Chapter 2
Rainbow desperately waved her hoof, but no matter what she did she couldn't seem to grab hold of the fog. She reared up her hind legs and kicked as hard as she could, but her legs only hit air.
"Ugh! What is wrong with this fog!? I can't touch it!" Rainbow huffed, stomping a hoof on the ground.
"I'm not sure; it was like this for me too." Pinkie said looking up at the sky, "I originally tried to escape from here by using my balloon fly out, but it had too many holes in it. I don't know what's beyond the fog bank."
"Well I'm about to find out! If nothing else I should be able to be rid of this fog!" Rainbow said spreading her wings before racing up into the sky, disappearing from sight quickly.
"...Do you think it's safe?" Fluttershy asked looking at Pinkie curiously.
"Well, if anyone can handle herself its Rainbow Dash. I'm sure she'll manage to have this place cleared up in ten seconds fla-"
Pinkie's words were interrupted by a ear shattering roar that bounced and echoed through the town. It felt like the very earth itself was shaking at the roar. Fluttershy and Pinkie instantly looked up into the sky at the direction of the roar, as Rainbow came barreling through the fog at them. The music box in Fluttershy's bag began to hiss with a sound similar to bees being stuck in the box.
"HIDE NOW!" She yelled loudly before swooping down to grab the hooves of her friends before giving them a chance to register her words. She half-dragged them behind the library when they all heard a tremendous thud shake the ground, as if something gigantic had just landed quickly.
"What's goi-" Pinkie tried to ask only to have Rainbow quickly shove her hooves into her mouth, giving a loud 'SHHHH'.
"Look around the corner, carefully." Rainbow whispered harshly before looking around the tree herself. Pinkie and Fluttershy carefully looked around the corner themselves. Fluttershy's eyes widened as she felt as if her heart could stop at the sight before them.
A gigantic black dragon had landed in front of Twilight's house. It growled softly as black smoke billowed from its nose. It gave a snort, shooting out a large part of the smoke into the air, as it swiveled its head around, looking for the pony that had just escaped from its sight. It stepped forward carefully examined the building and areas on the street.
It gave another snort of frustration, as its wings opened up, giving them a good flap lifting its body into the sky and causing everything to rattle and shake with the force of the wind. With a few more quick flaps it flew up into the fog filled sky, disappearing from sight. The buzzing of the music box faded away with the dragon.
The three mares stood frozen, waiting until they could no longer hear the beating of its wings, before letting out a long collective sigh.
"What's a dragon doing here?" Pinkie asked, stepping out from behind the tree, looking up at where it had flown off.
"I don't know, but it seemed to know exactly where I was the moment I started flying." Rainbow said looking at her wings, "I can't go up into the sky and clear this weather away if it knows where we are when I fly..." Rainbow groaned, "Meaning I can't fly AT ALL and that we're going to have to deal with this fog."
"It's alright," Pinkie smiled reassuringly, "the fog's not so bad, once we get inside we'll be able to see just fine."
"If you say so. Alright, let's go Flutters-" Rainbow said turning to look at the ball of pink that was curled up, shivering on the floor. "Fluttershy?" She asked worriedly, quickly running over to her marefriend.
