Scootaloo and Gilda regrouped at the park, where they told each other how their friends did not believe them.
"They said that I'm selfish and negative!" Scootaloo blurted out.
"My fellow griffons think that I'm lame for thinking of such thing as Rainbow being nasty." Gilda shared her part of the story.
"Yeah, does some cool, honest and polite stallion like Soarin even deserve to be married to a demanding, selfish jerk?!" Scootaloo angrily asked.
"I don't think so, and I ain't going to let something like that happen!" Gilda announced.
"Me neither!" Scootaloo added, "We got to tell Soarin, before it's too late!"
In his room, Soarin was getting dressed for the rehearsal that night, before he heard a knock on his door. Opening it, he found Scootaloo and Gilda, before cheerfully greeting them, "Scootaloo, Gilda! How nice it is for you two to come and check on me, even after how you were behaving this morning," He then noticed not happy, but worried expressions on the girls' faces. "Is everything alright?" he asked in a concerned tone.
"Not really." Gilda replied.
"It's about Rainbow Dash," Scootaloo explained, "I know this is hard to believe, but I think you're making a big mista-"
Scootaloo's sentence was interfered by 'Rainbow Dash' clearing her throat.
"Rainbow Dash! Your friends are here telling me something's wrong with you, but you can tell me now that you yourself is here," Soarin told his 'bride'.
"Can I have a moment with you, IN PRIVATE?" she asked, walking into a small room nearby.
Gilda and Scootaloo both expressed disgust as they watch 'Rainbow' beating them in every move.
"Sorry, girls, I got to see what she wants," Soarin told them, before joining 'Rainbow Dash'.
Curious and suspicious, Gilda and Scootaloo peeked through a small opening they made by quietly pushing open the door a little.
"I thought I made it perfectly clear that I don't want you to wear that!" 'Rainbow' told Soarin, in a demanding tone.
"But it's the best I could get!" he explained, "What do you want me to do?"
"Go find something more awesome," 'Rainbow' answered in. an unpleasant tone.
"What?!" Soarin responded in shock, "But...but this is very expensive! It costed me thirty bits!" he complained.
"Are you disagreeing with me?!" 'Rainbow' angrily asked.
"I guess I..." Soarin argued, before being interfered by his headache caused by his unpleasant emotions during the argument.
"Oh dear, are you getting a headache?" asked 'Rainbow Dash', in a nicer tone than the one she had during the argument, but not in a very caring tone. She then took a bottle of water-like liquid, and gave it to Soarin, telling him, "Here's some water, get better."
"Thanks," he responded, before proceeding to drink.
But, after he finished the bottle, his green emerald eyes started to turn lighter, into a colour that matched Shining Armor's eyes when Chrysalis casted a spell on the said unicorn.
Gilda and Scootaloo, who were witnessing everything, gasped in shock.
"Not only was she demanding and nasty, she's DOWNRIGHT EVIL!" Scootaloo exclaimed in total shock, before dashing off with Gilda.
After recovering from his headache, Soarin walked out of the room, only to see the girls leaving in a hurry, to his confusion as he called out to them, "Scootaloo! Gilda! Where are you two going?!"
"Let them go," 'Rainbow' told him.
Gilda dropped Scootaloo in front of a building that the rest of the Cutie Mark Crusaders were in.
"I'll get my griffon pals and we'll meet up with you as soon as we can." Gilda told the pegasus, before racing off.
Scootaloo nodded for Gilda to see, before the griffon's departure. The pegasus rushed to the door, to find it locked.
"Apple Bloom! Open the door!" she pounded at the door, knocking it as fast as her heartbeats.
Apple Bloom opened the door and greeted Scootaloo in a warm, cheerful tone, "Hey Scoots! What in tarnation is all that loud banging about? And the look on your face?"
Scootaloo's expression was quite out of the ordinary for her, as she barely had a face as shocked as the one she was expressing that instant. "What are you all...doing? Why are you all dressed like bridesmaids?" the pegasus asked.
"That's because we ARE Rainbow Dash's bridesmaids!" Sweetie Belle excitedly exclaimed her answer, as she adjusted her dress.
"Rainbow Dash's bridesmaids?! But...but...aren't her best friends, Applejack, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie and Rarity SUPPOSED to be her bridesmaids?!" Scootaloo asked, demanding for answers.
"She figured that they should be given a break from all their hard work, so she reserved front row for them." Apple Bloom explained, in a good mood.
"And we fill in for them as bridesmaids!" exclaimed Babs Seed and Gabby as they appeared, being honorary members of the CMCs, they eventually got called in to fill in for the remaining half of the Bridesmaids.
Scootaloo just could not believe how 'Rainbow' was really beating her(Scootaloo) and Gilda in every move. With every creature else being so positive and naive towards 'Rainbow Dash', they totally would never believe any creature who says that 'Rainbow' is bad.
"Looks like Gilda and I are really on our own." Scootaloo mumbled to herself sadly.
