It had been a couple of days sense Twi lost her shit over Pinkie Sense. We where now dealing with a worried Spike.

"Spike, can you breathe now?" Asked Twi.

"I think so" said Spike.

"Good. Now tell us what you know" I said.

"Rarity and I were in the woods looking for jewels when these creepy guys showed up" said Spike.

"Creepy guys?" Asked Twi.

"They called themselves the Diamond Dogs. They grabbed Rarity and disappeared down a hole in the ground" said Spike.

"Well, this sounds mighty easy. Just take us to that there hole and we'll save Rarity" said AJ.

After awhile Spike had led us to where Rarity was taken.

"Holy molly, that's a lotta holes" said Pinkie.

"Come on, girls! Let's get started" said Twi as the holes started to be filled. "Quick! We gotta get down one before they're all filled up" she said. They didn't get to one of the holes quick enough.

"We gotta save her" said AJ.

"But they blocked up all the holes" said Flutters.

"What are we gonna do?" Asked Twi.

"I got it! I'll save you, my sweet" said Spike suddenly.

"Huh?" Asked the mane five.

Spike had made a fishing rod somehow and stuck a gem to the hook and threw it down a hole that recently opened.

"Spike, it is very noble of you-" Twi tried to say before i cut her off.

"To sacrifice the gem Rarity gave you" i said sarcastically, he didn't seem to pick up on that.

"I got a bite!" Said Spike as he started geting pulled down the hole.

"Hold on there, little fella" said AJ as she grabbed him and started geting dragged down as well.

"Applejack!" Said Twi as she chased AJ and Spike after they had been pulled down the hole.

"Twilight!" Said Rainbow as she followed Twi.

"Oh my goodness" said Flutters as she followed.

"Wait for me!" Said Pinkie as she jumped down the hole.

"Allons-y" i said as i followed up to them.

"It worked! We're in! Now we can finally save Rarity!" Said Spike.

"Um... Which way do we go?" I asked.

"NO!" Yelled Spike.

After we had walked around the tunnels for awhile.

"All these tunnels... How are we ever gonna find Rarity?" Asked Twi.

"This could take forever! There's gotta be way to narrow which tunnel's the right one down" said Rainbow.

"I know! I bet they've taken Rarity down the tunnel with the most gems" said Spike.

"But Spike, Rarity is the only one who knows how to find gems" said Twi.

"No, Twilight. You can! You can copy Rarity's gem-finding spell" said Spike.

"Oh my gosh! You're right! Rarity showed me how she did it a while back" said Twi as she cast the spell.

"That's it. You did it, Twilight! Come on! We're coming, Rarity. We'll save you. Just hold on" said Spike as we ran down the tunnel.

After about ten minutes

"We're getting close. I can feel it" Said Twi. Soon after we heard crying coming from the other end of the tunnel.

"It's coming from down here. Come on!" Said Spike as we started running again.

We ran into a big open part of the tunnel system and got into a fight with some Diamond Dogs.

"Whoa, doggies. If you can take this bull by the horns, you better be ready for a ride. Come on, ponies! Kick 'em up, kick 'em out. Buck 'em up, buck 'em down" Said AJ as she fought off a few Dogs. After fighting them off we where running to find Rarity again.

We approached a huge room.

"Lady Rarity, I'm here to save you!" Said Spike as we ran into the room.

"Save us! Please, save us! Make it stop! Please!" Said the Diamond Dogs.

"Excuse me?" Asked Twi.

"So picky" said one of the dogs.

"And critical" said another dog.

"She won't stop talking" continued the first dog.

"And crying" said a third dog.

"We give her back" said the second dog as he pushed Rarity towards us

"Rarity! You're safe!" Said Spike as he ran up to her.

"Why, yes. Hello, girls. You arrived just in time to assist me" said Rarity.

"Assist you with what?" I asked.

"With those" said Rarity pointing to all the jewels.

"You're letting her leave with all these jewels?" I asked.

"Yes. Take them. And her with them" said the first dog.

"Please!" said the third dog.

After we left the tunnels.

"I can't believe you found all these gems!" Said Pinkie.

"I can't believe you tricked all those dogs" said Rainbow.

"Just because I'm a lady doesn't mean I cannot handle myself in a sticky situation. I had them wrapped around my hoof the entire time" said Rarity.

"I can't wait to write to Princess Celestia to tell her what you taught me today" said Twi.

"Me? What did I teach you?" Asked Rarity.

"Just because somepony is ladylike doesn't make her weak. In fact, by using her wits, a seemingly defenseless pony can be the one who outsmarts and outshines them all" said Twi.

"'Outshines' is right. Now you have enough gems to cover Sapphire Shores' costumes" said Spike as he eat a gem.

"Not if you eat them all, Spike" i said.
