The smell of Cakes, Muffins and more cakes hit Rainbow Dash's nose like a cake shop. In fact we are in a cake shop. Sugar Cube Conner to be exact. All those beautiful smells of cinnamon, ginger, mint and other sugary smells that would put any pony or a certain dull yellowed rabbit with brown coverings or markings and a small bow on her ear would make their over hyperactivity radar go to maximum over drive!! Too much? Okay let's just say the main room of Sugar Cube Corner smelt really good:
“Yes my dear, it's right here.” Mrs Cake says hoofing the cake box to Rainbow Dash.
“Thanks Mrs. Cake” Rainbow Dash says hoofing Mrs Cake 10 bits. Did you know Mrs. Cake's first name is Cup? That's right “Mrs. Cup Cake.
“Oh you're welcome deary.” Mrs Cake replied and put the bits into the till.
Rainbow Dash was holding the cake box and said to herself: “This is going to be SO AWESOME !! She says that looking so happy. “This Heartwarming day will be more awesome then last year”.
Gallop Crush went into Fan-Girl mode as he stared at the Blue Pegasus in disbelief. Her month and eyes was wide open and she was unable to speak.
The world around her seem to be like it was frozen in time when she saw her. A few moments later she finally had the guts to ask Rainbow Dash one of the biggest questions of her life!!
“Um are you Rainbow Dash? Gallop she said with a lot nerves.
Rainbow Dash looked around to see who had spoken and she then sees a Grey Body and Red Maned filly.
“The one and only.” She said proud of herself.
“Wow I've always wanted to meet you.” She said with a big smile on her face”.
“That's nice kid. Sorry but I'm in a hurry right now. Nice meeting you. I'll catch you later, Kay?” Rainbow Dash said in a rush.
“Oh. Okay. Gallop said looking disappointed. I hope to see you again soon”. But after she said that Rainbow Dash was already gone.
Applejack however managed to catch Rainbow before she took to the skies.
“WAIT UP RAINBOW!, I need to talk to you” Applejack said as he ran after Rainbow Dash.
“Applejack? What do you need?” Rainbow Dash asked.
“Well it's about that Filly you just met.” Applejack answered.
“What about her?” Rainbow Dash asked puzzled.
“I know you're settin' up the Heartwarming party and all but I was just hoping...”
“Spit it out Applejack!! Can't you see I'm in a hurry ?!” Rainbow Dash said looking annoyed.
“Well this here filly saved Apple Bloom's life and I was hoping if you can invite her to the party?” Applejack was looking hopeful as she could at Rainbow dash.
“SHE DID WHATTTTTTT?!” Rainbow Dash could not believe what she was hearing.
“ARE YOU PULLING MY HOOVES APPLEJACK?!” Rainbow Dash says looking angry.
“No I'm not Rainbow.” Applejack said looking crestfallen.
Rainbow Dash looked into Applejack eyes. She could tell she wasn't lying and then she felt ashamed for what she just said.
“I'm sorry Applejack. I know that you don't lie.” Rainbow Dash says looking sad and ashamed.
“It's fine Rainbow.” Applejack said.
“Yeah she can come and I would like to thank her pony to pony. She'll be my guest of honour” Rainbow Dash said still looked ashamed.
“Don't worry about it Rainbow.” Applejack said reading Rainbow's mind.
“Need a helping hoof Rainbow?” Applejack asked.
“That would be great AJ!! There's still lots to do.... Thanks Applejack” Rainbow Dash said feeling better.
“Ah Don't mention it.” Applejack replied back.
Meanwhile back at Castle of Friendship. Twilight Sparkle and Spike were getting the plans up for Heartwarming day.
Twilight yawned.
“Wow I am sleepy” She said.
“Spike here is 15 bits for you.” Twilight says hoofing the bit to Spike.
Spike looked confused.
“What's this for Twilight?”
“It's for you to get your ice cream Spike and 3 days off.” Twilight says.
“Oh thank you Twilight” Spike says as he zoomed to Twilight to give her a really big hug.
“I'll be with Rarity if you need me. Okay Twilight?” Spike says as he walked off.
Twilight smiled. She waved at her personal assistant and he of course waved back. Now the thing with Spike is he's got a huge crush on Rarity. So what will Twilight be thinking if he's off to the Carousel Boutique with Rarity? Hopefully clean thoughts and nothing …. You know? Yes. What? Anywhoooo:
Twilight went to her bedroom, yawning. She had a feeling that she had forgotten something. But could not think what it was. She got into bed and put the covers over her as it was a bit cold and closed her eyes.
She started to dream.
Winter clouds started to cover Ponyville and looked like snow was on it's way. There were ponies enjoying the day. But then It started to get cold, very cold. It started to snow hard. The cold wind started to howl and it looked like it was going to be a blizzard. The ponies were then starting to feel it's harsh temperatures. (And no I don't mean Miss. Harshwhinny) Twilight wasn't worried as she was wrapping up warm and every pony knew about the snow storm as it was on the radio. All the ponies start to run back to their houses.
By no time at all of Ponyville was covered in snow and it was thick and deep. No pony should have been out in the storm in the first place. Winter has come at last and this time not started by Rainbow Dash.
She continued to walk down the path to Sweet Apple Acres and she then couldn't believe her eyes.
Applejack, Big Mac and Apple Bloom were in panic.
“GET THE ANIMALS QUICK!!” Big Mac says.
“WHAT YOU THINK I AM TRYIN' TO DO?!” Applejack said shouting to Big Macintosh. Apple Bloom was also trying to help Applejack the best she could at herding the animals together but she was struggling. Because she's not as good as her pet dog Winona.
“GET THE SHOVEL BIG MAC” Applejack calls to Big Mac.
