Chapter 3
Twilight had never been in the ocean. In fact never out of Equestria. So her knowledge of it was very low. So when the fog came in, they almost got lost.
"I can't see a thing," said Rainbowdash. "We've been traveling for hours. Nearly a day! I think."
"We just have to sell straight," said Twilight.
"But can't Discord just teleport us there?," asked Rainbowdash.
"I can't do it if I don't even know where we're heading," said Discord.
"The best option for us is like I said," said Twilight. "To just sail straight."
Then, she saw something. It was a-.
"Land ho!," Pinkie Pie yelled.
"Wait wha-," started Twilight.
Suddenly, the boat crashed and they were washed away.
"Ow my head," said Twilight as she as she rose, rubbing her head. She then regained consciousness and realized they were standing, or at least her, on a beach. In front of her was the fogged ocean, and ahead, layed her dying home. She then stood up, and called for her friends.
"Applejack! Rainbowdash! Pinkie Pie! Can you guys hear me! Where are you?!" Her ears perked up to a call for her name. "Applejack?," she asked. She ran to were she heard the noise come from. Applejack was on a tree branch, her tail caught in it.
"I might need some help here," she said.
"Hold on I got you," said Twilight, using her magic to untangle the cowgirl. She jumped down, as Twilight said, "Help me find the others."
The friends looked everywhere to find the rest of the group. They found Rarity under a branch of a tree, stuck in tree sap. "Uggh I'm ruined," she whined. "Now I'll never get the mud out of my mane."
"At least y'all still alive," said Applejack. "You didn't expect to not get dirty."
"No just, not this messed up," said Rarity.
Applejack rolled her eyes. They found Pinkie Pie buried under the sand, and Rainbowdash covered with crabs. "This is totally not painful," she said, hiding the pain.
"I'm on it," said Applejack, walking towards her. "You three find the rest."
They nodded and kept seeking. Spike was stuck on a tree so Rarity got him down. Twilight counted six of them. "Where's Fluttershy and-," she stopped when she heard leaves rustled.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch," said Discord as he fell from branch to branch, then finally, hit the ground. Fluttershy fell afterwards, dizzy.
"That answer your question," said Applejack.
"Guess so," said Twilight.
"Ouch!," shrieked Rainbowdash. "Hey watch it! I would like to keep my wings thank- youch!"
"Stay still," said Applejack. "Just one more to go."
"You don't tell me to ouch!," shrieked Rainbowdash once more.
"There," said Applejack, spitting the crab out. Rainbowdash shook dry, then they all turned to Twilight. "What now?," asked Rainbowdash.
"I think we uh, enter the forest," said Twilight, unsure. She didn't even know where they were. The group stared at her. But as unsure as they were, they just walked into the forest.
"Uggh I can't take this heat," whined Rarity. "I feel my mane literally sticking to my neck."
"Well ya didn't expect a novelty trip did ya Rarity?," asked Applejack.
"Well you wouldn't know since the farm life has gotten you used to it," said Rarity. "It's not like you would understand."
"Are you implying that I'm dumb?," said Applejack eyeing Rarity.
"No. Just inexperienced," said Rarity.
"I think I know when it's hot Rarity," said Applejack annoyed. "Just cause I'm a farmer doesn't make me dumber than you. Just cause you have class."
"Oh you don't even know what you're talking about," said Rarity. "Not everyone was made in a city and taught matters."
"Say what now!," yelled Applejack. "You take that back Ms. Drama Queen!"
"Oh I'm not the one yelling!," declared Rarity.
"Stop it! Both of you," said Twilight. "Arguing won't make any difference."
"Well maybe it wouldn't be happening if the Spirit of Disharmony weren't here," said Rainbowdash.
"Oh it's my fault now," said Discord. "And why would that be?"
"Because everywhere you go there's trouble," said Rainbowdash.
"Ohh super argument center," said Pinkie Pie. "This calls for a-."
"Can it Pinkie!," said everyone except Fluttershy.
"Well at least I'm trying to help!," said Pinkie Pie.
"Why would a party be helpful?," asked Applejack annoyed.
"Because it brings happiness and smiles!," yelled Pinkie Pie.
"Well it won't work now!," yelled Rainbowdash.
The ponies kept on arguing and arguing. "Should we interfere?," asked Spike.
"I really don't know," said Twilight. "But we're wasting time and we need-."
Before she could finish her thoughts she heard a branch snap. The group all quieted down, perking their ears up (except for Spike who apparently didn't have ears that perked up). Soon their eyes fell on Discord.
"What are you guys all staring at?," asked Discord confused. But they kept their eyes on him. "Okay what's with the awkward silence. Seriously you're creeping me out." Then something tackled Discord to the ground. The group was suddenly surrounded.
"What in Equestria!," yelled Twilight. A, -pony?-walked towards her. She removed her mask and eyed the young alicorn. She had mahogany eyes, a light tan coat. But what was so shocking about her were her wings. They were completely lot up by fire!
"Well hello there," she said. "Exuse us for the disturbance and, rough first impression. I'm Commander Torrid, but you can call me Torrid. As I said, please forgive us for our roughness. Just that your pet dracunaquus alarmed us."
"Pet!," yelled Discord. "Who are you calling a pet you little-." He launched towards her but was held back by some type of magic proof ropes.
"Ha!," laughed Torrid. "Try getting out of those anti-dracunaquus ropes. Magic proofed made by the King himself."
"You can let him go," said Fluttershy. "He's not really evil once you get to know him. He won't be a threat."
"Sorry Rose but I only talk to leaders," said Torrid. "So Lavender, what's your name, whatha doing here, and is your pet safe around here."
