A dark path

Ahhhhh...... how good is this? thought Rainbow Dash as she glided through the crisp, blue sky, dreaming of the golden sunshine that warmed her back in summer. She was excited to push away the winter and welcome the spring. It was one step closer to the golden sunshine of summer. Her heart throbbing with adrenaline, she picked up pace and zipped past the Golden Oak Library.

"Hey, Rainbow!" cried Twilight Sparkle. "Waaaaaiiiiiittt...." Her voice faded away as Rainbow Dash sped off into the distance. She shot past Fluttershy's cottage, frightening the animals into hiding. She flew as fast as a bullet past Rarity's Carousel Boutique, rippling the hems of the dresses inside. She arched over Sweet Apple Acres, knocking apples straight into the buckets.

"Thanks, Rainbow!" cried the Apples. Rainbow Dash did not acknowledge them. She doubled back to Fluttershy's, feeling foolish.

"Hey, Flutters!" she said as she knocked on the door. Peering out cautiously, Fluttershy breathed a sigh of relief to see it was only Rainbow Dash. "There's something I have to tell-"

She was cut off by a mighty roar. "Gotta go. Bye!" Rainbow zipped off like a lightning bolt.

Go where? thought poor Fluttershy.
