First Day Part 5: Twilight’s & Rainbow’s Little Realizations

Twilight stared at the equations with a feeling that he had never experienced when it came to numbers before: seething hatred. “Oh come on!” the alicorn shouted as he glared at the evil math looking over him on his extra-deluxe-sized blackboard.

After a sugary breakfast with Pinkie and Rarity, in which the alicorn had agreed with the unicorn to see if ponies were willing to wait on the council’s solutions to their problems, Twilight had gone back to his lab to see where he had gone wrong with the height increase spell. Considering everything that had happened, hours of late nights must have taken their toll on the alicorn when he had been a she up at 1AM, processing the information by himself since he really didn’t want ponies stumbling in and asking questions, Twilight figured that it wasn't a surprise something had gone wrong. And she had been so excited during the final check, so the alicorn wrote missing something that time due to emotional distraction.

Sure, Twilight could have just told them what was going on with the spell and worked on it during normal hours, but…he really didn’t like the idea of lying to his friends. Keeping secrets was much easier.

Like…with when he had all the alicorn magic and could have protected his friends from Tirek and Discord instead of giving them busy work that kept them out in the open long enough for the draconequus to swoop in and snatch them all up in one go…

“It’s not like you knew that Discord had turned rat.”

Twilight let out a whine at his memory of Rainbow Dash trying to console him for the latest in his long line of screw-ups. Which of course turned to the memory of her kissing him, and Twilight soon found himself wishing he had taken it further. A cutie mark caress, a little more tongue, and he could have picked the mare up to carry her to his room and…

“TWILIGHT!”

Thoughts of putting himself in the pegasus were shattered by the shouting dragon, standing beside him. Twilight jumped into the air, his wings keeping him aloft with a few flaps for a few seconds to keep the alicorn from landing on his plot. At least it did until his lower midsection was completely soaked by a mass of ice cold water courtesy of the bucket carried by his number one assistant.

The shock of the freezing liquid jolted what lecherous thoughts remained in his body out of the alicorn.

Then, he fell to the ground on his plot and turned to the little purple dragon. “Thanks Spike.”

Okay Twilight, back to the chalk board, he told himself while looking over to the spell.

The equations were balanced, the math was spot on, the number 69 gave him an idea about what he and Rainbow Dash could do once they were back to being the same sex. He was actually pretty curious about his stamina as a mare. Although he was pretty sure that Rainbow would be the one giving more than getting if…

“Spike,” the alicorn said before another splash of water drenched him, making the stallion let out a long sigh in-between shivers.

He had read that cold showers, or at least water, was the proper deterrent to arousal. The science behind the reason was simple, the exposure to the cold water made the body react by drawing in the warm blood and moving it to crucial parts of the body to preserve heat. Twilight’s phallus had its own place to go to stay warm after all.

However, what Stallion Secrets and Other Things had neglected to mention was that once the body had gotten over the initial shock of the arctic blast, things could go right back to normal five minutes later. It also might have dealt with Twilight’s erection, but the thoughts of the stallion taking Rainbow in the council room, of impaling her on his hard-on while he sat on his throne, holding her close while she let out tiny whimpers of pleasure and keeping her on his lap while the council held court to pass judgments on disputes between friends who brought their problems to Twilight and the others…those things did not vanish in a burst of cold.

But, as distracting as thoughts of Rainbow being completely in his hold were, they were better than the images of the pegasus looking so sad and torn between her dreams and her friends. He didn’t blame her for being so confused and conflicted, having faced the same problem not too long ago with his ascension. It had come down to a choice of his duty as a princess and obedience to Princess Celestia, or having faith in his friends to help him with his burdens and see things through. The fact that he had chosen poorly gnawed at him still.

Everything may have worked out, but I was the one who made it all go wrong in the first place, he told his memory of Dash as she tried to comfort him.

“It’s not like you knew that Discord had turned rat.”

Twilight sighed and shook his head. If Rainbow knew the truth… He didn’t know what she would do. Although, flipping tables, drenching him in rain, breaking up with him before they could even go on a single date, moving to Cloudsdale and raising their foal on her own as she tried to find a real stallion to spend the rest of her life with because Twilight’s betrayal of their trust had completely destroyed their friendship and turned her away from mares of all tribes forever was hardly out of the question!

In fact…it was a certainty!

