Swept away

"Pass it to me AJ!" Rainbow shouted to her earth pony friend, she threw the ball up and bucked it at Rainbow who hit it back with her hoof. Twilight sighed happily, she looked around at her friends, Rarity was sunbathing and Spike was fanning her, Pinkie Pie was taking a swim, Fluttershy was looking in the stunning rock pools for coastal wildlife and Applejack and Rainbow Dash were playing volleyball and she was reading the latest Daring Do novel, The violet mare laid back in her deck chair, there was nothing like a day at the beach!

"What you look at Fluttershy?" Pinkie asked her Pegasus friend rather loudly, dunking her face in the the rock pool "OW!"
she exclaimed as a ruby red crab grabbed onto her snout with its razor sharp pincers.

"Pinkie, please keep your voice down" The timid Pegasus told her friend firmly, detaching the sea creature from her snout, carefully placing it down in the dazzling sea blue water in front of her.

Fluttershy slowly trotted over to a nearby seagull when it suddenly flew away, The cream coloured mare looked up noticing a lot of the birds at the beach were flying away, "that odd" she thought out load.

"Whats odd?" Her pink earth pony friend asked curiously.

"All the birds are flying away" Fluttershy said confused, Pinkie looked up equally confused.

Suddenly the sound of sirens screeched through the air startling all the ponies, they all looked around startled and oblivious as to what was going on.

Twilight stood up and felt the ground start to shake beneath her, she gasped "EARTHQUAKE!" she shrieked everyone turned to her and began to panic, ponies were running around, falling over, crashing into one and other it was chaos, total chaos.

"Twilight!" Spike cried, running over and hugging the mare "what do we do?" he frantically asked.

"I don't know, I've never been in an earthquake before" Twilight said truthfully, Rarity ran over to them, holding onto her hat, she looked petrified.

Suddenly the shaking got worse, much worse, no pony could stand, the all tumbled violently to the sandy ground, trying desperatly to find something to hold on to.

"AJ, I don't like this" Rainbow Dash said, her usual confidence gone, Rainbow flew up and looked around, her gaze fell on the deep blue sea, something wasn't right about it.

"I don't like it either Rainbow" Applejack said as the clung onto a tall,swaying palm tree for dear life.

The shaking slowly began to cease, leaving destruction everywhere, Applejack spotted Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie trotting slowly over to Twilight, Rarity and Spike she nudged Rainbow and gestured over, Rainbow understood and nodded and flew beside Applejack, she had one more look at the sea, something was up with it, and Rainbow knew it.

"Is everypony okay?" Twilight said concerned, everyone smiled at each other glad their friends were alright.

"Yes but ugh Twilight where's the sea gone?" Fluttershy said confused, everypony looked at the sea, well what was left of it.

"That mighty weird" Applejack said in her usual southern accent, Spike stepped forward and took a close look at the sea, it was coming back but something wasn't right.
"The seas coming back!" The dragon shouted, his pony friends walked out to where he was and took a close look, and sure enough it was.

"Wow, Its coming in fast!" Rarity exclaimed concern in her voice.

"Something's wrong" Twilight muttered to herself, the water was rapidly approaching, it was about to reach the beach, it bulldozed though the palm trees towards the seven friends and the other ponies on the beach.

"TSUNAMI!" a distant pony shouted, all the ponies turned round, trying to find the source of the voice, they turned back round he water was only metres away.

"RUN!" Twilight screamed they all started to run when... BAM!

The friends were hit, violently and swept away, Rainbow Dash had managed to fly high enough, out of the giant waves reach, she gasped, wide eyed, her friends they, they were gone...
