CHAPTER 7: DESSERTED ISLAND
After a few years in Canterlot School of Gifted Unicorns, Appleshine starts enjoy her life inside the school, getting highest and full score every exams. Althrough Princess Bluetrix keeps on bugging her, she just doing her own things. Moon Beam keeps on by her side as they keeps on having the adventures.
One day, Appleshine and Moon Beam sit under the tree, laughing. Appleshine looks at 3 unicorns that walk towards the standby balloon.
"What are they planning to do?" asked Appleshine.
"No idea. Let's follow them," said Moon Beam.
Both anthros rush towards the standby balloon. The three unicorns look at the new coming anthro.
"Who are you?" asked Typhoon Dell, aqua blue unicorn with light green mane and tail.
"My name is Appleshine. Where are you guys going?" asked Appleshine.
"We just want to try the balloon," said Typhoon Dell.
"Sure. Let me ask the caretaker first," said Moon Beam as she rushes back.
Appleshine looks at the unicorns that climb inside the balloon.
"Guys, we should wait for an adult to help you," said Appleshine.
Typhoon Dell untied the rope that bound to the ground. Appleshine sighs as she leaps and bite the rope.
Moon Beam and her caretaker arrive and see the new flying balloon with Appleshine holding the rope. Moon Beam sighs as she spreads her wings.
"Inform my mother. I am going to chase them," said Moon Beam as she flies towards the balloon.
Appleshine climbs inside the balloon. Typhoon Dell looks at the anthro Earth pony.
"Why are you here? We didn't invite you," said Typhoon in snobbish way.
Appleshine chuckles.
"You're not the only one who like adventure," said Appleshine.
Moon Beam jumps in and lands beside Appleshine.
"What in the Tartarus are you thinking? There are rules for flying a balloon," said Moon Beam, angrily.
"We don't ask your opinion," said Typhoon.
Moon Beam growls in anger. Appleshine sighs.
"That's enough, Moon Beam," said Appleshine.
The pink unicorn with magenta mane and tail shocks.
"Moon Beam. As in Princess Moon Beam, daughter of Princess Luna?" asked Pinkamena Height.
Moon Beam smiles.
"The one and only," said Moon Beam.
Suddenly the huge tornado hits the balloon.
"Hold on tight, everypony!" yelled Appleshine as they hold into the balloon as it crashes into the ocean.
Back to the Canterlot, Taichi looks at sky as Princess Luna walks towards him.
"What should we do?" asked Princess Luna.
Taichi smiles.
"I'll go and find them," said Taichi as he spread his wings and fly away.
Somewhere on the Island, Pinkamena Height, Typhoon Dell and Ruby Blaze wake up slowly. Moon Beam looks up in the sky.
"We're still in Equestria. Just don't know which part of it," said Moon Beam.
"How do you know?" asked Typhoon Dell.
"Simple. Dad taught me about how to find your position from the stars. I suppose to have the next lesson today," said Moon Beam.
Typhoon Beam stands up.
"We must established order here. Pinkamena Height, search the area for food and supply," ordered Typhoon Dell.
The pink unicorn with magenta mane and tail nods.
"Ruby Blaze, build shelter for 5 of us here," continued Typhoon Dell. The dark red unicorn with mix of red and orange mane and tail nods.
"Appleshine."
Typhoon Dell looks around.
"Where is Appleshine?" asked Typhoon Dell.
A slurps was heard as he looks to the right and sees Appleshine drinking soda from bottle cup.
"Appleshine."
The anthro Earth pony still slurping.
"Appleshine."
The eldest daughter of Honesty still slurping.
"Appleshine!"
Appleshine looks at Typhoon Dell.
"Appleshine, where did you get that?" asked Typhoon Dell.
"Get what?" asked Appleshine, confused.
Moon Beam slaps her forehead and points towards the bottle cup. The anthro Earth pony looks down and sees the bottle cup.
"Ooohh," said Appleshine as she points behind her.
The 4 of them look behind her and sees a small beach with convenient store and ponies playing volleyball. Typhoon Dell looks at Appleshine.
"Why didn't you tell us we weren't in a deserted island?" asked Typhoon Dell.
Appleshine shrugs.
"Because we're in an island, not in the dessert," said Appleshine.
Moon Beam slaps her forehead again. 'Seriously?' thinks Moon Beam.
Taichi flies above the clouds. His visor detects 3 unicorn aura, one anthro Earth pony and one anthro alicorn on an island near Manehattan. He smiles as he flies down.
Appleshine still slurping her soda as Typhoon Dell, Pinkamena Heart and Ruby Blaze are relaxing around the fire. Moon Beam looks up in the sky. She smiles.
"The rescuer is here," said Moon Beam.
Appleshine looks up and sees her father and Princess Celestia land.
"So, this is where you guys camp in," said Taichi.
Appleshine chuckles.
"Not funny, dad," said Appleshine.
"I believe you have some explaining to do," said Princess Celestia.
All 4 of them low their head. Taichi looks at his alicorn daughter.
"You're grounded for 2 weeks. You will be studying for 2 weeks without playing," said Taichi.
"Come on dad. It wasn't my fault those brainless trio enjoy trying something stupid," protested Moon Beam.
"I know but you should inform us about it instead of chasing them," said Taichi.
"Fine," pouted Moon Beam.
"Okay everyone, time to head back to school," said Princess Celestia as her horn begins to flare as all of them disappear.
Two weeks later, Moon Beam walks slowly from her study room as she sits beside her mother. Princess Luna smiles.
"Done with your grounded?" asked Princess Luna.
"Today is the last day," said Moon Beam.
"Then go on, find your sister. She should be in detention class right now," said Princess Luna.
Moon Beam nods as she stands up and walks out.
Appleshine leans her body.
"Well, at least I have done with my studies for advance magic," said Appleshine.
"I know you really like study but next time you want to go an adventure, make sure it is not too dangerous and you inform us what you're doing," said Ms. Harshwinny.
"Okay," said Appleshine.
"You can go now," said Ms. Harshwinny.
Appleshine nods and walks out.
