The Idea

Chapter 2

~The Idea~

It was about 6:30 in the morning when Twilight went down for breakfast. Ponies thought she was wierd because it was a Saturday, but Twilight thinks no day should be wasted. Applejack was planning to come over and visit Twlight today because Twilight said she would finally share her "Idea" With her today. Applejack wasnt sure to be excited or frightned... in the past Twilight has came up with well Different ideas.

By the time Applejack arrived it was about 12 (noon) They had a small breakfast and Twlight offered to go to the park. Applejack was trying to guess what Twlight's idea but she finally gave up and they just walked in silence. When they arrived to the park they came and sat at a pinic table , and right away Twilight said , " You promise you won't think i'm crazy."
"I already think your crazy ... So get on with it!" Said Applejack.
"Okay so I was thinking that we could travel to Cobra cave together and dig the 15ft. together and see what's there.
"Umm , No!! Thats a history mark I'm sure it's all blocked off"
" Oh NO , I Forgot about that "
" Yes , you sure did , Can we go back to your house, It's freezing out here!" Complained Applejack.

When they arrived at Twilights house, it was about 2 o clock and Twilight asked Applejack to please go home. Applejack did without asking and left right away. That night Twilight fell asleep depressed. She never thought of Cobra cave being blocked off , So she decided to call her teacher and ask. She wasn't going to belive Applejack yet until it was proven true!

Two days later , (Monday) Twilight arrived to her class about 10 min. early to talk to her teacher about Cobra cave. Her teacher was surprised to see Twilight. " I have a few questions about Cobra Cave." Spoke Twilight.

"I'm sorry but today is the day of the quiz, I told everyone to study!"
"I know but this isn't for the quiz."
"Well anything based on Cobra Cave is for the quiz , you don't know what questions will be on the test and I'm not giving any hints"
"I just wanted to know if Cobra cave is considered a history mark?"
"That information can wait till after the quiz and I will gladly answer anything"
"Fine."
"Alright go to your seat class is starting shortly."

Twilight was disapointed that her teacher just didn't tell her then , but she wouldn't mind waiting till after the quiz. Applejack walked through the classroom door and waved at Twilight to come here. Twilight did without asking, "Yeah" Twilight said.

" I have some good news"
"What?"
"I will travel with you to Cobra cave if it isn't blocked off."
"Really?!?!"
"Yes , but one thing... Rainbow Dash must come along with us."
"NO WAY , Not in a million years!"
" Lets finish talking aboout this later Twilight!

It was about 8:00 A.M. When the teacher asked everyone to clear there desks exept for a pencil. Twilight wondered if the quiz would help her about her theory on Cobrra cave . (her theory was : There is a magical world the 15ft. down.) Twilight recieved her quiz and begon without hesitating. Twilight was the first one to finish and asked the teacher if she could ask him her questions.. He replyed "Wait till the end of class" The teacher told her the quiz was planning to take the whole class period and she would just have to hang tight till then.

Why Rainbow Dash?

Chapter 3

~ Why Rainbow Dash? ~

It was about 9:15 A.M. When the teacher asked to collect everyones quiz papers. Twilight was relieved and instead of going to the teacher with her questions she went over to Applejack and said , "Can I just call you tonight?" "Sure , But before 6 P.M." Replyed Applejack. Twilight did not ask why and she just walked away. Twilight walked up to the teacher and asked,
"Can I ask you my questions now?
"Yes , I just got done grading your quiz.. Very nice job you recieved 100%!"
"Oh yay!"
"So what was your first question Twilight?"
"Is Cobra Cave considered a history land mark?"
"Umm , I don't think so because the slave ponies did not make a diffrence that affected the world."
"But didn't they show freedom by leaving where they were slaved to?"
"Yes but they were never found so the people back then never knew and just left it at that."
"Do people ever travel to Cobra cave?"
" Oh terribly not , Only once a family went there and there and they were never found!"
"Realy?"
"Yes , ponies around the world are forbidden to travel there because of the dangers."
"Is the cave blocked off?"
"No and it will never be , No pony knows why, execpt the person who made that rule."

Twilight thanked the teacher for his help and she ran home in clear excitement! Before she went to call Applejack she noticed it was only 10 A.M and she thought she would do her homework and other stuff before calling. It ended up happening that Twilight fell asleep after completing her homework , by the time she woke up it was 3:00 P.M She went to the park down the street and ate her late lunch. When she got home it was 3:45 P.M. And she thought she should then call her friend Applejack.

