We left the Winter Mountain and took off our winter clothes since we were now in a warmer area.
"This is more I like it, warm breezes and soft grass." said Horseshoe Henry.
"Yeah." Bubble Burst agreed.
"Alright everypony, now our next stop is the Caves of Crystals."
"CRYSTALS?!? I LOVE CRYSTALS!!!" Sharpy Gem shouted excitingly.
"Me too." Izzy replied. "I can't believe we have so much in common."
Then, we all continued our walk. I did had a good time on this quest, but I was still thinking about how I got my gifts.
After 20 minutes of walking from the Winter Mountains, we'd finally reach the Caves of Crystals. The cave entrance was big enough to fit even a big dinosaur.
"This must be it, the Caves of Crystals." I figured.
"I can't wait to see the crystals in there." Sharpy said excitingly.
Then, we all entered the cave. We had to be careful in the cave because there may be loose rocks that could hit our heads, and that reminded me about the storm from yesterday. Luckily, we all brought our helmets for such an occasion. It was a little dark in the cave, so we used our flashlights to see better. We didn't see any crystals yet, but then, Sharpy bumped into one.
"Hey everypony, look. I found a big red ruby." she shouted to us.
It really was a ruby sticking out of the cave floor. When Sharpy was touching it, something amazing happened, there were more crystals glowing around the rest of the caves. Now, we were able to see in the cave.
We were walking through the cave to get to the other end. The Cave of Crystals was another beautiful place to visit Equestria. It was filled with crystals and gems like rubies, sapphires, emeralds, amethysts, garnets, jades, and many more. It may be the perfect place for mining.
"You know everything, some of the crystals are really amazing, we should pick them." Izzy said to us.
"Okay then." Pipp replied to Izzy.
"Luckily, I got lots of baskets with me." Fruity said as she took out her baskets.
Then, we all began to pick some crystals, big and small. When we touched them, they began to glow a little brighter. Then, we put them into our baskets. Sharpy was picking a lot of crystals since she adored crystals.
"Isn't this fun, everypony?" Pipp asked us.
"Some of these will really be perfect for my new works of art." Izzy said as she put some small crystals on her mane.
"I really love the light and colors, this going to be the best trip ever." Color Carol said happily.
Just as we were still picking crystals, Fearful Moe was struggling to get one.
"Fearful?" Rollette Skate asked. "Are you having any trouble?"
"This tricky turquoise crystal won't come loose." Fearful answered as he was still struggling.
Then, Fearful finally got the crystal loose, but he was tripping over and fell onto Rollette.
"We're okay." Rollette said to everypony.
After we got our baskets full of crystals, we kept on walking.
We were still walking through the caves, it may take a while.
"How long is this gonna take?" Carver Crafty asked.
"We just have to keep spelunking until we reach the other side." Hitch said.
And then all of the sudden, we discovered bigger crystals. Unlike the crystals, there were some frozen prehistoric creatures inside them. They were all in order from the very beginning of the age of Earth: Triassic, Jurassic, Cretaceous, Cenozoic, Paleolithic, Mesolithic, and Neolithic. There were dinosaurs, mammoths, and caveponies. The crystals also contained a big UFO from outer space, we began to wonder how it got here.
Then, we approached the crystal slides.
"Hey look, everypony. This crystal looks like a slide." I say.
"A crystal slide?" Awesome." Izzy hopped happily.
"I bet this is the fastest way to the end of the caves." Zipp figured.
"Then, let's slide!" I told everypony.
We all began to slide down, and it was scary and fun at the same time. There were a number of naturally formed crystal slides, though along the way, some of them were peppered with sharp crystals that formed upside-down and upward along with a number of natural drops and pits that led to more slides. We were sliding pretty fast, we did some loop-de-loops on the cave walls, bouncing up and down, took different tunnels at forks, fly off ramps to a different slide, and avoid the sharp crystals so we didn't get cuts. Until finally, I found light, we'd reach the end of the caves. But, we couldn't stop that the crystal slides were slippery, we zoomed through the cave exit, and started falling. Although, me and the other pegasi were able to fly, the others fell on the ground, but luckily, no one got hurt.
"Ah man, I'm feeling dizzy." said Disgusted Lex.
"And for my next trick, let's do that again!" Izzy shouted.
"Not a good idea, Izzy. I'm just having enough of sliding for today." said Fearful Moe.
"Thank goodness, we're back to the surface." said Astro Alex.
