Mr Septonic
Chapter 1
Discovery
Dirt. That was all he could see. Or think about seeing as he had no eyes to see with. He would have tried to stretch but being surrounded by dirt limits movement, and when there is to nothing move. He became alarmingly aware of this, and started to panic. However, he calmed himself quickly, deciding that getting riled up was no solution to the matter at hand. He also took notice to the fact that he had a full field of view. He could look behind him completely by turning. He, however, did not turn. Only his gaze did. So, after taking a minute to let all of the shocking news sink in, he chose to wait. Wondering if anything would find him, and hopefully dig him out. The possibility was slim if not none, but he hoped. Oh how he hoped.
"Sweetie get up! You promised to help with my jewel hunt right?!" said Rarity as she grabbed her bag.
"I'll be right down!" screamed back Sweetie Belle. With a sigh she got out of bed, went into the bathroom, and freshened up a little. As in throwing water on her face, then drying off. Coming down the stairs quickly, she turned into the kitchen, finding nothing but her bags on the table. She grabbed them, and ran outside to join her sister.
"Finally." Rarity said with great exaggeration. "Are you ready to head off?"
"Yup! But I was thinking we could take Applebloom and Scoots with us too."
"Ugh." Rarity glared at Sweetie Belle, who had put on a large smile. "Fine. But only if they are not busy."
Ten minutes later...
As they reached Sweet Apple Acres to pick up the first filly, they saw Applebloom at the front gate, talking with Scootaloo. Rarity thought this as too much a coincidence, but decided not to argue as that might just make things worse for her.
"Hey ya'll! What are you two doing here?" Applebloom said this kind of slow, almost as if it was practiced before hand. Rarity just stared at them with a very nonchalant look on her face.
"Come on, we haven't got all day." Rarity spat out the words with very little care, and proceeded to walk away while the girls behind her cheered to themselves with glee.

As they arrived at the spot, selected by Rarity beforehand, Rarity began to tell them what they were going to do. "Now that we're here, lets assign some jobs. You two," she said as she looked at Scootaloo and Applebloom, "can dig up the ones we find, while me and Sweetie Belle find them."
"Got it!" All three of them said in unison.
"Now Sweetie," Rarity then turned to her sister. "Do you remember how to use the spell I taught you?"
"I think so." Sweetie Belle concentrated hard, and after a little bit, managed to charge the spell to full working order. "I found one!" She squealed in joy. Rarity chuckled to herself, as the gem Sweetie Belle found was no doubt small. However, finding one that quickly did impress her a little. Aiming her own spell at the spot Sweetie Belle was, she stared at the stone not six hooves from her. And it was beautiful. Oddly enough, it was a perfectly round hunk of amber. Not 5 inches long. Normally, Rarity wouldn't be interested in some random piece of Amber stuck in the ground, but this one was different. It called to her, begging for attention. So she did the only thing she could do.
Dig the thing up.
After Applebloom and Scootaloo were done, there was a good size hole in the ground. The amber was even on a pedestal made from dirt that the two left there. Picking it up with her magic, Rarity gave it a hungry look of satisfaction. Then, putting it away in her bag, the four of them went on to find more.
With the three girls there to help her, Rarity managed to pull a load that was near, if not double, her previous loads. And what's more, it only took them three hours to do so. Satisfied, Rarity led the troop home. First dropping off Applebloom, and Scootaloo running off towards home as they got back to the center of Ponyville. As they were heading back to the boutique, Rarity barely noticed the slight change in weight in her saddlebags. She went on, soon bumping into Twilight, who struck up a conversation with her. Sweetie Belle was sent on to go home. All the while, the amber had found its new home half submerged in dirt, a ways down the path they came.
