Voyage Of The Unforgotten!
Chapter 26- A Lullaby for a Baby!

Rainbow Dash's P.O.V

It was quiet. No one talked about what happened in the building or not even talking about anything. What made it worse was that there were no more seats in the car. I sat between Sunset and Soarin in the front and was using both my hands to brace myself. Soarin saw me struggling and tried to find ways to help me get comfortable.

“Um, why don't you scooch over to Sunset a bit more?”

“I can't scooch over she's driving.”

“Oh yeah you're right.”

There was a long pause as I sighed again. I realized why it was to quiet. Everyone was knocked out cold. I was a bit tired too but I had to knock it off.

“Well, how about you sit in my lap?”

“Why?”

“Cause I'm the only one with a seatbelt. Safety first.”

I bit my lip and then made my way over to Soarin as I went under the buckle and rested next to Soarin.

“How's that?” He smiled.

“Hehehe it's fine.” I blushed in response. “You know that seatbelt thing was a pretty smooth move.”

“Hahaha, why thank you.”

I rested on his chest and started to relax a bit. Soarin felt cozy. Like really cozy. I buried my face in this chest and he didn't seem to get mad at all. I could feel the heat rise on my cheeks and the heat in his bright smile.

“We're almost home you guys.” I heard Sunset say as she yawned a bit. Soon everyone woke up from their little nap and started stretching and Pinkie yawned extra loud.

“Are we there yet?” Pinkie asked as she was stretching a bit.

“Almost! Hang in there guys!” Sunset smiled. Soarin tapped my head and I looked right into his emerald eyes. We both blushed but we stared at each other for a few seconds until he looked away.

“U-Um Dashie we're almost home.” He said as he chucked a bit. “S-Stop staring at me like that.”

“Like what?” I joked around as I made my eyes cross and stuck my tongue out. He laughed and he booped my nose.

“Get up!” He said in a few giggles and I laughed back. We reached near the Southern part of Chennai and then Sunset started to scream. Like holler!!

“Woah what's wrong?” Twilight asked as she was cleaning her glasses.

“No no no no no no no no!!! This can't be happening!!” She screamed even more.

“Why what's going on?” Soarin asked.

“The car's out of gas!”

The car came to an automatic stop and we were stuck in the middle of the road. Sunset was super angry! She slammed her hands on the wheel and after a few hits, she rested her head on the wheel and started crying. I heard her mumble a few words. I was hungry now and I happened to smell some food or something edible in the glove compartment. I got up from Soarin's grasp and opened it to reveal some green stuff in a ziplock bag. I grabbed it as fast as possible and then started eating it down.

“Well, we're all gonna have to walk now.” Applejack sighed as she opened the car door. Everyone piled out and Sunset started grumbling while walking down the street. It was dark and chilly and we couldn't see anything really. I was still eating the green stuff and sort of felt light headed. I started walking in a weird way and then I was fully alert and started causing a heap of trouble.

Soarin's P.O.V

I looked behind me to see if Dashie was okay but she was spinning around in circles and even giggling to herself. We all came to a stop to see what's wrong with her.

“Uh where'd you get that from?” Twilight asked her. She was still spinning and then she looked at her and laughed. Dash took Twilight's glasses and then she wore them.

“Ooohh shiny~” Dash said as she was looking at the sky. Twilight was trying to get her glasses back but then Sunset tried to get the glasses back but failed.

“Wheeee!! I ship you two!” Dash did a pirouette and then pushed Sunset and Twilight together but Sunset moved away.

“Dash what's gotten into you? And what's that in your hand?” Sunset asked as she inspected the bag that Dash had.

“Oh this? I found in the the glove compartment. I was hungry and no one was gonna feed me so I started eating it!” Dash giggled and then went to Applejack and took her hat.

“Oh dear Celestia!” Sunset cried out. Me and Pinkie both looked at the bag in shock.

“Hmmm what's pot?” Pinkie asked.

“Oh no! It's weed!”

“You eat weed? I thought you smoke it.” Pinkie thought.

“Well you can eat raw weed and still get high off of it.” Sunset sighed as she saw Dash dancing and spinning around with Applejack's hat and Applejack running after her for it. “But I can't believe she got that in the glove compartment! And no one saw her taking this out?!”

“I did see her eating something but I assumed she was chewing gum. Not eating weed.” I bit my lip and tried to get Dashie to calm down. She started climbing the tree and laughing historically.

