Flurry Heart's Return to Equus

When the star drive kicked in, everyone was pulled backwards in their seats. About three hours later, the star drive disengaged the warp and the Alicorn was brought to a halt. The large amount of inertia caused the systems to temporarily shut off, but they came back on after a minute. When the ship dropped out of warp, everyone was thrown forward in their seats.

"Did that not just feel weird?", asked Smolder dizzily.

"That felt weird.", said Mickey.

“Millie and I have double-vision from that large amount of g-force.”, said Melody.

“All systems are back online, and we made it. That’s the good news. The bad news is, we overshot our arrival target outside the nebula by two-million miles. We’re actually INSIDE the nebula. As a matter of fact, we are almost to the asteroid.”, said Toodles.

“Monitors are coming back on.”, said Minnie as the screens lit back up.

Everyone was shocked by how many more asteroids were in the nebula, but they knew which one they had to reach. They started flying more slowly toward the asteroid until they reached it. This particular asteroid was close to the size of a small moon. Searching carefully, Daisy scanned the surface for the entrance to the cave where Flurry's ship had entered twelve years ago. The search did not take long, because Daisy’s scanner quickly picked up the radio antenna that Flurry had placed at the edge of the cave.

"There's the cave. I've got the antenna on radar.", she said.

“I volunteer to perform a spacewalk to tell Flurry that we’re here.”, said Minnie.

"Then it's time to shine.", said Sandbar.

Minnie put her helmet back on and entered an airlock designed for E V A. After strapping on an MMU, she opened the hatch and exited the ship. As she reached the cave, Flurry came up on her own jetpack. She had picked up the Alicorn on her ship's computer.

"It's good to see that you guys made it out here. I can't wait to come home. Flurry said as she gave Minnie a hug."

"Minnie Mouse to Alicorn; Flurry Heart emerged from the cave as I was coming in. She had picked us up on her scanner. Let's get her ship out of here."

"Copy that, Minnie. I am deploying the grappling legs in order to latch onto the asteroid.", replied Yona.

Four arms extended off of the underside of the ship around the cargo bay doors. The threaded tips were diamond dusted and began screwing into the hard rock. Once the Alicorn was secure, the bay doors were opened and Mickey, Millie, and Melody joined Minnie outside with tow-cables. They were ready to extract Flurry's starship for its journey home.
