Chapter 18: Reunited in Blindness

Applejack and Rarity and Big Mac and Sweetie Belle and Applebloom headed off to look for Rainbow Dash. She was probably napping on a cloud, as usual. The infinite skies above Equestria beckoned. Where could Rainbow Dash possibly be? It was impossible enough to find her when they actually had the gift of sight, since the clouds always hid her sleeping form from the ground. How would they ever find her? The situation seemed utterly hopeless.

"There she is!" yelled Applebloom.

It was true. They found Rainbow Dash almost immediately. How fortuitous!

"Rainbow Dash, wake up and get down here!" snorted Applejack.

"Whuh,... guh, what? What is it? I'm very busy up here," yawned Rainbow Dash.

"We are about to travel to the library, to ask Twilight to restore our sight with magic," Rarity explained, "Why don't you come with us? Everything will be much more convenient with eyes."

"Naah, I'll pass, guys. Sleeping's never been easier!" Rainbow Dash waved them away, but they couldn't see her hoof because they were blind.

"Dash, if you don't come with us, we're going to consider you very unloyal."

"Oh no," Rainbow Dash thought out loud, "I am the Element of Loyalty. I can no longer resist accompanying you on this quest." She flew down from her cloud and landed on Big Mac's back.

Big Mac shifted slightly under the weight. "Howdy, Rainbow Dash. That's my back. Couldja get offa me?"

"I'm over here, Big Mac," Rainbow Dash said in the void of blindness.

"Hi, Big Mac! Thanks for catching me. It's so great that I found you guys!"

"Hi, Pinkie Pie," everyone said at once.
