(The lights turn on to reveal Whitetail Wood under the clear blue moonlight. Rainbow Dash then runs through two pairs of trees until she is in the center of the stage.)

(Rainbow Dash)

"Are they gone?"

(She looks back.)

"Good, they are."

(She goes over and sits down on a nearby log and after a few minutes of silence, she softly begins sobbing as an instrumental version of 'Hello' by Evanescence begins to play.)

"Why did have to be like this? Why did he have to look at me like that? I'm in serious trouble with him, I can tell! He'll go up to me and say something like 'Rainbow Dash, you had no reason to kiss me like that.' and then goddess knows what he and Spitfire will do! They might ban me from seeing them again. Soarin may never speak to me again! I just don't know and I don't want to!"

(Rainbow Dash slams her hoof on the log she sits on before continuing.)

"But then Soarin's the one colt I love. I'd rather be dead than live a life without him. But how can I go on knowing Soarin probably hates me now? No. I can't do it. I'd rather be dead!"

(She sighs.)

"I guess, I'll just go throw myself off Ghastly Gorge and kill myself rather than live my life alone."

(Rainbow Dash is about to walk off stage when Princess Luna appears.)

(Princess Luna)

"Rainbow Dash. What's this I hear about you contemplating suicide? Is something the matter?"

(Rainbow Dash)

"No Princess Luna, everything's fine."

(Princess Luna)

"Thou art lying."

(Rainbow Dash)

"No I'm not! I'm fine!"

(Princess Luna)

"Then why do I see tear stains on thou cheeks?"

(Rainbow Dash desperately tries to wipe them off her face.)

"You're torturing yourself, young mare. Keep all your concerns inside and you'll only make your pain worse. Believe me, I experienced it when I was your age. Before dear sister Celestia banished me to the moon."

(When mentioning the moon, Luna looks up at it. Rainbow Dash stops wiping her tear stains away and sighs in defeat.)

(Rainbow Dash)

"Fine. If you want to know what happened, Pinkie Pie threw me a surprise party for my birthday and the Wonderbolts were there. And I'm a huge fan myself, I have a whole room with posters of them and stuff. Anyway, so Soarin was talking to me and he mentioned that he wanted me to be happy. Next thing I knew, I was kissing him! But that's not the worse part. I pulled away and he looked shocked. I can't bear to take the punishment if I go back. I just can't!"

(Rainbow Dash starts crying and Luna walks up before placing her in a hug, Rainbow Dash crying into her mane.)

(Princess Luna)

"I understand thou guilt young mare. I remember my first kiss with a colt and I felt the same amount of guilt thou does now. I contemplated suicide as well until Celestia told me to go for it. And if I was you, I'd do the same."

(Rainbow Dash looks up at Luna)

(Rainbow Dash)

"You mean that Princess?"

(Princess Luna just nods.)

(Princess Luna)

"If I'd be honest, I always thought you and Soarin would make a perfect couple. I believed that ever since I saw you save his pie at the Grand Galloping Gala. The best thing thou can do at the moment is to seek out Soarin, tell him how you feel and build the foundations of your relationship from there."

(Rainbow Dash breaks away from Princess Luna before speaking.)

(Rainbow Dash)

"You're right Princess Luna! I will! Thank you so much your majesty!"

(Princess Luna)

"Well, I'm not technically the ultimate ruler of Equestria but-."

(Luna realises Rainbow Dash has left.)

"Well, if she follows my advice, she and Soarin will be all over each other, that's for sure."

(Luna leaves the stage.)
