Rainbow Dash POV

It was a beautiful Sunday, and the weather looked like nothing could ever go wrong.

I yawned and stretched, then got out of bed.

Even though I just saw Soarin yesterday, but I couldn't wait to see him again today.

We planned to meet at Canterlot Mall at 12 pm, after I am done with the gathering with my friends.

I changed into my normal sporty style of clothes, packed my backpack and set off to the coffee shop in Canterlot Mall, our usual meeting place.

Just then, my phone rang.

It was a message from Twilight.

It said:At the coffee shop. Come ASAP!

I hurried on to Canterlot Mall.

When I stepped indoors, a blast of chilly air hit me squarely in the face.

It triggered my memory.

A month ago, when I first met Soarin here...

So much has happened since then.

Soarin and Zephyr Breeze fought over me, but I chose Soarin, which brings us to the present.

Twilight, Sunset and Rarity were waving to me from the coffee shop.

I walked over to them.

"Rainbow, we saved you a seat!" said Rarity.

I asked while sitting down,"Where are the others?"

"On their way. Hey, look! There's Pinkie and Fluttershy!" cried Twilight, pointing to the entrance of the mall.

The duo walked over to our table.

"Um, hi. I just saw Applejack coming." whispered Fluttershy.

At that moment, Applejack arrived.

"Hey, girls. What are we gonna do today?" she asked.

Sunset replied,"First shopping, then freetime."

"Can we go to Sugarcube Corner after shopping?" I asked.

You see, I have something on my mind I need to let out.

Pinkie Pie answered,"Okie dokie! I've got special triple-chocolate cupcakes wit assorted rainbow sprinkles for you all!"

"Then it's settled. Shopping, Sugarcube Corner and freetime." concluded Twilight.

Rarity suggested,"What about splitting into two groups to shop, then regroup back in Sugarcube Corner?"

"Okay! I call me, Sunset, Pinkie and Fluttershy!" said Applejack.

"Fine with me." I said.

Applejack and her group set off towards the lifts.

I said to Twilight and Rarity, who were with me,"Sorry, but I have to go to the bathroom. You guys go shopping first and I'll catch up."

"Then we'll contact with our phones." replied Twilight.

She and Rarity headed towards a cosmetic store in the distance, whilst I walked to the bathroom, opposite to the direction they have gone.

I went into a cubicle and did my business, then walked out out. What I saw surprised me.
