Wow…this story is going along so well that I fear it will never end! XD But sadly, like all stories, they must have an ending :( And lol no, I'm not talking that this chapter will be the last, there's still more I wanna do to this story before I wrap it up. Like there's gunna be more of an Equestria Girl reference an then there's the sparks so I'll need to wrap them up somehow…So as you can see, there's still so much to do on this story. But no, I don't want it to be 50 chapters long like my other story did; that one made it up to 55 chapters! O_O And that's my longest story yet.
I'm getting off topic, so as you all know, Rainbow's back! But, how much has she changed? Find out in chapter 28 of Never Existed! ^^

Applejack felt a sudden chill down her spine as she immediately recognized that voice. The memories were coming back to her all at once; the good and the bad times she had with Rainbow Dash and most of them turned out to be good memories which made Applejack smile in rejoice and turn around with tears of happiness in her eyes.
"Rainbow? You don't know how long I've been trying to find you again."
The Pegasus came out of the shadows and ultimately revealed her face which was indeed the very same of Rainbow Dash's, unless it was a clone AJ thought. She held an angered and threatening expression on her face as her head was lowered more closely to her neck to almost cover her magenta eyes.
"Do you really think I'm going to fall for that?" She asked in a threatening voice. "You know that I'll never forgive you."
Applejack's happiness was still contained peacefully as Applejack bean to approach Rainbow, but the Pegasus moved backwards towards the arched entrance of the room. And she kept an angered expression as she did so.
"Rainbow, I know I seem a little different to you. But that's because of Twilight."
"Who? It's that purple alicorn snooping downstairs isn't it?" She asked still sounding threatening as she lifted a hoof and turned her face to the door as well as opening her perfect feathered wings with caution to make sure that she'd be prepared and cautious.
"Uh, yes…but please, she ain't snoopin' around; she and a few others are-"
"Others?" Rainbow shouted in astonishment. "Alright, what are you guys after?" she demanded as she lowered her head closer towards the ground and exhaled quickly through her nose.
Applejack felt a little uneasy by this point, and knew Rainbow Dash all too well to try and figure out a way in order to calm her down. So she decided to go with her gut and just go along with what Rainbow dash could be planning to do.
"After you." AJ finally answered.
Rainbow's posture grew straight all of a sudden in astonishment. "Really? Well, why exactly?" She asked while raising one eyebrow and glaring at Applejack.
"We need you, Rainbow Dash." Twilight told from behind as she had overheard some of the conversation as she walked closer to them.
Twilight could see that Rainbow was stunned to hear that voice, she seemed almost as still as a chair as soon as she heard that voice. Twilight noticed that her head began to lower while shaking lightly but in anger.
"You! You're behind all this!" She suddenly exclaimed in a loud voice as she turned around and made a scene in front of Twilight.
Twilight knew that she had already been through this, so she was going to handle it calmly and hope for the best.
"Now calm down Rainbow, I know exactly what you're saying and I understand that you don't believe me. But if you come with us then trust me that this will be all over."
Applejack knew that this wouldn't even begin touch the convinced side of Rainbow; she saw the expression on her face. Rainbow's face looked a little scrunched up and confused.
"Do you really think that I'm going to fall for that? I'm not that stupid you know."
Twilight smiled with her eyes closed. "Oh I know you're not stupid. I know for a fact that you love reading."
Rainbow's magenta eyes widened in shock. "Excuse me? I hate books! If I ever see one I swear it'll be ripped to shreds within seconds!" She announced stomping her front hoof hard on the ground.
Twilight remembered that Rainbow hadn't read books yet, since she didn't necessarily exist. Though Twilight felt guilty and regretful whenever she thought of the words 'never existed'. But then she remembered that if Athanasia didn't exist then none of this would be happening right now, Twilight wouldn't be reliving the meeting of her friends over again.
Not long later, Fluttershy had entered the room and not far behind was Rarity.
"We couldn't find-oh, you found her." Rarity pointed out as soon as she saw the rainbow coloured mane from a blue coated Pegasus.
Rainbow looked over at Applejack to see her expression when she saw Rarity, and felt confused when she saw that AJ's expression didn't decrease in anger and annoyance but it remained the same as it was even before Rarity's voice was heard.
"What?" Applejack asked Rainbow in worry and confusion as she saw the Pegasus's head turn to Rarity and then herself several times while holding a confused expression.
"Um, why aren't you angry at Rarity? Usually you'd groan and roll your eyes by this point." Rainbow stated feeling sure of herself.
