Fire, Ice, And A Rainbow

Fire, Ice, And A Rainbow

An End To An Intro

"Hi there Rainbow Dash! What are you doing here? And who's the colt you're cuddling with? Wake up Rainbow Dash! It's me, Derpy! Hello?"

'Why is it that lately I'm always being woken up by someone yelling?' I thought.

I could feel Dash begin to stir next to me as well. Oh well. I slowly begin to open my eyes and take notice of a blonde maned pegasus mare hovering above me. As my eyes focus, her features became clearer. Then, she suddenly stuck her face right up to mine, and that's when I noticed the one thing about her that completely shocked me awake.

"Holy Celestia!" I shouted. "What's up with your-"

Before I get the last word out, Rainbow put a hoof over my mouth, leaving the blonde pegasus confused as to what I was gonna say.

"Jeez, Derpy, don't you know its rude to go sticking you face into the face of sleeping ponies?" RD asked, still fighting with me as I try and get her to stop covering my mouth.

"Sorry Rainbow. I didn't mean to scare anypony. I just came over to clean up Zecora's hut like I promised to. So I started and then I saw you two in the bed.

I had finally gotten Dash to let me go when I sat up and looked around the hut. It looked like a tornado had ran though it while we slept.

"I don't know what you definition of 'cleaning' is, but I bet if you looked it up, this would be the opposite of its meaning," I said.

'How in all of Equestria did RD and I manage to sleep through all of this carnage?' I wondered.

"I just don't know what went wrong," said the googly-eyed pony.

"Yeah," Rainbow started, "it's a mystery. Well, thanks for waking us up, but we need to get going. We're looking for Pyrefly here's little sister."

"What does she look like?" Derpy asked.

"She has a baby blue coat. Spiky mane and tail. And she's a unicorn who likes to freeze things." I said, looking over at Rainbow as I said the last part.

"Well, I did see a weird path of ice not to far behind here. I also saw a random chunks of ice along the path." Derpy said. "Does that help?"

Dash gave me a quick nod toward the door.

"More than you know. Thanks Derpy, and try and not do anymore damage than you have already done." I said as I moved to the door of the hut. Then a thought popped into my mind. "Oh, and one more thing. I need you to find Twilight on your way back into town and tell her that Pyrefly and Dash are safe. Tell her we spent the night at Zecora's and that we know where my sister is. Then tell her to get the others and wait at Fluttershy's. Just leave out the part about Zecora not being home, alright? She should be somewhere near the entrance to the forest."

And with that, we were out the door and flying around to the back of the hut. As we came around back, we quickly saw the ice path that Derpy mentioned.

"I know only one pony that could have done this." I said, looking over the path.

"Ice," Rainbow responded, a look of mixed emotions was written all over her face.

"I know you're still steamed about what she did to you, but she's my sister, so I'll deal with with her once we know she's safe, ok?"

"I'm over the whole being turned into an ice cube thing."

"Then what's up?"

" just hope she can get over what's happening and forgives you."

"I hope so too."

With that, we flew off, following the frozen path, unsure of what we'll find at the end of it.

For about a half hour we flew along the path of ice, when finally, we came across a dome made of more ice. It had holes in the front and the top. The faint glow of a campfire shown throw the dome. A small, dark shadow could be seen sitting inside. We landed out side of the hole in the front. I raised a hoof and knocked on the dome.

"Ice Dancer, it's me." I said calmly. "It's time to come home now."

The shadow shifted along the wall.

"Who's that with you?" Ice asked, fear clearly in her voice.

"It's me kiddo, Rainbow Dash."

The shadow got up and moved toward the hole that me and Dash was standing around. Then out crawled Ice Dancer. She looked terrible. Her mane was matted and mud covered her coat. Traces of dried tears covered her face.

"You came after me?" She asked in disbelief. "Even you, Rainbow? Even after what I did to you?"

"Of course we did," I said. "And not just us. Twilight and the others came out with us yesterday to help find you."

"You had us all worried sick." Added RD.

"But brother, I yelled at you and said all that stuff. And Rainbow, I turned you into an ice sculpture. Why would you come looking for me?"

"Because you're my sister, and I promised you I'd never, ever abandon you again. If I had just left you to stew out here, then I would be breaking that promise." I answered.

"And I'm here to forgive you. I can't say I know how you feel, but I will make you a promise. I promise that your brother will never abandon you. No matter what. And even if me and Pyrefly break up, I will keep this promise, because that's what loyal friends do. Ok?" Rainbow said, a warm smile on her face.

Suddenly, Ice started crying, tears streaming down her face. "I'm so sorry for everything!" She burst out.

"It's alright sis," I said, going up to my weeping sister and wrapping a foreleg around her and hugging her tightly. She looked up at me, smiling. Then she looked over at Dash and waved for her to join the embrace. Rainbow walked up and joined the hug, like she was part of the family. After a few minutes, we separated, smiles plastered on our faces.

"Let's go home," I said, first looking down at Ice, then to RD. "The other's are hopefully waiting for us."

'Unless Derpy messed up my message.' I thought to myself, mentally laughing about what I just thought about.

And so, together, Ice Dancer, Rainbow Dash and myself, headed back to Ponyville, to our new friends, and most importantly, we headed home.
