Resurrecting Rainbow: Chapter 5

Twilight Sparkle used her loyal horn to create light in the dark ocean. Derpy Hooves was right next to her, reading a book made out of rock upside-down. Typical Derpy, she thought. Princess Twilight eyed something suspicious. She saw a sky-blue figure shaped like... A coral reef! Nope. Not Rainbow. She ventured deeper into the ocean while a grey Pegasus trailed her slowly. Both of the underwater equines started freaking out when they spotted a ghost-like creature-thingy float in front of them. The ghost pony was yellow with a pink mane and sea-green eyes. It had a cutie-mark of three butterflies. Twilight started breathing heavily. "The element of Loyalty, and NOW the element of Kindness GONE?!" Derpy Hooves was in no panic about Fluttershy. She was worried about the oxygen tanks. "Umm... Princess? We're running out of oxygen!"


"Umm, Princess? We're running out of oxygen!" That was the last thing Twilight Sparkle remembered before fainting. She was greeted on the beach by two pairs of eyes: Derpy Hooves and... Fluttershy? Fluttershy silently giggled. "You.. You... thought I was a ghost? That really would've scared me, too. Trust me. Wha-What were you and Derpy doing underwater? I mean, if you-if you don't mind."

"Oh, that's fine, Fluttershy, we, um, we..." Twilight Sparkle was at a loss for words. She didn't quite know how to explain how they were looking for Rainbow Dash's corpse in the bottom of the sea to a shy, scared-of-her-own-shadow mare. "Umm, we need to practice scuba-diving?" Twilight struggled.

Fluttershy spoke when she was being lied to. She knew what they were doing. "Or that you were swimming in the water to find the body of Rainbow Dash in hopes of bringing her back to life? N-n-not to sound mean, of course..." She whimpered while hiding her face with the perfect mane for shy ponies. Her compassionate-looking eyes shone in worry that the two magic miniature horses were going to be angry at her. A certain grey pony's eyes rolled around, being wall-eyed was not fun. Twilight Sparkle started a conversation. "I was never trying to sound mad, Fluttershy. Now, why were YOU lurking in the ocean?"

"Because I wanted to... um... (mumbles).. I wanted to... I WANTED TO HELP YOU!" Fluttershy suddenly screamed.

"Very well then," reasoned Twilight Sparkle. "Let's get our pony on!"

The equines of colorful hues gathered up at the shore of the ocean. They found three places to start. One, the path to the nearest village, two, a boulder sticking out of the sand, and three, a scraggly Everfree-like tree that had twisty branches. Derpy started at place #1, Fluttershy at place #2, and Princess Twilight Sparkle at place #3. On the count of 10, they would trot into the water and split up. Derpy Hooves did the counting. "6, 3, 1, 5, 8, 7, 9, 2, 4, 10!" The ponies splashed into the water and kept their eyes peeled for the body of Rainbow Dash!


Rainbow Dash


Rainbow Dash rolled her rose eyes at the green-eyed Francois Toast. He had just beat her in a game of Filly!, so she had to claim revenge on him by playing it again. Rainbow was super-duper sure of herself this time. She rolled a 6, beating Francois's score of 4. A few minutes later, Rainbow's piece was halfway across the board and Francois's piece was almost to the finish. Then, Rainbow Dash felt something, a voice in her head telling her to stop playing, and there was a disturbance to her unmoving self in the living world. Somepony had picked up and carried home her fallen self!


Author's Note: Sorry for not updating in a while. Just to let you know, I'm starting summer camp on July 6th and it lasts for 9 days, so I won't be able to. Also, I've been busy with packing for camp, I'm missing my toothbrush (of all things!) and we are pretty much searching every single inch of the house. Thank you, my readers. You ought to represent the other Elements of Loyalty. Don't forget to review and judge me! Not by the book's cover, of course.