Another wave of cold water washed across the alicorn, and looked over to glare at Spike’s third, and final empty bucket of water. “I wasn’t even starting to get hard Spike.”

“Yeah, but you were starting to panic,” he countered in an even tone. “And I’m supposed to keep you focused on that.”

Twilight looked over to the chalkboard and sighed at the problem it represented. “Twiguy, my feelings for Rainbow…Dash’s guilt, and her pregnancy,” he said, listing all the problems that were quickly piling up as he sat back on his haunches. “Whatever happened to the days when all the weird problems just waited their turn and came up one at a time?” He missed those days.

“Ugh, can you please not mention you putting a foal in Rainbow?” Spike pleaded, which got an unapologetic look from the stallion. The last thing he was going to do was ignore his biggest problem. When the baby dragon noticed the raised eyebrow that Twilight was giving him, he let out a groan. “Look, I think it’s great you finally figured out you had a thing for her and she…liked you back, but I’m barely dealing with the fact you’re a guy right now and…I’m way too young to be an uncle.”

The mention of Rainbow’s name started the familiar fantasizing process in Twilight’s mind, and he quickly shook it as hard as he could to try and fight it off. Thankfully, it worked this time before Rainbow could do more than give him an amorous smile. It also left him with a little headache, and feelings of dizziness.

“How in the hay do you deal with being male and crazy about another pony?” Twilight asked with a sigh. “I mean…I’ve never seen you get…you know.”

Twilight felt an odd sense of role reversal as Spike gave him a raised eyebrow. “I may have a thing for Rarity, but I’m still a baby dragon Twilight,” he told the stallion. “Hay…to be honest…I don’t even know how my stuff really works. If anything, you're the one who is supposed to be doing the birds and the bees explanations."

“Well don’t look at me, I’ve read books on pony anatomy and I’ve barely got a handle on my own equipment,” he mumbled before going back to the chalkboard. Just focus on the math Twilight. Math will save you. Good old math, its simple strait forward…and full of phallic imagery… Why in the hay did the first ponies have to make the number one look like an erect penis?

The alicorn jostled his head again. NO! Focus Twilight! Math isn’t like sex. One plus one just equals two in math. Outside the chalkboard, one plus one equals two-point-one, which impossibly increases on its own until its three at the cost of the second one’s dreams, because…GAH! Just focus on the math!

“Okay here we go,” he started again for the twentieth time in the last five minutes. All he needed to do was get through the equation. He had done that before. Inside the last hour even!

In fact, he was doing it right now!

Twilight ran through the numbers as they added, subtracted, divided and multiplied. He squared roots, carried tens, navigated fractions, fractals, and a other stuff that had nothing to do with his Dashie’s cute little flank that was so adorable he wanted to clamp onto it with his hooves and never let go.

Then, after forty five more minutes of continuous algebra, empathy, calculus, quantum physics, and a multitude of mystically mathematical equations, Twilight came to the same conclusion he had before. The same one he had back when he was a she, and checking the board multiple times before its first casting. The spell was absolutely, positively, perfect.

Even if he had gotten distracted during its casting, nothing about it said that a minor slip-up, or even a major one for that matter, would have turned Twilight into a stallion. By all his figures, any error in the spell would have affected his height instead of his gender. But instead of becoming something so small that even a breezie would look down on him, or a pony big enough to step on a full-grown dragon, Twilight had turned into a male.

It just didn't make any sense!

A frustrated yell escaped the stallion’s lips, and he barely stopped himself from rearing up and smashing the offending, senseless and overall useless math into the next millennium!

And that was another thing that was wrong! His tempter! His stupid male, testosterone fueled temper. Twilight knew he could argue with the best of them, knew he could be as stubborn as Applejack when the situation allowed for it, and he knew what it was like to be angry thanks to various things in his life, but… Since becoming a stallion it was just so easy!

When Discord had been about to break the news to Rainbow, Twilight had been ready to beat the draconequus into a bloody pulp. And the spirit’s reappearance had quickly drudged up that experience and added to it with Discord’s stupid insults so much he had turned on Rarity!

Stupid bucking male brain…how does Big Mac make it look so easy? Twilight wondered.

He would have asked, Mac was good for advice after all, but… Going to the farm meant Applejack seeing him like this, and Twilight preferred to keep the circle that knew about this as small as possible.