“Come on Dash! Out the tree!” I commanded her. She let go of the tree and she was falling and then she hit the grass. She started rolling all over the grass and I pinned her down to calm her down.

“Relax!” I yelled at her. She didn't care and she even got worse.

“Hey professor! I'll do anything to get an A~” She said in a very lusterly tone. She stuck her tongue out and gave me a very very seductive look. I blushed deeply and carried her on my back.

“Ooohh you wanna carry me to the room professor~ you're so sneaky~ I LIKE it!” She growled and then laughed even more. Applejack took the bag of weed from her and then threw in the trash.

“No more weed for you!” She said as she placed her hat on her head.

“Hehehehe~ you're just mad because I gotta fatter ass than you and you know it~” Dash gargled and then started laughing like a creepy clown.

“I can't her anymore!!” Pinkie squealed as she held some of her hair in her fingers.

We finally reached the palace and she was annoying us so much. Talking and laughing so hard she even couldn't open the door. She slammed her face on the door so many times. Once we opened the door, she sat on the couch and led her legs spread. I tried to look away but I did but I guess she saw me.

“Stay~” She sang trying to be like Mariah Reynolds and she successfully did it. My face turned red and so did hers. Her hair was puffy and her bang was cover her face a bit and she pushed it aside and gave me that seductive look again.

“Hey~” My mind responded back even if I didn't say anything to her. I kept staring at her just her perfect body figure and- GAHHH SOARIN WTF STOP!! She giggled and smirked at me.

“Aw come on Soarin. How can you say no to this?” She smirked and laughed.

“I can say no but I wish I couldn't, ya know…?” I responded with my eyes shut and was shaking a bit. Beads of sweat formed on my face and then Fluttershy came next to me.

“You okay Soarin?” She asked politely and I just hollered out.

“GAHHHH!!! Oh sorry Fluttershy, just tell Dash to close her legs. I'm feeling very uncomfortable.”

She nodded her head and turned to Rainbow Dash with a stern look on her face and folded her arms. Rainbow Dash's hair was in a mess and she didn't care.

“Rainbow, be respectful and close your legs please. That's very rude!!”

“And yes that's very unlady-like!” Rarity stepped in.

“Ugh fine!”

She closed her legs and then she walked up the stairs and slammed the door.

“Great we made her upset.”

“Eh it's for the best.” Pinkie said while eating a banana.

“Uh Twilight what are you doin’?” Applejack asked her while fixing her hat.

“Oh, I'm making an antidote for Dash to eat so she can be better by morning. She ate so much that her body won't function for a few days so an antidote will help!” Twilight smiled as she was stirring up a bowl of something disgusting. It smelled like dirty socks, vomit, and trash.

“Oh Darling! What is that horrid smell?!” Rarity exclaimed as she was holding her nose and almost barfed.

“Don't tell me Dash is supposed to eat…..that!!” Sunset pointed out.

“Indeed she is! The ingredients in this bowl will surely help her recuperate by morn!”

“And what exactly are the ingredients?” Pinkie questioned as she held her nose too.

“Oh, some 4 month old oatmeal, worms, olive oil, and also cow intestines!” Twilight replied while smiling sheepishly. “I know it sounds atrocious but I'm sure this will help her out!”

“Oh gosh that can kill a horse!!!” Pinkie exclaimed.

“Uhhhhh, that’s a bit...um…” Sunset coughed up as she started to blush a bit. Pinkie realized her mistake and then she scratched the back of her neck with a little “Oops!” in reply.

“Um anyway, where is she?”

ALL we heard was a loud thud and some giggling.

“Dashie is here!!!” She smiled as she almost fell down the stairs. Applejack ran to catch her and she eventually did.

“Woah there Dash. Take it easy!”

“Ooohh you're pretty cute~” Dash said as she grabbed her hat again and wore it on her head. “How bout you ride me till I'm blue in the face?”

“Um no. You're not doing anything besides eating this!” Twilight shoved the bowl of antidote to her. She gave a confused look then slammed her body to the chair.

“What the...FUCK is that?!” She screamed.

“Watch your language! Anyway, you're gonna sit here and eat all of it.” I pushed her towards the table to eat it. She seemed like she was REALLY going to eat it.

“Oh goodie!!!” She beamed brightly and then she passed out and her head splashed into the bowl and the bowl flew up in the air and stuck onto the ceiling. We all stood there in shock and Pinkie poked her cheek but no response.