"Hello." Answered Applejack
"Hi , So about what happened at school , Why does Rainbow dash have to attend with us?'
"Oh , yes that I thought she would go because me and her are starting to be friends and I told her about your idea and she said she wants to come with us!"
"You TOLD her my idea!!"
"Yes , because it wouldn't be any fun with just the 2 of us, Wouldn't you argree?"
"Yes I woulld agree but you know how me and Rainbow dash do not match up together!"
"Then maybe this what you call adventure will help your guys freindship."
"Maybe you are right but NO other ponies can come!!"
"Alright , Twilight I must hang up know BYEE!"
"Bye Applejack..."

Twilight was pretty angry at Applejack but it was hard for her to stay mad. In all this furious Twilight ended up calling Rainbow dash!!! Rainbow dash did not answer so Twilight decided to just leave a message. This is what Twilight said,
"Hi Rainbow dash it's me Twilight, I heard you wanted to come along with Applejack and me to Cobra cave, I accepted the idea but we have to date we are supposed to head out for our journey... I was hoping in 2 weeks so I enough time to get our supplies and map together. If you still want to come then fine.. But I would be most helpful to support you to not go. Please call me back if you want or see me tomorrow at school. Bye."
Twilight hung up the phone and went up to bed.

The next morning Twilight hurried to get ready for school she told her self it was only Tuesday and to pace herself. Twilight saw Rainbow dash about 30 ft. In front of her but Twilight thought she would just wait till they get into the classroom and see if Rainbow dash comes talks to her. The day went as the same boring routine , the teacher took roll call and collected the homework, Read a boring lesson about the past and future, and we read for the last 15 min. of class. (this is why Twilight complains of her life being so boring) Near the end of class Rainbow dash passed Twilight a note that said the following
: Dear Twilight,

I recieved your message yestarday I heard your call but I didn't want to answer. Well anyways I'm not sure if I want to tag along on your special trip of yours , If I go I probally won't return.. I know you don't like me so your probally hoping I get lost or something.. So I will think about it. It so nice of you to invite me.. Applejack told me last week you wanted me to come with you guys and you begged her to ask me.. so I may consider it.. I may...

Rainbow Dash

The Wrong Idea

Chapter 4

~ The Wrong Idea ~

Twilight was appauled by the note she recived from Rainbow dash she was just humliated! She read the note at least 10 times trying to wonder how Rainbow dash would even come close to thinking Twilight WANTED her to come with her and Applejack. Thats the last thing she wanted. If she tryed to deny it Rainbow dash would just think she was embaressed and didn't want to tell the truth. Rainbow dash always gets the wrong idea of whatTwilight says!

The bell rang releasing the students, Twilight took a deep breath and walked staright up to Rainbow dash and yelled , " I never ever wanted you to come Applejack was completly wrong!"
"Oh really thats not what I heard." Yelled Rainbow dash
"Here you can hear it from me , You are NOT coming with me and Applejack!"
"Okay I will just take some other ponies and we will go."
"Oh yeah! Me and Applejack can beat you there like you wenrent even coming!"
"Haha , We will see!"

No pony has ever seen Twilight so furious in there lives before! Everyone asked if she was okay but Twilight ignored every single one of them... Twilight even thought of cancleing the whole trip , she said it was taking to long or she will just go by herself. After Twilight thought long and hard about every thing that happened that day she finally came to a solution. She worte it down in her "Cobra Cave" notebook it read , : If Rainbow dash insists in coming to to the cave as well she has to bring her own company and her OWN supplies , she may not talk to Applejack or me exspecialy... If Applejack or Rainbow dash say no to this idea they can go by themselves and I will stay home.

Twilight called Applejack a read the note to her.. Applejack agreed but would Rainbow dash? Twilight thought the idea was going pretty smoothly but she couldnt let "stupid.." (as she calls her) ruin it. Twilight said she wasn't going to call Rainbow dash again anymore unless needed to so she planned on giving the note to her tomorrow. Applejack was concerned why she couldn't talk to Rainbow dash but she didn't really care as much as she should. There was no school tomorrow but Twilight wasn't even close in being ready to leave on their journey. Applejack suggested the next coming weekend but Twilight said maybe. Applejack couldn't back out now since Rainbow dash is "coming" It didnt break the deal its only Rainbow dash wont be with us but she will be coming!

