Voyage of the Unforgotten!
Chapter 49- Bon Voyage!

Rainbow Dash’s P.O.V

After that whole fiasco last night, we all were completely knocked out! It all ended when we were all panting like dehydrated dogs quenching for something to drink. We are all spread all over the floor, some of us snoring away like crazy. I was snuggling with my pillow after some of my drool is all over it. I was having a dream about Soarin feeding me some chocolate bars. But recently, I’ve been talking out loud in my sleep!

“Oh, hehe are those for me? Oh, you shouldn’t have Soarin! Hehehe, sure! You can put it right in my-”

Before I was having my lovely dream, I opened my eyes and found Pinkie directly on top of me, beating her eyelashes like crazy. I screamed so loudly, that I woke up everyone!

“GAHHHHH!!!!!!”

“Put what in your what?” Pinkie asked as she was super confused. I started breathing heavily as I covered the pillow and stuffed it in my face.

“Foffet Pinkie, he’s suffing foffet in my mouf..”

“What??”

I removed the pillow from my face and groaned in pain. Everyone else started yawning and stretching.

“I said that he’s stuffing chocolate in my mouth. And why are you sitting on top of me?”

“Oh that makes more sense now! Also, do you know that you talk in your sleep? Awkward!!”

As she was still talking, I got up and went to the bathroom and started brushing my teeth. She was still chatting nonstop until Applejack covered her mouth.

“Ah think we had enough of ya chattin’ for a while. You’ve been doin’ it all night last night anyway. Uh, no offense…” She said as she patted Pinkie on the back. Pinkie shrugged her shoulder and skipped into the middle of the room. I placed my hair in a ponytail and wore a nice red and white island dress and placed a red hibiscus flower at the side of my hair. I saw all of my friends getting dressed and they were talking and giggling.

“Good morning darling, did you sleep well?” Rarity asked as she was making a cup of tea. She started humming as Fluttershy was petting Monoko as he was barking. Honestly, I haven’t really thought of Monoko lately and I felt like a really bad owner. I walked over to him and he pounced on me and started licking my face. I started giggling as he was just licking my face like crazy.

“Hahaha hey Monoko. Who’s a good boy?”

Before anything else happened, there was a knock on the door. Sunset walked to the door as she was combing her hair.

“Oh good morning Soarin. How was your sleep?”

I froze in place thinking why Soarin is here so early. I started blushing thinking about last night. I heard his voice and Sunset started laughing and so did he. I peaked from the side of my bed to see a glance of his face. I saw how he was smiling and his adorable baby face.

“My sleep was pretty great, how was yours?”

“Well, me and the girls had a severe pillow fight and we all ended up sleeping on the floor.”

“Oh, I see...well um, is Dash awake? I want to speak to her.”

“Oh yeah sure.”

Before Sunset could’ve said anything, I ran to the door panting like crazy as I was smiling super hard while staring at Soarin. Soarin just gave a tiny chuckle as he pulled me outside and closed the door. We stared at one other smiling like crazy until he hugged me.

“Good morning my love.” He whispered in my ear making me chuckle some more as I kissed the side of his cheek.

“Morning!”

“How was your slumber?”

“Eh, it was pretty okay. And yours?”

“It was okay, but I was mostly thinking about seeing your beautiful face today.”

His sweet comment made me blush deeply as he wrapped his arms around my waist as I squeezed his face cheeks and his face was getting red.

“So, are we going to tell them?”

“No, not yet! I still don’t want them to know. My friends would freak and knowing Pinkie, she’ll probably walk to Mount Kilimanjaro and scream to the whole entire earth about it!”

“Um, Dashie? Kilimanjaro is in Africa…”

I stared at Soarin as he was smiling sheepishly guessing he wanted to see me upset this early in the morning.

“IT’S A METAPHOR YA DORK!!!”

“Shush! Someone might hear you. Besides, I know it was a metaphor. It’s just that you’re super adorable when you’re angry.” He smiled as he kissed my nose making my cheeks turn a bright shade of crimson. I folded my arms my scrunching up my nose as well.

“You are such a flirt…” I groaned as I placed my hand over my forehead as I heard Soarin chuckle softly and purred beside my neck.

“Awww, but you love it when I try to flirt with you.”

“Try?? You’re doing a pretty good job if you’re making me blush like this!”

“Um, can I have a good morning kiss?”

“Oh, that’s a thing now huh?”

“Um...maybe?”

I gave me a playfully glare as he coughed and looked away and his face was red even more now.

“P-Please…?” He sweetly remarked giving me those adorable puppy dogs eyes. I just HATE it when he does that!

