Hi everyone! I'm sorry I haven't posted any new chapters recently, but schools over now for the summer and I have more time so I have more time to write. And the very few people reading my other story, i'd like to apologize for deleting it, I couldn't figure out how to build up to the end of the story. I'm not going to be working on it any more. If you wanted to know how it was basically going to end is, rainbow and fluttershy was going to gradually meet their friends and rainbow was eventually going to move out and get her own house. Than years would pass, they'd meet twilight, more years would pass and eventually rainbow would meet her idol daring do only to figure out it was her older sister all this time, etc… family reunion. That kind of stuff. I don't actually think they're related but I thought id make a good story. It just wasn't fun to write anymore and I wanted to work on this story. Anyways, I present the perks of being sweetie belle. Chapter 10.
Rainbow dash and applejack sat their on a log floating in the ocean. Cold, wet, and frustrated. They paddled towards land or a while in silence.
"Th-this is s-so pointless! Why can't I j-just fly to shore and get help." Rainbow asked stuttering from the cold water spraying them.
"For the last time Rainbow, Y-you can once we get closer. If, i'm alone out here, and t-the tide changes, yall m-might not be able to find me again." Applejack argued.
"Ugh! I need to fly!"
"And I need to not be stuck in the ocean!"
"I w-wish I could just fly this s-stupid log to shore." Rainbow groaned.
The two swam in silence again.
"W-what if you can?" Applejack asked.
"It's too heavy Applejack, I was joking"
"No, just… hang on." Applejack completely immersed herself onto the log to go through her saddlebags.
"Yes, here it is!" Applejack exclaimed holding up an old rope.
"Come here for a sec." Applejack said before proceeding to tie the rope around some loose branches on the log.
"What are you doing?" Rainbow Dash asked.
"Here, tie this around yourself, you can pull the log to shore while flying and i'll continue to paddle.
"I mean, alright as long as I don't need to be in the cold water anymore. Thanks." Rainbow Dash said quickly tying the rope around her waist and daring into the sky about five feet up or so.
Applejack looked back down at the water and frowned as she would need to get back into it.
They moved much faster now as Rainbow was a strong flyer. About an hour later the two made it about 40 yards or so from the beach. It looked abandoned, or like no pony was allowed on it. Most likely due to the large cliff taking up most of the space.
"Come on AJ, were almost their!" Rainbow yelled from above.
The two pushed on a little further until larger waves started to build up behind them.
"We might need to hurry so we aren't crushed by one of these wav-" Applejack started to say until a large wave grew behind them before crashing down on the log pushing Applejack along with their things underwater. Because Rainbo was tied to the log as well as their belongings she was yanked down to the water as well.
They struggled to swim up to the surface of the water gasping for any air they could get before another wave would crash back down on them.
On a good note they eventually washed up to shore.
"That was your worse idea,*gasp* ever AJ!" Rainbow Dash yelled all tangled up in rope around the log tot too far away from Applejack.
Looking towards Rainbow Dash, and the mess she was in, Applejack irst out in a fit of laughing and coughing from the sight and being away from oxygen for so long.
"What's so funny!" Rainbow yelled. "You're not the one tied to a log, help me already."
"Sorry Rainbow, If yall was hurt I wouldn't be laughing so much, but even you have to admit that was hilarious." Applejack said while still laughing before heading over to help untie her friend.
"Alright maybe a little." Rainbow dash said.
Once untied, Rainbow Dash started to fly up the cliff.
"Wait! We need to find our things still Rainbow." Applejack called.
"Right, sorry. Um… Oh, they're over to your right AJ!" Rainbow Dash called from the air.
"Thanks, but i'm not carrying your stuff so if you want them you gotta come get them yourself." Applejack said rummaging through her saddlebags.
"Ugh, fine." Rainbow said to herself before flying back down.
"We better hurry AJ, I don't think we're supposed to be down here. Wait, what are you looking for?"
"The maps and the walkie talkies, I need to see if they made it. Yall should go through your things too and throw out what's ruined." Applejack said.
"I was going to do that but we should head up into the city first. I really don't think we're supposed to be down here." Rainbow DAsh said pointing to a nearby sign that read No Trespassing! On the front.
"Alright. Hang on," Applejack said closing her bag and throwing it around her back loosely so she could take it off quickly once in the city.
Rainbow Dash flew quickly to the top and waited for Applejack to climb up.
"There's a garbage bin up ahead come on," Applejack said once up before running over to once again rummage through her things.
"Calm down AJ. We don't even need that stuff any more. Were in the city and we each have some bits with us. We can just take the train to the Crystal empire to meet the others."
"Thats a good thing I guess because this stuff looks pretty ruined." Applejack said throwing most of her things away.
"Could we buy some snacks or at least some water before we get on the train. All my stuffs ruined too and i'm pretty worn out from getting here." Rainbow Dash asked as she threw away most of her things as well.
"Yea, well need some things anyways. Even after we meet up with the others we still need to search for Sweetie Belle. Gosh I hope that fillies alright." Applejack said.
The too found the nearest shop and bought some more supplies before getting to the train.
"It'll take at least a day and a half to get their. At least we don't need to walk like the others." Rainbow Dash said.
"Yea, I hope everyone's alright though. Too bad we can't contact them." Applejack said.
"We better get on the train, it'll be leaving soon.' Rainbow Dash said before the two climbed aboard and found somewhere to sit.
