//Jake\

He walks to Twilights house with Bloom on his right shoulder and Sweetie on his left one. Scootaloo decided to ride her scooter over because she is 'too cool for that'. I doubt this filly would think she actually is the bravest pony in Equestria. If I could vote, I'd say Rainbow Dash. I didn't pay much attention to it and continued my (our) walk. I was still worried about Apple Bloom not being fully recovered. She has mentioned that Applejack was the world to her. I continued thinking about this until I heard Sweetie shout.

"There it is!" She yelled and I winced when the words hit my eardrums. "Hehe... sorry." She said with a small blush on her face. I patted her head while being careful not to throw her off by accident.

I examined the house that Twilight lived in as the three rushed to the house, leaving me in the dust.

"Hey wait up!" I called out and ran after them. I heard a light laughter coming from my left and I turned to see the two brats from when I first met the CMC. I rolled my eyes and kept running to the treehouse which was a library.

I reached the library and stood next to the three fillies and examined the house as Scootaloo knocked on the door.

"Huh, a tree that is a library with a unicorn and a baby dragon living in it, usual day for me." I said remembering where I was and what was living in this world.

We waited about half a minute and Twilight answered the door. She immediately looked up at me and signalled us inside. The CMC hopped inside and I walked inside. There was something about this whole pony thing I wasn't getting, are they being cute on purpose? I shrugged and watched a pacing Twilight. She stopped and faced me, took a deep breath, and said what her plan was.

"Me and my friends are going to fight this 'predator'." She said with a confident look. My eyes widened and I opened my mouth to say something, but nothing came out. I was trying to gather what she had said in my head. I looked at her and shook my head.

"Its too dangerous, you saw what that thing was capable of right? You saw it... you know..." I said and she looked down and nodded.

"But we will be ready, we are going to prepare for this. I know where it's stationed." She said with a stare.

"I don't see why you need my approval on this." I said and looked over at the three fillies whispering to each other.

"Because I need you to come with. You were close to killing it and you're the one with weapons." She said looking away at the book she had on a desk. "We need a protector." She said looking at me.

I thought about what she said. She sounded promising and I trusted her. I nodded and looked at the fillies. "Who will look after them?" I asked and she she looked around.

"I suppose I could have Spike watch them."

"Who is Spike?"

"A dragon."

"Typical." I said looking at the three again who were giggling. I looked at Apple Bloom and she looked up at me and smiled, I did the same. "Alright, I will go, but only because I know there being watched." I said looking at Twilight again. She beamed with happiness that their journey can begin.

//Two days later as Apple Bloom\

I looked at Spike with the best puppy dog eyes look I could give and Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo did the same.

"Ugh, fine." He said giving up and me and my friends smiled. "But only because I'm a nice dragon." He said praising himself.

He took us out the door and across the street to the candy shop which was ran by BonBon, a friend of my sister. I choked up a little but followed into the shop and Scoots and Sweetie Belle were already looking around for a piece of candy to take back. I took my time, me being the responsible filly I was, and picked an apple candy. We got our candy and Spike put three bits on the counter.

We had eaten our candy and Sweetie Belle got all hyped up. She just had to get the 'Sweet 'n Juicy' candy that made her go wild. I rolled my eyes and Sweetie Belle hopped in front of me and I swear her eyes were changing color.

"HiAppleBloom, haveyoueverwonderedwhythingsarenamedwhattheyareorwhywehavenames?" She said so fast that I couldn't understand so I just nodded. "Ohijustloveaskingquestionsaboutthingsthatareaboutotherthingsthatgivememorequestionsto-" then she just passed out on the floor. I sighed and brought her a blanket and covered her with it. I looked over at Scootaloo who was looking out a window.

"Howdie Scoots, what's up?" I said walking over to her.

She sighed and asked me a question. "Aren't you worried about what might happen to Jake?" She said not moving an inch.

I looked down. "Of course ah worry." I said looking up. "But he promised he wouldn't die for me."

"Yeah but, there is one thing." She said looking nervous.

I looked at her. "Scoots, what did you do?!" I said with some fear.

I watched as Scootaloo walked over to a box and opened it. Inside it was Jake's army jacket and on top, was his shotgun and grenade launcher, or at least that's what he called it. I looked up at Scootaloo and my face was boiling. I heard her gulp and she started backing up.
