*Above the #GrandGallopingGala2023, Rainbow sits on a dark little cloud. As much as she wanted to spend time with her friends, instead, she watches, mask on, from far away.*

"Aww, heck, looks like everyone's having an awesome time...." *Rainbow sulks a bit, glancing over at her teammates having an amazing time, at the others enjoying the always good food."

"Well, there's next year, Rainbow, when you're not si-sippfppf!" *Rainbow immediately darts away, flying home at top speed....*

*She stands nearby, leaning against one of the trees near the gates to the Canterlot Palace, in view of @FleetingStep's. She's messing with a small technological device, whistling a song.*
