M.A.R'S Initiative

???POV

"WWWWOOOOOOOOOOO." I yell with excitement as I go down the Rollercoaster. "HAHAHAAHA." the Roller Coaster suddenly makes a left turn goes up and goes in a circular way.

"Hhhmmppph" I hear my friend Michael gag as his face turns a little green.

"Don't worry dude. Rides almost over. Hang in there" I comfort him as I see the end nearing.

SSSSHHHHHRRRRREEEEECCCCHHHH the gears on the coaster cry out as it stops.

'Thank you for boarding our Rollercoaster today. We hope you enjoy the rest of your day.' The guy over the megaphone says as we exit out of the coaster.

"You good man." I ask Michael as I see him wobbly get out the coaster. He puts his thumb up as we walk together towards the right part of the amusement park.

"Hey guys!" We hear my other friend Adrian call out as he runs towards us.

"Hey man how were the Go-Karts?"

"Good but I couldn't shake Cheryl and we tied for 1st." he shrugs as I chuckle.

"Looks like you've met your match huh."

"Just you wait next time we come here she won't know what hit her. " Adrian says as I feel a tap on my shoulder.

I turn and see Michael pointing towards a churro stand near us.

"You want one?" I ask him. He nods. I pull out some money from my pocket and check it. "Alright let's get a churro then head home alright." I say as my two friends nod and we head to get some churros.

40 minutes later

We walk in a neighborhood as we talk.

"So what do you guys wanna do tomorrow." I ask my friends. Michael just shrugs as Adrian spoke up.

"I say we prank Mrs. Jerenson."

"Eh, you sure because last time we did that it didn't end too well for any of us."

"That was only because I didn't expect the dogs." Adrian says before Michael hits him in his head only hard enough to make a point. " I said I was sorry didn't I. " Adrian says as he holds the spot where he got hit.

"Alright so let's say we go with your idea. What's the escape plan."

"Okay so we bring some of your mom's steak with some peanut butter-"

"Are we escaping or planning to give those little shits a buffet?"

Ponyville POV

"Spike, I could use some help. I need to get some more gems before I run out again. Are you free?" Rarity asks

"Of course I can help. Uh, Twilight I'm going to be gone for a while, can you manage?"

"Yeah don't worry I'll be fine, actually I've been meaning to reshelve these books for a while."

"Ok Twilight I'll see you later."

"Alright bye Spike I'll see you later take care you two." Twilight says waving.

"Now come along Spike we mustn't dawdle." Rarity says heading towards the flatland with Spike following behind.

20 minutes later

"I found more gems here and here." Rarity says, marking the ground with X's as Spike digs using his claws and tail.

"That should be all I need and bit for you as payment." Rarity says looking at Spike.

"Being with you is payment enough."

"What was that darling."

"Nothing just thinking."

Soon the ground starts to rumble and out pop three dogs.

"Not you three again." Rarity says with annoyance clear in her voice.

"I'll protect you, Rarity." Spike says as he stands in front of Rarity

"What is it you brutes want."

"We only want the gems pony. Now step aside or pay the price."

"Go find your own gems diamond dogs we found these first."

"Doesn't matter this is our territory which means we can do anything we want here."

"Yeah get out of our way or you're gonna get it."

"Rarity what should we do?"

"Fine keep the gems just leave us alone."

"Good choice."one of the diamond dogs says to Rarity as third one looks to Spike "You heard your owner pet get out of our way."

Spike looks at him "Fine mineral mutt."

The diamond dog looks at him in anger. "Your gonna pay for that!" the diamond dogs says as he throws a punch at Spike only for him to dodge it and punch him right in the nose.

The diamond dog groans in pain and back peddles as he clutches his nose as the two other diamond dogs look towards Spike in anger and get ready to jump him before Rarity teleports him a good distance away and start to run.

"What are you doing Rarity I could've taken them on."

"I'm not sure you could have it would have a 3 on 2 and you saw what happened last time."

"I guess." Spike says as he looks back only to see dirt start moving towards them.

"Rarity run!" Spike said as he and Rarity started to run.

"Stay away you uncouth brutes!" Rarity yells as she blasts one of the diamond dogs who tried to grab Spike's leg.

"Nice one Rarity! We should be able to reach ponyville before they can catch up again."

Spike says as Rarity looks back to see the dogs tunneling become faster and wobbly.

"Come on almost there!" Spike cheers as one of the dirt tunnels goes in front of the others.

"What gives we almost caught white pony and purple lizard!"

"No. If we caught them the other ponies would hear and interfere. We can't afford to be reckless." The diamond dog says as the others grumble and one punches the ground. "Worry not brothers we will get another chance but for now we head home."

At Carousel Boutique

Spike closes the door behind Rarity as she catches her breath.

"That was too close to Rarity. We should try and find a new gem farm."

"We can't Spike."

"Why not? It's getting too dangerous to go there. The first time they let me go and I was able to rescue you with the help of the girls, this time we got lucky we can't keep going there."

"Since when is a little danger going to keep my brave prince away." Rarity says to Spike who has a blush struck on his face before shaking his head.

"Rarity." he says as he stares at her in her eyes as sweat starts to form on her forehead.

"Fine. The real reason I can't give it up is because when I got my cutie mark I was pulled in that direction and I feel as though giving it up would also be giving up a piece of me." she says looking at Spike with puppy eyes.

'So that's why…. If it's that important to her' he mentally said "Alright but if we're going back there we need back up."

Rarity jumps in happiness and hugs Spike as he blushes profusely. " Rarity?"

"Yes Spike."

"Could you please let me go."

Rarity smirks as she starts to let him go. "But of course darling." As she struggles to hold in her laughter as she looks Spike's furious blush.

Everfree POV

A cloaked pony looks unto the town of ponyville.

"So this is where the princess's pet and her friends are. " The unknown pony says scoffing.

"Hey. Remember why we're here. You have your orders and I have mine don't mess up again, alright?"

The pony ignores his words and starts walking towards ponyville groaning the second pony followed.
