Twilight was walking through Ponyville looking to get a late night snack, as she was going to do a bit of late night of studying. She was daydreaming of the books on geography, and weather patterns, and was in absolute bliss.

However a loud crash interrupted her bliss and shook her out of her daydream. Twilight looked up and saw Rainbow Dash who had just wiped out onto a house, struggling to get out.

“Stupid birds! You don’t own the sky I do! So get out of my air!” Twilight walked over to Rainbow Dash to investigate.

“Rainbow Dash are you okay? Why are you bullying the birds?” Twilight called out to her.

“WHAT?” Rainbow Dash yelled and jump down to face Twilight. Twilight stared closely at Rainbow Dash but immediately noticed something was different about her.

She wasn’t blue like normal; she was completely red and didn’t even have a rainbow in her mane.

“I was just asking why you were being mean to the birds, and why are you red?” Twilight asked awkwardly, as the red RD squinted her eyes looking at her.

“What difference does it make to you Twilight? You think you’re so adult and mature because you read a few stupid books! You little goodie toe shoes, get out of my way!” And with that red RD shot off into the sky.

Twilight stood there dumb struck for a moment simply looking up into the sky. Then in the distance she heard laughing from what sounded like Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash.

Twilight rushed over and down the street saw non other than the bouncing pink pony, but also a bouncing yellow Pony. “And that’s when I said, not that’s my balloon animal!” said the Yellow RD. Pinkie Pie laughed and jumped around excited.

“Pinkie Pie!” Twilight called out rushing towards her.

“Hi Twilight, have you talked to Rainbow Dash today? She is absolutely hilarious!” Pinkie said snorting and giggling.

“Pinkie I don’t think that’s Rainbow Dash!” Pinkie looked over at the yellow RD, who just waved and then Pinkie looked back at Twilight.

“Of course it is! She’s just really happy today!”

“Pinkie then why is she yellow? There’s not an ounce of rainbow in her hair!”

Pinkie looked back at yellow RD furrowed her brow, and stared hard at her. Yet Pinkie turned back to Twilight and shrugged her shoulders. Twilight sighed and threw her head down.

“Follow me, both of you please.” The two simply bounced along following Twilight to her house.

Twilight opened the door to her house and walked straight into the library. She had to figure out what was going on, something was not right with Rainbow Dash. However when Twilight walked into the library, there was already another purple pony sitting down with books all around her. “Um who are you?” Twilight questioned a bit nervous as to who broke into her house.

“Oh hello Twilight, I’m please you have shown up I need your assistance.”

“Whoa whoa what? You broke into my house, and just who are you.” Now Pinkie Pie and Yellow RD walked into the room, but both of them stopped into their tracks.

“Well, Twilight this is the Ponyville library you simply made this your home, but it is still a public library. Second it should be obvious who I am, I am Rainbow Dash; well partly Rainbow Dash.”

The other pony turned around to face Twilight.

“Wait what? What do you mean?” Now Twilight was confused, she has never seen Rainbow Dash…well like Twilight before.

“Earlier today Rainbow Dash was flying through the Everfree forest and she found a large glass pyramid, however when she approached the pyramid, she ended up trapping herself inside."

"Then when sunlight came through the glass and hit Rainbow Dash, and some strange magic created six other Rainbow Dashes. So in an effort to help, I rushed over here to find something on the strange prism.”

Twilight was still stunned at how articulate and intelligent purple Rainbow Dash sounded, but she decided to humor her, as it seemed like she really did want to help.

“Okay, um so did you discover anything?”

“Yes actually.” Purple RD said as she flew over and took a book from the pile. She held up the book in front of Twilight, which reveled a strange old drawing of a glass pyramid on a hill.

“Legend says that this prism has the ability to trap ponies inside, and once white light reflects through, it separates the very natures that make up the pony trapped inside.”

Twilight looked at the book and a sketched on the next stage was a pony trapped inside a triangle, with six different colored ponies escaping through the opening.

“The books says that if we return all the different personas of Rainbow Dash to the pyramid that it will fuse them back into one again.” Twilight read further down the page and gasped.

“Wait, it says here that if we don’t return all of Rainbow Dash’s personalities before sundown that the original Rainbow Dash with disappear forever!”

“Yes unfortunately that’s the only hazard so we shouldn’t waste too much time here.”

“Right, so there are six Rainbow Dashes, we have two now and I saw one earlier, we need to track down the others.” Twilight said.

“Where do we start?” Asked Pinkie Pie still bouncing all around. Twilight opened her mouth to speak, but then closed it not sure what to say.

“Uh, I uh…”

Then Purple RD stepped forward. “I have an idea.” She whispered to Twilight. “Yellow Rainbow Dash?”

“Yes Purple Rainbow?” she responded gigging at having a conversation with herself.

“We’re going to play a game.”

“Oh, I love games I always win at games, what game are we gonna play? Is it hide and seek, or how about Red Rover or maybe-“ Purple RD put her hoof up to stop Yellow RD from talking further. Twilight was still shocked as it was like having an exact clone of Pinkie Pie.

“No, we’re going to do a little scavenger hunt. We’re looking for all the other Rainbow Dashes, you have to find them all and bring them back to us okay?”

“Oh this gonna be so much fun! Come on Pinkie Pie let’s go!”

“Right behind you Yellow RD!” Both ponies hopped out of the Library at break neck speeds.”'

“You think they’ll be okay?” Twilight asked.

“Actually I have no idea…lets go look for a Rainbow Dash.”

“Right.” Twilight said walking out with the Purple RD.
