Lost

Rainbow Dashes P.O.V

"Fluttershy? You up?" I was both happy that she was alive but worried. What if she hates me for what I did? What if she doesn't wanna be friends any more? I quickly shook the thought out of my head fiercely.

She at first only answered in a groan but eventually spoke intelligently "Twilight?"

"No,"

Fluttershy jumped up within a second took a glance and fell to the floor, "I.... I... What happened?" She was looking up at me in huge eyes.

"Well what do you remember?" I asked hoping I wouldn't have to tell her anything.

"Everything, what I meant was before that." her voice had come down to a whisper.

"Well, I'm going to get some firewood" Rarity I suppose was upset that nopony asked her if she was okay, but asked everyone if they were.

Thankfully AJ spoke up and as she did we all circled around a pile of ashes. "Well, I was selling apples at the marketplace when I had Rarity tell me that the barn burning I began to run as fast as I could but Rarity said that she wanted to help by teleporting us there. I said sure but I thought that it was more of a Twilight thing but it wasn't even Rarity. It was the thing you've already encountered."

"May I ask who was next?" but after that she looked as if she was about to kick herself. "If you don't mind that is," Same old Fluttershy.

"That would be me," Rarity said appearing with a pile of wood in her grasp of magic.

"How did you do that?" she paused "appear out of thin air that is."

"Oh, I guess I forgot to tell ya that there is a magical force field around the place that makes us always end up here."

"So we set up camp here" I said finishing Applejack's sentence.

"I'm gonna lay down if that's okay with ya'll" Apple Jack continued.

"Sure you need some sleep just don't sleep all day, I want to get some sleep tonight." It wasn't hard to tune out Apple Jacks loud snoring, but I could still hear the others.

"How come Apple Jack is so tired?"

"The force field that she found, she spent all night last night trying to break it." Rarity answered in a motherly tone.

"Oh,"

"I know it must be horrible on her completion," I could tell she was trying to get Fluttershy to feel better by acting normal but she wasn't acting at all normal. She was starting a fire, there were some twigs in her mane and had a smug of dirt on her right back leg. "Anyway," she said beginning her story. "I was in my boutique designing a hat for a unicorn that was new to Ponyville, she said that she liked it so much she wanted me to give her advice on her closet so I complied. She said that she would teleport us there so I willingly went there with her or should I say here. I don't know how but I some how fell asleep during the teleportation which is weird since I feel a zap whenever Twilight teleports us somewhere."

"Don't chya mean an electrical discharge?" Great now I'm the egghead I thought to myself.

I was lucky cause nopony noticed except Fluttershy who spoke up "Oh," she looked down at her hooves, "Do you know what she meant by, when she said that I was the hardest?"

This statement scared me, what did it mean? "I don't know." But how did she not fall asleep instantly? I mean everypony else did.

"Why darling, I thought you noticed that something was off when I didn't show up for our daily spa night? That was how you were able to... well you know." She paused when she saw Fluttershy's facial expression, "I told her that she wouldn't be able to hide us because you would think we were gone!"

"But you were there and you offered to take me home."

Finally understanding Fluttershy's expression there was silence. Hey, I got sick of it so I spoke up, "I think I was next, right?"

I looked over at Rarity as she shook her head. "No but when she came with you knocked out I had shouted out our spa time."

"Yeah, well before that, 'Fluttershy'" I said using air quotes on Fluttershy's name, "told me that she had gotten over her fear of heights and wanted to race. I should have known it wasn't her but I couldn't refuse the challenge. Stupid, stupid me. What should have given it away was the fact that she was able to keep up with me. Even during the sonic rainboom! Well I didn't finish the sonic rainboom because I woke up to see Apple Jack and Rarity hanging over me, but the last thing I remember was the middle of it."

"So how long has everypony been here? If you don't mind that is." Fluttershy asked, but I didn't even know that answer.

"Apple Jack has been here two whole days staying up the past every night trying to break this field. I was here since yesterday helping her but fell asleep in the progress, Rainbow Dash was present since this afternoon and.."

"ME! for twelve whole hours!" Pinkie Pie jumped in, "I was told it was your family reunion party today so I flashed over there with Twilight but I woke up here, sorry that I didn't make it to your party."

"There wasn't one but it's okay." I don't know if it was just me or if Fluttershy winced at the word family, but I put that to the side of my mind. It was time to plan our escape!
