"StarSwirl the Bearded?!" Twilight asked, as they left for Celestia later that day.
"I thought he was dead," Spike added.
"The StarSwirl the Bearded Wing, of course," Celestia chuckled. "Now, if you don't mind - I'm expecting MORE mail."
Twilight and Spike left her in peace at once.
----
"Which is it? Which is it?!" Twilight asked, as she frantically searched the shelves for a certain scroll.
Spike asked, "Wasn't it on the third shelf to the left?"
Twilight Sparkle leapt for the third isle, and after fifteen minutes of hard searching, shouted, "That's it!" She grabbed the scroll, and read its contents out loud. "What's the chant?"
It wasn't long before she found it.
"Through pain, through death, through sorrow and strife -
Bring this pony back to life!"
Her words echoed around the room, as a green laser came from the roof, towards Rainbow Dash's body.
Several green sparks flew out of the dead pegasus like fireworks, and soon the crackling got so loud, there was an explosion.
Twilight and Spike shielded their eyes from the blinding light. The dazzling light was quite dazzling. (lol XD)
Rainbow's body was turned vertically, and the green light sort of entered it.
Her eyes were opened, and flashed white, and her hooves were raised.
Even though she was greatly surprised, she never let the instruction step "Repeat a chant when eyes are opened" slip from her mind.
"Princess Celestia, in the name of your royalty,
I bring back the pony - the element of loyalty!"
The laser struck Rainbow Dash once more, and en-circled around her, swirling like green clouds of mist. At last, they were sucked into her, and she collapsed to the ground, the light dying out.
"Rainbow Dash!" Twilight cried out, as she ran to her friend.
"T-Twilight?" Rainbow asked.
"It's me - Twilight Sparkle," the lavender unicorn smiled, sniffing back tears of joy.
"What - did I - who -" Rainbow Dash stammered. "What happened?"
"You were brought back to life," Twilight replied.
"Brought back to life?! I didn't die! Nopony can kill me!" Rainbow Dash protested. "I'm Rainbow Dash!"
"Pinkamena Diane Pie did," Twilight answered. "I'm sorry for saying these things. Come on, let's go to Ponyville and tell everypony the good news! I can't wait!"
She grabbed Rainbow Dash by the hoof, and rushed towards Ponyville.
-----
"Girls, girls!" Twilight cried out, as she bashed into her own library.
"Rainbow Dash!" Rarity and AppleJack cried out.
Pinkie Pie shyed away in the corner, the guilt weighing down her normal cheerfulness. Even her mane was deflated.
Fluttershy, being scarred for life, just trembled, and stared on, unaware of what was happening.
Rarity and AppleJack forced Rainbow Dash into a hug.
"Fluttershy, darling," Rarity called out. "Fluttershy? Fluttershy!"
Fluttershy's eyes shot open. She gasped and cried out, "Stay away! I'm only a little pony! I don't --"
"It's okay, Fluttershy," Twilight smiled. "Rainbow Dash is fine." She pointed a hoof at Rainbow Dash, who was looking very very confused indeed.
Fluttershy squealed, "Rainbow Dash! Oh my..um...are you okay?"
She joined in the hug, Squeeing adorably, and hugging affectionately.
Twilight shot a quick saucy glance at Pinkie - I mean, at Pinkamena Diane Pie. The latter turned away from her, biting her hooves.
Normal Pinkie Pie would've been laughing and crying at the same time, hugging Rainbow and never letting go, as well as screaming and running for her life, due to Rainbow being a "zombie". But it was not like that. Pinkie Pie cuddled in the corner, trying not to think of the horrible even that would not escape her mind.
Twilight seated herself beside her. "Aww..Pinkie --" she said.
"Stay away," Pinkie muttered. "I'm a serial killer! A terrorist! A -- ZOMBIE!!!"
"But you won't do it again," Twilight answered. "Right?"
"Well.." Pinkie Pie said. She looked up at Twilight, asking, "What if I do? I can't control my crazy insanity moments! I'm doomed to be an animal for ever! FFffooorreeevveerr!!!"
"Pinkie," Twilight said. She smiled, a slight glint of sadness in her eyes. "You're our friend. We know you won't --"
"So you forgive me?" Pinkie Pie asked.
"Of course, Pinkie," Twilight said. "After all, it wasn't your fault you were raised up so --"
"Allllrrriighhhtt!!!" Pinkie Pie cried out, lifting Twilight of the ground, and hugging her, standing on her two hind legs. She dropped Twilight on the ground, by demand of Rarity.
"..badly?" Twilight muttered, her head spinning, before falling on the floor, temporally stunned.
So all was well, and Equestria was the heart-warming loving country it once more. All except Rainbow Dash.
She killed me, Twilight said. Nopony kills ME!!! You like parties, huh, Pinkie? Well I'LL host you a party. I'll give you a party...in HELL.
