Rainbow Dash started her day as normal, sleeping in, waking up, getting ready for the day in less than five minutes, going to Sugercube Corner, and then going to work. At least it was a normal day until she got to work. When she got there she found a bunch of pegasi flying away from the weather managing building. Wanting to investigate she zoomed in, but found nothing out of the ordinary.

She was about to leave to track down the weatherponies, but she was suddenly thrown into pitch black darkness. Her eyes darted around the void, searching for anything that might attack. Her gaze finally landed on something, or more accurately, somepony. That pony was Scootaloo, laying on the black ground, seemingly unconscious.

Rainbow flew to Scootaloo and looked her over, but saw no damage on her. Rainbow looked around again, then back at Scootaloo, but now all she saw was the filly's skeleton. Rainbow screamed and stumbled back, she didn't know what was happening. She looked around again, turning her full body each time her neck turned too far.

After a few more spins, she noticed that the skeleton was gone. She took a moment to eye the spot where it was lying, then turned around. She then saw her five friends, dead and mutilated. She was forced to witness their bodies wither away and turn to dust. Rainbow dropped to the floor, at some point had she started crying. She just kept her gaze on the floor not wanting to see any more.

She then realized something, none of this should be real. The fact she was suddenly in a black void, her friends somehow dying and appearing here and withering away so fast. Scootaloo suddenly turning into a skeleton, it all made no sense. She looked up again and now found herself back in the weather managing building.

She stood up and looked around again, this time finding nothing. Rainbow now knew why all the pegasi left, she looked around one last time, wiped the tears from her eyes, then left, not wanting to be there any longer. She was going to find out how that happened, but she would need some help.
