It was the day, friday. It came by so fast the group didn't feel ready. But they had to go before someone takes the crystal.

Sunset's POV
We all gathered after classes.
"Alright! Let's go!" I said.
"If anything goes wrong, let us know!" Fluttershy reminded us.
"And if you two see anything suspicious let us know", I added.
"Of course!" Discord nodded.
We parted ways with them and went to the house outside Hogsmade.

It took us half an hour to get there. The house was old, missing pieces and with broken windows. It seemed like something attacked it and it was left alone since then. As much as I didn't like it, something felt off.
"Okay so who will go in?" I asked.
"Don't we all go in? Now is a bit late to be too scared to go", Rarity complained. I didn't understand why were they all acting so weird.
"We are not scared! And even if we were, that's normal! There is something seriously off with this place and we need to be careful! I say someone stays to guard", I suggested.
"Agreed. It would be best to be sure no one enters", Twilight finally agreed with me on something this year.
"Okay but who will stay?" Applejack asked.
"I will!" Pinkie volonteered.
"Great! Now let's go!" Rainbow was impatient.
We entered and never would have guessed how bad of an idea this was.

Pinkie's POV
I was standing outside guarding when I heard their screams. I started to panic and quickly sent a letter to Fluttershy before entering.
Inside was dark. Everything was all over the place, it was quite a mess and hard to walk without stepping on something. But that wasn't the thing that got me worried.
I saw my friends looking at me scared. They all had a wands pointed to their heads by some mysterious group of people. They had their faces covered and didn't speak so I couldn't tell if I knew any of them.
I knew I made a mistake of entering the house when I felt a wand being pointed to my head.
"Drop your wand!" a deep voice commanded as I lowered down my wand.
I can now only hope that Fluttershy and Discord won't end up in this mess and will get help before coming here. Otherwise no one knows where we went.

Fluttershy's POV
Discord and me heard Dumbledore will be coming back today so we were going around the castle trying to cover up for our friends not being here. Trixie approached us.
"Hey, have you two seen your friend Rarity anywhere?" she seemed kinda annoyed. "I have been search for her for an hour!"
"I think she was... uhm..." I was lost and in panic.
"Studying! I know she said she has to", Discord cut in which was a relief.
"Right.... well she wasn't in the library!" Trixie was suspicious. "And why is she studying and researching so much lately? She never did that before."
"I think she is working on a new line of clothes. Something about bringing the old trends back", Discord said.
"But you should ask her more about that, we wouldn't know!" I nervously added.
"Okay, whatever, but when you see her let her know that I need her! We have something to work on." Trixie left as she said that.
Discord and me looked at each other both relieved and confused. Why would Rarity and Trixie out of all people work together on something? Maybe it was some sort of project?

Time was passing by when suddenly a letter came to me. I got worried as soon as I saw it was from Pinkie.
"It says they are in trouble!" I panicked.
"We need to go help them!" Discord was determined.
"Help who?" we froze when we heard Dumbledore who came behind us.
"Uhhh..." I didn't know what to say. I was awful under preassure.
Luckily Discord was an amazing liar: "our friend Pinkie. She decided to try and help Hagrid with animals and apparently there is too much work so we will go there now to help them."
"Sure..." Dumbledore was suspicious but let us go anyway.
We rushed outside.

3rd person's POV
Soon they arrived to the house.
"Why does it always have to be creepy old abandoned places?" Fluttershy was worried.
"I know, right? It would be awesome for a change to go somewhere more calm!" Discord agreed.
"I knew this was a bad idea..."
"Me too."
They entered the house and saw a group of mysterious people holding their friends.
"Oh no!" Pinkie said as her hopes of them bringing someone else got ruined.
"So we are all doomed? Amazing, perfectly amazing!" Twilight was sarcastic.
"Hey we came to rescue you!" Discord said.
"All by yourselves?!" Rarity was angry.
"Well yeah that was a bad idea but we would get in trouble", Fluttershy explained. She noticed something glowing in the back. It was orange, a crystal. They weren't wrong about it being here.
"Oh and you will get in so much trouble!" Dumbledore said.
Everyone turned around to see Dumbledore and the rest of professors came to rescue them.
"Phew!" Mel was relieved.
"Step away!" McGonagall told Fluttershy and Discord who moved out of their way.
The fight took a while but professors managed to get the group out and scare away the dark wizards who managed to escape.
"Thank you so much professors!" Sunset said.
"You all have a lot of explaining to do!" Dumbledore was angry. "I knew something was up because Hagrid took a 3 day trip yesterday!" he said turning around to Discord and Fluttershy who got uncomfortable.
"We can explain", Rainbow said.
"Not here!" Snape said.
"Go destroy the crystal and then we will go back to Hogwarts!" Dumbledore turned to Applejack who nodded.

Applejack's POV
I entered the house and rushed towards the crystal. I couldn't destroy it. Not after everything weird happening to those who did destroy it! There is something Rarity wanted to tell me before her crystal but didn't for some reason and now she is acting strange!
Besides these crystals can be used for good too! Hopefully no one will catch the fact I shrank this crystal, turned it into necklace and hid under my uniform.
I exited out and we all went back to Hogwarts. We were in so much trouble.
