Finding the Griffon's Goblet

"The Griffon's Goblet huh seems legit" said Feather Heart pulling down a blue covered "Daring Do Series" book from a shelf. The white coated, Pegasus mare walked over and sat at a table inside of her school's library not knowing the dangerous adventure she is about to create

"I've got to show them this" screamed Feather Heart, running out of the library's doors. Quickly dodging other school ponies walking down the hallway she galloped to meet her friends at lunch time. Her purple and blue mane flew into her vision as she ran, making her crash into others.

"Hey watch where you're going"

"I'm sorry" Feather Heart called behind her while bolting down the stairs to the cafeteria and running over to the circular wooden table, pulled out a chair and quickly sat down with her three other friends.

"Jeez Feather Heart, calm down much" chuckled Forte Melody at her own joke.

"Look look" said Feather slamming the Daring Do book loudly onto the table.

"Um, it's a book" said Acoustic, a light green Pegasus with pink hair.

"Duh, I can see that, but look closer"

The three other ponies leaned in closer to the book, their noses almost touching it.

"Feather, it's just a normal book I don't see anything unusual about it"

The white Pegasus face hoofed herself, "Don't you see, it's the Griffon's Goblet"

"Yeah but I-"

"It says here that, the Griffon's Goblet was the cup that the great King Beak drank out of when he ruled the Griffons, it was made out of gold and lined with multi-colored diamonds, it says a magic unicorn was once saved by the king and granted him a gift by giving him the goblet, it also says whoever drinks out of it gets good fortune and luck"

"I still don't see what this has to do with us" said Forte blowing her messy, navy blue hair out of her face.

"Don't you get it, we could be the ones who find it, we could be heroes while getting our good fortune, look I did some research and planned out what we could do" Feather opened the book and there was a piece of paper folded into a square. The Pegasus unfolded the paper and began to tell her friends her idea.

"See we start here, where we live,and we sneak to the airport an-"

"Hold a second now, sneak out, are you sure about that, my parents will kill me if they caught me" worried Forte

"Don't worry about it, see after we go to the airport we go to the mountains and we go and climb it and we go find the ruins of King Beak's castle and we get that goblet and bam we get back home in four days leaving us five more days of Spring Break"

"Yeah I agree with that, seems like a pretty fun adventure, I mean I have nothing else to do anyways" said Acoustic

"Even if that seems like a pretty good plan, the whole Griffon's Goblet thing is just a old mare's tale" piped up Plus, a red unicorn with a braided brown mane.

"I have to agree with Plus this time, what if it is just a mare's tale and we went there for no reason whatsoever, don't you think we're rushing this a bit?" said Forte

"Well it doesn't matter now, who's up for adventure or what, put your hooves in the middle if you are"

Instantly Feather and Acoustic's hands went into the middle of the table, Plus and Forte looked at each other. Forte eventually shrugged her shoulders and put her light blue hoof in the middle. There was a sigh from the red unicorn and eventually she put her hoof in the middle.

"Okay tonight is the time we move out, is everyone ready, remember we meet at the Detrot airport, 'Kay" worried Feather, tapping her hooves on the lunch table.

"Calm down Feather, we got this 'Kay. Why are you so worried you planned this after all"

"I know and I'm sorry Acoustic, it's just I've never done this before and I'm worried, it sounded better when I was planning this in my head but I'll be fine. Did you guys pack every thing you need?"

"Yes" chimed the three other ponies, together.

"Alright, remember Detrot airport 11:00 p.m., bring fifty bits with you"

The white Pegasus flew through the cool night sky and finally reached the Detrot airport. Waiting at the gate, she already bought her ticket and gone through security. Quickly sitting down on a empty chair, she fumbled with her saddle bag for awhile, worried that the others may not show up. Soon Acoustic ran over, easing Feather's worried mind.

"Are the rest here yet?" Asked the green Pegasus.

"No not yet"

Acoustic nodded her head and sat down next to Feather.

Soon Plus came walking over. Her face was filled with regret and sadness. Feather decided to let her be alone for a while. An hour passed and still no sign of Forte.

"Where is that blue unicorn" worried Feather.

"Don't worry, she'll get her, probably just getting food, am I right" chuckled Acoustic nervously.

But all three ponies knew inside of them that something has happened.

"Now boarding to Griffon Village"

It has been half an hour and still no signs of Forte.

"Well what are we going to do Feather"

"We bought the tickets already Acoustic, I guess we just have to leave without her"

"Let's just board last just in case she comes late"

The three ponies sat there waiting for another 20 minutes. "Last call for boarding to Griffon Village".

"I guess we have to go now, there's no choice" said Plus.

The three friends handed there tickets to the flight attendant and found their seats. Disappointed and grim faced they ignored the safety instructions lecture that they've heard so many times before. Suddenly the voice of a familiar unicorn popped up.

"I'M HERE, I'M HERE (wheeze), DON'T WORRY EVERYPONY"

The three ponies looked over theirs seats seeing their other friends they have been desperately waiting for soaking wet with mud all over her hooves even her saddle bag was dripping water. She slowly started walking over to them, every pony staring at her as she did.

"What happened to you Forte" asked Plus

"Have you ever ran through sprinklers while being chased by five huge dogs"

"Uh no"

"Good don't do it"

The flight attendant just rolled her eyes and went back to her safety procedures while the four friends discussed about their trips, not knowing the obstacles that they may face.
