Seven Days III

Spike waited and waited as he helped the Apples around the farm as he still waited. But nothing came, Spike is growing impastent as he waited for Twilight to send a letter saying that she found this 'Rattle of Reality' but still nothing.

Spike began to worry the worst has she decided that she doesn't love him anymore and stayed in Prance to be away from him. Or has she found a coltfriend a rude and mean coltfriend. Or is Twilight trying to find somepony to replace him?

Spike began to walked up and down with his eyes closed thinking of the out-comes if Twilight would stop loving him, what would stop Applejack? The two been dating for almost two months now as Spike felt like he wasn't going anywhere. Spike open his eyes to see Applejack holding his tail with her hoof

"What' wrong Sugar ya seem down?" Applejack asked

"Well Twilight hasn't sent any word yet and I'm wondering if she as found somepony new and doesn't need me anymore" Spike said as Applejack wrapped him in a hug

"Don' worry 'bout that hon Twilight would never leave ya, your her little brother" Applejack said

"I was also scared that if Twilight would stop loving me what would I do if you stopped" Spike said as Applejack eyes widen

"Spike what in Equestria would make ya start thinkin' like that?" Applejack asked

"I don't know I guess I'm still learning"

"Here to prove that Ah love ya" Applejack said as she kissed the dragon on the lips re-creating the same passionate they shared on the day the two fell in love.

Rainbow Dash flew though the open blue sky leaving a rainbow trail behind her. Flying over to Sweet Apple Arces landing in the apple farm right in front of the farm house. Knocking on the wooden door she saw Apple Bloom opening it

"Hey A.B where's your sister?" Rainbow asked

"Most likely with Spike" Apple Bloom said as the pegasus and young earth pony laid in a uncomfortable silent.

"Ya mind getting her?" Rainbow asked

"Oh what? Sure" Apple Bloom said as she cough a little "HEY SIS, RAINBOW DASH IS HERE!!" She yelled smiling as she turned back at the cyan blue pegasus blinking as she thought that maybe she has just lost her hearing.

Applejack walked to the door looking down at her younger sister who still has a giant smile as she ran out to meet with the other two crusaders.

"Sorry 'bout that Dash, ya can still hear me?" She question

"Oh yeah, I'm here about the wedding food" she said

"Ya that right ah got work mind talkin' while ah work?" She asked her friend

"Nah, I can lead you a hoof you need one" Rainbow said as Applejack smiled.

The tea pot boiled as steam raise from the bottom as Fluttershy poured the hot tea into two cups. Placing one in front of the draconquus and of herself as a plate of chocolate cookies laid in the middle.

"Is it nice to have a tea party like old time?" Fluttershy asked before drinking some of her tea

"Yeah, it really is great I always love having these movements with you" Discord making the yellow pegasus blush.

"Oh, thank you Discord"

"No, I should be thanking you my dear for first giving me your friendship then giving me your love... Strange I think that a song" Discord said making Fluttershy giggle

The Map then started glowing as Fluttershy and Discord looked at the Item

"Oh one of The Items are showing it self" Fluttershy said

"Why does it have show it self now?" Discord question as Fluttershy kissed him

"Sorry for leaving but this might be one of those dangerous Items" Fluttershy said before leaving with the Map.

Fluttershy flew over to Lucky's new house gently passing the ponies walking. Landing outside as the wooden stood in front of her as Fluttershy knocked on it three times. Letting a smile form on her lips as Robin open the door

"Good morning miss Fluttershy how can I help you today?" Robin asked

"Hello Robin, where's Lucky?" Fluttershy question the bird

"Oh, Lucky Dice"

'Lucky Dice? No master in front of his name?' Fluttershy thought

"He's at Sweet Apple Acres picking up some food"

"Thanks Robin" Fluttershy said as she rolled her eyes in annoyance as she flew over to Sweet Apple Acres.

Fluttershy landed in the Apple's farm as yelling is heard from the distance. Fluttershy totted over to see the three fighting Applejack, Rainbow, and Lucky as she shook her head.

"Sorry dude but I need food for my wedding" Rainbow said

"Oh please apples for a wedding? I need some dinner tonight you can get food any day of the week" Lucky said

"Hmm...Everypony Fluttershy whispered

"Would ya both stop fightin' like fouls" Applejack said

"Never! I'm showing him not to deal with me" Rainbow said

"It's about the Map and...." Fluttershy said a little bit louder.

"Oh I'm so scared about someone who talks a big game and does nothing about it" Lucky said

"Hey!" Fluttershy yelled making the three stop to look at her

"Yes Shy?" Lucky asked

"It's the Map a new Item as been activated" Fluttershy said as she open the black piece of paper as a black skinny long with buttons on the top with a white bandages wrapped around it. Magical showed on The Map of Location as the new Item went into a forest far away.

