Chapter seven

"...and then I was here." Dash finished her story. Twilight and Sunset shared a confused glance.

"I'm gonna write her a note. I think something was going on." Sunset said and went over to one of her bags. Zipping it open she grabbed the big brown book. Sunset flipped through the pages and noticed a new entry. She stopped there and read it.

"What is it, Sunset?" Twilight asked.

"Princess Twilight already sent me a note. I better reply to her that I already found Dash." Sunset replied. She grabbed into the bag again and took out a pen.

Dear Princess Twilight,

I've already found Dash. She's save with me. But not for long. You have to find a way to fix the mirror and get her back.

Your friend, Sunset Shimmer

She snapped the book shut, causing the others to jump in surprise.

"I'm here! I'm here!" Fluttershy said, out of breath after running to her friends' tent.

Sunset held out a water bottle for Fluttershy. The girl accepted and drank from the cool water.

"Thanks Sunset. Rainbow had me do some training... then she told me I was needed for her mini self." Fluttershy explained. Dash groaned at the name. Fluttershy gave her the medicine again. The Pegasus only gagged once.

"Thanks a lot Fluttershy." Sunset said and smiled at her friend. Fluttershy left again, saying she had to help Pinkie Pie with something in the kitchen.
Sunset saw how Twilight was fondling Spike. Her own hand copied her friends' movements. To her surprise, the Pegasus didn't resist. First her hand was on the ponys' head. Then it moved down her neck and between the wings.

"Um.. What are you doing?" The Pegasus suddenly asked, visibly melting in Sunsets touch.

"Sorry, do you want me to stop?" Sunset asked, worried of upsetting the pony.

"No... Don't stop..." The Pegasus mumbled as she relaxed and laid down. Twilight chuckled at the sight while her hand was petting Spike's belly because Spike was on his back, his hind leg kicking every now and then.

It was weird to the Pegasus, being touched like this. But it was also too nice to complain about it. To her, it could keep going like this for hours.

Sadly her stomach would not let her. It gave an angry growl from itself, to which Dash groaned in annoyance while he girls laughed.

"You haven't eaten yet, have you, Dash?" Sunset said.

"I wasn't hungry.."

"Dash it's the middle of the day."

"It is?" Dash asked, taking a short glance to the light between the tent doors, that was coming from outside. "Oh.."

"Well at least the medicine gets your appetite back." Sunset commented and grabbed the basked with vegetables. She had put it under the bed to hide it.

The Pegasus went straight to eating.

The princess of friendship was getting more and more anxious as she flipped through almost every single book she had.

"Um, Twilight?"

"Not now, Spike!"

"But Twilight-!"

"Spike! I said NOT NOW!"

The dragon just placed the vibrating book on the stack of books. Soon the Alicorn grabbed it in her magic and flipped through it. Her blind search came to an abrupt stop when she read the note she had gotten from Sunset Shimmer.

"Spike! I got a-"

"-note from Sunset Shimmer. I know. That's what I've been trying to tell you the whole time!!" The dragon exclaimed, deeply annoyed. Twilight only chuckled sheepishly at him.

"Well, at least we know she's save. But we have to find a way to get Dash back as soon as possible."

"Tell me something I don't know."

Twilight thought for a moment.

"I think I know how to repair the mirror!" The alicorn cheered and ran off, leaving Spike dumbfounded in the dark. He was about to call something after her, but only sighed and started re-shelving the books.
