-Crystalmoon's POV-

Crystalmoon flew as fast as she could to the Rainbow Factory which was on the other side of Cloudsdale. She took a quick breath before flying off again. 7:55 A.M. She saw the factory in distance. Strangely, it had no windows and looked as if it were cut off from society on purpose. Crystalmoon saw Rainbow Dash at the entrance. Crystalmoon flew to her.

"Ah! You came!" Rainbow Dash greeted.

"Of course I did!" Crystalmoon said.

"Alright. Well for starters, could you help the other pegasi with the ingredients to make the rainbows." Rainbow Dash pointed to a group of pegasi lifting up crates. Strangely large and sturdy crates.

"Oh, okay." Crystalmoon said. She was a little disappointed not to be making rainbows, but she didn't show it.

"I'll have my manager check on you later."

"Okay."

"Oh! And here's your uniform!"

*Time Skip*

Crystalmoon's shift from lifting crates was almost over. She was lucky to have two other ponies with her whom she made friends with. A shy Pegasus named Fluttershy from Ponyville, and one of her old life-long friends, a dark blue stallion with silver hair, and a cutie mark of a metal feather, Ironwings.

"I'm so glad there's a few other ponies to help me with these crate," FLuttershy said.

"Yeah. There weren't kidding about labor!" Crystalmoon grunted as she lifted the crate with the other two Pegasi.

"Yup. Say, Fluttershy, have you ever made a rainbow in the factory?" Ironwings asked.

"No. I've never been inside actually. Rainbow Dash, one of my best friends, said I couldn't handle it."

"Couldn't handle it?" Crystalmoon.

"She's probably right. I can't handle giant stuff like that." Fluttershy said.

"Like what?" Ironwings asked.

"I don't know. She said it's a lot of work." Fluttershy replied. *She doesn't know. I couldn't do that to such an INNOCENT pony! :3 Or will I?-

"Yeah. Probably," Crystalmoon agreed.

"By the way, what's in these crate?" Ironwings asked.

"I'm not sure." Fluttershy answered.

"Whatever it is, they need a lot of it." Ironwings assumed.

"They only load up once every month. I don't work here, but Rainbow Dash in is my friend, and I'll do anything for her!" Fluttershy said.

For the next two weeks, Crystalmoon worked lifting the crates. She could have sworn that she heard a muffled voice and a thump or two, but she assumed it was the stuff in the crates moving around.