So since there was no school today for Twilight she decided to meet Applejack and Rainbow dash in the park to have lunch and talk. So Twilight went ahead and called Rainbow dash to ask her to join them today,
"Hello." Answered Rainbow dash.
"Hi, this is Twilight."
"Yes, oh yeah I'm sorry."
"For what?"
"Everything, I'm just jealous of you and your friendship with Applejack."
"Are you okay, you have never apologized to me or anybody!"
"Yes I'm fine (Sigh) Applejack and I used to be friends for a long time then you came into her life and kind of just took over."
"Oh well nothing is wrong with all 3 of us being friends , right?"
"Well we could try I guess."
"Well anyways I called to ask you to come meet Applejack and me in the park to talk all together."
"Yes when."
"Right now , bye!"
"Alright bye!"

After a long unexpected phone call with Rainbow dash , Twilight grabbed her green notebook and headed for the park. It was about 12:30 P.M when Twilight arrived to the park , but she saw neither Applejack or Rainbow dash has gotten their yet. Twilight decided to eat her sandwhich and right some supplies they need for Cobra Cave. It was about 12:50 P.M. time was going by , 1:10 P.M. Still niether of them... Twilight was getting angry, Where are they she thought to herself. Finally it was 1:30 when Applejack and Rainbow dash walked up her. (Twilight had to wait 1 hr. but she wasn't going to complain.)

"Where were you guys I've been waiting 1 hr. for you two , to arrive!"
"Well I was busy and came when I was ready." Said Applejack
"Oh and I was coming at 12:30 P.M. but somebody needed me so I went."
"Well we need to talk about Cobra cave please."
"After we EAT! , Were starving!" Complained Rainbow dash and Applejack!

Getting things ready...

Chapter 5

~ Getting Things Ready... ~

As Rainbow dash and Applejack finshed eating Twilight finished writing her supplies list for Cobra Cave. She decided to share them the list just in case they owned what of the items. This was her list:
All supplies that may be needed for the trip to Cobra Cave.. :
1.Water
2.Food
3.Tents
4.Clothing
5.Blankets , pillows Ect..
4. Rope.

"Well this is all I got." Said Twilight
"Wait I thought you said this would only be like a 1 day trip..." Commented Applejack.
"Yeah why would we need tents and clothing? Added Rainbow dash.
"Well we could get lost or something guys,or we might not be able to find the cave the first day... So just in case anything happens we should play it safe." Answered Twilight.

Twlight just wanted Applejack and rainbow dash to accept the supply list so they could move on from that subject... As time came by the questionwas finally asked by Rainbow dash , "When were you planning on all of us actaully going on the trip?"
"Well since we have a 4-day break I was thinking that would be the best time to go,which is in 2 weeks." Replyed Twilight.
"Hmm , Sounds good to me . I'll make sure I don't have anything planned that weekend." Said Applejack.
"Well since thats the best time to go then I guess I'm in to." Rainbow dash answered shly.

Since it was pushing almost 4 o clock , They decided to wrap things up. Before they all left back to there homes Twilight said , " If you guys have anything on the supply list please tell me , so I don't have to get it all myself." Applejack and rainbow dash said okay and left without Twilight. Twilight sometimes feel like she is left out when Applejack and Rainbow dash go off by themselves without inviting her. Twilight thought she would just live with it because she thought if she took them two on the trip to the Cave she might get something back in return. Twilight wasn't going to get concerned about this , she had many things to do and only had 2 weeks! That night Twilight went to the libraary to see if she could find any books on Cobra Cave.
"Hi welcome to pony library , Is there anything I can help you find this evening." Said the librarian.
"Actaully there is , I am looking for something about Cobra Cave." answered Twilight.
"Hmm , I have never been asked for one of those, why do you want one? Are you doing a research project on it at school? Asked the librarian.
"Umm no I'm not I'm planning on taking a trip there and wanted to know more about it." Twilight told her.
"Well I can see if we have one. But if I may say I don't think going up to the cave is a good idea." The librarina commented.

The libraian went to the "C" column, about five minutes later she said , "I think I found something!" Twilight was very relieved, She went to one of the tables and started looking through the book. It was getting late so she decided to look at when she got home. She went up to the desk and asked to check it out. Twilight started walking home, and about 15 minutes later she has arrived to something strange... Rainbow dash was sitting in front of her door to her house. Twilight looked confused think why Rainbow dash is there....

We have to find her!

Chapter 6

~ We Have To Find Her ~

Rainbow dash came up to Twilight looking terrified! Twilight has never seen Rainbiw dash look this way as long as she has known her! Rainbow dash said scared, " Applejack has gone missing for over an hour!"
"I tryed calling you and I looked everywhere but I had no idea of where you were!" Rainbow dash added.
"I was at the library doing stuff for Cobra Cave!" Twilight answered!
"How long has she been missing and how do you know she is!" Twilight asked.
" The pony town police called me and said she was missing! I couln't belive it so I went to her house and couldn't find her anywhere!" Rainbow dash said almost in tears!
"Well we need to start looking and stop talking!" Twilight said.

