Twilight Sparkle's POV
I stare over the shimmering water at the other hill. I can make out a crowd but no clear faces. I grumble in frustration at my eyesight for the hundredth time today. The pre-dawn light marks the third day I've been on this stupid hill. The Pegasi are trying their best to bring food and supplies to the crowds, but they needed rest too. Both Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy have been either flying or sleeping. I watch the sun rise, probably the most interesting thing that will happen all day.
*OMG IT'S A TIME SKIP*
I hear a booming crackle come from the other hill mid-afternoon. The mayor's voice sluggishly crawls to our 'island'. "Attention Citizens of Ponyville: The Pegasi have found an efficient way to drain the water from our town, please prepare to return to your homes." With that,the announcement ended.
Sure enough the water level began to drop and ponies begin to disperse into their homes. I trot down the soggy street to the library. I flinch at the sight.
A hoof-deep puddle of water wraps around my legs as I open the door. The majority of the books are just fine, but the unlucky lower level novels are dripping wet. I stomp my hoof. "Spike, get some fans," I grumble.
After setting up some complex cord rigging I enter Pinkie Pie's home. "Hello?" I ask tentatively. I hear an exited chirp and a splash. I make my way to the source of the noise, the basement, or what should have been the basement. Water fills the space up to the stairs.
Suddenly, Pinkie Pie's face emerges from the water sending a spray of liquid in every direction. "What are you doing?" I ask shaking off the droplets of water.
Pinkie smiles. "I'm trying to get stuff outta here; wanna help me?" she asks cheerfully.
I sigh. "Alright," I say carefully stepping belly-deep into water. I take another step, plugging into freezing, murky stuff. I make out a flash of Pinkie's brightly colored tail and I follow her. It takes me a moment to locate her; as soon as I do she gestures me over. She grasps a large bin between her teeth, I grab the other end. To my surprise it is very heavy, and it takes quite a struggle to get it to the surface. When we do I sprawl out onto the tile floor gasping for air. Pinkie begins chattering away immediately.
She opens the bin and lays out its contents "Thanks for helping me Twilight. Can you believe how fun that was? It's like I have my own personal swimming pool! I wonder if the others have their own swimming pools,"
I jump.
I nearly forgot I wanted to track down Applejack. "Sorry Pinkie, I have to go. Can you manage on your own?" I ask.
She gives a bubbly smile. "I'll come with you." She leaps up and joins me.
I trot out into street, nearly crashing into Apple Bloom. She grins. "Howdy, Twilight," she says. taking a clumsy step backward.
"Hi Apple Bloom, have you seen your sister?" I ask calmly, despite the crawling feeling that's sat in my chest since for the past couple days.
"Ah, haven't seen her. Ah think she's helping one of you," she says, looking up at me curiously.
"Thanks," I reply coolly. As soon as I trot to the end of the block and turn the corner my panic flares. "Pinkie! We need to find the others, NOW!" I say in full freak-out mode.
"Why?" she asks nervousness clouding her sheer blue eyes.
"Something's wrong."cument here...