I stared into his eyes because I knew he felt the same gravity between me and him pulling us closer and closer to one another. Before I could’ve made any move at all, I have to admit. Soarin is a giant compared to me, and I don’t know how he kissed me last night, but I assumed he just bend over me to do so. I started blushing as I stood on my toes and I was tippy toeing upwards to try and kiss him. My eyes were tightly shut as I was pushing my lips outwards for him to kiss me. I made sudden grunts because I wanted him to kiss me before anyone saw and also because I was about to fall. Soarin started cooing and I was making even more sounds. He placed his hands over my cheeks as he brought my lips against his again. This kiss was a bit more sweeter than yesterday’s kiss. It was soft and graceful. We both parted lips and then I placed my arms around his neck and we kissed again but it was really short because we heard the knob shift as we both separated quickly. Soarin scratched the back of his neck and started smiling sheepishly as I was smiling uncontrollably and leaned against a nearby table. The door opened and we both saw Applejack dusting off her hat and then she looked at us.

“Uhh mornin’ Soarin!”

“M-Morning Applejack. Um, h-how are you?”

“Fine and peachy, thank ya very much for askin’! Just wanted to borrow RD for a few minutes. We’ll see ya at the brunch in a few!”

Applejack saw that I was looking at Soarin with a lovely facial expression and he was too. She stared at me and then at Soarin a couple of times and then she smirked and grabbed my arm and closed the door. She pinned me to the door and started wiggling her eyebrows.

“Ya sure nothin’ ain’t happenin’ between the two of ya?” She smirked at me as her smirk became a tiny smug. I started blushing and I was fumbling on my words a bit.

“W-Well, I, um-”

“Yeah! AJ is right! You’ve been out there for 7 minutes straight! Something’s definitely going on with the both of you!” Pinkie shouted as all of my friends were crowding around me, folding their arms. I gave a huge gulp and shook my head.

“It’s nothing okay? He was just telling me about his night sleep. Haha, that’s all!”

They all stared deep into my entire soul and I could tell they weren’t buying it at all.

“We aren’t buying it!” They exclaimed in unison. I slumped and started sliding down on the door. Fluttershy kneeled in front of me and patted my head.

“We are going to talk about this later but now we have to go to the Queen’s breakfast brunch.”

“Yeah, I am with Flutters! I am starving!!” Pinkie exclaimed as she ran to the door and started pulling the knob extremely hard. I got up from the floor and rolled my eyes playfully.

“Um turn it Pinkie.”

And when she did, she zoomed out the door and ran down the hallway in full speed as she was trying to be first in the dining room. We all bursted out in laughter as we all went down the stairs and saw many people walking around as they were all walking to the dining room. I went back to the room and grabbed my crown and brushed my hair down and ran down the stairs and saw my friends chatting with Queen Amaani.

“Good morning your highness.” I said politely as I bowed in her respects. She bowed softly and smiled as she nodded her head as well.

“And good morning to you Rainbow Dash. How was your night sleep?”

“It was pretty tiring.”

“Oh, how come?”

That's when Sunset and I stared at one another and we were dying of laughter. I placed my hand over her shoulder and we couldn’t stop laughing. People were shooting us glares from the other side of the lobby until the royal horn started to play. Amaani clapped her hands and her smile grew bigger.

“Wonderful! You girls can get seated. Soarin is already inside.”

We did exactly as she told us to do and the room was just super huge! A HUGE crystal chandelier was hanging from the ceiling with the golden drapes covering the tall windows. The chairs were a fine royal silver and I took my seat quickly as the table was settling down. All the goddess, Soarin, my friends, the Queen, and I were all waiting for the room to be silent.

“Ahem, good morning everyone. I hope you all had a wonderful nights rest and I just hope that today things will be better. So now, before we begin preparations, I would love to acknowledge our newly crowned goddess, Rainbow Dash! And also her friends as well becoming Gemporia’s found heroes!”

Everyone in the room started to clap but Shivani was the most excited! Her face was beaming with joy as she couldn’t stop clapping. The clapping died down as everyone started looking at their menus. At the corner of my eye, I saw how Soarin was staring down at his menu. He seemed skeptical about what he was looking at so I decided to take off my red sandals and cast my toes on his leg pushing up the bottom of the pants and started rubbing his leg with my foot. The feeling of his smooth skin on my foot was just endless. I could see his face turn a bright crimson as I stuck my tongue out and this feeling was just indescribable! Before anything else happened, I heard someone clear their throats.

“So Rainbow Dash. What are you going to do after today?” Amorette asked while everyone’s eyes were fully focused on mine. I looked down at my menu and placed it on the table.

“W-Well of course I am going back to India. India is my home and I belong there. I gave a job to do and one day I will become Queen. I need to start working on my responsibilities. But….after India...I will probably go back to America and finish up my studies…”

That’s when the room became silent as stars and I didn’t even want to look up to see everyone’s facial expressions. I knew my friends were hurt about my decision...even my mom. I looked up just at the right time to see Shivani’s face drop, Sunrise a bit gloomy, Amaranthine folded her arms in her seat, Lilia tearing up, and Ocean Wave looking a bit upset. I mean, she has all right to be but still, this is also my decision too.

