21:30-22:00 "In Which There Is Yelling"

“Hey! Hey! OI, Featherbrain!”

Rainbow Dash turned around to face the earth pony yelling at her.

“Yeah, whadda want?” she called, floating up to head height, “Look, if it’s about the weather schedule, I’ll be revising it on Monday, so keep your farming details to yourself and just tell me what ya want.”

“Wait, you ain’t her. Sorry. My bad. And, uh, sorry I called you featherbrain.”

“Who were you looking for, buddy?” called Rainbow, as the earth pony beat a hasty retreat.

“You...ain’t mad?” stuttered the earth pony.

“Kinda annoyed, yeah. Mad? Nah. So come on, who’s this mare you were looking for?”

“Well, she’s a pegasus, about your height and your kinda colour too. Maybe a bit taller. Green and blue striped mane. I only saw you from the back, and I couldn’t see your tail, so that’s why I think I got you mixed up.”

Rainbow thought for a minute, remembering back to see if anypony like that had come through the town recently.

“Nope, Can’t say I’ve seen anypony like this mare you’re describing. But tell ya what, I’ll keep an eye out, and if i see her, should I tell her you’re looking for her?”

“That’d be great! Her name’s Pinfeather. If you see her, tell her Diggy was looking for her. She’ll know where to go from there.

“Sure, buddy,” said Rainbow, floating off in search of her new afternoon cloud to nap on. Two minutes later, just as Rainbow was about to fully drift off, a blue bolt crashed into her from behind.

“Screw you, changeling! If you’re going to impersonate me, at least get it right!” roared a female voice, cocking a hoof back, and Rainbow caught sight of a green and blue striped mane flaring in the wind.

“Pinfeather?” the pegasus stopped her punch dead, and let Rainbow Dash flare her own wings.

“How did you know my name?” asked the pegasus.

“Met a guy earlier who was lookin’ for ya. Said his name was Diggy.”

“Oh, great! You are brilliant. Sorry I hit you. Me and Digs have been hunting this band of changelings who kidnapped a friend of ours. They keep impersonating us.”

“It’s no problem. I’ve fought those things before. Not cool.”
