Rainbow Dash visits the Crystal Empire

>"No, wait! Come back!"
>"Don't leave, I'm sorry!"
>You are Twilight Sparkle.
>And you just made a huge mistake.
>You and one of your best friends, Rainbow Dash, were sitting in a cold, dark, and deserted tower.
>Rainbow Dash was currently having a melt down.
>You had to visit The Crystal Empire on official businesses.
>You thought it would be a great idea to bring Rainbow along, give the two of you some bonding time.
>After her little Wonderbolts lesson, Rainbow dash had confided in you the she became a bit of a history buff.
>As a fun thing to to, you took her on a historical tour around the thousand year old empire.
>Most of the time she looked ready to end her own existence, but she took a special interest in The Door of your Worst Fears.
>"Whoa, this thing looks kinda cool. What is it Twi?"
>By the time she had finished this sentence, you had already begun explaining the whole thousand year history of the door, down to every last wood fiber.
>You had made it explicitly clear to not touch the door though, as it could lead to disaster.
>You should have known better to turn your back on her.
>You heard the door swing open with a "thud".
>Before you could even react, Rainbow Dash was staring deeply through the door way, gazing at her nightmare envisioned.
>"Come back guys, I didn't mean it, I swear!"
>You try to shake her out of it, but to no avail.
>She looks heartbroken, and begins to cry.
>Your horn lights up, and the door slams shut.
>Rainbows eyes return to the usual magenta color, but her expression remains the same.
"Dash, are you alright? What did you see?"
>She remains silent, a few tears rolling off her face.
>With out warning, she rockets into the air, speeding out of the tower, leaving you behind.
"Oh great."
>You make your way up the tower steps, and back down to street level.
>You look all over town for her, but have no success.
>You question every pony that you see, even the Princess.
>Its starting to get dark, and the train home will be leaving soon.
>During your city wide search, you happen to overhear two stallions talking.
>"Hey, did you see that rainbow earlier?"
>"Yea, it was pretty amazing, huh?"
>"It was really vivid too."
>"It was kinda weird though, it looked like it was actually moving.
>"Oh come on, you know that's just an optical illusion, right?
>"Nah, I'm telling you man, it looked like it was headed for the hills right outside of town."
>"Man, you're nuts, you know that?"
>That's gotta be her.
>You pull yourself into the air, moving towards the edge of the city.
>As you arrive a the border, you spot a familiar rainbow mane hiding in the clouds.
>You silently land on the cloud, a few feet away from Dash.
>"Go away."
>You offer a reassuring hoof.
"What did you see Dash? Its alright, you can tell me."
>"I said go away, I don't wanna talk right now."
"Come on Rainbow Dash, talk to me. It'll make you feel better, I promise.
>She looks hesitant, but eventually caves.
>"I-...I saw you."
"What?"
>She looks up to you with red eyes.
>"I saw you, and all of our friends."
>"You were all leaving, leaving me."
"Why? Why would we do that?"
>She lays her head back down in exhaustion.
>"I was being a jerk to you guys, like usual."
>"You all decided to leave,...leave me all alone."
>Her eyes well up again.
>You offer a comforting smile.
>"I was all alone. I hate being alone Twilight!"
>Deciding your friend is desperately in need of one, you wrap her up in a hug.
"Dash you know we would never do that."
"We're all your best friends, we would never leave you over a small fight."
>She looks back up at you again with sad eyes.
>"Really?"
>You laugh a little.
"Of course Dash, what would we do without the "awesomest mare in all of Equestria"?
>She perks up at this, recovering herself.
>"Yea, I am pretty awesome, huh?
"Dash."
>She smiles innocently at you.
>"Oh. Heh, right. Sorry."
"Now come on Dash, our train is leaving soon."
>"Alright, ill race you to the train station!"
"You're on."
>You get down in your starting position, ready to take off.
>Before you can though, Rainbow Dash catches you off guard with a hug.
>"Thanks Twi, you're a good friend."
>You return the embrace.
"Of course Dash, anything for a friend."
>She lets go and gets in her starting stance.
>"Alright, ready, set, HEYLOOKOVERTHERE!"
>You look to where her hoof was pointing.
"What! What is it?!"
>You turn back to see her already yards ahead of you, way in the lead.
"Oh, its on now."
