Chapter 4: Threes Company
''Fluttershy, you mean to tell us that you, the quietest pony I know, want to cross the sea?'' Rainbow Dash circled above her and Shimmer Star.
''Even I wouldn't think of going out there, ya'll could get hurt real bad.'' Said Applejack.
''And that salty air just ruins your mane!'' Rarity exclaimed.
Shimmer and Fluttershy had gathered everypony at her home to tell them about their plans to find Silver Moon. Everypony was in an uproar, they didn't think Fluttershy could handle it.
''Has anypony here actually crossed the sea before?'' Shimmer stood up and looked over everyponies' faces. When no one answered he continued. ''I didn't think so. So if none of you actually know anything about it, how can you say crossing the sea is so terrible?''
''Well, I agree with Shimmer, I think it's a great idea. It's also the only way we're going to find Silver Moon.'' Twilight Sparkle stood beside Shimmer and Fluttershy. ''That's why I'm coming with you guys.''
''Thank you Twilight, but I don't want to put anypony in danger.'' Shimmer said. Twilight shook her head.
''Hey, my magic could come in handy, and I've always wanted to see what's across the water.'' Twilight smiled as she gazed at the docks.
''Well, I guess that's that, we'll leave as soon as we're ready.'' Shimmer walked up to a room that Fluttershy had set up for him. And there he stayed until Fluttershy called for him.
'' Shimmer, we're ready, come on were going to the dock.'' Shimmer walked down and put on a dark brown vest with four pockets. He nodded to Fluttershy and the walked out the door, headed to the docks.
