"We need to talk," Twilight said to Rainbow. 

"What?" Rainbow looked very confused. Looking at her face, Twilight couldn't take it anymore. She sat down with her back to the wall and started sobbing.

"Was it something I said?" Rainbow's voice was soft as she knelt next to Twilight.

"No, dear, she has been having a hard time back in Equestria. I think I'll let her explain when she's ready," Rarity said gently.

"R-Rainbow D-Dash h-has been p-pony-napped!" Twilight cried. "The h-humans, t-they c-came to E-Equestria, on a g-giant floating t-thingie t-that l-left s-smoke in t-the air, and t-they took h-her, and w-we h-have to g-go r-rescue h-her RIGHT NOW!" she wailed.

"What?" Rainbow said again. "I'm right here. I haven't been kidnapped."

"She means the other Rainbow Dash, dear. The one from her world," Rarity explained. "That's why we came to you for help."

"What can I do? Besides being awesome, of course," Rainbow just had to add.

"Y-you would know what you would do if you were in that s-situation," Twilight replied, calming down a little bit. "Whether you would fight back or just sit quietly and wait to be rescued."

"I'd fight back! Nobody can lay a hand on me without a good punch to the face!" the cyan girl retorted.

"Exactly! S-so she has to be really contained if they want to keep her in there!" Twilight's gears started turning. 

"And if they lay a hand on her/me, she'll/I'll kick 'em back to Equestria!" Rainbow finished with a familiar gleam of adventure in her eyes. Twilight saw that glow often. She sighed at the memory. 

"She wouldn't be scared, if I know Rainbow," Rarity added.

"She could probably take 'em!" Rainbow balled her fists as if she were the pony and she was going to punch the idiots who kidnapped her.

The girls didn't know how wrong they were.

"But she still needs to be rescued," Twilight put a downer on their conversation. "So will you do it?"

"Of course!" Rainbow was obviously itching to go on the adventure. "But I need to ask my mom first."\

"You aren't seriously going to ask her this?" Rarity demanded. "'Oh, hey, Mom, can I go on an adventure with my friend Twilight who is from another world to rescue her pony friend Rainbow Dash that might possibly get me killed?'" Rarity made little mouth motions with her hands. "'Oh, sure, Rainbow!' NOT! She will never say yes!"

"I'll just say it's a school project that I want to help Twilight with," Rainbow argued. She turned to Twilight. "Do you know where they are taking Rainbow?"

"Uh..." Twilight smiled sheepishly. "Not exactly..."

"Twilight," Rarity began, "Equestria may seem really big to you, but it is really just one small island in a giant world. They could be anywhere!" 

"Yeah, Twilight. Did you hear them mention any place in particular?"

"Well..." said Twilight, trying to remember. "They said something like 'Biscuit will pay good money for this one,' but that's about it." her gaze was locked on her boots.

"Great!" Rainbow started pacing the room, looking irritated. "What now?"

"I'VE GOT IT!!!" yelled Rarity so suddenly Twilight jumped and slammed her head on the wall.

"Sorry, dear, but I recognize that name! That's Ficher Biscuit from Largest Ever Pet Shop!" She was really excited now.

"They want to sell me to a PET SHOP?!?!?" Rainbow was outraged. "I am like, the coolest pony ever, and they want to sell me to a PET SHOP?!?!?"

"Anyway, I know where that is!" Rarity said.

"Yeah, yeah, who doesn't?" Rainbow was still fuming. 

"I want Rainbow to come with me to rescue her," Twilight said.

"What about me?" whined Rarity. "Don't you like me?" 

"Of coarse I like you," Twilight said gently. "But this is Rainbow's fight, if you know what I mean."

"Sweet!" Rainbow was now zooming around the room in excitement.

"But we need to go. Now. Rainbow could be in terrible danger."
