Rainbow awoke to find all of her friends ontop of her legs, and bricks on the feathers of her wings. "What are you doing?"
Twilight noticed that Rainbow was awake and hopped off of one of her legs. "Oh. You're awake. Good."
"Why where you ontop of me?"
Pinkie hopped off of on of the other legs. "You where going absolutely crazy. We had to pin you down to stop you from flying off in your sleep."
"Ok then. Now that i'm awake, can we get to business? And while your at it, get these bricks off my wings."
Applejack climbed off of a leg and picked up the bricks with her mouth. "There ya go sugercube. That better?"
"Yeah, thanks." Rainbow shook off Rarity, who was still asleep, and stood up. She stretched her wings before looking toward Twilight. "So. Whats the plan?"
"The plan is, I go into your dreams."
Rainbow took a second to process what she said. Then she realised. "Didn't you already do that?"
"I ment without going to sleep."
"How are you going to do that?"
"With a spell."
"Will it hurt?"
"It shouldn't."
"What are ya going to do in her dreams?" Applejack questioned.
"I'm going to see what I can do about that phantom. With any luck, I should be able to use something to purify Fluttershy's soul."
"But you heard her AND agreed. The elements are useless if they are not a complete set."
Rainbow Dash said.
Twilight looked smug. "I never said they weren't a complete set."
"Huh?"
"It's not the body that the element resides in, it's the soul. Fluttershy's soul may be corrupted by an evil phantom but the element is still there. All I need to do is bring the necklaces into your dreams. Then I can put each necklace onto each of you and onto her."
Rainbow Dash just stared at Twilight.
"Wow, you are slow. Just be here tonight and go to sleep."
"Oh ok. I can do that."

"So you're sure this won't hurt." Rainbow was tired, and her eyes where half closed, but she wanted to be sure that it would work before she followed through with it.
Twilight reassured Rainbow Dash "Yes Rainbow, I'm sure. If it does, it will be a little pin prick. Nothing you can't handle."
"And you're sure it won't backfire?"
Twilight thought about this for a second "Ummmm........"
"What ummmm. What's wrong!?"
"It might backfire. It is a very dangerous spell."
"NO! I'm not doing it if it might kill me!"
"Calm down. It's not going to kill you. But it's results may be catastrophic. You have to do it. For Fluttershy."
"...."
"Please?"
"Fine." Rainbow said reluctantly.
"Good. Now sleep."
It didn't take long for Rainbow to fall asleep. Twilight gathered the other ponies around her. Her horn glowed a lavender colour. A purple ball surrounded the four ponies and another ball surrounded Rainbow Dash. Slowly, the gap between the two bubbles shrunk untill they where almost touching. When they contacted, the two bubbles merged together and the four mares where in Rainbow's dream.

They stood in the all too familiar cell. In front of them was Fluttershy's corrupted soul. Or her rear end anyway. They looked up to see there friend chained up against the wall. It was clear that neither of them where aware of their presence. The corrupted Fluttershy began to speak. "Aww no friends? They're going to miss out on the fun. Oh well, more for you."
Rainbow tried to break the chains but failed. She decided to just talk. "Why are you doing this?"
"Isn't it obvious? I live off fear and pain. You are both. You fear sleeping because of me and the pain just makes it better."
"But why me?"
"Becuase, you know dear Flutttershy more than anypony else. So it makes it even more enjoyable to see the look on your face as your best friend causes you so much pain."
"Why don't you let me down from here and face me like a real pony! Unless of course you want to keep on being a coward."
The corrupted Fluttershy walked up to Rainbow and got up in her face. "Watch your tongue. Or i'll cut it off. Not just here, but in the real world too."
"You can't. In a way, we're both trapped here. You can't get out and neither can I."
"Oh but I can get out of he-" She was cut off by a Pink blur tackling her out of nowhere.
"YOU GET AWAY FROM DASHIE!!!!!!" Pinkie began hitting the corrupted Fluttershy. Suddenly, she dissapeared. Pinkie looked around to be greeted with a shadowy hoof hitting her square on the muzzle. Pinkie flew back into the corner of the room. Rainbow let out a shriek. "PINKIE!!!!!" She felt her hooves being released from her chains. She looked up to see a purple aura surrounding them. With a sudden jolt, the chains flew open, releasing Rainbow Dash. She landed on the floor with a loud thud. This got the corrupted Fluttershy's attention. She turned around to see her prisoner released and running toward her, wings flared out. She jumped into the corrupted Fluttershy, piling ontop of her. The other ponies all pinned her down. Twilight picked up the necklace that belonged to the element of kindness and put it on her. She put the necklaces on the others. With all of them wearing necklaces, a rainbow shot into the sky, distorting the image of the dream. It arched back down, enveloping them all in a rainbow circle. Just before the corrupt sould of Fluttershy went back to normal, all went black.
