//------------------------------// // Fortress // Story: What is Friendship Now // by Narcissistic Writer //------------------------------// "So where ya been these couple of months everyone thought you were dead especially me I mean everyone was worried sick" "Oh no. How was Fluttershy" "Lets just say she stayed in her cottage for about two GOSH DARN WEEKS!"Twilight stared in shock. "Oh that sounds horrible" "We had to convince her that you would be okay when we all thought the same as her" "I'm sorry I didn't know there wasn't much I could do I was severely injured from the blast and was picked up by a team called the uh what were they called?" "The Outcasts" "Yeah,why you heard of them" "More see them destroy Ponyville and the....the...farm" "They...they did WHAT!" "Everything burned down to the ground the Town Hall,Sugarcube Corner the S-s-S-Sc-Schoolhouse"Twilight barely saw tear run down her eye. Luckily Twilight had no family in Ponyville so she had no worries but Applejack,Rarity and Rainbow Dash couldn't say the same. Twilight couldn't imagine losing a sister or brother or any relative but then she remembered Shining Armor her Mother her Dad she had to find them but the Canterlot Castle was destroyed so the thought of rescue faded until Applejack spoke breaking her daze. "What are yer plans on ya know survival" Twilight thought it through she thought she would need a new plan since Applejack probably wanted to find her friends too. "Well I want to find the rest of our friends then we can focus on supplies. Speaking of supplies do you have any hay a cupcake or some water or anything appetizingly edible" "I got an apple and some water if that appeals to ya" "Yeah It'll do" The cold apple slid down Twilight's throat as water followed Twilight was now refreshed and ready to get active. "Nice?" She said with a smile. "Yeah" she replied. "I bet yer wonderin what I plan on doin and what I've been doin" Actually Twilight was curious so she replied. "Actually yeah please continue" "Well I've been- wait what's that sound" Twilight was cautious wondering if Applejack was pulling her leg or serious but she knew Applejack in a time like this she was serious. A nearby tree started rustling and a extra-terrestrial sounding sound came from inside it after a few seconds it stopped and an green repulsive explosion caused both Mares to be sent flying across the dirt after recovery they both looked up to see none other than the Wonderbolts. "Soarin grab her" Ordered Spitfire. "What......Spitfire? what are you doing?"Twilight said "Oh boys look who it is hey Twilight we're just doing Wonderbolt business" "Oh no you mean Princess Twilight"Mimicked Blaze. "Please leave us alone"begged Twilight. "Sorry but we can't chat right now stuff to do you know Wonderbolt business. Boys take them to the Fortress.
