Chapter Three: A Sneaky Trick







Rainbow Dash stared back at her reflection. “Okay, I think I’ve got this down, but if I don’t, I guess that’s fine, as I’m gonna scare the wits out of them anyways.” 

Rainbow Dash peeked downstairs, just to make sure Twilight was still busy, which she was, and went to the bedroom window. She opened the window, looked back one more time, and flew outside.

Rainbow Dash landed near the town hall. “Hmm… Who should I go scare first?”

“Rainbow Dash!”

She turned around to see an orange pegasus filly racing up to her.

“Oh, um, hi Scootaloo,” Rainbow Dash mentally kicked herself for not being more careful. Great, now I’ll have a shadow for the rest of today, unless Sweetie Belle or Applebloom want her… I’ll never get to prank anypony!

Rainbow Dash took a few paces forward, and sure enough, Scootaloo was right behind her.

“So, where have you been all day?” Scootaloo asked.

“Aw, you know here and there,” Rainbow Dash tried to sound casual, “I was over at the library helping Twilight earlier.

“Oh, really? What did ya help her with?” Scootaloo asked, curiously. “Oh, by the way, have you seen Spike? He was s’posed to help us set a few things up today, but we can’t find him anywhere.”

“Hmm… that’s odd, because Twilight can’t find Spike either,” Rainbow Dash replied, not really wanting to answer the first question.

“Yeah, that is odd. And you didn’t answer my—” 

A pair of fillies came running over. “Scootaloo! We found Spike! He was waiting at the tree house! He said he’s been there all day!”

“Oh, duh! Why wasn’t that the first place we looked?” Scootaloo face-hoofed.

“Come on, we’re wastin’ daylaht!” Applebloom said.

“Okay, coming!” Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo raced after her.

“Finally! Although it’s getting late…” Rainbow Dash thought for a moment. “Yeah, I could probably scare some pony real quick before I head back to the library.”

Rainbow Dash spotted a pair of fillies walking out of Sugercube Corner. She recognized them as Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon, the two fillies that bully Scootaloo and her friends all the time. “Perfect,” She laughed as she flew down.

“Oh, look,” Diamond Tiara whispered to Silver Spoon, “Looks like the flightless Blank-Flank tattled to her ‘body-guard’”

Silver Spoon snickered.

This made Rainbow Dash angry. “You’ll think twice before messing with Scootaloo again!”

“Ooh, whatcha gonna do?” Diamond Tiara taunted, “Turn us to stone with that fancy necklace of yours? Oh wait, you can’t, because then my daddy would hunt you down and make your life miserable!”

“You’re right, I can’t do that,” Rainbow Dash agreed. “But I can do this!”

Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon stared in shock as Rainbow Dash turned back into a Changeling.

“Eek! That’s a Changeling!” Diamond Tiara cried, “Let’s get out of here before it ponynaps us!”

She galloped away, Silver Spoon racing after her, and Rainbow Dash just cracked up.

“Best. Prank. EVER!” she caught her breath, changed back to the familiar cyan pegasus and flew back to the library.
