Zoom here! Zoom there! All you could see up in the sky that day were a confusing swirly mess of rainbows that can cause a headache.

"Dash! Quit hogging the sky! Others wanna fly too you know!" Heather Feather whined, stomping her hoof on the ground. The mass of rainbows disappeared as Dash stopped and smirked. "Uh, yeah, I know, Heather Shredder. I just broke a new record!", Rainbow Dash beamed,doing a flip. Heather rolled her eyes. "What kind of crazy record will that be, Dash?" "Cleared the sky in... How many seconds, Pinkie?" Rainbow asked, glancing at the pink mare. "You're pathetic. You say you broke a record but don't even know how many seconds you... did whatever it was you were doing." Heather told her, laughing. "Well I was just clearing the sky seeing if I broke my perfect 10 second on the dot one. I feel that I did. That's how awesome I am!" Rainbow laughed, doing a twirl in the air. "Sorry to burst your balloon Dashie, you're time this time was... 10.2 seconds!" Pinkie squealed.

Rainbow Dash flew and sulked on a cloud she saved. "What?!" She cried. "Broke your record, huh Miss Awesome?" Heather chuckled, laughing with Pinkie Pie. "Not that you two can do any better!" Rainbow protested. "Are you just cranky because Tayla beat you in a--" Pinkie began, but got cut by RD. "Don't even say it Pinkie. Just Don't!" she said sharply. Heather soon broke into a fit of laughter, falling to the ground.

"Haha! Oh yeaaaah! Yesterday, Tayla beat... beat you in a... in a race! The best flyer in a Equestria beten by a... by the best actress! ha ha ha ha!" Heather said between laughs, teary eyed. Rainbow started fuming. "Sh-shut up!" She cried, face turning red. "A c-cloud got in my f-face, okay?!" Rainbow cried, which made Heather laugh even more. "A CLOUD?! HAHAHAHAHA!!!" Pinkie exclaimed, laughing so hard she started hiccuping.

Rainbow buried her face in the cloud. "Quit it!" She yelled. "Howdy y'all! Whatcha laughin' about? And RD, I heard Tay beat ya in some race yesterday!" Applejack asked, arriving that moment, actually starting to chuckle. "Thats exactly what we're laughing about Applejack!" Heather cried, laughing. Applejack put on a shocked expression. "Wait a minute! Y'all mean that gossip I've been hearin's all true, Rainbow?!" AJ asked Rainbow, who just frowned at her. "Ya think?" She replied, burying her head in the cloud again. Applejack started snickering at the cyan pegasus. "Really Dashie? Y'all got beaten by such a girly-mare like Tayla? Well, doesn't sound much like ya, RD! What happened?!" Applejack laughed. "I HIT A CLOUD, YOU HAPPY?!" Rainbow yelled, her face still hidden. Applejack rolled her eyes. "Ya know you can't lie to me RD. I can read ya like a book!" Applejack answered. "Ha ha. You read books." Rainbow replied. (A/N: Simpsons reference!)

"Just accept ya lost Dash." Applejack told her coolly. "I... I really hit a cloud! Ugh, whatever!" Rainbow replied, obviously irritated, and zoomed away.

"That mare should really learn how ta accept defeat." Applejack commented. "Ahem, look who's talking..." Heather mumbled. "What'd y'all say?!" AJ growled. "Nothing! Uh, I said, we should go apologize to Rainbow Dash." Heather responded quickly. "We?" Applejack told her flatly. Heather and Pinkie looked at each other. "Fine. We." Heather replied, reffering to her and Pinkie.

Heather Feather flew up to Rainbow Dash's cloud mansion, with Pinkie Pie floating up with balloons.

"Daaaaaaashie? DAAAAAAAASHIE!!! We're sorry for constantly making fun of youuuu!!!" Pinkie shouted, landing on Rainbow's porch. "Dash? Daaash? Rainbow Dash? I know you might be mad at us, but c'mon, we're sorry!" Heather called out, knocking on the door, but when she knocked, it made the door creak slightly open. "Doesn't Dash know how to lock her door?" Heather told herself. "Pinkie, c'mon, let's go in and look for Rainbow." Heather told Pinkie.

Pinkie and Heather looked everywhere: kitchen, bathroom, living room, dining room... "Of course, we haven't checked Rainbows room yet!" Pinkie said, and once she did, they ran to Rainbow Dash's room. It wasn't locked, and it was empty. "No Rainbow?" Heather said. "Dashie? Dashie? Dashie? No Dashie." Pinkie concluded, looking under everything. "Look, one of her trophies fell and broke on the floor. What happened?" Heather wondered.

"We should search the WHOOOLE of Ponyville!" Pinkie Pie told Heather worriedly. "Probably Dash needs some space. You know, some time alone. I think she'll show up when she feels like it; you know her. Now come on, I think we need to get going." Heather told Pinkie, and they exit Rainbow Dash's house, closing the door behind them.

On their way to Sweet Apple Acres, sort of hoping Rainbow Dash will be there hanging out with AJ, they

bump into Princess Amy just at the entrance. "Girls! Have you seen Applejack?" Amy asked worriedly. "Earlier we did just in front of Sugarcube Corner. We were also with Rainbow, but apparantly, Rainbow's not in her house." Heather explained. "See, I ordered apples from AJ. She told me we'll meet in the market, but she wasn't there. I checked here in Sweet Apple Acres, she wasn't here too. Apple Bloom just gave me the apples I ordered here instead, but I still went on and looked for AJ. I looked everywere in Ponyville, and I still couldn't find her! I checked and looked if she was here again, but still no!" Amy explained. "You didn't see Rainbow in there?" Heather asked, but Amy shook her head.

"What do you think happened to them, Pinkie?"

No answer.

"Hey, where'd Pinkie go? Wasn't she just with you?" Amy asked. "Yes. I would want to think that she just wandered off as usual, but not when she knows that we're looking for Rainbow!" Heather explained.

They heard the sound of galloping heading over to them. It was Lily Blossom, who looked really devastated.

"Um, g-girls? Have y-you seen Fluttershy? I'm really worried!" Lily cried.

Amy and Heather glanced at each other.

"Oh no."
