It was a warm sunny day in Ponyville. The kind of day that would make you do anything than listen to Twilight Sparkle blab on about a new spell she was going to do. this is exactly how Rainbow Dash felt. '' Twilight can you please explain to me why we are even doing this!'' Rainbow groaned as she twirled a lock of rainbow mane around her hoof.
The lavender alicorn sighed and looked at her friend '' Rainbow I really want to test this spell out if this works i can write a report to the princess on how it worked and than Celestia will be very impressed!'' Twilight smiled at the thought of her mentor being impressed with her '' in fact this spell was found in a box deep within the Canterlot archives and Celestia has no idea why it was there and what it does!'' Twilight felt her crown start to fall of her head and raising a purple hoof she fixed it
'' Well I do not want to do this, but if this is important than ok.'' groaned Dash sighing in defeat she couldn't believe she let Egghead win! Rainbow looked down at her hooves and thought '' Ever since Twi became a princess she's been acting like she knows what to do and what we have to do!'' Dash couldn't believe how everyone was so in awe of their newest princess she was still there friend right? All of a sudden Dash felt something was missing in her life something that Twilight had with Flash the new guard, but she pushed the thought out of her head
Twilight grinned in victory and ushered Rainbow over to her friends. '' Alright everyone i do not know what this spell will do, but we are all in this together, right girls?'' '' Right!'' her five friends screamed except for Dash who could only groan and shake her head in defeat.'' Okay girls let me get the spell ready and we'll do this and see what happens!'
'' What will happen though and what if we lose our wings or horns or Darling your Tiara!'' Rarity squealed pointing a perfectly manicured hoof to the golden object resting on Twilights head.
Twilight ignored Rarity and slowly closed her eyes and charged her power into her horn '' 1.. 2.. 3!'' screamed Twilight. Dash braced herself in fear of what would happen and admitted defeat. White light spread through the room and everything went black.
'' Ugh that hurt.'' grumbled Dash as she slowly regained consciousness. Her gaze looked around at the thick forest that surrounded her all she could think about how hairy her leg felt. '' What are you thinking Dash your friends are possibly injured and all you can think about is that you have a paw instead of a hoof!'' her mind screamed at her as she thought about her friends. Wait paw? Dash looked down at her legs and instead of a light blue hoof she had paws! '' Oh my Celestia!'' Dash shrieked as she ran to a small stream and saw a light gray cat with amber eyes instead of herself.
'' Rainbow what in tarnation happened!'' yelled Applejack who was a orange cat with green eyes. '' You better have a good explanation and the reason why were cats!'' she screamed as her claws unsheathed and she glowered at Dash acting as if this mess was her fault.
Rarity had turned her head to get a better view of her surroundings. A light rustling shocked the white cat into softly hissing ''Who's there?''. What she didn't notice though was that a large thorn bush was quivering as if something inside it.
Dash kept yelling in annoyance and even hissed when Rarity wasn't helping them. Little did she know to golden eyes were staring at her waiting to strike.
'' Agh!'' Dash shrieked as a cat launched onto her. Dash barely managed to roll the male over so she was on top on him, Sweet Celestia he was cute. Amber eyes stared at her and the tom hissed. ''Oh! uh sorry'' Dash said feeling heat spread across her pelt '' I didn't mean to''
The tom slowly got up and and stared her briefly resting his eyes on her flank before looking up at her. '' Its fine I'm Lionblaze by the way who are you?''. He looked at all of the cats around him all of them looked strange especially the bouncing pinkish orange one that was yelling something about cupcakes.
''Im Rainbow Dash! I'm really sorry if we bothered you or your territory.''
Lionblaze sighed ''Its fine are you guys new here?'' he asked still looking at Dash.
'' Oh uh yeah! We need a place to stay for the night and we don't know any nearby places for a den, can you help us?'' Dash said while pulling a awkward smile '' Stupid!'' she thought while mentally slapping herself '' Next time Dash play it cool!''
'' Actually I can help'' replied Lionblaze who walked over to a large thicket of bushes. Dash wondered what the heck he was doing when she saw him pull out a dead mouse! Fluttershy squealed as she fell onto Rarity who had to tickle her to keep her awake, Dash tried to keep her cool, but she had to agree it was disgusting. Lionblaze ignored Fluttershy and beckoned with his tail for them to follow him '' Lets get my Clans camp we can get you cleaned up by my brother the medicine cat and I can introduce you to my leader!''
Dash had no idea what he was talking about, but Twilight was listening intently asking fierce questions and wishing that she had brought her notebook to scribble this down. Dash looked through the forest as they walked through it. She looked in awe in how much there was of it! ,but throughout the corner of her eye she saw a dark hole in the ground. '' Whats that?'' Dash asked as Lionblaze turn to see what it was. His ears flattened and eyes went dark. He turned telling the others to follow him. and the others walked as fast as they could through the forest until Lionblaze came to a stop, and told them to look down. Dash gaped it was the largest quarry she had ever seen! Cats of all sizes were walking through it and doing there duties. A large brown tabby tom stood on the top of a large ledge giving orders, but soon padded down and nuzzled a ginger she cat who's belly was starting to swell. A very old tom cat was laying by a honeysuckle bush with tree branches woven into it, Finally Dash's eyes came to look at a large bramble bush with tree roots tangled inside of it. Cats were running up with brambles in their mouthes and were repairing the den.'' Woah!'' she said '' You live here?'' Lionblaze nodded and Dash continued to gawk at it until a yowl sliced through the air
'' Rogues! Thunderclan Attack!'' Dash gulped as dozens of cats came running towards them.