“I AM APPLEJACK!! KEEP YOUR MANE ON !!” Big Mac said in frustration.
“WHY DIDN'T WE SEE THIS COMING?!” “WHY DID NOPONY TELL US ABOUT THIS STORM?!” Applejack said shouting.
Applejack looked around and then she sees Twilight and then galloped up to her.
“THIS IS YOUR FAULT TWILIGHT, YOU'RE THE PONY WHO GIVES WARMINGS ON THINGS AROUND PONYVILLE!” Applejack said with anger.
“I THOUGHT YOU WERE MY FRIEND?! SOME FRIEND YOU ARE!!” Applejack.
Twilight started to cry as she didn't know what to tell her frustrated cow pony friend.
“I'm sorry!! I'm so sorry!! I'm sorry Applejack!! I didn't mean for any of this to happen!!” Twilight said crying.
BEEP, BEEP, BEEP, BEEP, BEEP
The Alarm sounded:
“What's that noise?” Twilight asked herself.
“GET OUT OF MY SIGHT NOW TWILIGHT!!” Applejack said looking mean.
BEEP, BEEP, BEEP, BEEP, BEEP
“NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!” Twilight said as she woke straight up.
She started to pant and then she started crying. “This is just a nightmare!! It was just a nightmare !!” She said and then she started to panic.
“OH NO!! I DIDN'T TELL APPLEJACK ABOUT THE SNOW STORM!!” she realised.
Twilight got out of bed quickly and got dressed in her winter clothes and then ran out of the room.
“WHAT TO DO!! WHAT DO TO!!” She said panicking.
She left the Castle of Friendship and then she took off flying. “She's going to hate me. She going to hate me”. She kept thinking.
What bad thoughts Twilight had in her head right now. She must have known what Princess Luna had told Apple Bloom when she had on going nightmares: “Sometimes we can worry about a thing so much, the fear can make us feel we're trapped in a nightmare”.
Apparently it just escaped her mind. So then within five minutes she landed by the gate of Sweet Apple Acres. She Knocked and she knocked. Big Mac came to the door.
“I need to speak to Applejack quick!!” Twilight says in a panic.
“She's not here Twillight. She phoned two hours ago saying that she's helpin' Rainbow Dash with the Heartwarming party” Big Mac answered.
Twilight took off again and back to Ponyville. She scanned the area and then she sees Applejack with Rainbow Dash. Then she flew down fast and then landed.
“APPLEJACK!! I'M SORRY!! I'M SORRY” Twilight said. Then was crying.
“Now Now Sugar Cube. Settle down. What wrong?” Applejack said looking concerned.
“I forgot to tell you about the snow storm. I feel like a bad friend to you. I woke up to hear a radio announcement on Ponyville World Service to say that a snow storm was on it's way to Ponyville. I was meant to tell you when I came to help you when that tree branch was blocking the path at Sweet Apple Acres but it just slipped my mind. Please Applejack. I'm so sorry. Please don't hate me!!” Twilight said looking sad.
“Twilight I don't hate you. You're my friend and a good friend. You just forgot something that's all. it can happen to any pony. Please don't cry.” Applejack said to her as she came up to her and gave her a hug.
Twilight smiled as she wiped away her tears.
“Well um is everything going to schedule? Twilight then said cheered up.
“Now that's the Twilight I know.” Rainbow Dash said looking happy. “And we all know what happened last time. Right?”
Twilight blushed. Yes something like this happened before and all her friends were by her side. Twilight couldn't find a friendship problem so she then MADE a friendship problem which involved her lovely miss. Smarty Pants doll. Which Big McIntosh now happily owns. Oops!! Did I say too much Big Mac?
“Eeup!!” Big Mac's telling us in an angry sort of voice.
Twilight then remembered what Pinkie Pie said. And that was: “Into an enormously huge entire-town-in-total-chaos Princess-has-to-come-and-save-the-day problem.”
Only Pinkie Pie. Only Pinkie Pie. she said twice with a laugh.
“Yes everything's all going to plan. With one thing added.” Applejack said confidently.
“One thing?” Twilight asked.
“Yes Twilight. Please don't be mad. That filly you met? The one when you helped me with the tree? Well that filly saved Apple Boom's life the night before.
“She did what? Right I need to invite her to the party, she needs to be honoured.” Twilight says.
“Already been taken care of.” Rainbow Dash replied.
“Oh that's great!! Well done Rainbow. You're doing a great job. Keep up the good work.” Twilight said.
“Yes Ma'am!!” Rainbow Dash says with a smile.
“Rainbow you're not at the Wonderbolt Academy as you are on holiday, remember?” Twilight said smiling.
Rainbow Dash blushed and went back to work.
“Applejack, we need something to for this filly... Um whats her name?” Twilight said and then asked.
“Oh. Her name's Gallop Crush.” Applejack answered.
“Gallop Crush. Gallop Crush. Gallop Crush. That name rings a bell. But I can't think of it. We've got no time. We need to do something for this Gallop Crush.” Twilight said determined to get this party started.
“Yeah I'll think of something.” Applejack said.
“Good good. I'd better be off Applejack” Twilight says as she started to run.
“Where you going?!” Applejack called out to Twilight.
“RESEARCH!! I NEED TO RESEARCH!!” Twilight called back.
Twilight got back to Castle of Friendship and went into the library and got a book with her magic.
She opened the book with of course, her magic.
“A, B C, D. Ah here it is!! Dark Dash.” Twilight said to herself.
Twilight started to read:
“YES YES YES I thought so!! I knew I heard of that name before!! I was right.
She continue to read. Dark Dash was never captured and the whereabouts is still unknown. It is also not known if Dark Dash is a Mare or a Colt.
