Rainbow trotted to her now-sobbing friend and tapped her hoof. 

"Pinkie, I have something to tell you" she told Pinkie, with a heart-melting smile. Pinkie looked up from her teary pool in confusion. 

"W-what's that Dashie?" she asked, still wondering what Rainbow has to say.Rainbow spoke up, beginning her speech. 

"I know I believe in Santa Hooves, ever since I was a little filly, I always believed him to be a real thing and not some story told by a narrator for excitement purposes."she explained, still continuing "But now, I'm starting to believe that is true. I mean, I know I'm a Daring Do fanatic that smells of Skittles™ and sweat from Wonderbolt practice, but, since I am the element of loyalty, I think I should look past those stories that should be considered as myths, because I don't need those to keep me happy, because, all I want for Hearth's Warming...are amazing and great friends like you and Fluttershy because I love you all and I always will." Rainbow explained with the same smile she had before her speech. 

Pinkie beamed, tears still streaming down her face as she got up and hugged her friend with tears of joy. She gave a sniffle or two as she hugged Rainbow tighter. 

"R-Rainbow, that was so sweet, I'm so glad you're my friend, and I'll always remember you as one of my greatest allies forever!" Pinkie said as she hugged her rainbow-maned mare friend (Not the kind you think). They finally let go of their hug as they stared into each other's eyes in a friendly manner. Rainbow was about to speak up, when her thoughts were interrupted by the sloppy sounds of something liquidy. She and Pinkie wondered where the sound had come from. They knew it wasn't Fluttershy or Lost since one was in the living room and the other left to be with her fiancé. Rainbow then understood where the sloshy sounds came from...The bedroom! 

Pinkie and Rainbow quickly trotted upstairs, Fluttershy following behind. Rainbow slammed the door open and stood there, shocked of what she just saw. There, sitting in her bed, shaking a big bowl of jello, was Uganda Knuckles. He stared at Rainbow with his cold, lifeless eyes. 

"Do you kno da wae?" he asked. 

"The way to where?" Rainbow answered in confusion. Knuckles pulled out a piece of paper revealing a map. It was labeled "Da Wae" which was illustrated with a crude, stick figure drawing of not just him, but what looked like a whole army of his kind followed by a dotted line and ending at a picture of a woman with green hair and had a watermelon slice in her hair. 
"My kind have traveled here to find our queen, Queen Vannamelon. We last saw her in the produce isle of Wegmans, later that night, she was gone. We need to find her  otherwise our kind will die!" Knuckles responded. 
Fluttershy walked up to Knuckles and pointed her hoof in a direction. Knuckles nodded his head and pulled out a portal gun. He shot it at the wall as the portal rippled with no force as he left. 

"YEET!" Knuckles shouted as he lept inside and the portal disappeared. Rainbow stared, jaw open and wanted to know what the hell just happened. But she couldn't speak, she was that confused as if it was a mindfuck, which it was.
