As Somber was doodling in the sand inside his leaf fort, another rumble could be heard. This one was a lot louder though. He held his ears, trying to get all the bad thoughts away from his mind.

 

"Are you sure that they are attempting to escape?"

 

"Of course. Why else would they be  building a raft?"

 

The rumble startles him.

 

"This damn volcano... Wait. Volcano? That gives me an idea... Spruce, gather a few villagers. It's time Somber went into Slumber... Hehehehehehehe...."

[Sunbro 4 Lyfe 939]

"thanks. i was trying to forget that and now you brought back memories of me nearly bringing my life to an end." He chuckeld crudley, but remained himself. "so it looks like yoyr reinforcing it? well magic is a good option, but it will deplet fast. I could make some rop out of fibres, but that'll knock us back an hour. mabye two if you want better strength.

After Stacy had gotten the suitcase to the raft she went back to the life boats to look for more stuff. She found a few pieces of paper he hadnt noticed before. *Hmm, maybe i can write to hop again. Not that i would send it but...* she quickly gathered the few pieces she could find that wernt damp or ripped, and also a pencil and small piece of wood to write on. When she got back she sat by herself again and began to write...

 

Dear Hop,

Youre probably never going to get this but i have to calm my nerves. Alot has happened in three, four days and its best that i...well, im not sure. One things for sure im not coming back to ponyville for reasons. There are things i dont want to deal with anymore and there are ponies i dont want to see. A few of which are around me now building a raft. Its not that i dont like them, but...im going to be worse than i was after the camping trip. I can feel it. Theres, one mare...who i care for a lot. I think it would be better for her if i just kept my distance as much as i can. If you see her. If you even get this, i want you to give this to her. So she can understand why i left. I might write one of these to her...probably not. Anyways its the "Crazy flower girl", but her real name is Rose. Im going to go help finish the raft. I'll see ya around.

-Stacy

 

She put down the pencil an looked over the letter, letting out a sad sigh. She stuffed the letter into her saddlebag and got up to go help.

[Descant 1,898]

Rose had been harvesting more hardy logs and sap to reinforce the makeshift raft for several minutes. She got up, wiping off the sweat from her hard work, and looked around. She saw Stacy writing something, and decided to give her some space. Somber seemed to be equally discouraging company, hiding in a small leaf fort. She smiled, remembering similar forts she had made as a filly, in Manehattan's Central Park.

 

She ended up bringing her supplies to Firecracker and Spark, who were discussing how to reinforce it. "The sap is waterproof and sticky, you can use it like glue," she told them, handing them the jar of the amber sap. She also dropped the small mound of smooth, hardy logs in front of her, offering them up.

[Undyne 1,483]

"NOW!"

 

Two of the zebras had jumped out of the bushes, grabbing Somber. His fort was crushed to, well, leaves. One of them had decided to leave a ransom note in the sand.

 

SOMBER IS NOW IN SLUMBER

 

The duo now with the captured Somber ran farther and farther off into the jungle, to what looked like the base of the volcano. Surprisingly, no one of his friends seemed to see him get abducted...

[Sunbro 4 Lyfe 939]

Bright Spark looked at the amber "hmm. this could be used this could be used as an adhesive." He also saw the logs. "i could also make two pairs of ores with two of those." he was about to continue, untill he rememberd something. "hey rose. you wouldnt mind having a little talk at some point? to make up for when i kinda ignored you up on that cliff?

[Miss Light Diamond 2,803]

Star was in the jungle, about to go back to the beach with a big pile of bamboo when she saw several zebras carrying something... Or Somepony towards the volcano. She followed them, Trying to stay as quiet as possible. *Bucking zebras.* She thought.

 

(OOC: She still doesn't know that the zebras have Somber... Just so you know.)

[Descant 1,898]

Rose nodded slowly. "I wouldn't mind, no." She wasn't concerned about what had happened on the cliff before. She'd give him another chance. "Just let me know when you want to talk. But... In the meantime... Is there anything else I can get for the raft?" Rose really did seem eager to get off the island, and back to her garden.

