Rainbow Dash laughed quietly to herself as she scanned her text messages while on her morning walk. She had a good twelve or fifteen from Pinkie Pie she’d received this morning, all about how her idea for Sunset’s date went. “Looks like it went as well as I thought it would!” she said.

Of course she was responsible for Pinkie Pie setting up Sunset with both Adagio and Trixie. Pinkie Pie had been doing her usual blabbing to herself over some silly plan or other, apparently some desire to set up Sunset with someone because “Sunny’s too grumpy and lonely!” So when she heard who Pinkie was considering, of course Rainbow Dash was going to intervene. Adagio and Trixie? It would be a disaster! A hilarious disaster.

But as she scanned the texts, her laughter died away, replaced by confusion. “Wait, what?” she muttered as she read on. Pinkie was congratulating her for the idea. “What?”

“There she is!” 

Rainbow Dash’s eyes widened in horror as she whirled on her heel to see Trixie pointing her out to Sunset, who were standing together just up the street. “Uuuh… heeeey, guys!” she said as she took a few steps back, only to back up into someone. She turned her head and blanched when she realized who it was.

Adagio set a strong hand on her shoulder and held the athlete firmly in place. “Hello, Rainbow Dash,” she said with a sharp-toothed grin.

“Hi?” Rainbow squeaked, swallowing noticeably. “W-what’s up?”

Sunset marched up to her, stopped about two feet away, and punched her left palm with her right fist. “We’ve got something to say to you.”

Oh god. Oh god I’m gonna die. I’m gonna die they’re gonna kill me oh god oh god. Rainbow Dash’s eyes scanned the area as if desperately searching for some escape. 

But before she could move an inch, Adagio secured her other hand on Rainbow’s other shoulder, pinning her in place. "Going somewhere?"

Rainbow shuddered, fear running through her whole body before she abruptly screamed, “I didn’t mean it I’m sorry I shouldn’t have done it please don’t kill me!”

“Oh don’t worry,” Sunset said with a sadistic smile. “We’re not going to kill you, Rainbow.”

“You’re… you’re not?” Rainbow said, her whole body trembling.

“No, no, no,” Trixie said with a shake of her head. She held up her phone. “We have a different idea in mind.” Scanning through her contacts, she picked out one and dialed. “Hello, Zephyr Breeze?”

Rainbow’s pupils shrank to pinpricks. “No. No, you wouldn’t. You wouldn’t!”

“Yes, that’s right,” Trixie said, nodding as she spoke into her phone. “So, tonight at seven, then? She’ll be ready, don’t worry.” Then she hung up. “Looks like you’re on, Rainbow!”

“Oh screw that!” Rainbow reached up a hand to her geode and summoned up its power so she could speed away, only to fall face first on the ground. “What…”

Adagio yanked on the leash she’d attached around Rainbow’s neck and hauled the athlete up to her feet. “Sorry, but you’re not running away from this one.”

Rainbow let out a wordless scream.
