Ikaros charged at the shed door again, hoping that it would bust. She was getting annoyed with X leaving, and Hari's chanting. She wanted her friends  back.

"It's not gonna work..." Dans growled, resting under a tree.

Ikaros walked over to him, frowning.

"Dans, we can't give up!"  She yelled stamping her hoof.

Dans rolled his eyes. His colors started to drain from his  and mane, like the others. His cutie mark faded. And he tuned back to normal.

He rested his head on the ground with a blank face, and closed his eyes.

Ikaros frowned, but she wasn't giving up yet. Hari was still chanting, getting on her nerves. She had to find X, and fix whatever was happening to them.

She ran through the forest, tears running down her eyes. She didn't care if branches hit her face, or if her hooves were being cut up by rocks. She just ran, as fast as she could.

She stopped in and opening, it was surrounded by green trees, flowers, and  a little reflecting pool. Her mind must of been playing tricks on her.

She walked up to the reflecting pool, and stared in it. Tears streamed down into the pool, mixing with the water. Her color faded, and so did her cutie mark. And she turned normal.

Ikaros couldn't do anything about it, nothing. She could of swore she saw bubbles inside the pool, but her tears clouded her vision and mind.

She sat there, wondering what to do.

Suddenly, the bubbles in the pool began to grow, and became bigger.

X suddenly popped out of the pool, making Ikaros scream in fear.

"W-what?!" She stuttered.

X shook himself, but it was strange. His color was back, and so was his cutie mark. The water could bring it back.

"Hey Ikaros." He said causally.

Ikaros looked at him, then back at the pool. She then stepped into the water for a few seconds, and came up back to normal.

"It works!" She exclaimed.

X shrugged his shoulders, not remembering what had happened.

"Come on!" She exclaimed running back to the creepy shed.

X followed behind her, running just as fast as her.

She stopped in front of chanting Hari, and sleeping Dans.

She pulled Hari's tail.

"Stop." Hari said.

She pulled Hari back to the pool, Hari rolled his pale eyes.

Ikaros threw him in the water, making his gasp.

He dunked in, staying under for a while.

He came back up happy as can be. He was sad anymore, and he was back to normal.

"Ha!" Hari exclaimed running in circles until he fell.

"Come on!" Ikaros said running back.

They all ran back in front of Dans, and stopped.

"We have to put him in the water?" X asked resentfully.

Ikaros nodded her head, looking regretful.

Dans hated water, especially cold water, which the pool was.

Ikaros bit Dans tail. She pulled him to the pool.

"It'll be alright buddy." Hari said reassuringly.

Dans opened one eye, and looked at the pool in back of him.

Dans hissed and kicked and scratch like a cat. It took all of them to throw him in.

Dans said under for 2 seconds, then came up like normal, but flew out the pool as fast as he could, mad his jacket got wet. They ran after him, back to the shed.

"We did it!" Hari said jumping around.

"I don't ember anything but you guys WETTING ME WITH WATER!" Dans screamed.

Ikaros and the others laughed, she then looked at the door to the shed.

"Ready?" She asked.

Everyone nodded. They all flew back, except Hari who ran back. And plunged to the door.
