MLP STORY BOOK: Collection Of One Shots and Short Stories

(This is Lunar Light)

It was the end of the school day for all the fillies and colts in Ponyville and a little filly named Lunar Light was fluttering home. She was new to Ponyville. She was taken in by a stallion unicorn when a traveling orphanage came through town. She stopped by a veggie stand in town square and got some stuff her family needed for dinner. She fluttered inside her house and landed in the kitchen. "Hey little one" a stallion greeted. "Hey Fire Moon" she said as she galloped to him and gave the grey unicorn a hug. "Did you get the food we needed for my home made stew?" Fire Moon asked.

"Yep" she reached into her little saddle bag and handed him the small bag of vegetables. That's when she heard little coos and ran to the living room. There she saw her three little cousins Flash Drive, Ember, and Pixel Heart. "Was Aunt Fire Heart here today?" Lunar asked.

"Yes, we are keeping the foals for the weekend while she takes care of some things" Fire Moon said. Lunar Light gave each foal a kiss on the head and put her saddle bag in her room. "Can I go to the park?" she asked walking back into the kitchen.

"Sure, just be back before dinner" Fire Moon said. She hugged him and flew off. Meanwhile Twilight and Applejack were on their way to the park too. "Twi, are you sure this is a good idea?" Applejack asked.

"Yes, it'll help build their investigation skills and help them become more adventurous". Twilight answered.

"if you say so" Applejack said as they reached the fountain in the park. "Excuse me fillies and colts!" Twilight called. All the little ponies in the park gathered around. Lunar Light Fluttered to the front of the crowd. "I have come up with a fun adventure for you all, if you parents say yes that it is" Twilight announced.

"Adventure?" Lunar questioned.

"Yes, a scavenger hunt!" Twilight smiled, "I had my friend Rainbow Dash hide a box of goodies around Ponyville somewhere and it's up to you to find it. Just take of one these permission slips from my friend Applejack and come back here tomorrow". All the fillies and colts rushed to get a form. 'May I have one?" Lunar Light asked.

"Of course little one" Applejack said, as Lunar took a form and flew off. She could smell the stew when she walked in the house. She walked into the kitchen just as Fire Moon finished cooking. "hey, you're back in time for dinner" Fire Moon says getting two bowls out of the cabinet. "Yeah" Lunar said hopping onto her chair as he floats a bowl of veggie stew to her. "Hey Fire Moon can you sign this?" she asked pushing the permission form to him as he sets down. "What is it?" Fire Moon asked.

"Princess Twilight is throwing this scavenger hunt for all the fillies and colts around Ponyville" Lunar Light said. Fire Moon read the form. "You're ok with being out there searching day and night" Fire asked. Lunar Light nodded her head. "Ok then you can do it" he said as he signed the form. "Thank you!" Lunar said and started eating her soup. The next day after school Fire Moon headed to the park with Lunar Light. "Please give all your forms to Applejack everypony" Twilight ordered watching all the excited little ponies run around. After all the ponies gathered around Twilight explained what to do. "Ok now when Applejack calls your name you will go up to Rarity and get your supply bag. Each bag holds a bottle of water, a bag of food, a flashlight, and a map of Ponyville". One by one Applejack called each little ponies name. Lunar watched as Sweetie Belle, Apple Bloom, and Scootaloo put bags together as Rarity passed them out. "Lunar Light" Applejack finally called. Lunar galloped over to Rarity and she used her magic to strap the supply bag to her. "There you are Darling" she said.

"Thanks Miss Rarity" Lunar said and Flew back to Fire Moon. After all the ponies had their bags Twilight cleared her throat. "OK guys here is what your map looks like" she used her magic to float a wide map of Ponyville in the air, "See the red dots? They indicate a rest stop. Each of my friends will be at one to make sure you're safe as you hunt". Fire Moon raised a hoof. "Yes?" Twilight answered.

"So this game is safe right? " he asked, "no danger at all?".

"None" Twilight said, "so are my little ponies ready?" All the fillies and colts cheered, "Then the hunt starts now!"