“You okay Twilight?”

The stallion sighed and turned to look at his little brother. “Yeah, it’s just…I can’t figure out how this stupid spell turned me into a stallion, and if I can’t work that out, then changing back is going to be…difficult.”

If worse came to worse, he could always ask for Celestia’s help, but…the explanation that would involve wasn’t something he was looking forward to.

Spike frowned at Twilight, although he could tell it was in confusion, not anger. “Can’t you just overpower it with that new rainbow stuff you used to beat Tirek? I’ve seen you guys playing with it the past couple of days. It’s really powerful.”

“I used my harmonic magic to boost the spell in the first place, so overpowering it isn’t really much of an option without the others,” he explained. “And with Rainbow Dash being pregnant… I’ve already exposed our foal to more magic than anypony in the history of the Equestrian race, if the whole of the Elements were channeled…” Twilight didn’t even want to imagine how horrible it would be for the child.

He looked back up to the mystic formula and sighed. “So, unless I can figure out what went wrong and how to fix it…I might be having to get used to thinking about sex with Rainbow Dash every ten seconds for the foreseeable future.” Or, at least a week.

Yes, a week to work it out by myself, and if I can’t…I’ll ask for help from the princess.

Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed Spike looking over to the water pails. “Something tells me we’re going to need more buckets…and ice.”

Two hours. Two agonizing hours. Two incredibly agonizing hours. That was how long Rainbow had found herself gathering the clouds on the outskirts of Ponyville’s farm community for the rainstorm that was scheduled later tonight. She hated cloud recycling, it was so much harder than the usual bucking and production of the stuff; and Rainbow Dash made a mental note to give whoever had invented the bucking thing a hard hoof to the face!

Unfortunately, the work was slow enough that she couldn’t enjoy her flight, or need to concentrate it at all really. Which meant her eyes wandered a lot. After a few minutes she knew Carrot Top had exactly 120 carrots planted in every row of her six row field, angel bunny was apparently sneaking out of Fluttershy’s house to extort carrots from the other rabbits around Ponyville, and Big Mac went to the edge of Sweet Apple Acres to play with a homemade doll of some kind that looked awfully familiar.

So, after learning about the deep, dark secrets of about thirty odd ponies, rabbits, and seeing Discord just standing around an open field with a small box in his hand that was following her movements in an awfully suspicious way…

Wait a second… Rainbow Dash thought before she looked over to see the draconequus just standing there on the edge of her vision. Oh bucking hay, what does he want?

For a moment she thought about just ignoring him. He was 'reformed' after all...again. But, the last time Discord had tried to do something helpful, Fluttershy had considered checking into a mental hospital when all the animals started actually talking to her instead of doing their weird animal stuff that she usually just translated. Then there was the time he tried to help the CMC get their cutie marks and nearly blew up the town.

With those incidents in mind, she dashed through the air across three fields and right in his face. “Okay, Discord, what’re you doing here?” Rainbow Dash demanded, preparing to call on her harmonic magic if he tried anything too suspicious.

“Really?” he asked with a raised eyebrow. “At least Twilight waited until I made him angry do get all threatening posture on me.”

Rainbow frowned at the Spirit of Chaos. “Well I’m not as nice to monsters who stab ponies in the back and make Fluttershy cry!” the pegasus growled.

The comment got a wince out of Discord. “Low blow Rainbow Dash.”

“I haven’t even started with the low blows,” she said with a frown. “Now, what do you want?”

Discord let out a loud humph and crossed his arms, the weird box with what Dash identified as a lens on the end disappeared in his hands as he did so. “For your information I…um…ah! I came here to see if you wanted some non-pony to talk to about that little issue of yours.”

“What issue?” the pegasus growled.

After tapping his chin for a moment in thought, a light bulb appeared above the creature’s head, and Discord reached behind his back. When he brought his hands back out, both of them were covered by sock puppets. The left was obviously Rainbow Dash, complete with a badly made mane, and the purple one with a miniature toilet paper roll in place of a horn.

“Hey Twilight,” sock-Dash said. “I’m feeling like a loser because, despite all the things I’ve done. Plus, I’ll never be able to do what I really want to do with my life if I just stay around here all the time.”

Sock-Twilight shook her head. “Don’t you know you’re not supposed to be a hero Dash? I need you to stick around and play as my backup singer while I hog all the glory, the princessness, and everything else?”

