Surviving 24 Hours in Camp Everfree
A group of seven girls and a purple dog were sneaking into Camp Everfree.
“Why are we doing this Rainbow Dash?” asked Applejack.
“Because our comment section has been requesting it like crazy. Plus, it’ll make for some good content.”
Sunset took a gander at her surroundings as they went deeper into the forest. “Aren’t we putting our lives at risk here?”
“Yeah. There could be bears out there coming out to eat us, especially little animals like me,” Spike added.
“Don’t worry about it. Fluttershy can talk it out with them.”
“And I’ll keep you safe,” Twilight said as she hugged her pet.
“Although, it would make for an interesting video.”
“You cannot be serious!” Rarity exclaimed.
“Calm down, it was just a joke.”
The group walked further into the forest until they found a spot to set camp.
“Okay. Now that we’re here, I should go over something I didn’t tell you guys.”
The group waited and listened as to what Rainbow Dash had to say.
“So, remember when I said I was gonna bring the tents.”
Hearing that, the group already knew what she was going to say.
“You forgot to bring them!” Rarity shouted.
“No. I intentionally didn’t bring them.”
“WHY!?!”
“That’s where the challenge comes in. We don’t use any tents.”
“Well there is no way I’m sleeping on the dirty, forest floor.”
“No problem. We brought sleeping bags and pillows,” Pinkie Pie reminded.”
“I guess that’ll do.”
“We also brought food so that way, we don't have to hunt for any,” Applejack added.
Fluttershy let out a nervous laugh.
“Ohhhhhhhhhh… right… Sorry about that Fluttershy.”
“It’s fine.”
“Well, since we don’t have tents, we’re gonna have to make our own shelter out of wood,” said Sunset.
“We’re also going to need wood for fire,” Twilight reminded.
“Okay, me and Applejack will find wood. Twilight, Spike, and Fluttershy will collect water. The rest of us will wait here.”
Everyone except Sunset and Pinkie Pie departed as they headed out to find materials.

Walking further down the forest, Applejack and Rainbow Dash spotted a cave.
“Should we call the others and fake the video by living in a perfectly good cave?” Rainbow Dash asked.
“Please.”
“But we DON’T fake videos so let’s keep searching!”
Luckily, the two had found some sticks and carried them back to camp.
***
Fluttershy, Spike, and Twilight were practically in the middle of nowhere.
“Um, Twilight. Are we lost?” Fluttershy asked.
“No, don’t worry about it. We just need to listen for water.”
Everyone went silent as they heard what sounded like water rushing.
“It sounds like it’s coming from over there,” Spike said, pointing to the left of the forest.
The purple dog led the way as Twilight followed behind.
“But isn’t it-”
Before Fluttershy could finish, the two were already running. With no other choice, she decided to follow.
The three had ended up at a stream of water. Fluttershy then asked Twilight the question she tried to ask previously.
“Um, Twilight, is it okay to drink water from this stream?”
“Nope.”
“Then how are we gonna drink?” Spike asked.
“We purify it. Assuming Rainbow Dash and Applejack already have wood, we’ll boil it with this little pot I brought on the fire.”
Collecting the water with a container Twilight conveniently brought, the three headed back to camp.
***
As the five returned, they saw a little hut out of wood and leaves. It looked big enough to fit the rest of the girls surprisingly.
“While you were all gathering supplies, Pinkie and I built shelter, or at least tried to.”
“We also laid out everyone’s sleeping bags,” Pinkie added.
“Cool. Wait, did you just rummage through all our bags?” Applejack wondered.
“Uhhh…”
***
Twilight gathered the wood and placed them in a pile. She then grabbed two sticks and rubbed them together.
“You used to be in girl scouts?” Sunset asked.
“Mm-hmm.”
“You should make Sunset start the fire,” Spike teased.
The bacon-haired girl looked down at the dog, a smug look on her face. “Real funny.”
“Twilight is one of the reasons we’re gonna survive this challenge,” Rainbow stated.
Few seconds later, the fire had started. Suddenly, a rumbling noise could be heard. Everyone turned their heads to Pinkie Pie.
“Wow. I’m starving.”
“I brought the food.” Applejack dug into her backpack and handed everyone their own package of dehydrated food.
“And since Twilight and Fluttershy are vegan, here you go you two.”
“Thanks,” they both replied.
“Oh! And here’s food for you Spike.” Twilight took out dog food from her backpack and handed it to her pet.
“Thanks!” Spike then started eating from his food bowl.
“As for us, all we need to do is boil water via this pot I brought, pour it in the bag, wait for five to ten minutes, and we’ve got food.”
“Sweet. You want me to help? I brought an extra pot,” Sunset offered.
“Sure.”
***
Everyone now had food to eat for the day. Twilight then handed Pinkie her package of now hydrated food.
“Thanks. Can you get me a spoon?”
“Pinkie, you have hands. There’re spoons literally right there.”
“Pleaaaase?”
“No.”
“Yes.”
“NO!!”
“YES!!”
“Pinkie! I started the fire and made your food! And now you’re asking me to hand you a spoon?! What have YOU done?!”
“I came!!... and built the shelter!”
Everyone all laughed after Pinkie’s first statement.
“For a moment, I thought you two were actually gonna start an argument,” Rarity said laughing. “You scared me for a moment.”
The group continued to eat their meal, and only meal after sharing their bit of laughter.
***
It was getting late. The group was ready to hit the hay as they entered their shelter. Randomly, Pinkie wrapped her arms around Rainbow Dash.
“Pinkie what are you-”
“Just let this happen. Just this once.”
“Okaaaaaay?”
*3:00 AM*
“AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!”
Rarity’s screaming caused everyone to wake up. She ferociously swiped her neck until whatever was on there flew off. Seeing this, Fluttershy quickly catched what looked like a living creature.
“What happened?” asked Rainbow Dash.
“Some ghastly creature was crawling on me! What was it?!”
“It was a centipede.” Fluttershy lifted up her hand showing Rarity the arthropod.
“AAAAHHH!!” Rarity quickly ran behind Rainbow Dash, clutching her shoulders.
“Ew, ew, ew! Get it away, get it away!”
Fluttershy set the centipede on the floor as it crawled away. The group continued to get some shut-eye.
***
It was the next morning. Twilight was the first to wake up.
“How was everyone’s sleep?”
“Ugh. That was the worst sleep of my life,” Applejack replied.
The rest of the group all woke up, ready to leave… except for Sunset and Pinkie Pie who were still asleep. Despite Pinkie being asleep, Rainbow managed to get out of her grasp.
“Pinkie. Sunset. Get up.” Rainbow Dash said, shaking the two by their shoulders.
The two groggily woke up.
“We’re going home now. Pack up your things.”
Everyone started packing up their things, making sure they didn’t leave anything behind. All that was left was the shelter Sunset and Pinkie had built. The girls took a good look at their shelter and surroundings, then they all headed home, ready to publish their challenge onto YouTube.
