“Ooh! This is so exciting! Are you excited? I’m excited.” Pinkie said as she bounced circles around Rainbow. She didn’t know how Pinkie could have all this energy when she was crying only a few seconds ago. Rainbow was so lost in thought that she didn’t notice that Pinkie had stopped talking.

“Pinkie? Pinkie where are you?” She yelled into the mist. She tried to fly but her wings were plastered to her sides. ‘Huh? What’s goung on? Why can’t I fly?” She thought to herself. She was still trying to see through the dense mist but Pinkie was nowhere in sight. “PINKIE?!” She yelled into the mist. There was no answer. ‘Where could that bubbly mare go?” She thought to herself. She’s been doing a lot of thinking lately, thinking about stuff, especially about a certain pink mare. “No.” She slapped herself.

With Pinkie …
Pinkie heard Dash call out her name but Dash was nowhere to be found. She was jumping around Dash when she jumped into a hole. She slid down the dirty hole until she came out the other end into a large-sprawling city. A really old city. ‘Wow. How is this city so old? I know! It’s got a time-distorting sort of thing on it. How is this possible …” Pinkie just continued thinking, trying not to let her thoughts wander to a certain book about a certain something she did to a certain cyan, rainbow-maned pony.

But she didn’t really do that, did she? ‘I couldn’t have done those things. I would’ve known about it, wouldn’t I?’ She kept thinking to herself when she bumped into a wall. ‘Ouch.’ She rubbed her now throbbing nose and took better care to watch where she was going. She took stock of her surroundings and saw that she was inside a house. Made out of stone. ‘Well duh this would be made out of stone. We’re in a whole city made of stone, silly.’ She chuckled at herself and kept walking.

With Rainbow …
‘Where could that mare have gotten to?’ She thought to herself. Again. She was so lost in thought that she didn’t notice she how she fell into a hole. A she slid out the other side, she slid straight into a stone wall, nearly blacking out in the process. 

‘Ouch.’ It happened to be the exact same wall that Pinkie banged into. But Rainbow didn’t know that. Rainbow got up and tried to flap her wings again. It didn’t work as they were still glued to her sides. ‘Damn. Why won’t these things work?’ She trotted in what was hopefully a direction that didn’t have any walls in it. That is, until she bumped into a mare with a sparkly flowing mane that managed to defy gravity and had a crazy look in her eyes.

“Sorry, I didn’-” She stopped speaking as she realised who the mare was. Nightmare Moon. She squealed and ran in the other direction. Nightmare Moon cackled and flew after her. The cyan mar had no hope of escaping.

“Psst! Dash, in here!” Somepony whispered as Dash shot around the slightly deteriorating doorframe.

“Phew! That was close! Thank-” Rainbow’s spine stiffened as she recognised the voice. “Nononononononono.” She screamed again and ran out of the building, straight into the hoofs of Nightmare Moon. “Oof.” Dash collapsed in Nightmare’s hoofs.

“Thanks for your help Discord.” Discord cackled as he tipped an imaginary hat to her and slowly faded from sight. “That wasn’t nearly as fun as chasing that stupid pink mare.” She cackled quietly and flew to the dungeons underneath Time Castle. She locked Dash in one of the cells that just so happened to be right between Pinkie Pie and Twilight Sparkle.