"The Time Travel Remote? Odd wasn't it in the center of the Earth?" Lucky question outloud

"Was? So where is it now?" Rainbow asked

"Someplace worst. The Changing Woods, you see The Time Travel Remote is able to let anyone travel though time and dimentions. Don't ask me why they didn't call it The Time and Dimension Travel Remote I just think The Time Travel Remote rolls off the tongue better" Lucky said as the girls look at him

"Oh right, anyway The Time Travel Remote lets anyone travel though time and dimensions at they own freewill. Created by an Earth pony known as Traveler I know dumb name right but Traveler created to see what would happen to the world when Kain arrived that and so Traveler can get something good to eat not that many chooses in the past" Lucky finished

"That somethin'" Applejack said "So who needs to go?"

"You. That was easy" Lucky said

"Me?"

"Well you and Shy anyway The Remote was created by an Earth pony and I believe The Remote needs to goes to you"

"Why do I have to go?" Fluttershy asked

"Well because The Map can find any Item and because The Changing Woods always guess what?...They change it just safer to go with you"

"Makes sense to me we'll leave 'morrow" Applejack said

"Well it looks like The Changing Woods is close to Las Pegasus" Fluttershy said looking at the map again

"One more thing when you get to The Changing Woods watch out for Dire Bears" Lucky said

"What's a Dire Bear?" Fluttershy asked with fear on her voice

"Well it's a Bear and it's Dire so a Dire Bear" Lucky answered

"That's so helpful" Rainbow said sarcastically

"One more thing" Lucky said as the girls tried to walk away again "There's something I should warn you about something else that hid in those woods. Something evil, something deadly, something terrifying. But I can't remember it all well must not be anything important" Lucky said as the girls left the pegasus standing alone in the middle of the apple farm.

The wind rush the leaf's off the ground as thousand of tree stood still to an normal pony eye as Fluttershy and Applejack stood outside the forest with rocks in the ground showing a path to the beginning of the woods.

"So this here is The Changing Woods?" Applejack asked as Fluttershy looked at her map which now has a perfect way to guide a pony though them with a red arrow pointing forward.

"Yeah, I'm wondering what Lucky was trying to warn us about?" Fluttershy asked

"Well it most likely nothin' come on lead the way" Applejack said as the two mare entered the woods as voices reach their ears as the two walked though the forest with the plants singing along with it.

"A song really? There a song that always plays in this place" Applejack said as the two turn right and then left

"Maybe that what Lucky was trying to warn us about" Fluttershy joked as their went down then back up

"We walking in circles!" Applejack said

"No we not because we're here" Fluttershy said as the two are now standing outside a cave as the girls entered the dark cave.

Walking over a log laying on the floor of the cave as the girls saw The Remote the blue with a white bangaid wrapped around it with the only light sorts shining on it

"Wasn't The Remote meant to be black?" Fluttershy question as Applejack took The Remote as two big red eyes open

"Who cares?"

"But The Map is trying to located it again" Fluttershy said as a hissing voice echo though the caves

"Fluttershy please tell me that ya made a hissing noise 'cause ya miss ya animals" Applejack said

"No I didn't, run?" The shy pegasus asked

"Run" the orange earth pony said as the two ran out of the cave as the red eyes followed them getting outside the cave an long and tall green snake with red eyes and giant wings looked at them and hiss again. As the girls ran as the same song kept playing

"Right, left, up, right, down, left" Fluttershy said as the snake chase them though the maze as it open it mouth unleashing it fangs as the two mares moved out of the way making the snake smash into the stone wall trapping it as he keeps on trying to pull away to no luck on getting out.

Applejack rolled her eyes at the creature as Fluttershy placed her hoof on the snake face as his eyes move to her.

"Do you want to get out?" She asked as the snake nodded

"Fluttershy ya are not thinkin' on releasing the varmint" Applejack said as the pegasus didn't answer her friend as she kept talking to the snake.

"First take a deep breath, next lift your head up and then pull" Fluttershy said as the snake did want she said as the creature looked down at the two.

"Thannnnnks"

"Wait ya can talk?" Applejack question

"Of course I caaaaan. I'm not an idiot but I shaaaaaallll be in serve into needed"

"Oh, thank you I have a question why is The Map of Location not working right because that isn't The Remote?" Fluttershy asked

"Yeeeeesss that two poniessssss enter here long ago they might have The Time Travel Remote you seek but there is something horribleeeeee"

"What is it then?" Applejack asked

"Medusa. Sssssssshe will turn you two to stone when you look in her eyesssssss. Her curse is only broken in death"

"Oh, that not really nice" Fluttershy stated

"Well it ether your life or herssssss, goodbye" the snake said as it moved away from the girls. As they shared a look

"Ahem goin' to slap ya brother with we get back" Applejack said

"Yeah I'm going to slap him too" Fluttershy return as The Map pointed in front of them as the wall blocking them somehow moved leaving a budge of statues of ponies, griffins, and other creatures.