"Remember to report back to the park by night time tomorrow!" Applejack called as the fillies and colts started off. Lunar looked at Fire Moon. "You have fun and be careful" She nodded and hugged him before flying off. She took out her map and looked at it. She decided to search town square first. She landed right by the pony statue that is part of the little fountain. She searched around it first. She didn't find anything but, a bunch of wishing pennies. Then she tried looking in the tents around town square, but found nothing. That's when remembered town hall. She trotted there and saw the mayor talking to Time Turner. She heard something about a town clock. Then she saw two fillies with the same bag she had and she hid so they wouldn't think to look where she was. She watched the two earth fillies pass and walked into the hall. It was empty and a little spooky. She looked up and didn't really see any place the box could be so she searched the seats. She was about to give up when under the last bench she saw a gray colored box. "That's it!" she said as she trotted to the bench and pulled the box out. "Wonder what Twilight put in here" She asks herself as she opens the box and tons of baby spiders crawl out. Lunar screamed and flew out of town hall and didn't stop until she reached the bridge. "Well, let's try this again" she said as she pulled out her map. She decided to search the school house. She trotted down the road until she reached the little red building. She made sure no other hunters where around and went inside. She searched the supply bens and the closet with everything in it. Just as she finished searching the teacher's desk she heard more fillies coming. She opened a window and Flew out. An hour later she found herself at the train station. She was starting to doubt she'd ever find the box. Then she noticed her stomach growl. She checked her bag for the food that was packed. She pulled out a medium sized white bag. She opened it and inside was tons of Pinkie Pie's hoof made rock candy. "Score!" she said as she took a red piece out of the bag and bit into it. She loved the crunching sound it made. She ate the last bit of the piece of candy she had and sipped some water. She noticed then it was dark so she got out her flash light and turned it on. She started to walk toward the Ponyville hospital. She was a little scared because she had to walk passed the everfree forest. As she passed the entrance of the forest she thought she heard somepony. She flashed her light down the entrance path, but didn't see anypony. She didn't know why but, she knew she had to go into the forest. She mustered up all her courage and headed down the path. She kept quiet and made sure to keep her ears open to any sound. She came to a fork in the road. She couldn't decide which way to go. Then she heard the voice again. It sounded like it was coming from down the left road. She started down that road hoping that the voice didn't belong to some crazy pony. She made it half way down the road when she heard growling. She saw a timberwolf out the corner of her eye and took of running. She could hear the wolf right behind her. She was so busy running she tripped over a log and dropped her flashlight. She heard the bulb of the flashlight shatter and then it went super dark. She couldn't even see her own hoof in front of her face. She heard the wolf growling and took off in any direction she could. She could hear the wolf not far behind her. Then suddenly a ray of moonlight shown down. It was bright enough to show her a cave up ahead. "Oh thank Luna!" she galloped as fast as she could toward the cave. She entered the cave and hid behind a big rock. She watched as the wolf searched around and then ran off when it heard a twig snap. She back trotted into the cave further. She wasn't sure how deep the cave went. Then she heard the mysterious whisper again. Only it was closer this time. "Hello?" she called, "is somepony in here?". She didn't get a response. She decided to walk straight in the direction the voice came from. She had been walking deeper and deeper when she noticed a big boulder at what she guessed was the end of the cave. She also noticed there seemed to be a sort of glow coming through the cracks around the boulder. She examined the boulder and thought if she flapped her wings hard enough she could pull it out of the wall. She placed her hooves on the huge rock and flapped her wings as hard as she could and pulled. She stopped to take a breather and pulled again. She heard a snap and her left wing recoiled in pain "OW!" she screamed as she landed and tried to stretch her wing. That's when she noticed the small rocks around the boulder fall. She slowly hopped onto the boulder and examined the small rocks. She realized with a little pulling she could clear them out. She grabbed the biggest rock and started to pull. After what seemed like forever the rock came free. Then others fell. Then she started to pull more of the rocks out until she could jump down the whole. She leaped down. When she landed and looked up what she saw amazed her. It was a big statue, of a pegasus pony. It looked like a mare. She circled around the statue and noticed a picture carved in her flank of a sun and cloud. That's when she noticed the bright light again. She looked in the corner of the room and there was a piece of stone on the ground. It was a clear multicolored jewel in the shape of the same symbols on the statue's flank. She wondered if anypony else knew this statue was here. She went to fly out of the cave, but the pain in her wing reminded her she couldn't. "I'm never gonna get out of here" she said to herself as she pouted. Then the cave seemed to glow a bright red, "how did y'all get stuck down there?" she heard a familiar voice say. She looked up where the whole was and smiled, "Fire Moon!". She never thought she's be so happy to see his weird glowing mane.

"Are ya ok?" he asked.

"No, my wing is hurt" she said pointing to her right wing. Fire Moon looked up at the statue. "How did that get in the middle of an everfree cave?"

"I don't know" Lunar said, "but I think we should tell Twilight". Fire Moon nodded and lifted the filly up with his magic and placed her on his back. Later that day Twilight and her friends were in the cave looking at the statue. "Do you think it's a statue of a famous pony from way back when?" Applejack asked.

"It could be" Twilight said looking at the base of the statue, "her name was Calming Winds".

"Ever heard of her Twilight?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"No, but I will research and see if she comes up anywhere" Twilight promised.

"What about the stone?" Lunar asked holding up the glowing rock. Twilight looked at it. Then looked back at the carved cutie mark on the statue. "That's weird" She said as she kept looking back from the stone to the statue. "What is it Darling?" Rarity asked looking at her confused.

"The images on this stone, are exactly like the carved mark on the statue's flank" Twilight said as she held it up to the carving on the statue.

"Sounds like we have a mystery on our hooves" Applejack said.

"I'll meet you girls back at my library" Twilight said turning from her friends to Lunar Light, "and thank you for you telling us about this".

"I knew you needed to know" Lunar said smiling. Twilight smiled at the filly and walked over to the statue. She put her hooves on it and her horn glowed. Suddenly she and the statue were gone. "Let's get goin" Fire Moon said. As they walked out of the cave following Twilight's friends Lunar Light noticed a flash behind her. She looked and squealed. On her flank was a small treasure box. "MY CUTIE MARK!" she called clapping her hooves together.

"Looks like the special thing about you is discovering hidden things" Fire Moon said as they left the forest.
