The trees of Thorntail woods were calm, the leaves blowing slightly in the wind. The occasional squirrel or bird passing through. A trail set through the woods. On this trail, was a pegasus and an alicorn, the pegasus had green coat of fur, her mane was blonde with an assortiment of colours, same with her tail. Atop her head was a stetson with a pair of goggles above the brim. Her flank had a giant rainbow apple cutie mark on it. She was carrying a huge backpack on her back The alicorn on the other hand, had a platinum blonde coat, a light purple mane & tail, and a crystal butterfly cutie mark on her flank. She had a daisy in her mane.
"And please explain to me why we can't use our wings and fly?" The Pegasus asked. "We all have wings."
"Because." The Alicorn retorted. "The aireal threats are higher in this part of Equestria. It's safer on land."
"And?" The Pegasus said. "You and Twinkle are alicorns, plus I know how fight." The Pegasus then stood on her hind hooves and proceeded to jab her front hooves in the air really fast. "See?"
"Because, Rainbowjack." The alicorn retorted. "Magic isn't very useful, Plus you never know if you'll run into Dark Magic out here."
Rainbowjack sighed and looked up. "You're right, Shy. It's probably safer. Wait, Twinkle has been awfully quiet." The Pegasus looked around. "Oh sweet Celestia. Where is Twinkle?
Rarishy turned around. Twinkle, the other alicorn, was nowhere to be seen.
"TWINKLE!" Both mares called.
"Up here."
Both mares looked towards the location of the voice. Twinkle was standing on top of a tree. Twinkle was a purple alicorn, her mane was a fury mix of pink and purple & it was very curly, same with her tail. She had a sparkling balloon for a cutie Mark.
"Sorry girls." Twinkle spread her wings and flew to the ground. "There are so many different types of leaves out compared to ponyville and everfree. I'll have to do weeks of research and get-" she was interrupted by Rainbowjack, who put her hoof on her mouth.
"I love you sug, but you're so annoying sometimes." Rainbowjack said.
"Rainbowjack!"
"No, she's right, I went on a mode again." Twinkle said while rubbing the back of her head. "Sorry."
"No darling, we all do that." As Rarishy comforted Twinkle, RJ looked up at the sky, it should be about 3am.
"Hey." RJ shouted, both mares turned towards her. "Look, we have a good 4-5 hours before the sun goes down, I would like to make as much progress as we can. So let's get moving."
"Alright."
"Sure!"
---------------:------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Later that night)
"There!" Twinkle said as a fire erupted from the pile of logs in front of her.
"Nice, good job."
"Well done."
"Thanks girls." Twinkle blushed. "It was really easy compared to most spells I know."
"You should teach me sometime. Well...if you want to." Rarishy said.
"Sure!" Said Twinkle as she popped up right next to her.
"Eeep!" Cried Rarishy as she fell off the log, on her back.
"Rarishy, are you alright!?" Twinkle asked as she went to help her fused friend up. "I scared you again, didn't I?" Twinkle got a very guilty expression on her face.
"It's quite alright Twinkle." The white alicorn helped herself up. "I now you didn't mean it dear." Rarishy brushed herself off.
Twinkle wasn't convinced. "Are you sure you okay? Like, super duper uper okay?" Twinkles expression went from guilty to concerned.
"She's fine Twinkle." Rainbowjack shouted. "She's an alicorn now, remember? A simple fall is nothing to both of you."
"Doesn't mean I can't feel pain." Rarishy retorted. She sat back on the log. "Now Twinkle. You were about to teach me more spells?"
"Oh yeah!" Twinkle Sat down next to Rarishy.
Rainbowjack chuckled as the other two began talking all nerdy-magic. She couldn't relate, she was only a Pegasus, there was barely and magic in her, aside from the sonic rainboom & and the Element of both Honestly & Loyalty, she couldn't focus and channel it like them. She really wants to unfuse, she could easily gallop to the spot Celestia said they could find them , but then Rarishy & Twinkle wouldn't be able to unfuse, no matter what she could think of, there was no way she could make back in time. Rainbowjack looked at the sky, it was starting to get pretty dark.
"Alright girls." Rainbowjack said as she got up. "I think it's time to pack it in for the night." RJ then went through the giant backpack.
"Okay."
"Sure."
(30 mins later)
Rainbowjack sighed as she drove the hammer down on the peg. "There! That's about it." She looked over at the other two, they were done as well with their tents.
"Night girls. Hope you sleep well." Rarishy said with a yawn as she went into her tents.
"Night."
RJ yawned and turned towards the fire and noticed Twinkle sitting on one of the logs. RJ fluttered over.
"What's keeping you up?" RJ asked as she sat down next to Twinkle.
"Huh? Oh nothing really."
"C'mon I can tell something is bugging ya."
Twinkle sighed. "Just ...........thinking about what would happen if we failed."
"We remain like this forever, it's probably gonna suck, Rarishy is gonna be a princess now and I don't know if I'll join the Wonderbolts. But we'll do it, we've conquered impossible stuff before."
"Not that, I might've changed the truth a slight bit about failure."
"What do you mean?"
"Permanent fusion means that our souls fuse, which means we stay fused, even into the afterlife."
RJ's eyes went wide. "So even in death we're stuck like this?
"Yeah. That's why it's dark magic."
"Well, that just adds a bit of urgency." RJ shrugged.
"I know one thing for sure, I'm never drinking anything alcoholic for the rest of my life."
"Same here." RJ got up and stretched. "Well, I'm going to bed, night."
"Night. I'll put out the fire." Twinkle sighed and looked into fire. "I hope we fix this.
