HR
**Wes's pov**
As I was running towards the river that the Filly's friend was in, I was thinking why i agreed so suddenly. I never defended any of the kids my team would pick on so what's different with this situation? Was it because it was life or death and a kid was asking me? I could not come up with an answer so I followed my very worried guide as fast as possible because that was the only thing I could do right now.
My Friend Suddenly slowed down which was a sign we arrived. I looked around and the area did not look like a river but a channel with rushing water which would rival the sound of the storm. At one end was me and the filly but on the other side was the endangered filly's friend who was hanging on a branch, not wanting to be swept away by the current.
"Scootaloo! It's Me Applebloom, I brought somepony that could help just hang tight, ok?" she yelled as I caught her name clearly which meant that I did not have to ask it later. Now her friend was a different story. Me and Applebloom were probably over 100 feet apart from Scootaloo and it looked very deep. I could see why she needed help. I needed to have at least some information before I made a bad decision.
First, i had to ask. "Your friend's a Pegasus, is she hurt?" I asked in a calm manner.
"Yes mister, she fell and got trapped. I don't think the branch will last very long so i couldn't wait for help" she said to me. There was no time to wait for anyone else and I was not expecting to find someone else to help me so I made a quick plan.
"Ok Applebloom, I need you to find a long branch and stick it out in her direction. I am planning to let the current carry me to Scootaloo then when I grab her, we will be carried closer to you with her ticket out of this mess. You get me?" I asked her as she raised an eyebrow at me.
"That sounds like a crazy idea, but I am willing to try anything to help my friend. I believe you can do it uhhhh? What's your name?" I was gonna answer when Scootaloo suddenly yelled,
"HEY! WOULD YOU TWO STOP TALKING AND HELP ME OUT! I CAN'T HOLD ON MUCH LONGER!" She yelled, which turned our attention back to the problem at hand.
"Right, let's get to work. Go!" I commanded as me and Applebloom parted ways to our positions. I got to a good distance where I would believe would bring me closer to her. I had to take a leap of faith to reduce the distance. "I hope i'm right..." I mutter out before taking few steps and launched myself to a good distance. But it was when I hit the water that I learned how serious this was.
"AH! I can't move!" The pressure from the water was enough to stop me from moving and push me down underwater and no matter where I moved, I was being held down. Even when I was barely moving to Scootaloo's direction, it would not be enough to get to her in time.
"It's like i'm being tackled by my teamates." I said, remembering my world as I struggled.
"Mister over here!" scootaloo cried out to me. I was not even close to her and I was passing by further way. I saw her face turn to me, expecting me to do something but no matter what I did, I was not making any progress and I was feeling disappointed in myself.
"C'mon! I don't want to lose to water!" I was only making it more embarrassing by still saying things that would get her hopes up. I thought it was over until I started to swim a bit faster. I noticed the pressure from the water felt weaker and my body becoming stronger.
The rushing water felt like air to me now!. I was not moving fast but I was reaching closer to Scootaloo. I was confused why this happened.
"You can do it, Mister!" Scootaloo cheered me on. I then heard a noise. "It's the branch! it's going to break." Scootaloo yelled frantically.
"That's fine, I'm here now. Grab onto me and we will head towards your friend and your way out." I told her while taking deep breaths.
"Thanks mister! Now let's get out of this mess." she said and then wrapped her hooves around my waist. Me and Scootaloo were now letting the water take us in our intended destination before I yelled for Applebloom.
"APPLEBLOOM, GET READY! WE'RE COMING!" Sure enough, the branch I wanted to see was in sight. Getting this force of water was easy now but I was feeling tired for some reason, it was like I wanted to finish this task as fast as possible. "Hey Scootaloo, grab the branch and make your way back up it would feel weird if I went first." I said with dark humor that I used on rare occasions.
"Right!" scootaloo said before grabbing the branch as I had to hold my ground from the current stream which was now making me feel the weight it previously had.
Sure enough, I heard scootaloo's voice. "All right mister, grab onto me and Applebloom and we'll pull you up now! Quickly!" The two kids offered me a lifeline and I was happy to take it because the water was starting to hurt me. They struggled a bit but both had enough strength to help me up.
When I got up, I layed down soaking wet and Scootaloo was able to stand and Applebloom was taking gasp of air before saying, "as a part of apple farm acres, this work is nothing me." she then turned her attention to both of us. "Please tell me your both Ok?" she asked in a worried tone.
"Just feel a bit weary, that's all." I said
"What about you scootaloo?"
Scootaloo then walked a few steps before saying, "I just hurt my wing that's all." she said put her head down disappointingly while letting out a few tears. Applebloom held her friend and said.
"Get your act together! You want to become a great flyer like Rainbow Dash don't you? Then let's hurry and get you to a doctor right away! Then you can cry all you want." Applebloom shook her friend violently and encouraged her to keep calm.
