(The school bell rang.)

"Sorry I'm late." Sunset panted as she burst through the doors of the music room. "Sunset this the second time this week. Whats going on with you? you're usually so punctual." Fluttershy asked her friend. "Maybe she found something interesting at the portal?" Rainbow Dash inquired. "No not really" Sunset replied.

The Wondercolts had just lost a soccer game against the Shadowbolts. AGAIN!

"It was your fault we lost Applejack!" Rainbow accused.

"My fault!? YOUR the one who wouldn't pass the ball Rainbow Dash!" AJ shot back.

"Honestly you two and this stupid match , there is more to life than winning!" Rarity screamed.

"IS NOT!" The two athletes shouted back, clearly offended by the fashion queens statement.

As the end of the day arrived the Rain Booms decided to go over to the statue/ portal , to see if there was anything interesting there. Sure enough when they arrived they made a discovery they will never forget.

"What is that ?" Fluttershy asked in her usual worried tone. She was pointing at a mysterious button on the side of the statue."I'm not sure , sugarcube." AJ answered the shy animal lover.

"Someone press it!" Rainbow demanded. The others shot her an icey glare.

"OH COME ON!" Dash whined.

"Fine!, but if anything goes wrong , were blaming you. Got that!?" Applejack said without any emotion in her voice.

"Yes mom!" Dash replied sarcastically. "So how do we decide who's going to do the honours?" Rarity asked. The others thought for a moment. (GASP) "Lets draw straws!" Pinkie squealed excitedly. After the straws were drawn, Sunset had lost the challenge. "I'm so going to get Rainbow Dash back for this!" She muttered under her breath angrily. The moment Sunset pressed the button there was a sudden flash of light which engulfed the Rain Booms.

"Uhh where are we?" Fluttershy asked.

"Not sure." Sunset replied. "But we should investigate."

"I vote Rainbow Dash should go over there first!" Applejack suggested.

"What! why me!?" The rainbow haired jock screamed back at the farm girl.

"Because it was YOUR idea!" AJ answered.

"FINE!"

"Atta girl!" AJ cheered in a patronising tone.

"Stupid Applejack!" Dash muttered.

The moment Rainbow pressed the button , there was another flash of light which engulfed her in one swift motion. She was gone!

"Rainbow Dash!" the others screamed.

"Uh where am I?" Rainbow Dash asked no one in particular. She opened her eyes and looked around, only to find her self in a dark room tied to the wall. All of a sudden there was a light snicker. "Wh-who's there?" She stuttered. "I am Nightmare Moon! , HA HA HA!" The mysterious figure cackled. "Wh-what do you want with me?" Rainbow asked whilst shaking with fear. "Oh you'll soon find out child." With that She walked away, leaving Rainbow worried and scared she'd never see her friends again.

"Where did Dashie go!?" Pinkie asked.

"Not sure , but we need to find her." Rarity answered.

"This is all my fault!" AJ blamed herself.

"Oh Applejack it isn't." Fluttershy said in a soothing voice.

"Yeah , it is, I'm the one who volunteered her to go over there and , now she's GONE!" AJ cried.

"Shh , its not your fault Applejack. Rainbows just... impulsive." Sunset cooed as she tried to comfort her friend.

"Yeah but..." AJ was about to continue until she was interrupted by Rarity.

"Uhh girls you might wanna see this." Rarity said getting their attention.

"What is it ?" Sunset asked. "Oh pony feathers."

"Hello children!" Nightmare Moon screamed.

"Who are you and , what have you done with Dashie!?" Pinkie demanded to know.

"Oh don't worry , your rainbow haired friend is safe... for now." Nightmare moon was about to walk away , when she heard more screaming and crying.

"WAIT!" AJ shouted after her. "What if there was a way to get her back? Maybe we could make a deal."

"Applejack NO!" Rarity shouted trying to stop her. This got Nightmare moons attention. "I'm listening."

(Sigh) Applejack signed as she removed her hat and looked down at the ground. "I'll go there."

"You're serious?" Nightmare quizzed.

"As serious as the sky is blue." AJ answered in a sad tone.

"But its night time." Pinkie jumped in.

"NOT helping Pinkie Pie!" Rarity snapped.

"Very well then ." There was another flash of light , and suddenly the farm girl had vanished.

"Hey!" Pinkie shouted after Nightmare Moon. "You said you'd bring Rainbow back!"

"No I said I was going your other friend too." (Explosion) She disappeared without a trace.

(Coughing) "What do we do now?" Fluttershy trembled.

"I'm not sure." Sunset answered.

(At the dungeon)

"So you sacrificed your self to try and safe me?" Rainbow asked.

"Uh yes." AJ answered a little scared.

Rainbow hesitated for a moment before pouncing on her friend, hugging her tight. "Oh thank you, thank you , thank you!" You have no idea how scared I was." She whimpered.

"Did I hear that right? Is the awesome Rainbow Dash afraid?" AJ taunted.

Rainbow was going to deny the fact that what she just said was true, but she knew it would never wash with the queen of honesty. "Fine I admit it!" But tell anyone and you're dead!" She screamed.

"I think we both are anyway sugar cube. I think we both are." AJ said. "I'm scared too." Applejack was really bad at lying so she didn't even try to hide her fears. She just did her best to comfort Rainbow. "AJ, what if we never get back to the others?" Rainbow asked in a voice that screamed 'scared.' All Applejack did was hug Rainbow, and rub her back as she tried to comfort her. "Come on now I'm sure we'll find them... or they'll find us". She said trying to sound confident. But it wasn't working, Rainbow just cried her self to sleep. AJ looked up at the stars "Please." She prayed." If the magic of friendship really does exist , then let Sunset and the others find us." Applejack yawned as she walked over to Rainbow. She laid down next to the girl , and softly kissed her cheek. "Sleep tight Dashie." She said was she fell asleep her self.

(Back in Canterlot.)

"We have to find AJ and Dashie!" Pinkie screamed.

"Yes but how? That flash of light was faster than Rainbow when she uses her geode." Rarity asked.

"Not sure." Sunset answered. "But we won't stop looking until we do!"

"Yeah!" Rarity and Pinkie hollered in agreement. Suddenly an idea struck Fluttershy like a lightning bolt, but getting the attention of the others wasn't going to be easy.

"Uh girls?" She said in her usual quite tone of voice.

"What if we retrace our steps?" Rarity asked.

"Girls." fluttershy said a little louder , but still no luck.

"No that would take to long, and I don't know how much time we've got." Sunset replied , answering Rarity's suggestion.

"I know, lets have a party!" Pinkie shouted with glee.

"How would that help !?" Rarity and Sunset shouted in unison.

"GIRLS!" Fluttershy screamed, this time getting the trios attention.

"Fluttershy, you have an idea darling?" Rarity asked the animal lover. Fluttershy nodded. "Why don't we ask Princess Twilight for help?" Sunset face palmed. "Of course! why didn't I think of that!?" Pinkie handed Sunset her journal and pen. "Get to writing Sunshim!" She demanded. Sunset took the book and pen and began writing. "Dear Princess Twilight..."

Author's Note

this is my first fanfic , and my brother helped me with it. Its not brilliant , but there is more to come. This story does not have AppleDash shipping I just thought them two trapped together would be good.