“L-Look, I know you guys all hate me right now but-”

“Oh Rainbow Dash! We’re not mad at you for making your decision. It’s your life and whatever choices you make, we’ll be here every step of the way, right everyone?” Lilia smiled as everyone nodded their heads and agreed with her statement. The only person who didn’t do anything to respond was Sunrise. She slumped in her seat and looked away in fuming anger. I understand why she was so upset. I was leaving and I knew she was furious. I looked away in shame and then right back at her as she had soft tears in her eyes. She finally cleared her throat and sat back up in her chair.

“So, you’re just leaving us right? Like you always do!”

“Sunrise!” Amaani stepped in and Sunrise slammed her hands on the table almost knocking down most of the drinks. She had tears in her eyes as she was screaming throughout the room.

“Look Rainbow Dash! I want what’s best for you! I hate to see you go on such short notice….look I just want to tell you that you made my life much better and much more adventurous...and heck, if it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t be standing here today….I just wish we had more time to hangout with one another…”

Seeing Sunrise grabbing the tablecloth super hard and biting her lip from restraining her anger made my heart sank. I got up from my chair and gave her a very tight hug.

“Look, we will totally do this again. It’s only a matter of time. Trust me. It won’t be a goodbye, it’ll just be a ya know, a see ya later type of thing.”

She smiled as she ruffled up my hair and began to laugh and so did I. We both hugged one another as she patted my back.

“Hah, you’re right Dash, this is just a goodbye until next time. S-Sorry for getting a bit carried away...that’s not like me.”

“Eh, it’s all good. Besides, if I didn’t have to finish my senior year of high school, I would’ve stayed a bit longer to be honest..but I will always come back to visit! That goes for everyone here!”

Everyone started to smile now as the waitress walked in the room and collected all the menus off the table. She had her hair in a Japanese wrapped bun and she had a small clipboard in her hands. We each told her what we all wanted to eat and she nodded her head in reply and walked back into the kitchen. The room started buzzing with excitement but after a while I saw Lilia smile at me and Soarin.

“So, Rainbow Dash I was wondering, what ever happened between you and Soarin last night because after you two danced, we never saw you two anymore. We thought something bad happened or maybe something good happened...I mean, sorry for being nosey….”

“Oh no no no, you’re not nosey! Me and Soarin just stepped out to get some fresh air and get away from the crowd. Sorry if you thought that we wanted to leave because it was boring or anything.” I replied as I could see Soarin getting a bit nervous about this topic because I could tell that he didn’t want them to know and now come to think of it, I don’t want them to know now either. It’s highly embarrassing if you ask me.

“Oh that totally makes sense. If you guys wanted some alone time, all you had to do was say something. We would’ve totally given you some space!” Amaranthine smiled as she she stirring her cup of tea. She added more sugar in her cup before looking directly at Soarin. Soarin looked away and began to cough and seeing his cough made me pat his back a little bit.

“W-Well, thank you for being too kind but me and Dash were just having a slight friendship conversation.”

“Hmm, are you guys sure because both of your faces are red and there’s obviously something you guys aren’t telling us.” Sunrise smirked as she drank out of her cup and Shivani was just looking back and forth around the room. I started to panic because at this point I had quite enough!

“Honestly guys, can we stop talking about this? Let’s talk about something else!”

“Like how I saw Soarin walking you to your bedroom last night?” Sunrise wiggled her eyebrows while continuing to drink her cup of apple juice. My cheeks were flaming with heat as I almost choked on one of the appetizers which was a strawberry. There were 3 bowls of different types of fruit everywhere. Of course, Pinkie took most of the fruits and was acting sort of uncivilized almost knocking over the bowl of fruits.

“SUNRISE!!!” I exclaimed as I slammed my hands on the table almost knocking down everything. Queen Amaani was just sitting there not saying a word and I know she was feeling embarrassed about my behavior. Sunrise was holding her stomach as she was dying of laughter. Her laughs echoed throughout the room as she kept laughing louder and much louder. Amaani cleared her throat and got up from her chair.

“Miss Sunrise Skies! Apologize at once!”

“For what? Being honest! I just saw him walking to her room laughing away, that’s all, geez…”

The place grew super quiet you barely heard a pindrop. Some of my friends started coughing and of course Pinkie was chewing on one of the baby carrots from the bowl extremely hard making loud crunching sounds. Everyone eventually stared at her as she dropped the tiny piece left on her plate. Soarin looked at me and didn’t say a word and that’s when I placed my head over the table and started groaning because I knew that this little secret that me and Soarin are trying to keep away, will eventually come out….

Transition to next scene….

“Um, maybe hoist it up a LITTLE higher?” Sunset questioned as Applejack was on top of the boat and she was trying to raise the sail.

It was afternoon time and we were getting ready to travel back India. The sky was a shimmering blue and so was the sea. Sunset, Pinkie, and Soarin were all boarding things on this wonderful Hōkūleʻa from my mother. Applejack was tugging onto the rope for the longest while and she realized that it was stuck.

