//------------------------------// // Chapter 5 // Story: Just a Dash of Shy // by Musical_theatre_demon //------------------------------// The Student Six searched all of Griffonstone for Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy, but had no luck. Sandbar, Yona, Gallus, Smolder, and Ocellus grew into a panic. Griffonstone Lyrics Student Six: Where did they go? I don't know They just disappeared Maybe something Has gone wrong Everything we've feared Silverstream: But we can't let it bring us down We won't wear a frown! We will prevail Some place and time We'll find a way To set sail Student Six (minus Silverstream): I hope you're right Giving me such a fright Where did you go? Who in Equestria knows? We're alone In Griffonstone Gallus: I want out of here Student Six (minus Gallus): Without them, we need a way To vanquish the fear Ocellus: How could they leave us? Did they deceive us? But now we're alone In Griffonstone Student Six: I don't know But we're alone I don't know But we're alone I don't know But we're alone In Griffon We're alone We're alone In Griffon We're alone In Griffonstone (Song ends) * * * Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy examined their surroundings. To the both of them, the things they saw, heard, and felt were and seemed so real. It was like a pleasurable hallucination or déja vu. "Are we where I think we are?" Fluttershy asked. "If the answer's 'the past', then hay yeah, I know exactly where we are," Rainbow Dash replied. "It seems so familiar----- I could almost reach out and touch us," Fluttershy said. "Uh, you could?" Rainbow Dash asked. Fluttershy glared at her. "Sorry, sorry. Yeah, it's like you could just put a hoof through and talk to us," she said. "That gives me an idea," said Fluttershy, "Take my hoof in song and dance!" Rainbow Dash blushed. "Don't mind if I do," she said, grabbing Fluttershy's silky yellow hooves. Both Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy could feel the wind in their manes as they shared this moment. Even for two pegasi, it felt magical. It Feels Strange Lyrics Fluttershy: Look around us How it astounds us Take my hooves We'll whisk away On a strange adventure In which we'll stay It feels strange But I think That I'm starting to Feel for you Rainbow Dash: It's magical Me and you It feels strange Like déjà vu There's so much That we could do We could fly Around in the sky Be free Just you and me The past is now The past is not the past Both: Anymore! Fluttershy: How magical that past feels Thinking that you could just Reach out your hoof And touch yourself How magical that the past Makes everything Come alive I'm here with you You're here with me Dancing freely Can't you see? This is how it should be Both: In the past Flying fast Just you and me Rainbow Dash: How strange it feels When two hearts connect And dance about the stars You and me, here we are Dancing with love Without a care In the world Both: How strange How magical it feels When our hooves And hearts Become one Just you and I High up in the sky The memories My, how they fly Carefree Magically Inclined (song ends) Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy chuckled nervously and turned away from each other to conceal their embarrassed blushes. "Uh, Fluttershy... do you wanna do something once we get out of here?" Rainbow Dash asked, breaking the everlong silence. "Depends on what you mean by something," Fluttershy said, "Gosh, I worry about the Friendship Students. They must be scared with the sudden disappearance. Though I don't know how we got here." "Me neither," Rainbow Dash said, "But hey, haven't they handled themselves before and succeeded?" Fluttershy was a little sceptical, but after giving it some thought, she took a deep breath and nodded, signaling to Rainbow Dash that they must find a way out--- and quickly. Because the both of them didn't know how long they'd be trapped here, even if it boosted Fluttershy's ego a tad.
