The Tree

The Fall hit Ponyville like it would of course the ponies would most likely love it. It was Celestia favorite season and the colors were red, orange, and yellow. The colorful leaves were everywhere, they would crumble away.

"Yes, we're doing it,"  Scootaloo said sounding thrilled to getting her cutie mark.

"Okay, just make sure we don't get hurt," Sweetie Belle said then thinking about the idea.

"I'll get the To-Do List to so we'll get every idea we have!" Apple Bloom rushing to get the list."Great, now here-" Apple then jumped out of nowhere following with a short scream."SPIDER!"

Out of curiosity both of the girls looked back and saw no spider, but however, saw a leave at Apple Bloom's back.

"There's no spider don't be scared!" Scootaloo said not really looking."It's just a leave,"

Sweetie Belle then picking up the leave. "It's so shiny, and yellow. I bet Rarity would love this!"

"It looks like its gold!" Apple Bloom saying looking amazed.

Then the golden leaves came in the window, slowly and slowly then, the three fillies wondered where did the gold leaves came from.

"I'll take a look outside," Sweetie running out onto the pouch only seeing the Apple Trees. Then going up above the tree-house to the post containing a telescope.

"All I see is nothing but trees," Then noticed the leaves,Okay if I follow the trail to where its coming from,

She though to herself.

"THERE IT IS!" she yelled.

"Where?" Apple and Scootaloo asked at the same time.

"Come up here,"

Apple and Scootaloo ran up to the post.

"Right there," Sweetie pointing to the tree with nothing but golden leaves.

They all noticed it was higher then usual.

"Its higher than the height of AppleJack's hay stacking," Apple Bloom said shocked and confused.

"How do you know how high it is?" Sweetie Belle said confused as well.

"There is only one way to find out!" Scootaloo ran down the pouch to get their capes. "We're going to that tree!

So, the Cutie Mark Crusaders got their saddlebags put on their capes and headed their way to the tree.


When they got to the floating tree the three of them were both confused and scared due to tree being in the middle of nowhere.

"That's really high, how are we going to get there?" Sweetie Belle said with confusion.

"I brought some sticks and string in my saddlebag, I bet we could make a ladder" Apple Bloom saying as she was solving the problem.

Because she was.

After some time all three of them made the hoofmade ladder then Scootaloo started to climb.

"It's okay climb on up-" The ladder started to break "-nononononono!"

Then the ladder falling with a thump.

"Are you okay?!" Sweetie Belle shouted.

"Yeah, I'm okay," Scootaloo replied.

"Be careful!" Apple Bloom yelled a bit lower the Sweetie's.

"Okay," Scootaloo said "I'll try to find a way to bring you up here onto this tree!" Then mumbled "If I could get them up."

Scootaloo weight was held by the roots of the tree, which was floating in mid air while looking she slipped.

"Whoa-" Then hands on to a root with her mouth.

"Are you okay?!" Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle said.

Then the tree slowly lowered down to the ground.

"See it was all apart of my plan!" Scootaloo said, with Apple Bloom looking at her if her plan was to slip fall and grab on to something.

When Apple Bloom and Sweete Belle got on the roots of the tree it started to float up to its spot the attitude started increasing for 30 seconds.

"We're higher than usual," Scootaloo said remembering how high she was "I was lower than this height!"

"It doesn't matter how high we are at least we got each we will be okay!" Apple Bloom said.

Both Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo nodded in agreement.

Now the Cutie Mark Crusaders carefully looked around the tree watching their step, until.

"Look I've found something!" Sweetie Belle said, then pointing her founding "Look I've found a way up!"

"Looks like some-kind of staircase" Scootaloo examined it "Come on, nothing bad would happen, its just a staircase"

"Oh really?" Apple Bloom said as she was behind Sweetie Belle.

"Yeah, I mean what could possibly go wron-"

The three of them fell into the a trapdoor into the tree then they all realized that the tree was hollow. Then slowly the trap door closed. Then the Cutie Mark Crusaders drifted into sleep
