Being part of the CMC 2.0 was exhausting, but I had more fun in one week than I had all last year! I was fairly sure I wasn't going to get my cutie mark by going around town and doing random activities, but I was happy to have friends. Since I was always so busy working on my invention, I never had time for friends. These friends were different, they helped me in the workshop; getting parts tools, snacks, and giving ideas were all things my friends help with. The Super Flyer was almost ready to tested out! We couldn't work on it today though, we were going out for ice cream! We had just met up at my house and as we were walking I thought I saw a turquoise tail disappear around the corner. It was probably nothing though.
The ice cream was great! I got Rocky Road, Shining got Chocolate Fudge, Jazzy got vanilla, Controller Note got strawberry, and Hurricane got Mint-chip.
"So what now?" Shining Feather asked.
"We could go zip-lining!" Hurricane replied.
"Or paragliding!" Jazzy Apple joined in.
"Or bungee jumping!" Controller yelled.
"How about we do something less crazy," I suggested.
"Like what? We did most of that stuff already with no luck," Hurricane stated.
"We can think of something while we head back to my house," I said.
"Ok," they said in unison.
The three crazy foals shouted ideas the whole way back. So far paragliding sounded the best. We turned the corner onto my street and I saw the door to the work shop hanging open. I'm sure I closed it when we left.
Did i forget to close it? We all walked over and peered inside. When I saw the damage my heart dropped and shattered into a million pieces... Everything was blurred, I couldn't hear what everyone else was saying. The Super Flyer was completely destroyed, along with any other thing I had made. I started to cry, and there was no stopping the tears from flowing down my face. Then I felt a hoof on my shoulder; it was Shining.
"I'm so sorry, Platinum. We can rebuild it." she offered.
"I know, we were just so close, and I was finally going to fly." I said, my face stained with tears.
"Yeah, and we'll have twice as fun," Controller piped.
I looked at my friends. We had done so much together over the last few months, and I realized that I wanted to build it again with them.
I smiled at them and said, "Well, we better get to work then, and show whoever did this that they gave us a new opportunity." Whoever did this... the turquoise tail...
"Who would do this, anyway?" Shining asked.
"Copper Shell, I saw her." I said, anger sweeping through me.
"I'm sure her little group of 'lost puppies' was with her!" Jazzy exclaimed.
"Well, let's teach them a lesson!" Hurricane yelled. Controller and Jazzy nodded.
"No, I have a better idea. But we have to act like we don't know who did it, though," Shining Feather said with a devilish grin.
And was the first time I had ever felt scared around Shining...