Rainbow Dash glared at the offensive sock puppet, then looked up to Discord, deepening her expression of displeasure with a snarl. “Hey!”

“What?” he asked he went back to crossing his arms. “That is what you are after all, Twilight becomes a princess, and you all follow her around. She gets a castle and you all…well, most of you move in.”

“Well it’s not like she means to,” Rainbow Dash shouted in the draconequus’s face before backing up a bit and crossing her forelegs. “Besides…she needed us. She was lonely, and the palace is…okay, it’s really stupid and more gaudy than Rarity, but Twilight didn’t build it, and I can deal with stupid looks. I'm dealing with you after all."

A flick of Discord’s wrists removed the puppets, which disappeared with a couple of pops as soon as they were in the air. “Ah, so you should just go ahead and forgive Twilight for all his little mess ups as long as it’s an accident, huh?”

Rainbow let out a long breath of air. “Look, just…shut up! And you’re getting me off topic anyway! Now tell me what the hay you were doing here?”

“Ugh fine, if you insist,” Discord mumbled before the strange box with the lens appeared in his hands again. “I’m taking recordings for the use of future bribery and blackmail.”

The fact that Discord had just come out and said it in a completely even tone actually brought Dash’s jaw down for a few seconds, and she had to shake herself to recover. “SAY WHAT?”

“Take a look at what I’ve got so far,” he said before taking out a small box from the larger one and snapping his fingers summon up another box with an odd mirror that didn’t look all that much like a mirror. “Sorry for the low quality. Twilight broke my HD one.” Then, he put the smaller box into a slot the larger one had.

Dash took a moment to glare at Discord, then turned back to look at the moving pictures that looked a lot like her and her friends as a cutsie song began playing. “Hey, how come Twilight’s not a…oh, never mind,” she mumbled when the purple pony teleported in on screen and spread her wings.

It was stupid, but…Rainbow supposed she had earned a break, what with the storm almost completely ready before lunch. With that done, she could spend the rest of the day napping, or just hanging with Twilight in her castle. The later made her cheeks burn as she thought of what she had promised the alicorn.

A blow job was something Sorin had wanted, and the reason Dash had kicked the stallion to the curb all those weeks ago the Games had ended. He was…well, aside from looks and fame, the stallion didn’t have all that much going for him. Sorin was obsessed with food, especially apples, and…pretty dumb. Box of rocks dumb.

Not like Twilight.

Speaking of which, Rainbow thought as the picture changed to her and Twilight waking up in her bedroom. As the images began to move, Rainbow Dash looked over to Discord with a glare. “What the hay is this?”

“Oh well, you see, first Twilight is using his magic to get rid of all those little problems you built up over the years…surprised you didn’t ask me about that really, I would have given you a hand,” Discord told her.

Rainbow let out a humph. “As in, those things Lyra keeps asking you for every time your in town? No thanks.”

The draconequus grabbed his chest as if Rainbow had stabbed his heart, then looked back to the picture box. “Oh, and now your big ol’ prince is scanning you for any other problems he might have missed and…Oooooo a panic attack. I wonder what all that was about?”

“Since you already know, why don’t you tell me?” Rainbow growled through clenched teeth.

Discord let out a nervous laugh, and backed away. “As much as I’d love to…Twilight did kind of threaten my continued corporeal existence to keep me from blabbing. So…ask him.”

The pegasus glared at the draconequus for a few more moments, then let out a long sigh. “Oh, well…thanks,” she said reluctantly. "For the heads up I mean." In truth, Rainbow hadn't really thought about why Twilight had passed out, just that she did and was fine afterwards.

“Um…” Discord paused and took out a book entitled How to Talk to Ponies. “Ah, you’re welcome. Wow, I’ve been waiting to use that one!”

“Buck. You.”

A few page turns later, and the draconequus let out a gasp before he looked over to Rainbow Dash with hesitation. “Okay. But…” he paused and gave the pegasus a coy look. “Please, be gentle, it’s my first time.”

An eye twitch, and a hoof to the chaos spirit's face later, and Rainbow was rocketing off towards Ponyville. She needed to find out what the hay was going on.

“Okay so,” Twilight mumbled as he looked at the covered table in front of him that he had floated out to the balcony. As soon as Rainbow Dash came back for lunch within the next few minutes, they would have a nice, calm discussion…and explain how he had just ruined her life.

