@, "In that case," Rarity replied, "How about I show you the designs I've made before I make them up, and you can give me your opinion on them and choose which one you like best? Would you like a dress, or something else?"

@,

 

Dennis smiled... he too needed the distraction. Distraction from the mission... and at least the slight delusion that he was safe...
 

"So... since you know... you don't like swimming how about we play a game? I am sure Cat has some board games like Battleship... or i could fetch the Odyssey from the Internet. You know... that book i told you about the sea monsters, the gods, and the cunning Ulysses? You'd be suprised how many of the mythical creatures you have in Equestria are mentioned. I'd bet if you liked Daring Do you'll love this one... Whatever you like really..."

Twilight Sparkle.

 

@@Hypn0ticD,

 

"I don't know AJ, I just..." Twilight was about to respond when yet another bout of bickering burst out not too far away. She closed her eyes and took a breath: how was she supposed to work with them when they couldn't even work amongst themselves?

 

"There's just... something strange about all this. Stranger than... you know - this. I just want to get us back together and..."

 

Together. Something about that word seemed so right. It was being seperated from her old friends that was so hard: it stirred a feeling inside of her. Memories - a determination that had been worn away by recent events.

 

No, she didn't trust everyone here - even if her friends did. That was her duty - just like how they didn't believe that there was anything wrong with Cadence. It was her duty to protect her friends, even if they didn't want to be protected - even if it meant making some enemies.

 

She blinked.

 

@@00Pony,

 

"You." Twilight rounded on Sebastian. "You're going to fly us away from here."

 

She tilted her head to include Logan in her view.

 

"And if there's even the slightest doubt... he's your friend."

 

It felt strange, giving orders - especially ones so sharply worded, and to her friends. Of course, she had no actual authority in this world: even back in Equestria her status was mostly ceremonial anyway - lacking a kingdom of her own. She could only hope that with the right tone of voice and determination, perhaps she could clear all of this mess up for long enough to get to safety.

 

"I know its hard to do the right thing when your friends are concerned. Angie, I need you to make sure he's safe as well. I fully intend to get back to my friends without anyone else getting hurt."

 

@@Pripyat Pony,

 

"Okay..." Twilight took a breath - this was okay: everything was fine. She turned and took a few steps towards the changelings.

 

"We're finding your queen. Until then, I want you searching the emotions of everyone we deal with - you can do that, right?" She paused thoughtfully. "I want to know if we're being betrayed before it happens. We don't have to like each other to... to work towards a common goal."

 

Doing her best to try and smile towards Cicadia - it came out as more of a pained grimace, but the effort was there. She might still have had a somewhat sour view of the insectoids after all...

 

"And please try to put your differences aside and get along! By Celestia, you're giving me a headache! I am getting out of here, and I'll be damned if I'm stopped because we can't get over our petty quarrelling, swallow our pride and apologise to each other!!"

 

Now short of breath, she took a few moments to recover after her outburst. A little over the top - perhaps - but if it had the desired effect... well, the ends would justify the means. She only hoped that none of them thought any less of her.

 

"As for everybody else... will that thing even carry all of us? I mean, without magic, things here seem kind of... flimsy."

(So yesterday didn't work out. Passed out before I could.)

 

Diliges had only given Twilight a smirk, one that was a mixture of satisfaction and understanding, in response at first. Only a couple seconds elapsed before he called back, "I can accept such a risk, Princess."

 

--

 

Alternatively, his smirk and humor instantly faded when Stephen gave Cicada a lecture. His mirth was instead replaced by irritation, and the Captain stood at his full height, fists clenched tightly as he prepared himself to advance and strike the human for his insubordination. Clare managed to speak up before that, and the physical confrontation was avoided. (Not really saying anything, but my brain isn't functioning enough to figure something for that out.)

 

--

 

Logan nodded his acknowledgement to Applejack as she led Twilight away. He watched them for a second before turning his attention to the confrontation between the Changelings and their respective Finders. He was actually planning on stepping over and laying into the lot of them himself, but before he could do so, Twilight and AJ returned, the former beginning to give orders. When she was finished, Logan couldn't help but give an impressed chuckle followed by the words, "Well said." Beneath his breath. All the same, he gave a solid nod, "I've already stated I'm willing to take responsibility for him."

 

Angie, who'd been standing slightly off to the side with Shawn, holstered her pistol and saluted, saying, "Got it!" Before realizing she might as well have left her pistol in her hand. She settled for resting her hand on its grip.

