Ch. 3:The Tomboy Dodo

Sweetie Belle continued to look over her river of tears. She sighed in sadness while the bottle was still set adrift.

"Are you okay?" asked a nearby, tomboyish voice.

Sweetie Belle gave a surprised look as she looked to her left and saw, floating near her, was a small, female, orange Dodo.

"Um, hello?" said Sweetie shyly.

"What's a wallflower like you doing out in this ocean?" asked the dodo.

"I'm trying to find a rabbit."

The dodo looked bewildered at this, "Kid, you won't find a rabbit until you hit dry land."

"Well, did you at least see a rabbit?" Sweetie Belle asked, "He's white and is dressed in a tuxedo; carrying a pocket watch."

"Can't say that I have." shrugged the dodo.

Sweetie groans in disbelief, "Great, now Fluttershy will have a cow!"

"Who's Fluttershy?"

"A friend of mine who owns that rabbit."

"If I could fly, I would take you to dry land," said the dodo, "but alas, I'm a flightless bird."

"You know, you kinda remind me of my friend, Scootaloo," Sweetie Belle said, "She always wondered what it is like to fly like a bird."

"Does she have wings?" asked the dodo.

"No,"

"Well then, too bad for her."

Sweetie saw a bunch of creatures on a race track with cactus's in the in the grassy part of the track.

"What's going on there?" asked Sweetie Belle as she pointed to the track.

"The cactus race," said the dodo, "Where a bunch of guys rally up and race to their hearts content."

"Is there an award for the winner?"

"Here, the winner creates his own reward."

"Oh,"

Suddenly, land showed up out of nowhere.

"Look, dry land," the dodo pointed, "Maybe your rabbit went in that direction.

Sweetie peered through the glass in the bottle and saw a familiar, attire-dressed bunny hopping along the path.

"Or is going down that path!" Sweetie Belle exclaimed, "You have to help me!"

"Can do," said the dodo confidently.

With a rope tied to the opening of the bottle and the other end tied around the dodo's neck, Sweetie Belle's speed to shore accelerated. Pretty soon, they landed on shore and Sweetie Belle got out of her bottle.

"Thank you," said Sweetie Belle to the dodo as she chased Angel.

"No problem, kid," said the dodo.

Sweetie Belle ran until she saw angel running through the forest.

"There you are." she whispered

She ran to Angel's direction, but she couldn't find him anywhere.

"How elusive can 1 little bunny be?!" Sweetie Belle exclaimed in frustration.

She then began searching for the rabbit again.
