Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Applejack surfaced in the dark, murky water. she fort the violent currents, she quickly figured there was no hope.
"So this is how I'm going to die, all alone, away from my friends, not even knowing if they're alive" she thought out loud to herself, she prayed to Celestia it would be quick.

Suddenly she smacked into something, she turned and climbed, using the lat of her strength to pull herself up the to the balcony and over it, she collapsed to the ground, breathing heavily, she slowly picked herself of the ground, she was alive, it was a miracle,suddenly her eyes went wide, she looked around "wait a minute, this was we were staying!" the strong, hard working mare sighed heavily, she remembered arriving here those few days ago, with her friends...together.

"Oh darn it!" she yelled tears pricking at her eyes, she turned away from the gushing, surge of water behind her, and silently began to cry.

"HELP!" Applejack's eyes went wide once more, she turned round, the voice echoed, and it sounded like it was coming this way, Applejack reacted on instinct, in seconds she was off the floor and peering over the edge. She squinted, a thrashing figure was being swept away by the strong, relentless currents, the pony hit a lamp post and clung on "HELP!" Applejack frantically looked round, desperately trying to find something to help the poor soul with, she spotted a long rope dangling from the balcony, she lent down and picked it up in her mouth, using her rodeo skills, she threw the rope out to the pony with incredible accuracy, the rope wrapped itself around the the poor pony like a snake, Applejack pulled with all her might, she managed to pulled the helpless victim into the clean, refreshing air and out of the dark, murky, debris filled water, and onto the balcony.

"Oh my gosh, Rarity!" Applejack cried, realizing the pony she rescued was other than her fashion loving friend "are you okay?"

"Oh Applejack" Rarity exclaimed, throwing her hooves around her saviour "I'm fine, now that I'm with you"
