Load Full Story

Many moons ago, two tribes lived in peace and harmony. The Elements were not yet to be found, and Celestia was the only princess, for her sister was not born. Two young ponies, a mare and a colt, raced about every day. One from the Half Moon tribe, ther other from the Eclipse tribe. Nothing ever happened in their territory. Until one fateful day.


"Drone!" Misty, a playful mare from the Half Moon tribe, called. Drone stuck his head round the corner of a rock.

"Misty?" He called back. "Your here! I found something AWSOME! Come look!"

Misty flew forward as Drone teleported away. Misty stared in awe as she entered the colourful cave that her colt best friend was stood in.

"What in the name of Celestia are they?" Misty asked.

"I don't know, but we're gonna find out. To the library!" Drone shouted, galloping away. Misty took one last look at the six jewels before leaving the cave.

"It says here that a secret cave of wonders lies far beyond Celestia's castle, but nothing about the jewels that we saw. Let me look at your book," Drone said, reaching his hoof across his book, onto Misty's. The mare tried to give her book to Drone but, in doing so, placed her hoof on his. The colt blushed, but didn't pull away. Misty suddenly flew upwards before yawning dramatically.

"Would you look at the time! I'm beat. See you tomorrow! Bye!" She said, nervously before shooting out of the library. Drone sipped his orange juice before letting out a deep sigh.

"So close," he muttered in a frustrated tone.


Drone woke with a start. He felt his head bolt upright before he noticed Misty standing in front of him. Drone's face turned bright red. Misty was wearing  a purple dress, her black hair pulled into a bun and fastened with a moonlit lily.

"I'm going out for lunch. Wanna come?" She asked.

"Lunch? It's five O' clock in the morning!" He shouted. Misty sighed and pointed to his robot clock. 12. Drone frowned. "Fine," He agreed.

"There are no restaurants this way," Drone stated, confused.

"I know," Misty replied. "We're eating in the cave."

Drone smiled. That's my girl,he thought. They walked across the gravel, past war stone point, through the valley and into the cave. They both stopped before entering. They stared in horror.

"Oh no," Misty whispered.