 

--

 

Diliges had arched an eyebrow high when Twilight came back, speaking authoritatively. He hadn't really expected that of the Princess, and under other circumstances, he would have disregarded all she said. But as it was, he made a grunt in confirmation, "That is within our capabilities, yes. I'll keep an eye on such things."

 

--

 

"Well, that was the idea." Sebastian said, more to himself than anyone, after Twilight stated he'd fly them there.

 

Despite his position, the pilot couldn't help but laugh when the Princess voiced concern over the helicopter's abilities, "You're kidding!" He glances to Logan, "She's kidding, right?"

 

Slowly, hands still in the air, Sebastian stands, "That bird's a Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk. An attack helicopter made by in America. These babies haven't needed magic to operate for the past forty years, and they're not about to start now. Plus, they can carry fifteen people. More than enough room." He lowers his hands slightly, "If you'll allow me, I need to get it prepped for launch. I suggest you all take five minutes to get anything important from your rooms or your cars. I don't think we're going to be coming back here after we leave."

 

"Why not?" Angie asked, following him to the helicopter.

 

"Because I'm going to blow it up. First protocol, leave no evidence. You guys have left your prints all over the place, not to mention a lot of bodies. That'll talk too long to clean up ourselves, so blowing it's the next best thing. Plus it looks cool as hell!"

 

Now in the cockpit, Sebastian begins the process to turning the Black Hawk back on, "Logan, would you mind passing the message along to everyone?"

 

The officer conceded, leaning out of the door and calling to the rest of the group still gathered, "Hey! Go get anything precious to your from your rooms and cars. We're not going to be coming back here. We can only risk five minutes, go in through the back and don't let anyone see your faces. I suggest you do it quickly."

 

Logan then seats himself in the co pilot's seat, cradling his rifle slightly. Angie sits behind the cockpit, running her hand down Ulysses' back as the dog sits in front of her, letting her eyes wander over the M82 set into a slot on the wall of the Black Hawk, the way a child's eyes would to a greatly coveted toy. While they waited, Sebastian had gotten on the helicopter's loudspeaker and shouted for the people still inside to get up and leave. It took two of the five minutes for him to get fed up enough and throw in the prospect of being blown up if they didn't run. That got them to scatter and run.

 

When questioned about how their testimonies would affect the groups safety, Sebastian answered, "The organization has ties all over. It won't go public, and if it does, it won't involve a helicopter."

 

When the five minutes had passed and everyone was on board, he would raise the helicopter several hundred feet up and away before launching the rockets destined to destroy the evidence. The resulting fireball was magnificent addition to the late evening sky.

@, "Yes," Cicada replied to Twilight. "We can do that, and easily. I will try to get along with the others, however if somepony keeps verbally abusing me, it's going to be difficult."

 

Cicada was surprised at Clare standing up for her, but a lot of what the human had said was true. Cicada hadn't even thought of attacking Stephen with spells after he had constantly attacked her, cuz the team was the most important thing. As Hive Commander, Cicada was used to working within a team and this was no different.

[Hypn0ticD 1,213]

Stephen sighed heavily. Clare was right. Cicada was turning out to be a real pain in the ass, but there was no point in fighting any longer. They were all there to rescue this Queen Chrysalis, so the Equestrians could get home…

 

"Fine. Ah concede to being an complete asshole. Now let's just--"

 

Stephen was cut off by Twilight's approach. She first addressed the commander and captain, in a surprisingly authoritative manner, before turning to him, a stern look upon her face as she dressed them both down.

 

Stephen managed a brusque "Sorry," to the Changeling commander, looking away and feeling quite stupid at having been made to apologize like a child. He caught a glance of the sour expression on Diliges' face, no doubt being none too pleased at having some civilian talk down to his superior. As much as it was a stupid idea to do so right in front of him, Stephen had at least some small satisfaction at getting his point across to Cicada.

 

He looked away to focus his attention on Twilight as she addressed the pilot, causing him to elicit a laugh for one reason or anoother, before saying something to her...

 

Sebastian then got back into the mechanical bird, Logan joining him before popping his head out of the door to tell everyone to go get ready…

 

****

 

"Go get inside that doohickey, Twi. Ah'm agonna get our stuff!" Applejack said, taking off for the building Bette her friend could protest. She did as Logan instructed, again sticking to the shadows, looking around to spot both twins following suit--- one heading for the cars, the other following closely behind her. She focused back on her task, knowing not which twin was following her, leading the way to the stairwell they just came from…

 

Once inside, Applejack got a good at the carnage. She looked away, her face going pale, when the twin placed a hand on her shoulder. "We can't dwell on them noo. Jist get yer things!"

