"Hello? Twilight! Applejack?" Rainbow Dash's yell echoed through the air. She had been up since 12:30 looking for her friends, who had been missing all day. She shook nervously, and began to talk to herself. "Okay, Dash. It's going to be fine, I-I'm sure they'll turn up some time..." She clamped her teeth down on the lantern that was hanging out of her mouth. Then, Rainbow Dash came upon something very peculiar. A large marble wall stood tall to her left, but on it that appeared to be made out of rainbow paint was the word "Cookies". She walked up to it to investigate. She rubbed a bit on the edge of her hoof and tasted it. Rainbow expected a foul, paint-like taste, but instead, it was rather sweet and sugary. "Icing?" All of a sudden, the soft clopping of hooves bounced off the wall. A groggily moan in a familiar voice mumbled, "Coooookiiiiiessss..." Rainbow Dash immediately recognized the voice as Pinkie Pie's. Then, four more voices groaned all at the same time. Rainbow Dash almost fainted. Pinkie, Rarity, Fluttershy, Applejack, and Twilight all limped into the radius of her lantern's light. All their irises had shrunk down to the size of pennies, their fur and hair had saturated into a tint of grey, but the thing that caught Rainbow's eye the most was their mouths were covered in rainbow icing, the same that was painted on the wall. "Umm... Are you okay, girls?" She could then tell by the look on their faces and their moans that they were NOT okay. "C-c'mon, this isn't funny!" She said hopefully, now thinking this was just a prank. But the girls didn't stop. They kept walking towards her. Rainbow had nothing else to do, so she screamed in agony, hoping somebody would hear her. She figured not, so she just flew away, leaving the groaning ponies behind.
