The stupid reason
The discovery
Previous ChapterNext ChapterFew hours later
After visiting all of her friends (to see if they were ok), Rainbow Dash no longer wanted to sleep; instead she decided to fly over the mountains to train wings and, maybe, play tag some young hyppogryphs (little things were so breathtakingly adorable - Fluttershy've loved them if she was brave enough to fly to the mountains).
After few hours of laaazy flight (she was stupid enough to try Pinkie's Super Tasty Mega Nutrient Travel Cake before asking what "Mega Nutrient" means, and now her stomach felt like it was full of gravel...but it really was Super Tasty) she saw sights of the earthquake (Ponyville wasn't damaged by it at all - biggest losses were a flowerpot and Mayor's glasses) -big part of a mountain was damaged and cracked,and...something shined inside.
"If this is gold or something interesting, I can bring some to my friends, " - Rainbow Dash thought. She flew down carefully and saw a lake.
It was beautiful:its coast was full of gems of various size and shape, and the water itself was shimmering and silverish in colour. It was definitely water - and it was fresh, so Rainbow drunk some, being thursty after a long flight.
She lied down on the biggest gem - blue, as her coat, and very sparkly - and looked in the sky.
Sky was blue, too - perfect blue, with no clouds, no birds and no pegasi...it was so beautiful, so bright, so endless...
Rainbow Dash fell asleep.

Some time later. I know, it looks boring, but c'mon, are you really thinking I gonna write about EVERY thing that happened, like Princess Celestia going for a walk and Princess Luna accidentally eating a spider? It's no scrypt!
- Woah,Rainbow Dash,those gems are so beautiful! - Rarity hugged a pile of shimmering stones, each shining with billion colours of its unique palette.
- And tasty, -added Spike, chewing one of the yellow ones. -Where did you find them?
- And that weird water, -Twilight Sparkle was looking at cup of the silver water Rainbow brought (she hollowed one of the stones with a gem and filled it with water). -It is magical, I am sure. Maybe,even dangerous! And you drunk it?!
-Hey, I was thursty! And I don't think it can cause any harm. It's just usual water. But nice. It's, like, Rarity of the waters.
-Maybe it's, mmm, filled with shine from gems? - said Applejack .- They shined,shined,and made it shiny...I am no sciencist, y'know, I am just saying...
Suddenly Spike hiccuped, emitting some yellow flame. It burned Pinkie's bow (Rarity was making a dress for her, and styled her hair to fit) and ended right near Fluttershy's nose. She shrieked and hid under the blanket.
-Oh. I am sorry. I think I've eaten too many, - apologised little dragon.
-Your fire...it was unusual, have you seen it?-asked Twilight.
-Er...no, I blink when I hiccup.
-It was yellow, like ballon on my mark! - said Pinkie Pie. - Can you now make a blue one? And then pink? And then...
-Shh, Pinkie. I think his fire changed colour cause gems are unusual, but...FLUTTERSHY, PLEASE DON'T DRINK IT, I HAVEN'T FINISHED MY STUDIES!
But it was too late.Fluttershy drunk all the shining water and scream only made her drop the cup on the carpet (cup sirvived).
- Oh...I am...s-sorry... -yellow pegasus blushed, hiding under the blanket again. -I was, like, scared,and my mouth became dry, and...I forgot it is special water...please,don't be angry on me...
At the end of this sentence she somehow completely hid under Gummy's blanket. - Don't worry, I can bring more tomorrow, -said Rainbow Dash.
- And I am not angry, -Twilight Sparkle looked under the blanket, smiling. - I just was afraid that this water can be harmful to you.
- It was tasty - squeaked Fluttershy. -I can ask my Jabberwock friend to bring more.
- Jabber-what? - said Applejack. - Sounds pretty weird.
-Ooh, -started Fluttershy, now standing with blanket on her back (making question about how she fitted under it even more relevant). -Jabberwock is a creature that is a bit like a dragon, but he is not, he breathes fire, likes carrots and is wearing a jacket. He hurt his wing, and I cured him. He is so sweet! I don't even need to Stare him down to make him eat his vegetables. I mean,half of his teeth are surely for meat, but I don't have any, and all fishes that planned to die this month have died already, and deer still don't care about all that reincarnation thingie, and that big pig farm is so far away...so he eats vegetables. And he can fly. He carried momma bear with her cubs when I asked him. He said I can ask him for everything - I also saved him from that living sword...It was before you arrived, Twilight. Oh, and now I am curing him again, because he got in a fight with a Discord, who owes him 20 bits...
- It's pretty late already, you know?- suddenly asked Rarity. -You are my friends, but we can't all stay here tonight...I am not ready for a sleepover.
- And I need to wake Macintosh up in the morning, - said Applejack. -He ignores roosters now.
- And I was planning to do few experiments on those gems. You don't mind,Rarity?
- Of course, I do...er, I mean, yes, you can take them for a night. Just bring them back after that - I already have plans for them...
- I am so tired... -said Rainbow Dash. - Don't know if I can reach my home...
-I 'll help you, -said Fluttershy. -Ugh...if you don't mind. - I'll go and try to improve my Super Tasty Mega Nutrient Travel Cake, so it won't be so heavy in the tum! - Pinkie run out of Boutique , looking like some kind of bouncy pink lightning.
Everybody went home, too, and they didn't knew what gonna hapen tomorrow...
