Ponies nearby the old building are looking out of the lit windows and doors of their houses to see what the commotion was about. Brinda and Twilight hear a scream in the direction from up ahead.  

“Rainbow Dash!” Twilight gasps as she runs even faster towards her destination. With a nod Brinda follows close behind.

The two of them make a left turn and spot a slumped blue figure in the middle of the rubble. Seeing her marefriend again brings tears to her eye as Twilight gallops towards her.

Feeling the gazes of judging eyes on her from the surrounding ponies, Rainbow Dash looks around and snaps at them. “What are ya lookin’ at!?”  

The staring ponies back into their homes slightly.  

“Babe!” Twilight approaches the rubble. Rainbow Dash sharply turns her head towards Twilight.

“Twi?” Her eye widens at the sight of her before barreling towards her in a furious blur.  

She knocks Twilight to the ground with a thud. Rainbow Dash stands above her with aggressive determination. “Where the fuck is Pinkie Pie!?”  

Twilight blinks, bewildered. She shuffles out from underneath the pissed off mare. “Babe, calm down. I’m just glad that you’re okay.” Twilight says as she places a hoof on her marefriend’s cyan cheek.

Breathing heavily, she moves Twilight’s hoof away and looks away to the side. “I just want her to pay for what she’s done.” Her partially mechanical voice is slightly calmer as she places her cyan hoof down firmly.

Beady eyes are still peaking out from behind curtains and cracked doors. Brinda is idly watching from a distance.

“We’ll talk about that later, but for now we need to focus on you.” Twilight says as she gently places a hoof on Rainbow Dash’s chest. Twilight is unsure whether or not to tell her marefriend about Pinkie’s whereabouts.

Rainbow Dash sits herself down with a long sigh. She turns her head back to look up at Twilight. “Y’know, I missed you, Twi.”

“Awe, I missed you too, babe.” Twilight says as she opens her arms and shares a close teary-eyed embrace.

Rainbow Dash wraps her front hooves around her marefriend, kisses her cheek, and holds her tight.

They gently break their embrace. “Shall we go back to the Golden Oak Library?” Twilight asks with a loving smile on her face.

“Sure, babe.” Rainbow Dash returns a genuine smile.
