Voyage Of The Unforgotten!
Chapter 31- An Eye For an Eye!

Rainbow Dash's P.O.V

“Ooh it's so damp.”

The smell of the atmosphere was strangely different. It had a thick and musty smell and the air was humid. Beads of sweat formed our faces as we were walking through the jungle for about 30 minutes now. The strange sounds of many different animals were screeching all over the place. The mosquitoes buzzing all around and the wasps and bees buzzed in sync. The sounds of leaves crunching by our heavy feet. Until a complaining sound interrupted us.

“This is just...just…” Rarity was about to say while using a leaf to fan herself.

“Incredible! The jungle is such a fascinating place for all different types of animals!” Fluttershy smiled. “Isn't that right Monoko?”

“I think Monoko is getting a bit dehydrated from this heat.” Soarin carried Monoko in his arms.

“Fascinatin’ you say? More like confusin’. This place is like a blazin’ sauna but coops you up and has different directions like a labyrinth.” Applejack used her hat to swat some flies.

“Well, I don't think this place is too bad. I mean it's very moist.” I squeezed through some branches and kept walking.

“Ugh I couldn't agree more. Besides do you even know where we're going?” Sunset tapped my shoulder and drank a bottle of some of her ice cold water. I turned around and started to drool. She looked at me and then at the bottle.

“Oh no you don't!” She huffed and clutched onto her bottle and kept walking.

“Sunset sharing is caring!” I grunted.

“Well I'm not sharing today. I need water.”

“We all do darling. We're all dehydrating.” Rarity was panting and then rested on Applejack but then she jumped off her.

“Goodness Applejack! You're wet!”

“I'm not wet for no reason Rarity. For cryin’ out loud we've been on this island for about 40 minutes and I'm tired, hungry and I gotta use the bathroom and bein’ sweaty isn't goin’ to help!”

“Well I'm sure a wittle, teeny, tiny break won't hurt us. Right Dashie?!” Pinkie hopped and then also rested on a stump. She stretched a bit and drank some chocolate milk on her bottle. “Mmmmmm, tasty!”

“Yeah...a break….awesome…” I panted and then collapsed on a log and coughed. “Breaks are fun….”

“Woah Master Dashie! Do you need some water?”

“Yes ma'am!!” I grabbed Crystal’s little jar of water and drank a bit. “I know you need the rest for magic abilities but I'm thirsty!”

“Hehehe, it's okay master. It's my job to make sure you're okay. Now, a little break is good for all of us. Just don't make it too long. Most of us is thirsty and everyone here is hungry include little Monoko. I'm hungry too.” Crystal sighed and fanned herself and rested on a branch.

We all rested near one another and started panting and wishing the heat will go away. But it didn't. After 5 minutes of drenching in heat, I heard Pinkie's voice.

“Uh Dashie? We've got a problem.”

“What is it?” I mumbled.

“It's Crystal.”

“What about her?” I mumbled again making no eye contact to Pinkie whatsoever.

“She's trapped in one of those plants where their mouths are like traps for little flies or something like that. I'm not really good and science and stuff but I'm sure Twilight is-”

“SHE'S WHAT?!?!” I jumped up and clutched onto her shirt. Pinkie pointed to a very viscous and rampaging venus fly trap clutching onto Crystal’s leg. Crystal was fighting back and was grunting.

“I got this.” I huffed and grabbed the Harmony sword and cut off the stem of the venus fly trap. Crystal used her magic to cut her way out of the opening and smiled at me.

“Whew! Now that's what I call a sticky situation! Now that's over, let's go find some food and shelter.” Crystal rubbed her stomach and licked her lips. After a few groans, we all attempted to walk again.

The crunching of more leaves were sounding as our feet stomped on the ground hard. Our stomping created a tempo and Pinkie started bouncing up and down and then had a smile on her face.

“The marching ants go one by one, hurrah! Hurrah! The marching ants go one by one, hurrah! Hurrah! The marching ants go one by one and the little one stops to suck his thumb! And the ants go marching down! In the ground! In the dirt! In the soil! In the...in the...uhh a little help here Twilight?!” She said while still marching in the same tempo and kept trying to continue her little song.

“Uhhh, in the trees?” Twilight shrugged her shoulders and fixed her glasses.

“Perfect! In the ground! In the dirt! In the soil! In the trees! In the-”

“Hole!” Sunset smiled at her.