my first Fanfic! i hope you like it because i wanted
Dash gulped it seemed all of the cats were out to get her and her friends. She couldn't even get a chance to launch onto one of the cats when one pounced on her. '' Get of of me!'' Dash screamed, but the cat didn't answer only giving a angry hiss and sliding its claws out.
'' Stop!'' a voice said spreading throughout the cliffside. Dash barely managed to look up and see the dark brown tabby tom walk up and stare down at her.
'' Lionblaze tell me who are these rogues and what are the doing in ThunderClan territory?'' The brown cat asked his dark tail twitching in annoyance and curiosity
The golden tom bowed his head to the cat '' Bramblestar I found these cats while I was hunting on my own''. Lionblaze paused for a moment to glance at Dash before continuing his story to the leader '' They said they needed a place to live for a while and I thought they could stay in our Clan and train.'' All the cats around him gasped,but a gray tabby was silent his cloudy blue eyes focused on Dash.
Bramblestar looked over at his bickering clan mates and silenced them with one glare. Turning back to Lionblaze he asked '' What are these cats names I need to know so I can make their Apprentice names when they start their training.''
Lionblaze stared at his leader before speaking '' There names are Applejack, Twilight Sparkle, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Rarity and Rainbow Dash'' Dash looked up at the leader and shivered hoping they would be accepted.
Bramblestar nodded and waved his tail '' Come you six lets get you to Jayfeather's den and get you cleaned up Lionblaze you escort them,'' the leader turned and padded away the ginger cat racing to follow.
Dash slowly walked up to Lionblaze '' Wow that was awesome! I thought for sure there we were going to get creamed!'' Dash nervously flicked her tail as Lionblaze's gaze went puzzled.
'' Its fine I really wanted you guys to join anyway I mean the more the merrier!'' Lionblaze smiled down at Dash who was trying to fight back from screaming in joy. Lionblaze continued '' I hope you get a good mentor since you look like a decent fight-'' Lionblaze froze and Dash turned to see a angry gray she-cat walking towards her.
'' Lionblaze!'' the cat screamed glaring at him and Dash '' Aren't you supposed to be guiding these cats to Jayfeather! and stop chatting with this she-cat!'' The female huffed and turned away grumbling about males
'' Geez Lionblaze who is that cat and who made poop in her food?'' Dash asked looking up at the tom.
'' Oh thats Cinderheart my mate or well kind of she can be a bit bossy but she's just tired lately.'' Lionblaze said not noticing that Dash had a surprised look on her face that soon darkened, but she followed the tom not wanting to lag her friends behind.
Dash looked around at the huge camp that surrounded her she wished that one of the large dens were open so that her paws could relax and she could get some sleep. Finally after what seemed like forever Dash walked into a large stone cave and layer down on the soft sand to relax a bit.
''What are you doing!'' Dash looked up to see a gray cat his blue eyes boring into hers

Yeah I made this so I hope you like!
Dash stared at the tom who had just appeared out of nowhere. He was a gray tabby with a sleek coat and blue cloudy eyes. Dash guessed that he was blind, but if he managed to sniff out where she was. ''He must have good senses'' Dash thought '' Like most disabled ponies''
'' Like I said before''. the tom said his tail lashing in annoyance '' What are you doing laying on the floor!''
Dash looked nervously up at the cat before uttering '' W- well um I kind of fell over since Im really tired from walking and the floor felt so comfy so I thought i would lay down.'' She turned to her friends to see if they could provide additional help to what she was saying, but they only stared. '' Wow great way for sticking up to me!'' Dash thought in annoyance.
The cat sighed and looked over to her '' Im sorry I snapped at you.My name is Jayfeather your medicine cat.'' He paused for a second before pointing to a spot on the ground with his tail '' Now sit down while I tend to your wounds.'' Dash sat down on the spot on the ground feeling relief wash over to her as she relaxed her body by sitting. '' Briarlight !'' Jayfeather yelled across the cave to a brown lump of fur that Dash hadn't seen before drag itself over to the cat.
'' Yes Jayfeather?'' the cat asked as she walked or dragged herself over. She was a small brown she cat with an elegant frame and pretty amber eyes, but behind her were legs that she could not stand on. The cat looked over at Dash and smiled '' Hi I'm Briarlight! I'm Jayfeather's assistant so if you need anything tell me!'' Briarlight turned over to Jayfeather and asked '' what do you need Jayfeather?''
Jayfeather angled his head towards her and smiled '' Briarlight I need some dock leaves for Rainbow dash's wounds can you grab some?''
Briarlight literally dragged herself as fast as she could to fulfill his wishes. A few moments later she was at his side and asking what he needed.