It was about 7:15 P.M. When they started to look around the town. Both Twilight and Rainbow dash had no clue of where Applejack could be. Twilight started to get really worried when it was 8:00 P.M. and there was still no sign of Applejack. They decided to going to the Pony town police center and asked them what's going on. When they arrived they saw pony cops everyone on there computer , it didn't look like any of them were actaully doing any research on Applejack. All I was hoping is they had some clues of where she could be.
"Anybody , Anybody please help us." Said Rainbow dash.
"Yes , What is it I could help you two girls with?" Said a officer.
"Our friend Applejack has been reported missing this night. " Said Twilight.
"Oh then you girls are very lucky we just found her about 15 minutes ago." Answered the officer.
"Oh my! Where is she? Where did you find her? Asked Rainbow dash.
"We found her downtown pony street , and she is down the hall to your right , room 8. " Said the officer.
"Okay , Thank you!" Said Twilight

Rainbow dash led the way to room eight , in a hurry she was! We found Applejack sitting down eating candy talking to a few officers... The officers were writing down everythings she said, or that is what it looked like in Twilights' eyes. Rainbow dash and Twilight just looked at eachother not sure to interupt or wait,they chose to wait. After about 5 minutes the officer exused Applejack to try and call someone but before she did she saw us,
"How did you guys know I was here?" Said Applejack.
" A officer reported you were missing and I went and got Twilight as fast as I could! " Said Rainbow dash.
"Why were you missing what happened?" Asked Twilight.
"I was going to the park but the, some girls asked me to join them to this crazy pony party about a half hour away..." Applejack said quitely.

"I didn't want to go but they talked me into it, and beofre I knew it they ditched me I had no clue of how to get home. Applejack contiued.
"Why didn't you go somewhere or find help?" Asked Rainbow dash.
"I tryed but it was pitch dark, I honestly had no idea of where I was at!" Applejack yelled.

The officer named Phil said Applejack can return home. It was about 9:30 P.M when we left the Pony town police center. Rainbow dash decided to walk Applejack home (of course Twilight thought) So Twilight was forced to walk home by her self.. She was alittle scared she admited to herself but she didn't let it imtimadate her. She finally arrived at her home after 15 minutes. She went straight to bed, she was very tired and luckily for her she had no school the next day. Twilight woke up to the "ring" on her phone, she saw Applejack was calling,
"Hello?" Answered Twilight.
"Are you busy today? Asked Applejack.
"Well I don't have any plans made but I was kinda wanting to do something... " Replied Twilight.
"What? Asked Applejack.
"I wanted to go back to the library and do some studying for Cobra cave. Twilight said.
"Can't you just take one day off, all you have been thinking about is Cobra cave! Said Applejack sounding annoyed.
"I understand, do you want to come over and have some breakfast? Asked Twilight trying to sound like she wanted Applejack to come.
"Sure I'll come right now. Said Applejack

Twilight hurried up and got ready and also breakfast prepared. She wasn't sure when Applejack was going to arrive. Twilight decided to put in a new entry in her cobra cave notebook before Applejack arrived.
This is what she wrote:

On the weekend we travel to Cobra cave we need to stick together and not split up. Everypony has to carry atleast one back and pitch in and help. No one can say they don't want to walk anymore and ruin it for everyone else.

Rainbow dash please sign here agreeing to the things above:
Myself sign:
Applejack sign:

Twilight decided to make a contract so nothing goes wrong, also so she just had in writing them agreeing to everthing. Twilight was going to write down more stuff but she did not want to seem to "bossy"
" KNOCK KNOCK! " Twilight heard.
Twilight opened the door and saw Applejack.
"Hi Applejack. you got here fast! Said Twilight.
"Umm, Don't be mad at me. Said Applejack

Twilight didn't want to belive her eyes.. Applejack brought Rainbow dash with her. What are you thinking bring this evil person in my house ,Twilight thought to herself...

We Will Be Fine!

Chapter 7

~ We Will Be Fine! ~

When Twilight saw Rainbow dash walking into her house she was just dying inside. Twilight had to be the better pony and just let it go.
" Hi Twilight. Said Rainbow dash in a teasing voice.
"Hello, just wondering, but why are you here? Asked Twilight.
"Well I heard you and Applejack were going to have breakfast together,I thought it would be a perfect oppurtunity for all us to get to know eachother before the big trip" Said Rainbow dash.

