Rainbow Dash was sleeping in a cloud, it was one of the few remaining snow clouds so it felt cool at touch. The sun was bright, cleaning the entire fields of Ponyville but there was still a little bit of chill in the air. For Rainbow Dash, those were the conditions for a perfect nap.

Or it would if somepony would stop making so much noise down in the ground. Rainbow peaked and found Scootaloo digging in a patch of snow.

"Hey squit, whatcha doing?" she startled the filly.

"Ah! Oh Rainbow Dash I´m...I´m just looking for something?"

"Something? What?"

"Umh flowers."

"What was that again?"

"Flowers!" she yelled, blushing.

"Flowers? Like those ones?" Rainbow said, pointing at some small yellow and pink flowers half covered by snow.

"There they are! Thanks Rainbow!"

"You´re...welcome?" Rainbow said, watching Scootaloo rush to meet the other Crusaders.

"Oh darling, they look beautiful in you!"

"You think so?"

"Of course! They have your exact same colors!"

Rainbow turned her head to see Rarity tying the flower to Fluttershy's mane. Why was everypony acting so strange?

"Hello Rainbow!" Twilight Sparkle, accompanied by Spike, approached Rainbow

"Hey Twilight. Have you noticed how weird everypony is acting?" she asked.

"Weird? I didn´t noticed anything weird."

"Then why do you have those flowers?" Rainbow pointed at the flowers that magically floated in the air.

"These are for Spike. Now, hold still," she said, using her magic to tie the flowers around his neck, something that the dragon clearly disliked.

"Why are you doing that?" Rainbow asked.

"It´s tradition. It´s the custom after every Winter Wrap Up to search for the Spring Flowers and tie them to either your special somepony or a family member you hold dear. Hold still, Spike!"

"Never heard of that one," Rainbow admitted, scratching her head.

"Really? How strange, considering you have been living here longer than us."

"Yeah well, I usually just sleep over the day after the Wrap Up, hehe. I got to leave, see ya!" Rainbow took off, leaving behind Twilight struggling with his little brother.

She flew across town noticing that everypony was doing the same. Little fillies giving flowers to their grandparents, couples exchanging bouquets, good friends making crown flowers together, the entire town was painted in pink and yellow.

She circled town a couple of times, unsure of what to do. They would notice if she starts searching for flowers but if she keeps flying around with nothing i her hooves they will notice her anyways. She start looking around, trying to find some for herself before they ran out but it was useless. There were no more flowers in all of Ponyville.

Defeated, Rainbow floated to a hill in the outskirts. She poked a snow patch but found nothing. Rainbow sighed.

"Stupid flowers. Who wants them anyway? Although it would have been nice if at least somepony would have gave some to them, even from the squirt. Nobody likes me enough?"

Her question was answered by a snowball hitting her head.

"Gotcha ya!"

"Pinkie Pie! What are you doing?"

"The weather team let me have the last pile of snowballs! And now the war has started!!" she said, grabbing half of the pile.

It took a second for Rainbow to forget about the flowers and join in the battle.

"For Cloudsdale!" she yelled and jumped over the other half of the pile.

Rainbow and Pinkie kept throwing snowballs to each other the rest of the day. One of them failed and hit a nearby bush, revealing a pair of bright flowers. The only pair of Spring Flowers that were not handled to anypony that year.
