    "HELP!" odd luck screamed. Hoping some pony will come to pull her out. Restraining her from drowning in the water.

    "HELP!" She tried again. Maybe this time she will get lucky and someone hears her. She knew it was a bad idea from the start to try and cross the river even though she was hauling a humongous cart. She tried to swim up as the cart attached to her touched the bottom of the river.

    If it was any deeper than she would never be able to make it out. She hardly had her head sticking out of the water. She continued thrashing. All the moving around was making things worse for her. She felt as the cart began to tilt from its rear end to its opened top. Not good.

    The cart started to pull her down. With all of her might, and some magic she tried to remain above the water. Close to the air. With as much on concentration as possible she undid the straps keeping her held back.

    She managed to get one off, but some left over from the cart had a whole lot of her lower body tangled. Preventing her from escaping. She needed help.

    "SOMEPONY PLEASE HELP ME!" She cried. She couldn't tell if she was sobbing or having a seizure. She was going to die here and she knew very well.

    From the distance she could spot another mare. The most that she could make out of the pony was that she was blue. Oddluck couldn't spot anything else about her due to her shear less amount of concentration keeping herself afloat.

    "HEY," She called out to the mare. "HELP ME!" She wanted to say please, but she was afraid that if she said anything else water would get in her mouth.

    Oddluck notice that the pony was gone before she could look away. She was just going to leave her here to die! She looked right at her!

    Before she knew it, the strange blue pony was in the water right next to her. Oddluck tried to say something to her, but the pony went underneath.

    She felt herself slowly being untangled by the mare. Without notice, she was being dragged back to shore.

    The mare set Oddluck gently on ground as she started to cough up water from her lungs.

    "Hi," The mare said with a smile on her face. "I'm Mizuko."

    What she really wanted to do right now was shake Mizuko's hoof, and thank her greatly for saving her life. Instead, out of exhaustion, she decided to thank her.

    "Thank Celestia..." she was having trouble with her breathing. "Thank you so much."

    Mizuko stared at Oddluck in curiosity. "Why were you attached to a cart in the river?"

    Oddluck couldn't help but blush in embarrassment. "He heh... I kind of tried to cross it while still hauling that thing."

    She knew it wasn't a very smart idea. She could of avoided all of this trouble if she just took the time to go around.

But she has been hiking for so long, she kind of got tired of taking the main trail. It took drowning to teach her about the danger of detours.

    "Th-thank you..." Oddluck said. She was exhausted, but happy someone was there to save her.

    "What's your name?" Mizuko asked. Suddenly looking puzzled on who this green mare was.

    "Oddluck."

    MESSAGE TO THE READERS FROM THE AUTHOR: I have tried many times over the week to get this story out. But I have been too busy to do anything about it. So this is what I wrote in the last few minutes. I wish my opponent the best of luck for the future of this contest. I could not finish my story in time. In fact, this is only half of what I could write before the poll closed. I will continue to cheer my opponents OC on in hopes that he/she wins.
