(Note: this is based on a very old Flash comic I read once. Not think too much of it.)

Rainbow Dash hated her nap being interrupted, unless it was some earth shattering emergency, and even then; but when she arrived at the town square she realized something was wrong. Very, very wrong.

Half of the town was frozen in place.

"Twilight! What's going on in here?"

"Rainbow Dash, thank Celestia you are here. We need your help,"

Rainbow took another look at the ponies, all standing still in mid-air, trapped in a real life photography. "Are they playing some kind of game?"

"Of course not. Some type of magic I´ve never encounter is affecting them."

"What kind of magic?"

"Pinkie knows more about the details. She said she saw something fell from the sky into the Everfree. Pinkie, can you repeat to Rainbow what you just told me?"

Of course to Pinkie "repeat" meant doing somersaults while explaining things. "There was this big huuuuge flash of light and then I look up and there was like this fireball that came crashing to the ground fiiiiuuuuu and then I move over to see and out of big chunk of rock came out an a-" and Pinkie froze in the middle of her acrobacy.

"Pinkie!"

"No Rainbow, not touch here! Look, she came inside the perimeter. I´ve made calculations and the effect expands across the entire town square, anypony who enters the area falls into the spell," and she pointed at Scootaloo, who was trapped in her scooter, never finishing her fall.

"She can´t move at all?"

"Not really. Spike and I have been monitoring her and we discover she is actually moving, albeit very slowly. About an inch every sixty seconds."

"I don´t understand any of this. And I don´t like it. Can´t you get Princess Celestia to fix this?"

"I´ve already called her but I´ll like to have more information before she arrives, that´s why I called you. You´re the fastest flier of Equestria, I figured if somepony could be able to move inside there, it would be you."

Rainbow Dash didn´t like the idea of getting inside there but she didn´t like seeing Pinkie and Scoots like that either.

****

"Ugh," Rainbow grunted. "I can´t barely move! I´m going at the speed required for a Rainboom and I´m moving slower than Fluttershy!"

Doing a tremendous effort, Rainbow was able to move further into the square, noticing that ponies were caught in the middle of their activities just like Rose who kept watering her plants even she was still as a statue. After a few minutes of slow, really slow search she eventually found something. Something strange.

"Uh?"

It was a pony or it seemed like one. It actually resembled the changeling queen more. She was a s tall as Princess Luna, even wearing a crown and all but her body was white and gold, eyes were completely black and she had butterfly wings, similar to the ones Rarity had once. She moved at the same speed as Rainbow, dropping gold glitter on every move.

"Who is she? Why isn´t she affected by this weird spell? And why is she lifting everypony left hoof to look inside it?"

Rainbow tried to get her attention but when she ignored her, Rainbow did what she always did to get somepony attention. She kicked her.

"Who are you and what are you doing in Ponyville?"

"No time. Too slow." and the strange pony returned the kick sending her against some boxes.

"Brilliant move Rainbow. I should get Twilight in here...no, I´m the only one who can deal with this weird pony. But how do I do that? Think Rainbow, what would Daring Do do? She doesn´t use her muscles, she uses her brain..." Rainbow finally got an idea and flew off the area.

Just as the strange pony was lifting Applejack leg to get a good look inside her hoof, the sky went dark and downpour fell over her head. When she looked up, she found Rainbow and her confident smile.

"You may have some weird bug-eyed powers but only a pegasus can control weather in here." Furious, the strange pony tried to fly but she failed. "And I figured you can´t fly with those pretty wings soak. Now, answer my questions, who are you and what do you want?"

"...lost." and she lifted her shoe, showing that she was missing a horseshoe.

Understanding the problem or at least the basic idea behind it, Rainbow went to fetch pinkie and as the pony to release her. Pinkie Sense was better than any search dog and Pinkie was able to find the missing horseshoe, a tiny glimmering crystal sho that Big Mac got stuck inside his hoof.

"Thanks." said the mysterious pony and she transformed into a flash of light, disappearing into the sky.

Without her, the spell was broken and everypony was free.

"You didn´t ask her who she was, or where did she come from, or how she was able to do that type of magic, or..."

"Relax egghead," Rainbow said, ready to catch Scootaloo when she regained inertia. "Your head is gonna explode if you keep asking questions."

"But aren´t you curious?" Twilight asked.

"Not really. A pony needed help and I helped. To me is as simple as that. Hey kid, want a ride home?" and Rainbow carried Scootaloo on her back and flew her back to her house, heading straight into that blue sky.
