The Strange Switch

      Rarity and Applejack walked down their assigned path. I was a little brighter down this one, and there were birds chirping. The birds flew towards Rarity thinking that she was Fluttershy. She tried to shoo away the birds, but they were gathering around her head. Rarity screamed for them to go away. She ran to get them off. In the meantime Applejack was rolling on the ground cracking up.

When the birds finally went away Rarity looked at Applejack. "Get off of the ground! You already messed up my coat from the rope. I don't need my mane messed up!"

"Have y'all looked in a mirror? You messed Fluttershy's body up and you're yelling at me?" Applejack's comeback made herself snicker.

"Yes you're right," Rarity responded. She jumped on top of Applejack, and started to attack. Applejack flipped Rarity over easily and started to walk again.

"You don't want to hurt yourself," Applejack chuckled.

Rarity stood up and followed her friend with a smile. They kept walking until they reached a big bunch of trees. When they got past the trees they saw a beach. The ocean was beautiful...On most days. This day however the waves were dangerously high and rough.

"Today looks like a perfect day to swim," Applejack joked. The two laughed and sat down on the sand. "The others might end up here too. We might as well wait."

Meanwhile Pinkie pie and Fluttershy were walking down their assigned path. This path was darker and no animals were in their field of vision. Fluttershy was crawling through holding onto Pinkie pie's (Spike's) tail. If you were walking up to them it would look like this: Applejack crawling on the ground with Fluttershy's saddlebags on. Then you would see her holding onto Spike's tail in fear.

"This isn't so bad!" Pinkie pie shouted happily. Fluttershy looked up and shook her head. "There's no need to be scared Flutters!" Fluttershy shivered even though Pinkie tried to comfort her.

"Well...There are.... Unknown things.... In this forest...." Fluttershy cried softly to Pinkie pie.

"There's nothing to be scared of," Pinkie pie reassured.

Soon enough a stick fell on Fluttershy’s head. She screamed and ran for her life. Pinkie pie ran after her in a hurry. She found Fluttershy stuck in a bush.

"H-help," Fluttershy stuttered.

"Fluttershy, you're in a bush!" Pinkie pie was cracking up ignoring the fact that her friend was stuck.

"Um can you help?" Fluttershy asked.

Pinkie pie nodded and pulled her out. They both fell and went past a big bunch of trees. Fluttershy screamed in midair while Pinkie whooped and hollered. They fell with a crash on top of Applejack and Rarity.

"Oh hey y'all," Applejack greeted.

"Where are Twilight, Rainbow Dash, and Spike?" Fluttershy asked nervously.

"They're still going down the middle path," Rarity explained.

"Then we will wait!" Pinkie pie exclaimed.

Meanwhile the last three were walking down their assigned path. Rainbow Dash groaned looking at whom she was stuck with which didn't make her too happy.

"Twilight, why did you want me to go with you and Spike?" Rainbow Dash asked.

Twilight looked at her feeling annoyed already. "You have my magic, I don't want it going off again like before. No thanks to you."

"To me?" Rainbow Dash yelled.

"Yes, you were controlling my horn," Twilight responded calmly.

"I didn't do it purposely!"

"You're still using it!"

"Stop!" Spike shouted at them. "You guys should be ashamed of yourselves. You guys are best friends! You don't need to fight like this!"

Rainbow Dash started to walk away from the group. She was getting fed up with Twilight. Rainbow Dash kept walking until she realized she was on the edge of a cliff. She looked over to see the other four sitting on a beach laughing.

"Rainbow Dash you jerk!" Twilight hollered. She was running up the cliff to where Rainbow Dash was.

By this time the others were walking towards the two. Twilight ran towards Rainbow Dash quickly. Rainbow Dash jumped out of the way and Twilight fell.

"Twilight!" all of the ponies shouted (including Spike).

Twilight screamed before she hit the water with a splash. They stood in shock looking at the ocean. Rainbow Dash jumped off the cliff after her.

"Rainbow Dash no!" The others tried to stop her, but it was too late.

"Wha-what do we do?" Fluttershy cried.

"There's only one thing to do." Applejack replied. She took off her hat and looked at the ocean. She jumped off and closed her eyes tightly.

"She's right," Rarity sighed. She led the others into the ocean.

"Yes we're going swimming!" Pinkie pie yelled while she fell.

"It's going to be much fun!" Spike screamed.

All of them yelled as they fell. Saving their friends was important, and they would do whatever it took. Rainbow Dash and Twilight were good friends of theirs, so they must be saved.
