Voyage Of The Unforgotten!
Chapter 41- Can You Feel The Love Tonight?

Soarin's P.O.V

The next day, the sun shone brightly through the curtains. The birds chirping and the loud orangutans screaming and shouting in the trees. Mosquitoes buzzed all around and the earth was still. No rain no wind. Just nature being itself. Half awaken from my unconsciousness, I happen to slightly shift in the bed groaning a bit as my body was numb from being still in one place for a few hours. I finally opened my eyes and yawned realizing that I was in a small room in a small hut. You could smell the funky straws and hay holding this place together. I scrunched up my nose and I tried sitting up.

At the corner of my eye, I spotted Dashie laying on the chair, clutching onto the pillow with one hand and the other a book. I chuckled softly as her loud snores erupted the room. Her drool made a long trail all over the pillow and eventually the book fell from her grasp.

“Aww what a cutie.” I whispered to myself trying to sit up more. Somehow, I didn't feel any pain at all. I knew I got stabbed trying to protect Dash but I don't remember what happened after that. I looked down at my stomach area to see the bloody wound covered by the bandages, but there were no blood there. I was so confused. Did they put some type of medication in me? Did I have a power source in my body that can prevent me from dying?! All these questions flooded my brain as there was a soft knock on the door and in came a nurse reading from her clipboard but when she saw me, she yelled and jumped up!

“My goodness!” She squealed. “You scared me!”

“I'm so sorry ma'am. My apologies.”

“No it's alright. I'm just surprised that you're up already. Ready to go and ready to start a new day!” She smiled as she examined me. “Your muscles are strong, your blood is fresh and pumping. Your heart beat is perfectly normal! Um you don't mind me touching you for a little while right?”

“Well you're the nurse.” I joked. She blushed slightly as she felt my upper arm muscles and then she compressed the bandages.

“Hmmm this is very interesting. I've never seen anything like this in my life!”

“What is it?!”

“Well, your bones and muscles are firm and you can feel the blood running through your veins which means your body is one hundred percent fit and there's not blood where the wound is. This is a miracle. I'll be right back! I'm going to tell the doctor about your recovery!”

The door closed and I stared back at the door in awe. Even the nurse said I'm fit and recovered. There must me some type of thing that went into my body when I was out. If the nurse or the doctor doesn't know, then who will?

I heard some groaning and mumbling and saw Dash yawning and stretching on the side. She scratched her hair and then hit her head on the pillow again. She smacked her lips a couple of times and snuggled the pillow tighter. I couldn't help but giggle a bit at the cutest unfolding to me.
“Un deux trois quatre cinq six sept huit neuf….” She mumbled. She got up from the chair and then she looked at me and then looked at the window and then back at me again. She gave a HUGE gasp and ran in my direction and hugged me tightly.

“Oh my gosh! Soarin is that...is that…”

“Hahaha yup. It's me Dashie.” I smiled at her. Honestly, seeing her smile makes my day! She giggled and then hugged me tightly and started kissing my cheek over and over again. I couldn't help but laugh loudly cause her lips were really ticklish.

“Hahaha alright! Geez woman don't kill me now!”

“Wasn't planning to ya goofball!! You don't know how much I've missed you.”

“I bet you were. I mean you sacrificed your magic and the-”

“Hey hey hey. Don't worry we're going to get them back. That's in the past.”

“We? Who's we?”

“WE AREEEE!!!” A bubbly voice interrupted us. The door swung open revealing all of Dashie's friends, Monoko, Sunrise, and Shivani. They all waved at me smiling.

“We were SO worried about you!” Twilight spoke up while breathing out. “I did everything in my power to make sure we found a heartbeat.”

“Or else Dash wouldn't be able to be smiling like a total idiot right now.” Sunrise chuckled. Dash gave her a glare but then sighed right after. She hugged me again and played with my hair.

“I'm just SO glad you're okay. I had a freak attack!”

“Ha! Tell me about it! Dashie's been pining for you ALL night! The drool trail and stains on that pillow prove it!” Pinkie pointed to the soaked pillow before giggling. “She drools a lot when she pines for you. This wasn't the first time!”

“Pinkie you can shut up now!” She groaned walking towards Pinkie as she giggled even more as she continued talking.

“Oh yeah! When we were in India before we meet you, she was pining for you so much she drools more than Monoko does. She actually was crying because-”

“Okay Pinkie!! That's enough storytelling for the morning!!”

