Rarity discovers that her supply of gems is awfully low, and it probably didn't help that she used a lot of them just the other day in designing a new dress. She needs more gems if she's ever going to finish the new clothing line she already designed. Yet, most caves in Ponyville she's already been to. Determined to find more gems than before, she will go to a cave far from Ponyville. She did mention it to her other friends, but it seemed they were too busy to pay attention. Hmph. She invites Spike along like last time so that the two of them can gather enough gems for her new clothing line. Even though she wanted to gather more gems than that...
Rarity and Spike travels to the cave, but will discover more than just gems. Within the cave, unknown to Rarity before she traveled there, many bat ponies migrated there. It was that time of year, yet one bat pony is left behind. She will need their help if she is going to return to her colony, or ever face them, again. Not only that, she will need their friendship if she is ever going to do either. Will Rarity and Spike be able to help her? Why was the bat pony left behind? And, why didn't Rarity's friends tag along for the ride? -- Stay tuned in to find out!
--- Note: If readers are hoping that the romance is between Spike and Rarity, it's not. The romance is between two other ponies, yet I will go into a little for Rarity and Spike. ---
Is there going to be any solid Spike shipping?
3407236 What do you mean by soild Spike shipping?
3407260
Well the opposite of Fluid Spike shipping of course,
Or... Mabey the opposite of Gas Spike Shipping?
3407279>>3407260 I mean does Spike actually ends up with someone. I know that this isn't a Sparity though it does have a little of it. Is he going to be with someone?
3407383 Oh that's what you mean. Okay, sorry I didn't understand. Well to be honest I like to keep true to the show, and try to avoid shipping characters myself. I'll have some romantic tension between Rarity and Spike, but they won't end up together.
Although I'm planning for someone to fall for Spike, and we'll see how that goes
(trying not to give away spoilers)
I'm liking it so far. I think I have a guess as to who you're wanting to fall for Spike too. If I'm right I will adopt the identity of Sherclop Holmes.
3414001 Hehe, we shall see now won't we?
3414890
That we shall. I believe the game is a-hoof
Well, you have my curiosity.
Everyone reading the story or finished with it: Please read this comment~
By the name of Celestia.
If you have been reading my blog, you would already know that this story was created to be entered into EQ's Batpony writeoff. For those who have not, well now you do. Thanks to their 10,000 character limit, I had to really restrict myself not to add more to the story. Not only that, I had midterms this week and had to finish the story before the deadline.
The ending is abrupt. And I know you guys are all wondering many different things. But, before you ask any questions, please keep reading this comment.
1. This is not the end of the adventure. I will be writing another story that will continue our adventures with Jaden and the rest of the main 6. I promised a lot of kewl story twists, but I wasn't able to pull them off thanks to so little time. I expect to do so once I start the other story.
2. The ending is not quite the end. I need to edit the previous two chapters to correct any mistakes, and then I want to add in more to the ending since I have some characters left. Hopefully it won't take too long. And I'll comment again once its done
-- That's all for now, and I hope that clears up a few things. You may ask whatever questions you have, and I'm very sorry if the pace was too rushed for you. Like I said, I had to rush it >-< Me sorry
Interesting.....Though Sweetie Bell needs to be "Sweetie Belle", but this story seems interesting though
3430488 Oh! I didn't know... I'll have to correct that
Alright.. so far Prologue - Ch. 3 have been edited of all mistakes and typos. Including correcting Sweetie Belle's name
I'll comment again once I've finishing editing the last few chapters. I hope that you all enjoy the true ending once I'm finished 
EVERYONE - The story ending has been edited since I had the character room to do the ending I originally intended! Hopefully everypony reads it for it is almost a complete different ending!
Like I said before, another story will be based off this one that will go in Jaden's adventures as a bat pony~! I hoped you all enjoyed!
This is great, a little sad that this is it, but if you use this as a opening story to a story line its hook line and sinker
3473415 I've already said this, but I'll repeat in case you didn't see it.
This isn't it, I'm continuing the story in a separate story. Consider this like Book 1 in a series, and the series will follow Jaden later on.
And.. uhm.. I'm not sure what you mean by "aj opening"
This is a first story, and I generally give a mulligan for a first story. It takes a while to figure out what you're doing. With that said, I didn't make it through the first few paragraphs--they kept switching back and forth between past tense and present tense, and I was too distracted by the shift to pay attention.
3485951 I have a habit of switching so that you can tell what they already did and what they're currently doing.
If you're saying that it got too confusing.. though... 
I suppose I'll look over it and see if I can see what you're seeing..
3407260>>3407279 That, or...

Maybe with a cardboard box involved.
Not bad at all. Could of been a little longer, but it was still good
3694833 Oh, believe me, it would have been longer! Ya see, this was a short story for a contest I was entering for EQ. But, it wasn't able to score too high.
If you're a true fan though, look forward to Book 2 of this series. I'm going to have Jaden introduce everypony to the race of batponies ;3
Okie dokie
I will be honest and say I really didn't got to invested with this one. The idea is there but it just need to go a little further.