“Are you dead?” She asked her as she lifted Dashie's bang out her face. “Can I date Soarin if you're dead?”

No response at all. I blushed at Pinkie's remark and I smacked my forehead.

“Uh why did you say that?”

“I dunno, usually when I talk about you, she jumps up and smiles. I guess this didn't work this time.” Pinkie shrugged her shoulders.

“Uh check her pulse.” Twilight started to freak out. Sunset checked her pulse and nodded. Everyone went away and I stood there watching Dash being knocked out cold. I grabbed a towel and wiped off the antidote from her face. And then carried her to her room and placed her in her bed.

Rainbow Dash's P.O.V

The next day...

I opened my eyes closely and then I realized then that I was in my room. I looked over my bed and saw Soarin smiling down on me.

“Hey.” He smiled and his adorable smile is so adorable. Wait didn't I just say that?

“Hi.” I replied as I tried to sit up in my bed without squirming in pain.

“How ya feeling?”

“Tired and my head is pounding.”

“Yeah you ate weed.”

“I did what?!?!?”

“Shush! That was yesterday. You're fine now. I hope.”

“I'm alright, I'm just weak and tired.”

“Wanna rest some more?”

“Nah I think I can manage. What time is it?”

“2pm why?”

“Oh just asking. I'm just really hungry!” I cried out while hearing my belly grumble. Me and Soarin both smiled and then he got up and walked to the door.

“Hahaha, well, I made ya some soup. I made it because I knew you wouldn't wake up around morning. So here ya go.”

“Awwww thank you Soarin! Well, one things for sure, I'm going to eat all of this and probably more because I am starving!” I replied while licking my lips and smelling the delicious bowl of soup.

“I figured you might say something like that so I made you the whole pot. But you gotta eat all of that first.”

“Don't worry, I will. I can eat this in 10 seconds flat.”

“Oh don't do that even if I know you can. Just take your time and eat. No one is chasing after you for it.”

“Hehehe you might.”

We both died of laughter and also I started eating the soup. After a few minutes, I ate more. I rested the empty bowl on the drawer and stretched my body. I hear Monoko barking and he leaped into my arms.

“Hey Monokokins! How are you? You hungry?”

He wagged his tail and barked in reply. We both went down the stairs and I saw my dad talking to my aunt with a smile on his face. Not just my aunt, my friends, my grandmother and Soarin. They were all in the living room smiling and cracking some jokes. I smiled seeing how everyone was getting along.

“Hey what you all smiling and joking about?” I smirked at all of them as they all turned around and saw me.

“Well good afternoon to you too young lady.” My grandmother replied to my comment. I blushed realizing I didn't say good afternoon.

“My apologies! Good afternoon everyone. Father.” I bowed to him and to all my friends and my family.

“Well good afternoon Rainbow Dash. You feeling better?”

“Yup after Soarin's soup I feel more energized! Thanks ya goof!” I laughed causing him to chuckle. My dad smiled a bit and then he got up from his chair.

“Well, your friends were just telling me what happened and how Ramõn wasn't really Ramõn. I'm awfully sorry for accepting his proposal..”

“Daddy you were under his spell. There was nothing you could've done. It's done now. All I have to do now is go to that hive and retrieve the sapphire and go and save Gemporia before it's too late!” I beamed and started looking around the room. “Oh um Daddy? Where are mom's bows and arrows?”

“Uh how would I know?” He cocked his head to the side.

“Oh I thought you knew! Well, I have to find it since she mentioned it in her diary entry the last time I was reading it.”

“Oh you were reading that when I barged into your room am I right?”

“Yup! She has given me so many information!”

“Speaking of your mother, I have something from her to give to you.” My dad smiled as he was walking down the hall. “Come! You will love it!”

I followed him down the hall to a dark alleyway. My dad picked up an old looking stone and brushed it off.

“Here read this.” He smiled passing it to me. I picked up the stone in my hands and I couldn't understand anything. Maybe because it was Hawaiian.

“Um Dad? What is this?”

“Your mother wrote this for you and placed it over your bed when you were little. It was a lullaby. She sang it to you every night before you slept. Neither of us didn't know the English translation but I know they were words of encouragement.” My dad started tearing up and so did I.

“I-I think I remember how'd it went.” I started crying like a baby. I wiped my tears and smiled a bit. My dad chuckled a bit and handed my a ukulele.

