Rainbow Dash and Rarity

Rainbow Dash was gliding effortlessly through the clouds, bursting them into oblivion as her blue body smashed into them. She loved having the wind in her face loved the speed, the adrenaline, of flying as fast as she could. Rainbow flapped her wings and she set down on one of the few remaining clouds in the sky. It was a very large cloud, ‘way too big to have accumulated by itself’, Rainbow thought. As she looked over the whole cloud, a sight stood before her that defied all laws. A black earth pony stood looking back at her.

“So little blue bird. You love the clouds hunh?” The colt seemed to be bleeding around his eyes and it took Rainbow Dash a few seconds to process the words as the sight was so odd to her.

“Well I am…” He slammed his hoof down with a crash and thunder bolts shocked Dash and his voice seemed to boom around her.

“Quiet, whelp!” He started to gallop at her and wings burst forth from his back with sickening cracks and sprays of blood. He came closer and closer at full speed Rainbow didn't understand what was going on and tried to move her hooves but found herself unable, felt that they were too heavy. She looked up and he seemed to collide with her and she felt…nothing. No wind, no pain, Rainbow opened her eyes and there she was, sitting on a much smaller cloud.

Rarity zipped about her workshop. Her newest design slowly but surely coming to light. It was a white dress like blouse that ended at the flank, red lace adorned the bottom to keep ones stomach covered. The midline was outlined in stunning blue sapphires extending out to cover the shoulders and flank while the red lace had holes where some gem or other was to be placed. Rarity stood eyeing over her creation and wondering what gemstone might adorn the bottom when the obvious realization hit her mind like a slap to the face.

"Rubies!" Rarity rushed over to her large chest of rubies, her mind rushing with thoughts of what next to do with her outfit. Out of reflex she levitated the box open and tried to bring the rubies into view so she could pick the right ones, but her magic picked up nothing. She could feel the nothingness in her magicks grip and she grew slightly ill.

"I just filled this thing..." as she checked the box nigh in horror a small gem twinkled in her periphery. "Hunh, I don't ever..." she noticed a large line of rubies leading up stairs and brushed the whole thing off as Sweetie Belle likely messing about in her things, again. Rarity levitated each ruby one by one as she ascended the stair case. The line lead straight into her room and she closed her eyes and called, "Sweetie Belle, you really should..." as her eyes opened her gaze met a startling thing.

Her whole room had been swept clean of everything, save a strange symbol made of the gems that took up the majority of the floor. "Well, this is odd. Oh well, I'll have to find out what she did with my things another time, right now I need to create!" she took the whole lot in with her magic and made her way down the stairs, dispensing the majority back into the chest and taking with her as much as she needed. The Creation Room's door was closed, but Rarity thought that Sweetie Belle must have had some crazy idea going on with the Crusaders and pushed the door open without another thought.

"Now Sweetie...Belle?" Her Creation Room laid barren, just as her bed room had. Even the window had been replaced with brick and mortar. All was gone save a few candles that burned brightly in the room, illuminating a black colt.

"Oh miss Rarity, how could you mistake somepony like me for your dear little sister?" Rarity was taken aback that the colt knew her or her sister as she had never seen him before, she didn't even know any black colts in town. Before she retorted to the statement she posed a question that she had been born from her seeing of his physical appearance

"Where are your eyes?" The candles burst forth with flame and the door behind her slammed shut, shoving her into the room. The fire engulfed her, searing every inch of her. She screamed in pain and the colt slowly went over to her and as she tried to run he slammed her onto the wall, restricting her windpipe.

"You'll not die until I say you can!" Rarity gasped for air and the room returned to its previous state. Nothing moved, the window had returned, and there were no signs of any of the happenings that had gone on. Sweetie Belle threw open the door.

"What's wrong sis!?" She shouted the question as she burst through the door, panting heavily.

Rarity coughed and said, "I don't know"
