The Life of Golden Jollybaker

by Jollybaker


Chapter 14

Jollybaker woke up on a dark, cold stone floor. He put his hoof up on his head and shook his head.
"What happened?" he said. He got up and looked around. He appeared to be in a dungeon of some sort. He saw Sonic sitting at a dungeon door but Appleworm was nowhere to be seen.
"Sonic? Where's Appleworm?"
Sonic looked over at him.
"Oh! Jollybaker! Are you feeling ok?"
He looked at himself and said, "Yeah. I'm okay. Are you?"
"Yeah, but Appleworm won't be."
Jollybaker was confused by this.
"What do you mean?"
"The other unicorns are going to banish him for bringing pegasi here to Canterlot, and for keeping all of the apples for the earth ponies."
"No. They can't do that. We've got to get out of here to help him."
Jollybaker looked around for anything that he could use to get out.
"Help who?"
Jollybaker looked over at him.
"Seriously? You forgot who we were just talking about?"
"That wasn't me."
"Hey! Over here!"
They looked at the door. They saw a girl unicorn standing there outside the door. She was blue with a rather poofy mane and long frizzy tail.
"Hi! I'm Blue Diamond!"
Sonic looked at her, clearly not sure what to say to this rather beautiful unicorn.
"Blue Diamond? Can you get the door unlocked for us?" asked Jollybaker.
She looked at the lock. "Hmm. Of course. Just give me a minute."
She pulled out a diamond and used her hoof to break it into a key shape. Then she unlocked it. The two pegasi just looked at her, surprised.
"What?" she asked.
"Oh. Nothing. It's just that, you could have just used the key hanging over there on the wall." Jollybaker said as he pointed his hoof towards the opposite wall.
She looked at it.
"Oh. Sorry. Do you want me to lock it back and unlock it with the key?"
Jollybaker was a little annoyed by the question.
"No. Let's just go. We need to help Appleworm."
"Who's Applehorse?"
Jollybaker shrugs.
"Appleworm! And he's a unicorn that is about to be banished!"
"Ohh. Right. I know where he is! Follow me!"
Blue Diamond took off running down the hall.
Sonic followed, keeping his eyes glued on her without saying a word.
Jollybaker however, just followed her. He knew not to give this unicorn any cookies. If he had, she would probably explode with happiness.
The two pegasi followed this strange unicorn all the way to the exit of the long, dark, cold and creepy dungeon.
"So glad there weren't any spiders in there. I do not like spiders." said Blue Diamond.
Jollybaker started to ask questions.
"So, why are you helping us to escape?"
"I was bored, and I don't think you should be locked up for something you didn't do." She answered.
They continued through the hallway to double giant red doors.
"You do know that we're pegasi, right?" asked Sonic.
"I have no reason to hate you," she answered while bouncing through the doors into a giant throne room.
