Rainbowdash was fed up. As soon as she arrived in this strange world she knew she needed to take action. She soon figured out how to manage her inventory and how to gather food. Monsters didn't go as well. One had managed to hurt her before she realized she was in danger. Lets just say the zombie got to taste the rainbow after that. Rainbow tried to clear away the clouds once the rain started.. It didn't go well. She got soaked and plummeted through the clouds as soon as she tried to land. After that she started heading north. She needed to find her friends and get out of this place. She had been flying for a long time before she spotted a familier straw hat and blond mane relaxing on a hillside eating apples. Rainbow never flew so fast.
"Rainbow?!" Applejack called out happily after getting to her hooves and racing over to the approaching pegasus.
"Miss me?" She called out mockingly to her exited friend. "You don't know how long I have been waiting to see a familier face." She sighed once landing beside Applejack on the ledge.
"Same here. If your here that must mean the rest of our friends are out there somewhere!" Applejack realized. "She should start searching as soon as the sun rises. Then we can figure a way out of here." She decided.
"I think she should leave now." Rainbow argued.
"Thats a horrible idea Rainbow. What about the monsters? We wouldn't get very far having to fight them every step of the way. They might not bother you in the sky but you won't be able to fly and leave me hangin' now." Applejack said.
"I guess your right.." Rainbow agreed. "We should get some rest. We need all our strength for the morning. Then they both curled up and dozed off to sleep.
When Rainbow woke up she glanced around the ledge she had fallen asleep on. It was narrow with a reasonably steep drop below. Applejack was still asleep which didn't bother Rainbow. it must have taken quite a bit of effort for her to get up here. She had probably been traveling a long way. Rainbow was happy she had the luxury of flying through this horrible place. Rainbow turned around as she heard Applejack stir in her deep sleep.
"The zombie lives." Rainbow mocked playfully
"Ah bet you just got up yerself." Applejack replied sleepily.
"Maybe so. Anyways we should get going. I have a feeling we're close.. I say we head that way." She pointed her hoof out toward the vast forest.
"I'm thinkin' so too. Well lets go." Applejack half jumped have skidded down the mountain. Rainbow flew down after her. Once they reached the bottom they raced along the the grassy ground to be met by another green, hissing creature.
"Careful!" Rainbow shouted "These are the ones that explode. She picked Applejack up and dropped her on the nearest tree. "Stay up here. You need to attack these ones from a distance. Rainbow flew down with great speed and kicked the creature on top of it's large, green head. The creature fell down and a small pile of gunpowder sat floating where it once was. Applejack jumped off the tree and picked it up.
"I wonder what any of this stuff does.." She muttered looking at the gunpowder in her hoof.
"I bet Twilight has already found out. I bet she knows everything about this place. We need to find her and the rest of our friends. Fast." Rainbow said. "We're wasting daylight. lets keep going, Then she took off into the sky and shot off as Applejack raced on below.
After a long day of traveling they decided to make a small shelter and rest. They dug a small hole in the ground and called it home.
"There." Rainbow panted. "A house fit for a princess."
"I don't know about a princess but two normal ponies might fight." Applejack replied. Applejack was tired from the long journey they started together today. Rainbow was lucky to be able to fly. She was able to avoid monsters and other obstacles on the ground.
"I really hope we find somepony else soon." Rainbow's voice jerked Applejack away from her thoughts. "The more of us there are here together the better chance we have at finding out how to get out of here. I miss ponyville.. I bet the weather has gotten horrible without me there to keep the skys clear."
"I'm sure the rest of the weather patrol can handle it. They can clear the weather just as good as you can, Rainbow." Applejack replied.
"Maybe. I just miss soaring through the sky bucking the clouds into next week with my super awesome speed an-"
Applejack put her hoof to Rainbow's mouth to silence her. "IT's alright Rainbow I don't need to here about how awesome you are AGAIN." Ever since applejack met up with Rainbow all she heard was Rainbow's never ending rant about how awesome she was. Applejack understood she missed it and all but it was starting to get annoying.
"Hmph. Fine then. I'm going to bed your royal highness. Wake me when it's day O great one." Rainbow flopped down on the hard ground and settled off to sleep at her last word. Applejack had been trying to avoid any kind of fighting so far but Rainbow was making it near impossible. Applejack decided to leave it alone and get some rest herself. After checking the top of the cave like home for any monsters she stretched out onto the stone floor and fell asleep.
Once the pair had gotten up they started walking right away. They each had been learning more and more about this place. They learned that you could place the things you picked up. The next night they built themselves a small house like thing on the edge of a river. If they wanted to go in or out the broke a part in the wall and filled it up as they walked out. When the moon was high in the sky Applejack and rainbow decided to discuss their progress.
"Applejack I think we need some sort of plan. We can't keep traveling around this world, not having a clue where we're going." Rainbow started.
"How about we stay here for a while? Every day we can go out and search for our friends and report back here when we finish." Applejack suggested.
Rainbow beamed. "Thats a great idea Applejack. We can start in the morning. I'm going to bed now." Rainbow said with a slight yawn. "G'night Applejack." Rainbow called as she trotted off into her room in the far corner of the house.
Applejack decided to go outside for a while. She wasn't very tired today. More exited to put her plan to action. Once she was outside she trotted around the house, inspecting every inch of it. At the very back she heard a familiar noise through the tree's and started toward it. As she got closer she couldn't believe her eyes. In a small clearing A bright pink pony was jumping around, dancing and singing a song with a happy tune.
"Pinkie pie?.."