 

Applejack wanted to say something, wanted to balk at the curt behavior the human now possessed, but in the end, he was right. There was no time to marvel at the depths of human savagery! With a focused effort, she continued on to her room, taking but a moment to grab both her and Twilight's bags. They can sort out the non-valuable stuff later!

 

She rejoined the twin back in the hall, who had since then taken what seemed to be five or six bags. "Go grab Cicada's bag! Ah'm full up!"

 

Applejack wasted no time in grabbing the Changeling's belongings, and in no time, racing back out of the building with the Scot, joining up with the other.

 

****

 

After somewhat hastily placing everyone's bags in the rearmost seats, the Scots and the Cowpony arranged themselves in the available seats* -- Shawn taking the seat closest to Angie, AJ seating herself as close to Logan as she could, leaving Stephen to find himself next to the princess, as he wanted nothing more than to just avoid any conversation with the Changelings...

 

****

 

All three sat in silence as the chopper ascended into the evening sky, only to jump in their seats as rockets were launched at the motel, razing the building in fiery, action movie-like glory.

 

"Ah ha ha ha! Noo that's a send off!" Shawn was heard to shout.

 

((*I don't know how seats are arranged in helicopters, 00, so bail me out!

Clare had lost no time in grabbing both her and Diliges' belongings from the motel. She sighed a little at the thought that her car was to be destroyed, and took some items from it which had little monetary value, but great sentimental value. She thought about mentioning about her car, but decided not to; it seemed silly to be bothering about her car when there were other things, far more important, at stake. Once inside the helicopter, she sat next to Diliges and looked out the window as it rose.