 

 

(OOC: We're leaving now. @ has permission to control Rose while I'm gone, because I'm going to be unable to do so myself from my phone. Christmas shopping, fun, fun. But try and save the exciting stuff for when I'm back, pwease?  )

The two zebras were walking at a brisk pace,  while Somber was stuffed in a burlap sack, motionless.

 

"What are we going to do with this once we reach the volcano?"

 

"Simple, Spruce. We just dump it. Can't be any easier than that. This has shown to be helpless to us, so why must we help it?"

 

"Well, you do have a point, Dew... I still think it's a bad idea."

 

"Whatever, Spruce. Look, you keep helping, and I'll put in a good word. Hey, maybe the chief can move you into a better hut. You know, one that does not run rampant with insects?"

 

"Ooh... That would sound nice."

[Marathon 562]

Stacy had gathered more wood and set it in the pile next to rose, barely giving her a glance. She decided she would write a note to Rose, but...she didnt know what to write. She pushed away the thought for a while as she brought a few more stacks of wood, then sat down on her own to rest her hoof. Finding this to be another great time to write she got out the paper and pencil and began...

[Windy Scamper 403]

Scamps saw the volcano rumble again, and looked at Airy. "We...we don't have much time, do we? I don't have time to make up for everything I've done to you, for taking away a chance for you to fly again..." Scamps looked at the ground woefully. 'I wouldn't be surprised if he never wanted to talk to me again.'

 

Scamps ran over to Rose and the others and began to help with the raft. She looled back at Airy, hoing he still liked her.

[Naturematthe 51]

What had happened to him? He still felt dizzy and tired, even though he had drunk the mixture Greenleaves had given him... and now he had no idea what was going on.

He heard Scamps saying something, but he hardly understood it because there were so many things around him. He tried to focus on Scamps' voice.

 

"Scamps, what are you saying there?", he asked surprisedly, but Scamps already was going away.

"Scamps! Wait! I..."

[Windy Scamper 403]

Scamps heard Airy calling her as she worked on the raft. She looked down. 'This is it. The end of our relationship. He'll never forgive me for taking that opprotunity away.'

 

Scamps figured she had to face him, no matter what would happen. "Wha...what is it Airy?" She asked, trying to smile.

[Undyne 1,483]

The two zebras had made it to the base of the volcano, seeing a slope that climbed up.

 

"Perfect... Spruce, stand guard here. Make sure that no one here goes up that slope. The worst we need right now is for one of those ponies to have followed us."

 

Spruce nodded as he watched Dew start his ascending with Somber. He looked out to the forest.

[Naturematthe 51]

Airy was very happy when he saw Scamps come back to him. He was lying on the ground as comfortable as he could and looked directly into Scamps' eyes. Even though he had thought about it for quite a while, he had trouble expressing what he wanted to say to her.

 

"Scamps... I... I am so sorry that you hardly had anything of me here. After the ship was sinking and you saved my life, I just was so exhausted that I couldn't keep myself awake. But even though I hardly did more than standing in your way, you never let me down, you even carried me now that I can't even walk any more... Scamps, ever since I met you I got so much of my old self back. You made me forget about what had happened to me, you always were there for me if I needed anything... You don't have anything to apologise for."

 

He made a short break.

 

"Scamps... I haven't realised before how much I really love you. With you being around I don't even need my wings back... because I have you. I think I want you to be at my side. And... and as we're still too young for getting married, would you reject it if I asked you about a betrothal?"

[Windy Scamper 403]

Scamps nearly cried out of pure joy as Airy proposed. "I...I thought I had lost you....I thought...I...." Scamps didn't know what to say. There was only word she could say.

 

"Yes...I mean, no, I wouldn't reject...I mean....yes. I want you to be my husband."

 

'Wow, I screwed that up,' Scampa thought.

 

She looked up a tthe rumbling volcano. "I'm glad I get to spend these lat fe moments without my coltfriend, but instead, with my fiance." She said a she smiled. She kissed him passionately, then.

 

Usually, Airy's kisses helped her forget. But this one made her remember. She remembered how her parents tried to set her up with the best flyers in Cloudsdale in hopes to make her great. She thought about what they would say about her getting married to Airy, who couldn't fly. It almost made her smile as she kissed him, how much she differed from her parents.

