 Rainbow woke up very early the next morning to get ready with Rarity for the show. She brushed her teeth, brushed her hair, and ate breakfast. She was off to Rarity's house.

She zipped through the air with excitement until she got there and almost crashed into Rarity's house.

"Come in, come in" said Rarity  when she heard a loud BANG "here, try this on" as she handed Rainbow the uniform.

"I, look, AWSOME" yelled Rainbow, after trying on the uniform. 

"Now it's time for makeup"  chimed Rarity.

When Rarity finished Rainbow had to admit that she looked cool and pretty, she had red, green, and yellow striped lightning bolts curved around the top parts of her eyes, each cut off with navy blue lightning bolts on the edge.

"Well, I better be off to Fluttershy's" said Rainbow.






"H-O-R-S-E, H-O-R-S-E, so many horses" sang Fluttershy.

"Awesome" said Rainbow as she listened to Fluttershy and her birds.

"Well it's 6 O'clock, we better get going" said Rainbow.





"I'm so proud of you, do ya' think you'll ace it" said AJ as she patted Rainbow on the head.

"Yeah, but I'm still kinda nervous" said Rainbow.

"Then your nervesited" said Pinkie as she jumped up and down.

Spitfire then walked up and interrupted, "We need you now Dashie, time for the show".

"See you guys later, I guess" Rainbow whimpered.

She had gone so fast that the wind blew her hair back like that of a Wonderbolt.

After the show the show they tried to fix Rainbow's hair.

"Not even my expertise can get it flat again" whined Rarity worridly. 

"That's OK, I actually kinda like it" said Rainbow happily.

"Well, now we have no choice but to trim it" said Rarity.

"Well ya' did great out there Rainbow" said AJ, patting Rainbow on the head once more.

"Well, me and Rarity better get going" said Rainbow anxiously.

"How short do you want it" asked Rarity.

"However short it should be" replied Rainbow.





"Done" chimed Rarity.

"Thanks" said Rainbow as she flew out the door.





It was already midnight when Rainbow got home, so she grabbed a midnight snack and went strait to bed. She then had a nightmare.





"Oh, Rainbow Dash, Rainbow Dash" said the mysterious voice in her dream.

"Who are you, show yourself" said Rainbow angrily.

"Don't worry, I'm here to save you "

"From what"

"Yourself"

"Huh, how"

"LIKE THIS" the voice said in a more demonic tone.

A light filled the empty room of her dream.





Rainbow sprung out of bed and looked at the clock, it was only three o'clock in the morning.
