Friends From Two Lands
A/N: Hey, everyone! Guess what?!
Aqua: There's something that kinda sets this story apart from the others we did…but not really. But it does. Sort of. No it doesn't…AAAAAGH!
Solar: One OC in here isn't ours.
Audience: *GAAAAAAAAASP*
*Holds hands up* Calm down! We didn't steal a random stranger's OC or anything!
Audience: Oh.
Summer: The OC we're using is a friend's. So, credit goes to her for Featherfern…(Whispers) That's the OC's name!
Anyway, this story is about two ponies who one day meet, and end up…Well, I won't spoil it for you. You'll have to read to find out!
Aqua: So, without further ado…
All: Enjoy!
This is horrible…The one thing, the one thing we needed is gone, and only I can find it…or that's what they say.
Featherfern grit her teeth, struggling against the wind's strength. This was nothing like home, or Canterlot, or Manehattan…One thing was clear.
She had just left Equestria.
Now, she was in a strange place. She hoped this place wasn't dangerous in any way. But then again, how could that be true?
There's no way it's that dangerous! I've been trained to do this stuff! I don't need to—
Her thoughts were cut off as what appeared to be a grey pegasus knocked into her, and a pain hit her left wing. She barely had time to glance at it, but she knew already.
Her wing had been broken.
Featherfern shrieked as she began falling. She thought she noticed a cloud, so hopefully that would soften her fall. But…what if she fell through it?
Crescent Wing licked her lips as she picked up her starflower sandwich. It was the first time in a while she tasted something like this, and she was excited to bite into something from her homeland after days of food from another land.
This is going to be great! She thought as she leaned forward to take a bite of the sandwich and…
She yelped as she was suddenly falling through the cloud, with a purple pegasus above her.
What the heck?! Who is this?! What are they doing here?!
Crescent would have to find out these things later. Now, she had to get her and this pegasus to safety.
Clutching the pegasus, she tried to flap her wings. So far, she was failing, and they weren't far from the ground. She couldn't fail. She couldn't let this pegasus die.
Finally, she managed to fly up and onto another cloud. Placing the pegasus on the soft surface, she landed beside her.
The pegasus groaned. "Wh-what the…?" She looked up at Crescent. "Who are you?"
"I'm Crescent Wing. You?"
"F-Featherfern."
Crescent nodded. "So, Featherfern, what caused you to suddenly knock me out of a cloud?"
"Someone knocked into me, and my wing…well…" Featherfern looked at her wing.
Crescent gasped. "It's broken!"
"Yeah, that's what I was about to say," Featherfern nervously chuckled.
"We need to get that fixed," Crescent said, standing up. "And I know just the pony to do it."
"Who?" Featherfern asked, also standing.
"Starstrike. She's a friend of mine. She'll know how to fix that wing. I'll take you to her!"
As Crescent flew away from the cloud, Featherfern in her hooves, Featherfern looked down at the land below them. In the distance, she thought she could see a few islands.
"What are those islands?" She asked, narrowing her eyes.
"Those are the Isles of The Elements," Crescent answered. "My home."
"Oh." Featherfern said nothing for a moment. "Um…Sorry for knocking into you earlier."
"Don't worry about it," Crescent said. "But you should be careful when flying around here. Some of the Wind ponies can be pretty fast."
"What ponies?"
"Wind ponies."
To say Featherfern was confused would be an understatement. "W-Wind ponies? What do you…?"
"They're a type of Elesi," Crescent said.
"What's an 'Elesi'?"
Crescent sighed. "You never heard about our species?"
"No."
"I'll tell you when we get to the Lunar Reef. We're almost there, anyway."
Featherfern looked around in awe. "Wow…"
"Pretty cool, I know," Crescent said. "This is just one of the towns here. This one's called Silvercloud Town."
"…Silvercloud?"
"You know, like how the clouds look grey at night?"
Featherfern stared blankly at Crescent.
"…Nevermind." Crescent shook her head. "For now, we should get you to Starstrike."
