(The lights turn on to reveal Soarin, Spitfire, Spike, Twilight Sparkle, Fluttershy, Rarity and Applejack. They all look worried. Soarin looks the most worried out of the whole group.)

(Applejack)

"Um, shouldn't Rainbow Dash be back by now?"

(Spike)

"I dunno. I'd say something's holding her back. Maybe Pinkie Pie's got a large order to fill at Sugarcube Corner and she needs Rainbow Dash's help."

(Soarin)

"I hope so. I especially hope she's careful."

(Twilight Sparkle)

"Guys, she said she'll see us in a minute. She'll be back soon."

(Spike)

"Twilight, there's one fact I don't think you seem to have acknowledged yet: Rainbow Dash said that, half an hour ago!"

(Twilight Sparkle)

"Well Spike, it's possible that she's still helping Pinkie Pie. She said she had a large order to fill with Mr. & Mrs. Cake."

(Spike)

"That's.....true."

(Rarity)

"Well, of course there's that. But you know how much Rainbow Dash loves Soarin right now. Chances are she'll quickly do her job with Pinkie Pie and then, come back straight here."

(As Rarity says this line, a faint murmur with a slight echo can be heard. However, nopony notices the sound. After Rarity is finished, a clear voice that sounds like Rainbow Dash can be heard.)

(Rainbow Dash's Voice)

"I'm sorry if I did anything to you. I didn't mean it. Please let me go. I promise I won't tell anybody."

(Soarin seems to be the only pony who hears this whilst the others are oblivious.)

(Soarin)

"Uhh, was it just me or did you guys hear a voice?"

(Everypony looks at Soarin confused.)

(Spitfire)

"What voice? I didn't hear anything."

(Soarin)

"You guys didn't hear it?"

(Everypony)

(Simultaneously) "No."

(Soarin)

"It sounded like Rainbow Dash. Just listen carefully. It might come back."

(After a few seconds, another voice comes through. This time, the voice belongs to Pinkie Pie.)

(Pinkie Pie's Voice)

"Well, that's enough reminiscing. It's time to begin."

(Soarin)

"Okay! Tell me you guys heard that!"

(Spitfire)

"No. I didn't hear anything. Just the wind and some birds."

(Soarin takes a seat, clutching his head.)

(Soarin)

"I don't get it. Why am I hearing voices suddenly? I definately heard Dashie's voice. But who was the other voice? It sounds so familiar, yet so-."

(Soarin suddenly clutches his flank, where his cutie marks are.)

"Ow!"

(Spike)

"You okay Soarin?"

(Soarin)

"Guys, you're not gonna believe this, but my flanks are starting to hurt. It's like they've been cut off."

(Fluttershy)

"Which flank?"

(Soarin)

"Both of them."

(He then starts to flutter his left wing.)

(Spitfire)

"Soarin, whatever's going on, it isn't funny. We have a stunt show to perform in 8 hours and you faking injuries isn't helping."

(Soarin)

"This isn't fake Spitfire. For some reason, my left wing has gone numb. As if it's been cut off too."

(Pinkie Pie's voice comes back.)

(Pinkie Pie's Voice)

"Hey Dash, think fast!"

(Soarin looks up.)

(Soarin)

"What? What do you mean 'think fa-'?"

(The instant he says this line, there is a loud crack as Soarin falls off his chair in pain, clutching his right wing, screaming in pain.)

"My wing!"

(The other immediately take notice at this.)

(Spitfire)

"Soarin! Are you alright? What just happened?"

(Soarin)

"My wing! It hurts! It's like the Great Celestia has torn it clean from my back! Speaking of which, there's now a burning in it too. Did some supernatural pony replaced the blood that runs in my veins and arteries with lemon juice?!"

(Spitfire)

"Oh sweet Celestia."

(She turns to face the others.)

"In all my years of being a Wonderbolt, I've never seen anything like this."

(To Soarin)

"Is there anything we can get you? You know, to help with your back?"

(Soarin)

"Yeah! Somepony get me an ice pack! Anything to stop it hurting!"

(Spike runs off stage and comes back with an ice pack. Soarin rips off the upper half of his costume. Spike then runs up behind Soarin and places the ice pack on his back.)

(Spike)

"I don't see any scratches. No bruises. No burns. Nothing."

(Spitfire)

"Keep it on though. He may be catching a disease or something."

(Soarin)

"Okay, that's sure to work."

(Twilight Sparkle)

"At least now he's calmed dow-."

(Before he can finish his sentence, there's a loud banging of a nail being hit with a hammer as Soarin falls over, screaming in pain, clutching the seam between his front legs and hooves.)

