"Who would DO such a thing?!", Rarity demanded. The squirrel chirped to Fluttershy again. She then said, "What?! No! They would never do that!" "Who?", Pinkie asked. "Well, he said that it was...the other Wonderbolts." Pinkie Pie did one of her long, signature gasps while Rarity said, "There has to be some mistake! Sure, they're rough with each other sometimes, but that's just obnoxious, good-natured rough housing." He chirped. "Well. Yes, one of them IS yellow with orange mane and a lightning bolt cutie mark that's on fire, but--" More chirping. "Yes, the other one IS yellow with light blue mane and a lightning bolt cutie mark, but--" "Fluttershy, he just described the three main Wonderbolts. It's them," Rarity told her. Pinkie Pie hopped up the trail. "But why would they do that?", Fluttershy wondered. "Hmm," Rarity pondered. "I'm not sure. But I plan on finding out. That gorgeous hunk of a pegasus is NOT getting away!" "Guys?" Pinkie said. She was at the very top of the trail. The unicorn and pegasus walked up next to her. Their mouths dropped. "Check out this view!", Pinkie exclaimed. Rarity got a dreamy, faraway look in her eyes. "Wow, it would be incredible to be up here with Soarin, gazing out to the mountains, his foreleg wrapped around my shoul--" "Rarity?", Fluttershy asked. "Hmm?" She noticed Pinkie and Fluttershy staring at her as if she'd lost it. Then Pinkie happily bounced down the trail. "Oh," Rarity reddened. "Sorry...Besides, he and Dashy are a couple now." "I don't remember her saying that. Or him saying that," Fluttershy commented. "Well, it's pretty obvious. They're ALWAYS together...That is, except for right now, of course." "I hope we'll find him soon." Fluttershy saw the squirrel again. "Oh, excuse me, Mr. Squirrel? Do you know which way they went after Spitfire and Misty Fly. Um." The squirrel shook his head, then chirped. "Oh. Well, thank you for your help." The squirrel hopped away. "What did he say?", asked Rarity. "He said he went to see another pegasus who was calling for Soarin. He said she had rainbow-colored mane with a sonic rainboom cutie mark." That brought a tear to Rarity's eye. "Dashy." "Yes. And by the time he got back, they were all gone." "Well, then I guess we'll have to find them ourselves."
