//------------------------------// // The Wreck and the Tree House // Story: Fluttershy and Rarity Lost At Sea // by rumblefaith //------------------------------// When it got dark outside, and Fluttershy and Rarity were sleeping a storm blew in out of nowhere. Fluttershy sprang to her feet at the loud boom of the thunder. Rarity then woke at the crack of lightning. A few minnutes later the rain poured down them. Rarity tried to speak, but her voice was drowned out by the thunder. Fluttershy looked at Rarity in a horified look. Rarity started to cry, but once again the noise was drowned out. "Rarity!" Fluttershy screamed at the top of her lungs as Rarity was being blown away. Fluttershy flew into action and rescued her just before she was blown off the ship and into the sea. "Fluttershy! Look out!" Rarity screamed in a terrified voice. Fluttershy looked where the ship was headed. It was headed for disaster. Some sharp rocks were sticking out of the ocean. Fluttershy dropped Rarity and flew away to steer away from the rocks. "Fluttershy, were going to---" CRASH!!!! Rarity woke up on the shore, choking and spitting out sand. She couldnt believe her eyes! They were on an unknown island and they were safe. "Fluttershy! Fluttershy!" Rarity said as she shook Fluttershy. "Wake up! Were okay. Were safe don't worry." Fluttershy opened one eye and imediatly sat up straight. She looked around in a very confused way. "Rarity, your hair!" Fluttershy screamed. Rarity ran and looked at her reflection in the ocean. "MY HAIR!!!" Rarity cried. "Its horrible! Whatever shall we do? Did our luggage get shipwrecked as well? Did it land on the shore?" Fluttershy shrugged and looked around. Then she saw a suitcase on a rock, just a little way from them. "Fluttershy, will you fly over there in the water and get my suitcase. If walk I'll ruin my tail aswell!" Rarity asked. Fluttershy nodded and flew over to the suitcase. It had seaweed and plankton on it. Fluutershy glanced over to Rarity with a disgusted face. Rarity pleaded and finally Fluttershy picked up the suitcase and brought it to Rarity. The minnute it was in front of Rarity, she tore through and looked all over for her hairbrush. When she found it she started hacking her hair and styling it. "I must put on some more eyeshadow. It got washed off in the sea." Again she dug through her suitcase. When she found the eyeshadow she carefully put it on and stuffed everythig back in the bag. "What should we do know, Rarity?" Fluttershy asked in a soft and concerned voice. "We shall look for shelter." Rarity replied. They set off to find somewhere to stay for the following night. They looked all around, but found nothing. "Maybe we should make a tree house." Rarity advised. Flutershy looked all around. "It won't be hard finding sticks, Rarity. The storm did a lot of dammage and so there are lots of sticks on the ground." Fluttershy said as she picked up a few sticks and started looking for a good tree to build their house in. Rarity also looked for some sticks and a good tree. "Let's make a pile of sticks." Rarity suggested. "Then we don't have to carry everything. "Good idea." Fluttershy agreed. And they went back to work. All of the sudden, Rarity cried out: "Look Fluttershy! A perfect tree to build a tree house in. Fluttershy also thought so and gazed up at the tree. It was a farily large tree, but they could make a ladder leading up to the house. "Rarity?" Fluttershy asked with a concerned look. "We dont have any tools. How will we build a house?" "We'll be like the caveponies. Make our tools out of rocks and sticks and vines." Rarity answered as though it was ovious. Fluttershy shrugged and started to look for some rocks. "What shall we use for nails?" Fluttershy asked disapprovingly. "You ask to many questions darling." Rarity replied. "Just do as I do." Rarity looked around. Fluttershy looked around. Rarity picked up a stone. Fluttershy picked up a stone. Rarity eyed it carefully. Fluttershy eyed it carefully. "Dont litterally copy me!" Rarity said, annoyed. "Don't be a copy pony." Fluttershy blushed and turned away to look for some more sticks. About six hours later, the fillies were worn out from all their work. They had finally finished the tree house. They worked hard to make it and they were rewarded with a lovely house. There was a table and two cairs, a deck, a table so they could eat outside, and their luggage. They had also made made two beds just the right size for the little ponies. "I'm starving. Lets go find something to eat. And maybe fresh water. That would be very nice." Rarity said as she walked out to the deck majestically and looked down at the island floor as if she were looking down at her fellow subjects. "Your not Princess Celestia you know." Fluttershy giggled as she watched Rarity pretend to be a princess. "Lets go get some food now. You said you were starving."
