"Are they okay, Applejack?" Fluttershy asked looking directly at Applejack with watery eyes.

"Y-yes they're just unconscious," AJ stuttered slightly taken aback by her friend's state. Shaking her head she turned over both of their bodies. "I guess it wasn't Rainbow after all"

A pained groan escaped from Blitz's mouth.

But before Applejack could react a pink blur whizzed past her and the other ponies. Without any hesitation Bubble was at his friend's side. He flinched, and his hair went flat at the sight. There were bruises covering his entire torso. Heat radiated off the open cuts adorning his glorious wings. Bubble burst into tears laying his head against Blitz's chest, crying helpless. A butterscotch colored hoof was placed on his back. He looked back tracing up the hoof to meet a pair of glistening cerulean eyes. He couldn't look away his own eyes opening more the deeper he looked into Fluttershy's eyes. Another groan escaped the lips of his friend but before he could look back down, Fluttershy pulled him into a warm hug. A tear rolling down her cheek. Rarity and Applejack stood idly by watching them embrace each other.

"Please," she choked back tears, "please don't cry I hate it when people cry." After a couple of seconds she broke the hug. "Do you feel better?" Bubble nodded solemnly. "Good sometimes all people need is a hug. My friend Pinkie Pie taught me that."

"Oh my dear Fluttershy are you alright?" Rarity proclaimed shooting her a worried look, as did Applejack.

"Y-yes I'm fine," she replied, "it's just that we still have no idea where Dashie and Pinkie are and now T-twilight is hurt." She sobbed quietly to herself.

Bubble lifted up her chin. "Hey don't cry, I hate it when people cry." Bubble Berry never liked it when anypony cried but seeing Fluttershy cry almost brought him to tears. 'She's always been so fragile hasn't she. She's so adorable.'

"He's right sugercube Twilight will be just fine." Applejack confirmed with a complacent smile. "And what might your name be?" She asked turning to face Bubble.

"Oh! I'm Bubble Berry and this is my friend Rainbow Blitz!" He announced before racing behind his friend and picking up his front two hooves and placing the left hoof to Rainbow's chest. "Yup that's me, the fastest pegasus to ever come out of Cloudsdale!" Bubble boasted doing his best impression of Rainbow.

Blitz began to stir again, this time his eyes fluttering open to the sudden jerk he received, pulling him back into the world of the living. With his vision blurred all he could make out were a few blotches of color here and there, as well as the bright white overcast sky and shadowy green grass. What peeked his interest the most was the unknown force lifting him up. He looked up as the pink blob began to take it's shape. After some slight spinning Bubble's head appeared in all of it's bright pink splendor.

"Hi there!" Bubble smiled.

"Ahhhhhh!!!" Blitz yelled falling back to the ground and grimacing as his skin burned against the rough ground.

"Oh Blitzey your so funny." Bubble Berry giggled.

"Gah!" Another twinge of pain was sent through his body. "Ouch!..... BUBBLE BERRY!!!"

"Oh dear." Rarity mumbled under her breath.

"What?" Bubble responded calmly with a huge grin still plastered on his face.

"Ugh! Never mind." Rainbow said with his eyes closed and a frown firmly set on his face. "Whatever," Blitz said brushing himself off and getting up to his hooves with help from Bubble, "Well anyways I'm Rainbow Blitz what is your name?" He raised his rose tinted eyes up to Applejack. Even if he knew her name he made sure he wouldn't get caught saying anypony elses name without them telling him it first.

Applejack had a slight blush over her freckled cheeks, "W-well um I-I'm Applejack it's a pleasure to make your acquaintance Mr. Rainbow Blitz."

'Huh I wonder if AJ's face has always been that red. It does look cute though with those freckles of hers... Whoa whoa whoa! Hold up brain. Nope! No I did not just think that. I mean Applejack is cute but wait what! No! AJ is just my friend. Right?' He too began to blush shaking his head slightly.

"Oh and this is Fluttershy and-"

"Rarity!" She stepped forward tilting her head up with her eyes closed. "Ponyville's greatest seamstress and Canterlot's very own rising star."

"Uhm righhhht this must be your friend then." Rainbow pointed at Twilight, who still laid peacefully on the ground. Rarity, Applejack, and Fluttershy all noded their heads. "Right then well we better get going it was nice meeting you guys, come on Bubble." He ushered Bubble back towards Ponyville.

"Now wait just a second my good sir!" Rarity shouted out putting her hoof in front of Blitz, stopping him from leaving. "You have just saved the life of our dear friend Twilight. Now do you really expect us to just let you walk off as if nothing happened?" Rarity cocked her eyebrow at the same time eyeing the stallions athletic physique.

"Well er-" Blitz was now blushing.

"Of coarse not now then I personally shall treat you to dinner, after all a handsome stallion like yourself needs to stay fit don't you agree?"

"Uh I don't kno-"

"You're absolutely posa-tutely right! I mean come on when are we not hungry! Especially for cupcakes but who isn't you know!?" Bubble said ecstatic.

"Uhm if you'd like to I saved a barrel of cider from last season and I could whip up some apple pies." Applejack said scratching the back of her head.

"Aww yeah! Cider and apple pies I'm totally there!" Blitz replied a bit more enthusiastically then he thought to.

"That's not really what I had in mind but, none the less it's settled we'll meet at Sweet Apple Acres tonight!"

"Ahem excuse me but aren't you forgetting something?" Twilight complained annoyance lacing her words.

"Oh um right." Rarity smiled guiltily.
