Escape to Paradise

Night mares

Rainbow Dash and Neutral slept together in the same bed. It was the first Neutral slept in a bed and with a beautiful mare in his eyes, but Rainbow had nightmares from when Neutral talked about his world.

In her dream she saw Princess Celestia taking away all the ponies with no wings and unicorns; her royal guards forcing them to move faster while being chained up together. Somehow she couldn't fly so she ran to her friends over by the barn. The whole ranch was on fire; her friend was being stomped to death by the royal guards. She yelled out, "Applejack!" but all she could do was watch; she couldn't move or nothing. The rest of Applejacks family, her grandma was killed, her older brother was tied and whipped, and her younger sister chained and pulled out like the others. Her dream suddenly changed to Pinkie Pie, the guards took chains to her neck and flew up with Pinkie Pie being hung in mid air. Once she's gone they dropped her body and left her there; Rainbow Dash walked up to her and Pinkie Pie's eyes looked at Rainbow Dash's movement. "Pinkie Pie are you really-," she tried to say it but can't.

"We had fun when I flew with them. It felt like I just popped," Pinkie Pie suddenly said with a smile.

Rainbow Dash couldn't believe her eyes after what she said. Princess Celestia walked beside Rainbow Dash, "Look at what we're doing to Equestria. Finally we're getting rid of these weak ponies," she said with an evil smirk.

Rainbow Dash was scared to death, "They did nothing to you though?"

Celestia backed hoofed her, "The non believers won't be sent to the moon like my sister; no they shall be sent to the sun," she smiled as big as she can and Rainbow Dash was launched into the sun. She then heading into a whirl wind where she was surround by a flash of black and white.

A familiar voice began speaking out of nowhere, "This is why I left my world," Rainbow tries to locate the sound in the whirl wind. "Because we are different," a demonic pony came out from the whirl wind and went straight to her.

She woke up yelling and looking around the hotel suite and right by her was the once sleeping Neutral have been woken by Rainbow, "Rainbow what's wrong?" He asked.

She hugged Neutral crying, "Applejack and her family, Pinkie Pie, Princess Celestia, sun, and-," she briefly said crying harder. "Neutral," she trying to hold her cries back.

"Yes what is?" He said wanting to help her.

"Take me to Applejacks," she demanded.

Neutral looked outside and the sun just now rose, "If you think these nightmares will stop will go and see her," he said as her eye lit up to his kindness.

The two flyers flew across the early morning to Applejacks ranch; surprisingly she was up and picking apples. Rainbow flew toward her knocking them to the ground with her hugging her tightly, "What in tarnation is your problem Rainbow Dash?" She said confused.

"Applejack I'm so glad you're still here!" She said still hugging her.

Applejack looked surprised, "Of course sugar cube. What here happened?" Rainbow Dash let go and Applejack just noticed the near invisible Neutral Dash in the shadows, "What are ya staring at. Wait didn't you and Rainbow Dash did that blast?" She questioned him.

Neutral dug his hoof in the ground and looked up, "Yes why do you want to know?"

"It blew away half of Ponyville away. Even mah apples," she said surprisingly, "Not literally but almost."

Rainbow Dash blush what she's going to say, "Listen Applejack don't get mad but me and Neutral are-; well we kind of," she struggled with her words.

"You are going out aren't ya? Why should I be mad? I'm happy for ya Rainbow but I'm watching this fellor here," she said turning her head to Neutral.

"He's cool really; he's just a bit quiet. Pinkie Pie I forgot about her!" She said and flew off.

"Neutral come'ere for a moment," Applejack called out as he walked to her. "If you do anything to hurt Rainbow Dash I'll make your life turn upside down. Got it?" Applejack snapped at him.

"Um sure. I need to catch up to Rainbow," he said and followed her.

"Pinkie Pie wake up!" Rainbow Dash said banging on the second story window of the bakery.

Pinkie Pie opened the window of her room. Her eyes had heavy dark circles under them and a small toothless alligator by her side. "What's wrong?" She said half awake.

"I just want to make sure you weren't hung up or nothing," she said both relieved and disappointed.

"I'm busy making dreams, what's so important that couldn't wait tomorrow. You know this is what happens when I party too much," she said about to fall asleep. Neutral just now flew in to see the conversation.

"Well me and my close friend are going to leave with the Wonder bolts and hoping you could throw a good bye party for us," Rainbow Dash cleverly grinned.

The sleepy pony suddenly turn to a hyperactive one, "Yay you actually did it Rainbow Dash you did it! How?" She asked.

"Did you feel that boom yesterday?" Rainbow Dash smiled.

"Oh my yes I felt alright it. It was all like boom and then it was like a huge mondo fan blew over us it was crazy!" Pinkie Pie said in awe.

"I'll tell you when you get the party started okay?" Rainbow Dash said.

"Okay," they both left her and headed up to their suite, "I can't sleep now. I'll go make cupcakes," Pinkie Pie said humming away.

"Hey Neutral," said Rainbow.

"Yeah," he replied.

"Thanks for helping me," she said smiling.

"No problem," he said giving a small grin.

"Hey try to smile every now and then alright. Don't be such a downer," she said giving a wink.

"I'll try," he said giving a small grin.

"Hey don't make me beat you until you smile," she smiled.

The next day at Ponyville where the Dash's flew to Twilights place. "Parties aren't your thing but please just pretend to have," Rainbow said.

They walked in and everypony said surprised to them; a banner above everypony was hung and said congratulations "Rainbow and Neutral."

Rainbow was happy but Neutral was shy. Twilight walked up to both of them, "Congratulations you two on making it to the Wonder bolts," she said. Rainbow was just excited everypony wanted to know how she did it and began to brag. Twilight looked at Neutral who backed up into a wall trying to hide himself, "Neutral what's wrong?" She asked.

"I don't like attention," he said as his voice was shaky.

"I'll get somepony to that might help with that problem," she said and went into the crowd. Moments later Twilight came back with a pink mane pony Fluttershy. "This is Fluttershy," she said as Fluttershy smiled.

"Hi Neutral Dash," she spoke soft. Twilight soon left them.

"Hi Fluttershy, um what's up?" He said trying to start a conversation.

"Twilight said you needed help and I certainly would help a friend," she said with a smile.

"What's to help?" He questioned her.

Fluttershy had turned her head back and forth, "Well it looks like you're in trouble and others are questioning you." She explained and Neutral saw some ponies giving eye contact to him. "Nopony is going to judge you I promise," she smiled softly.

Neutral growled and breathed in and out, "Fine I guess I'll join the party."

"Besides the other ponies wants to talk to you about the place once lived," she added.

"Who told you that?" He quickly turned to her.

"Rainbow said you lived a very long way from home and told me all the things that happened over there. I know why some hide things and should be left hidden," she looked down sadden.

"How much has she told you," he demanded.

"She said you were in some sort of war because of another country stole all your planes and used them too break the towers. Why would ponies do that to each other?" She explained as Neutral was relieved.

He thought about how these ponies minds were too innocent for his world and thought he should talk about the other things beside the bad ones. "Don't worry about it," Fluttershy looked up at the smiling pony, "It's all in the past now."
