Rainbow Dash flew through the air with wild adbandon, letting the wind flow through her rainbow-colored mane. She tore through the clouds surrounding her with total confidence. As she soared, she began to become lost in her thoughts of flying with the Wonderbolts, the very team she had idolized as a young filly. The excitement was immense, and she was so excited to know that she had finally been accepted into their flight team! And then suddenly a ringing sound blared out, causing Rainbow Dash to plummet to the ground.

Rainbow Dash awoke to the loud ring of her Wonderbolts stylized alarm clock. Reaching over to press the snooze button so she could doze off into her fantasy world again, she fell out of her dark blue bed with a purple cover and lightning stripe with a quiet thud. Rubbing the lasting effects of the Sandmare's spell out of her hot pink pupiled eyes, Rainbow Dash moaned to herself groggily, "Ohh, why did I even buy that clock if I don't even use it 7 out of 7 days of the week?" She then pressed the off button of her clock with slightly numb hoof from her nearly 10 hour sleep along with her sudden jolt of awakening. Her eyes instantly shot open as she had saw that the time on the clock had been 5:00 in the morning! She quickly sprinted to her window to observe the skies, but there wasn't even a sun to speak of, except for a few damp clouds along with the dark purple color in the sky, displaying the barely visible crack of dawn.
"Omigosh, how the hay is my alarm so early in the morning?! I never wake up so early!", she said to herself. Her rude awakening would open be interrupted once more with the blare of her 'Sonic Boom' ringtone to her cell phone. "Oh come on!" she angrily yelled to herself, before turning on her phone with a tap of her hoof on it's screen, and she her eyes widened to see who it was.

It was a rather 'normal' picture of Pinkie Pie with a huge grin on her face. Rainbow Dash thought to herself that only Pinkie Pie would call her at 5:00 in the morning. She quickly changed her irritated face to a grin, her tone to a pleasurably calm. Though it was hard to with her seemingly zero hours of sleep. With a slight hint of tire in her voice she answered her phone. "Pinkie Pie", she yawned, "what do you want at 5 in the morning? Not even Applejack is awake at this time." She suddenly retracted her statement, as she knew that Applejack would be up at this time to buck apples, being the dedicated worker she was.

"OH, OH, OH, DASHIE!" Pinkie hollered, "I JUST WANTED TO INVITE YOU TO MY PARTY TONIGHT!"

"Ugh, why couldn't you invite me at like 3 in the afternoon?" Rainbow asked her pink friend through her phone.

"BECAUSE I WANTED YOU TO GET THE INVITATION AT THE CRACK OF DAWN! IT'S NOT A MAJOR PARTY WITHOUT AN INVITATION AT DAWN, DASHIE!" Pinkie Pie yelled at a volume so loud through the phone that Dash had to cover the ear she wasn't using to listen to the phone, wincing while pulling the phone away from her other ear.

"Pinkie, please, it's 5 o'clock! I just woke up from my alarm clock!" Rainbow Dash said in a hushed tone. She hadn't the foggiest idea how or why her clock was set at 5 o'clock. Perhaps it was a mistake she made after way too much flying. While processing that thought, she winced in fear at the possibility that Pinkie's voice was about to explode through the phone.

"I just wanted to call you to let you know, silly filly! The party's at 5:00 P.M., casual clothing."

"Pinkie Pie, we don't normally wear clothes. And even if we did, what would pass for casual?

"Dashie, I mean accessories! Wow, talkin' to you is not at all like talkin' to Rarity." Pinkie said, slightly serious.

"Ok, fine, I'll be there, Pinks. I'll see you at 5 o'clock in ten, seconds, flat/" she said with a tone of overconfidence. And then she ended her call with a yawn.

Trotting over to her shelf, she grabbed her hairbrush and rushed to the bathroom to get herself ready for whatever the day planned. After somehow being able to brush her teeth, she groggily turned the knob on her shower that it was warm enough to snap the sleep out of her and wake her half-asleep self up. About 15 minutes laters, she opened her shower curtain, quickly shook the Cloudsdale brand shower water out of her coat and multicolored mane and tail. After brushing her wet mane into it's familar windblown style she always did it, even in her fillyhood. She then walked down her cloud stairs to her dining room to her blue lightning bolt refridgerator and quickly pulled out an ice-cold pitcher of apple cider. Knowing that apple cider would soon ferment with alcohol after a few weeks, Rainbow Dash always made sure to make a mental note to purchase her apple cider on the day it was made; never being a drinker and knowing it would surely affect her flying, especially after she had taken DOFUI: 'Dangers of Flying Under the Influence'. She then pulled out some blood red apples and prepared her favorite breakfast, fresh apples with apple cider.

After she finished her breakfast, she flew fast up to her bedroom as quick as lightning, and pulled out the second book of the 'Daring Doo' series. After reading up to Chapter 5, she dozed off and once again dreamed of herself as Daring Doo.

It was 4:55 in the afternoon. After an exercise of flying through storm clouds, the usual weather patrol and rainbow generation, she had remembered the party she was woken up so rudely for. Quickly stopping fast enough for her to hear her screeching halt echo with a sonic boom, she dropped to the ground and decided to take the slow way to the party.

"OH, HOLD ON GUYS! SOMEPONY'S HERE!" Pinkie Pie yelled and answered the door. Seeing Rainbow's pink eye pupils gazing at her, Pinkie practically let out a squee with happiness. "OMIGOSH, DASHIE'S HERE!!" she screamed in pure excitement. Letting her in Rainbow Dash trotted in and posed in a normally overconfident pose.

"Yo, best flier in Equestria in the house!" Rainbow Dash said excitably to her crowd of ponies. However, she barely had enough time to act with a cupcake being practically shoved into her mouth. The taste was chocolate with vanilla frosting. "Whoa, whoa, Pinkie!" Rainbow said before swallowing, "you tryin' to kill me with that cupcake?", she said with a surprised expression.

"Sorry Dashie, I'm just so excited that I wanted to give you a taste of the party right at this time! I just wanted to see you so much!" she said at such a fast pace that Rainbow's eyes rolled around her eyeballs.

"Whatever, whatever, I'm just ready to partay!" Rainbow said with a high-pitch voice crack.

After about 3 hours of non-stopping partying, Dash was totally tuckered out from dancing, apple-bobbing, playing 'Pin the Tail on the Pony', and showing off her flying tricks. She was standing over the balcony of Sugarcube Corner, when she saw a white flash of light on the ground. At first she thought that she was hallucinating from party-overload, but when she saw leaves blowing off the trees, and heard the high-pitch whir of an unknown object, she quickly flew to the ground to see what was happening.

FLASH

A pay-phone appeared with an hourglass and bubbles mark on the top of the booth. As smoke poured from the opening door, a stallion and pegasus walked out of the booth with serious looks on their face.

"Hello, miss Rainbow Dash. We need to have a talk" the stallion bellowed. Rainbow Dash tried to make out the face of the stallion, but the smoke was becoming so dense that her eyesight was blurred.

"W-who are you? And how do you even know my name?" the dazed blue pegasus asked.

"A friend. Now please, we haven't got much time. It could be too late, or too early" the stallion said.
