(The lights activate to reveal Applejack, Spitfire, Twilight Sparkle, Spike, Rarity and Fluttershy all standing around the area, talking to one another. Eventually, Apple Bloom, Scootaloo & Sweetie Belle walk on stage, accompanied by Braeburn, Big Macintosh.)

(Braeburn)

"Hey guys, what's goin' on?"

(Applejack)

"Braeburn! Have you seen Rainbow Dash anywhere?"

(Braeburn)

"Pegasus pony with a cyan coat and a rainbow mane and tail?"

(Applejack)

(Hopeful) "Yeah!"

(Braeburn)

"No."

(Rarity)

"What about you Macintosh?"

(Big Macintosh)

"Nope."

(Twilight Sparkle)

"Have you girls seen Rainbow Dash?"

(Sweetie Belle)

"No."

(Scootaloo)

"Nope."

(Apple Bloom)

(Shaking head) "Uh-uh."

(Spitfire)

"Oh! I'm really getting worried now! I tried to call Sugarcube Corner and I got no answer! Maybe something bad HAS happened to Rainbow Dash!"

(Spike)

"Spitfire! Calm down. She could still be with Pinkie Pie."

(Pinkie Pie suddenly runs in.)

(Big Macintosh)

"Pinkie Pie? What are ya doin' 'round these parts at this time?"

(Pinkie Pie)

"It's Dashie! We were trying to make cupcakes and she got hurt!"

(Everypony)

(in unison) "WHAT?!"

(Pinkie Pie)

"Yeah! I left Sugarcube Corner to get help. Mr. and Mrs. Cake are looking after her now."

(Fluttershy)

"Well, we must get to Rainbow Dash right away!"

(Pinkie Pie)

"Actually guys, that won't be necessary."

(Applejack)

"Why not?"

(Pinkie Pie)

"Ponyville Paramedics are on their way right now."

(Braeburn)

"We should go there regardless!"

(Suddenly, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna appear.)

(Princess Celestia)

"What on earth is going on here?"

(Spitfire)

"Princess Celestia! Rainbow Dash has been hurt in Sugarcube Corner and Soarin's been gone for nearly half an hour! We're really getting worried sick!"

(Princess Luna)

"Spitfire, calm down. When was the last time you saw Soarin and Rainbow Dash?"

(Spitfire)

"Um well, Rainbow Dash left about an hour ago to help Pinkie Pie with something and Soarin left half an hour ago because he thought something was wrong."

(Princess Celestia)

"Well chances are she'll still be there. We should head over right-."

(A tearful Soarin walks on stage, carrying a large object in a big white sheet stained with what looks like blood.)

(Spitfire)

"Soarin, where on earth have you been? We've been worried sick about you. For goodness sake, please don't-!"

(She then notices Soarin's teary face.)

"Soarin? Are you okay?"

(Soarin)

"Do I look okay right now?"

(Big Macintosh)

"No need for sarcasm."

(Scootaloo)

"What are you carrying?"

(Applejack)

"And where's Rainbow Dash?"

(Soarin)

"You don't want to know, but since you'd probably pester me until I show you. Braeburn, you might want to cover the fillies' eyes. This isn't gonna pretty for them."

(Braeburn just nods and places a hoof over Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle's eyes whilst Big Macintosh does the same for Scootaloo. Soarin then places the object down on the ground and removes the sheet. It reveals Rainbow Dash, with the same mutilations seen in the previous scene. Celestia, Luna, Rarity, Spike, Twilight Sparkle and Spitfire all gasp at the sight of Rainbow Dash. Big Macintosh, Braeburn, Fluttershy & Applejack all stand mouths agape.)

(Braeburn)

"OH MY STARS!"

(Spike)

"What on earth happened to Rainbow Dash?!"

(Soarin)

"I found her like that. She was alone when I arrived."

(Everypony turns to face Pinkie Pie, who's slowly tearing up.)

(Pinkie Pie)

"Don't look at me! The accident left her like that!"

(She finally breaks down.)

"Oh! It's all my fault! I should never have left Sugarcube Corner to get help! I should've stayed behind and helped her survive her injuries!"

(Scootaloo)

"What's going on? I wanna see this!"

(The 3 fillies escape the hooves of the colts shielding their eyes.)

(Braeburn)

"NO!"

(Big Macintosh)

"DON'T LOOK!"

(But it's too late. Upon seeing Rainbow Dash's corpse, their faces drop.)

(Sweetie Belle)

"Is-is that?"

(Soarin)

"I told you it wasn't going to be pretty."

(Scootaloo walks forward before falling to her knees at Rainbow Dash's body.)

(Scootaloo)

"Why? WHY DID YOU HAVE TO DIE ON US DASHIE?!"

(Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle walk up to Scootaloo and hug her. Fluttershy then starts crying also. Spike notices this and hugs her which she tearfully returns.)

(Applejack)

"That can't. That can't be Rainbow Dash!"

(Soarin)

"Believe me, it is."

(With Scootaloo, Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie crying in the background and with the funeral march playing, Soarin slowly walks up to Dashie's corpse. He closes her eyes (which were open the whole time after her death) and then places the sheet over her body. Afterwards, he breaks down also. Braeburn then walks up.)

(Braeburn)

"Soarin, my friend, it's okay. I understand."

(Braeburn places a hoof around the back of Soarin's neck before pulling him into a hug. Spitfire then walks up and joins Braeburn hugging Soarin. The other ponies close their eyes and tilt their heads in respect. Scootaloo is still being hugged by Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle and Spike is still hugging Fluttershy. After a few seconds of this, the lights and music slowly fade out.)
