The Three Amigos

"Come on slowpoke, move faster!" Scootaloo said, "Honesty Spike I'm surprised your this slow."
"I Might move faster if I didn't have a Piggybacker" Spike responded as Silverstream tapped on his head.
"Oh, But isn't this just romantic, a couple on a long hard journey."
"oh yeah, me, you, and Scootaloo on a romantic getaway to walk across Equestria twice, and climb one of the most dangerous mountains in the world...all while being chased by a princess, how romantic." Silverstream sighed
"I love it when you break down a sentence and destroy all hope in the party around you."
"I don't do that." Spike huffed, they walked in silence for a second "Scootaloo do I do that?"
"Sometimes" she responded as she jumped over a log "But things always seem to end well, more or less."
"What? Why hasn't anyone ever sto..yeag!" Spike was cut off when he failed to consider Silverstreams wait and broke through the log, "Oh great." he sighed, he took a deep breath, "Ok ready." Immediately Silverstream grabbed his underarms and pulled him out, once he was free and set on the ground Spike stretched and gave her a thumbs up "Congratulations, you've succeeded in not pulling my arms out of their sockets." Silverstream cheered and hugged Spike with a crack
"Oh Yay!" She cheered as Spike sucked up the pain
"I only have myself to blame," he thought as Silverstream picked him up and flew to catch up with Scooaloo, who hadn't stopped when they had and was now at the edge of the woodlands they had been in for the last hour
"Hey!" Scootaloo said angrily "Can the flying, it's fine when we're under tree cover, but it'll take a while to cross this field, so lay low and..."
"That is a huge Crevas," Spike interrupted pointing to the large crack that ran through the land in front of them and ran into the woodlands beyond, the three looked at it in silence before Scootaloo clapped her hands together
"If we travel in that, we won't have to worry about being spotted." she shook her head with a smug looked "I'm such a genius."
"Um...Scootaloo" Spike interjected, "Not to be rude or anything, but that would make crossing the field even longer, not to mention we don't know why it's there, or if anything..." Silverstream put her finger to Spike's mouth.
"Now, Spike, This Trip was Scootaloo's idea, so until one of her plans blow up dramatically in our face, she's in charge, but once it does blow up I'm in charge!" with that said the Trio walked, or in Spike's case was dragged, to the Crevas, it was fairly deep, the Three would have to stand on each other shoulders just to see at ground level.
"Oh, this is perfect!" Scootaloo cheered as she attempted to climb down before she could Silverstream grabber her around the wait and did the same with Spike, flying down into the hole "Yeah...good call." Scootaloo cheered "Team effort all around."
"What the hell did I do?" Spike asked
"Without you, Silverstream wouldn't be here."
"Also Scootaloo would have been caught in the act of running by Pinkie, and would never have escaped without you, and she never would have gotten down here with our me, but we wouldn't be down here without her...so yeah, Team effort" Silverstream confirmed, she smiled at her speech but frowned when she realized Spike had walked away from them after receiving an answer to Scootaloo and was now looking at a small puddle. "Oh Dammit" She sighed, earning a pat on the back from Scootaloo "maybe try being less insane?" Silverstream smiled and patted Scootaloo
"Silly Scootaloo, if I do that than other girls might try and move in on him, if I scare them all away then I have nothing to worry about."
"Silver, I dought anypo...sorry, anybody is interested in Spike at the moment."
"Exactly! At the moment! We're all like 14, but by the time where all 18 I'm sure a few female Dragons will take interest, and I'm not taking any chances on..." the two jumped when Spike yelped, the two ran over to check out the problem, Spike had been standing on the edge of the puddle, unaware the puddle was a hole in the ground, the ground had given away and Spike was now thigh deep in the puddle.
"I'm impressed," Spike said, "I've survived Silverstream for the past 4 week's, and I've been defeated by a puddle."
"I can just pull you out!" Silverstream shot back "I'm not gonna be defeated by a puddle!" Fear shot threw Spike.
"Silverstream if you did that you'd break me in half," He said in fear attempting to push away from her, only to sink a small bit more "Oh for the, how deep is this muddy puddle!?" Spike demanded as he attempted to pull his legs out. Scootaloo put her hand in the water and pushed down
"Pretty deep, we might have to..oh crap" Scootaloo had sunk her arm above her elbow and couldn't pull it back out "Well shit, Silverstream remember us." Scootaloo said dramatically as she attempted to pull herself free "I'm joking, by the way, help me out, then we can help Spike out, and try not to dislocate my arm please."
"ok, I got this," Silverstream said as put her hand in the water and the two began slowly but surely removing her arm. meanwhile, Spike was looking around the Crevas they were in,
"Hey guys?" he asked suspiciously.
