"Dinky! Dinky!" Called Amethyst through the large crowd, "Where are you Dinky?" Amethyst was getting really worried now, she started breathing heavily and her head started spinning. Her knees felt weak. She thought she might pass out as she spun around and around when suddenly.
"Weeeeeeeeeee! This is fun sis!" Squeaked a voice from behind her. Amethyst turned around quickly, but to no prevail. Her sister was no where to be seen "Weeeeeeee!" squeaked the voice again from behind her. Amethys kept turning only to result in making herself dizzy. She stopped to catch her breath. "Aww why'd you stop?" commented the squeaky voice.
Amethyst turned her head and almost jumped when her sister's face was less than an inch away from her own. "Dinky!"
"Yes?" Dinky replied.
"Where have you been." Amethyst asked scolding.
"Here." said Dinky with a huge smile.
"On my back?" Amethyst said.
"Yes!" Dinky replied with her chest puffed out.
Amethyst drooped her head in embarrassment, irritation, and relief. "Okay, hop off. We need to find Mom and Da-" she cut herself off, "the Doctor..."
"Okay." Said Dinky obliviously as she hopped off of her sisters back.
The two set off looking for the Doctor and Derpy.
It was already dark, and they could hear the music and partying going on at the castle from the wedding. They looked up and saw Luna flying overhead toward the castle. "Princess!" called Amethyst, but Luna kept flying the only hint that she had heard them was that her left ear twitched.
Amethyst and Dinky continued walking through the dark, dank alley. There was putrid garbage piled up on the sides, the stink made the inside of your nose feel like it was on fire, that was ignited by lava from a sulfurous volcano. The hollow chimes of store bells blown by the ice cold night wind sounded more like the clatter of bones. The air was so cold that it cut straight through you, and the wind felt as if it would pull the skin off of your bones.
"Look at that pretty statue." said Dinky running up to an old, mossy statue. The statue was that of an Alicorn, and had razor sharp teeth. It was wearing a robe which almost looked like armor, and silver shoes. The eyes were big, and the mane was short. "It's so pretty." said Dinky reaching a hoof out to touch it.
"Dinky! Stop that. That statue isn't yours, so leave it be." scolded Amethyst.
"Ugh fine!" wined Dinky trotting away from the statue.
"Let's go this way." said Amethyst pointing with her hoof toward another alleyway opposite the statue. She didn't know why, but she didn't trust this statue. She looked back at the statue through its reflection in a store window, it seemed to have changed, just slightly, but it still changed. Amethyst didn't know how or why she thought the statue had changed, maybe it was...no, everything was the same, the pose, the location, the armor, the face still had the big eyes and the sharp-toothed smile. But was it just her, or was the smile bigger now?
They had gone around in endless circles for at least an hour now when they finally came to a dark alley filled with shops, Amethyst was distracted, arguing with a shop keeper over the price of a necklace when Dinky heard a familiar voice.
"Doctor look out!" cried a voice from down another alley way. Dinky looked and saw her mother flying and the Doctor running away from a tumbling wall. Dinky did the first thing that came to her mind which was to run. She ran towards the doctor and right as the rubble was about to crash on top of the Doctor, Dinky used her magic, more magic than she ever thought she had, and prevented the rubble from falling.
Sweat rolled down Dinky's face as she struggled to hold up the rubble. "Dinky!" called Derpy and Amethyst at the same time. both heading for the small unicorn filly.
"Stay back!" Dinky warned. "I'm not sure how much I can hold it."
"Doctor do something!" cried Derpy, helping the stallion back to his hooves.
"Right...um, yes! Alright, everypony close your eyes." Said the Doctor after looking around, inspecting the surroundings.
"But Doctor what about the thi-" Derpy started.
"Precisely." said the Doctor.
"But what will happen to Dinky? Where will she go?" asked Derpy.
"What are you talking about?" Amethyst asked concerned.
"Trust me I have it all planned out now just close your eyes!" commanded the Doctor.
They all closed their eyes and after but a second, there was a sound like the wind and then the crash of the rubble. They all opened their eyes, the rubble was not that bad, the only thing that seemed to be damaged was the ground. But there was no sign of Dinky anywhere. Then there was fine grey dust, and bits of dark grey rock and green moss in some places. But no sign of Dinky.