 

~~~

 

Cicada turned to Stephen once they were aboard, and held out a hand. "I accept your apology. I hope that we can at least work together from now on. Nopony's expecting us to be friends, but we can at least be colleagues."

[The Elusive Cinder 1,328]

Rainbow Dash!

 

"I want to fly again!" Dash snapped - not aggressively, but as if she had been doing her very best to not say anything. "But y'know - it's not the same here so... yeah, can you show me that book?"

 

She grinned halfheartedly - she didn't want them thinking that she was weak. She was Rainbow Dash after all!

 

"I guess that I'll just have to settle for reading about other people doing their cool stuff."

 

Hopping to her feet, the ex-pegasus shrugged, looking back at Dennis with a somewhat more genuine grin.

 

"C'mon, I just need to do something - show me this thing then... I bet that I'm cooler than this Ulysses guy."

 

She stopped suddenly.

 

"You know..." She said, reaching an arm around to the back of her neck as she looked at the ground nervously. "I don't suppose we could... fine it in a book, could we? I bet Twilight would want to read it too..."

 

---------------

 

Fluttershy...

 

Suddenly, Fluttershy was in her element.

 

Okay, perhaps not quite: she was still perpetually afraid that she was going to go under the water and drown at any moment, or that there might be nasty, dangerous creatures hiding somewhere in the completely enclosed pool... but mimicking the motions that Colette made and feeling the control that she had - it was something that she had never really felt before other than when around animals. A feeling like she was in charge of herself: like she wasn't just a fallen leaf in the wind. It was...

 

She gave a panicked squeak as her head submerged for a brief moment.

 

Thrashing to the surface, Fluttershy felt her heart beating hard against the inside of her chest. She gasped at the air and caught her breath - tasting the chlorinated water at the back if her throat.

 

"That... I... It..." She stumbled through words. "That... wasn't so bad. Until the end. But it was okay." She smiled - trying the (much safer) forward swimming again to return to her friends partners proximity. As soon as she was within range, her arms shot out and wrapped themselves affectionately around Colette, as the reclusive pegasus rested her head on the girls shoulder. "Thank you so much!"

 

---------------

 

Twilight Sparkle.

 

Twilight watched in amazement for a second: somewhat stunned that her orders had even been heard - never mind followed. Allowing for a few seconds of silent celebration in her mind, she forced a stern look at returned to the task at hand.

 

"Hey, uhm..." She said quietly, approaching Cicada again. "When I said to get along with each other, I meant all of us." She shrugged. "Sorry for... well, you know. I could have been a little more... accommodating."

 

Just as the unicorn had been about to hold out a hand (a human concept that she still didn't fully understand) it seemed that everyone had sprung into action. As she was into the helicopter, she hoped that a hurried "Thanks!" would suffice in showing the Changeling that she was at least trying to put aside their differences.

 

...

 

Twilight winced at the explosion - recoiling slightly away from the sudden burst of light and heat. She hoped that nobody had still been inside - even if they were enemies, it was still hard to distance herself from the simple fact that killing was wrong. Admittedly, the reaction necessary for such a scale explosion, and the very fact that it had been delivered on demand with such pinpoint accuracy - at a distance to boot - was at least half impressive.

 

'These humans have amazing minds...' She thought sadly. 'But only seem to harness them to find new ways of hurting each other...'

Colette watched as Fluttershy attempted the technique herself, applauding the Pegasus as she swam on her back, only to be startled as her head went under, sending her into a bit of a panic.

 

She returned Fluttershy's embrace, helping her out of the water. Looks like Dash didn't wanna come out and swim, after all… too bad!

 

"I think that Imma hit the stain, guys," Colette said, addressing the lot at the pool, taking Fluttershy by the hand and waving.

 

She glided past Dennis and Dash, a smirk upon her face. "Too bad you didn't learn to swim, Dashie…" she taunted. "It's not that bad~! Even Flutters can do it!"

 

After chuckling at Dash's reaction,Colette led the soft yellow Pegasus on to their bedroom, to get ready for the night…

"I think it would be better if you surprised me." Cat smiled and looked at her watch. "It's getting late and I'm getting sleepy, so I'll be heading to bed now." She got out of the hot tub and addressed everyone. "Bonne nuit, everyone. If you need anything, just find Jaques; he can help you with just about anything." With that, she went to her room, changed into a nightgown, and got in bed. She laid there for a while, just thinking to herself. Merde, qu'est-ce qui ne va pas avec moi? Pourquoi ai-je ces sentiments au sujet de Colette à nouveau? Je sais qu'elle a déjà prise, mais ... Et pourquoi suis-je jaloux? Et puis dire que je vais juste vous et laisse pour Equestria? Je n'ai pas une bonne raison de quitter l'autre que d'être avec eux tous. Alors, pourquoi dois-je laisser tout ce que j'ai derrière? Cat rolled over and buried her head into her pillow. She finally fell asleep after a little while.

Colette awoke with a stretch, stopping just shy of bumping into the (presumably) still sleeping Pegasus.

 

Huh… Living with Ponies must've been getting to her, 'cause she was up early for a change! Nevertheless, she tiptoed her way into the bathroom, emerging after freshening herself up. She crept her way out of the room, keeping as quiet as possible as she made her way to the kitchen. Not even Rainbow Dash was up, and she was usually was wandering around the roof by now!

 

After some fishing around , she pulled out the necessary ingredients for a big breakfast-- sans the heavily missed bacon! No sense in freaking the ponies out again!

 

In short order, Colette had breakfast ready, setting plates at the table before taking up a pot and wooden spoon, banging them together like a small child "YO!!! BREAKFAST IS SERVED!"

[~The Snowy Wolf~ 1,579]

Catherine walked in, half asleep, with disheveled hair and a cup of morning tea which Jaques had prepared for her. "Not my usual wake up call, but... C'est bien parce que cette nourriture sent bon. I'm guessing you beat Jaques to the kitchen? How early did you wake up?" She took a plate and sat down at the bar (see picture)

Nick was still sleeping as Charles was up anyway, doing 200 Push ups, as he was doing them while thinking about something and then do a handstand while he was standing on his hands. Then once he was done he put on a robe, as he went to the kitchen, seeing Colette and Cat was wake while he smiles to them. Then pour some coffee in his cup and then sit-down. “Morning to you all and Cat do you get the Morning news paper?”

[Pripyat Pony 2,608]

Rarity winced as she heard the noise. Technically, she was up but was still doing her face and hair. Rarity would never even dream of turning up to breakfast looking less than pristine. The thought of the shopping trip filled her with joy; Rarity loved shopping and would also love the chance to possibly make over Rainbow Dash and Colette. Both, in Rarity's honest opinion, could do with looking a tiny bit more girly.

 

~~~

 

Louise made her way downstairs, having showered and brushed her hair in record time. She was still on edge, despite having slept well, and was wishing that she could relax. She sat down at the breakfast table and poured herself some coffee.

