Ponies aren't very Good at digging...

The six ponies were sent to a forested area. Pinkie Pie was the first to awake, A slime hopped up to her. "Ooh! A Slimey thing, what's your name? I want to throw you a party! Pinkie Pie exclaimed to the slime, which hopped up to her, a little red three popped above her head. "Oww.. What was that for?" Pinkie asked, the slime not caring in the slightest, it then hopped over her. The other ponies slowly awoke. "Where in tarnation are we?" Applejack questioned.

"How should I know? It was Discord that sent us here! Twilight exclaimed. Noticing the slimes swarming around her, then, she noticed Pinkie Pie chasing after them. "Oh Pinkie, why are you chasing a pile of gel?" She then queried. Pinkie Pie took no notice, what she did notice, is that she had a pick-axe. "Hey Twilight? What's this thingy?" Pinkie Pie asked as she swung it, damaging the slime, as a little orange 4 popped  above said slime. "It's a pick-axe Pinkie, it's used for mining..." Twilight explained, while unknowingly doing some mining of her own. Rainbow Dash was the next to wake up, obviously, she tried doing some flying, she couldn't. "What the hay? I can't fly! My Wings are still here, but...But...GAHH!" Rainbow Dash shouted in anger.

Meanwhile back at Canterlot Castle

"DISCORD!" Celestia shouted, scanning the room for any signs of anything unusual. Nothing was out of the norm, except for Discord watching a portal tv, eating popcorn. "DISCORD, WHERE ARE THE ELEMENTS OF HARMONY'S BEARERS?!" Celestia roared.

"Oh them? I just put them through a little...teeny test, it did kind of go wrong, sending them to a SLIGHTLY different dimension, but the test is still practically the same, care to watch?" Discord grinned.

"Hmmm, let me think...NO, I DEMAND YOU BRING THEM BACK." Celestia boomed, in the royal canterlot voice

"Aww, come on Celestia, If you get TOO angry, I suppose you could send me into the dimension, and see how well they have progressed..." Discord chimed

"then again, I was going to give them a test regardless... I will see how your ploy falls into hoof, Then I will decide your fate." The Alicorn sternly told Discord.
