Cherry vs the Forgotten Friendship

chapter 2

The next morning came faster than anyone had expected.

Cherry was still asleep until her alarm clock went off. "Oh, that clock... Killjoy... Even you order me around..." She then glared at her clock. She soon got up and began to check her memories.

Cherry took a notebook from dreams she wrote out in the middle of the night. "Being chased by a monster... Falling down a bottomless pit... Ate bologna sandwich at 3:00 in the morning and had nightmare about Drell... Aha, go to the beach today..." she then smiled. She soon rushed and got dressed for the beach.

She then saw a note from her parents saying they'd be home late, and they left money for dinner for her for later. She then took the money for now and kept going to meet the others at the beach.

Atticus did the same thing as he rushed off. Mo decided to bring Angel to the beach with her, as they were close, and Angel loved going to the beach with Mo, especially playing Fetch in the ocean waves. Almost the whole group arrived at the beach.

"Thanks for letting me come to the beach with you, Mo." Angel smiled.

"Of course," Mo smiled back. "You're my best friend."

"Uh, Rarity, what's with all the white towels?" Patch asked.

Rarity glared in offense before labeling the towels. "First of all, this is toasted oat, and linen lamb's wool," she then began before listing the others even though they all looked the same to anyone else. "Eggshell, warm frost, pale nimbus, and... Well, that one is white, I suppose. And second of all, it's for the photo shoot."

"Ohh." Patch said.

The wind soon blew which made one of the towels fly in the air.

"Don't worry, Rarity, I got it!" Spike called out after he was digging.

"No way, it's mine!" Angel grinned as she ran to catch the towel.

"No, mine!" Patch added.

"No, I got it, I got it!" Pinkie Pie even joined in.

The three dogs and Pinkie Pie soon all chased after the towel before they all tripped over each other. "I don't got it..." They all muttered in misfortune.

The beach towel then drifted in the water once it had landed.

"Dang it." Patch groaned.

The towel soon raised up with a bunch of seaweed and algae with deep breathing almost like Darth Vader.

"Ocean monster!" Pinkie Pie yelped. "OCEAN MONSTER!"

Patch soon growled protectively.

Fluttershy was soon revealed which made Patch stop. "Quincy the Sea Turtle says the tide's coming in," she then told the others. "We should take the picture soon or risk having damp ankles. Oh, he's so thoughtful."

Rarity folded the other towels and reached for the one Fluttershy had only to grimace from the seaweed. Sunset Shimmer soon arrived. Everyone else posed for their pictures as the drone followed them.

"Oh, Twilight, you got the Selfie Sensor working?" Sunset smiled to the genius of their group before striking a cute pose.

The drone seemed to get away from her and went behind Sci-Twi's leg like a scared pet.

O... Kay. So, who's ready to take a 'Best Friends' picture?" Sunset smiled, a bit curious of their strange behavior.

The others just stared at her with horrified wide eyes.

"Uh-oh, what did I do?" Sunset smirked playfully.

"Girls, you okay?" Atticus asked.

"Sunset Shimmer askin' to be in our 'Best Friends' picture?" Applejack replied. "Heh. Now Ah've heard it all."