Later, at the wedding location, the rehearsal took place as the bridesmaids regally walked down the red carpet, and into their positions.
Princess Twilight Sparkle, being in charge of the wedding, and chief witness, regally announced, "Perfect, girls. Now, may the bride and groom enter.”
The pegasus couple walked down the red carpet and onto the platform, upon their arrival, Twilight begun her speech as if it was the actual wedding, even though the many guests were absent.
"Every creature in this crowd, we are all gathered here today to celebrate the union and marriage of two very lucky Pegasi, who happened to both be Wonderbolts. With one being the co-captain of the team, and the other being one of the six pony heroine protectors of Equestria, and the Element of Loyalty, I can't describe what this wedding would be like if it weren't for all of you guests to be here. Without further ado, let's get the rings from the first-ever Best Non-mare."
Every creature turned to where Gilda was supposed to be, only to notice her and Scootaloo's absences.
The next second, the absent pony and griffon appeared, bursting in very suddenly, surprising every creature.
"EVERY CREATURE!" Gilda shouted angrily, before Scootaloo took over the speech.
"WE HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY TO ALL OF YOU!" the pegasus shouted, before pointing a hoof at 'Rainbow' and shouting, "RAINBOW DASH IS EVIL!"
The completed sentence made every creature who heard it gasp in shock, loud enough for any passer-by to hear.
The accusing girls then went on to evaluating their accusation.
"First, she treated us like we never existed even after we got her to notice us and hear us!" Gilda pointed out, slamming her claw onto the ground.
"Then, for the rest of the day, she was being mean and demanding towards her own long-time best friends!" Scootaloo added, before cornering 'Rainbow' to the wedding arch.
"Last but not least, we saw her giving Soarin some weird water-like liquid that made his eyes change colour, as if putting some evil spell on him!" Scootaloo then concluded, shocking every creature with her description.
A shocked, frightened, and heart-broken 'Rainbow Dash' cried out, "Stop hurting my feelings!" as she galloped out of the park, with tears flowing out of her eyes.
Satisfied with scaring "Rainbow' off, Gilda and Scootaloo bumped their respective claw and hoof against each other, only to be glanced at by an angry group of creatures at the rehearsal.
"That is just RIDICULOUS!" Soarin angrily confronted the two, "Rainbow Dash is never evil! Nor anything like that! I can't believe that whole incident with Wind Rider framing her was not the only time friends of hers accuse her! Ever since she was proven innocent, I realised that she is a pony worth trusting and calling a hero, and had been working hard to make amends for accusing and threatening her! It was so hard to make this wedding happen! From making amends, to making a proposal to her! And when everything finally worked out after so much time and difficulty, YOU TWO RUINED EVERYTHING!"
Gilda and Scootaloo were speechless to see Soarin so furious, before most of his anger vanished, with a bit remaining, as he told the two rehearsal-crashers, "Now if you two excuse me, I need to go check on my bride, and keep her wedding as far away from you two as possible. You can forget about your special positions in the event, because you shouldn't even be invited."
The girls were shocked and devastated as they watch Soarin, followed by all of their friends leave the park, angry about their actions.
The tallest creature present, Princess Twilight Sparkle, turned to the girls, "I know what it feels like, girls, I've been where you two are once, before gaining my wings. But come on, it's your old friend! You should know she's good. You two really got to lighten up a bit."
After Twilight left, Scootaloo and Gilda expressed remorse over their actions.
Scootaloo sadly lamented:
”What have we done? Is it too late?
Can't believe we turned ourselves into creatures we hate,
Now we lost the support of all of our friends.
What have we done? What price have we paid?
It's not worth it anymore, for the regret that it made,
We just want everything to be alright and this nightmare to end...”
As the song ended, 'Rainbow Dash' trotted towards the sorrowful griffon and pegasus, and gently stroke their heads.
"Looks like we were wrong about you, Dash." Gilda admitted.
"We are so sorry, Rainbow!" Scootaloo cried out.
"It's okay, I totally forgive you," 'Rainbow' told them, before saying, "Now, why don't I show you a special place to prove that I'm not mad?"
"Sure," Scootaloo replied, before she and Gilda followed 'Rainbow' to a gazebo nearby, where she revealed a hidden chamber of crystals underneath.
"Wow," Gilda could not help but say, upon seeing such majestical things.
"There's more," 'Rainbow' told the girls, leading them to a darker portion of the caves.
"Um, Rainbow?" Scootaloo asked, "I don't think this is worth seeing!" she turned to see her adoptive sister back near the entrance, to her shock, 'Rainbow' had a sinister look, that quickly transformed into a wicked grin.
"You're right, Scootaloo... that isn't worth seeing, but this is!" Finishing her sentence, "Rainbow' kicked a nearby crystal which caused a domino effect, leading to the entire cave to shake.
Gilda and Scootaloo were forced to rush deeper into the cave, in order to avoid being crushed by the falling crystals. When they were completely blocked by opaque crystals, 'Rainbow Dash' grinned evilly and walked away.
