Chapter 3: Pie-flavored Peace

A single blow can sway the leaves, yet a single word can save a life.

A cool, valley breeze filled the air as the confident eight moved along. As Twilight struggles to find their location on the map, Rainbow Dash flies overhead Axel and Applejack, who are lost in each other. “Aw, but yer th’ sweet one...” Applejack and Axel were playfully arguing about who is better, which made Rainbow feel sick, forcing her to fly ahead to Twilight and the others.
“Where exactly are we going!?” said the cyan pegasus.
“I’m working on it- huh?” Twilight was interrupted as she heard the excited shriek of Pinkie Pie, rolling down a nearby hill.
“Pinkie, we have to stick together! It would be most convenient if we keep track of one another.” Rarity gawks at Pinkie.
“Awww, don’t be a strict-frowny-faced-stick-in-the-mud! You gotta cheer up Missy!” Pinkie Pie giggled and picked up speed down the hill.
“Um, Pinkie, Rarity is right here... not to be rude, but we don’t wanna-” Fluttershy was obviously trying to keep the group together as well, but at this point Pinkie was long gone.
“Ugh, just great!” Rainbow exclaims as everyone heads off in Pinkie’s direction. Rainbow looks back to find Axel and Applejack, behind and still enjoying each other’s company. She backtracks to interrupt the couple in mid-kiss. “AHEM!? C’mon lovebirds...” Rainbow dragged Applejack away, leaving Axel to follow at a quick pace.
