Gilda smirked over toward Rainbow. "So, Dash, got any new moves in your tricktionary, or are you one hundred percent old school?"

"New moves?" Rainbow shot up. "Heh, sit back G, this is gonna take a while."

"Hey Pinkie, c'mere." Gilda wasn't watching Dash's moves.

Pinkie hovered closer on her candycopter. "Yeah?"

"Don't you know how to take get lost for an answer? Dash doesn't need to hang with a dweeb like you now that I'm around. You're dorkin' up the skies, Stinkie Pie, so make like a bee and buzz off!" With that, she grabbed on to the rotor, setting the candycopter into a spin and letting it go. It crashed down with Pinkie screaming the whole way.

A rainbow blur shot past Gilda. 

Rainbow Dash swooped in, catching Pinkie just before she crashed into the ground. She set her friend down safely just as the candycopter crashed nearby.

True to form, Dash didn't hesitate. She rocketed back up to the cloud where Gilda watched. "What was that? You almost killed her!"

Gilda looked down where Rainbow was pointing, where Pinkie stood on the ground below. "Dash, come on. I didn't mean it like that. I was just tired of dealing with her lameness, okay?"

"Well, maybe I'm tired of dealing with your lameness! You should know I pay attention to everything when I'm flying. How else could I have ever passed flight school?"

Gilda's face scrunched up. "But you didn't pass–"

"I passed until I quit!" Rainbow stomped on the cloud; part of it disintegrated. "You know what, Gilda, you can just go back home right now! I don't think I need you around here anymore."

Gilda raised a claw up, but let it slowly drop down. Her face flashed through a dozen emotions before settling on a simmering glare. "Fine!" She took off, flying away into the distance.

"Wow, Rainbow Dash, I didn't want to break up your friendship with Gilda," Pinkie said as Rainbow came back down next to her.

"You didn't." Rainbow glared in the direction her old friend had flown. "Gilda broke up the friendship when she attacked you." She smiled again. "Now come on, we've still got a lot of pranking to do, right?"
