?” “The nurse can’t hear you brother!” In the corner there was Rumir with a chainsaw. And like the other nightmares he woke up... again... “If this is a nightmare too, I will kill me in every nightmare, even if not. OK. No nightmare. I have to tell it the nurse... And why I am talking to myself?” He stand up, tried to walk and fell. His wings are OK so he flew through the door. But the nurse said: “Go to bed! It’s 5:30AM! You need your sleep!” “OK, fine!” So he flew to his bed. But he didn’t sleep because of the nightmares. “You will get more nightmares if you find me!” Rumarrow asked who there was. But no response! On the next day the doctor came into Rumarrow’s room. “Good news! You will be released from hospital.” “Yes, I know. My friends told me that they have asked you!” “You are right. Now: pack your things and you will be free!” “Which things?” “Ehh... Nothing...” The doctor made a bad pokerface. After Rumarrow has left the hospital the doctor said: “Don’t walk to much!” But Rumarrow didn’t hear that what the doctor said. He flew to Rainbow Dash’s house and went to Rainbow Dash. “Good morning, Dashi!” “Good morning, my Arrow.” Rumarrow give Rainbow Dash a good morning kiss. Then they went to Rumir’s house. But the house of Rumir is disappeared. “Rumir, what’s happened with your house?” “A dark force was around my house and let the house disappearing. I could flee, but my house is now... nowhere.” “And nopony can bring it back! You are all now in the chaos! If you find me, you will get a cake... or better: a... cupcake!” The three didn’t know who was this voice. “Oh no... In the hospital I heard the same voice!” “Look! One of the three little pegasi as solved one puzzle. But now you have to know who I am. But I think you can solve this too, or?” “Come and show yourself! I will fight against you!” “Oh, Rainbow Dash. Did you forget me? What a blame!” “Rainbow, this isn’t the time to fight. Wait for it! It will come.” “And Rumir, you can’t break the wrath of the little Dashi! Only I can it. But if I would break it, it would be so boring.” “...That isn’t possible!” “It is, Rumarrow. You left your mother in Los Pegasus only to find your brother. You find him. Now go home! You have... Now I checked it. You have some future plans in Ponyville! You want to marry Rainbow Dash! ‘Oh, Rainbow Dash, will you marry me?’ ‘Uhh yes.’ No way! You are now like I said in the chaos.” “Rumarrow, what is with your colour?” “Rumir, don’t!” “I go to our mum alone and Rainbow Dash, it’s all true!” Rainbow Dash begins to cry. “My Arrow! Please don’t go.” “Sorry, but it’s time to go.” “Noo!” “Let him go. He comes back!” “Uh, I'm afraid not! Now to you two! I bring you to the castle. Look, isn’t it nice?” “Oh no... Rumir, run away!” “Why are you going?” A dark creature has appeared. “Discord, what are you doing here? Are you not a statue?” “Well, my little friends! I’m one too. But the dark chaos power is bigger then the power of the Elements of Harmony. I can make some chaos even if I am a statue! And now you can run!” They run away from Discord to be safe for his chaos. “Rainbow, what was this?” “This monster is Discord, the god of chaos! He turns everything good into bad!” “Rainbow Dash, how did he that?” “I don’t know Rumir, I don’t know. But I miss my Arrow!” Rainbow Dash and Rumir flew to Ponyville and run into a pony. “Oh my god, are you alright?” The pony said nothing. “What is your name?” He looked confused at Rumir and Rainbow Dash. “OK. What is your name?!” “Night Light.” “Hello Night Light. Have you seen Rumarrow?” Night Light walked away without saying anything. “Rumir, you come from Los Pegasus. Where is my Arrow!” “Forget him RD you can search him later.” “But.. but...” Rumir and Rainbow Dash followed Night Light to his house. Than they stopped. “NIGHT LIGHT please help us!” Night Light walked into his house without saying anything. “NIGHT LIGHT PLEASE HELP ME!” She began to cry. “What do you want?” “Please bring my brother Rumarrow back to Ponyville!” “Negative.” “I will pay for it!” “OK, why not.” “Oh, thanks! Thanks, thanks, thanks, thanks!” “OK, but give me my colt!” “Can I come with you?” “No RD! We have to beat Discord. But we are only two. Any good plan?” “I have one!” Everyone has