“Uhh the rope’s jammed.” She said but Pinkie smiled and springed into action!

“I got it!!”

Pinkie ran to the rope and cartwheeled to the other side and kicked the rock that was holding down the rope and the rope launched out of AJ’s hand and the sail opened up allowing the wind to blow it.

“Thanks Pinkie.”

“Awww no problem at all!”

Rarity and Fluttershy were helping to pack and organize our packages neatly. Fluttershy asked all the fishes to help clear a nice path so we can hit the water safely, Sunset was carrying mangoes and other fruits to the boat and tieing them up.

“Hey babe, how’s the calculations coming around?”

“Oh, they are going great! The temperature of the water is 16.5 degrees Celsius! Which is perfect for traveling. If we travel any late, the temperature will drop down causing all the wind density and the current in the water to-”

“Hahaha yes darling, I think we understand where you are coming from. Not to bring you down of course. You’re very smart and intelligent but we need to start working our way out of here if you say that right now is the perfect time to sail out.”

Twilight clutched onto her calculator and nodded her head in agreement. We were all getting ready to leave but I was sitting my the edge of the water just watching the ocean waves flowing in their own rhythm. I took a deep breath in and thought about my whole summer and how crazy and adventurous it was. It was also time for me to go back home and spread my accomplishments throughout India. Suddenly, I heard footsteps and once I looked up I saw Soarin smiling down at me and then he sat next to me as he was looking at the ocean as well. The wind was blowing softly enough to blow my hair and his hair too. We both sat there in silence until his bright warm smile appeared again.

“Well, this is it. We came so far together.” Soarin said as he held my hand and kissed it softly. I smiled and took another long deep sigh as I stared back into his eyes.

“I can’t do this…”

“Can’t do what?”

“This whole going back to Canterlot High thing! I mean, I need to finish my last year but it will be so weird now that almost everyone at that school knows that I am the princess of India! They would treat me with respect and everything.”

“Dashie, don’t you want respect?”

“Yes of course I do, but royal respect. Like being nice and always bowing to me! It’s kind of annoying if you ask me…”

Soarin stared at me and started to chuckle softly. I blinked at him a couple of times thinking is he really serious right now? How dare he laugh at me? This is serious!

“And what’s so funny?!”

“Hahaha, oh Dashie. I known you long enough. That is not the only reason why you wish to back out all of a sudden. What’s bothering you? And you can tell me anything, I am your….boyfriend now.” He whispered the last part in my ear and winked at me causing me to look away and slightly chuckle. I leaned my head against his chest as a tear escaped my eye.

“I don’t think I can make a whole year without you…”

The place went quiet and all you heard was the waves rolling and my friends laughing as well. Soarin looked down at me and hugged me tightly. I stared into his eyes and overheard my friends getting ready to go.

“Don’t worry Dashie, we’ll be fine. A year would go by really fast! Trust me, I will be here for you, waiting for your return when you go back. Nothing can separate our love.”

We were about to kiss until we both saw a shadow and we both saw Sunset smirking down at us as Pinkie peaked her head out behind Sunset.

“Sorry to interrupt but I think we are ready to go.”

I saw how the boat was packed with all our supplies. The food, the suitcases and how organized it was. I smiled just thinking about getting my feet back into the water. I walked over to the boat and pulled the long rope as the sail was moving back and forth with the wind. Everyone started to cheer as I looked back and saw all of the Unforgotten Goddess looking back at me with a smile. I ran towards them and hugged them all tightly.

“I couldn’t have done this without you guys..” I sniffed as I wiped my tears. Sunrise ruffled up my hair and started to smirk.

“Hah, good luck kiddo!”

“See ya soon!” Amaranthine waved at me sending me lots of love.

“Bye Rainbow Dash!” Lilia smiled as she was waving alongside with Ocean Wave.

“Do your best!” She shouted. At the corner of my eye, I saw Shivani in the distance, smiling at me while tears were rolling down her cheeks. I ran towards her and gave her a very tight hug. She started to laugh and then she patted my shoulders.

“Good luck Dash. I know you will rock your final school year with flying colors!” She beamed as she clapped her hands. Seeing Shivani smile gave my heart a warm feeling. But her smile left from her face as she was looking away from me.

“Um Dash? Is that your dog…?”

The word “dog” made my head spun around instantly as I saw Monoko hanging from one of the high sails and he missed and he was falling. I gasped and used my geode for my super speed. I reached to him on time but I couldn’t stop going super fast so I eventually hit the ocean with a loud splash. Monoko swam to the land and started to shake off the water from his fur as I climbed out the water, soaking wet.

“Well, looks like we are ready to go! The water is great, the wind is calm, the temperature is perfect! Dash, it seems like we’re ready to hit the road, or the water in this case.” Twilight smiled as she cleaned her glasses a bit and boarded the boat. This was it, I was finally going back to India. My heart started to beat drastically as I was draining the water from my hair and clothes. I boarded the boat and pulled the sail outwards a bit more causing the wind to blow it out of its original position. All of my friends piled onto the boat and I looked back to see everyone waving goodbye to all of us. Before we pulled off, my mom stood right by the boat and jumped right on.

