Chapter 2- The Lost Princess!
Rainbow Dash's P.O.V
“Oh my goodness! Oh my goodness!!”
“Is she okay?!”
I woke up and saw all my friends in my face and Gloriosa with a towel and placed it over my forehead.
“Here hon, this will cure that huge bump.” Gloriosa smiled. I sat up on the table and looked around.
“Am I in the storage room in Camp Everfree?” I asked.
“YUP!!! Sunset said you fell and got a boo-boo! See that bump? Huge boo-boo!” Pinkie chirped as she tapped my head.
“I feel lightheaded!” I squealed in pain and got headaches.
“Awwwwwww you poor thing.” Fluttershy smiled and rubbed my back. I smiled and yawned.
“Oh, and Dash, here. Go crazy cause I couldn't write to Twilight!” Sunset smiled as she gave me her book and a pen.
“We'll let you write to her. Let's leave her alone guys.” Twilight said as she walked out the door.
Everyone left and it was quiet. I picked up the book and grabbed the pen. The book felt so magical. It felt heavy but what did it hold? I opened the book and found one of Sunset's letters to Twilight. I read some of it.
“Dear Princess Twilight,
I'm having trouble with friendships here in Canterlot High. Everyone I know likes me and well my friends here like me but I still feel that I'm left out. Sometimes I feel like crying and when they talk about things of that world, I feel left out. I need advice about this. Cause, I feel that deep down inside they still think I am that same demon that you all defeated. Sometimes even when we talk about magic, they bring stuff from my past. I am really disappointed and I think that they still haven't forgiven me.
Your friend, Sunset Shimmer
I looked at the page in shock. Tears rolled down my cheeks and the water stained the paper. I didn't know she felt that way. So happens that she wrote it yesterday night when I fell asleep. I started to cry and and sniffed. All this time I thought Sunset was happy, she wasn't. I heard the door open and saw her. I turned the page instantly and wiped my tears.
“Hey, so, did you get anything?”
I looked at her and gave her a big, nice, warm hug. She stepped back a bit and then hugged me back tightly. I felt her tears roll down carelessly and I smiled.
“I-I accidentally read your note to Twilight.”
“W-Why'd you do that?”
“Because I know how you feel.”
“You do? How? In what way?!”
“My people from my country. When, I was back home in my country, I made mistake by leaving. So, I can't go back because I feel that they will hate me forever, especially my dad. Sunset, you must learn that everyone makes mistakes. We're all human. Nobody's perfect. You are Sunset Shimmer. No one is like you.”
“Awwwwww thanks Dash. I can always count on you to make me smile.”
“I think you should tell everyone the truth.”
“And you should also tell them how you can translate Hindi.” She winked then laughed. I blushed and scratched the back of my head.
“Uh hehehe, good point. But, you're situation is more important than-”
“Are you serious?! That can wait! We've just seen Hindi writing on the wall and it came from your necklace! The words said daughter come to India, or something like that. But, why India?!”
“Uh………..”
“Nevermind. We'll discuss that later. We have campfire time. Let's go!”
When we got there, everyone looked at us.
“Where have you been? Timber was just getting to the good parts of his story!” Pinkie smiled as she stuffed some popcorn in her mouth.
“Lemme guess, another legend that is actually true that can turn siblings into a witch that contains Equestrian magic and ruin the camp?” I said sarcastically. Everyone looked at me in shock and Gloriosa saddened her bright smile and Timber seems furious.
“Oh, um, oops. Sorry about that.” I sat on a log and brushed my hair slightly. Timber continued his story and then he finished. I was falling asleep.
“Okay, who's next to tell a-”
“ME ME!! OOOHH PICK ME!! I'LL GO!!! ME ME ME!!!” Pinkie hollered in her seat as she raised her hand and waved it rapidly.
“Okay Pinkie go ahead!” Gloriosa said. I rolled my eyes. I tapped Sunset's shoulder and leaned in her ear.
“We're going to be hearing about ice cream and cake parties.” I joked. She snickered and slapped my leg.
“You're so rude.” She snickered.
“Okay, so now I'm going to tell you guys something that might surprise you. So, stay close. Anywho, when I was in middle school, my class learned about legends. And one of them really was very interesting. To be honest, I don't really understand it too much when I was younger. And I probably won't know now. But, I'm going to tell you anyway! A long long time ago in the ancient realms of India, there lived 7 gemstones of Pride and Harmony. And only 5 young goddesses harnessed these gems. As an old tradition, the maharajah receives a vision of who to pass down these gems. One day, the maharajah Orion, had a vision. He had two daughters. The eldest Phyra and the youngest Freya.” Pinkie started. I wasn't really paying attention until she said “Phyra”.
“P-Phyra?” I asked in fright.
“Yup!” Sunset smiled. “This is so interesting!”
Phyra is mom's name and she had a sister which is my aunt and her name was Freya. Wait, it's an Indian legend! What's my mom doing in a legend?!?!!