left Night Light’s house. Night Light was searching for Rumarrow, and Rainbow Dash explained Rumir the plan. “The plan is that we go with Princess Celestia and the other Elements of Harmony to the statue of Discord. We can banish Discord with the whole power of all magic in Equestria to another universe!” “That plan is great. Let’s do this! But what first?” “First, we have to find the princess! Wait here, I’m right back!” Rainbow Dash flew away to find the princess. Rumir waited in Ponyville when suddenly Night Light appears. “Hey, did you find him?” Night Light nodded. “What do you want?” He said nothing. He only pointed at the clock. First on the six, then on the twelve. “Did you mean 6 o’clock?” Night Light nodded again. Then he pointed at his house and went back to his home without a word. Rumir waited again. He waited, waited and waited. Suddenly he was knocked out. “Sorry Rumir, but I love Rumarrow.” Rainbow Dash searched Rumarrow in Ponyville. “Rumarrow, where are you?” But no response... And then she saw him and flew to Rumarrow. “My Arrow, please listen to me!” “What do you want, Rainbow Crash?” “My Arrow, please I love you and you love me too, you know?” “I know what I know!” “Rumarrow! You must trust me and we must defeat Discord!” “D..Dashi?” “Yes, my Arrow?” “Where is Rumir?” “Rumir is sleeping over there. Why?” The colour from Rumarrow come back, but slowly. “Where is the Princess, my Dashi?” Rainbow Dash began to Smile. “The Princess is in her castle, my Arrow.” Meanwhile. Rumir woke up and saw Rainbow Dash and Rumarrow together and in colour. “Hey, what’s happened?” “Ehh, you was knocked out by an... a piano. Yes, a piano! Derpy transported a piano and it fell on your head.” “OK. That is very abnormal, but it’s possible... and if Derpy is transporting something, you have to hide you” Rumir laughed. Rumarrow asked: “Then we can go to the princess, right?” “You can’t go to the tiny Princess Celestia. I killed her!” “Have I heard my name?” All three said: “Princess Celestia! And... Twilight?” “Yes, it’s me too! But we have a problem. The...” “...other Elements of Harmony are not here: Pinkie Pie is banished from Equestria, Applejack is with the whole Apple-Family in Appleloosa. You are only 4 tiny ponies which represent the Elements of Harmony... and the princess... too weak!” “Twilight, my student, please bring the other ponies. We have to defeat discord!” “Rainbow Dash! Find with your friends Fluttershy, Rarity and Applejack! Fluttershy’s cottage is in the near of the Everfree Forest, Rarity’s boutique is in Ponyville, Applejack is... well, in Appleloosa. Better to split the team. I will get Pinkie Pie back with the help of Princess Celestia.” “Brother, you go to Fluttershy. But please, she is very shy!” “I won’t disappoint you!” Rumarrow flew to the cottage. Rumir turned to Rainbow Dash. “Rainbow Dash, you go to Applejack!” “OK Rumir. And you go to Rarity. But please, she loves to dress somepony and... Well, just watch out for the fashion queen!” The ponies went their ways and tried to find the others. “Oh, well, that wasn’t expected. But they can’t beat a chaos king! I will wait at you, little ponies!” At Fluttershy’s cottage. Rumarrow ran to the door. “Hello? Anypony there?” But nopony answered. “OK, then I go back.” “No, wait!” A high pitched voice came out of the cottage. “Who is there?” “I’m... Fluttershy...” “Oh, you are one of the Elements of Harmony. You have to come with me to beat Discord!” She didn’t answered. “Please, come with me. Only with your help can we beat Discord.” But no response. Rumarrow began to despair. He saw little animals and pets. “Wait, if you come with me, I will show you my pets, OK?” “What kind of... pets?” “Ehh.. A tortoise.” “Uhh! A tortoise like Rainbow Dash’s one?” “She has a tortoise? I mean.. Yes, like Rainbow Dash!” She came with joy out of her cottage. “Shall we go?” “Yes, Mr... ehh..” “Please call me Rumarrow.” “OK, Mr. Rumarrow.” Rumarrow thought that this was the easiest thing he did in his whole life. He imagined how difficulty the other ponies are to be persuaded. Rainbow Dash flew to Appleloosa. But she couldn’t find Applejack anywhere. “Hey, Braeburn! Have you seen Applejack?” “Well, I did. But why are you asking?” “Because