"Busy Spike," Scootaloo Responded as she began sliding her arm out of the mud
"Ok, but does this canvas remind you guys of a stream?" he looked around the bottom, eyeing multiple other puddles similar to the one he was stuck in.
"Don't be silly Spike, if this was a stream it'd be full of water," Silverstream added. Spike continued looking at their surrounding as with a pop the two freed Scootaloo.
"There, now for Spike." meanwhile half a mile upstream a Small group of ponies where standing in the same canvas as the trio, a large magic barrier keeping the water from the stream bottled up, the team had been called in to fix the filtration system that was used to suck in the streams water to be used for recreational use by a nearby resort.
"Alright boy's, everything should be working right as rain now, clear out so we can test the pipes!" the team were levitated out and the barrier was dropped.
"I'm serious" Spike said as his two companions began the process of pulling him free, "This looks just like the stream next to ponyville that time Twilight had to empty it to remove some plants from Everyfree that had poisoned the water, This place look's dry, but look at all these puddles, I know for a fact that Las Pegasus and the surrounding area's have been cleared for a dry spell to help push a few new water parks in the area."
"Spike stop being a worrywart, even if that was true, what are the odd's of them releasing the water at this exact moment in..." Scootaloo stopped when they all felt a loud rumble, The Two Girls turned and saw the wall of water fast approaching, Spike was incapable of looking at it but gave a good guess.
"There's a Giant wall of water coming right at us right now isn't there?"
"Yup," Scootaloo confirmed
"Fish Time!" Silverstream called out, making Scootaloo jump,
"Bring it on," Spike responded as Silverstream pulled out her crystal and engulfed the trio in its magic just as the wall hit them.
"Dammit all" Scootaloo said as she attempted to swim against the current, only to find that she and her friends where being thrown around like rag dolls, Silverstream was doing a good job of swimming with the current while at the same time not breaking the front of the wave, Scootaloo herself was stuck being pushed with the wave, her attempts to free herself resulting in her swirling around uncontrollably, Spike was having the worst luck ,he looked mostly the same, but his entire body was slightly translucent, his hands had become fin's, and his lower body was entirely his tail, the main problem he was having was that he seemed to no longer have a skeletal system and seemed to be entirely at the waters mercy.
"I preferred being a pufferfish!" Spike called out as he was caugh by the wave and thrown into the open air, only to be eaten by the wave and spat out again, after the 4th time Scootaloo tried to save him and instead ended up stuck in the same look as he was
"Silverstream Help!" Scootaloo managed to call before being tossed back out, she had a brief second to recognize the pain of being thrown hard into the rocky ground before being hit by the wall of water
"Just don't get caught in this stupid..." Spike managed to call before being vomited out, he collided with the ground and felt the pain of having his face collapse in on itself, he lay on the ground for a second before being swallowed again, once in the water his face snapped back into place "...Loop that we're stuck in!" Spike finished before being thrown back out, this time colliding with Scootaloo. the two fell back towards the ground, Silverstream watch this happen and made her move, she did a small flip and joined in the current, aiming low towards the ground, just as Scootaloo and Spike rejoined the wave she grabbed them both and changed herself back into a Hippogriff, using her feet she dug into the ground and the three managed to slow down enough to escape the shit show that was the front of the wave, letting them go Silverstream turned back into a Seapony as sighed as they where carried away with the current
"Well, that was a shit show." She said before turning to Spike
"Are you ok Spike?" she asked, Spike rubbed his face with his fins.
"Feel like Jello." He responded as he looked at himself "The heck, am I?"
"You're a Young Sea Dragon!" Silverstream said happily, "Your body's all goey and soft, but it's almost impossible to kill you, even if a monster got you in its mouth, it wouldn't be able to chew or Digest you!" Before Spike could respond to that they heard another loud rumbling noise, Spike sighed as he ponied behind him
"We're about to go over a Waterfall aren't we?" he asked
"Yup" Scootaloo said excitedly "Oh this is gonna be so cool, when I go back to school I'll get to say I got to Ride a flood wave and got washed down a Waterfall!" Spike turned to Silverstream
"Sharp Rocks at the bottom?" Spike asked
"Most likely" Silverstream confirmed as she tucked in on herself. Spike frowned as the Sound got louder and louder.
"Bring it on" Spike decided tucking into himself to as the sound defend him, he turned just in time for his head to break the surface, it was about a 40 foot drop down, Scootaloo Grabbed him and Silverstream and the Trio all screamed as they fell down the fall
"BOOYAH!!"