“Mom, what are-”

“I am coming with you. Now that I am free from Tirek’s chambers, I would go back to India and rule as a queen once again. Besides, I have a bone to pick with your father once I see him.”

Soarin and I exchanged looks before my mother said anything else. We finally left the dock by the force of wind from Amorette’s magic and Twilight was right. The water was fine and so was the temperature. I dipped my hand in the water to make sure we were going the right way. The water was a bit warm meaning that we were on track. I looked back and saw the sight of Gemporia once again and how everyone was waving goodbye to us. I looked forward and took a deep breath in and out again and then saw my friends celebrating of our return back to India.

Later that night…

I was sitting down navigating the boat with a wooden rod which was used to travel left or right. I was falling asleep on the rod and started to snore loudly. Eventually the rod was going lower and lower causing me to wake up before dozing off to sleep again. Before anything else could’ve happened, I left someone’s hands over my shoulders, rubbing them back and forth and then a kiss on my forehead. I looked up and saw Soarin smiling down on me. We both looked up and saw the dark night sky and how the glistening water was reflecting the sky with the tiny stars. Soarin was drinking something from a cup and then he looked at me.

“You should take a break. You’ve been doing this all night.”

“No Soarin, it’s fine. I...I can handle this..” I yawned in between and then I fell asleep on the rod once again until Soarin tapped my back. He chuckled then placed his drink next to him and took the rod from my hand and started navigating himself.

“Look, let me do this. Besides, I am drinking ice coffee to keep me awake.”

“Ice coffee?? Where did you get that from?”

“Well, Shivani packed some little cups with ice coffee in them and she put them in that blue cooler over there. I guess she was just preparing us for a long journey.”

“Well, I am going to have a cup of-”

“I don’t think so! You’re going straight to bed, let’s go!” Soarin huffed as he carried me and placed me in the back of the boat where all my friends were sleeping. He placed his jacket over me in order to sleep but I pulled his shirt and he was on top of me blushing.

“Can Dashie get a good night kissy?” I laughed as he chuckled softly. He placed his lips on mine making us both kiss passionately. My fingers were going through Soarin’s hair as Soarin began to softly kiss my neck making my cheeks turn red. I happened to open my eyes at the exact same time where I saw a phoenix blinking its eyes at me and just sat on the top sail coking its head to the side a few times. I gasped and pushed Soarin off of me while blushing madly.

“Mom! Uhh we weren’t doing anything at all! We were just having a friendship thingy...together, haha!” I smiled sheepishly as Soarin was scratching the back of this throat and was sipping some of his ice coffee and he continued to navigate the boat. My mom shook her head and squawked at us and flew to the sky using her bright wings to navigate Soarin the right way. I sat down and snuggled with his jacket and went off to sleep.

A few hours later…

“Hey sweetheart, wake up.”

I opened my eyes slightly as the smell of sea water was in the air. The sun was shining extra bright and the sky was a bright turquoise and there were no clouds in the sky. I sat up, yawning away and also stretching my body out as I was looking to see Applejack and Pinkie pulling ropes of the boat. I looked over on my left and saw that Monoko was still sleeping. I ruffled up his fur and smiled softly before closing my eyes again. But something hit my head making me wake up from my slumber.

“Ow! Hey! What the-”

“Oh sorry Dash! I just wanted to tell you that we are almost there!” Twilight apologized after picking up the little apple that fell on my head and placed it back into the basket. “We’ve made excellent progress thanks to your mother guiding Soarin throughout the night.”

“Wait, Soarin stayed up all night?” I asked marveled at what I was hearing. Twilight nodded her head before reaching for her calculator.

“Yup, he said that the ice coffee kept him fully awake. Also, this is great timing according to my calculations, we seem to be on point. The way the current is going, the way the wind density is calm, I think we are on our way to India closer than we ever….um Dash? Are you even listening to me?”

Even though I nodded my head, I walked over and kissed Soarin on the cheek and hugged him tightly.

“Now you need to rest, you’ve stayed up all night I heard.”

“Yes I did, but it was worth it. While your mom was helping me see better in the dark, she was giving me some advice. She also kind of found out that I am in love with you.” Soarin shyly responded as his cheeks were a bit red. I giggled softly as I placed my hand over his cheeks and kissed his nose.

“Well of course she would’ve found out, you blush every time someone mentions me. Which I got to admit, it’s really cute how you blush so much.”

Before anything else could happen, my mom was searching for something important as I was her mumbling something under her breath. I decided to walk over to her to see what’s going on.

“Good morning mother. Is everything alright?”

“Uh, no, not really sweetie. I am trying to find a way for us to get there faster. I remember when I was younger, I used to carry this small golden-”

“Compass.”

My mom looked into my eyes, stunned by how I completed her sentence. Her mouth formed into a smile as her hand brushed past my hair.