"BY LUNA'S HORN! MY HOOVES ARE HURTING ME!"

(Spitfire)

(Yelling to somepony off stage) "Somepony get a medic out here!"

(Rainbow Dash's Voice)

(Over Soarin's screaming) "PLEASE STOP! PLEASE, PLEASE STOP!"

(As soon as it ends, Soarin stops screaming and slowly stands up.)

(Soarin)

"Okay, my hooves still hurt but I think I'll be okay. I just heard Dashie's voice again. I have the feeling-."

(There's suddenly the sound of a loud crackle of electricity and Soarin falls on his back and begins flailing & convulsing uncontrollably, his eyes rolled back in his skull and his lips foaming, showing similar signs of an epileptic seizure.)

(Fluttershy)

"SOMEPONY HELP SOARIN! I THINK HE'S HAVING A SEIZURE!"

(Spitfire)

(Yelling off stage) "FOR CELESTIA'S SAKE, WHERE IS THAT BUCKING MEDIC?!"

(The others (including more Wonderbolts) run up and try to hold his legs and head in place. After a few minutes of this, Soarin suddenly stops.)

(Spitfire)

"Okay Soarin, I think you should really sit this stunt show out."

(Soarin)

"No Spitfire! I'm okay! Really! These things can happen to anypony."

(Twilight Sparkle)

"Sure, ponies feel pain in their hooves and flanks, but they don't suddenly freak out over pains in wings or break out into a epileptic fits!"

(Soarin is aided to a near by seat.)

(Spitfire)

"Well, now what? The stunt show's in 8 hours and Soarin's not feeling well."

(Applejack)

"I hope Rainbow Dash gets back here soon. She could take his place."

(Spitfire)

"Okay, that'll do. I'll try and contact Sugarcube Corner. Fluttershy, could you look after Soarin just until we get back?"

(Fluttershy)

"Oh certainly. I find it easy to take care of animals so Soarin shouldn't be too hard."

(Spitfire)

"Good. Call me if you think he's in danger. everypony else, come with me."

(Everypony but Fluttershy & Soarin leave the stage.)

(Fluttershy)

"So um, what's it like being a Wonderbolt?"

(Soarin)

"It's pretty cool. You get to do all sorts of stunts and things, as you may have seen me do with Rainbow Dash."

(Fluttershy)

"Yes, I used to watch your stunt shows all the time when I was a filly. I would join myself but it just looks so scary."

(Soarin)

"Well, it is at first. But then you get used to it. It's like goin' on a roller coaster. Scary when you first see it, but once you get it over with, it can become the best thing in your entire life."

(Fluttershy)

"Thank you Soarin. But I could never do the kind of things you, Spitfire and the rest of the Wonderbolts do."

(Soarin)

"Ah, trust me. You can do anything if you set your mind and your heart to it."

(Fluttershy)

"Oh thank you Soarin!"

(Fluttershy goes over to hug Soarin again, but he pushes her away, reminding her of the extreme pains he suffered a couple of minutes ago. Remembering this, she backs away.)

(Soarin)

"You're welcome Fluttershy. Say, there's a radio on that table over there. You're more than welcome to try and find some music if you want to. Maybe it'll take my mind off my pains."

(Fluttershy then goes over to a near-by radio. She then turns it on and tries to find a station, but she finds nothing but static. Over the static, Pinkie's voice can be heard again.)

(Pinkie Pie's Voice)

"Looks like I got my 'I' on you, Dash."

(After this line, Soarin starts clutching his chest and stomach in pain, breathing heavily. Fluttershy instantly notices this and rushes to his side.)

(Fluttershy)

"Soarin! Are you alright? Spitfire! Guys! Get in here!"

(Spitfire and the rest of the group come back on stage.)

(Spitfire)

"Soarin! Are you okay?"

(Rarity)

"Are you hurt?"

(Soarin falls onto his stomach.)

(Soarin)

"What's going on?! This isn't normal! My chest feels like it's being cut open and my organs feel like they're being ripped out by some malicious deity! Please! Somepony help me!"

(Suddenly, Soarin goes quiet, to the shock of the group. He slowly stands up, seemingly disorientated.)

"Wha-? W-What just happened?"

(Spike)

"You just yelled out that your chest felt cut open and your organs were being removed."

(Soarin)

"I don't understand."

(Applejack)

"We all came out and saw ya clutchin' your stomach and chest as if your organs were fallin' out."

(Soarin)

"Falling out?"