“Orion received a vision and the goddesses chose Phyra to harness the Garnet of Courage. Being jealous, Freya talked to her father and pleaded to him for making her get the gem instead. But her father couldn't change his mind because the goddesses already made a decision. Freya’s jealousy had created dark energy and dark forces that created disharmony around India causing harm. Phyra seeing this decided to take a stop to this. One of Freya’s dark forces was the Nuckelavee. The head of a human and the body of a horse. It was very dangerous and Phyra tried to defeat it but she had a little distraction.”
That's when I tried to put everything together. I remembered everything now! I remember that creature beating up my mom and fires and just everything Pinkie said. That's when my necklace glowed and I had the worst flashback ever!!!
Flashback…..
*screams everywhere*
“Momma?!”
“Dashie! Let's go!”
“But momma-”
“We don't have time for this! We must go!”
She grabbed the little girl and carried her on her back. The little girl wearing a simple dress and her mom in a fierce outfit. Her mom having a orange and pink Polynesian hibiscus in her hair. The monster cut her mom and she fell.
“Mom?!?!”
“D-Dashie...take this flower and whatever you do, don't lose it. This will guide you one day when you return home.”
“M-Momma…”
“Go…”
“M-Mom…?” Tears rolled down her cheeks rapidly.
“Go baby...there will be no place where I won't be with you. Now go. Don't turn back.”
The little girl ran as fast as she could. Hearing a loud scream from her mom and a explosion, she knew it was over…….
End of flashback……..
“Dash?! Dash?!” Sunset kept tapping me but I couldn't move. Tears rolling down my cheeks and heavy breathing wasn't helping.
“Hey Dashie?! You okay?!” Pinkie replied as she finished her legend.
Everything started becoming like a blurr. I closed my eyes and then opened it and it wasn't the camp fire. It was India and the same scene. I saw my mom telling little me to hold the flower in her hands. I started to cry and then sat down and cried. I heard my friends calling out to me and then the Nuckelavee came and stabbed me through the heart and that's when I screamed out loud.
“AAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!”

I saw Sunset in my tent and she came over and hugged me.
“Oh, I'm so glad you're okay!!”
“Am I in the tent?”
“Yup! After Pinkie said her legend, you were completely blanked out and then you passed out and I brought you here.”
“Oh, was it that obvious…?”
“Yeah. Why?”
“Nothing…I just had a flashback…”
“Oh? What about?”
That's when all my friends came in the tent and also Spike and they overheard everything.
“Nothing okay?”
“Look Dash. Recently, everyone's been talking about how things have been winded for you and everyone's so worried.” Twilight spoke up.
“W-Worried? For what?”
“All of...THIS!!!” Applejack shouted.
“Huh?!?!”
“All this India stuff and necklace and flower!!! What's going on?!” Sunset exclaimed.
“You're always fainting and everything and we don't know what's going on. It's about time you tell us something that we don't know!” Pinkie said angrily.
I looked down then looked back at them.
“Look, I have something very important to tell you about. But, don't freak out.” I pleased.
“AAAAA YOU'RE A CRIMINAL??!?!?!?!” Pinkie shouted as she jumped and she grabbed onto Applejack.
“No!!!! Lemme finish! Anyway, it's about my life!!!”
“Oh. Okay! Spill away!!” Sunset smiled.
“Okay, so you know how I translated those Indian words? Because, well, b-because I am an Indian. Not just any Indian, but my dad is the maharajah of India and my mom is the queen but she died in my face and well, that makes me the Indian princess….hehe.”
Everyone's mouth was open and Rarity looked like she was blessed.
“You're an Indian?!” Fluttershy asked.
“Your mom died?!” Applejack and Twilight shouted at the same time.
“YOU'RE AN INDIAN PRINCESS!?!?!?!?!?” Rarity screamed as loud as she can. She went in my face and pressed my cheeks together!! She looked in my eyes and then smiled. “Mhm! A true Indian! Explains the soft hair and the eyes.”
“So, um, you guys aren't going to get mad at me?” I looked away and a strand of my hair hang down.
“Why would we? You're so famous! I can't believe you're a princess!” Twilight laughed.
“Well, I am a princess. I changed my ways ever since I came here.”
“Haha, yeah, I can see that.”
“Oohh, do you have that dot on the middle of your forehead?!” Pinkie smiled big as she went in my face.
“Um excuse me?”
“You know that dot that makes Indian girls sexier. Right here!” She said as she pointed to her forehead.
“Oh, um, besides appearance, are you guys sure you guys don't hate me for lying to you guys for most of my life?”
“Dash! It's fine. I always wanted to travel to India. It seems like an amazing country!” Sunset beamed.
“Yeah, it is! The plants, the water, the beaches, the homes, mmmm the mangoes.” I licked my lips. Everyone else did it too.
“How's the weather?” Fluttershy asked sitting up in the chair.
“Oh, it's extremely hot.”
“Awwwwwwwwww!!!” They all sighed.
“But!!! There's AC in the palace. I can't wait to go back!”
“Then, why can't you? What's stopping you?!”
“My dad…”
“Look, your dad should appreciate everythin’ you went through. He should love ya and respect ya.” Applejack replied. I smiled and then hugged them all.
