Our wings were ached and pained, and the wind was not gentle along my lashes. To make matters worse, the cargo on our back weighed us down. But It also filled us with new resolve.

The filly Star Charter was brave and strong, and her willingness to save us only inspired us to push through the pain. She reminded me so much of the son I had lost, and I would do all in our power to not let another foal die because of us.

On the horizon we could see it, land. Equestria. It will be a new life, a new beginning. We will not make the same mistakes as before, and Star Charter can be a normal filly, for what time she has left to be one. We could also see that something was out of place for Equestria, the clouds were gone. Some clouds were still around, but they were wide apart. Stretching between the clouds was what we wanted to see, a Rainbow.

Pushing our self harder, we zoomed into the sunrise, and at the rainbow. With hoof stretched out, we touched it ever so lightly. There was no shock, no wave of healing, we still hurt more then I have ever before, but we felt satisfied. We had touched a rainbow, and with it, we knew know that we can now move on. With clear skies over Equestria, we knew there will be many more rainbows to touch, but right now we had other responsibilities.

"Prism, what's going on?” With a yawn, Star Charter shifted on our back. “WOW! What's all that brown stuff, there's so much of it!"

Quickly descending, the strain our my wings were almost too much. We laughed. "We’re here, we made it to Equestria"

We did my best to land on the ground gently, but pain shot thru our legs as we hit.. We were at least was able to keep our self from crying out, not wanting to worry Star.

The filly jumped off my back as soon as I had stopped, and almost tripped after walking around. "Everything’s so still... I don't like it." we chuckled, but suddenly found our self kneeling on the ground, breathing heavily. "Prism, what's wrong? Are you okay?"

"We are fine." Everything hurt all over. From my hooves to my snout we hurt. "Don't worry about us."

"No, you’re not! Just say there, I'll get some help." We raised a hoof to stop her, but she had already ran off out of sight.

We couldn't bring our self to move, only lie down and be at peace with our pain. We had touched a rainbow, and saved a foal. We were at peace with our self. Star Charter knew how to survive, she will be just fine without me, we just new it.

"She's just this way, just around this rock!" It was Stars voice. The filly bound out from around a small boulder.

"Okay, but I'm not a doctor, so I can only so so much to help.... oh she's an alicorn, well that's different." The pony that rounded the corner was a glowing ghoul. "I think I know exactly how I can help your friend."

"Really?!" Star Charter jumped.

"Yep, just grab all your stuff, and wait over there. I'll see what I can do." The glowing ghoul smiled.

Star Charter dragged all of our supply's away from me and sat on top of them. "So mister, what are you going to do?"

The glowing ghoul walked up to me. "I'm just going to share some of my radiation with her, it will help her heal." The ghouls eyes lit up with a balefire green, and a wave of relief passed over me. "Just sit still miss, this will take a little time."

I smiled. "Thank you, we are... I am grateful for the help." Like how I saved her, she was now saving me.

*BANG!*

My head shot up at the sudden sound. Sleep, sleep was good, even if it was in the middle of the day. So understandably, I was not happy about whatever woke me up. Twitching my ears, I could hear the soft wine of an electrical charge, and... taste the electricity in the air. "Oh no not again."

Trotting through the ward, most of the ponies on the beds gave me a knowing nod. Working with the Followers of the Apocalypses had its perks, mostly that the majority of ponies were grateful that you were just around. But I liked them for the roof over my head, and work I was more than happy to do.

Stepping into the back room, I could see that Star Charter and the colt Roger Roger had tamped with the emergency broadcasting radio... again. Ever since Roger Roger got his two way radio cutie mark, Star had him tampering with our communication equipment every week. She even attempted to start her own radio broadcast, but only managed to pirate off of DJ Pon3 signal, which he was not happy about. A few of the other foals were on the other side of the room watching intently, probably waiting for another story about adventures on the high seas from Star Charter.

"What are you doing now Star? And please don't have it something that can get us kicked out of town."

Star Waved her hoof dismissively. At twenty two, she still acted too much like a Foal. "Chill Prism, we were just boosting the signal. No harm, no harm."

Looking at the emergency broadcasting radio, it had become a jumble of wires, gems, and a bunch of things I don't think goes into a broadcasting radio. "Boosting it to what, the moon!?"

Roger Roger looked at Star. "Oh! Can we try that next!?"

Star Charter scratched her chin. "I think we should, I've heard there's some ponies living up there."

I stopped my hoof down. "Oh no you don't, not unless you can make your own broadcasting radio, I'm not letting to break any more equipment! Now turn that off before some pony gets hurt."

"No pony is going to get hurt." Star retorted.

"You're going to get hurt!" I retorted back.

Star Charter huffed, but complied. Flipping switched until the broadcaster radio had powered down. "There, it's off. But nothing bad was going to...."

*CRASH*

"...Happen" Star slowly looked behind me to the ward, where the crash just came from. I looked too, but there was too much dust to see anything.

"Oy, looks like a pony just fell through the roof!" One of the patience called out. "Oh! It's a stable pony too, pipbuck and all!"

"Star, go get the doctor, I'll get that pony on a bed." Star nodded and quickly ran off, as I walked to where the fallen pony was. Looking at the strange situation, all I could think to myself was. Just another day in the Equestrian Wasteland.
