The five ponies in the hotel all woke up at the same time, due to a large thunderclap. After another breakfast of Pinkie Pie's junk food, they all sat and watched the rain. Suddenly, Applejack asked, "Um, Rainbow Dash? If you're so jealous of Twilight and that colt, then why did you start this storm?"
"What makes you think I started it?" Rainbow Dash asked.
"Well," Applejack answered. "Only pegasi can control the weather. And the only other pegasus on the beach is Fluttershy."
"Well," Rainbow Dash said, turning to the yellow Pegasus. "I didn't start it."
"Okay." Fluttershy said. "I admit it. I started the hurricane."
"YOU WHAT?" Rainbow Dash screeched.
Fluttershy curled up into a ball and whimpered, "Well, they looked so happy together, so I flew out over the ocean, made the storm, and sent it this way. I never thought it'd get this big. It must have picked up some other clouds on its way here."
"So," Rainbow Dash said, startlingly calm. "You started this storm because you thought they were happy together?"
"Well," Fluttershy said. "I just wanted Twilight to be happy, I mean, the Princess said she couldn't read books when she was on vacation, so I wanted to give her something to do."
"Now, Rainbow Dash," Applejack said. "Why don't you just fly up there and stop the storm, if you're so upset?"
"It's too big to stop!" Rainbow Dash said, laying down on the bed, burying her face in her pillow. Her shoulder started shaking.
"Now, darling," Rarity said, placing her hoofs on Rainbow Dash's shoulders. "There's no need to cry. You can't change that colt's feelings. He would have liked Twilight even if this hurricane never happened."
Rainbow Dash sat up. She wiped her tears away with her hood, then said, "That's not the problem. I know that he would have liked Twilight, we've gone over this. It's just the fact that they're alone. Who knows what they're doing in the surf shop right now?" Rainbow Dash's eye got wide. "They could be -" She didn't finish her sentence.
"Now, Sugarcube," Applejack said. "Twilight's a smart pony, she wouldn't do that unless she married him, and I doubt they've gotten married in a surf shop."
"You don't know!" Rainbow Dash screeched. "Twilight's probably never had a coltfriend since the day she was born! She's probably desperate!"
"Oh, Dashie," Pinkie Pie said. "You know Twilight. She wouldn't do that."
"She might." Rainbow Dash said. "And that's what I'm worried about!"
This went on for hours.
Back in the surf shop, the same thunderclap woke up Jake and Twilight. As Jake wiped up a little bit of water that had flooded over the night, Twilight went and watched the sea as she had done the night before. To her left, Jake said, "It's beautiful, isn't it?"
Twilight jumped. "You scared me." She said. "But yes, I agree, it is beautiful."
Jake placed his hoof on Twilight's. A tingle shot up the unicorn's spine. "You know," He said. "You are, too." Twilight's face turned the brightest red it had ever been. Jake kissed her. Twilight didn't know what to do at first, but she closed her eyes and wrapped her arms around the Earth Pony. After a minute or so, Jake pulled away and said, "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done that."
"You're right." Twilight said. "You should have done it sooner." They kissed again. Longer this time, more passionately. They got off of the couch and onto the ground. Long story short, Rainbow Dash's fears didn't come true. But they did lay on the ground kissing each other for a long while.
Jake stood up and said, "This won't work out, will it?"
"What do you mean?" Twilight asked.
"Well," He answered. "You live in Ponyville. That's on the other side of Equestria. My family worries too much. Right now, they probably think I've drowned. If I moved to Ponyville, then they'd worry too much, and probably move with me. Not only that, but I have two extremely old grandparents. They won't survive the trip."
"I can still come and visit." Twilight said.
"No," Jake said. "You can't. Princess Celestia sent you to Ponyville for a reason. If you go against it and come here all the time, she probably wouldn't like it."
"But, Jake -"
"No buts. In four days, when you leave, we probably won't see each other again." Seeing the dejected look on the unicorn's face, Jake added, "But that doesn't mean we can't make the most out of today." They started kissing again. "See me at midnight the night you leave." He said.
Turns out, Twilight was the one who wanted to go farther, but Jake said no. "I don't want to make that much of a commitment." He said. "I would if you were staying longer."
By noon, the hurricane had died down to a minor rainstorm. The other five ponies went out to the surf shop to see if Jake and Twilight were there. They were. When Rainbow Dash knocked on the door, Jake, with a messed up mane and tail, answered the door. Due to the colt's frazzled appearance, Rainbow Dash believed that her fears had indeed been fulfilled, and she flew away into the sky.
"I'll get her." Fluttershy said, taking off after Rainbow Dash.
"Hey." Jake said. "How are you guys doing?"
"We're doing fine." Applejack said. "Is Twilight here?"
"Yes," Jake said. "Yes she is." He walked into the shop. After a minute or so, he walked back out with Twilight.
"Hey, you guys!" Twilight said, enveloping them in a big hug. "Wait, where are Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy?"
"I'll explain later, Sugarcube." Applejack said. "We have to get you back to the hotel. That mane of yours is full up of wet sand. You need a shower."
"I know." She said, looking back at Jake. "Just - give me a minute." She and Jake walked back into the shop. After a minute or two, Twilight walked back out, her bathing suit hovering in front of her due to magic. "Okay." She said. "I'm ready, let's go."
When they got back to the hotel, they found Fluttershy standing next to a bed upon which Rainbow Dash was laying, her arms, legs, feet, and wings tied securely to her body. "How did you do that?" Rarity asked.
"Oh, that?" Fluttershy said. "That's just a little trick that you use on bears, eagles, and other big animals if they're being aggressive. It helps to calm them down."
"I'm sure it does." Rarity said.
Then Fluttershy saw Twilight. She flew over to Twilight in the blink of an eye, wrapping her arms around the purple unicorn. Fluttershy said, "Oh, I'm so glad you're back."
"Me - too." Twilight gasped "I - can't - breathe."
Fluttershy let go. Twilight crumpled to the ground, gasping for breath. "Oh, I'm sorry." Fluttershy said. "I was worried. I thought you were dead."
"Thanks for your concern." Twilight said. "I need some sleep. I had to go to bed on the floor last night. Good night, everybody." Twilight climbed into bed. Fluttershy dragged Rainbow Dash out of the room as the other three ponies followed. The five spent the rest of the day at the beach, while Twilight lay in bed, dreaming of an impossible future with Jake.
