"OmiMahCelestia!" Rarity looked around the mountain pass, and it was pretty narrow.

"Can somepony tell me why we're here again?" Fluttershy wanted to go home, but she thought it was best to stay with her friends. After all, she needed coffee too.

"Fluttershi, we're her fer yer cafe. Right, Pinkie?" Applejack turned to Pinkie, who was trotting behind Spike.

"Riiiiiiiiiight! CAFE IS THE BEST THING TO HAmmphhdppmhh-" Pinkie was immediately cut off by Rainbow Dash, who put a hoof in her mouth.

"That's enough Pinks. Now let's get our coffee. Speaking of coffee, what do ya girls like?"

"Medium House Roast," Twilight said.

"Cupcake Surprise!!" Pinkie added. Is that even a coffee? Twilight thought. Hmmm. I'll go read about it in my books. Maybe I can even write an article!

"Apple Frappe House Roast," Applejack thought of her coffee machine again.

"Sweet Light Crush," Rarity said.

"Rainbow Roast, With many different beans inside," Rainbow Dash held an imaginary coffee cup.

"I'd like just some... uhhh...actually any type of coffee is fine for me," Fluttershy added. They walked up the mountain, and saw the first coffee bean.

"Yay!!! Coffee for me! That's mine!"

Pinkamena Diana Pie got: 1 x coffee bean 10 x bits +1 level LEVEL UP!

Um, ok. You can have yours first. Twilight thought. After some walking, they still couldn't find any coffee beans. Pinkie already finished her cup of coffee, and was jumping for more. Twilight sighed, and Rarity turned around to see her walking back.

"Wait! Darling, don't go yet! We still have much more land to explore anyways." Rarity put a hoof on Twilight's shoulder, and she turned back.

"Look, we have been walking for- well, I suppose if anyone has any shortcuts? Maybe we can cut some corners so we can go go back to our own ways. I still have to finish a report to Celestia." Twilight asked.

"Well I suppose Fluttershy and I could to a mountain flyover, and maybe see something that we could come back down and tell you. I'm the fastest flyer in all of Equestria, after all." Rainbow Dash suggested. Fluttershy blushed.

"And we could have done that ages ago." Twilight rolled her eyes.

"Well, you never asked, so I just got an idea."

"Any more suggestions, anypony?"

"I suppose I could use my gem finding spell, which I practiced a lot, so now I could find anything that we missed. We could do that with Applejack and Pinkie Pie, too."

Rarity got: +1 Ability: Item finding +1 Level LEVEL UP! 10 x bits

"And we could have done that ages ago." Twilight rolled her eyes. Why do I have the feeling that my line was copy/pasted? She thought. "Anyways, that should work, and I could get back to my studies faster with just a cup of coffee to boost me up. Ready everypony?"

"YUP!"

"YAY I FOUND A BEAN ITS SO TINY ITS MINEEEEEEEE" Pinkie grabbed the bean.

"No, you already got one. This one, we could give to Rainbow Dash, so she could fly faster with a boost from a cup of coffee." Twilight said.

"Alrighty then. Dashie gets one!"Pinkie Pie handed the bean up to Rainbow Dash.

Rainbow Dash got: 1 x coffee bean 10 x bits +1 Level LEVEL UP!

Rainbow Dash flew off, leaving a rainbow trail. Pinkie jumped, trying to catch it. "Really Pinkie? Sometimes, I just don't really know about you."Spike commented.

"Alright! So now we have only 3 beans. I can't believe it!" Rarity said.

"You know that we could always ask the Princesses for help right?" Twilight suggested.

"Twilight! You silly filly, you think the Princ-" Pinkie Pie was stopped yet again by Rainbow Dash.

"...do care about coffee? Of course they do. they drink tea most of the time though..."Rainbow Dash added.

"Ya no, it's kinda worth a shot. Ain't no bad things, goin' t' happen? Ah don't think so." Applejack straightened her hat.

