So, Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy flew around in the past, searching for some positive memories.
"Rainbow Dash, look! Remember when you believed in me that time?" Fluttershy cried with an excited gasp.
"Yeah, I knew you could do it," Rainbow Dash said with a smile.
"Our first duet! How sweet!" Fluttershy said.
Trying to get the image out of her mind, Rainbow Dash focused on what exactly they were singing about. Yes, she thought, When I felt left out about not having a pet. That was when Tank and I met.
She blushed as she listened.
Now, Rainbow, my dear
I cannot express my delight
She had called her "my dear" and how she couldn't "express her delight". Back then, were the signs as clear as day? No, Rainbow Dash thought. But it was a thought. She continued to listen closely.
I can't wait to get started
But first let me set a few rules
It's of utmost importance the pet that I get
Is something that's
Awesome and cool!
Was she that ignorant to think that an animal that flies was cool enough for somepony like her at the time? Rainbow Dash watched herself in disgust as she saw herself kicking Tank to the side.
Then it came to her realisation. I chose him because he was following my Element. He was loyal to me and I couldn't turn him down. So, I fell in love with him and made him my pet, naming him Tank, she thought.
Collecting her thoughts and putting together the pieces from that her until now, she still had the nerve to listen---- to find out more about herself from that day.
What to do? What to do?
A prize! That's it!
There's really just one way
To find out
Which animal's best
Hold a contest of speed
Agility and guts
That will put
Each pet to the test!
Rainbow Dash was almost through with listening to herself at this point. Now, she was listening to the duet parts, which made her soul tingle in a way it never had before. It was almost unreal for her. Was it true? Was the love there even then?
She shook off the thoughts and faced Fluttershy, determined. "Great memory," she remarked, "But I need to ask you something---- actually tell you and ask you something before I find a way to bust us outta here."
"Bust us out? What do you mean? The past is beautiful!" Fluttershy said, overjoyed.
"Our friends back in Modern Equestria and the Student Six are terrified back in Modern Griffonstone," Rainbow Dash said while mindlessly packing, "That's why we're leaving,but in a totally awesome way."
"Uh, Rainbow Dash, you're not packing anything," Fluttershy said.
Rainbow Dash got up and blushed along with a nervous grin and chuckle. "My bad," she said.
"Just one more magical dance and then we can go. I promise," Fluttershy said.
So, they danced in the past one last time, invoking richer feelings each time.
