Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Was children Room time and Applejack and Rainbow Dash went in. Scootaloo ran into Dash´s hands . She sobbed a little. "What´s wrong Scoots?"asked Rainbow. " Snips is dead,Twist is dead, Pipsqueak is dead, Dinky is dead, many others are dead...."said Scootaloo hysterically. Rainbow was forced to slap Scootaloo´s cheek. "Calm down, Kid!"  gived Dash a order. "Thanks, Rainbow. I needed it, I was almost to lose my mind completely." said Scootaloo quietly. "That´s okay. Sometimes I start losing my mind too, but then I remind to myself: You can´t lose you´re mind. That´s making you weaker." said Dash.  At the same time talked Applejack to Applebloom. "I´m worried about Snails. He haven´t talked from that time Snips died. He had sit in corner next to Snips body." said Applebloom to her sister. "I think he don´t wanna talk, because he was so close to him. When I have seen him, always Snips was with him." told Applejack. "Yeah...they were together all the time. I have heard they were friends from birth."

  Mane 5 sat in the cave and watched how someone died. Rainbow sometimes peeked Fleetfoot, who was almost dead. She didn't had strength to sit anymore. Rainbow decided to go watch Fleetfoot. "Where are you going?" asked Fluttershy. "I´m going to watch Fleetfoot." answered Rainbow Dash. "She is really weak and is going to die today or tomorrow." said Rainbow with tear in her eye. "Only one question: Is she you´re friend?" asked Pinkie. "Yes." said RD.

  Rainbow sat next to Fleetfoot. Fleetfoot had tried to sit, but these efforts didn't success. "I...don't...wanna...die." said Fleetfoot quietly. Her voice was really weak, almost unheard. "You won't." lied Spitfire to herself. "Who..are you...kidding? You...know that´s...not...true." whispered Fleetfoot "It...will happen...today or...tomorrow.". "Don't waste your energy, for speaking." said Soarin to Fleetfoot. "What...ever I...do, I´m...getting...weaker." said Fleetfoot almost crying.

  At next morning was Fleetfoot still alive, but in very bad status. She coughed and talked very hardly. Rainbow were up all night, and guarded Fleetfoot. "I....don't...wanna...die." cried Fleetfoot. "None of us wants, but it´s part of life." tried Spitfire to calm Fleetfoot. But it didn't worked very well. Then she coughed again and said "My...end...is...soon." "No it isn't, stay strong." said Soarin. "If...you...want...cheer...me up...It don't...work...out." said Fleetfoot weakly. Then she coughed more hardly than ever before. "It...is my...time...now." said Fleetfoot with a little smile on her face. "No! Fleety it isn't. You can live few weeks more." said Spitfire, almost crying. "No...I don't. You...know...that. Spitfire...You...have been...good...friend...I...say same...to...you...Soarin. And...Rainbow Dash...I...didn't...knew you...so...well,...but...you...seem...good...friend". Then her eyes closed and she didn´t moved any more. "Fleety?" said Soarin confusedly. "Fleetfoot! Wake up, that´s not funny." said Rainbow Dash, but she knew she´s not gonna wake up. Then she bended head and started sobbing. Same did Spitfire and Soarin fought against tears, but it didn't went well. He started crying too.

  Fluttershy, Pinkie, Applejack and Twilight saw what happened there. They decided to go there and comfort them. When they arrived there, was Twilight almost crying too. She was always been emotional. "I´m sorry Dashie. If there is something we could do." said Applejack. "Y-y-you...c-can't." whispered Rainbow almost ununderstandably.

Soarin had sat next to Rainbow and hugged her. Soarin had stopped crying, but he was still sad. Rainbow putted her head on Soarin´s shoulder. Spitfire cried hysterically. "Fleety! Fleety! Wake up! Wake...up." then she understood conclusively: Fleetfoot is dead, she can´t wake up. That fact made her cry more harder. "Why her? asked Rainbow from Applejack. "I don't know. That´s one part of her life. Everyone´s have their own destiny. You can´t change it what is destined to you. Maybe you get out here alive and I die tomorrow." explained Applejack. RD, Fluttershy,Pinkie, Twilight, Soarin and Spitfire watched her respectably. "Oops..." said Applejack and she blushed.