Twilight decided to just go along with it because she did not want to argue.
"Hey guys before we eat breakfast can I have you sign something for the trip? Asked Twilight.
"Umm sure, just depends... " Answered Rainbow dash.

Twilight showed them the contract in her notebook,and they signed it without even reading it. They ate in silence the whole time till Applejack broke the silence finally,
"Twilight can I ask you something? Applejack asked.
"Yeah,sure I guess." Answered Twilight
"Were you even worried when I went missing the other day?" Applejack said looking at Twilight right in the eyes.
"Of course I was Applejack,the minute I heard I went and searched everywhere in the town!" Twilight said almost to a yell.
"Well I heard that you said you were to busy to look and you could care less because you knew I was going to be found sooner or later!" Applejack argued.
"That is CRAZY ! I would never say something like that,that is horribly wrong!" Twilight said almost knocking her food down.
"Well I don't know.. I heard totally oposite of that I think I'm going to stick to it." Applejack said.
"Have fun sticking to lies Applejack, I honestly did care you were gone and I DID look everywhere,we don't have time to argue. Belive what you want but it isn't true.. I'm saying this from the heart." Twilight said this, and left it at this.

Twilight was about to confront Rainbow dash about this because she was almost positive that she told Applejack these lies. Applejack and Twilight kept looking at eachother in expresions that were hard to read. Rainbow dash began heading to the door but Twilight reminded her it just wasn't time to go just yet.
"Did you guys bring any materials we could use for the coming trip? Twilight asked politely.
"I did." Answered Applejack.

Applejack pulled out three water bottles and a 2 large sleeping bags from her large tote she was carrying.
"Two sleeping bags? There is three of us? Rainbow dash reminded.
"Well Twilight said to bring what we can, and that's all I had" Applejack reminded.
"Well I don't have a sleeping bag so who gets your extra? Rainbow dash asked.
"Hmm , Twilight do you have a sleeping bag? Applejack asked.
"No I don't I guess we will all have to pitch in a equal amount of money and get the third one." Twlight said.

The ponies shook there heads in agreement and went to clean there dishes, when they were done they left.

Discovery...

Chapter 1

~DISCOVERY~

It was another typical day for Twilight at school. As usaul in history class Twilight had no thought of actaully paying any attention, she was eaither day dreaming or drawing pictures. Twilight always wished her life was just a little more exciting... Then one moment the teacher said something that caught Twilights FULL attention. Her teacher was explaining how 1,000 years ago a group of slave ponies discovered a under ground world in Cobra cave. Twilight asked ,

" How long did it take for the slave ponies to find Cobra cave?"
The teacher replied , " Very good question , It took about 45 days or so before they found the cave . "
Twilight said , " If they were slave ponies they must of been poor , So how did they manage to have food or supplies?"

The teacher wasn't sure , So Twilight finshed with her questions and let the teacher contiue.

About 10 minutes later Twilights friend Applejack asked her , " How come you are so interested in this Cobra cave thing?"
Twilight said , " Well you know how my life is boring without any excitement.. right?"
Applejack said , " Your life isnt boring , Will you just get on with your point!"
Twilight said, " I have an i dea , But I'm to emabaressed to tell you.."
Applejack finally stopped talking to Twilight and left her alone , she did not want to argue with her . But she knew soon she would find out sooner or later.

After that, the teacher annouced to the class , " Class don't forget you have a quiz on Cobra Cave tomorrow , here's your hint the slave ponies had to dig 15 ft. down in the cave ."

Twilight looked puzzled , She was thinking ,, How come they had to dig 15 ft. when they arrived at the cave.
Rainbow dash ( Someone Twilight rarely speaks to) came up to Twilight and said , " Pretty Mysterious huh?" And the class started to laugh... Twilight thought .. How is that funny??? Applejack came up to Twilight and told her it was okay and they were just joking.. But Twilight was still curious why they were making fun of her .

Later that day, When Twilight was at home , She went ahead and called rainbow dash (Long story in how she has her number) Rainbow dash , Instead of saying hello said " Who is this"
"Twilight"
" How do you have my number!"
"long story..."
" Well it's worth listening too"
Umm , Applejack gave it to me."
" I know your lying but i'm not going to argue with you..."
"Okay , Can I ask you something?"
" Yes if thats why you called then get on with it"
" Okay I wanted to know why today in class why the whole class started laughing when you were finshed talking to me"
"No reason"
" Now that I think of it Rainbow dash , Why are you being so terribly rude to me when I barely know you?"
" Seems like you know me enough to have my NUMBER!!"

Twilight ran up to her room furiuosly! She shouted " I HATE RAINBOW DASH!!!" Twilight was so angry she went straight to bed.
