“Woohoo! Can’t tell ya how pumped I am to get back in the action!” Rainbow Dash cheered, flying and performing multiple loops and zigzags across the throne room. She landed harshly near them, almost cracking the floor, and jammed out her hoof to her friends. “What do ya say? Let’s save the world one more time?”
Staring at her outstretched hoof, Applejack chuckled. “Ya act like this’ll be the las’ time, Dash.”
Puffing out her lips, Rainbow smirked. “Lemme rephrase that: Let’s save the world again?”
Applejack smirked in return, smacking her hoof to Rainbow’s. “And again.”
Rarity did so as well, connecting her hoof with a triumphant smile. She played along and said, “And again.”
Twilight shook her head with scoff, eventually bringing her hoof in as well. “And again.”
“And again and again and AGAIN!” Pinkie Pie cheered, leaping in the group and pounding her hoof with the others. They all raised their hooves and cheered, whistled, and vowed victory. What was meant to be a triumphant and bold celebration was slowly growing sour. Smolder rolled her eyes and frowned at the floor. Sandbar sadly looked away. The Second Sister saw all of their reactions and stared in silence.
But nopony noticed them. They were far too busy focused on the victorious tide coming their way. Until Pinkie’s mane suddenly deflated. “Awww… it’s just not the same without Fluttershy here!” she whined.
“We’ll see her again tomorrow when the Radiance meets up with Shining Armor,” Twilight said with a wink. “Promise.” And that was enough to get an ecstatic smile back on the pink pony’s lips.
It suddenly dawned on Rainbow when they brought up Fluttershy, which reminded her of Fluttershy’s role in T.I.T.A.N. And what T.I.T.A.N. were bringing with them to the inevitable clash with Godzilla. “Oh, yeah… what if the monkey fails?” Dash asked aloud.
