“No, the fact of the matter is, you should’ve given all that up a long time ago. Yer lucky you ain’t locked away in a hole with Pinkie Pie or Fluttershy at this point.”

“Uh, no,” Rainbow Dash sighed as she waved a hoof. “I’m not locked away in a hole because I’m awesome! Besides, as soon as the CMC carry out the awesome plan I had to break out Pinkie and Flutters, they won’t be locked up anymore!” Rainbow Dash smiled with confidence before her eyes popped wide open. “Oops.”

Applejack gripped Dash’s cloak with her teeth and pulled her away from the wall and close to the table. “What’s this plan of yours?”

Rainbow Dash’s wide grin was all too sincere. “Oh, an easy one. Fluttershy and Pinkie are locked up in the same district. So I sent the CMC to kidnap the district captain of the guard’s daughter to bargain their release.”

Applejack stared at her old friend for several moments before dragging her by the cloak out the door. Rainbow protested, scraping her hooves on the floor as the sailors and waitress looked on with puzzlement. “Where are we going?”

“We’re goanna find Rarity and get this settled, because I have feeling we’ll be needing her to calm the storm of idiocy you started.”