“How did you know about the compass?”

“Well, when me and my friends were voyaging to get daddy’s artifacts from the Changeling Hive, Sunset was digging through some boxes on our boat and then we found it. I knew it was yours because of the Polynesian writings and the letter “P” was on the outside. I kept it with me as a keepsake alongside with the hibiscus you gave me when I was six years old…”

I went into my travel bag and took out the golden compass. I brushed off some of the dust off of it and handed it to my mother. Her face was beaming brightly as she clutched onto it tightly. Tears were streaming down her face when I showed her the orange and pink hibiscus.

“Oh honey, you’ve kept this? After all these years?!”

I nodded my head in reply as my mom took the flower from my hands and placed it in my hair.

“There, now you look just like who you are meant to be.” She smiled making me blush from embarrassment. Suddenly, we heard Pinkie scream!

“Oh my gosh! I see land!! And this huge building looking thingy!” She hollered out as she was pointing to this land which had green patches and she was right about the building. My face lit up as me and Soarin looked at one another.

“That’s the Kapaleeshwarar Temple!” Soarin called out to everyone. Everyone looked pretty confused as to what Soarin just said, but I knew exactly what he meant.

“It’s a temple located in Chennai! Hurry up and sail faster!” I screamed loudly. Applejack was pulling my dress back and then she made me stop.

“Uh, ah think you shouldn't rush anyone at the moment.” She smirked at me as I blushed slightly. I took a deep breath as we were getting closer to the land. I was pretty nervous because I was coming back to see my father and my aunt, and also my grandmother. I hope they won’t feel bad now that I am a goddess of a country that needs to be undercover. I actually felt that my heart was heavy with unanswered questions that I needed answers too. I gave a long sigh but I felt Soarin’s hand over my shoulder as we both stared at one another until he pulled me into a hug.

“Hey, everything is going to be okay.”

Later that evening...

After what took forever, the boat finally came to a full stop right near the dock of the fishing cove. The place was quiet and the wind stopped blowing for a while as we were all taking on the fresh air. The sky was a bright mix of yellow and orange as the evening light was upon us. Everything seemed so different from the last time I was here. Has it been that long? I looked all around and saw that the mango trees were still in its season, some of the coves were empty, and the palace was still the same. I saw my mom step forth as she had her mouth wide open.

“Are you sure we're in the right place….?” She whispered in my ear. I turned to face her and believe it or not, I kind of felt the same way she was feeling. I nodded my head in disbelief as my eye caught something. A light turned on in the palace and I knew that someone was there. My face lit up with excitement since I knew it had to be either my aunt, my grandmother, or my father. I dashed to the palace’s front door as quickly as possible but of course, I guards stopped me instantly.

“Wait, excuse me, I have to see my father immediately!”

“Hault! Who dare enters?!” One of the hollered while pointing their spears at me. I stepped back in fright almost shocked at what just happened. I took a deep breath and explained to them everything that had happened. After that long process, they let my friends and my mother inside the palace. It was very quiet but Pinkie let out a huge sigh and fell on the nearby couch in the living room. Her sigh was so loud it echoed throughout the room which made my father come out from his room. I wasn't ready to see him at the moment but he was storming down the stairs in anger.

“What is all that racket?!”

He froze on the 3rd to last step as he was completely frozen. He was staring at my mom as she was staring back at him as well. My mom smiled but she was pretty scared to walk over to him again. My father had tears in his eyes as he walked towards her slowly. The moment was so magical because I remember when I first came back to India, my aunt showed me the rose that they shared. Speaking of that rose, my mom and my dad held hands and stared into one another's eyes and they were both blushing. That rose’s petals were swirling around my mother and father while my mother's flames from her magic were swirling around them as well. Soarin looked at me as he wore a crooked smile which made me smile back as we hugged from the side. We both just watched how my parents were just smiling and blushing at one another.

“It's good to see you again my sweet little phoenix.” My father said as he brushed my mom's hair out of her face as she blushed even more. She placed her hand over my father's neck.

“It's great to see how you're in good shape my lovely Ro.”

They both hugged tightly with tears in their eyes. I felt really happy for them because my father finally found his happiness and joy! I couldn't stop smiling at them but stopped smiling once I saw their lips pressed against one another. I started blushing from embarrassment seeing my parents kissing like this and it kind of almost made me gag. My face turned green for a few seconds as I burgled out loud in front of everyone. I looked over and saw Twilight glaring at me as Pinkie was giggling at the side. I wiped my face, turning over to the next side of the room trying hard not the be bothered.

