Previous ChapterNext ChapterFluttershy's P.O.V
I realized I was laying on some grass, Oh I dreamt the whole thing I thought to my self, maybe I can just drift off to sleep again. As I began to drift off Twilight's voice entered my thoughts. "Here's the last of you pathetic souls," Great it wasn't a dream, I was about to open my eyes when I heard a thud "you can get her after I leave, there is a barrier preventing anyone getting in or out, Rainbow Dash. Anyway she was actually tougher to get you guys out of Ponyville than any of you."
Rainbow Dash was here? "Did you really have to fling Rainbow Dash that hard?" It was Rarity! "The last time I heard, Changlings weren't in season" *zzztttttt-ssszzz*
"Who said I was a changling?"
"What do ya'll sayin' then?" Applejack said in a horse voice, but then fell asleep snoring.
"Do changlings gain the same eyes of the last person they tricked the next time they change? I'm a..."
"Oh guessing games, I love guessing games, Chang-o-matic, flipstoper, " *zzztttttt* Pinkie Pie
"That will teach you not to interrupt me when I'm speaking!" great everypony but Twilight was here and all of them were hurt in away.
I had to help them, she or it or what ever it was, kept hurting my friends. I popped up and shouted, "Who said we were done fighting?" I focused on how angry I was at the Grand Galloping Gala and now as kicked her blur as hard as I could.
"Go Fluttershy!" shouted Rainbow Dash who was the only one awake and looked like she had a broken wing, but in the milli-second glance that I took, the intruder threw orange magic at me, then all I saw was black, all black.
Rainbow's P.O.V
"You all will be in the Everfree Forest...... forever!" There was an orange cloud of smoke and it, the thing was gone.
"Fluttershy was the first one I ran over to shaking her saying, "Fluttershy! Fluttershy!" she didn't wake up She was my friend, I killed her I... I.... I, I did this to her. In a hurry I ran to Rarity, "Rarity, hurry wake up!"
"Yeah what is it?" it took her a moment to remember what just happened, but when she did she popped right up and with an agitated voice cried out, "Were is she?" her horn was ready to fire.
"Rarity, she's gone, but I need your help with Fluttershy!" luckily she loosened up and let her magic die down.
"Fluttershy? won't she just wake up like the rest of us did?"
"She already did!"
"Huh?" I'm confused, what do you mean?"
"It was all my fault, Rarity," I paused my own voice was becoming prickly, "I got her distracted and she got hit with the thing's magic at short range, she won't wake up and... and.. I think she's dead."
"Calm down," how could I, did I? I wasn't going to clam down, my heart began racing, wait, was Rarity's voice shaking? Let's check how she's doing, then, we'll panic or in your case calm down." In normal conditions I would say..... well I wouldn't say anything because, THIS IS NOT NORMAL CONDITIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We began checking Fluttershy's vitals. When we were done Rarity spoke up "She's, fine"
"Can you levitate her and place her some where to make her feel more comfortable?"
"Of course," Rarity said.
"Thanks, now we need to wake the others."
"Yes I guess we do."
"Let's spit up," I had dashed of before she could even say no. I guess I was, no, I know I am rattled up.
Rarity's P.O.V
"Well, that's just perfect." I said thinking out loud. Well she did think that she killed Fluttershy but, well it does make sense. I walked over to Applejack trying to wake her up, I felt guilty though, she had been the first one here and stayed up all night trying to break the barrier that held us, but Pinkie Pie's mane was flat. "Applejack, Applejack, you in there Applejack?"
"Sugarcube?" she looked at me in fear in and in a split second she had pinned me down to the ground. "What did I tell you I was gonna wear to the Grand Galloping Gala?"
"I think your exact words were 'I'll think I'll just spruce up my work duds' is that what you said? Is that what you want to hear?"
Applejack had gotten off me and said, "Sorry sugarcube, it's just that ever since that thing transfigured into you, I.. I... well I guess I'm a bit overprotective of everypony when I'm around you." She looked around at her surroundings, "Lets wake up Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie's mane is flat."