The alicorn shook his head. No, No! I did not ruin her life. I’m here for her…we all are! We’ll get through this together, just like we always do!

He raised his head to look at the table. He needed to concentrate on something else. So, he went over the food checklist again. Everything on the menu was Dash’s favorite, made by Pinkie, with Rarity’s help in regards to the non-alcoholic cider. She had crushed the apples in her own magic to make a small cask's worth, and exhausted the palace’s supply of apples in doing so.

As for the non-liquid food, Pinkie had prepared numerous cakes, muffins, a pie, and a few other things that she knew how to cook that didn’t fall under her pastry chef title, such as a healthy salad, some bread sticks, and even a pizza that she said had Rainbow’s favorite toppings of alfalfa and pineapple.

It figures that Rainbow would be a health nut, Twilight thought to himself with a smile as he looked over the hay topping. At least he wouldn’t need to talk the little pony into giving up anything beyond hard cider.

“Let’ s see…next is…how to break the news,” the alicorn mumbled to himself as he went down his mental checklist.

Twilight cleared his throat. “Rainbow Dash, you’re pregnant.”

Too direct, Twilight told himself before thinking of something else.

“Rainbow…remember the wonderful time we had last night? Well, I might have miscalculated my sperm count and you were exposed to… No, too scientific.” Knowing Rainbow, she would be asleep before Twilight got to the word sperm.

“Rainbow, I love you,” he said before hesitating. Wait that’s… Did he love Rainbow, or was it a infatuation? The Alicorn of Love had said they were hard to discern, and while one was considered to be the best thing in the world, the other was a lie that usually led to heartbreak. He really needed to consult Cadence on the matter before doing something like that. She was the expert after all.

He tried a few other ways, breaking it slowly…asking about her day, the old ‘you’re pregnant, pass the butter’ line, but…none of it just seemed right! Even Pinkie’s ‘Congratulations on your unexpected foal Dashie!’ banner was a better idea than what Twilight could come up with! All of his ideas had Rainbow panicking and hating him for the rest of his life!

Not to mention the odds of him actually choking up midway through were…sixty-five percent! And that was just telling Rainbow she was with foal without her freaking out about everything! When it came to telling her about the magical contamination, those odds jumped to…eighty-seven percent!

How in the hay was he supposed to tell Rainbow Dash everything with an eighty-seven percent chance of messing it up?

Twilight let out a scream of frustration at the situation and…turned around when he heard the balcony door behind him open. “Rainbow?”

“Sorry Darling, it’s just me,” Rarity said as she stepped out into the afternoon air. “I came to see how it was going and…heard you yelling.”

Rarity’s comment about how it was going got a confused frown from Twilight. “Going? Rarity, Rainbow isn’t even here yet.You need to go before she comes and gets the wrong idea." With his luck, that was probably a foregone conclusion.

“Twilight, it’s one o’clock, if Rainbow Dash was coming, she would have been here by now.”

The mention of the time made Twilight go ridged, then look around for a clock…in the empty air. When he realized the foolishness of his action, he looked back to the white unicorn. “Maybe she's taking a late lunch?”

“Twilight, there might be the possibility that she’s not coming,” Rarity suggested.

He shook her head in response. “No. We um…made plans.” There was no way Rainbow would just ditch him. While several ponies saw the pegasus napping and thought she was lazy, Rainbow was always there when she made an appointment to be. It was part of who she was.

Twilight turned to look over balcony’s railing. The only reason that she would be where she said she would was if… “Something must have happened to her!” the alicorn exclaimed in a panic before turning to face the unicorn. “Rarity, we have to go find her. Get Fluttershy, and AJ, call out the royal guard! We can-”

“Twilight.”

“-begin with a basic search pattern and…ARG! Why did I have to push choosing the members of my castle's guard back to next month?”

“Twilight.”

“Okay, so it’s just the five of us and…Pinkie Pie!” the alicorn exclaimed. “Rainbow Dash told one time that Pinkie has this weird…Pinkiness that allows her to just find anypony she wants no matter where they hide! HEY PINKIE PIE!”

“Yeah Twilight?”