“Hole! Yes! Anyone else wanna help continue the song?” Pinkie kept bouncing and then her stomping made a mango fall on her head. “Ouch! Was that a pinecone?”

“No! It's...it’s-”

“FOOD!!!” We all exclaimed at once and we all jumped at once and we fought each other for the food. Punching and kicking and biting were the only ways that one of us were trying to get that mango. After a good minute or two, Fluttershy grabbed the mango and stood in a stump.

“Stop it all of you! One day we've been on this island and we've become animals!!” She shouted.

“Either the mango or we'll have some meat!!” Pinkie twitched a bit and was crawling towards Fluttershy. Sunset grabbed the mango and was about to smash it on the ground while all of us were trying to make her stop.

“NO SUNSET WHAT ARE YOU?!? CRAZY?!” I exclaimed.

“Maybe I am! This is crazy! If you guys stop acting like some vicious animals that want to kill someone over a small mango, then I won't drop it! I'm hungry myself but all of this, it's just overkill!!”

It was all silent and I rubbed my arm and smacked my forehead.

“Ugh, Sunset and Fluttershy are right. This is overkill! We are acting like animals that never ate before...look I'm sorry. It's my fault we're all in this mess…” I sighed.

“Aha! See? I told you it was her-mmmph!!” Twilight snapped her fingers and then Sunset shoved the mango in her mouth.

“Yeah it was my fault. If I wasn't so focused on getting to Gemporia and only thinking about myself, we wouldn't be here. This is my fault and I'm sorry. I dunno what else is new. I always cause problems.”

“Awww sugarcube, ya don't always cause problems. We each go through some hardships. We just gotta work through them together.” Applejack smiled at me.
“Applejack's right darling! Even if bad things happen, we're all human! And every single human being makes mistakes in our everyday lives.”

“Even if one of them happens to make us get deserted on an island!” Pinkie giggled a bit.

“We'll learn from them. Now let's get some real food to eat and some place to stay for the night!” Soarin stretched a bit and started walking. We all followed him and then after a long walk through the jungle, we found a tiger.

“Woah look at the size of that tiger!” Pinkie stood there in awe. I looked in her area and saw the chicken walking by the tree. I licked my lips and then grabbed my bow and arrow and then was about to let go of the arrow but Pinkie stopped me.

“Wait! You can't just kill it so easily! You gotta create a diversion!” She smiled. She grabbed some branches and then she gave me and Soarin one branch and then she smiled.

“Use these to branches to pull the trap closer to the tiger! Sunset and I will make sure it reaches the trap. Just make sure it's angled correctly!”

“But I wanna do the fun part…” I replied softly and then rolled my eyes.

“Dashie, this is the fun part. I'm doing this with you so it's definitely fun.” Soarin smiled and then held onto his branch carefully. “You ready?”

I nodded my head and then we both tried to find a perfect spot for the tiger to get into the trap. We both grunted and tried to find a way to follow the tiger's movements. The tiger moved all around as Sunset and Pinkie tried to get it to the trap but every time they tried to capture the tiger, we would move the trap as well. With all this movement, eventually me and Soarin didn't realize we were face to face while touching each other's noses. We both blushed a dark shade of red and Soarin coughed a bit.

“Um, hehehe, we're stuck…” I sighed as our noses were rubbing against each other.

“Well, maybe try and go back?”

“Yeah but my hand is under yours so um, this is crazy...and embarrassing..”

“Aww Dash it's not that bad, I'm sure we can find a way out of this mess.”

We both looked away as our lips almost pressed against one another but the minute that happened, we both moved away from each other but the rope pulled us back together and now we were closer than before. It got pretty quiet and then we heard rustling.

“We caught the tiger! Thanks to you two and- woah! What's going on here?!” Twilight's jaw dropped at the sight of us squished together. We both blushed darker while Soarin looked away from Twilight and I screamed at her.

“It's not what it looks like! I swear!!”

“Hahaha, that's what they all say. I got this.” Sunset smiled as she took my sword and then cut the rope off and then laughed at me.

“See? Even nature wants you two together.” She whispered in my ear.

“Okay! Now that we got this tiger, I'm sure we can eat now. Applejack? Tie it up and make sure it doesn't escape. Soarin? You gather up some wood and make a fire. The rest of us, we're going to make ourselves comfortable. It's almost sundown so right here is a good place to stay.” Twilight sniffed the atmosphere.

Later that night….

