(The stage is in total darkness aside from a light above a door in the Library. After a few seconds, Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash walk through.)

(Pinkie Pie)

"And so there was Mrs. Cake screaming 'Don't squeeze it too hard! You'll pull a muscle!' at Mr. Cake."

(Rainbow Dash laughs.)

(Rainbow Dash)

"That's a funny story Pinkie Pie, but why did you take me to The Library? Twilight and Spike would be asleep right now. Don't you think you're disturbing them?"

(Pinkie Pie)

"No. They've gone out somewhere. Besides, I brought you here for a suprise."

(Rainbow Dash)

"What's with all the darkness anyway? Where is that light switch?"

(She almost immediately finds it and upon flicking it, the lights turn on to reveal Applejack, Twilight Sparkle, Rarity, Fluttershy, Spike, Big Macintosh, Braeburn, The Cutie Mark Crusaders, Derpy Hooves, Zecora and Vinyl Scratch standing in the middle of The Library. Behind them are two giant presents.)

(Everypony)

"SUPRISE!"

(Rainbow Dash jumps at this whilst Pinkie Pie wears her trademark smile.)

(Pinkie Pie)

"So were you suprised Rainbow Dash? Huh? Huh?"

(Rainbow Dash)

"Suprised? Definately! Especially seeing all my friends here and-."

(She notices Gilda in the crowd, who looks rather guilty. Rainbow Dash's smile turns into a sour glare.)

(Pointing her out) "What's she doing here?"

(Everypony looks at Gilda and she walks forward to Rainbow Dash.)

(Gilda)

"Look, I just came back to Ponyville to apologize for my behaviour towards you and your friends. It was immature and selfish and I hope you can forgive me for it."

(Rainbow Dash)

"I'm sorry Gilda, actually I'm not sorry, but I don't see why I should-."

(Gilda)

(Interrupting her) "Please! All your other friends apologized! Please Rainbow Dash. That rude and bitter self was the old me. If you don't accept my apology now, you're refusing to apologize to the new kinder, light-hearted Gilda."

(Rainbow Dash thinks about this before deciding to accept it. Instead of speaking, she simply wraps her forearms around Gilda and pulls her into a hug. Gilda is shocked for a few seconds but eventually wraps her forearms around Rainbow Dash's back, returning the hug.)

(Pinkie Pie)

"Aww!"

(Braeburn)

"Well, ain't that just adorable?"

(Big Macintosh)

"Eeyup."

(Fluttershy)

"I'm just so happy that the two managed to sort out their differences and be friends with each other for who they are."

(Applejack)

"Now that tha' lil' problem's outta the way, we've somethin' to show ya, Rainbow Dash."

(Rainbow Dash perks up upon hearing her name. Gilda releases her from the hug and she walks toward Applejack.)

(Rainbow Dash)

"What is it?"

(Applejack)

"These."

(Applejack shows the two large presents to Rainbow Dash. The wrapping paper moves a little before ripping apart to reveal Spitfire and Soarin. Rainbow Dash just stands there speechless. Everypony just looks at her, waiting for a reaction. A concerned Scootaloo walks over to Rainbow Dash, waving her hoof in front of her face.)

(Scootaloo)

"Hello? Rainbow Dash?"

(Rainbow Dash)

(Starstruck) "Am I dreaming? Is that-?"

(Rarity)

"Yes Rainbow Dash. That's really the Wonderbolts."

(Rainbow Dash's face slowly turns into a smile before she screams in excitement, seeing her heroes standing before her, startling everypony in the room.)

(Rainbow Dash)

"Ohmygoshohmygoshohmygosh! Who told them to come here?! I simply must know!"

(Applejack)

"If ya really wanna know, I did. I called 'em up an' told 'em to-."

(Applejack is interrupted when Rainbow Dash pulls her into a tight hug.)

(Rainbow Dash)

"Thank you Applejack! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!"

(Applejack)

"Well, you're welcome sugarcube, but can ya please let me go? You're crushin' me!"

(Rainbow Dash lets Applejack go as Pinkie Pie walks up.)

(Pinkie Pie)

"Let's get this party started in here!"

(Everypony cheers at this. The lights go down for a scene change. When the lights come back on, everypony is talking amongst themselves, presumably later on in the party. Vinyl Scratch can be seen playing music. Rainbow Dash is talking to Applejack whilst Soarin is talking to Spitfire. The two constantly look back at each other as they speak to their partners but look away immediately afterwards. Spike walks up to Zecora.)

(Spike)

"Zecora, have you noticed something, unusual about Rainbow Dash since we revealed the Wonderbolts to her?"

(Zecora)

"It seems the Wonderbolts have made Rainbow Dash's happiness soar to Heaven above, besides I heard a rumour that her and Soarin are in love."

(Gilda walks up.)

(Gilda)

"Really? Rainbow Dash isn't into colts. Nor romance in general. I've known her since she was a filly."

(Zecora)

"Well, don't let your beliefs blind you, young griffin, for future events untold may cause fate to be re-written."

(Gilda)

"Whatever."