"Yeah, about that," how am I going to break it to her? "Well, we've already, me and Rainbow Dash that is."
"Can you run that by me one more time?"
I wasn't actually sure how to tell her so I put it off, "how about fter we get Pinkie Pie to listen and gets a poufy mane again?"
"Sure," looking around once more she asked, "where's Rainbow Dash anyways?"
"Cooling off probably,"
"lazy bum that's what she is."
"No! That has nothing to do with that!" she was giving me a quizzing look, "Look I think you'll understand why she is after I explain Fluttershy's thing."
"Oh, Okay then," I felt horrible yelling at Applejack but how else was I suppose to react?
Rainbow Dash's P.O.V
The Evergreen forest was beautiful when I didn't have to worry about getting lost, Apple had already told us that you would always end up back where we had gotten teleported to. We all had set up camp so we would always find are way back. I suggested that maybe we could fly our way over everypony thought it was a good idea, that was till Rarity reminded us that my left wing was broken. She has been very helpful lately but still a pain.
Pinkie Pie hadn't felt a doosey coming on so we considered it safe. The only two problems we have at the moment are no food and Mrs. Ponyshifter. I was getting bored walking plainly straight so I took the next move I could to the right. I found myself in a wide open clearing and skidded to a stop, For a second I thought that I saw some thing move, It's just your imagination Rainbow, just your imagination. A soft a breeze blew threw my mane, it was a steady continuous breeze.
I began to sing a song that my mother sung to me when I was younger, Speed, speed, something that I know you love. It might be hard to lay still but soon enough you'll fly through the sky. Faster, faster, faster than you ever have, faster, faster, farther than you ever have. With life and hope as you dream. I will watch over you.
I was beginning to choke on the last few words, and I couldn't continue. The picture of my mother dying right before my eyes during the second verse popped into my head. Was it my fault? I thought, to myself, Was it? the same way that Fluttershy's incident was mine? She had always had the dream to stand up and become a famous Storkbolt since the Wonderbolts weren't yet famous. She always thought that men always looked down upon women. I tried my hardest to be a tomboy so I wouldn't be looked down upon when I finished my mother's dream.
Shaking my head I ran towards the two palm trees to take a snooze but found myself back at camp three quarters away there.
Applejacks P.O.V
"Wow, just wow, Fluttershy did that?" I honestly couldn't believe it, Fluttershy the most kindest pony in the world who couldn't kick a single vase over when she was extremely angry, kicked the thing?
"I know right," Pinkie Pie was bouncing up and down continuously, she is so amazing." Turning towards Rarity she asked what happened next? Did she give he a Ka-pow oh, oh what about a punch, a Ky-Chi move, or a, a, a......."
"No Pinkie," Rarity looked down, "She glanced at Rainbow, and it took her out with a short range blast of magic." Great.
"Oh I... I..... I didn't know I'm sorry" It was bit hard to bite onto but it sorta made sense, Fluttershy had taken on a dragon before when it threatened all of us.
"Sorry bout what?" I jumped bit before I turned 'round to see that it was Rainbow Dash.
"Oh, nothing, sugarcube, come on over here and sit down while we wait for Fluttershy to wake up." She came over towards us without hesitation, but winced at Fluttershy's name. "It's okay we already know." Why did I say that? the thought had popped into my mind the moment after I said it and I was filled with guilt.
"Rarity!" Rainbow said as she began to charge.
"Hold your horse's Nellie!" I said stepping in between the two. "Yall need to calm down."
"What? was I not suppose to tell them?" Rarity asked judgingly.
"No you weren't!" Rainbow Dash's eye color was turning into what looked like dancing flames.
"Why Rainbow? Did you think that we were stupid? That we wouldn't find out that something that happened to her?" she was tearing up I tried to calm down "Beside it wasn't even your fault!" so much for calming down.
"Yes it was, the same way it was with my mom!" tears were flowing down her eyes, "I should of....." her voice trailed off as Fluttershy began to stir.
