When Worlds Collide

The fast flyer and rapid runner continued to race towards Cloudsdale. While they were a few miles from the bottom of Cloudsdale Photon stopped suddenly. “YO! Photon! WHAT’S HOLDING YA?!” Rainbowdash asked.

“I heard something.” Photon twitched his ear slightly, and listened to the sound more clearly. “Wow what is that sound?” He asked. Rainbowdash listened also.

“I think that’s singing. Sounds like Fluttershy.” She said.

“Another friend of yours?” Photon asked.

“Yeah, but how bout our race?” Rainbowdash asked to see if tthey were still racing.

“Actually how bout we check out the area over there, I feel some energy coming from over there.” Photon requested.

“Are you secretly a unicorn, or what? You’ve been sensing those Crystal Star things all day! Are sure there’s something over there?” Rainbowdash asked.

“It’s a technique I use, c’mon.” Then Photon ran towards the sound/energy field.

A few seconds later, Rainbowdash and Photon made it to a hill that was on the outskirts of a cottage. “Let me go first.” Rainbowdash said.

       “Indeed, ladies first.” Photon motioned her to go ahead.

Rainbowdash flew ahead and landed in a garden. “Hey Fluttershy!”

“O-oh- Hello Rainbowdash. How-how are you?” The yellow and pink Pegasus greeted.

“Hey Fluttershy, I want you to meet someone.” Rainbowdash motioned Photon to approach. He for some reason looked nervous himself. He slowly walked over to the two pegusi. Fluttershy looked nervous also, but that was Fluttershy being herself. “Fluttershy this is Photon, he’s a new pony from um….. somewhere.” Rainbowdash said. Fluttershy walked forward slowly towards Photon.

“Um..um..eh…Hi.” She said stuttering.

“Um…well.uh…Hey yourself.” He replied, trying to be a little cheerful.

“What are you doing? You were all confident and stuff a minute ago.” Rainbowdash said.

“S-sorry I.. it’s just.” Photon was about to reply when a rabbit came out of nowhere.

“Oh…. Angel what is it?” Fluttershy asked her pet. Angel pulled on her mane and motioned to follow him. “Oh okay let’s go.” Fluttershy and the others were led around to a dirt patch. “What is it?” She asked again. Angel dug some more and brought out something. “Wow it’s so pretty.”

“Hey look Photon! It’s another crystal!” Rainbowdash yelled.

‘Wow three in one day.’”That’s cool. But it’s weird it shouldn’t be so easy.” Right when Photon said that a wolf jumped out.

“EEEEKK!” Fluttershy said flying to the top of her cottage with Angel on her back.

“HEY! Not cool!” Photon yelled. He got into a pouncing pose and dashed into the wolf knocking it into the fence behind. The wolf got back up and out came two more wolves. “Crud, not again.” Photon jumped in to the air and homed in on the front wolf and dashed at it then to the one at the right.

“You make this look easy Photon.” Rainbowdash complemented. The she heard a thud. She looked behind her and saw a wolf climbing on top of the cottage after Fluttershy.

“AAAHHHH HELP!” She yelled. Rainbowdash flew towards the wolf and headed butted it off. Rainbowdash flew to where Fluttershy was but saw her still being attacked by wolves. This one was reaching for Angel though. “ANGEL NO!” Rainbowdash came back and knocked it off like the first.

“Yeah! Take that!” Rainbowdash yelled out to the wolves she defeated. “But she celebrated to early.

“SOMEONE HELP!” Fluttershy was now flying but being chased by a raven and a black hawk. Rainbowdash flew and blasted through the two black birds and held them by their necks. Fluttershy on the other hoof, was unaware of this and kept flying. She looked back and saw them gone but didn’t stop. When she turned her head around again, he face planted into a tree and fell.

“OH NO FLUTTERSHY!” Rainbowdash yelled. She flew out to her falling friend but was cut short by more birds that flew her way. “Aww not again.” She was stuck fighting the birds off. Fluttershy was now only a few inches away from hitting the ground face first when something caught her. Rainbowdash scared off the rest of the black birds and wolves. She turned around and saw Fluttershy in the arms of… Photon. “Whew… she’s okay.”

Fluttershy woke up and saw Photon’s face. She gasped and jumped out of his fore legs. “Oh um.. thankyou so much for saving me.” She thanked him.

“Um heh.. no problem.” He said. They continued to stare at each other until Rainbowdash broke the silence..

“OKAY OKAY! We saved the day now what?” She asked.

“Where’s Angel?” Fluttershy asked. They looked up and saw him hanging by a twig. “Oww, my head hurts.” She said. She tried flying up to get him but was held up by the pain from her face plant.

“No prob Fluttershy, I’ll get him.” Rainbowdash flew up and got him. “Here ya go.” She handed Angel over to Fluttershy.

“Thank you Rainbowdash, thank you Photon. I never thought wolves would attack me. They’re usually so nice.” Fluttershy explained.

“Well not those. Their from my world.” Photon said.

“You know them?” Rainbowdash asked.

“They’re ruffians. But why are they here.(GASP)” Then Photon realized something.  “They probably came here for the Crystal Angel had. That probably means they… they’re gonna go after Rarity and Applejack!” He warned. Rainbowdash and Fluttershy also gasped.

“C’mon!! Let’s head to Sweet Apple acres!!” The three then ran/flew to the large group of apple trees. Hoping to find their friends and the Crystal Stars still in one piece.