I chuckled at how Dashie was just giving Pinkie glares while covering her mouth.

“Well how do you feel?” Fluttershy asked me as she was petting Monoko.

“I feel so much better. Honestly, I don't feel any pain at all. The nurse said it's a miracle.”

“Well, that's strange..” Twilight bit her lip while tapping her foot on ground.

“I'm just glad you're up and running.” Sunset smiled. “You've been through hell and back!”

“Yeah I heard.”

The room was buzzing with laughter and other conversations. I couldn't help but smile at everyone's happiness.

Transition to next scene….

“I still can't seem to understand how you recovered so fast?” Twilight bit her lip as we all sat around the table eating some little appetizers. “The calculations don't add up.”

“Who cares about calculations?! The best thing is that he's okay and he's doing well!” Pinkie stuffed a doughnut down her mouth and licked her lips. I saw Dash fiddle with her plate of food as she slumped in her seat a bit. I furrowed my brow and tapped her shoulder slightly.

“Are you alright?”

“Yeah I'm fine. It's just that we're only 7 days until Tirek strikes and we're not even close to finding Gemporia!” Her voice carried throughout the table.

“Darling, you need to stop stressing over this. It's making you….hmmm how should I say this? It's making you act like a crazy woman.”

“But I'm not! I don't think you guys understand that if I don't get that sapphire back and go to Tirek and challenge him to make Gemporia free and happy again, India and Gemporia will be ruined! My family and friends will all be distinguished!! I don't think you guys understand that!!”

“Woah Dash calm down. And we do understand that. But we're not stressing out about it.” Twilight spoke up but Dash huffed and looked away.

“What you need is a full day of relief. And that's what I'm going to do!” I smiled as I pulled her out the chair and ruffled up her hair.

“Good idea Soarin!” Applejack gave me a thumbs up.

“But I don't want-”

“Hush hush, we're going. Catch ya later guys!”

Rainbow Dash's P.O.V

For the whole afternoon, Soarin was just being a complete goofball. He kept smirking at me and then would stand behind a tree and try to spook me. The 5th time he did that, I was completely scared. It was quiet and I heard a branch crack and then he screamed “WHERE ARE YOU GOING!?!?” and so I accidentally slapped him in the face.

“Oh Soarin I'm super sorry!!!”

“Ah no it's okay. Ow, I deserved it!”

“I'm so sorry. But where are we going?”

“Haha, we're here silly.”

He pulled back and leaf and the scenery was so breathtaking. The huge glistening waterfall. The fresh green leaves. The butterflies and birds flying free. The sounds of birds squawking to one another. The blooming flowers opening and you could smell the sweet scent of each flower. The crescendo of yellow, pink, orange, and purple colors spread out.

Picture from Google! 💗💗

I had my jaw hung wide open but Soarin closed it in the nick of time.

“Do you like it? I found this place a while back. I actually wanted to take you here before we went to Gemporia.” He blushed slightly and placed his hands in his pockets.

“Soarin it's breathtaking!”

“I know. Hey, wanna go down to where the waterfall is?”

“Uh sure but I'm not sure about-”

Soarin pushed me down the hill and I collapsed on the fresh cut grass laughing away. He poked my stomach making me laugh and snort at the same time. Once that stopped, we both walked towards the little stream that was near the waterfall. I placed my hand in the shimmering water and I saw little fishes swimming by. At the corner of my eye, I saw Soarin smirking at me and then he walked around and went into the bushes.

“Soarin? Soarin where are you-?!”

I turned around and saw him running with a vine in his hand.

“WOOOO HOOO!!!” He hollered as he flew into the air and let go of the vine and created a huge splash in the water.

Some water sprinkled on me and I didn't see Soarin. I leaned closer to the water and then I saw bubbles. Suddenly, his two hands firmly grabbed my shirt and pulled me into the water too. Seconds later, I gasped for air and ran on the side and started breathing heavily. I pushed my wet bang to the side and saw Soarin with his hair covering his eyes as he was smiling big at me. I gave him a “I'm going to get you now!” smirk and then kicked him back into the water. I laughed and then plunged myself into the water and we started attacking one another. We gave each other smirks and I could tell that Soarin wasn't having it.

“That….was...uncalled for!!” He started panting while wiping off some water off his head.

“Well, I'm sure we're both using that quote! Besides you had no right to pull me into the water!”

“Oh? Dashie's afraid of a little water?” He smirked as he splashed some more water in my face. I gave him a glare and pointed to the top of the waterfall.
“Oh we'll see about that!”

