Saving Two Kingdoms
Just a Normal Day
Previous ChapterIn Princess Twilight’s Castle it was just a normal day, Spike was walking around and checking off things on the checklist that Twilight gave him that morning. Spike was a baby dragon with purple and green scales and he is Twilight’s number one assistant. Twilight was catching up on some studying that she has missed. Twilight is also purple and she had a horn and a pair of wings. Her Cutie Mark is of a twinkling star with five other stars surrounding it. Rarity was once again cleaning the thrones and polishing them up. She is a beautiful white unicorn with with a twirling groomed mane and tail. Her Cutie Mark is three diamonds in a secession. And Pinkie Pie was just being Pinkie, blowing up balloons and making them fly around. Pinkie Pie is, well, pink with a pink curly mane and tail, and her Cutie Mark is three balloons, two of which are blue and the other one is yellow. Then one of those balloons fell on Spike’s head and he kinda freaked out a little and this made everypony laugh a bit.
“Pinkie, darling, would you mind to pick up the balloons, it does make a mess after a while.”
“Oh, Ok Rarity I didn't mean to make soooo much of a mess.”
Pinkie blew so many balloons that it made a pile of them in the middle of the room. In a swoop of her mane she grabbed all the balloons and deflated them all. Then she put them away in a flash.
“Wow Pinkie that always surprises me how you always are able to do things that boggles my mind.”
Soon after Applejack and Rainbow Dash came in arguing about something. Applejack is an orange pony that works on an apple farm and has a southern style accent. Rainbow Dash is a cyan colored Pegasus pony that was a little full of herself at times, but is always there for you if you need help. Now those two don’t agree on everything but they are good friends.
“Now, I don’t think that was necessary Rainbow Dash.”
“Oh, I’m sorry, but I’m pretty sure he needed to be taught a lesson after what happened to us for a million times.”
“But did ya have to make him cry like that? I mean even though he was in your face about that.”
“Yeah, I guess you’re right about that.”
“I think ya should apologize to him and of course I’m right about that!”
“So what is this about?” asked Twilight
“ Rainbow Dash here, was yellin’ at Discord ‘cause he said that she was not being a fair when they were havin’ an eatin’ competition.”
“Well to be fair HE was cheating first so I had to in order to keep up.”
While they were arguing, a pony came in screaming and was yelling frantically. This got all of the ponies attention. They were wondering if this was all Discord’s fault. Applejack they all looked at Rainbow Dash and sighed.

Discord was in Fluttershy’s cottage crying. Discord was a draconequus, which meant he had a head of a pony and the body parts of many sorts of creatures. He went straight there after the competition. Fluttershy was there comforting him to make him, hopefully, feel better about the whole thing. Fluttershy was a yellow Pegasus with a pink mane and tail and has a Cutie Mark with three pink and blue butterflies.
“There, there Discord, she didn't mean to hurt your feelings.”
“Well it wasn't all that bad, I mean I could of taken her wings and made her stuck on the ground for eternity. Muhahaha.”
“But that wouldn't be very nice and you would make her cry.”
“I know, and that's why I didn't do it, I’m really trying to be good...for you.”
“What?” she said surprised
“Nothing, well, I’m going for a walk and do a little bit of Chaos in the Everfree Forest, that should cheer me up.”
“ Ok Discord but don’t harm any of the animals there or we will have a big talk mister”
Discord gulped knowing that pissing off Fluttershy would make all of Equestria tremble. Fluttershy smiled knowing that her message got across. Angel, Fluttershy’s bunny, was still unsatisfied with Fluttershy and how she prepared his meal in the morning so he started to tap his foot. When Fluttershy noticed him finally he gave her a smack and pointed at his bowl.

