But this time it was because it was raining I'm her mouth. Coughing and spitting she rolled off the bed and hit the floor. "Grluble gurble gloop!" Said Twilight. As she struggled to her feet and leaned against her new bed. Water uncomfortably squelched up into her sinuses as she tried to close her mouth. Quickly she swallowed four more cups of water, and gasped as best as one can gasp through waterlogged nostrils. It had come to Twilights attention that she could not breathe due to the large amount of rainwater in her mouth, she was also beginning to panic. Clumsily, she lurched around the room looking for something to stop the constant torrent of water streaming down her throat, and happened across a pen. She stared down at the pen, dreadfully remembering the movie she had been watching when she fell asleep last night. Saw V. But then she remembered, she had a water breathing spell in her library. She half ran, half fell down the stairs and ran smack into the door. Then she remembered, she hadn't lived in a library for five years. She lay on the floor glubbing and blubbing. Her gaze slowly drifted to the pen that had mysteriously followed her down the stairs. She managed to inch her way over to the pen and picked it up. For a moment she sat there glaring intently at the plastic green tube, as though she was daring it to make a move. She passed out. Twilight awoke to the rain in her mouth. She was breathing through her nose. As she opened her eyes she began to see blurry, multicolored shapes spinning around her. She shook her head and blinked in a way to greet the shapes and further invite them to focus into vision. They did. One of them said, "Sugar? You awake?" Twilight tried to respond to the incredibly in focus Apple Jack by loudly saying, "Flllllllllfffffft..." as more water squirted out of her mouth. "Eww!" said the other shape more commonly known as Pinkie Pie. "What's with all the water? Ooh! Is it a curse? I looooooooove curses! They can be so interesting and..." Apple Jack silenced her. "Are you at all clear on what's going on here?" She said. Twilight raised her head off the floor a few inches and sadly shook it. "Good, neither are we. Now hows about we get you somewhere less, wet?" Twilight again, sadly nodded and stood shakily to her feet. Little ripples formed in the puddle around her feet and sprinted to the other side of the room and then came back. After the ripples got tired of their petty competition, Twilight started for the door and more ripples joined their company. The sun shone brightly, reflecting beautifully as a rainbow in the mist of the waterfall pouring out of her mouth. As they made their way across town, many ponies watched the now incredibly red faced Twilight. For around fifteen minuets it seemed like the entirety of Ponyville did a double take. Some stared, some giggled, and some straight up ran. The glaring seemed to last forever until they finally reached the edge of the everfree forest. "Are you sure that Zecora will be able to help her?" Asked Rarity. Apple Jack remained silent as they began to pass trees. Seconds began to drag into minutes without another word. "Ahh... I can't help notice that you're not answering me..." Rarity began but was interrupted by Apple Jack. "I don't know, I just don't know!" Twilight sighed and burbled. Pinkie seemed to have engrossed herself in watching the small stream, bouncing her bouncy walk about four feet behind them. She closed her eyes. This had been a rough day. And seeing the small pool of water forming in front of Zecoras house didn't help. > It's raining in her mouth too! > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "It's raining in her mouth too!" Said Pinkie as they entered the house. Zecora, or what was left of her, was laying on the floor in the middle of the room. The body was swollen and soggy covering about two times more space than it normally would. Apple Jacks face went white. "You... you think she's... Dead?" She asked... stupidly. Twilight reared. In terror, she ran out of the house, jumped over a bush, and ran straight into a tree. Her last thoughts before she passed out was, "Oh shit, not this again." She woke up again, this time under the tree she hit. The shapes took a much shorter time to focus this time, she guessed that she was getting better at this thing with practice. "Twiiiiligt!" Whined Pinkies voice. "You can't just pass out frequently just because it's an easy plot device that moves time along without transitions or segways or development." Twilight sat up. "See! Were still in the same place! He's not going to let us do that again! Actually DO something!" Twilight groaned. Pinkie was right. She stood up and noticed that Rainbow Dash had joined them. "Hey. Sorry. I just noticed that you guys were hanging out over here and I just noticed that... Is that water?" Twilight looked down. The constant stream hadn't stopped and showed no sign of stopping. "Yeah, don't know why, but she's been squirting ever since she woke up", said Apple Jack. Pinkie snickered. Fluttershy gave her a look of disapproval, then snickered herself. Rainbow Dash whacked Pinkie and Fluttershy lightly on the head and they both snapped to attention. Rainbow Dash snickered. Twilight looked at the small crowd that had gathered around her, and started to cry. She was beginning to feel hopeless. Her friends looked back at her uncomfortably. "Should we do something?" Pinkie asked. Rainbow Dash awkwardly flapped over to her and clumsily patted her on the back. "There, there you'll be uhh... fine?" Rainbow Dash stopped. Apple Jack walked over. "Uhh.. lets go girls, I think Twilight needs to get some rest. One by one they began to turn back down the road. Twilight wasn't moving. Rainbow Dash rolled her eyes and lifted twilight by the arms and flew after them. When Rainbow Dash arrived at the castle she plopped her down and turned to speak to her. "Look, Twilight. I know this is like, a weird question but, do you think that water's... potable? Twilight shrugged, then hesitantly nodded her head. Rainbow's face lit up. "Great! I've been dying for a drink since Z's house!" and to Twilight's utter shock, Dash bent down and started drinking. Twilight stood there silently as Rainbow Dash lapped at the small pool and eventually finished. "Thanks!" she said and without another word, flew off. She watched as Rainbow Dash grew smaller, and smaller until she disappeared over the horizon. She turned and headed up the stairs to her room. When Twilight reached her bed she stopped for a moment. Something was caught in her throat. She coughed, water flew every where, she coughed again, once again water flew everywhere. She continued coughing and choking until suddenly a tiny cloud flew out. The water stopped, and the raining ceased. Twilight was stunned, and, despite how poor it made the writing quality, fainted once again. > Water > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- By the way the water was not potable and Rainbow Dash had a heart attack the next day.
