Steve filled with fear and anxiety. He had done this same thing on the computer with his college roommates for laughs, but Rainbow Dash was a completely different story. Once she finished typing her name, she would see her face; about 5,000,000 times. He could only mutter one thing. "Wait." Rainbow Dash stopped typing her name in. She was on the letter 'h' in 'Dash'. "Why, is something wrong?" He couldn't tell her everything, so he stuck to questions. "Just to ask, how would you react if you saw yourself after you hit enter?"
She looked at him questioningly. "Well, I'm not going to see myself, right?" "Say you did, for some reason. Then how would you react to it?" "Even I don't really know the answer to that. If you're right, we'll find out." Steve left the room slowly, a million things once again racing through his mind. If, no, when she hits enter, what will happen? Will she be scared, or confused that she sees herself when she isn't expecting to? His questions were interrupted by Rainbow Dash's face, as she walked out of the room. Her expression was completely emotionless. She said nothing. She walked over to Steve, who was sitting on the stairs. She sat next to him, and with no emotion in her voice asked, "How...how did you…know?" He didn't respond to her. For a few minutes the two of them just sat staring at the wall. Finally, Rainbow Dash broke the silence. "I…I'm going to bed early." Steve finally responded to her. "I'll try to explain everything tomorrow." She didn't respond back, or even acknowledge that he had said anything. He went over and slept on the couch. He had a lot to tell tomorrow.
The next morning, Steve woke up to Rainbow Dash, who was sitting inches from him, waiting to hear everything. She still didn't appear to have any sort of emotion on her face. Before Rainbow could ask anything, Steve spoke up. "Okay, what do you need me to explain first?" He was hoping to broaden what he needed to explain, so that the whole process could go easier. Instead of helping him, she answered, "I want to know everything."
He decided to just start by explaining to her that millions of people watched and adored her. He told her about how everyone who loved her loved her friends too. He showed her a few episodes as an example, and every once in a while she would tell him what she was doing when she wasn't part of a scene. She also cringed when she saw things she regretted doing, smiled when she saw how awesome she really looked when she was performing tricks, and laughed at some of the things her friends did when she wasn't with them. Steve enjoyed it, and Rainbow Dash appeared to like re-living her memories. Slowly, the happiness the two of them had before returned to them. The one thing that troubled Steve was her return to Equestria. It wasn't about her leaving him; it was how she would react to her newfound knowledge of being secretly watched. Would her life become fake, with her new realizations of being watched? Would she tell her friends, and ruin the show he and so many others knew and loved? It bothered him enough to talk to her about it. She gave him a 'well duh' okay, and he wiped the thought from his mind again. He knew she wouldn't have thought of it herself, but of course Rainbow Dash always finds a way around admitting she's wrong. The day quickly darkened. They watched every episode there was, and by the time the credits rolled on the most recent episode, they were heading up to bed.
