Chapter 19: The Social Butterfly - Twilight's Choice

Rainbow Dash was at the Library early in the morning.

"Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo, Diamond Tiara, Silver Spoon, and Rumble have all gone missing?!" Twilight exclaimed.

"That's right. Cheerilee was hosting a spring break camp-out in the safe zone of Everfree Forest; you know, part of where The Society had cleared out?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Well apperently, when it was time for roll call last night, all six of them didn't show up. Which is why she had to end the camp out early and then asked me and several others to help out." Rainbow Dash said. "I know I promised to hang out today Twilight, but I want to help find them. Especially Scootaloo." She added.

"...I understand. And this is far more important anyways." Twilight said. Suddenly Flash Sentry barged in.

"Th-the foals. They've been found!" Flash Sentry said.

"Wait already?" Rainbow Dash asked.


Sure enough, all six foals were well and accounted for. In fact, none of them seemed any worse for wear.

"What exactly happened? Where did you six go off to for mearly six hours?" Cheerilee asked.

"Huh? Six hours? Now that can't be right." Scootaloo said.

"What do you mean Scoots?" Rainbow Dash said.

"She's got a point. From my track keeping, we've been gone for six days." Silver Spoon said.

"But you've only been missing for six full hours." Cheerilee said. "It was enough to miss roll call." She added.

"I knew this would happ--" Spoiled Rich started.

"Don't. Even. Mother." Diamond Tiara said. "You don't even get to talk down to them like that. Not now, not ever. Not after what we went through." She spoke. "It may have only been six hours for you, but it's been six full days. And I for one, don't need you breathing down my neck after I JUST got back home. And I'm definitely NOT going to be some filly you can mold anymore." The pink filly said before going home.

"...What was that about?" Rainbow Dash exclaimed.

"...Yeah, funny story there..." Scootaloo said, motioning to her flank. She and the other CMC members had cutie marks now.

"Wait really? Wow. Must have been something crazy. At some point you have to tell me what it is you six went through." Rainbow Dash said.

"Heh. Sure thing." Scootaloo said. "But for now, I would so like to head to bed. It'll probably take all six of us the rest of spring break to readjust our sleeping schedules." She added.


Meanwhile, Diamond Tiara had informed her father of what her mother was trying to pull behind Filthy Rich's back. This led to an argument that could be heard half-way across ponyville.


That night, Twilight had come to a conclusion. She had made her decision with a little help from Patra.

"C'mon, you should know all too well whose the best fit for you. There's only one option that works with who you are." Patra said. "Want some advice? Don't think about the what ifs. Think about what you've experienced with each pony, and who was there when you needed them the most. And defiantly don't waste time. This is your chance to lead your ideal love life." She added.

Twilight couldn't help but admit it at the time, but Patra was right. There was only one answer to her problem. And she knew exactly who it was that her heart was set on already.


Which is why the next day, Twilight had chosen Flash Sentry as who she would marry. Rainbow Dash took it better then Twilight had hoped and decided that she would try with Moondancer. More so in secret.

"Thanks for the advice Patra. I couldn't have come to this conclusion without you." Twilight said.

"It was nothing really. I was more so speaking from personal experience. I once had ruined the opportunity to have my own ideal love life. But thankfully, things are a lot more patched up." Patra said. "And I would like to thank you especially Rainbow Dash." She added.

"Huh? Why thank me?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Rob is much brighter and a lot more carefree. Just like he was before. After what happened, he almost lost his way. And he said I had you to thank for bringing him out of the darkness." Patra said.

"What do you mean what happened? Does this have to do with that Wildman character I heard mentioned?" Spitfire said. She was there on request as the wonderbolts had been called in to perform at the wedding of Twilight Sparkle and Flash Sentry with this being Rainbow Dash's first official Wonderbolt showing.

"...Perhaps you shall see the truth with your own eyes." Patra said before lifting her shirt. There was a diagonal part of her fur that was slightly lighter than the rest of her black fur.

"That's not normal." Rainbow Dash said.

"No. It's not. The Wildman had caught me by surprise, and burnt that part of my fur off with a flame claw attack. Ever since then and especially after The Omega incident, Rob was starting to lose himself. But thankfully you brought him out of that darkness." Patra said.

"Why? Why are you so important to him?" Rainbow Dash asked. But then she went wide eyed. "...Wait. I think I know." She added.

"...Figured it out did you?" Patra said before putting her shirt back down. "Rob Snowden, is my husband." Patra said.

Spitfire suddenly fainted. "...I DID NOT SEE THAT ONE COMING!" Twilight said before fainting as well.
