The Forgotten Orchard

Lost, cold, and tired, the three fillies, and added shell of a filly, came to a stop. They had found some flat rocks sticking out of the mud, perfect for camping on. As they climbed up onto the rocks, Diamond Tiara almost slid off Apple Blooms back. With quick as a flash moves, Scootaloo managed to catch her and help put her on the rocks.

"Well Ah guess it's a good thing we brought camping stuff. And food, Although if we run out, looks like there are some apples growing out here. So we will at least have those."

"I'm so tired, and I want a bath, and my bed. This is horrible, Why did we come here? "

"You were the one who walked in. Remember?"

"Oh yea.."

The girls quickly set up a small camp, and a small fire. They laid Diamond Tiara next to the fire, and managed to get her to drink some water. She was too weak to chew food, So the girls thought maybe water would be enough. They all laid down, near the warmth and light of the fire. Exhaustion soon set in, as the three lost fillies soon fell into a restless slumber.

" OH SWEET CELESTIA!!!! SWEETIE BELLE!!! SWEETIE BELLE?!?! WHERE ARE YOU?!?!?!"

Apple Bloom awoke to the sound of Scootaloos frantic screaming. As her eyes opened she realized Sweetie Belle and Diamond Tiara were gone. As if they just disappeared into thin air.

"Git yer saddle bag, we are going to look for her!!," Apple Bloom yelled at scootaloo.

"I.. I woke up and she was gone. Just gone. What is this place, what's going on? Apple Bloom.. Why the buck is this place even on your farm???"

"ah don't know, but if we want to find her, we got to stay calm and work together." as calmly as any panicked filly could say.

And with that, the two set off. Hoping to find their friend.

The Orchard was more of an abandoned forest. And as the day went on, the air become heavier and heavier. They were just trudging along the best they could. Feeling like they were barely making it. Scootaloos ears shot up.. Her eyes became wide with fear. She began frantically looking about. As if someone was there. As if it all became clear what Sweetie Belle had heard.

"Scoots, are ya ok? hey!! scootaloo, talk to me.. SCOOTS?!?!"

Before she could stop her, Scootaloo took off running as fast as she could. It almost looked as if she was, flying?
But, no, that couldn't be, thought Apple Bloom. She doesn't know how to fly yet..

Scootaloo was definitely flying. But she wasn't doing the lfying herself.

She felt hooves grab her. Hooves she couldn't see. But they were there. And they picked her up like she was nothing, only to fly off with her through the dense trees.

Apple Bloom couldn't scream, she couldn't move. Her body was stiff from such a shock. Seeing Scootaloo just take off flying like that, in a total state of fear. It was too much for her to process. She had no idea what just happened, or if she would ever see her friends again. Or her family. Her wonderfully happy family. The ponies she cared about.

If only they would have listened and stayed away. She would still be there with all of them.