“This was your mother's as well. Once you find that tune, play it with all your heart.” He smiled as he walked out the door. I stood there holding the stone and the ukulele. I went to my room and then placed the stone on my wall and took the ukulele and didn't touch any strings yet. I took a deep breath and also tried to remember how it was tuned. And once I did, that's when I knew~

Flashback…

“Dashie? Where are you sweetie?” A young woman called out to her child trying to look for her. The young woman heard a crying voice under the bed and soft sniffles and rainbow hair surrounding the ground as the little girl was crying. She saw the puddle of tears as the little girl cried more.

“Awwwwww Dashie. What happened?” The woman had sympathy for her and kneeled down next to the girl under the bed. The little girl sniffed and looked at her mother with sadness. Her bright, big, gorgeous magenta eyes were filled with tears as she cried more.

“Mommy…..those bullies bullied today….”

“Oh they did?!”

“Yeah…”

“Well, they don't know who they are messing with.” The woman carried the little girl on her lap and carried a ukulele in her hands.

“What do you mean mommy?”

“I mean you're a brave strong warrior on the inside. Whenever they start to bully you, always think of mommy and daddy and also this song.” The woman smiled and kissed her daughter's forehead. The woman flicked the strings softfully as she created a beautiful tune that made the little girl close her eyes.

“Ou mata e matagi
Ou loto mamaina toa
Manatu atu
Taku pelepele
Pa mai to mafanafanaga
Saolotoga tenei
Manatunatu
Ki tamafine
Maua ai te lumanai
Ki tamafine
Ou mata e matagi.”

The little girl was in awe listening to her mother's soft yet striking voice as it struck her heart. The little girl sucked her thumb and rested on her mother's lap. The woman kissed her little baby girl to sleep and said a little something before she left the room.

“Good night my lovely Dashie. May you sleep well in peace. Tomorrow will be another day, my lovely strong warrior, ou mata e matagi.”

End of flashback….

Tears formed down my eyes as I remembered that day like it was yesterday. During my flashback, I realized I was playing the song because I saw Soarin clapping his hands by the door. I looked up at him and started laughing.

“Hahaha only you!” I chuckled and placed the ukulele on the bed. “What are you doing here sneaking up on me?”

“I couldn't just keep going after listening to a lovely voice with a lovely tune. So what were ya playing?”

“A lullaby my mom used to sing to me whenever I was having a bad day or whenever I was tired, sad, or even angry. Even happy. That song will always stay with me. Why'd you ask?”

“Welp, I'm feeling a bit tired ya know? After last night?” He joked and made a fake yawn and then he rested his head on my lap and cuddled. I couldn't hold back my laughter but I pushed his head away from my lap.

“Get up! You're such a goof!!” I laughed out loud.

“So you're leaving huh?”

“Yeah I better go as soon as possible anyway. It's time I really do this. Who knows what Chrysalis would do to that sapphire. That's why I'm going off onto my journey.”

“You're taking your friends with right?”

“Why would I? It's too dangerous.”

“It's even dangerous for you Dashie. Stay, let the goddesses find someone else to voyage to save their country.

“No Soarin. They asked me to do it. I owe them. Now I have to go and play my part.” I said between a few grunts because I was packing my bags. “Alone!”

“Alright...I hope you find what you're looking for.” Soarin sighed and went by the door. He looked back and then he went his way. I could tell he was a bit upset I was leaving. And so was I. I bit my lip and called him back.

“Soarin wait! You looked like you wanted to tell me something. So what is it?”

He bit his lip and he stuffed his hands in his pockets. Now that I knew it was something either bothering him or he is a bit nervous to ask me. It might be the second one because his cheeks were a bit pink.

“Well, um, t-this is just a thought…I was thinking if I can, um, i-i-if I can um, j-join you on your voyage to Gemporia. But you're going alone so I didn't want to interrupt the-”

“Wait you wanted to voyage with me?” I asked as my face turned a bit of a bright pink. He nodded his head and also blushed deeply.

“Awwwwww Soarin that's so sweet of you. But I dunno if I can ta-”

“Don't worry Master Dashie! Soarin can definitely join. The more the merrier!” Crystal smiled as she did a little twirl in mid air. Me and Soarin both smiled at one another and I shook his hand.

“Welcome aboard Soarin!”

“I'm happy to be of assistance!”

The door bursted open and Sunset did a flip and then she hit her head on the bed frame. She got up from her fall and stood next to me.

