The sun peaked over Ponyville on one fine morning. The rays of light banished the shadows of the previous night, awakening those from their slumber to the land of the living. On the bare outskirts of the town, local wildlife began to sound and add to the chorus of mornings events. It was starting to appear that the day would proceed in a fine and wonderful fashion for all involved - until one specific pegasus awoke in her cloudhouse. This pegasus, a mare of fine reputation and excellent loyalty, was named Rainbow Dash.
Rainbow Dash was well known in Ponyville for her willingness to help a friend in need. Indeed, on this specific and present fine morning, she had priorly accepted to assist her friend Fluttershy with a very specific assignment. For Fluttershy, as a docile and gentle pegasus mare, was sometimes incapable of assigning herself to the dangers of the everfree forest. Rainbow Dash would quite often make up for her inability to traverse the scariness of the Everfree out of genuine loyalty and concern for her friend. Thus it was on this fine morning, at this present hour, at this present minute, that her eyes did open and she felt a surge of-
“Auuugh!” cried the pegasus mare in dismay. “It’s too early!”
-a surge of incredible laziness that did forsook her willingness to assist her friend. Unbeknownst to the now-sleeping pegasus, hours passed. Many hours, in fact. So many hours that Fluttershy - timid as she is - decided to undertake her mission on her own. Unfortunately, this led to a series of unfortunate events that would lead Rainbow on her most perilous rescue mission yet.
