??? POV
"Everything's going as planned, sir." My voice was shaky. I gripped onto the phone tighter, afraid of what he was going to say.
"Good. Have you done it yet?" The voice on the other side was deep and hoarse.
"I plan to do so," I paused, sucking in a breath. "When will you return?"
"Soon enough, boy. Do it. Now or later, I don't care. Just make sure it happens."
"Ok." I agreed to his request.

Rainbow Dash's POV
"Your birthday's in a few more days, Dash!" Pinkie screeched into my ears as she bounced on her feet.
"So? It's not a big deal," I shrugged it off before correcting myself. "Well, it shouldn't be a big deal."
"Oh but it is," Rarity's simple smile turned into a grin. "And we plan to celebrate it. You are our friend and it is our job to embar- Nothing."
Applejack smirked at Rarity's slip, "Nice job, princess."
"S-Shut up! It just slipped; I couldn't help it!" I sighed and leaned on my hand.
I didn't want to deal with them today. Or any day, really.
"Don't argue. There is no true need to argue." Twilight decided to step in. I smiled slightly. Fluttershy was being silent once again. I glanced at her and raised an eyebrow. When she looked away, I stood up and walked over to her while the others were busy.
"You ok?" I watched as she averted her eyes.
"I am," Came the simple reply.
"You don't seem like it and to be honest, I'm kinda worried."
"Angel broke his arm a couple days ago." Angel was her little brother. He was a year younger than Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle, Apple Bloom, and Spike. Pinkie Pie had the oldest sibling: Bubble Berry.
Bubble Berry was a complete copy of Pinkie Pie. The only difference, personality wise, is that he's way more flirty. I'm still like twenty percent sure Twilight likes him.
"Oh. Sorry to hear that. Do you want me to come over or anything to help?" I replied. I didn't have anything to do and I felt like being nice. Soarin hasn't talked to me in almost four days. I'm worried about him, but I don't want to be the clingy type.
"It's ok. I can handle it. Thank you for the offer though."
~~~~~
I stared at the wall blankly. Scootaloo was out hanging with Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle. I literally had nothing to do. Soarin wouldn't text or call back and Twilight, Pinkie, Applejack, and Rarity were either studying or working on a project. Fluttershy was taking care of her brother.
