Just a Dash of Shy

Chapter 5

The Student Six searched all of Griffonstone for Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy, but had no luck. Sandbar, Yona, Gallus, Smolder, and Ocellus grew into a panic.

Griffonstone Lyrics

Student Six: Where did they go?
I don't know

They just disappeared
Maybe something
Has gone wrong
Everything we've feared

Silverstream: But we can't let it bring us down
We won't wear a frown!

We will prevail
Some place and time
We'll find a way
To set sail

Student Six (minus Silverstream): I hope you're right
Giving me such a fright

Where did you go?
Who in Equestria knows?

We're alone
In Griffonstone

Gallus: I want out of here

Student Six (minus Gallus): Without them, we need a way
To vanquish the fear

Ocellus: How could they leave us?
Did they deceive us?

But now we're alone
In Griffonstone

Student Six: I don't know
But we're alone

I don't know
But we're alone

I don't know
But we're alone
In Griffon

We're alone
We're alone
In Griffon

We're alone
In Griffonstone

Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy examined their surroundings. To the both of them, the things they saw, heard, and felt were and seemed so real. It was like a pleasurable hallucination or déja vu.

"Are we where I think we are?" Fluttershy asked.

"If the answer's 'the past', then hay yeah, I know exactly where we are," Rainbow Dash replied.

"It seems so familiar----- I could almost reach out and touch us," Fluttershy said.

"Uh, you could?" Rainbow Dash asked.

Fluttershy glared at her.

"Sorry, sorry. Yeah, it's like you could just put a hoof through and talk to us," she said.

"That gives me an idea," said Fluttershy, "Take my hoof in song and dance!"

Rainbow Dash blushed. "Don't mind if I do," she said, grabbing Fluttershy's silky yellow hooves.

Both Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy could feel the wind in their manes as they shared this moment. Even for two pegasi, it felt magical.

It Feels Strange Lyrics

Fluttershy: Look around us
How it astounds us

Take my hooves
We'll whisk away
On a strange adventure
In which we'll stay

It feels strange
But I think
That I'm starting to
Feel for you

Rainbow Dash: It's magical
Me and you
It feels strange
Like déjà vu
There's so much
That we could do

We could fly
Around in the sky

Be free
Just you and me

The past is now
The past is not the past

Both: Anymore!

Fluttershy: How magical that past feels
Thinking that you could just
Reach out your hoof
And touch yourself

How magical that the past
Makes everything
Come alive

I'm here with you
You're here with me
Dancing freely

Can't you see?
This is how it should be

Both: In the past
Flying fast
Just you and me

Rainbow Dash: How strange it feels
When two hearts connect
And dance about the stars

You and me, here we are
Dancing with love
Without a care
In the world

Both: How strange
How magical it feels
When our hooves
And hearts
Become one

Just you and I
High up in the sky
The memories
My, how they fly

Carefree

Magically

Inclined

Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy chuckled nervously and turned away from each other to conceal their embarrassed blushes.

"Uh, Fluttershy... do you wanna do something once we get out of here?" Rainbow Dash asked, breaking the everlong silence.

"Depends on what you mean by something," Fluttershy said, "Gosh, I worry about the Friendship Students. They must be scared with the sudden disappearance. Though I don't know how we got here."

"Me neither," Rainbow Dash said, "But hey, haven't they handled themselves before and succeeded?"

Fluttershy was a little sceptical, but after giving it some thought, she took a deep breath and nodded, signaling to Rainbow Dash that they must find a way out--- and quickly.
Because the both of them didn't know how long they'd be trapped here, even if it boosted Fluttershy's ego a tad.