"Yeah baby!" Zipp shouted. "Who's up for round 2?"
"Not now, Zipp. We need to keep going." Pipp told her sister.
Then, we all got up and continue our journey, again.
"Well, we made it through the Crystal Caves, and it was amazing." Sunny said. "But now, let's get to the Cloudy Fields."
"The Cloudy Fields?" Cloudy asked. "Is that in the skies?"
"Of course." Sunny answered. "It's not far from here and there are some hot air balloons over there that they can get us up there."
Sunny was right, there was like 20 hot air balloons up ahead. Once we'd reach the balloons, we climbed aboard and we flew up toward the Cloudy Fields. We landed on the clouds, got off the balloons, and then we began to walk on the clouds, all thanks Ellagant Glare's magic spell to let all unicorns and earth ponies to walk on clouds since they may fall through.
The Cloudy Fields was another one of those best places to visit in Equestria. The clouds were very soft like pillows, we wanted to have a real cloud pillow. Not only the clouds are soft , they were also bouncy we love to bounce all day. While we were bouncing and floating on clouds, I discovered something on the clouds.
"Hey everypony, I found something." I say.
What I pointed at is some ball like objects.
"I think I found some cloud balls."
While we were passing the cloud balls, they began to move around the clouds and bouncing up and down.
"Hey, the cloud balls are moving." Bronze Feather replied.
"You're right, they're not only moving, some of them are different colors." Color Carol said.
"Wait a minute." I say.
I looked closely, and I can see that the cloud balls have tails, ears, legs, wings, and faces.
"These aren't cloud balls. They're..... dogs!"
And I was right, the Cloudy Fields are populated with Pomeranian dogs with wings. Pomeranian dogs are the cutest dogs ever, and also the softest as well Zipp and Pipp's mother had a Pomeranian of her own in Zephyr Heights.
"A big cloudy fields of dogs?" Cloudy asked.
"A whole field of dogs." said Hitch.
"I love dogs, mom has one Pomeranian with her." said Pipp.
"They are so cute." said Izzy.
All the dogs are incredibly cute, some of us were very distracted by holding, hugging, and playing with them. But, we knew we had to keep going, so some of us helped the rest of us to stay focused.
While we were still walking on the clouds, I discovered something way down to the ground. It was an abandoned old village with cottages, a windmill, an apple farm, and a castle. It was Princess Twilight Sparkle's old town; Ponyville.
Over 1,100 years ago, Twilight's mentor, Princess Celestia, sent her there to learn about the Magic of Friendship. From lesson after lesson, Twilight made 5 best friends in Ponyville: a unicorn named Rarity, 2 pegasi named Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy, and 2 earth ponies named Applejack and Pinkie Pie. Throughout her journeys, Twilight had accomplished a lot of quests throughout Equestria and beyond. She and her friends had redeemed Princess Luna, Discord, Sunset Shimmer, Starlight Glimmer, Stygian, Tempest Shadow(Fizzlepop Berrytwist), and Chancellor Neighsay, and defeated Chrysalis, Sombra, Tirek, the Sirens, the Storm King, and Cozy Glow.
The one best thing Twilight had accomplished was that she had finished one of Starswirl the Bearded's spells, and she became an alicorn and the Princess of Friendship. Her castle was made after she and her friends unlocked a chest from the Tree of Harmony. Together, even at the School of Friendship, they discovered and taught everypony and every creature around Equestria and beyond the Magic of Friendship. They had to keep the world balanced with life making peace all around. And when Princesses Celestia and Luna retired, Twilight and her friends were now rulers of Equestria and they attended the Council of Friendship once every full moon. And, it was amazing of how Twilight made the world a better place.
"Hey everypony, I found Ponyville down there." I say as I pointed down at the village.
They were all really happy that we'd found Ponyville because that's near the Everfree Forest, where Cozy Glow was hiding.
"Great job, Special." Sunny said to me.
"Well, how are we gonna got down there?" Ellagant Glare asked.
As we were trying to think, Bubble Burst had found a bunch of clouds looking like a staircase, leading to the ground.
"Hey everypony, let's use those clouds to climb down." Bubble said.
Then, we began to climb down the clouds one by one, step by step, one at a time. It was a long way down, but after 3 minutes, we all made it to solid ground. And now, we can look around Ponyville. For Sunny, she was excited to see Ponyville, her father told her everything about it when she was a little filly.