Applejack just smiled and walked past Rainbow while she watched in confusion and suspense as she saw the earth pony walk right next to Rarity and putting her hoof around Rarity. She gasped in astonishment and almost fainted ta the sight of it. Twilight and Fluttershy felt a little confused at first, but then understood why she was feeling like this.
"Wha-no, you can't be!" She exclaimed pointing a hoof at the pair.
"We sure as sugar are!" AJ pointed out as she looked at Rarity and smiled, Rarity smiled also in reply.
Rainbow was so dumbfounded and astonished that she couldn't take it anymore. Too much had happened to her in their very short space of time and she needed to get out of here.
"That's it, I'm outta here!" She called out as she zipped off through the door and out the window off into the distance as her body began to shrink in size as she flew through the sky further and further away from her house.
Meanwhile, the others were already all very aware of what Rainbow was doing, and Twilight was the first to dash out the door and chase after Rainbow by flying with all the amount of strength that she had left in her.
Her wings ached like hell and her energy was thinning quickly as she tried her best to catch up to the fast Pegasus, she had almost forgotten how fast Rainbow Dash was. She panted harshly as the wind blew through her mane and began to dry out her eyes, which made her almost unable to see clearly. She had eventually lost sight of the blue coated Pegasus and decided to land carefully on the ground.
But then she had remembered that only Fluttershy would be able to catch up to her since the others were unable to get back down to the ground. So Twilight tried once again to fly up and get back to them but her wings had grown ever so tired that even when she opened them to be prepared for flight, they began to cramp and ache worse.
She sighed and then began to run as fast as she could back to Rainbow's house in order to get the other wingless ponies back onto the ground safely and then find Rainbow Dash. Otherwise they would never be able to return Equestria back to its normal state.
"This is really hard for me to do all on my own." She told herself as she lowered her head to face the ground as she panted softly as she ran closer and closer towards Rainbow's house.
Back at Rainbow's house, Fluttershy was worried to leave the others, she had hoped that Twilight would be able to return and have Rainbow by her side and Rainbow be willingly able to help them all save Equestria from the state in which it was currently in.
"Just go down there and see if she's coming back a way in which she couldn't fly." Applejack suggested pointing outside and down towards the ground.
"Now, why would she do that?" Pinkie asked sounding annoyed and sarcastic.
"Because, she may have tired herself out as soon as she reached Rainbow Dash and is now tired to fly back here." Rarity explained to Pinkie using hoof gestures.
"Whatever." Pinkie replied while rolling her eyes in sarcasm.
"I just hope Rainbow is able to come with us. I'm just not sure how she'll actually help us and be on our side. I've known her to stand by herself ever since…well, you know." Applejack explained while fading out as she finished her sentence.
Fluttershy felt worried about all this, maybe she had to go down there just in case. But she was unsure about what she really had to d since there was a 50/50 chance that Twilight would come back either way with Rainbow Dash. So she stayed put until Twilight would return presumably with Rainbow Dash.
It was around 5 minutes or so later that they all heard the call of Twilight from the ground below. The four of them rushed outside to the sound of Twilight's' voice and then began to call down in reply.
"Twilight, is Rainbow with you?" Applejack was the first to ask this question.
"I lost her when my eyes dried out, Fluttershy I need you to bring them all down here so we're able to find Rainbow Dash." Twilight called specifically to Fluttershy.
"Oh…I'm not sure if I can handle it…" Fluttershy replied feeling uneasy and nervous.
"Pfft, I don't think she can either." Pinkie replied while standing on her back hooves in order to fold her arms in sarcasm.
"Pinkie, why must you act out of character in a situation like this?" Rarity asked sounding annoyed.
"Because I can!"
Twilight called out once more to Fluttershy in order to give her faith.
"You can do it, I know you can! When I was lifting those ponies I was letting you do most of the work without you even realizing it!" Twilight called.
Fluttershy's eyes widened in astonishment, she thought that Twilight was only trying to convince her that she as strong enough to carry a pony the same size as her back down to the ground.
"I don't know if I really can…" She hesitated with a hoof near her face as she explained shyly.
Hmm…I wonder if she can or not. I'm guessing most of you will say 'well, duh :P ' But who knows? *giggles* Anyway, sorry for the late update, I've been getting an awful does of writer's block and I'm thinking of actually quitting, but deep down I definitely don't want to disappoint any of you. So I won't quit ;)