 

~~~

 

Pinkie bounced into the breakfast room, a wide grin on her face. "Morning!" she sang out to Colette. "That was a big noise you just made! I like to make noise like that to get ponies to come and eat, but I didn't think that anypony else did!"

[The Elusive Cinder 1,328]

Rainbow Dash!

 

"Yeah, thanks a lot for that!" Came the irritable groan of Rainbow Dash as the house suddenly seemed to explode with nouse and activity. "Because, you know, I wasn't trying to sleep or anything!"

 

It took several minutes, but she eventually made her way out of bed and to the table alongside the others - albeit while muttering something about 'the crack of bloody dawn' under her breath between ample yawns.

 

"Any actual reason for all the shouting, or did you just not think that Pinkie was loud enough for us all?" She grumbled, helping herself to some food.

 

---------------

 

Fluttershy...

 

Creeping into the room and sitting down, Fluttershy quickly claimed her food without a sound - deciding that between the banging and the shouting and Dash's grumbling...there was already quite enough noise without her adding to it.

 

She hadn't been asleep - the birdsong had woken her up a little while earlier: but it had stil come as a surprise when Colette had started shouting.

 

---------------

 

Twilight Sparkle.

 

Pleased (or at least, content) with the results of her speech, Twilight looked out into the distance for a while as the sound of the whirling blades above her and the relative silence of her companions filled her ears.

 

They had stopped arguing, for the most part. Hopefully it would at least last long enough to make a difference.

 

"How long will until we get there?" She asked loudly: wondering if this was even possible after all. If they were traveling for too long it was likely that the group would start to break down again.

 

Harmony - that was what they lacked. For all the strengths that they had between them, the various races had no synergy: they were barely tolerating each other and she was just as guilty as any of the others. The one thing that had always set her and her friends apart from others was something that they simply didn't have... and it frightened her a little. Not enough for her to show it: she coukdnt let it show... couldn't appear weak... but the doubt was there.

[~The Snowy Wolf~ 1,579]

If Cat wasn't completely awake before, she definitely was now. "Well someone is not a morning person. Why don't you have some tea and relax a bit?" She fixed Dash a cup and set it down in front of her. Jaques heard the yelling and walked in. "Is everything alright, mademoiselle?"

"Everything's fine."

"Is there anything I could help you with?"

"Well, we're going shopping today.."

"Shall I ready a car for you?"

"The Knight would be best."

"The Knight??" Jaques looked surprised and a bit unnerved. "Is everything alright, Catherine?"

"Considering the circumstances, it's best to be prepared."

"Yes, mademoiselle." With that, he left to go to the garage

"Insanely early!" Colette answered, "I must be getting used to having Rainbow wake me up by sneaking onto the roof or something!" She said, smirking as the grumpy Pegasus entered the kitchen. "Speak of the devil... You know, I'm surprised that you weren't up by now! We must've switched wake up times!" Colette understood why the Pegasus would want little extra sleep, with what both she and Pinkie had been through... Still, she smirked at Rainbow as she took a seat next to Fluttershy, glad to at least see that she was at least getting back to normal! "Actually Cat, Dash is the early bird! She's usually up around 5 or 6, and wandering around on the roof!" Colette responded before taking a bite of her breakfast before addressing Pinkie. "You know me! I'm usually comatose until noon, but I'd thought I'd wake everyone up for a change!" Colette then took another bite of her food, looking around to see that everyone had gathered at the bar, and lifted an eyebrow as she watched Rainbow Dash use utensils for a change!

 

"Well, since we've left everything in Wisconsin, we're gonna go clothes shopping, and by that, I mean you're get all girled up by Rarity, Fluttershy, and Cat, whilst I sit back, point and laugh! Then go get some graphic tees and jeans!"

It had 6 seats, two sets in the rear facing each other and a divider between the cabin and the rear compartment. "This, mon Amis, is the Knight. It's gotten my father out of some tough places so if Abernathy is on our tail, we'll be ready. But let's not focus on that. Let's go shopping." As Cat hopped in the driver's seat, Jaques came up to her. "Are you sure you don't want me to chauffeur you girls around?"

"Definitely sure."

"Okay. Well I found this after you came home last night." He handed her the pistol that she had taken off of Abernathy. "I've taken the liberty of buying some ammunition and magazines."