Starstrike looked up from her book as Crescent and Featherfern walked in. "Oh, hi, Cres—" She gasped when she saw Featherfern. "Is that…an Equestrian?!"
"Well, yes, but why did you guess just that?" Featherfern asked. "I mean, I could be a Maretonian."
"What's a Maretonian?" Starstrike asked.
"It's a place," Featherfern answered. "It's outside of Equestria. I'm assuming you never heard of it?"
"I don't think any of us had," Crescent said.
Featherfern sighed. "I see."
Starstrike trotted over to the two. "So, Crescent, and…what's your name?"
"Featherfern."
"Alright. Crescent, Featherfern, what do you guys need?"
"Well, a pegasus knocked into Featherfern a few minutes ago," Crescent said. "And her wing broke."
Starstrike's eyes widened. "Are you serious?"
"No, I'm just joking," Crescent said. "Her wing's fine! No need to worry at all."
Starstrike narrowed her eyes. "If I had a bit for every time you did that…" she said quietly.
Crescent laughed. "Relax, I'm joking."
Starstrike smiled, though it was clear she was still not amused. "Okay, then. Featherfern, come with me. I'll fix that wing up."
Featherfern nodded, and went into another room with the pegasus.
For the few minutes Featherfern and Starstrike were in that room, Crescent just sat there and read a couple of books.
"Something, something, he's so handsome, something," Crescent grumbled. "I'll never understand why Starstrike has these."
She looked up as she heard the door open. Starstrike and Featherfern, who now had a wing-cast, walked into the room.
"Hey, guys!" Crescent grinned. "How'd the check-up…or…whatever you call it go?"
Starstrike face-hooved. "I…Crescent, I just…No."
Crescent snickered. "Anyway, how'd it go?"
"It went great!" Featherfern said. "Your friend is a great doctor."
"Thank you," Starstrike said. "I…try my best." She lightly blushed.
"You're looking a little red there, Star." Crescent smirked.
"Oh my Okeasis, Crescent!"
"So, Featherfern," Crescent said. "Did you want to…go somewhere?"
Featherfern froze. "Um...I'm…not interested in dating at the moment."
Crescent burst into laughter. "I just…Oh my gosh, Featherfern…That's not what I meant!"
"Oh…In that case, sure!" Featherfern smiled. "Where do you want to go?"
"Well, there's this great café not too far away," Crescent said. "Did you want to go there?"
"That sounds good."
Featherfern stared at the menu, eyes wide. "All this stuff…it's so new…"
"I guess it'd be new to someone outside our land," Crescent said. "What catches your eye?"
"Everything…"
"Yeah, yeah, be serious, Feather."
"Okay…Well, the Moonbud Noodle Soup sounds really good."
"Oh, yeah, that's my favorite too. Those Moonbuds…they're so sweet, yet spicy…I don't know how they do it," Crescent said, looking up from her menu. "But I think I'll just order the Starflower Sandwich." She chuckled. "Which I was eating when we first met…"
"Oh, yeah, I thought I saw a sandwich when I knocked you out of that cloud," Featherfern said. "That's what it was?"
"Yeah!" Crescent looked back down. "So, now we have to decide what to drink…"
"Let's see," Featherfern said. "The mango juice sounds nice."
"I think I'll get the Star-Pop." Crescent closed her menu and put it on the table. "So, Featherfern...I was just wondering, what exactly were you doing flying around our place?"
"Oh…well…" Featherfern rubbed her arm. "You see…I was looking for a crystal."
Solar: *Glares*
…What?
Solar: *Points to username*
Come on! (Sigh) You're never going to stop talking about that, are you?
Solar: Nope.
-_- Anyway…Yeah. Featherfern's talking about a crystal. And my username has the word "crystal" in it.
Summer: The last time you used "Crystal"…well…
Don't worry, it'll end well this time. It's not the name of a character, right?
Summer: Yeah…
Winter: Anyway, please review.
Solar: And no flaming! *Tail catches on fire* OH YOU'VE GOTTA BE—
All: See ya! :D