Twilight barely kept himself from yelping in surprise, and Rarity reached up to rub the section of her forehead between her eyes as Pinkie Pie just came out from underneath the table that Twilight had set up. The alicorn was just thankful he had decided to be fancy and put a table cloth on it so Pinkie just didn’t seem to appear out of nowhere.

“Pinkie, I need you to find Rainbow Dash, and come back and tell me where she is.”

“No problem Princess Twiguy!”

A second later, the pink pony zipped down the balcony and through the door leading to her room, then came out the one leading to Twilight’s the moment her own door shut. Twilight frowned at the display and opened her mouth to ask Pinkie what was going on, or if she forgot something, but Pinkie beat the alicorn to the punch. “I found her! I found her! I found her! I found her!”

Rarity cleared her throat, getting the party pony to stop reciting her chant. “And where would that be Darling?”

“Oh, Dashie’s in the hospital.”

The world lurched, and Twilight felt as if his castle decided it just didn’t want to have a balcony anymore. At least, that’s what he thought it was until he impacted the crystal and gold floor from his legs giving out from underneath him. No, she can’t be. Oh please no, don’t let her be hurt, please don’t let her be hurt.

Rarity said…something, but Twilight didn’t much care to listen. Too many things were going through his mind. Too many possibilities of what it could be. The foal’s magical contamination? An accident with the weather? Dash trying to pull of a stunt and getting hurt? A new enemy? It did seem to be about that time since they were settled in after all.

Each option made Twilight all the more panicked, and brought a mental kick to his head. What have I done? I should have told her. Why didn’t I tell her? I’m such a bucking idiot!

Please just let her be okay. I don’t care about anything else, just let my Rainbow be alright!

She finally understood why so many ponies said ’you’d better sit down’ before delivering bad news. It took all of Rainbow’s strength to remain sitting up on the bed-chair-thingy that doctors liked to use in their little offices.

Still, she was Rainbow Dash, a little startling news wasn’t going to take her down. She wasn't Twilight Sparkle for crying out loud! So she took in a deep breath, and looked up to Dr Stable. “Are you sure?”

“The test is magical based Ms Dash,” the stallion replied. “Accuracy is always one hundred percent. You don’t need to worry about the foal though. The spell falls well within the safety preview for a developed embryo.”

Rainbow licked her lips and gulped. “Do you know what it is?” she asked. It was a simple question. She could handle simple.

“It’s an embryo, not a fetus,” the doctor told her. “As for age, I’d say about…”

“Six weeks and three days.” That was the next to last day of the Equestria Games, when she had slept with Soarin for the last time before he came back to wave his cock in front of her face the next night expecting… Ugh, I think I’m going to be sick.

Dr Stable looked up from his chart. “Well, it’s a little underdeveloped but…that does fall within time-frame of conception, yes.”

The pegasus gulped nervously. “How…um…is it…okay,” Rainbow asked as she looked down at her stomach in worry. Six weeks…oh Celestia! I was… I had a foal in me when Tirek attacked me! When he drained my magic! That’s bad, right? That has to be like, really bad. The Worst Ever!

“Well the placenta seems a little weak, but…as far as I can tell, your foal is healthy, if developing a bit slow.”

“Slow?” Rainbow exclaimed in a panic. “Does that mean there’s something wrong? Tirek, he drained me! Did that hurt my foal?”

The doctor put a hoof on the panicking pegasus. “Settle down Ms Dash. We’re aware you went up against that monster and ran some extra tests, remember? There’s no side effects from the mana drain that we can see. Your foal is just taking its time is all.”

Rainbow let out a relieved sigh and leaned back, placing her forelegs behind her as she let the good news seep in. She felt ready to collapse from sheer relief. “Thank Celestia…or Twilight, really.” I take back every bad thing I ever thought about you Egghead.

“Now, since you had only one guess as to the time of conception…I take it you know who the father is?” the doctor asked. “I only bring it up because having his family’s medical history would help stave off any complications that might develop later on.”

For the third time since coming into the hospital for a comprehensive mystical checkup, Rainbow Dash’s body froze. Her eyes widened, and her chest seized.

She hadn’t thought about it thanks to the Tirek thing, but now that she knew her foal was more or less fine…

It hit her that she was with foal.

Soarin’s foal.

She was having Soarin’s foal…

Oh no…what am I going to tell Twilight? Rainbow Dash thought as she watched the possibility of finally having a relationship with the alicorn shatter piece by piece.