(She walks off. Pinkie Pie is talking to Derpy Hooves.)

(Pinkie Pie)

"Then I said to Iron Will 'Oh yeah? Well, if you don't like the timid Fluttershy, go and find another pony to train!' and then he just ran off and I never saw him again."

(Derpy)

"Hey Pinkie, does Soarin look funny to you?"

(Pinkie Pie)

"Yeah. But he's a Wonderbolt at a party with his biggest fan. Wouldn't you act funny if you were a suprise to your biggest fan?"

(Derpy)

"Yeah, but Soarin's acting all, nervous."

(Pinkie Pie)

"Yeah, I noticed Rainbow Dash acting the same. I guess she's just nervous at seeing Soarin."

(Derpy)

"Maybe."

(The lights dim and a spotlight shines on Applejack and Rainbow Dash.)

(Applejack)

"Just go up an' tell Soarin you love him."

(Rainbow Dash)

"I can't just go up to him and say it! You know how hard it is to say 'I love you' to a complete stranger?"

(Applejack)

"Well yeah, but it's best you try an' tell him before he walks outta ya life forever."

(Rainbow Dash)

"Well, how can I get him to notice me? I mean, look."

(She gestures into the darkness, presumably at Soarin and Spitfire talking.)

"He's talking to Spitfire. She probably have him if-."

(Applejack)

"Listen, just wait for the right moment then go in for the kill. I'll be talking to Twilight Sparkle if ya need me."

(Applejack walks off. The spotlight goes out and another shines on Soarin and Spitfire.)

(Soarin)

"Okay, so Rainbow Dash is just over there. What do I do?"

(Spitfire)

"If you really like her that much, go over and tell her."

(Soarin)

"I would, but I barely know her. I just fell for her beauty when I met her in Cloudsville."

(Spitfire sighs before speaking.)

(Spitfire)

"If it'll make things easier for you, I'll ask Vinyl Scratch to play a slow song later tonight. Then you can ask her to dance with you. That'll be the perfect mood to tell her you love her!"

(Soarin)

"Alright, you tell Vinyl Scratch the time you want to play the song, I'll go and try to chat her up."

(Spitfire)

"Go get 'em Tiger!"

(The spotlight turns off as the rest of the lights come back on. Spitfire walks off to talk to Vinyl Scratch whilst Soarin walks over to Rainbow Dash who jumps at his sudden arrival.)

(Rainbow Dash)

"Sweet Celestia Soarin! Please don't sneak up on me like that!"

(Soarin)

"Sorry Rainbow Dash. Are you enjoying the party?"

(Rainbow Dash)

"Yeah. Things are much better now I'm talking to you."

(Soarin grabs a near-by drink.)

(Soarin)

"You know, Applejack told me a lot about you."

(Soarin begins drinking.)

(Rainbow Dash)

"Yeah. At one point, I heard a rumour you loved me."

(Soarin, shocked at this, accidently spits his drink into Gilda's face, who was walking by.)

(Soarin)

"Oh sorry Gilda!"

(Gilda wipes a claw over her damp face and walks off without a word. Soarin then awkwardly turns to face Rainbow Dash.)

"Love? I had one shot at love with Spitfire years ago. After loads of rumours and stuff, we decided to stay friends. Besides, love can be bad for a pony and his or her life business."

(Rainbow Dash)

"Speaking of which, your schedule must've been busy."

(Soarin)

"Yeah, but I thought me and Spitfire would take some time off to see you."

(Rainbow Dash)

"Oh! Is there any reason to or-?"

(Soarin)

"Well, I dunno 'bout Spitfire but I just want you to be happy on your birthday."

(Rainbow Dash)

"Aww Soarin, that's so sweet!"

(Rainbow Dash then grasps his face in her hooves and kisses him. Soarin's eyes shoot open in shock. Almost immediately, everypony's attention turns on them.)

(Applejack)

(Quietly) "There you go. He's sure to fall for ya now."

(Spitfire)

(Quietly) "Yes Soarin. You got this in the bag."

(Upon realizing the amount of attention she's getting, Rainbow Dash breaks the kiss and looks at Soarin who's still shocked at the sudden kiss.)

(Rainbow Dash)

"Oh! I'm so sorry Soarin! I just lost control of myself and......"

(Rainbow Dash looks around then runs out the Library.)

(Twilight Sparkle)

"Rainbow Dash wait!"

(Applejack)

"Oh this ain't gonna end well."

(Gilda)

"Come on guys! We need to go get Rainbow Dash!"

(Everypony runs out the library, leaving only Soarin and Spitfire left. Spitfire walks up to Soarin.)

(Spitfire)

"Um Soarin?"

(Soarin)

"Oh, my, goddess, Rainbow Dash, has to be the best kisser I've ever met! I need to go and tell her!"

(Soarin's about to run out after everypony but Spitfire stops him.)

(Spitfire)

"Wait a minute Soarin! She's really embarassed at the moment. Maybe we should head home and come back later."

(Soarin and Spitfire walk out the door, closing it behind them.)
