Twilight, Applejack and Fluttershy

Spike AJ Megan

Rainbow stumbled to her feet as her mind cleared. She didn't know what was going on. But some things didn't fit, and others she rather didn't want to remember to begin with. Whipping away some tears, she knew she had to get back to her mate. Of everything that had gone through her mind, there wasn't any doubt that her feelings were real. But now they were beginning to mix with the emotions of other… hers…

Taking off again, a part of her knew where to go. It was strange. She felt like she had to go to where she saw a war was happening. But she wouldn't go alone. And whatever was drawing her that way was on the move. So for now, she'll stay loyal to her heart and be with her mate. Hopefully that tug will permit her this. And if more come, the two of them will be able to go together and find the truth of what calls her.

"And it was around that time I realized that I had claimed her as my mate before I met her as a dragon… If I understand how this paradoxical world works." Spike finished. As he expected, everyone but the white stallion was blushing at the details he used.

It was evident that he had left out several details involving their… love making. While Megan and the cat seemed less shocked and perhaps more interesting. They wanted to ask for more information, but thought it'd be too embarrassing for the poor dragon.

"Ya didn't need to go into detail." Applejack stammered. After a few moments she sighed as the shock of the matter faded. "What are ya going to do? Y'all still have to find your other friends right? The ones that will help fix everything?"

"How about taking his mate with him." A voice called from the door. Turning they saw the Rainbow mane dragoness at the door. Smirking, pounced onto Spike giving him a loving hug and kiss before turning to Applejack and blinking in shock before positioning herself between them. "You." She growled.

Applejack blinked in shock pushing her sister behind her. "What about me?"

"This!" She snapped holding up a claw. Huffing, she turned away. "I'll be outside-"

"Hold your horses hun." Applejack called. "If y'all who ya look like. Then you know I don't lie."

"So?"

"I have no clue what y'all talking about. Last time I saw a dragon was… when we lost you…" She sighed.

Rainbow blinked as the memory flashed through her mind. "How…. How long ago was it?"

"Last month for me." Applejack replied.

"Hours probably." Spike added.

Rainbow sat and sighed. "I… I was abandoned years ago… Spike found me at the brink of death… if it wasn't for him and Ember… I'd be dead." Taking a deep breath she turned to the white stallion. "I take it things are only going to get worse?"

He nodded and tilted his head back and forth. "I can't really get into much detail. But it's safe to say. That if things keep going down this path and the elements are kept separate. Then there are few outcomes that will be… hopeful."

"And what about after Spike and his friend find us all?" Applejack asked.

"Then you have a small chance to fix everything." He replied before blinking. "Probably should hurry though. I feel another split forming."

"Say what now?" Applejack asked.

"Where? Can we do anything about it?" Spike asked quickly.

"I don't know if YOU should. But it is nearby… Appleloosa." He replied before quickly leaving the room.

Spike looked at the others as Applejack and Rainbow shared a nod and smile. "Let's go. One of our friends might need us."

Pinkie stood and blinked for a moment before slowly turning her head to look around the room. After a few moments her tail twitched and she quickly dove under a table and into a hole as Sombra landed in the spot she was. "HAG!!! YOUR POTION WORE OFF!!!!" He shouted as he scanned the destruction. "And it looks like your seer potion failed to see this coming."

"It's a good thing I don't rely on only one plan. Unlike some ponies I know. Fear not. They will regret refusing us." She laughed. "All you have to do is feed one of those pets of yours a little potion. Even if my calculations are wrong. Those ponies will parish."

Pinkie gulped and backed deeper into the hole before turning to follow her senses and find anyone who might help. She didn't know about what was going on. Only that what she just saw was bad. Very, very bad.

Applejack moaned as she looked over at Twilight as she was focused on whatever spell she was casting. She had no idea about unicorn magic. But from the fact the large beasts seemed calm after… that… several of them had wagging tails. Which told her that whatever Twilight was doing, was putting them in even better moods.

"Y'all think we can get out of here now?" Applejack asked.

Twilight sighed. "Yes Applejack… you should go with these guys… I'll tell them we… I failed."

"Y'all talking about that pink pony?" Applejack asked.

"Pinkie Pie." Twilight sighed with a smile. "She was always one to surprise us… I hoped somehow she'd…" just then her ear twitched at a distant voice. Diving at Applejack she cried happily. "TWITCHY TAIL!!!"

Author's Note

Perhaps one of the few times the twitch is seen as a good thing. Also... something big is coming. Question is. What kind of horror shall be unleashed first? I may do a grim fiction chapter or two.