“I'm coming along too!!” Sunset smiled. “Uh, hehehehe, we totally weren't eavesdropping….” She blushed and me and Soarin saw all of my friends come from behind the door and smiled sheepishly.

“Oh please oh please oh please Dashie let us join you! We promise we won't be a distraction! We know how important this is to you! And we're going to help you every step of the way right girls?!” Pinkie exclaimed. All do them nodded their heads and smiled. I took a deep breath and sighed.

“You promise to be on your best behaviors?” I asked them. Pinkie looked up to the sky and started humming a note and Twilight smacked her upside her neck.

“Owwie! Twilight that hurts! And don't worry Dashie! We got this!” Pinkie beamed in enthusiastic bouncy energy.

“I cross my heart and hope to fly stick a cupcake in my eye!” They said and then hugged me.

“I hope you guys pack now cause I'm leaving on Saturday.”

Everyone laughed and started running to separate rooms and started packing. Me and Soarin chuckled and he made me laugh.

“Are you ready?”

“Hehehe for what Soar?”

“To have some fun.”

“Like?”

“Geez Dashie I was talking about the voyage!!”

“Oh yeah right, hehehehe….” I blushed from total embarrassment and covered my face. I walked away from him while clearing my throat and accidentally fell over my bag of clothes that I was packing from.

“Hehehe, whoops!!”

“Uhh, what were you thinking about….?”

“Nothing!! It’s nothing. Well, it’s late so I’ll see ya tomorrow.”

“Yeah, I’d like that.”

Soarin walked to the door and smiled and then he was about to walk off when I called out to him.

“Soar, I, um, well, um, what I want to say is, um, thank you!”

“Hehehe for what? Keeping you company?”

“Yeah and agreeing to voyage with me. I was pretty nervous about doing this all alone, ya know?”

“Yeah, I feel ya. No worries. I’m always here if you need anything. I’m excited to join you ya know.”

“Huh, you are? Coming from a guy who’s so shy likes adventure. That’s new.” I teased. He gave a small, adorable chuckle and shook his head.

“Dashie, you’re one of a kind.”

Did my ears just deceive me???!! He called me ‘one of a kind’. I tried hard not to fangirl to loud but I did a very loud squeak and covered my mouth before Soarin saw my face again. He laughed and brushed his hair to the side and walked out the door. I sighed and leaned against my room door and at the corner of my eye, I saw my aunt smirking at me.

“I knew you had a thing for him.”

I jumped up in fright and turned around and saw her laughing at me.

“Don’t scare me like that!!!”

“Hehe, you shouldn’t be daydreaming about him. If you love him so much…” She pointed to a picture of my mom and dad and I knew what she was talking about.

“No! S-Soarin can’t be the future king of India! I mean he's my best friend! I can't marry him!”

“Actions speak louder than words Dash. I see how you are around him. And agreeing to make him join your voyage was the best way!”

I paused for a moment and took a deep breath. My aunt gave me a reassuring look and rested her hand on my shoulder.

“Look sweetie. All of this tension has been going on for years. I know you want your mother back, so do I. But she's with you giving you love every day. Sweetie you have to-”

“Well I can't feel anything!! Why...did she die…”

“...Sweetie, I don't have those answers. That's why Soarin can be your only chance to love and-”

“I don't wanna rush things! Why is everyone forcing me?!”

“Honey we're not forcing you. We're trying to help you. Look, think about it over your voyage. I'm just trying to make you happy, and by the looks of it, Soarin makes you happy. Am I right?”

“Oh aunt, Soarin makes me feel more than happy.” I replied softly and blushed. She smirked and kissed my forehead.

“Well, take things slow. From experiencing from both your father and mother, they both took time.”

“Yes! I'm not going to rush it.”

“Hehehe, it's funny cause your father used to rush it.”

“He did what?!”

“You don't remember?”

I stopped and then remembered when my dad used to try and find a boy in India to date me. Ugh, those cringey moments of my childhood!

“Well it's late. You better get some rest if you want to voyage Saturday. You know I'm going to miss you right?”

“Hehe yeah I know. I'll talk with you tomorrow!”

We both hugged and she closed my door and I plopped my body weight on the bed with force. I took up the ukulele and looked at it. I sighed and thought about today.

“Do I really want to voyage….but in order to save my country and Gemporia, I have too. This is what my ancestors want me to do. And most importantly, my mother. I'll do it for my friends, India, and for my MOTHER!!!”
