Rainbow Dash, now almost a fully grown mare lifted up a flower pot. "Aha!"she cried, then saw that there was nothing beneath it. "Hmmm, well I guess Tank's not hiding here then,"she bluffed loudly. Her pet tortoise was in fact only a few feet away, but Rainbow pretended not to notice him. She turned around and Tank sniggered in his hiding place, thinking he was safe. Suddenly the cyan pegasus whipped around and grabbed him. "Gotcha!"she giggled,"That's twenty two for me." She was referring to the number of times she had won the hide-and-seek game they were playing. "How about twenty three out of forty five?"Rainbow asked Tank, who shook his head. "Well what do you want to do then?"she demanded. The tortoise slowly lifted his leg and pointed to the window. He wanted to go outside. "Yeah, I don't think so. I like it here and so do you,"Rainbow insisted, rather unconvincingly though. The tortoise rolled his eyes. "Oh come on Tank,"the pegasus groaned,"It's not so bad here..."

"7 A.M THE USUAL MORNING LINE-UP

STARTING THE CHORES, I SWEEP

'TIL THE FLOORS ARE CLEAN

POLISH AND WAX, DO LAUNDRY AND

MOP AND SHINE UP.

SWEEP AGAIN AND BY THEN

IT'S LIKE 7:15.

SO I'LL READ A BOOK"

She grabbed her favourite Daring Doo volume off her bookshelf.

"OR MAYBE TWO OR THREE.

I'LL ADD A FEW MORE PAINTINGS TO MY GALLERY.

I'LL PLAY GUITAR, KNIT AND COOK

AND BASICALLY,

WONDER WHEN WILL MY LIFE BEGIN?

THEN, AFTER LUNCH IT'S PUZZLES

AND DARTS AND BAKING

PAPER-MACHE, A BIT OF BALLET

AND CHESS

POTTERY AND VENTRILOQUY, CANDLE-MAKING

THEN I'LL STRETCH, MAYBE SKETCH

TAKE A CLIMB, SEW A DRESS AND I'LL RE-READ THE BOOKS.

IF I HAVE TIME TO SPARE, I'LL PAINT THE WALLS SOME MORE

I'M SURE THERE'S ROOM SOMEWHERE.

AND THEN I'LL BRUSH AND BRUSH

AND BRUSH AND BRUSH AND BRUSH MY HAIR!"

Both her mane and tail were 6O feet long, so it took hours to come them both through. But it also meant that Rainbow could fling her mane and tail over the wooden beams and use her them as a pulley and lever contraption so she could paint the highest places of the wall, or she could use her hair as a hammock or rope. Now Rainbow simply trotted in circles around the floor flinging her mane and tail out, bit by bit until she stood in the centre of the room surrounded by a sea of mane and tail that looped around the circumference of the room at least thirty times.

"STUCK IN THE SAME PLACE I'VE ALWAYS BEEN.

AND I'LL KEEP WONDERING AND WONDERING

AND WONDERING…

WONDERING, JUST WHEN WILL MY LIFE BEGIN?"

Rainbow Dash then went to her only window and gazed out of it dreamily.

"TOMORROW NIGHT, THE LIGHTS WILL APPEAR,

JUST LIKE THEY DO MY BIRTHDAY, EACH YEAR.

WHAT IS IT LIKE OUT THERE, WHERE THEY GLOW?

NOW THAT I'M OLDER, MOTHER JUST MIGHT LET ME GO…"

Meanwhile, in the kingdom of Cobrona, the pegasus fugitives were crawling along the roof of the royal palace. "Wow!"cried one of them. He was the smallest one of the lot and had a dark blue mane, light blue body, emerald eyes and a yellow lightning bolt with wings as his cutie mark. "I could get used to a view like this,"he marvelled, surveying the ground below. "Flynn, come on,"his friend, Hoops called impatiently. Hoops had a dark brown mane, light brown body and a cutie mark of three basketballs. "Hold on. Yep, I'm used to it,"Flynn grinned,"Guys, I want a castle." "We do this job, and you can buy your own castle,"his other partner in crime, Dumbell smirked his azure eyes sparkling, his cutie mark was a dumbell (obviously) and he had a greyish brown body and light amberish grey mane. The trio stealthily flew off the roof and through a window towards the palace guards, one of them sneezed. "Hay fever?"asked Soarin, he was inches above the guard's head, holding out a handkerchief. "Yeah. Huh? Wait, wait! Hey, wait!"the guards yelled chasing after the three pegasus ponies as they flew past them and down a corridor. "Can't you picture me in a castle of my own. I certainly can,"Soarin sighed wistfully,"Oh the things we've seen and it's only eight in the morning! Gentlecolts, this is gonna be a very big day!"