It was still early in the day at the Cutie Mark Crusaders, or CMC for short, hideout at Sweet Apple Acres. The group consisted of three little fillies the first one is Apple Bloom, she was a yellow earth pony filly with a red mane and tail, her sister is Applejack. The next one is Sweetie Belle, she is a white unicorn filly with a purple and pink mane and tail, her sister was Rarity. The final one in the group is Scootaloo she is a Pegasus filly with a purple mane and tail, and her roll model is Rainbow Dash.
" What should we do to day girls," said Apple Bloom
"Well what about if we--" said Sweetie Belle before she was interrupted.
"No we did that yesterday," said Scootaloo
" You didn't let me finish."
"But we always do the same thing almost everyday."
"Well what do you suppose we do then."
"I say we go and see if we can last in the Everfree Forest and see if we get our Cutie Marks in exploring!"
"WHAT!" said the other two fillies.
"No way, no how are we goin' in there," said Apple Bloom
"Rarity would KILL me if I were to in there," squeaked Sweetie Belle.
"What are you guys Chicken," said Scootaloo.
"We're not chickens," said Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle
"Well then...Prove it," said Scootaloo.
When Scootaloo said this Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle wanted to be a brave pony and show up Scootaloo. But the thing is that their sisters would be very pissed if they were to step a single hoof in there without there protection. Applejack, Big Macintosh, and Granny Smith would beat the living shit out of Apple Bloom if they ever find out. While Rarity would never hit Sweetie, although she probably would make an exception. So if they go their screwed and if they don't go then there their chickens. Then Apple Bloom had an Idea.
"Could ya' excuse us for a moment Scoots."
"What is it Apple Bloom?"
"Do you want to be called a chicken, from a chicken?"
" Well no, but what does that have to do with that?"
The two fillies looked up to their friend and smiled very cheaply at her.
"I mean what if we say we're goin' some where but actually go to the Everfree Forest."
"WHAT! You mean lie?"
"Yeah."
"Well I don't know about that Apple Bloom."
"Come on what's the worst that could happen?"
"Okay I'll go on with it."
Then the two looked at their friend and both agreed that they will go.
"Great meet you guys at the entrance of the forest tonight, see you then."

Later the CMC all met at the entrance of the forest where Scootaloo was waiting for them already. Apple Bloom said that she was staying at Scootaloo's house and she should be back in the morning. Of course Applejack agreed with this because she trusts her after the whole Fire Swamp thing. While Sweetie Belle said that she was going also to Scootaloo's place for the night. It took a little bit more convincing to let her go on her own but she eventually did it. They both new they couldn't let their families know or there flanks are in for it.
"Alright, are we ready for an awesome night tonight in the Everfree Forest!"
"Yeah, we are," said Apple Bloom.
"Yeah," said Sweetie Belle
"Alright let's do this."
The three fillies walk into the forest and set up camp about 400 meters from the entrance. Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo set up their tents and start to have their dinner when all of a sudden Discord appeared and surprised them.
"Hello ladies what are we doing here this fine evening."
They all screamed and yelled then it was silenced with laughter.
"What are you doing here Discord"
"Well I'm here blowing off steam as it were, and you?"
"We're here to get our Cutie Marks in exploring!" exclaimed Scootaloo.
"Well that is great but I think that you should start exploring tonight because I saw something in the forest that would peek your interests."
"What is it, what is it?" said the three fillies
"I'm sorry but if you want to find out your going to have to find out."
"Which direction is it in?"
"Well I could tell you where it is, but it will have to cost you."
"How much?" asked Scootaloo
"Oh, nothing much but a simple request, just put this on Zecora's house and that will be it."
"That's it?"
"Yes, that's it."
It was a small little trinket that said "Discord was here."
"Ok we'll do it," said Scootaloo
"OK it is in that direction and you'll see it right in front of the riverbed."
Scootaloo was making all of the decisions for them and they didn't want to say anything to disappoint her so they let her go on with the plan. But before they did anything they went to Zecora's to place the 'stupid trinket', as Sweetie calls it, on her house and ran away. Then they made it to the riverbed they didn't see anything at first but they soon saw a small, pitiful, shelter that was made of branches, leaves, and mud. They went up to it and saw that something was in it, but what it was they were not sure. They saw it move and they ran for cover and what they saw shocked them and they didn't know what it was.