"...your right Let's get going" she said and started to take a few steps towards ponyville until...
"Hold On! Me and Scootaloo don't even know your name, mister. We gotta to know now." she asked and I was able to hear her accent for the first time since she was always worried when she did talk. I was not undercover or anything but in this world, I have to blend in so I have to introduce myself with the name Luna gave me.
I raised myself up and got to a proper stance. "My name is Weather Buckler, I'm new here."
Applebloom then said to me, "No wonder you look new, well let's get back before.." Suddenly the loud storm roared again, causing all of us to flinch a bit. It had started to rain badly and we needed to go before we caught a cold.
" The town should not be far from here, let's go." I said getting ready to run with the girls but before I took a step, I felt something. I looked down and I saw the two fillies hugging me tightly, then said something to me that I would remember for a long time.
"We just got to thank you again! What you did was super cool." Applebloom said appreciatively.
"Ya ponyville would be happy to have somepony like you." They eventually let go and started to head to our destination. I was surprise that they told me those kind words like that, what I did was something that just happened. I was not looking forward to save anyone or anypony...
But overall, I was glad I didn't fail and to hear those words. While I was jogging I suddenly remembered Things from the show , Applebloom there I think I saw her from the first episode. She was the sister of one of the mane six which explains a lot and Scootaloo knows Rainbow Dash, another of the mane six and is her admirer?
Whatever the case, I was also thinking about why I got the strength in the water. Everything felt so weightless, I would have to ask about that later. We saw the town in our gazes when suddenly we saw something fly over us. " You Guys see that?" I asked while the other two looked around.
"Yeah, we saw. I think I know who it is." said Scootaloo in a sad voice.
"Finally! I've been looking for you two forever." said a voice from over our heads before landing in front of us, it was...
"Rainbow Dash!" said Scootaloo, it was that very pony the one who represented loyalty and I would admit she is a bit off a show off. She acts like most of my teammates would except that she doesn't pick on people and take 2 parking spots. She then looked at Scootaloo and got worried.
"Hey squirt, what happened to your wing?! " she asked while getting closer to her.
"You should have seen it, Rainbow! Scootaloo was trapped by the river and I went to get help, then I found Weather Buckler here who swam to her rescue and-" Applebloom said excitedly but was interrupted.
"Listen! I got to take the squirt to the doctor, you two hurry up and head to the city hall. Most of the ponies can be found there." Rainbow Dash explained to us but then turned her attention to me. "You there, Whatever-your-name-was, thanks a lot for saving Scootaloo." she said and flew away with Scootaloo on her back.
**Rainbow and Scootaloo**
As both of them were headed to the hospital, Scootaloo looked up at her inspiration and said, "I thought I had enough time..."
Rainbow looked at the filly and responded, "what do mean?"
"I was doing a trick to impress Applebloom but then the thunder scared me and i ended up stuck in the river." Scootaloo explained to her ideal. Rainbow had thought that she would be a great flyer someday and hearing what happened, made that thought stronger but still.
"Impressing your friend is not worth hurting your wing ... or your life. I got scared thinking something happened to you guys. Don't do that again, you hear me?" Rainbow said intensely.
Scootaloo chocked on hear words like Rainbow did and just said "ok".
**Ponyville**
I was finally in Ponyville which seemed just like the show except taking a closer look, there was no one around and it was no dryer here than the forest.
"Alright, City Hall should just be around the corner, let's go Buckler." Applebloom said and sure enough, we reached it. As we got to the entrance, I was glad things were over because I was straight out tired Like I had to sleep. I had to fight the urge to stop yawning, when we got to the entrance, Applebloom spoke to me.
"So, is rescuing ponies like your special talent?" I was confused by that question.
"No, I don't think so. Why you ask?" I questioned as Applebloom opened the door to the city hall.
"It seemed like you knew what you were doing." she said to me and sure enough when we entered, I saw many of the ponies who are here taking shelter from the storm.
"Thanks for saying that but, I'm no forest ranger." i told her.
"Excuse me, sir?" a new voice said in my direction as I turned to my left and there was an older pony with glasses speaking to me. I was so sleepy I just responded,
"Yes" still trying not to yawn.
"I am the Mayor of Ponyville, might you be the stallion known as Weather Buckler who saved Scootaloo?" she asked me. _Wow, news travel fast here I guess,_ I thought as I was on the verge of shutting my eyes.
"I cannot express my thanks for your actions today, if there is anything you would like, please ask." she said to me in a proper manner. That was my opportunity, with all my leftover strength, I just had to say,
"Would it be fine to move my sleeping body to a quiet corner please."
Right after those words left my mouth, I fell on the floor and into a deep sleep that had been bugging me ever since the rescue. I then started dreaming of my life long goal.
