The Forgotten Orchard

"Girls, slow down. Girls, GIRLS!!! Ah cant carry all this stuff alone. Ah think we each need ta carry somethin." A sweaty, and extremely weighed down Apple Bloom said.

"I planned on helping, I just needed my saddlebag first. I couldn't possibly carry anything without it," Sweetie Belle said in her best Rarity voice.

"Sheesh Apple Bloom. You know our saddle bags are at the tree house. I promise we will help as soon as we get there."

She rolled her orange eyes. Letting out a sarcastic sigh. She was small, like all fillies should be, but her she was built like her family. The Apple family. They were known to be very hardy ponies. Taller than your everyday pony. Apple Bloom wasn't taller, just yet. But her body was beginning to put on the muscle her family was well known for. Her eyes, although not green, were still just as entrancing as her sisters. Those orange irises, the very same orange as Celestias sunrise. She could easily be identified as an Apple family relative.

Her friends, however, could not have come from more different family lines. The girly girl or the group, Sweetie Belle, Was begining to thin out. Her legs were a little lengthy when compared to Apple Blooms and Scootaloo. Her coat was sleek and shiny, and as soft as a newborn fillies. Her mane was luxurious and full of volume, her green eyes shimmered like emeralds. But what could one expect from the little sister to Ponyvilles own Rarity?

Scootaloo was a different story entirely. She was plain. She looked just like your average filly at her age. Except the wild fire in her eyes. She worked so hard, every day to be like her idol, Rainbow Dash. The coolest weather pony in all of Equestria. No matter how hard Scoots tried, Rainbow was always ahead by 20%. Her eyes would never put out their flame. One day, she always told herself, One day I'll be just like her.

When they reached the clubhouse, Apple Bloom dropped all the supplies in the floor.

"Girls, Ah need a break before we go any further."

" Make it a quick one, I don't want to miss anything.." Scootaloo said with a smirk.

After about an hour, the Cutie Mar Crusaders were on their way. On their way to the forgotten Orchard. To discover what secrets were hidden inside those dark tangled branches and roots.

When they reached the edge of the fenced off orchard, they stopped. Their knees were shaking, a faint gloom of terror in their eyes.

"Are y'all sure y'all wanna go in there? Ah'm perfectly fine with going some place else."

"Pssshhhh. Look who's being a scaredy pony.. Me and Sweetie will go without you.. If you are jsut too scared."

"No ah'm not. I was just thinking Sweetie Belle might not want to go in.. Right Sweetie? Sweetie?"

Before they could finish argueing, Sweetie Belle was already crawling in between the boards on the fence. It was as if someone, or something, was calling her. She felt this strange tugging in her chest, as if she needed to be in there. Scootaloo and Apple Bloom hastily ran after her. When they caught up to her, her eyes looked dazed and confused. Her mane was messy from twigs snagging it.

"How in Equestria were you moving so fast? One minute you were beside us, the next, you were almost so far we couldn't see you?"

"I..I.. I honestly don't know. I felt, I felt this pulling, a calling almost. I'm not sure what it was. But there is DEFINITELY somepony else out here."

"Ya really think so? But ah don't see anypony."

"Maybe I was just dreaming," she giggled."in that trance I was in. maybe I just dreamed somepony was here."

She knew the truth. Somepony was out there, and they were watching the three young fillies.
