"Dashy, struggling doesn't help anything," Rarity told her for the millionth time.
"It's must do SOMETHING!", Rainbow yelled. She was tied to the ground with frosting and ropes.
"Bet you're glad I got ten extra tubes of frosting," Pinkie sang as she bounced around the room.
"Yes, Pinkie." Rarity sounded exhausted. "Now, I'm almost done with the sewing, but I need to run to the market for some more thread. Would you mind watching Dashy for a moment while I'm gone?"
"Hey!" Rainbow Dash glared at Rarity. "I'm right here! And I'm not a dog!"
"Sure thing, Rarity!", Pinkie said.
"Thank you, dear. You're a gem." Rarity grabbed her 'shopping hat' and basket. "Oh, and make sure Dashy stays calm and controlled in order to get her powers."
"Okee-dokee, artichokee!", Pinkie happily replied.
"Thank you!" Rarity walked out of the salon.
"Okay, Dashy, I want you to look deep into your sole--"
"This is rediculous," Rainbow mumbled.
"Dashy, Rarity as at the market and Twilight is busy with some sort of princessey thingy in Canterlot. So I'm in charge of you for now, and that means I have to help you get your powers. So--"
Rainbow Dash got an idea. "Hey, Pinkie! I just remembered something! There's a HUGE sale at the baking store. You know, the one that...Pinkie?" Rainbow looked around the fitting room, but Pinkie Pie had already ran to the store that had a "sale".
"Hmm. That works." Rainbow tried to pick up her hooves from the frosting and ropes, but it wouldn't budge.
Just then, one of the greatest Wonderbolts in all of history came into the salon.
"Hey, Dash," he said.
Rainbow's face flushed the deepest shade of red she'd ever thought possible. "Soarin! What are you doing here?"
"I heard you screaming a while ago. Sorry I couldn't get here sooner. The Wonderbolts sorta held me hostage for training."
Rainbow had forgotten about Soarin's impeccable hearing. It was almost as though HE had powers. His other powers were his amazing personality, and good looks.
"Dash?" Soarin asked.
"Huh?"
"I said, 'are you okay?' Or did you have a fight with a dozen tubes of frosting?" Soarin gave her that wicked gorgeous grin of his.
Rainbow blushed again, then answered, "No. We were trying something, but it's almost impossible. Twilight tried to give me powers, but they have to come on their own."
"Oh. Well, is the test over, 'cuz I could use a mountain hike right about now."
"Yeah, we're done...Would you mind untying me?"
"Sure." He did, and together, they flew out the window.
