Apartment:
Tornado Dash and Sun Rae,
Equestria needs your help. All of the magiks of friendship have been lost since our parting with the Elements of Harmony. Please come to Canterlot immediately.
Your Loyal Princess,
Princess Luna
I read the letter, skimming through and looking up to Tornado in horror. His blue and white hair blow in the wind, while my lime green and pink hair is tied back in a Dutch Braid. Whenever he looks at me, I could swear he reads my mind every time.
"We have a problem. Let's go to Canterlot to discuss with Luna," he says, trying to cheer me up.
"Tornado, this is more than just a problem. This could end the world. But I agree, we need to go to Luna."
Canterlot Castle; Throne Room:
We bow down to our princess as we enter the gloomy room. I always hated being here. After Celestia died, after I was dumped by Night Shade. Chills ran up my spine as I looked at the weakened princess. I look at Tornado, then at her, then Tornado again. I didn't know what to do. I make a final glance at Princess Luna, and notice her beckoning us closer.
"Tornado Dash. Sun Rae. Thank you for coming on such short notice. Please follow me," she says as we proceed to her throne.
We obey immediately, making no sudden movements.
"Princess, where are we going?" I ask. Breaking the disturbing silence.
"We need to go to the moon. I have a base up there with a few of my needed subjects just in case of war. Sun Rae, would you like to be flown, or spell cast there? And Tornado Dash, fly or magic?"
"I prefer magic. I'm not much of a flyer your highness."
"Magic. I don't like heights. Unless it's a tree. But we don't have much of those anymore."
She nods her head and begins to make her hands glow. The light blue aura around them is also around me and TD. After trying really hard to make the process go fast, she teleports all three of us to the moon. The building was so beautiful compared to Equestria today. The ancient marble columns and oak wood flooring.
"Princess, where are we?" I ask.
"We are in the main hall of my old castle when I lived here on the moon. Follow me."
We obey once more, and follow her into a larger, more messy room. Holding only four or five subjects that look much more youthful then they may be. Big Macintosh, Derpy Hooves, Trixie, and Spike. I glance into their weary, tired eyes and see that they haven't slept for more than six hours. I don't even think that's good for a teenage dragon.
"This is my team. What I have left of them anyways. They can't fight because of injuries and what not. That's why we need you both. Come. Sit down and relax. We need you at your strongest," says the night blue haired princess.
"What do we have that's so important to the world of Equestria? We only have each other," I ask.
"My dear Sun Rae. You only just answered your own question. You have each other. That's all you need. Each other."
I look at her blankly, not quite understanding her answer. And once again, TD explains.
"Rae, she means that since we have each other, we can destroy the darkness, no offence, with it. We're like, two thirds of the E.H.'s. That's what she means." He looks at the princess. "What can we do?
"Mend the lost souls and start a colony with them. I will give you further instructions once you have completed that task. Good luck."
And with that, she sent us back to the dirty sidewalks outside of our apartment building.
Apartment; Living Room:
I was getting really dizzy with all the pacing I was doing. Trying to figure out what she meant by mending lost souls and starting a colony with them. Who were these lost souls?
"Can you please stop pacing. You're making me sick of watching you walk in fricken circles Rae."
I glare at him. "Then stop looking at me. I'm under pressure."
"From what?"
"She tells us to raise the dead and start a colony with them. I'm not even a unicorn! Neither are you! Now how the crap are we supposed to do that without magic huh?"
He walks out of the living room and into the kitchen. After a few moments of not knowing what he went in there for, he comes back out, holding a small chocolate cake with gold shavings on top. He walks over to me and smashes it in my face. He takes off the platter and lets the cake fall off my face.
"What. The. Frick. I'm gonna kill you with hugs!" I scream.
I tackle him with a hug and fall to the ground. I begin to relax as I wipe the left over cake off of me. Just getting a cake in the face was enough fun to have me actually realize that I had to go to the store and get more. Then go to one of my friends' house.
"Hey. I have to go to the store and get some more food. I'll be back after I do that and grab something I forgot at a friend's party that she threw for Molly's birthday. See ya soon?" I ask as I get up from the floor.
"Sure. Have a nice trip!"
Pages's House:
"Pages! I'm here to retrieve my wallet!" I shout.
I take a step in and slip on the wet floor.
"OW!" I scream. "Pages! Did you wax this thing?!"
I look to see what I slipped on. Blood. I knew that she didn't cook a lot but this was enough for something like a person as a stab wound.
"Pages! Where are you!? It's me! Rae!" I shout as I follow the trail of blood in the large mansion.
The trail of red liquid ended in the bathroom, the oak door open about an inch.
"Dear Celestia."
I open the door slowly and find my friend huddled up in a corner of the ivory tub, holding a sharp knife in her hand. She looks at me with horror in her eyes and looks back to the thing laying on the tile floor.
"What happened? Are you okay?" I ask frantically.
"H-he t-tried. He tried to hurt me. He came into my house and almost killed me."
I look at the body again. This time, only looking at the scarred face. It was Night Shade. His dark hair was tainted blonde. He was impersonating Veteran. He tried to hurt her. He tried to kill her.
"Pages, you did the right thing."
"B-but he was your. Y-your ex- boyfriend."
"He was a total jerk wad and that's why we broke up. It may hurt me a little, but I'm glad that you're safe. That's the only thing I care about right now," I say softly.
I lead her out of the blood stained bathroom and guide her down the stairs after I grab my wallet, and Night Shade's. He was a filthy person, and I'm surprised I ever dated him. Pages's wings were stiffly tucked in by her back and shuddered every three seconds. I rub her back and take her out of the house. I let her sit in the front seat of my car while I drove it to the store.
"How long have you been sitting there?" I ask with a serious look on my face.
"Th-three days. Maybe more," she whispers.
That was all I said for a while. Once we got to the store, I bought her some donuts for her to eat. I grabbed the rest of the groceries and payed at the check out. I gave her the donuts on our way back to my place. She ate them pretty quickly for her status on eating random jelly filled donuts.
Apartment; Living Room:
"Rae, I thought we agreed on no one entering with blood stains on them!" He whispers violently.
"She killed a man. My ex-. She's going through shock. She can't go back to where she was living. But on the bright side, we have a few extra bucks to pay rent," I say, trying to brighten up the feeling in the room.
"Fine. But we can't have anyone else come live here. They'd have to pay their fair share of things."
I nod my head and leave the living room to comfort my friend who was sitting in my room.
"Hey Pages. How ya feelin'?" I ask in a soothing tone.
"Scared. Normal I guess. I never really thought that I could kill someone in my life," she shivers. "I'm really-"
"It's fine. He was a donkey butt anyways. Just, get some sleep. You need it."
She crawls under the heavy covers and slowly drifts off to the land of dreams. If only that place was here. Then everything would be amazing.
I walk back into the living room and announce a plan to TD. "I know what we have to do."
