The Life of Golden Jollybaker

They followed her into the room and it was so shiny, it looked as if it was made of gold. There was a red velvet rug leading from the front door, all the way to the throne. Jollybaker couldn't believe his eyes.

"Where is everyone?" He asked.

"Oh. This room hasn't been used for years. There are no alicorns left to rule since the magic went oohoo." Diamond made a crazy look when she said this, and laughed.

They followed her to the front door and heard guards outside.

"Wait. We go outside. We'll be spotted," said Jollybaker.

"Oh. That's right. You'll be locked up again if you're spotted. I'll go outside and distract the guards so you can sneak past."

She heads outside.

"Hello, guards."

They look at her with a big smile while Jollybaker and Sonic sneak past.

"Oh. Hey Blue Diamond. What were you doing in there? You wasn't talking with the prisoners, were you?" One asks suspiciously.

"Who? Me? Of course not. I learned my lesson last time."

"Uh-huh. Sure you did. You know, as your brother and leader of the guards, I have to look after you. If you were caught talking with the prisoners again, I would be held personally responsible. Do you understand?" He says sternly.

"Uh-huh. Yup." She distractedly says. She is too busy watching her new friends sneak away.

"What are you staring at?" He says and starts to turn around.

This made Blue Diamond focused on what she was supposed to be doing and makes her brother, Keyward, look back at her.

"Nothing! Well, I've gotta run. Lot of diamonds to make into jewelry. Byeee!" She waves and goes to meet her friends.

Keyward sighs and says, "My sister and her strange hobbies. Am I right, Locker?"

He looks over at the other guard, who is sleeping, and sighs again while shaking his head.

Meanwhile, Jollybaker and Sonic has managed to find a good hiding place when Blue Diamond comes to meet them.

"So how are you going to get us to Appleworm and get us all out of here?" asks Jollybaker.

"Appleworm is right behind you. But I don't know how we're going to get Applehorse."

The two pegasi looks behind them and sees their friend Appleworm standing there.

"For the last time, there is no Applehorse!" He says.

"Are you sure about that?" She says strangely.

Appleworm sighs and looks at his pegasi friends.

"I'm sorry for what I said before. I really am."

Sonic gives him a hug and says, "Hey. It's okay. I understand that it's probably hard for you."

Jollybaker looks at them and says, "That's great. Now let's get out of here before someone finds us! Blue Diamond. You do know a way to get out of here, right?"

She laughs nervously.

"Of course I do."

They all stare at her.

"Kind of."

She looks down at the ground to avoid their stares.

"Okay, I don't. Sorry."

Jollybaker feels extremely annoyed by her so he let's out a sigh while shaking his head and rolling his eyes.

Appleworm gets in front of them.

"Come on. I think this is the way out of town. But Jollybaker. Are you sure you want to leave? You never accomplished anything you set out to do."

"I'm sure. There's no hope to help these unicorns. Let's just go." He says and nudges Appleworm to lead the way.

"Okay. If you want to. Just follow me," says Appleworm and starts leading them out of town.

Sneaking around in the alleys and backroads, they manage to find their way out of town and on their way back to Ponyville.
