They Call Me Dash

Walking to the barrier was the easy part, but what was really hard was getting outside. I stared at the barrier carefully, trying to remember what I would do in situations like this before. Probably be arrogant. Infact, I remember Twilight usually being the one to actually solve these types of problems. But of course, Twilight isn't here to help, anymore. I stared at Derpy for a minute, she too was trying to figure a way out of the barrier. If the Doctor was here, he'd be proud.

"We need unicorn magic." Derpy said, confidently. Her eyes were narrowed and her mouth was in a frown.

"Why would we need unicorn magic?" I asked. Besides, many of the unicorns that formerly lived in Ponyville escaped using teleportation spells. Finding a unicorn to help us would be a difficult task to complete.

"We obviously we can't do anything else but dig under the barrier, and if we dug, it would possibly take months. A unicorn, however, could use one of their spells to do it in less then 10 minutes. "

I thought about Derpy's idea for a moment, before smiling brightly at her. It was genius. Except for one flaw.

"That could work. But who would we get to help us, exactly?"

Derpy's frown turned deeper at my remark. She had nothing.

"Let me think. What about Lyra?" I asked, trying to brighten up the mood.

"She escaped...with Bon Bon, too."

"Vinyl Scratch?"

"Escaped.."

"Colgate?"

"Escaped."

"Who didn't escape?!"

Derpy thought for a minute before resting her eyes back on me. "Trixie."

My eyes widened with rage at the sound of her name. This pony did so many bad things during her visit, it definetly beat all the good things she's done in her life!

"Are you sure?,"I asked Derpy," I thought she didn't leave in Ponyville."

"She didn't." Derpy replied." But she moved here around the time Tirek came."

"Where?"

"Follow me.."

I followed Derpy away from the barrier, looking back at a far distance. Don't worry girls..I'll be there soon enough.

"You're asking Trixie..to help her?!"

Arriving at Trixie's house from the barrier had been a hard trip. Trust me, dodging flying objects and crazy weather is harder then Derpy made it look like. This pony better agree..

"Yes, Trixie." Derpy sighed, rolling her eyes in annoyance.

"B-But..she's a nuisance!" Trixie shouted." She absolutely ruins everything!"

"Like what." Derpy asked.

"W-Well.."

"Ha! So you have nothing!" I spoke up. Derpy and Trixie looked at me, coldly, making me move back a bit.

"Anyway! Why would Trixie help any of you?!" Trixie said, resuming the conversation."

"I don't know. Maybe the fact that if you don't, Equestria will stay like this forever and we will eventually all die.." Derpy smirked. Trixie looked at her, in a scared way. I had to admit, Derpy had gotten a lot scarier during these past months.

"Well, Trixie guesses you are right.."

"I always am.." Derpy said.

"Ya..." Trixie twisted her lips." When are we going?"

"Right now."

Derpy dragged Trixie out of her house, and launched her onto her back. Trixie struggled with Derpy for a while before finally deciding her attempts were useless and stopped. Derpy looked at me, in a way only I could understand to be pride. After that, she launched into the air with Trixie and they raced to the barrier.

I looked at them for a second, Derpy had gotten fast. I remember a long time ago, I used to be fast. The fastest pony in all of Ponyville. I wasn't really into flying anymore...it reminded me too much of...her...

I walked after the 2, my head drooping down low. Someday, maybe I will fly again. But until that day, I'll continue to be on the ground and dodging meteors.

After Trixie had dug us across the barrier, it was uphill from there. The world outside the barrier was beautiful, full of life. Just like Ponyville, before the bad times. I smiled, nudging Derpy a bit as we continued to go into the forest. The sound of animals ringed through my ears, Fluttershy would've loved this. I missed her...her cute way of getting scared and her shy yet brave actions.

"Will you stop standing there?!"

A voice interrupted my thoughts as I looked towards an annoyed Trixie. Derpy was already far ahead both of us and I hadn't realized that I had been standing in one place instead of walking.

"Sorry..Trixie.."

Trixie's eyes softened up, she looked at me carefully.

"It's about them..isn't it."

"What are you talking about?" I deflected.

"Your friends..especially the pink menace."

"She's not a menace! She's just...unique."

"Exactly my point."

"Look-"

Something interrupted me as the sound of leaves rustling caught my attention. I looked over Trixie's shoulder and gazed at the bushes. Something yellow was inside of them, probably a lost animal. I walked up to it.

"It's okay little guy." I laughed. But what I saw wasn't an animal.

"Fluttershy?!"
