Chapter 17

Inside the cabin the entourage all sat quietly in their bunks. They all just wanted to start fresh in the morning they had 4 days to our destination and decided to let me tell them when I was ready to talk.

Fluttershy gets up off her bed to get some water before she went to sleep and makes her way to the cabin they set aside for a rest room of sorts. She is quite afraid to be alone in dark places and quickly drinks the clear water in a large pail.

She turns around to squeal out at a white figure standing inches away from her. The figure tackles her over and silences her. " It's me Fluttershy dont be so jumpy deary." She just laid there and didn't even struggle. But she recognized the voice and barely said shaking. "Rarity is it you?"

She jumps off of her and helps her friend up off the ground. She was just getting water coincidentally and followed her in she explains herself to her timid friend. There is a silence for a moment and Rarity breaks it by showing her concern. "You been acting strange lately is something the matter sweetheart? You just really ain't been you're self lately. Is there something you want to tell me.

She shifts her eyes and covers her face with her hair. Rarity assures her confidentiality as she said. " You can tell me Fluttershy I promise not to tell anypony. She nods and breaths deep and got to whispering range of her and spoke softly to her. " It's about last night." Rarity's voice boomed out over her. " Last night!!!" There is silence for a moment and she says in a lower tone. " Sorry continue."

She sighs and tells her its nothing it was something silly anyway. Her friend looked disappointed as she walked out and tried to avoid the subject. She makes her way back to the bunk and covered herself in her blanket.

Her friend trots in and makes her place. I walk in awhile later and situate myself. All the others were sleeping besides Rarity and Fluttershy.

I grab the wrist pad and turn it back on. I scroll through the files that were sent to me. The pictures of Earth were very vivid. It showed a world with clouds of dust obscuring the surface and making it hard to make it out if it even was Earth. When I saw the moon a tear streamed down my face.


My home was a desert unable to support life any more. It was all true every word of it. I had enough drama for one day and shut off the device to to get some sleep.

I lay down and stretched out and stared at the ceiling with the dull roar of the train keeping me company.
