//------------------------------// // The Kajillion Mile High Door! // Story: What Once Was Old, Is Young Again. // by Adorkable //------------------------------// “Push! Flutters that isn’t pushing, it’s punching!” Dash screamed out loudly to the group of small ponies trying to get the door open. Flutters just banging on the door wildly as Dash did her best to correct her, the white unicorn barely pressing clean cream like hooves against the door making dainty sounds of effort. Twily gave a whimper as she pressed her head against the large crystal door, pushing as hard as she could to no avail. “You! The marshmallow!” Dash galloped over in anger, her violet hues narrowing to the frightened filly. “It’s...It’s...Rarity...ma’am.” Rarity spoke shivering wildly in place, her violet mane cascading over her large blue eyes shyly. “Well Scarity! Put those hind hooves into pushing!” Dash yelled out at the top of her lungs in anger, Rarity’s lower lip pouting sweetly. “Wahhhhhhhh!” Rarity simply curled into a small ball sobbing loudly. “Stop crying you marshmallow!” Dash swiftly spoke up in annoyance. “What’s happening?” Twily walked over to check on the ponies, her small violet hoof petting Rarity’s mane. “Da...Da...shhhh! Called me a Marshmallow!” Rarity quickly clung onto Twily for protection as she buried her small muzzle into her coat. “I’m not sorry either!” Dash gave a small snort and galloped over towards Flutters, her eyes filled with disappointment. Twily gave a gentle sigh as the small white filly continued to sob, her melodramatic whimpers filling the air around them. Twily just knew if this kept up that they would be stuck here forever, she had to find a way to make them work as one. “Hey weirdo!” Dash spoke up in a sassy tone to Flutters, the tall yellow pegasus gazing over to her in curiosity. “Yeah?” Flutters replied her ears twitching every which way, large turquoise eyes full of energy and the unknown. “You think you could use your freakishly tall body to hit that thing?” Dash asked with a flaunt of the hoof, pointing to the door lock which was set into place. “I could! But the real reason is why would I!?” Flutters softly ran in place her hooves clicking on the floor in excitement. “Because I think that thing-a-doodle is what’s keeping us in here.” Dash gave an eye roll. “I’ma not following?” Flutters gave a shrug as she lifted a hind hoof and scratched her ear from behind. “We could use it to escape…” “Mmmhmm!” “To leave…” “Uh-huh!” “Press that button dufus and we can eat cookies!” Dash finally broke down, screaming at the top of her lungs to the yellow filly as her small hooves waved in the air wildly. “COOK-DINGOS!? OH MER GER!” Flutters gave a battle cry like a warrior, quickly running and smashing head first into the large door with a thud. Across the room Rarity let her ears pin back in sorrow, slowly lowering onto Twily’s lap as the small filly cradled her, trying her best to comfort her. A blur of a yellow pegasus slowly climbing up the door in the background, hooves somehow sticking to the surface. “I’m a nopony. Just a soft marshmallow.” Rarity gave a groan and looked away from the group of ponies. “You don’t need to feel so icky! Dash is just a wooly-bully!” Twily spoke in a soft and caring tone. “Maybe. But she’s right, I feel so scared right now. I just want my mommy to pick me up and tell me all will be okies.” Rarity sniffed and let the tears flow down her cheeks. “Hmmm. You know I think being a marshmallow is super cute!” Twily let her ears perk up as she gave a small giggle. “You making fun of me too?” Rarity felt her lower lip quiver in place. “Nope-nope! Marshmallows are cute! They are sweet,soft and everypony loves them!” Twily gave a small wink to the filly in her lap. “Really?” “Yeppers! Plus marshmallows are re-silly-ient, they can take anything because they are stronger than anypony thinks they are!” Twily burst into giggles from the thought as Rarity lifted up slowly, confidence filling her dark blue eyes. “You...you’re right!” Rarity stood tall as she wiped the tears from her eyes. “Mmmhmm! Everything will be okies.” Twily softly gave a whisper to her new friend, Rarity smiling happily as she wrapped hooves around her in a big hug. Back across the room a small yellow pegasus clung to the door tightly, having climbed as far as she could above the door knob, her delicate small hoof outreaching for the lock. As hard as she did try to swipe it, the little filly was just out of reach. “Just hit the darn thing!” Dash was growling annoyed to Flutters, her violet eyes narrowing. “I’MA TRYING! I JUST CAN’TS REACH! IT’S LIKE A KAJILLION MILES AWAY!” Flutters screamed out loudly, her small hoof just barely missing the lock on her latest swipe. “A KAJILLION! That’s like in outside space!” Pinkie gave a dramatic gasp, her cute pink hooves covering her muzzle in horror. “Shwee wonna wall, Wutters wet won wum where!” Wapples worriedly spoke up, hoping the yellow filly did not fall to her doom. “You hear mushmouth?! She said you are too dumb to swipe a lock!” Dash gave a devilish grin up the door, Wapples glaring to her in anger. “WI wid wot!” Wapples pouted in place with a look of worry. “WAPPLES SAID THAT!? GRRRR! IMA COMING COOK-DINGOS!” Flutters started to growl as she lunged upward, small hooves slapping the lock open in a swift strike. “Yeah! I...IMA FALLING A KAJILLION MILES!” Flutters gave a shrill scream and plummeted down to the floor, every filly gasping aloud in shock. “No! I wuv you!” Pinkie quickly tugged on Dash’s rainbow mane hard, quickly slinging the laughing filly to the side with a surprising amount of force. The pink ball of fluff sliding in almost slow motion under the yellow pegasus, just as she came crashing down atop her in a loud thud breaking the large fall. “Oomph! You saved me pink-stuff!” Flutters gave a small gasp of delight, looking down to the small pink filly she was sitting upon. “Of course I did, you’re my friend! I’d break your fall even if it was from two kajillion miles.” Pinkie weakly gave a sweet smile, the two dusting off before sharing a soft hug. “Grrr! Enough mushy stuff!” Dash gave an eye roll, holding to the back of her head before walking over to the door. “Open sez me! Hi-ya!” The blue bully lifted onto her hind hooves, karate chopping the door as it swung open with ease. “WOOOOW!” Everypony said in unison, eyes as large as moons. “Yep! Now the quest begins!” Dash did a sassy flip with her long rainbow mane. “What west?” Wapples scrunched her muzzle up cutely. “The Quest For Cookies!” Dash gave a wicked smirk, each pony knowing this was going to be one wild ride.
