"C'maan, Twilight, just do it!" Rainbow Dash nagged. "It'll be sooo cool! I'll be all like ZOOM and then I'll be gone and everyone'll be like, 'where did she go?' But then I'll reappear, and everyone will cheer, and it'll be SOOO wicked!" She excitedly ranted to her purple friend.
"Oh, I don't know, Rainbow," she said, "it could be dangerous... I'd hate for you to get hurt..."
"Don't worry, Twilight Sparkle, I'll be fine!" Rainbow continued to nag. Rainbow Dash was looking to perform a new stunt. A stunt that would definitely go into the record books. She knew exactly what she wanted to do, but it required the help of Twilight Sparkle's magic. The stunt involved two portals, both would be conjured in the sky. Basically, what would happen, is that Rainbow Dash would gather up as much speed as she could, fly into one portal, and emerge from the other one, perfectly intact. It was risky... just the way she liked it.
"Well... okay, I'll give it a try. But it's not my fault if you end up in some alternate dimension, okay?" Twilight Sparkle shut her eyes and focused hard on her 'open portal' spell. Slowly, her horn began to glow, brighter with every second. The horn got brighter and brighter, until eventually there was a bright flash that sent Twilight Sparkle flying and temporarily blinded Rainbow Dash. Eventually, both ponies recovered.
"Ugh... my head...  you okay, Dash?" Twilight moaned.
"yeah, I'm fine, just a little dizzy. What the heck happened?" Dash said, disoriented.
"I don't know... but I'm exhausted, let's head back to Ponyville." Twilight replied.
"Yeah, good idea. I think my trick can wait. Hey! maybe 'The Great and Powerful Trixie' can open the portals for me!" Rainbow Dash teased.
"Don't even get me started..." Twilight growled as they walked back to town.

Little did the two girls know, the portal DID open... just not where it was supposed to open... And, unbeknownst to them, they just caused the soon-to-come massacre in Ponyville that will never be forgotten...
