Swept away

Rainbow Dash awoke with to a terrified shriek, she bolted awake, banging her head hard on the branch above her "OW!" she groaned "Pinkie Pie! Get up!" Rainbow looked down at her earth pony friend annoyed, how did she sleep through that!

Pinkie Pie yawned and rubbed her sky blue eyes and brushed back her candy floss like mane that had gone wild as she wiggled around in her awkward sleeping position the night before. " Whats up Dashie?" she asked casually.

"I heard someone scream and after what happened yesterday I think we both know why!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed trying hard not to shout. Dashie gestured to her left to where the once peaceful city stood, now it was just scattered debris and black murky flood water that had yet to retreat.

"Do you think there will be another wave?" Pinkie Pie asked worried and scared, she saw what happened a few hours ago and never wanted it to happen ever again.

"To be honest with you Pinkie I'm no huge, destructive wave expert so I don't really know to be honest, but I know that as long as you are with me you will be absolutely fine!"

"Thanks Dashie I knew I could count on you! Now lets go help this pony!" Pinkie quickly trotted off to the right, Rainbow glared at her and rolled her eyes "Oh yeah wrong way hehe!" she and Rainbow dashed off towards the blood curdling scream.

Rainbow wondered how Pinkie could be so positive and happy surrounded by all this grief and tragedy, "Over there Pinkie!" Rainbow Dash shouted loudly to her hyperactive, pink best friend, she had spotted someone trying to climb up a steep slope not far away but failing miserably. "Wait is that...SPIKE!" Rainbow Dash speed off as fast as she could just as he lost his grip and plummeted towards the swampy disaster below "gotcha!" Dashie exclaimed as she grabbed him and flew back over to Pinkie Pie.

"Spike! I'm so glad our okay!" Pinkie shouted with glee, hugging him tightly, so much so he couldn't breath and was struggling to breath.

"Thanks Pinkie Pie! I'm glad your all alright too, but could you put me down now? I can't breath" Spike struggled to get out.

"Oh yeah, sorry" Pinkie Pie apologised.

"Spike! Did you see any of the others?" Rainbow Dash said, eyes filling with hope.

"I'm sorry, I haven't seen any of them since the wave swept us away form the beach inland, I'm sorry" Spike replied sadly ruining Rainbow's hopes, she looked down, grief replacing the hope she had previously in her warm, magenta eyes.
