Chapter 2: Dying Matters

Flutterdash rounded the corner to the house and spotted a river. "There." He pointed. "We can find penicillin here."

"Are you sure? I mean wouldn't the radiation disperse in the water and kill the moss?" Plague asked.

"We have no choice but to look." He replied.

They neared the river and as Flutterdash touched the water Plague fell to the ground. Hearing her body hit the ground he turned. "Plague are you okay?" he asked as she slowly got up.

"Yea I'm fine, but I got a slight headache and minor radiation sickness." Plague confirmed. Flutterdash went back to his search.

"How long ago did you find that out?" He asked.

"I think it was a few weeks ago." She replied.

"A few weeks ago and you didn't tell anyone!" Flutterdash said with an alarming tone.

"Well I told my dad and that's when we started looking for Mystic." She explained.

"Aha!" Flutterdash exclaimed. "Here we go." He said as he picked up a green plant.

"Now how are we going to get water?" Plague asked.

"Mystic taught me a spell that can pick up certain amounts of water." Flutter replied. He lowered his horn and concentrated really hard. Plague could see that he was straining and was about to speak, but his horn finally started to glow. She watched as water started to rise from the river.

"Wow!" she calmly said. "Isn't that hard?"

Flutterdash looked up at Plague. "It is when you don't concentrate."

Plague looked at him questionably trying to figure out what he meant. "Oh sorry." She giggled. She realized what he was talking about; her talking was breaking his concentration. She watched as he walked up the bank of the stream and back to the house. He stopped and turned around.

"Are you coming?" he asked.

Plague shook a thought out of her head before answering. "Not right now, but can you tell my father that I need to talk to him."

"Alright." He said before turning and running into the house.

Before Flutterdash even got through the door Ace Icyblaze approached him. "Where is my daughter?" he asked with worry in his voice.

"Calm down Ace she is outside. She told me to tell you that she wants to talk to you about something." Flutter said. He watched as Ace took off through the door.

"Oh you found all the ingredients!" Mystic exclaimed. "That was fast." She happily trotted over to Flutterdash and noticed that he wasn't looking so happy. "What's wrong?" she asked out of curiosity.

"It's Plague, I think she is dying." He answered.

Dear readers I have forgotten to mention a few people in the first chapter, that without them I probably wouldn't be writing anymore. First off is the person who made a room in the Equestria Daily chat so that we may work in peace, I am pleased to thank Mystic the leader of this Role Play. Secondly I would like to thank Princess—Plague for coming up with the topic. It was a great topic and there was plenty of ways to finish it, but I think the way we did it was great. Third Is Ace Icyblaze, he helped us through the problems that we ran into and help Mystic answer questions anypony had. Fourth is a person that had multiple and mixed emotions (and parts), I thank Tyrant_Bizzare for the descision to be the good and the bad guy. Without these guys I wouldn't have been able to write about. I couldn't figure out what to write about and I started to run out of ideas, but they invited me to a RP and half way through I though about writing a story based on the RP. There you have it the story behind me writing this story. Hope you all enjoy the rest of it and please if you have anymore story ideas on MLP or Bolt I would love it if you would PM me.

P.S. Always looking for writing partners…