We both climbed up the rocks and then we stood right above the rushing waves of water as they were rushing down fast.

“Oh this is going to be sweet!!”

“Uhhhh hehehe...ladies first?” Soarin slightly blushed while scratching the back of this neck and then he coughed. I gave him a deadly glare and then smirked.

“Awww is wittle Soarin scared?” I asked in a baby tone. He nudged me softly as we both started laughing.

“No, I'm brave enough.”

He started placing his feet into the water and then he brought it back out. He started chuckling a bit and then he was anticipating whether he was jumping down or not. I looked at him and gave him a cocky smile.

“You need a push?”

“What? Oh no no! When you're brave, you have to know how to impress people with amazing moves. Especially to the ladies.” He smirked and then looked over the waterfall and stepped back. “Ummm then again…”

I laughed and then used my thumb to touch his cheek and then flicked his cheek to the side and with that light push, he fell off the high jump and started screaming so loudly. He eventually hit the water and I jumped right after him. For the rest of the evening, we were just playing around near the water and laughing and smiling.

Later that night….

“Man, I don't think we should've done that water stuff. I'm freezing!” I shivered as I was leaning against a nearby tree. Soarin was drying off his hair and then he was drying off his shirt and pants.

“Heh, I don't see what's the problem honestly. I think it was really fun hanging out today.”

“It was fun but I'm cold…” I shivered even more while squeezing my wet hair in the stream and also drying my clothes. Soarin laid by the tree while I laid beside him. I was shaking a bit while clutching onto him as my teeth were clenching together.

“Awwww is Dashie cold?” He smiled at me and patted my head. I nodded my head in agreement while shivering even more. I cuddled in Soarin's chest as he patted my hair. “Oh there there. You Indians are super sensitive.”

“Shut up! You're one too.”

“Yeah but I mostly got Italian in my blood so hush!”

I shivered a bit more while cuddling closer and closer to him. My cheeks splashed a bright pink as I looked away from him.

“I'm just cold…”

“I got you. It's okay. Soarin's got you.”

The sun was setting and the bright yellowish-orange light beamed throughout the island portraying it's bright colors on the trees. I snuggled against Soarin and Soarin ruffled up my hair and also kissed my forehead.

“You know, I'm glad we did this today. I feel so stress free from Gemporia.”

“Well, I'm glad I could be at your assistance! You're still the Indian princess in my eyes still. Someone's got to treat you like one!”

“Aww stop it! You're going to make me blush!”

“Then I shouldn't stop.”

We laughed the afternoon away and spoke about our lives until the sky turned indigo and the stars came out and shone brightly.

Shivani's P.O.V

“Amorette, thank you for the stars. I'm need a moment of peace and stillness and I need the stars for this. Thank you. Tonight, I really need to clarify one thing….” I thought as my eyes were closed as I felt Amorette’s presence as the wind blew calmly and the stars twinkling into a dance. And also….footsteps?!

“Good evening chief!”

I turned around and saw Sunrise sitting next to me with a little smile on her face.

“Hello my second in command. How's the tribe? And outsiders? Anything suspicious at the border?”

“No. We're clear on the perimeters.”

“Excellent. Just what we-”

“But I wanted to see if you're okay. That's all.”

“I'm fine. Just talking to the stars.”

“Hehe, and did they help?”

“Sort of…I’m just having a moment to just look at the beautiful scenery around me.” I sighed as the wind blew more.

Sunrise let out a long tired sigh as she dipped her feet in the nearby pond. She smiled down and then nudged me.

“I don't think you're the only one checking out the scenery as well.”

She pointed me to where Soarin and Rainbow Dash were cuddling against each other from a distance away.

“Wow nice vision.”

“You've known me for ages. I've been having night vision for a while.”

“Yes yes I know. Well, I'm off to sleep. And we both should.” I got up from the grass and started to stretch.

“What about them?”

“Let them be. Maybe Amorette was just trying to make me leave them be. After all, she is the unforgotten goddess of love.” I patted her head softly. She smacked my hand and groaned.

“I just wanna go home…” She sighed while fiddling with her fingers.

“Yeah….me too…I just wish that everything will go back to how it used to be. Just peace and harmony like the way it was before….”

“Let's go before they spot us!”

“Yeah good thinking!”

We both scurried through the trees as we left Soarin and Dash to themselves. I guess Amorette isn't just making the stars glow. She's making their friendship glow brighter. Probably into something more~