 

But Scamps didn't care anymore. She didn't care how much her parents had wanted her to be perfect. She didn't even care if she died from the eruption. She was in the loving hooves of her fiance, now, a moment she had been longing for ever since her parents forced it on her. But this moment wasn't forced; it was too perfect for that.

[Naturematthe 51]

Airy closed his eyes to enjoy that moment even more, and when their lips eventually released again, his face was adorned with a happy smile. "Scamps... Please promise to never let me down. I won't even if we're going to spend the rest of our lives here. I..."

Suddenly he heard the volcano rumble. It had rumbled a few times before, but just now he realised.

"Scamps... what is happening? Is the volcano about to..."

[Windy Scamper 403]

"Yes," Scamps said. "It's about to erupt." Scamps then held his hooves. "But...it doesn't matter. We're getting out of here." She looked into his eyes, trying to show how much she cared. "I promise we will. I won't let you down. Ever." She carried him over to the raft, knowing it looked like the only possibilty of escape.

 

"What can we do to help? The volcano's going to blow soon."

[Miss Light Diamond 2,803]

Rose was still helping put the raft together.

 

Star Watched as the two zebras bought... Something up the mountain, Then she realized. *Thats... Thats a pony. NO." She yelled, Running out of the bush and flying over the pony who was supposed to keep watch. She ignored the slight pain in her wing as she ran up the mountain towards Dew Mist.

 

(OOC: Just wanna say this... Dew Mist and Somber are much farther up the mountain that Star.)

[Undyne 1,483]

Spruce immediately caught sight of this pony that was trying to fly up, and pulled out a blow gun ((or however it's called)) and started shooting out little darts at her. Once he realized that he kept missing, he ran up the trail behind her, still shooting more darts at her.

[Miss Light Diamond 2,803]

Star kept running until she felt a sharp pain in her leg. Looking back she saw a small dart. "Buck." She muttered, Reaching back and pulling it out.

She kept running but slowly started to feel dizzy, The world around her was turning and she began to slow down. "I cant... Must... Get Somber." She panted, still trying to run.

[Undyne 1,483]

Once he saw that he hit his target, Spruce grinned. Surprisingly, she was still putting up a fight. Spruce grabbed her by her good wing and slung her onto his back, as she was fighting to stay conscious. 

 

Both of them reached the top, the heat blasting onto their faces. Spruce had spotted Dew unloading the bag, pulling out a wincing Somber. Once Dew grabbed him a hoof, he turned to see Spruce and his "catch".

 

"Well done, Spruce! Not only did you get his marefriend, but we also get to drop two of them in! Excellent!"

 

"Thank you, Dew... It wasn't easy, but I did my job. Can we go ahead and drop them in?"

 

"Why, of course!"

[Marathon 562]

As Stacy wrote on the paper she found she kept looking back at Rose. She hated having to do this but it was best for her, little hop, and the rest if her friends. Half way through stacy began to cry softly, her tears littering the paper as he wrote. As much as it hurt. It was necessary...

[Miss Light Diamond 2,803]

Star tried struggling but keeping herself conscious was already a large challenge. "S-Somber... I love you." She said, glancing down into the crater of the volcano. "P-Please... Dont...Do, This." Her voice slowly started fading and her eyes began to close. *You need to stay conscious Star... If there is a chance you can fly out with Somber, You NEED to stay conscious." She thought, Trying to keep her eyes open... But it was pointless.

[Undyne 1,483]

"Aw, looks like she doesn't want to save her little coltfriend... How sad."

 

Dew looked to Somber, glaring at him. "Well, I guess she wants to be spared the agony of seeing you die... Oh well. Down you go!"

 

At that sudden moment, Spruce did something that no one would have imagined. Putting Star down, away from the edge, he rushed and tackled Dew, causing him to let go of Somber, as they both fell in.

 

Somber could imagine this again... Falling...

 

Like my memories... No, NEVER LIKE MY MEMORIES. NEVER!

 

At that moment, his wings flared open and he managed to start flying up towards the edge again, cringing through his pain. He landed next to Star, who was near unconscious. "Don't worry... I'll get you safe..."