Discord is returned and we need the whole power of the Elements of Harmony.” “Oh no. If Discord won’t be beaten, we are doomed! Quick! Applejack is in the town hall!” When they entered the town hall they heard Applejack holding a speech: “...and of course! We should take care about the next storm! But we can’t sit here in this town hall.” “What is she doing there?” “She is holding a speech about the 150 years storm. And this is the strongest ever!” “Hmm.. That is bad. But we need Applejack to protect Equestria! Hey, Applejack!” “And... Hey, there! What are you doing here?” “You have to come with me! Discord is returned!” “Oh, horse apples! But it’s a long trip with the train.” “Who said that we take the train? We will fly!” Rainbow Dash took Applejack at the shoulders and tried to lift her up. “Oh my... How heavy are you? Better idea! Come, we take the Buffalo Express!” Rainbow Dash and Applejack left the town hall and went to the buffalo herd. They asked whether they could be transported to Ponyville. And they have luck. “Now to the others!” “Hell yeah, RD!” “No, no, too small, too big, too... perfect!” “OK. Rarity, can we talk now?” “Yes, my darling! What do you want to ask?” “You know Discord, right?” Rarity nodded. “He came back to make more chaos than ever! And only the Elements of Harmony can stop him!” “But what’s with Pinkie Pie? Isn’t she dead?” “No, but this is a other story!” “OK, but let me finish your suit. You want to look great at the gala, or?” Rumir said quite: “Please, I want to go home!” Twilight Sparkle and Princess Celestia searched Pinkie Pie in the Hayseed Swamp. “And what did Pinkie Pie to the pegasi?” “Well, friendly expressed she made cupcakes of them.” “What did she? But we haven’t another option.” “You are right, princess! Lets find her!” After hours of searching the both found a mysterious house. “I have waited here since... when was it? I don’t know.” “Pinkie Pie, you are here and alright. Come, we have to beat Discord again.” “I will come with you...” “Well, Pinkie, that is the right way. I will revoke your banishment if you’re stopping to kill other ponies for your cupcakes.” Pinkie Pie nodded. “I’m not sure whether it’s right to do this.” “Trust me, Twilight. I have a plan! Now come with us, Pinkie Pie!” “Okie Dokie Lokie!” Everypony came back in the right time! They are all together! The Main 6! “Uhh, look at these tiny crowns... Now I have to fear you!” “My little ponies, together we can beat him! With the force of the Elements of Harmony and my royal force! You are finished, Discord!” A bright beam was fired by the Elements of Harmony. It was so bright that Rumir and Rumarrow can’t look into it. But after the light flashed away everypony looked at the position where Discord stand. “What? I’m alive. I mean, it was so planned! You have no chance against the new ruler of Discordia!” Rumir asked: “But why it doesn’t work?” Rumarrow had an idea. He went to Rainbow Dash and explained: “We have forgotten the most powerful element except magic. Love. Since I was here in Ponyville I learned something important. Everypony can fight alone, in a team you can’t failure! And with Rainbow Dash on my side I build one of the most powerful Element of Harmony.” “And this means what?” “That you are NOW finished!” The 7th Element of Harmony appeared and together with the other elements and the princess they have beaten Discord. “NO! I will come baaaaaaaaaaaack!” “Maybe when the world will end!”, said Rumarrow. “Oh my gosh! Brother, what was that? First you said something and then... a big flash and he was beaten.” “I know but this is...” While Rumarrow is telling his brother how he did this Princess Celestia went to Pinkie Pie. “Well, what did we learn?” “It’s bad to make cupcakes of somepony?” “Right.” “...and so on... Excuse me please, I have to ask Rainbow Dash something.” Rumarrow went to Rainbow Dash and started to speak: “Rainbow Dash, I know we know us not very long, but we have made many things together that nopony usually did with a mare. But we are usually, we are unique! So here is my question: Rainbow Dash, would you marry me?” Rainbow Dash looked with joy tears in Rumarrow’s eyes. “Yes, of course I will!” They kissed and everypony around applauded.
