"So, I have to ask. How did you survive that gunshot?" Twilight asked as we headed into the forest. "Well, the material I had Rarity make my tux out of is the material we use for our sword cases. It's a combination of leather, shark skin, and Kevlar. It's bulletproof, fire retardant, and cut resistant." I said. Fluttershy gasped. "Oh, those poor sharks. How could you?" She asked. "Don't worry Fluttershy, we only use the skin from sharks that have died from natural causes. The CF never hurt animals." I replied. "Oh, well that's fine then." She said. We walked in silence for a few minutes until there was a rustling in the bushes behind us. It quickly moved to in front of us. Out of the brush, a large brown blur flew past and landed in front of us. A huge wolf made of wood was standing there blocking our path. It opened its mouth and a horrid smell came out. "Rawr!" It growled. I wasn't in the mood for this crap. I walked up to it and stuck my face up to its muzzle. "RAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!" I growled at the top of my lungs. It hunkered down and tucked its stick of a tail between its legs before retreating to the bush it had jumped out of. The others just looked at me. "What?" I asked as I started to walk again. AJ came up to walk beside me. "How did you do that?" She asked. "It's one of the things they teach us in the academy. Any animal will back down if you assert your dominance." I replied. We continued on in silence. We came a chasm with a burning rope bridge.

"Well, now what?" AJ asked. "I'm not sure. But, there's good news. If this bridge is still burning, it means we're not late to the party." I said. "Party?!" Pinkie said. "Not that kind of party, Pinkie." I said. "We could always fly across and carry Pinkie, Rarity, and AJ." Twilight said. "Oh. Right." I replied, remembering my wings. "Sorry. It's hard to think knowing that Dash is somewhere right now possibly being hurt." I said. "That's alright. You take AJ, Fluttershy can take Rarity, and I'll carry Pinkie." Twilight said. I picked up AJ and lifted us off the ground. I got us over the chasm quickly and landed just as Twilight landed beside me. I looked back to Fluttershy swaying back and forth as she looked down into the chasm. Just as I was about to say something, they both dropped. Rarity screamed as she fell. I flew as fast as I could and caught them both just before they hit the ground. I joined the others on the grass above. Rarity hugged me again. "Thank you. Thank you. Thank you." She said. Fluttershy stood up wearily. "I'm sorry, Rarity. I just couldn't support both of us." Fluttershy said. "It's okay, darling. Next time though, just tell us if you can't do it. We won't judge you. We know you're no the bravest when it comes to heights." Rarity said. There was a crash from the castle ruins behind us.