“Thanks girls! I love you all so much! Okay! So, let's try and see if we can go to India.”
I grabbed Sunset's laptop and looked up flight tickets for India. Pinkie kept freaking out and Twilight was making excited sounds. Once we looked up tickets, there were none?!?!
“What the-?!?!”
“They're all sold out?!?!?” I cried in shock.
“Apparently.” Sunset replied.
“Seriously?!?! I wanted to go to India for some nice juicy mangoes and also to see girls belly dance!!” Pinkie pouted.
“Okay! Chill! We will get there.” Twilight said. “Somehow..”
“Great! Ugh! Now what do we do?” Rarity mumbled.
“Well, we can't go without transportation. And by boat will be days! We need a plane transportation.” I said as I sighed. Rarity patted my back.
“Don't worry darling! We'll get there. But how?”
“I know!” Sunset exclaimed.
“Show me!” I replied as I pulled her shirt. She giggled and pushed me away slightly.
“I know a friend of mine who works for planes, jets, and other flying uses of transportation.” Sunset smiled. Pinkie grabbed her arm and jumped up and down.
“Oooh like drones?!?!?!”
“Ah, no Pinkie. Not drones. Planes. He can sell us one for a price. I don't know the price. I know it changes each month.”
“Well, where is he so we can talk to him?” Applejack replied firmly. Sunset smiled and everything transferred to when we were walking down the street.
“Timber was so generous to give us $50. He's such a sweetheart.” Twilight blushed.
“Yup. Oh, we're here!” Sunset said as she hesitated to knock the door. One look at the door made her stop as her hand held the knob slightly.
“What are you waiting for? Knock!”
She knocked and a few seconds later, a boy with yellow hair and bright orange skin and blue eyes, a bit taller than us and a bright smile.
“Sunset Shimmer?!” He asked as he smiled.
“Hey bro, it's me. How ya been?” She asked as they hugged one another.
“I'm great over the years. Y-Ya look great.” He smiled and blushed. Sunset looked away and blushed too.
“Oh, uh haha, yeah. Thanks. You too. Hey, um these are my friends. Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity and Rainbow Dash. We also need your help.”
“Oh, hello everyone. Nice to meet you. And what seems to be the problem?”
Sunset pushed me towards him and I smiled sheepishly.
“Oh, uh, hello. I'm Rainbow Dash and well, um, we all need to head to India right away. Hmm, let's say by the 13th of June?”
“India? Nice! What about the planes?” He asked.
“The tickets were sold out so Sunset said you were the best one for this!” Pinkie emphasized so Sunset could blush more, which she did.
“Oh did she?” He laughed. Sunset blushed hard and smiled.
“Haha yup. Well, you're the best one I know. So, do you have anything?”
“I would give you a jet before June 13th. But, it's the payment. Today is May 30th. I'm sure you have the money. It's lot especially if you want me to fly you there. That's a lot.”
“Yo Sketch. It's okay. Just tell us how much it is.” Sunset replied.
“Um, it's going to be $2,500?”
“Woah.”
“Yeah..”
“Don't feel bad. We can work together on this! We got 14 days. We have $500 on us now. We can do something to make us have 2,500 in no time!” I said with a bright smile.
“So, we'll get back to you as soon as possible.” Sunset beamed.
“You know, I really missed you Sunset.” Sketch replied as he held her hand. She blushed furiously and giggled.
“Same here. Well, um, I got to go and think of something. Bye!”
We closed the door and walked back to the camp. It was a long way, since we were still in the city.
“Hmmmm, so what can we do?” Twilight asked as she got a clipboard in her hands.
“Hmmm, we can do a car wash. And a very much mature car wash if you know what I mean.” Pinkie joked.
“Ewww no! Um, how about a dance party at the camp?” Fluttershy asked.
“We did that already. Remember, Crystal Ball?” I reminded her.
“Yes but, what's there to do?” Rarity questioned.
“We can make a kids play date! Make kids from the city, even the area come and have fun in the sprinklers or maybe arts and crafts in the room.” I spoke up.
“Dash, that's not bad at all. I guess you're helping with kids huh?” Applejack questioned. I blushed slightly.
“Well, yeah. I love working with children. Besides, I can help with anything. So, a kids play date is a go?”
“YEAH!!!!” Everyone said while we gave a group hug.
“So, where will it be?” Pinkie questioned as she gave an uncertain look.
“Um girls?” Fluttershy tried to speak up.
“Maybe by the school?” Twilight reassured herself seeing if she was going on the right path.
“No, not there. We're on break. We need to do it-”
“Girls?” Fluttershy asked again. But, no one was listening to her. Not even me, until she broke free.
“GIRLS!!!!!!! Ahem, I had a suggestion. Why don't we do it at the camp? There are houses near the area, and kids here who would love to play.”
“Wow Fluttershy! What an amazing idea! Dash? You up for it?” Sunset asked me.
“You bet I am!”
We all gave a group hug and shouted in excitement.
India here we come!!!!!
