Cutie mark crisis

Chapter 2: The journey begins
____________________________________________________________
They start travelling towards the eastern part of the forest. When they have walked about four hours, Twilight says.
‘’Let’s set a camp here. I can’t walk any longer.’’
‘’Fine for me. We can continue tomorrow.’’ Pinkie says and shoots with a cannon that builds a house instantly.
‘’Where did you get that?’’
‘’I don’t know but I don’t care.’’ says Pinkie Pie and walks inside the house and others follow.

In the middle of the night Rainbow wakes when she sees a light from outside of the house. She gets up from the bed and walks outside. She sees a light disappear in the forest. But why is there then so bright.
‘’Everypony up and out! The house is on fire!’’ Rainbow Dash yells to others.
They all jump up and run out of the house.
‘’What did you do?!’’ Fluttershy says panicking.
‘’I didn’t do anything! I saw someone outside and I thought it was some of you, but when I went out, I saw a light disappear in the forest.’’ Rainbow tells.
‘’I bet that the one who lit the house is the same person who stole your cutie mark.’’ Twilight says.
‘’Let’s go after her!’’ Rainbow Dash says and starts flying towards the tree line but Applejack stops her just before she gets past the trees.
‘’Not now. You’ll just get lost in there. It’s best that we go together when the sun comes up.’’
‘’Fine, but next time I am not going to let her go that easy.’’
‘’I don’t want to interrupt anything but I think we have worse problems than a random light. So, our house just burned down. What do we do now?’’ Rarity says seriously.
‘’We should try to find a cover under some tree.’’ Applejack recommends.
‘’Well there is no shortage on trees.’’ says Twilight frustrated.
‘’Come on ya all, let’s find a nice spot.’’

They find a nice spot to stay the rest of the night, but they don’t get very much sleep because all animals in the forest are making scary noises and it starts raining.

At morning they all are very tired but they still think that it is for the best to start traveling deeper into the forest before night comes again.
‘’I am really tired and I can’t even stand still. Can’t we really wait just a little more?’’ Rarity starts whining.
‘’We can’t wait anymore, we must keep going forward.’’ Twilight says determinedly.
‘’Yeah, I want to find that idiot who stole my mark.’’ Rainbow Dash says with a really angry tone in her voice.
‘’Let’s get moving then.’’ Says Applejack and starts walking in the forest and everyone follows.
When they move deeper into the forest Rainbow notices something.
‘’Hey! Come look at this. Do these look like hoof prints to you?’’
‘’Yeah they do.’’ Fluttershy says from the end of the line.
‘’I started seeing them a little while ago, but I thought it wasn’t that important, so I didn’t say anything.’’
‘’Why wouldn’t they be important?!’’ Twilight asks angrily.
‘’I’m sorry…’’ Fluttershy says and starts backing off a little.
‘’Umm.. I mean that’s okay. It is better that someone said now than not at all.’’ Twilight says and lovers her voice a bit.
‘’Should we follow the hoof prints?’’ Pinkie asks.
‘’Of course! What were you thinking? That we just keep going forwards and sing songs!’’ Rainbow yells at Pinkie.
‘’I.. I..’’ Pinkie stutters and seems scared.
‘’Rainbow! You don’t have to be so aggressive!’’ Rarity commands.
‘’I am sorry. I didn’t mean to say that. It’s just that I have not been really myself since I lost my cutie mark.’’ Rainbow apologies.
‘’It’s okay. I understand.’’ Pinkie says and lifts her hoof on Rainbow’s shoulder.
‘’I understand.’’ Pinkie repeats.
The ponies start to follow the hoof trail and they also find a used lantern on the ground. They take it with them cause it may come useful. After a two hours of walking in the jungle, they have already lost the trail about half hour ago. But finally Applejack spots something.
‘’I found something.’’ Applejack whispers and her friends come to her. Applejack points at the trees on their left.
‘’What is that?’’ Twilight asks from her friend.
‘’I am not sure, but it looks like a tree house.’’
‘’Should we investigate it.’’
Suddenly Rarity pulls her friends to lie on the ground.
‘’What are you doing?’’ Twilight tries to ask but her friend closes her mouth.
Rarity point at tree house’s window, someone is looking straight at them.