Walking though the place Applejack stopped as she looked at a pair of statues holding each other as un-like the others there no fear in their eyes only sadness.

"Applejack what's wrong?" Fluttershy asked walking back over to her friend

"It just these statue remind me of ma and pa it most likely nothin' let get that remote" Applejack said as she took one last look at the statues and left with her friend.

As the girls walked though the statues garden as the sound of they hooves hitting the ground was just the only sound heard as the two friends stayed quiet as they over look the statues.

"How are we suppose to know with one has this darn Remote?" Applejack asked

"I don't know by ending the curse of Medusa, I don't even know who that is" Fluttershy said as the two sat down on the rocky road as the another sound came from to far from them.

"Ah think that this Medusa found us" Applejack said as a creature rose from behind them as this creature has a snake tail bottom with snake hair green skin with scales covering most of her body as this creature have two arm.

"Oh" Fluttershy said as Medusa slide in front of them as she slowly begins opening her eyes as a snake tail knocked her away from the girls.

"Run" the snake said as the two ponies ran as the snake looked into Medusa's eyes turning him to stone.

Medusa followed closely to the girls as she tried to make then look into her eyes.

"You know that the earth pony reminds of two dumb earth ponies. What was they names I think it was Apple Crust and Flowerpot" Medusa said as Applejack's eyes widen in shock

"Ma and pa" Applejack said

"Applejack turn" Fluttershy whisper in her ear as the orange mare nodded turning in different directions. As Medusa sat in the middle of nothing as the ground started to open

"Wait, the chasam. This isn't a supposed to be here!" Medusa yelled as she fell to the the sharp rocks at the bottom.

Fluttershy and Applejack covered they eyes not waning to see the site as looked at each other and walked back to the statue garden. Finding all the ponies, griffins who got lost in the forest back to normal

"Thank you both for freeing the forest of the monster know asssss Medusa I will be shall like to be your friend and guide The Changing Woods" the snake said

"What is your name?" Fluttershy asked

"Oh that's right I never told you, my name is Marvovlo"

Applejack looked though the confused ponies and giffins as she smiled finding two earth ponies "Ma, pa!" Applejack called out as she ran to them

"Applejack?" Apple Crust question as she stopped in front of them

"You we missed you so much" Flowerpot said hugging her daughter "How's Big Mac and Apple Bloom doing?"

"We can talk 'bout that later we have so much to talk 'bout" she said as Apple Crust smiled

"Ah would like that" he said

"Marvovlo can you get everypony out of the woods please?" Fluttershy asked as he nodded

"Everypony please if you can't fly or use magic please hop on me to leave The Changing Woods" Marvovlo said as the Earth ponies and Fluttershy climbed on him.

Lucky Dice lay down in the lawn chair as Fluttershy and Applejack stood in front of him as he stood up as Fluttershy slapped him across the face.

"Okay I probably deserve that" Lucky said as Applejack slapped him next "I don't think about that one"

"That because ya didn' warn us 'bout the snake and Medusa" Applejack said as Lucky looked shocked

"Snake? Medusa? Medusa was in here oh, how is she?" He asked

"Dead"

"Oh that's a shame but still Marvovlo is there because he is the guardian of The Time Travel Remote but I did remember what I was going to warn you about" Lucky said as Applejack and Fluttershy shared a look

"Oh they was something worst in those woods besides Medusa?" Fluttershy asked

"The song that plays always never stopping it enough to drive you crazy 'dance magic dance'" he said

"Ya better run or ya goin' to meet Medusa real soon" Applejack said as Lucky flew away from them at a fast speed.

Apple Crust and Flowerpot look around Sweet Apple Arces with wonder in they eyes as they followed they daughter to the farm house.

Apple Bloom lay in the chair bored waiting for her sister to return as Big Mac is too busy with farm work as he walked in a sat down on a different chair tired as Applejack walked in the house

"Hey Ah found two ponies who ya might want to meet again" she said as Apple Crust and Flowerpot walked in

"Why would ah care 'bout these two?" Apple Bloom question

"Ah know ya was young but ah thought ya never forget 'bout ya mother and father" Apple Crust said

"Wait ya both are back!" Apple Bloom said wanting this to not be a dream

"Yes and we are staying" Flowerpot said as she hug her youngest daughter.

"Oh Applejack ah almost forgot this is yours" Apple Crust said reaching into his saddlebag and pulling out The Time Travel Remote and giving it to Applejack as she hugs her father as she gets the first item found 'two down, five more to go' she thought

A orange book with purple around the edges lay in a frozen waste land as a shadow of a pony covered it as this pony couldn't be seen but the smile now on this pony face as the pony started laughing.

"One down, six more into I can have this world meet it end" the pony darkly
