Prologue

"Good night, Angel."

The night was serene, and quiet, as the moon's faint glow lit up the country side. Taking one last look at her pet rabbit Angel, Fluttershy began settling into for a restful, warm sleep. She looked down at the foot of her bed, as the moon shone on her pale yellow fur, making it appear like it was glowing. Everything appeared hazy, and in a dream like state. The very trees themselves stooped low to the ground, as if they too wished to sleep. It truly was a night of tranquility. A night, however, that's silence would be short lived.

BOOOOM!

As quickly as she had dozed off, Fluttershy awoke with a sudden, loud gasp, her pink mane tossing to and fro as she stumbled to gain her footing. The noise was startling enough, but the view was shocking in itself. A wave of colour spread across the sky. Awestruck and amazed, Fluttershy remained rooted to the floor, gazing at the light show. As the wave began to dissipate and expand, a sudden realization dawned on the shy filly. A frown drifted across her face, as her various pets roused themselves to investigate the noise.

'What is Rainbow Dash doing up this late? And why is she…?' Fluttershy thought. Further observance of the odd phenomena provided an answer to her questions.

A single streak of rainbow colours lead from the origin of the wave right to the ground. Thoughts of anger quickly turned to worry. Wasting no time, Fluttershy quickly dashed down the stairs, her feathered wings beating quickly to keep her body aloft. Although she wasn't an athlete like Rainbow, her wings allowed her to move quickly, and she exited her house as quickly as possible.

Fluttershy couldn't help but be worried. Rainbow Dash was no rookie, but she hadn't completely avoided crashing in the past. Thinking about everything made her feel nauseous.

Her worries were quickly dispersed however, by none other than Dash herself. As she approached the town centre, she saw the blue fur and rainbow mane she knew all too well.

Fluttershy panted, "Rainbow! Are you alright?"

"The… wha? Oh, hi Fluttershy. Yeah... what was that noise?" Rainbow replied, attempting to stifle a yawn.

"It was a Sonic Rainboom. I thought you-" said Fluttershy, confused.

"What the hay is going on?"

The two turned to see Applejack, racing up the street in an orange flurry, her brown cowboy hat nearly falling off her blonde mane. As she approached the two pegasi, the rest of Ponyville quickly rose to investigate the commotion.
