NOTE: If you haven't seen the episode "Return of Harmony" I recommend doing so before reading this story.

Things were still topsy turvy and crazy as heck in Ponyville and Twilight Sparkle had just found out what could stop the chaotic Discord and went to get her friends back to normal to put an end to the madness. Spike, feeling better from burping out all those letters sent by Princess Celestia to Twilight, stepped outside the library to see what exactly what kind of chaos was going on in Ponyville. He saw bunnies with giraffe legs running around, buffaloes doing ballerina and for some reason he saw Owlowicious in the garbage can. 

"Owlowicious?" He said confused. "What are you doing in the trash can?" Owlowicious jumped in front of him and meowed and hissed like a cat, angrily and ran off. 

"Hoo boy," said Spike. "Twilight, where ever you are, I hope you can fix this."

"Hi, Rainbow Dash!" said a voice.

Spike turned around and saw it was Scootaloo talking to him.

"Oh, hi, Scootaloo." said Spike. He was about to walk away until he stopped and looked confused. "Did you just call me Rainbow Dash?" He said.

"Well, duh!" said Scootaloo. "I heard you're the new Rainbow Dash!"

Spike looked ever more confused as he raised an eyebrow. "Oh!" Spike said, following a nervous laugh. "I get it! You heard it from Twilight! You heard since Rainbow Dash is nowhere to be found, Twilight made me the new Rainbow Dash to try and stop Discord from earlier. But it's gonna get better, she's gonna find the real Rainbow Dash and the others."

"Well," said Scootaloo, getting closer to Spike. "If you're not Rainbow Dash, why do you have her necklace?"

"Huh?" Spike said. He looked and saw he was wearing Rainbow Dash's Element of Harmony. "What the-?" He said in confusion. "I thought Twilight took this!" He pulled on the Element and tried to get it off, but it was stuck. 

"What's going on?!" Spike said. He then saw Scootaloo with a creepy grin walking towards him. "Okay, okay! Quit bugging me, Scoots!" Spike said, backing away. "I'm not Rainbow Dash!"

Spike then accidentally bumped into something. He looked up and saw Discord, grinning evilly at him. "D-d-discord!" Spike said, alarmed. 

"Why, my dear fellow." said Discord. "Is something troubling you?"

"Yes, something's troubling me!" Spike said. "Scootaloo won't listen to me! She keeps thinking I'm Rainbow Dash!"

"Well, come now. I don't think you have to worry about that." said Discord, grinning.

"What do you mean?" said Spike.

"Because you ARE Rainbow Dash!" said Discord, laughing evilly.

"What? No! I'm NOT Rainbow Da-" Spike stopped when he saw his purple skin turn blue. "Uh-oh." Spike said. He turned and saw Scootaloo running towards him. 

"AAAAAAAAUTOGRAAAAAAAAPH!" Scootaloo yelled.

Spike yelped and tried to run, but then saw his reflection in the water. His eyes were now red, and his green scales on his forehead then turned colorful...just like Rainbow Dash. "GAH!" He screamed. His scales then transformed into hair as his got in his eyes. "AAAAAUGH!" He screamed trying to run. 

Spike could now hear the galloping of Scootaloo's hooves getting faster and Discord's evil laughter. All of a sudden, he tripped on something. On the ground he saw his claws and feet have been turned into hooves! "NO! NO!!!" He said. "MAKE IT STOP!" He saw the shadow of Scootaloo getting closer and started to cover his eyes. "Stay back! G-g-get away! Get away from me!" He then felt something touch him.

"NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!" Spike screamed. He then jumped in the air. As he landed back on the ground he saw that he was back in Twilight's bedroom. He saw his skin was turned back to purple and that he now had claws instead of hooves. He then looked and saw Twilight looking at him, while wearing her crown.

"Are you alright, Spike?" said Twilight.

Spike sighed in relief, while sweating a little. "It's nothing, it was just a nightmare." He said. "So, what happened to Discord?"

Twilight grinned. "He's turned back to stone like he used to be." Twilight said. "And our friends are back to the way they were." Twilight gestured for Spike to look out the window and saw that Applejack, Fluttershy, Rarity, Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash were now colorful again and they were cheering over their victory while Discord was on the ground turned into a stone statue.

"Well, Twilight," said Spike, smiling at Twilight. "I always had faith in ya."

Twilight smiled and hugged her friend. "Thanks Spike." She said. "They're holding a ceremony for all of us tomorrow. But right now, I'm foalsitting."

"Ah," said Spike. "I'm guessing some fillies were a little scared over what happened I presume?"

"You could say that." said Twilight.

"Okay. But who exactly are you foalsitting?" said Spike. He then saw Scootaloo walk up to him.

"Hi!" said Scootaloo, smiling.

Spike's eyes widened in fear. "NOOOOO!" He screamed. "I'M NOT RAINBOW DASH!" Spike then jumped out the window and began running for his life. Twilight, along with Scootaloo, Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle peeked out the window in confusion.

"What's with him?" said Scootaloo.
