It was on the day of the great storm. Ponys all across ponyville were Galloping for cover. Most managed to get to there houses, Thay locked the doors and barred thare windows. However, A small group were cut off from ponyville, They were trapped on the side of the mountains. WInds were high, And everypony could feel there Mouths start to freeze. The 7 of them Took shelter in the cave.
The three Fillys looked terrified as a tremendous roar filled the atmospherar and bolts of lightning set trees ablaze! Whist tha're older sisters tryed to comfort them, Two of the mare's decided to survay the cave system. The small orange filly acoompanying the group rushed after them. She was about as tall as youre knee, Was blank on her flank, But you'd never seen as pony move as quick as her. She asked, nervously, like a frightened filly would,
"C..can I come with you?"
to wich, the eldest mare just smiled and nodded. The three of them continued to trot om into the darkness of the cave,
Taking one of the candles with them.
The eldest pony had a Childish pink bow, which she wore with pride. She had Glaring blue eyes, And some white freckles that really stood out against her red fur. On one side, these were swept away by her mane. Her main well kept, and was Lavender in colour. Against this lavender colour, was a bright pink patch. and her hoove's were also bright pink.
Dr. lavender sunshine: "So kid, Whats you're name?" Asked the older mare.
"Sc..s.. scootaloo, Madm."
She said with a nervous look on her face, not supprising concidering shadows were dancing on the walls around her.
"Well, Scootaroo, My name is Dr. Sunshine." Said the older pony, In a stern, but compationate tone.
"And I'm Thunder Strike",
Said the younger pony, In a arrogent, and foolhardy voice.
Thunder Strike was a alicorn, who was born In chippingdale, She lived thare for a number years, Until going to the canterlot university. She was brash and foolhardy, but she ment well. She was turquoise in colour, With teal eyes. Her main consisted of two seperate coloured streeks, One a turquoise, the other a light gray.
"Look out!"
A shout echoed through the cave, then a thunderous crash. The three rushed back to see a very large bolder, blocking the enterance way. Afterwords, A long quiate and errie silence followed, whare only the sound of dripping water could be heared throughout the cave.
"Well, It's no good waiting around here"
said the white unicorn, trying to comfort the young-ones.
"Why don't yall take a look around, see if thare's a way out?"
Enquired the orange earth pony in a concerned manner, "We'll take care of the fillys.
"But applejack I wanna go with them!"
Protested young scootaloo.
"Yeah me too" Stated A small, yellow earth pony in a saddened protest.
"I know!" Shouted the young white unicorn!
"Cute Mark Crusaders Cave explorers!" They all shouted, syncronised with one another.
"You mind if we tag along, pardner?" Asked the orange pony.
"Please?" Asked the crusaders, with a sweet smile on there
faces.
The doctor rolled her eyes, and said "Any help would be appreciated..."
Well then, what are we waiting for, lets go!" Shouted thunder strike, who was already galloping deeper into the cave. The others began to trot after her, In silence, just the sound of hooves echoing around the cave.
There was much tension in the cave. Everpony was quiet, all you could hear was 7 sets of hooves over the floor. To break the ice, Applejack asked "So parrtner, where you from?"
"Canterlot" Said the doc. Immediately after, The two unicorns faces lit up. They started to ask all sorts of questions about What the city was like, Did you ever meet the princesses. But the older pony asked politely
"What is it like, growing up in the most desirable city of all of equestria?"
Lavender was silent, With a expression of anger on her face. This quickly snapped back to her normal face and asked
"Do you really want to know?"
The two unicorns nodded, smiling. To which the doc said
"Horrible"
an expression of shock appeared on both the unicorns faces.
"But let me explain, In canterlot, they don't get involved, there's no respect for one another, no common courtesy. That's why I hate canterlot, Thats why I left!"
The orange mare on he right burst out laughing. "Whats so funny?"
"Look at her!"
Lavender glimpsed over to her left, to see a look of shock horror on the unicorn's face. She too let out a little giggle, but quickly started to move on.

