A/N: what will happen this chapter? Do you think it is going to get serious already? I don’t want to keep you waiting, on with the chapter!

Rainbow Dash woke up first. She drowsily looked at her lover who was still sound asleep in her hooves and she smiled. She kissed him softly on his forehead and nuzzled in closer to him. She sighed and closed her eyes and just let this calm moment soothe her. I want to go talk to Twilight today, she looked really upset last night and I want to see if I can help any. Kyle will need to stay hidden until this is all over so I guess I will be going alone, and he will be watching Strat. She smiled and then a few moments later got up quietly out of the bed. She stretched her legs and wings and then walked out of the room and over to Stratus’s room.

Rainbow Dash peered her head through the doorway and saw that Stratus was awake and looking around the room like he was thinking about something. Rainbow Dash walked in and picked him up “Hey little guy, what’s up?”

“Oh nothing, I was just thinking about what I want to do with dad when this is all over with. What are you doing?” Stratus said as Rainbow Dash put the little pegasus onto her back.

“I was going to go over to Twilight’s to talk about last night, do you want to come with me?” Rainbow Dash said to him.

“Sure, but won’t dad get sad when he finds that we aren’t here?” Stratus said to her.

Rainbow Dash walked out of his room and down the stairs. She stopped at the table and took out a sheet of paper and a quill. She wrote a quick note down and then smiled. “Nope, he will see this note and everything will be ok, let’s go.”

Rainbow Dash and Stratus left the house and began to walk towards the library. She saw a few griffons here and there and she did her best to avoid them. She made it to the library a few minutes later and opened the door and walked in.

Rainbow Dash saw Twilight going over a book and writing things down on a scroll. She walked up and Twilight looked up at her for a brief moment before going back to her work. “Twilight, how are you holding up?”

Twilight dropped her quill and looked at Rainbow Dash with a mixture of exhaustion and worry. “I don’t know Rainbow Dash, everything is falling apart around me and I am losing what little control I have. Kyle is looking pretty bad right now, the spell will be done in three days like it should, but the griffons here are searching houses now, they are not going to stop until they find him” she said as she shook her head.

“Ms. Twilight? Dad can do it, I know he can. I know you think he is a klutz, but he is smart too. He told me that he wouldn’t get in trouble anymore and he is going to do that, he wouldn’t say so if he didn’t mean it” Stratus said to Twilight from Rainbow Dash’s back.

“I know Strat; he is just in a lot of trouble right now that he shouldn’t be in. I am going to help him get out of trouble, and everything will be ok after that” the lavender mare said to the little pegasus with a smile. She then turned to RD “What do you want to talk about?”

“When Kyle and you were talking, you said that you made a lie so you would be able to use the spell. I know how to make it more effective, you have to pretend like you hate him when you do it. Doing that will reinforce what you said to them enough so they really believe that you want to do it” Rainbow Dash said to Twilight.

“That is a good idea, and that way they will leave afterwards and we can get him away to wait for him to wake up. Good idea RD” Twilight said to her with a smile.

Rainbow Dash looked over the stuff Twilight was working on. She saw a lot of stuff that didn’t make sense but she didn’t care, if it helped Kyle, then it was useful. “So how is the spell coming along?” Rainbow Dash said to the lavender unicorn.

“I have the spell down, now all I need to do is practice it. It will mimic a spell that deteriorates the body, and will last for only fifteen minutes. I learned of one more effect that could happen, and that was from me searching for them in an old book I have. If I use it before there is a large possibility that he will go into a state of complete mental and physical shutdown.”

“And that means?” Rainbow Dash asked in confusion.

“It means that Kyle would be the equivalent of dead only breathing. It is a better one than the first, but not by much. Let’s hope everything works out though so that doesn’t happen” Twilight said with reassurance.

Just then they heard the door open behind them and a griffon walked in and looked at them. They both turned around and saw Gilda standing near the door. “Well well well, look who it is? You sure pissed me off when you got away the second time, but I can forgive you for that.” Gilda then looked at the little pegasus on her back “Who is that? Don’t even tell me, is that your son?” the griffon said before letting out a laugh. “Now I don’t want to hurt you, your son would see it. Please be a good Dashie and tell me where you are hiding that little freak of yours, I promise that if you help us, you and your son will be ok” Gilda said to them.

Rainbow Dash looked at her with disgust “I am not going to tell you anything! As both he and I said before, you tried him under false charges and now you want to publicly execute him for coming home? I don’t even know why I was your friend anymore; you are the monster, not Kyle.” Rainbow Dash used one of her wings to cover Stratus to protect him.

“That is a shame, maybe he will come out when he finds out that we have his friend and her son, and he will come out from hiding” Gilda said before she took off like a rocket towards the cyan pegasus.

Twilight tried to hit the griffon with a paralyzing spell, but it missed her. She was too fast. She watched as Gilda landed and hit RD in the temple once and then took Stratus and her and flew out of the open door. “NONONONONONONO!!!” Twilight said before she teleported to Kyle’s house.

I was sitting in the house on the couch when Twilight teleported right in front of me. She looked even more stressed out now than before. OH COME ON!!! What do you want now!? Wait…..where are Dash and Stratus if you are here? “Twilight”

“Kyle, Gilda is one of the griffons here. Dash and Stratus came to talk to me about last night and she shown up a little while ago and she took them with her. She is using them as bait to lure you out. She said that if you come out they will be spared, but they want you soon! What are we going to do Kyle?”

I stood up and stomped my foot on the ground “Dammit, shit is falling apart!” I realized what I did and did my best to compose myself a little. I am going to explode! Why does everything bad happen before the solution could be reached! FFFFFFFFF- “Twilight, how goes the spell?”

“I memorized the spell, but I need to practice it. I don’t think you should do what I think you are planning” Twilight said to me.

“Twilight, come with me. And pretend that you hate me. I want you to use that spell even if you have to force yourself to do it. I don’t care what happens to me; I just want my family to be safe! Let’s go!” I said before I unlocked the door and walked outside.

Twilight followed me outside “What are we going to do?”

“Ok, I am going to go to the center of town and talk to them and try to reason, then I want you to come from wherever you want and I want you to talk to me like you hate me. Then I want you to fire the spell on me. Got it….good” I said before I took off towards the center of town. FUCK MY COUCH!

Twilight watched him fly away and she felt terrible “I am going to possibly kill my friend to save him and his family….shit.”
