"Whew! Alright Fluttershy, I think that's the last of them."
 
Rainbow Dash set herself down gently, relaxing her wings as she landed and set down the small box full of kittens.
 
"Oh, thank you Rainbow Dash! They were so scared up there!"
 
"How the hay did they even get in the tree in the first place? And...you have wings, couldn't you have just-"
 
"But I had to round up the dogs, too! I couldn't have done both at the same time. So, thanks again, Rainbow Dash!"
 
"Y-yeah, no problem."
 
Fluttershy gave Dash a firm hug before picking up the box of kittens and heading back inside her home, giving a final wave with one of her yellow wings before shutting the door.
 
Dash smiled to herself. Even if Fluttershy was a little strange sometimes, she didn't mind helping her friend.
 
Taking off, Dash headed back into town, flying the short distance from the outskirts that Fluttershy lived in into the town center in a minute. She flew low enough to make hats fall off heads and rustle the soft tops of the market stands. She loved the sound of the wind whistling in her ears, the cloth of the stands snapping taut in the breeze she generated, and the surprised voices that called up at the speeding blue Pegasus.
 
She circled once or twice before setting down again near Sugarcube Corner, the sugary shop that another of her best friends worked at. She was nearly to the door when some pony cut her off, zipping in front of her to open the door, but bumping into her in the process.
 
"Sorry!" Dash blurted as the stallion turned around.
 
They both shared a look of surprise as they realized what she said.
 
"...I think I should be apologizing to you, miss," the colt replied sheepishly, standing inside to hold the door open for Rainbow Dash.
 
"Y-yeah, I guess."
 
Why HAD she apologized? He was the one who cut her off!
 
Trying not to think about it, she walked inside, savoring the delicious baked goods and sugar smell that permeated the store.
 
She felt like she was gaining weight just being here, but it was one of her guilty pleasures. Cake, doughnuts, ice cream, she loved the sugary stuff. She just had to work extra hard to keep the weight off, is all.
 
"Rainbow!" a voice cheered from behind her, making her duck and cover as she squeaked in surprise.
 
The shop fell silent for a time, before a far more subdued voice whispered in her ear.
 
"Dash? Are you okay?"
 
Opening her eyes and looking up at her friend Pinkie, Rainbow Dash blinked a few times in confusion.
 
What was she doing?
 
Pinkie giggled as she pat her blue friend on the head, "That's the best Fluttershy impression I've ever seen! And I've  disguised myself as her before, so I know what I'm talking about!"
 
Wait, what?
 
"I'm nothing like Fluttershy!" Rainbow Dash yelled, standing as her anger flared, "Just ask any pony! I'm a super fast, high flying, crazy awesome Pegasus pony!"
 
Pinkie laughed as she bounded back to the service counter, "I know, I know! But for a second there, you were awfully yellow~!"
 
Dash gritted her teeth and stormed out of the sweets shop, determined to find someone who would tell her just how awesome she was.
 
...Where was Scootaloo?
