Here is the next chapter for my story. Slowy I'm putting it together. I hope you enjoy it.
I don't own My Little Pony.
Birds chirping in the trees woke Gemini from her sleep. She stretched her front legs and then her back legs. She than flapped her butterfly shaped wings. She looked around. Right in front of her was a sleeping pony. Gemini looked at Pisces. She than walked away from the sleeping pony. Gemini looked around seeing Taurus lying near them. Gemini pranced over to the cream colored pony. She slowed down when she saw that he was sleeping. Looking around Gemini saw that all the other ponies were sleeping too. Gemini sat down, looking bored. She wanted someone to be up so she could play. Gemini looked around once more, she noticed Aquarius lying next to Scorpio. Aquarius had spread her wings wide in her sleep. Gemini looked at Aquarius's blue wings than looked at her own. She flapped them in thought. Gemini than looked over where Virgo was sleeping next to Es and Ari. Virgo was shifting in her sleeping, opening and closing her wings.
Gemini stood looking between the two Pegasus ponies, looking at their wings. Gemini flapped her wings, nothing happen. She flapped them harder and harder. Soon she couldn't feel the dirt under her feet. She looked down and smiled to herself. She flapped them even harder, rising upward. Gemini was looking down, watching the ground fall away from her; she wasn't paying attention to what was above her. She hit a branch with a thud. The impact was enough to snap her out of her consideration of flapping her wings. She fell through the air toward the ground.
"Ahh!" She shrieked as she fell.
Taurus raised his head a bit, hearing someone yelling. Before he could even wake up all the way something landed on him.
"Oaf." The air in his lungs left him. As it did so he kicked out with a hind foot.
Pisces woke with a start when Taurus kicked her. She jerked awake and looked at him. What ever she had been about to say to him left her when she saw Gemini lying across his back in a heap.
"Gemini? What…what? Taurus, you okay?" Pisces asked looking at them. She got to her knees and turned toward them.
"I think so." Taurus said breathless. He was trying to get his breath back. He turned his head and looked at Gemini, who was still lying across his back.
Gemini looked at him and than at Pisces; she didn't like how they were looking at her.
"Gemini, what happen?" Taurus asked, finally got his breath back.
"Flying." Gemini answered in one word.
"Flying?" Pisces and Taurus shared a look. Gemini didn't know how to fly. She was still a little young for it.
"Where did you fly?" Pisces asked.
Gemini pointed a hoof upward. The two older ponies looked up. They saw a branch right above them. They then looked back at Gemini. She had a small bump forming on the back of her head.
"You flew up there?" Pisces pointed, Gemini nodded, "hit your head didn't you?" another nod, "and fell down and landed on Taurus." Again another nod.
"You shouldn't be flying. You could really hurt yourself." Taurus said.
Gemini looked down as tears started to form in her eyes.
"It's alright. You're fine." Pisces reached over and pulled Gemini off Taurus's back. She cuddled the little pony in her arms.
Taurus got to his feet and stretched. He looked around finally noticing that the sun was up. He was looking around when he remembered something.
"Pisces are you okay from the kick I gave you?" he asked worriedly.
"I'm fine. Nothing to worry about." She was putting Gemini down and standing up herself.
"You sure?" he asked.
"Yes I'm sure." She answered back.
"Sure of what?" a voice asked around a yawn.
Pisces and Taurus looked over to see Scorpio and Aquarius waking up. A noise behind them told them that the others were waking up as well.
"Taurus accidentally kicked me when Gemini landed on him. Nothing to worry about." Pisces said quickly.
"Good thing we're not in the week before or after a solstice." Scorpio said stretching.
Taurus and Pisces knew what Scorpio was saying, Pisces had been lucky. If Taurus had kicked out like that during the week before or after a solstice, Pisces would have been seriously hurt. In the week leading up to a solstice and the week after it they all had weird powers. Taurus had super strength. Pisces could breathe under water. Scorpio's power was that of ice. She could turn anything to ice with a touch. Aquarius could read the minds of other ponies around her with her power. Virgo could hear sounds from far away. Ari was filled with boundless energy while Es could breathe fire.
Gemini's power had yet to be seen. She was still young enough not to have to worry about it. Although the others were just waiting to see what would happen.
"Well the sun's up. I think we should get moving." Scorpio said looking up at the sky.
The other nodded and started to follow her through the forest. Pisces kept an eye on Gemini, who had gotten over her scare. The littlest pony of their group had a tendency to get into trouble. Aquarius looked at the little Flutter pony as well. Gemini was opening and closing her wings as she walked.
"What happen this morning?" Aquarius asked in her soft voice.
"Oh Gemini decided to try out her wings for the first time." Pisces looked at her friend. It always amazed her that Aquarius could see just fine with eyes that looked like jewels.
"Maybe we should start teaching her how to fly." Virgo came up to Pisces on her other side.
"You want to chase her through the sky as well as on the ground?" Pisces turned to look at the green pony.
"Oh good point but sooner or later she'll have to learn." Virgo pointed out.
"I know. Gemini, stay with us." Pisces called to the young pony. Gemini had been ready to follow a butterfly through some bushes.
"I know! I'll take her with me as I go flying. That way she can see how wings really work when you're flying." Virgo looked quite pleased with her self about this idea.
"Not a bad idea. But Aquarius could you go with them? Just to make sure nothing happens?" Pisces said.
"Of course. Gemini come here." Aquarius said going over to the girl.
"I'll go tell Scorpio that we're going up to start scouting. We need to keep a look out for things." Virgo rushed past Pisces and head toward Scorpio.
"Scorpio! Me and Aquarius are going to flew about. We'll keep a look out for anyone following us." Virgo said as she walked next to the yellow unicorn.
"Good idea." She turned to look over at the twins. "Ari why don't you go with them. You haven't flown in a while."
"Okay." Ari said softly. She didn't want to leave her sister but knew that Scorpio was right. She hadn't flown in a while and need to stretch her wings with real flight.
The three Pegasus, one with a little Flutter pony hanging on, flew above the trees. They flew about looking back the way they had come and the way they were going.
Meanwhile…….
A pony with flaming red hair and a brown body looked out over a huge forest. He could see birds flying in the distance, far away.
"Where did they go? I know they are in there some where. I'll find them. And when I do they'll be mine." He snarled. He nodded his head to the ponies around him. The ponies that were standing around him moved down the hill and into the trees.
"Lord Rooster, if we go in there we might never find them." One pony said.
"Do not question me. I will have them and when I have them in my grasp their powers will be mine." Lord Rooster snapped.
The pony who had spoken to him nodded once and then followed the others. Rooster was brown in the body and a flame red in the hair. His hip mark was a red rooster. On his left front hoof he wore a hoof bracelet. It had 5 colored stones set in it. It had room for seven more.
He looked over the forest once more, seeing three birds flying above the trees deep from with in the forest. He knew that somewhere in there he would find the group he was searching for. He followed the ponies he had ordered into the forest not knowing that the three birds he saw so far away, deep into the forest over the trees, were three Pegasus who where on the look out for him.
