Chapter 13: Stop, Drop, And Roll
The ponies were finally calm as Fluttershy examined Rainbow Dash's burnt up wing. " It definitely will burn for an hour more, but you will get through it." Rainbow nodded the best she could, still holding back shrieks from the continuing burning pain.
Suddenly, a spark flew onto the wood plank below the ponies, setting it on fire. They all jumped back, smooshed into a small corner. " That's not good… " Lily smiled nervously.
Meanwhile…
Tempest and Capper continued running, trying their best to find their friends. " I'll go this way, you head that way, " Tempest tried to sound confident as she ran a different way from Capper.
Tempest ran down a dark alley, as she noticed something on fire up ahead. No way to know what was inside it, she heard a loud shriek, sounding like Rainbow Dash.
Immediately, she ran even closer to the flaming cage. She then saw all of her friends, including Lily, stuck in the burning flames.
She noticed an opening that was burnt out from the fire in the bars. " Tempest? " Twilight yelled out. Tempest nodded, knowing what to do next, " You have to jump! ".
Lily nodded, " We must jump! " she then tumbled into the ground, as she got up and ran back to the cage. Rainbow Dash jumped down, with Applejack behind her. Rarity jumped, and Pinkie Pie bounced out.
Fluttershy was still inside the flaming cage, not wanting to get out. " You have to jump Fluttershy! It's the only way! " Tempest yelled out.
Fluttershy just shook her head, still whimpering. Tempest noticed a spark behind her, about to light her tail on fire. Quickly, she jumped up and grabbed the yellow pegasus. The two tumbled into the ground, as the other ponies fell beside them.
" Ground! At last! " Rarity yelled out. Lily had an upset face, " I'm sorry… ". Everypony stared at her, " It's fine. Hey, I wouldn't have offered to have my wing set on fire if I didn't trust you, " Rainbow spoke up.
Lily smiled, " We will get through this, together! ".