“What are you doing here? I-I thought you were dead…”

“WELLL YOUR HIGHNESS!!! It all started when Dashie’s momma here wrote something on the wall in Camp Everfree, telling her to come to India. Thennnn, we all went with her because we love our little Dashie with our whole hearts, and we were having lots of fun, until this guy named Ramon who was actually the thief named Tiran who was a changeling working for Queen Chrysalis and then we went on a voyage to save Dashie’s momma and the citizens of Gemporia! We actually met the goddesses on this island and they helped us come to Gemporia to defeat Tirek! Oh oh! And there was this guy named Demetrius who were the Black Panthers and they stabbed Soarin but then Dash healed him and then RIGHT AFTER, Demetrius died by this boulder and then we met Tirek face to face! To be honest, he’s a REALLLL snob! Suddenly, Dashie sacrificed herself for us and her dear Soarin to give up the sapphire necklace, but since Soarin had a HUGE CRUSH on Dashie, he was able to bring her back because his element is love! But then we all defeated him by the Elements of Harmony, and then we ALL got this super awesome medals because we are super awesome friends and now we are here to say hello and you have created the BEST daughter in the history of daughters!!! Before we go back to Canterlot High and graduate and then we’ll come straight back and so Dashie and Soarin could bond more!” PInkie screamed in my dad’s face saying everything in one breath. It was very very quiet as I smacked my forehead in embarrassment as my cheeks were a bright shade of magenta. My mom giggled softly as she grabbed my father’s hand.

“Yes Pinkie Pie is right, but I didn’t know all of that happened. Maybe if I just talk to Rohan one on one and explain to him further, he will be able to connect the dots. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ll go talk with your father, while you guys get some sleep. We all had a rough journey!”

While my mom pulled my father to the side, I was super curious as to what was going to happen. Will he get back because I left? Get mad at her for lying all these years? I started to ponder on those questions, searching for answers until, Applejack dropped one of my duffel bags against my foot. I turned around to see her and Soarin both delivering our supplies inside from the boat. I was genuinely happy that all of this was over. I looked around to see all of my friends laughing and being back to their old selves. I turned over to the door where my mother and my father went and I surely hope that everything was going okay.

Rohan’s P.O.V

“Look, you have all of the reason to hate me right now…”

I stared into her bright rosey eyes as she looked up at me with disappointment in her eyes. I could see that she was still upset of the fact that she opposingly lied to me.

“Phrya honey, how could I be mad at you? You are standing right in front of me, when I thought all hope was lost, you somehow managed to come through.”

“That’s the point Rohan! I didn’t “somehow managed to come through” at all. If you remember clearly, I did sent you a message in your sleep. Do you remember that vision I gave to you?”

“Y-You gave a vision…? I don’t remember anything from you but-”

“Oh, I figured Tirek had to do something about that. Either way, I was trying to send you a signal to send our daughter to come find me. This voyage was a guide to help her discover who she was, but from her experiences, I heard that you didn’t allow her to go out and there were certain difficulties in the process.” She smirked at me while folding her hands. I remembered the times where I would never let my Dashie out of my sight. I sighed as I looked at the ground as she lifted my head up and stared into my eyes.

“I completely understand that you wanted to keep her safe because of me.”

“Phyra, what I don’t seem to understand, how come you decided to come out now? What happened before?”

“Remember when your father and his men killed my father..? Because he was finding about Tirek himself. He had a vision, and somehow I remember Tirek telling me who I loved and I thought of you, but instead I thought of my sister and he killed her because he knew that I really loved you the most. Even if I thought of you, I knew Tirek would’ve taken your life the same day he taken my father’s. And I couldn’t do that, because I loved you more than anyone else did. And I just wish I could’ve told you sooner. I wasn’t dead Rohan. Tirek made this creature to come and find me and to take me into captive to be his slave. And ever since I became an Unforgotten goddess, I became an immortal which that means I can’t die. I couldn’t see you until Rainbow Dash came to defeat Tirek himself and that’s what she did! Don’t you see Rohan? Our daughter was made to become a warrior just like her Polynesian ancestors! In fact, she’s better than me at fighting. You should be extremely proud of how far our daughter came along. I remember her fighting for her life in the incubator….we thought she was going to die….but look at her now. Rohan, we are blessed to be having our only child doing such wonders. You should be happy, we both need to be happy….”

Tear droplets were falling down my face rapidly as I was bracing myself from crying too hard. She was right about everything. Maybe if I wasn’t so scared and overprotective maybe I would’ve been able to see my child grow in many ways possible. She was crying as well, wiping her tears in the process, and then she shook her head.

“Ahem, my apologizes. I got carried away…”

“No sweetheart, it’s fine. I am so sorry. I didn’t know about the Tirek stuff, and if I knew, I would’ve totally let Dash-”

“Hey, listen to me ya big lug. You are an amazing father. You did what’s right. You followed your mind, but you didn’t follow your heart, and that’s okay because we all make mistakes. Things happen. But Tirek is gone forever now and we are safe. Now, I am going to stay here with you and reign this kingdom under our commands. Understood?”

“Yes ma’am. And I missed your sassiness.”

“Are you sure about that? I mean, Dashie took all of my sassiness. I am surprised that she wasn’t sassy to you at all.”