"We've been missing coffee here too, the Royal Guards say the kitchens are out of coffee too. But, I drink coffee, my sister drinks tea. I guess I could show you where you could get coffee. This is where I got coffee." Celestia pulled out a map, and unrolled it.

"You can go to Vanhoover, they always have coffee beans. If not, then go to the Neighagra Falls forest. That forest is known to have the best coffee beans within. These are the two places where we always get coffee if we don't have any." Celestia rolled the map again and made it vanish with a "Poof".

"Thanks!" Twilight waved and teleported to Vanhoover with the other mane 6.trotted outside with the Mane 6. They made their way to the train station, and waited. and waited. and waited. and waited. and waited. and waited. and waited. and SHUT UP

Mane 6 got: +1 Level LEVEL UP! +10 x bits +1 x map +1 Ability: Use map compass+meter +1 Health Bar +1 Mana Bar +1 Special Bar | Pinkie got: +20 cupcakes!

A faint "LULU WHERES MAH CAKE" could be heard in the distance.

CHAPTER 3

The Ponyville Express sped through acres of endless green terrain, with the tracks burning of friction. The Mane 6 were in the main car, and watched as the train chugged. They were heading to Vanhoover, the city of- "Why is the train stopping?"Twilight broke the silence, suddenly becoming well aware of what was happening. The train was stopping. It had slowed down to a stop, and the Mane 6 looked out the windows to see what was going on. Nothing was to be of interest, so they got off the train. A "Welcome to Unicorn Range" sign was on the right side, with a picture of a unicorn. The surrounding grasslands were just like any old prairie. Tan colored grasslands. Boring. They walked up to the locomotive, and saw the engine smoking. The cover was opened, revealing the machinery inside. The train pony glanced up, "Sorry. Guess we're going to be here for a while." Rainbow sighed. Suddenly, Derpy popped out of the train. Of course. She was an alicorn princess, and so was Twilight, Luna, Celestia, Cadence, and all the other alicorns. She had the power to summon muffins. How cool.

Mane 6 got: +1 x Derpy NEW CHARACTER!

Current stats: [3-1 book-20][4-3 flowers-40][2-1 map-10][4-20 cupcakes | 1 coffee bean-30][3-1 coffee bean-20][2- -0]

She summoned three muffins, and ate two. Then, she held one up for Twilight to eat.

"Oh! No, it's fine. You can have it."

"You sure?"

"Yes, or you could give it to somepony else like the train pony. He looks like he's working pretty hard. Want to give him a boost?"

"Sure. I would be glad to help out somepony in need."

OMN NOMN NOMN The train pony sure eats loud. Looking past the prairie, the mountain range towered over the train. Derpy summoned a muffin (shaped) cookie, a muffin hat, a muffin balloon(one you can ride in), a muffin clock, a muffin SHUT UP

nearby. The Mane 6 were so surprised, as Princess Derpy could do all that. Twilight looked at the balloon, and got an idea.

"Why don't we ride in the muffin balloon instead of the train?"

"Great idea! But it goes terribly slow..."

"We can let Rainbow Dash pull it." Rainbow Dash groaned, but agreed. She tied a rope to the front, and tied the other end to herself. The others got on, and Rainbow Dash took off. She flew past the mountains in a blast, and the other five Mane 6 had to hold onto the cords to stay in the basket.

An arrow suddenly flew up from the ground, and struck the basket. Rarity screamed, and another arrow hit a cord. So accurate, whoever or what ever is throwing these arrows. But, We must be careful. One strike on the giant muffin and we go down. Rarity screamed as a third one hit a sand bag. Sand fell out, flowing freely out. Now, the balloon was slightly tilted. Applejack cringed, and leaned to the side it was tilting off. One arrow struck the muffin, and muffins came flying out through the hole. Muffins??? I thought that was helium. The balloon descended fast, and muffins now covered the Mane 6. Rainbow Dash struggled to keep the balloon up. After all, pulling 6 ponies, a muffin filled balloon, and a basket, was very hard for only one pegasus. The balloon landed hard, and a few griffons were standing upon the wreck. He took one look at Rainbow Dash, and walked away.

"Well..."