while the other ponies were walking through the cave chatting thunder had already ran ahead and was waiting impatiently. when the ponies had stopped talking they met with thunder, thunder was completely still and the other ponies were confused lavender spoke
"uhh... thunder what are you doi.."
she was cut off by thunder's hoof in her face. lavender was mumbling with a hoof in her face when thunder said quietly
"quiet"
then the other ponies saw that right in front of them was a sleeping ursa minor. after a few minutes thunder spoke again quietly
"now ponies lets just back up nice an.."
she was interupted by a stone that had moved, thunder looked back and said angrily
"who was that"
no pony came forward
"i said be quiet. now lets go slowly backwards, easy, easy"
then suddenly a lavender sneezed a big sneeze which echoed through the whole cave.Thunder put her hoof to her face, then turned around and again angrily said
"i said BE QUIET".
right then all the ponies were cowering behind applejack, suddenly every pony said in a cowardly voice "lo.. lo.. look behind you. she slowly turned to see the ursa minor which had awakened, and with a yelp lavender shouted
"RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNN"
the ponie ran into different groups. scootaloo, thunder and applejack went one way sweetie bell, applebloom, lavender and rarity went the other.
then the cave went with a crashing and it was completely dark.

a scared filli's voice said then suddenly the room eluminated the room the light was coming from thunders horn.
"were in a cave scootaloo. but dont worry im here"

"it's applejack scootaloo"

"stand next to me scootaloo be prepared for this"
"arrghh" thunder said in an powerful voice.
the light suddenly went off and thunder could feel the young filly grab her leg and with a gigle said
"dont worry",
appljack was lifted from the rocks then the light came back.
"thank ya kindly thunder"
applejack said laying next to them
"are you ok?"

"RARITY"
"it's just a spider"
rarity replied in a snoody voice
"i.. i knew that i.. was acting.. yes acting of course"

Chapter 3: Sepperation
Sweetie bell was still illuminating the room, But all the ponys were getting tired, especialy Sweetie bell. The ponies decided to rest for a while.
Lavender lit a small candle and placed it in the center of the room. The cave was now tranquil and the ursa minor was no whare in sight. Everypony gathered together in the middle of the room, All in the candle light. Thay were silent, Listening for any sighn of the beast coming back. But thare was scilence, all through the cave, even the sound of dripping water had now stopped. The scilence were unnerving, You could see it in thare eyes. So to try and break the Ice, Lavender said "I hope the others are ok."
No pony replyed, Thay just lay thare, in scilence
______________________________________________________________________________
Meanwhile, In another aria of the cave, The three ponys were walking down a tunnle, trying to get back to the rest of the group. Scooterloo and Thunder in front, Applejack limping behind them.
"Are you sure You're ok to walk on that?" Said scooterloo.
"Yeah, i'm fine, now comon ya'll, let's keep movin'"
No, I think you should rest on that, it's clear it's painfull." Replyed Thunder
"If yall insist" Replyed applejack, In a slightly patrenised voice. "This looks as good a place as any to set down."
The ponys checked down the tunnle one last time, to check for thare friends. They then proceeded to lay down and sleep.
All but one. Scootaloo was restless. She wanted to know what hapened to the others. She snuck off into the dark abyss that lied infront of her.
______________________________________________________________________________
Lavender, Applebloom, Rarity and sweetybelle All woke up to the earspliting sound of rocks falling from the cealing. The ursa minor was mad. Verry mad. Everypony in the cavern grabbed what little supplys they had, And cantered into the unforgiving depths of the cave.
Rarity was now iluminating the path thay would take. The cave network was a maze of twists and turns, Confusion at every junction. The walls were barly big enough to fit three ponys side by side. The roof was only about 5 feet abouve the floor, meening the taller ponys had to hunker down to get through.
And whare they stopped, was not Idial. A sheer, allmost verticle 20ft. drop staired them in the face, and the ursa minor was gaining ground, Destroying all thr harsh rocks in it's way. The ponys had no choice, but to jump.
Thay did...
