Equestrian Magic: Uprising

The next morning, the group all met up at the docks. It was currently 8:45 AM and the group were literally bouncing off the walls.... All except Ginger, who was having second thoughts about the trip. Since arriving on the docks, his stomach felt like it was doing backflips as his head pounded. He tried to shake it off as nerves, but it only made his headache worse. He looked up at his mother, who had her eyes closed and was leaning into Frost.

"Dude, we're all here. Let's go already!" Lightning groaned in annoyance.

"Okay... All aboard...." Ginger gulped. Everyone walked onto the boat any Ginger was the last one to climb aboard. The anchor was released from the sea floor and the boat began to move. As the vehicle rode across the sea, Ginger could feel the floor moving below his feet. As best he could, he tried to stifle a moan and immediately regretted it as bile rose up his throat. A second later, Ginger stuck his head over the side of the boat and became sick to his stomach. After dry-heaving for the second time, Ginger allowed himself to sink to the floor, leaning his head against the cool fibreglass of the boat.

"Looks like you could do with a bit of company." A voice spoke from beside him. Ginger slowly moved his head to watch Star sit down beside him. "You okay, Ginger, you look a bit pale."

"I'm fine. A little seasick is all." Ginger assured his girlfriend. "I might go below deck for a bit and get some shut-eye." He slowly rose to his feet and unsteadily made his way below deck. He stumbled across the deck as he made his way towards the doors leading downstairs.

"You sure? Going below deck if you're seasick isn't such a good idea." Star said as she joined her boyfriend's side. "Come on. I'll get the tablets from your suitcase while you sit on the deckchairs beside the pool."

Ginger slowly nodded and turned to walk away when a familiar wave of nausea made itself known. Without a second thought, Ginger raced back to the side of the boat and became sick to his stomach once more. He quietly headed towards the pool area and took a seat on one of the deckchairs. He removed his baseball cap from his head and placed it over his face as he slowly drifted off to sleep.

Star returned to the top deckand headed over to the poolside, where she saw Ginger lying on a deckchair with his baseball cap over his head. She gently shook his shoulder and he stirred, slowly opening his eyes and removing the baseball cap from his face. "Here. I got you the tablets and a nice glass of water." She said and handed the objects to her boyfriend, who took them without hesitation and swallowed the tablets.

"Thanks, Star." Ginger smiled weakly at his girlfriend. Star smiled back and kissed him on the cheek.

"Your welcome, Ging."

Across the deck, Ice was staring at Sonic, daring him to leap into the pool. "Scaredy cat!"

"Am not!" Sonic returned and he shoved Ice over, as the younger boy fell into the pool. He emerged and snarled at his friend. Hahaha-WOAH!!" Sonic yelped as Ice grabbed his ankle and dragged him into the pool. "Dude, not cool."

Cheesecake and Cream swam over to them. "Anyone for a game of truth or dare?" Cream asked.

"Count me in!" Ice smirked as he turned to Sonic.

Sonic sighed and dipped his head. "I guess..."

Aquamarine and Leaf walked over. "Someone say truth or dare?" Aqua asked.

"Count us in!" Leaf added.

Ice smiled as he turned his attention to Aries and Canis, with the latter wearing a pair of goggles on his head. "You guys wanna join?"

Canis looked up from his work. "Sorry, Ice. I gotta do some research Incase we come across Equestrian Magic. Aries will partake in your game though."

Aries sharply looked up at his best friend, a shocked look on his face. "Me?! Wha-?"

"Just go on, Aries. I've got work to do." Canis etched him on, returning his attention to the notebook in his hands. That was, until a pair of hands pulled the book and goggles away from him.

"Remember what I said last night, Canis Major." Timber warned. "Socialize with your friends."

Canis huffed and turned away from his friends, looking up at his father. "Fine, Dad, can I at least keep hold of my notebook?"

"Nope. I'm keeping it in mine and Twilight's room." Timber replied. "You'll get it back at dinner."

Canis huffed and sunk further into his seat. "Fine...." He grumbled.

"That's my boy." Timber smiled. "Me and the other parents will be down below deck in the theatre room."

"Okay, Dad/Timber!" Canis and the others smiled back at Timber, who briefly patted Canis's shoulder before leaving.

I hate this...." Canis huffed as he crossed his arms.

"Deal with it." Cheesecake sneered. "Sacrifice one thing for something else."

"Shut it, Cheesecake." Canis growled at the taller teen.

Cheesecake turned away as Ice stood up. "I'm gonna get the spinner." Ice smiled as he walked off.