We both started laughing nonstop and I had a really good feeling. It was the same feeling I had when I met her for the very first time. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door and we also heard mumbling as well.

“Ugh Rohan, it’s pretty late to be talking to……..y-yourself..”

My sister Firefly was standing by the door in shock, staring at Phyra. She didn’t know what to do but just stand there without a sound.

“Um Firefly? We were just-”

But before I could’ve finished, she just ran to Phyra and hugged her extremely tightly.

“Oh, good heavens!” Phyra shrieked.

“Phyra?! What are you doing here?! We thought you were dead!!”

“Well, apparently, I wasn’t. It’s a pretty long story but I am here to stay now. There’s no more harm.”

“Oh, thank goodness,” Firefly sighed in relief. “I am happy to see you again. Rohan was extremely a pain in my ass when you were gone.”

I gave my sister a sharp glare as Phyra started giggling softly. Firefly shrugged her shoulders and smiled sheepishly.

“Hah, what? I am being honest.” She said as she walked to the door but before she left, she stopped. “He was also a big crybaby!”

“OUT!!” I hollered at her as she ran out the door leaving Phyra dying of laughter. My face was burning up with anger but Phyra’s hands rubbing against my chest made me calm down easier.

“Oh Ro, don’t be so tense. She was just joking with you. You get so angry easily.”

“I know, and I am so very sorry. It’s just that-”

“Hey, why don’t we go and get some coffee and relax a bit, hmm? I am sure that will ease your nerves,” She smiled at me as she was heading to the door. My heart felt whole once again and I felt that my whole life was perfect in this one moment. She turned around and looked at me as I was staring at her with a loving smile.

“What is it?”

“Just staring at you face to face had brought me so much joy into my life once again.”

She smiled as her face was a tint of pink and I followed behind her as we exited the room and headed to the kitchen to get some coffee.

Rainbow Dash’s P.O.V

I walked back to my old room and dropped all the bags that were mine onto the ground. I ran to my bed and jumped on it peacefully as I was rolling all over it sniffing the sweet bed smell. I took out the scrunchie that was in my hair, and threw it across the room and let my hair go wild as I continued to to roll all over the bed laughing nonstop. With my loud laughter and sniffles, I happened to attract someone who was seeing me doing all of this without saying a word.

“Wow, I never see you this energetic in my entire life.”

I shrieked and jumped up in fright as Soarin was standing by the door laughing away. I covered myself with the blanket, whimpering and being extremely flustered. Soarin started cooing as he dropped his bags as well, and sat on the bed too. He was nudging my feet playfully causing me to giggle under the covers but I was trying hard not to be too obvious.

“Oh Dashie, come on, I was just kidding. I didn’t mean to scare you. Please Dash, I am sorry.”

I didn’t bother answer because I didn’t want Soarin to see me a flushing mess at the moment. My hair was also a huge mess as well so basically I didn’t want to see me at all. Soarin didn’t say anything either after that, so right now it was pure silence. He started whistling a sweet tune, and then I could feel his presence over me, not because of his shadow but because my heart was beating drastically.

“Hey, if it makes you come out of that little blanket hut ya made there, I wanted to tell you that this Summer has been the best! Seeing you again really made my life turn around in so many ways possible. Dash, you’re a really awesome girlfriend, and don’t let nobody change who you are as a person, and if they do, they are just jealous of you. And I can see why they would be jealous, I mean you’re beautiful, smart, caring, loyal, and such a huge pleasure to be around. You’re really awesome. Love ya Dash.”

Soarin patted my back softly as he laid back on the bed getting comfortable. I peaked a little as I only saw his face a bit and stared at it for quite a while. My cheeks were a light rose as I pulled off the covers over me and like I said my hair was a complete mess. When he saw me, we both were dying of laughter.

“Oh, are you trying to rock a new hairstyle? I am totally loving it by the way.”

“Ba ba ba ba ba, I’m lovin’ it!” I winked at Soarin while wiggling my eyebrows and singing the jingle as well. Soarin’s smile faded to an extremely annoyed look and I had to admit, I started busting out laughing and then his look grew more into a very angry mood so he just threw this huge fluffy pillow in my face making me fall on the floor. When he heard the huge THUD, he started dying of laughter as well. I blew some of the feathers that were in my hair, then gave a devious smirk at him and grabbed the same pillow then I climbed on the bed and started plummeting him with the pillow. We were both laughing extremely hard as I kept hitting him hard with the pillow but after a while, he ended up grabbing the pillow and started hitting me with it. This was going on for a few minutes until we both started panting away on the bed.

“Man, that was exhilarating!” He exclaimed as he was stroking the sides of my hair a bit. I for one was knocked out cold as my body was splurged all over the bed as snoring could be heard. Soarin then kissed my forehead and placed the blanket over me. He turned off all the lights and snuggled against me as I felt his hot steamy body pressed against mine. A smile crept upon my face as his hands were wrapped around my waistline and I could tell that this was the beginning of our majestic relationship~