"Thank you, Jack." Cat then got on the intercom. "Get in, girls. Time to go shopping."

"Perhaps as well we could stop over and have hooficures... wait, you call them manicures here, don't you?" she asked Colette. "I really could do with one right now; my nails need it." Rarity was already planning on what clothes to get for Rainbow, to make her look fabulous!

"Yes, Rarity, they're called manicures!" Colette said with a roll of the eyes and a smirk. "Why don't you and the girls go with Cat to go get one?? Dash can go with you!" She teased, turning to the Pegasus with a wink and mischievous grin.

 

Colette had taken her own and Fluttershy's plate once they were finished eating, and placed therm in the sink, making a mental note to take care of therm once they got back from shopping. She retook her place next to the timid Pegasus, taking her hand as she followed Catherine to the manor's garage, and over to-- A FRIGGIN' HUMMER ON STEROIDS! "God DAAAAAMN, Cat!" Colette exclaimed after a whistle. "This thing's a friggin' tank on wheels!"

 

She climbed in, then helped Fluttershy, only to look around. "Uhmm, Cat? This tank is mondo huge and all, but there's only six seats, and there are eight butts..." She then climbed back out of the behemoth, bringing a hand to her chin. "Since Abernathy's after the Ponies, they should ride with you." Colette said after the butler handed Catherine the gun she lifted earlier. Was she licensed?? It didn't matter! What mattered is that the Equestrians are given as much protection as they could get!

 

"Dennis or Louise can ride with me, as we're not the targets!" She then turned to Rainbow, pulling her cellphone from her pocket. "Call whoever rides with me if anything comes up!" She then turned back to Dennis and Louise. "Which one a' you wants to ride with me??"

 

((Just post whatever Dash and Fluttershy say / do up to this point! And is it just me, or does anyone else wanna go run over a rogue horde of Zombies with the knight??))

“ Since there only six Seats me and Nick will follow you.” Charles saying as he, Nick went to there Car as Nick get in the passenger side Charles open the trunk as he punch some codes and then it open a special compartment for his guns as he put his 9mm into the compartment and then close it. This way cops won’t find it and he is only one know the code too. Then he get into the car and then starting it up while putting his seat belt on too.

"Rainbow most certainly must come!" Rarity exclaimed, as she sneaked a glance at Rainbow's hands. "Her nails are in such a state, it makes me feel quite faint!"

 

Pinkie was unsure about the idea of a manicure. She turned to Rarity. "Can I get my nails done in bright pink?" she asked. "With stripes?"

 

Rarity smiled at Pinkie. "Of course!" She'd seen nail shops with pictures before, and some of them had very complicated patterns on them. Pinkie then brightened up.

 

Louise figured that Dennis would want to ride with Rainbow Dash, so she replied to Colette, "I'll ride with you." Perhaps they could talk a bit, and get to know each other better.

Rainbow Dash!

 

"First one of you that tried to touch me with your prissy mani-whatsits is going to find out what the bottom of my shoe looks like. Really close up..." Dash grumbled loudly as she listened in on the plans to ruin her perfectly functional hands by sticking on some stupid beads or glitter... or whatever it was that they were planning to do!

 

"No way, not happening. Nope. No chance. Don't even think about it.

 

...

 

Try as she might though, even the sleepless and groggy Rainbow Dash couldn't deny that the car was... pretty damn impressive. If they couldn't fly them at least they had style - real style that was: not the 'fluffy pink gunk' that Rarity would have called style.

 

"You know..." She mused, climbing in and pausing to motion towards the gun which had just been handed to Cat. "We'd be a lot safer if we had some of those things. I mean, if they're after us anyway..."

Fluttershy...

 

"Rainbow Dash!" Fluttershy squeaked in response to the suggestion - closing her eyes and shaking her head firmly. "No! I don't want to be anywhere near one of those! I wish that there weren't any at all!"

 

She stood, frozen just outside of the vehicle (which she had withheld comment on).

 

"How could you? Those things are... they're.... bad things!"

 

Dash looked at Fluttershy - mouth hanging open slightly at the sudden outburst.

 

"Geez... I'm sorry 'Shy, okay?" She said, shocked.

 

"No! I want you to promise not to ever touch one! They frighten me Rainbow Dash, I don't want you to get hurt..."

 

"Okay already! I promise! Damn... just get in the car already!"

 

The shy pegasus smiled weakly as she did what she was asked.

 

"... thank you." She mumbled as she sidled up beside her lifelong friend with a little trepidation. "Sorry, I just don't like them..."