(Spitfire)

"That's it, I'm calling the Ponyville Hospital."

(She's about to leave the stage when-.)

(Soarin)

"NO!"

(The sudden outburst startles Spitfire and the rest of the group. Soarin's eyes start tearing up as he throws out a hoof to Spitfire.)

"Please! Don't hurt me! Don't leave me here!"

(Rarity)

"What are you talking about Soarin? Spitfire wouldn't hurt you."

(Soarin)

"Spitfire's not here. There's only...her."

(Spitfire)

"What are you talking about Soarin?"

(Twilight Sparkle)

"Wait Spitfire, I think Soarin's having an out-of-body experience. I read about this kind of thing in one of my books in the library. I don't think Soarin's with us anymore. If we communicate with him in some manner, we could find out where Rainbow Dash is."

(She walks over and stands in front of Soarin, who is still scared by something, clutching the back of his head in his hooves and facing the ground. His breathing has also now become shaky.)

"Soarin? I want you to calm down and look at me."

(Soarin doesn't comply. Twilight Sparkle raises her forehooves and places them onto his cheeks, making him look up at her.)

"Alright. I'd like to ask you a few questions. First of all, where are you Soarin?"

(Soarin)

(Calmed down but still shaky) "I-I'm in a dark room. There's bl-bl-blood and gore everywhere. I can see severed heads on a table crafted from the skin and bones of some unfortunate pony souls. I can see the words 'Life is a party', made out of, what looks like, blood red pony hides. I think I see a griffon's skull on the table. There's something familiar about this place, but I don't exactly know what. As for the surroundings, it's like if Discord was given a selection of power tools to use against the citizens of Equestria."

(Twilight Sparkle)

"Can you see Discord anywhere?"

(Soarin)

"No, I don't. He's still trapped in his pose in his grey rock prison. This is somepony who's different. This is somepony who's a lot worse. It's.....her."

(Twilight Sparkle)

"Who's 'her'? Who's there with you?"

(Soarin)

"She's somebody I recognise. But it's not the same pony. It's, it's P-."

(Soarin suddenly clamps his eyes shut tightly and throws his forearms over the back of his head. When he speaks, he startles the group once again.)

(Soarin)

(Screaming) "NO! NO PLEASE! NOT THE THROAT! NOT THE THROAT! AH! SHE'S CUTTING MY SKULL! SOMEPONY! HELP ME!"

(Soarin's pleas then become unintelligible before he throws a forehoof out and swings blindly at the air, as if trying to block his face from something, before he suddenly breaks down into a screaming fit.)

(Spitfire)

"Okay! He needs a doctor! Bad! He may even need some kind of surgery to bring his brain back into Equestria!"

(Twilight Sparkle)

"No Spitfire wait! There's something I wish to try and now seems like the perfect time. Okay Soarin, I'm going to count to three! And when I do that, you're gonna be taken out of whatever nightmare you're in and back with the rest of us. Okay? One. Two. Three!"

(Upon 'three', Soarin goes quiet and motionless, his head in his hooves. Everypony approaches him.)

"Soarin? Are you okay?"

(Soarin suddenly looks up.)

(Soarin)

"Oh no. Something's wrong! Dashie! She's in grave danger!"

(Before anypony can react, Soarin flies off stage in a panic.)

(Applejack)

"What the hay was that all about?"

(Spitfire)

"I don't know Applejack. In all my years as a Wonderbolt, I've never seen Soarin go through something like this. I want to thank you Twilight for what you did too."

(Twilight Sparkle)

"It's not a problem. Princess Celestia taught me how to control somepony's out-of-body experiences when they're under stress."

(She looks at where Soarin left the stage.)

"All we can do at this moment right now, is hope Soarin recovers from whatever curse has fallen on him."

(The lights fade out.)

(End of Scene 4.)
Okay, did you guys miss me? I've given it some time and I feel as though it's time to upload Scene 4.

For those people who don't understand what Soarin went through in his scene, basically the injuries Soarin suffers are the exact same injuries Rainbow Dash suffers in 'Cupcakes' at the hands of Pinkie Pie. From her cutie marks and her wings being cut off to the fatal slashes to her throat and skull.

And since this ties in with the original 'Cupcakes' story, Soarin is experiencing all of Rainbow Dash's pain, including a brief out-of-body experience as Twilight Sparkle has mentioned.

Anyway, break out the tissues when the next scene's released. chances are it's gonna be the most depressing thing you people will ever read.

Oh, and if you would like some help imaging Rainbow Dash & Pinkie Pie's voices, listen to the voices from Sanctuary from Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 3.