Day 2 of our voyage. We're finding a place to camp for the night as we eat some tiger meat. The island isn't that bad. I mean there's animals we can kill to eat and also some lakes to take a shower. But the heat is awful! I hope we can find Gemporia soon….

“Dash are you going to eat?” Soarin looked at me and cupped his hands to stay warm.

“Yeah I am. Just writing thoughts down.” I smiled and closed my mom's diary and shoved it back in my bag. I took a bite of the meat and took more bites. Even if we didn't use seasoning, it still tasted good.

“Wow Applejack! Great job cooking the meat! It's awesome!”

“Thanks Dash. It looks like Fluttershy still ain't eating her food..”

“I'm not eating animals. I'm not eating animals. I'm not eating...precious, i-innocent...ANIMALS!!!” She screamed and then started to cry.

“Oh please! You eat fish!” I rolled my eyes.

“THAT'S DIFFERENT!!!!” She bawled. She looked at the meat and then placed it in front of her face.

“W-Well...it does look delicious and I am hungry…” She stared at it and then gulped. “I mean, a bite won't hurt...would it?”

“Hey it's up to you. I'm sure we can take some leaves and cook them for you-”

“Oh no! Spare the plants!” She paused. She started to shake rapidly and then close her eyes. She grabbed the meat and then bit into it and gave a huge gulp.

“It doesn't taste bad at all. Awww, I can't believe I just did that…”

“Haha! I sure can! That was awesome Flutters! Look, if you're in the wild, you're gonna have to act like you're apart of it. That goes for everyone here.”

“Okey dokey lokey! I'm tired.”

“Hehehe, we all are. We need some rest. Good night everyone. Tomorrow, let's find a way to get out of here.”

“Yeah we'll try…”

The next day….

Day 3 of our voyage continues in the heat as we're drenching in the blazing rays of the sun. Longing for some cold refreshing water and Pinkie singing songs to lift our spirits but it doesn't work…

“Home! Home on the range! Where the deer and the antelope play. Where seldom is heard a discouraging word,
And the skies are not cloudy all daaaaaaayyyy!” Pinkie held the note on ‘day’ and then she collapsed on the floor.

“This is hopeless!” I bailed out and then began to tie my shoelaces.

“Oh? What's that? This is hopeless you say?” Pinkie questioned while her hair deflated and then she grabbed a random boulder and then looked at it. “Do you think we're lost little fella? Oh no no no! Hahahahaha, I figured that out too!” Pinkie sounded drowsy but it looked like she was talking to the boulder itself.

“Are you talking to the-”

“Yes Soarin?! Is there a problem?!?” She snapped back.

“Not anymore….” He turned away quickly and started walking ahead of us. Monoko was fast asleep and I was carrying his tiny little body.

“Well I suppose it can't get any worse, can it?” Rarity asked as she walked over a log and stretched.

That's when we heard thunder roll and a huge lightning bolt struck in the sky and flashed like a camera. The rain poured so heavily that it soaked up all out clothes without hesitation.

“I suppose it can…”Sunset sighed and started walking in the puddles.

“How are we going to find a place to get out of this rain?”

“Ooooh oooh! I know! Rocky says that there is a cave where we can rest for the day.” Pinkie’s hair bounced back up and she sprung up from the ground and then she smiled at me.

“Who's Rocky?”

“Uh duhhh! The boulder! I'm sure there's a way we can reach the cave! Follow me!” Pinkie skipped on her way out and started singing “Skip To My Loo” and was smiling.

“I swear if this is another dead end…” Twilight grumbled.

“Come on everyone! Let's go!”

15 minutes later….

“See? Told ya we would've found a cave! Rocky was right!” Pinkie ran inside the cave. Applejack dropped her bag on the ground and then tapped the sides.

“Ah gotta hand it to ya Pinkie. It's a stable place to stay, but I'm not sure if it'll keep us overnight…” Applejack bit her lip.

“Ugh of course it can't…” Pinkie grunted and sat on the floor.

“Darling, I’m going to agree with Applejack on this one. It's clearly damp and dark in here.”

“Well, we'll make a fire. That's not hard right?” Fluttershy turned around and sat on the floor.

“Ah guess not. Well, let's get some sleep. G'night y'all.”

“Night.”

We all snuggled against one another for warmth and most of us got knocked out. Until Pinkie woke us up.

“It's a small world after all-”

“Ahh Pinkie!!!” We all exclaimed.

“Oh hehe sorry..night!!”
