Apple bloom jumped high into the air. She couldn’t see anything. “Oh darn, I can’t see anything!” she mumbled trying to look through the legs of ponys.
“Come on Apple bloom, once the crowd clears out will see it.” Scootalo said nudging Apple bloom’s side.
Apple bloom knew that the crowd wouldn’t move for who knows? This is by far the biggest thing that has ever happened in Ponyville. It’s not every day when an alien space craft crash lands. I hope they find some cool stuff.
“I can’t wait to see what the alien looks like!” Scootalo smirked. 
“I bet it’s just another pony!” Sweetie belle said running over to Apple bloom.
Apple bloom trotted over to Apple jack, who was waiting for the sight of the space craft. “Hey sis?” Apple bloom asked her sister. 
“Well hey there Apple bloom, what you need?” AJ Said putting a hoof on a pile of rocks.
“Sweetie belle thinks that the alien ship is just a pony. What do you think?” 
Apple jack looked down at her sister. “Well I think, that is from there outer space!”
Apple bloom hit her hoof on the ground. “I knew it!” 
As Apple Jack looked into the crowd, a blue Pegasus flew thought the sky. Her rainbow, long, mane, flapping in the cool breeze.
“Hey there Rainbow dash!” Apple jack yelled up to her.
“Hey there AJ, Have you seen the ship?” Rainbow dash said landing firmly on the ground. 
“No did you?” AJ asked. 
“Yep, I did!” She said proudly. Keeping her head up, she trotted over to Apple bloom. “It’s huge!” Rainbow dash whispered in Apple blooms ear. 
Apple bloom’s eyes opened wide. Was it really huge? Apple bloom put her hoofs on dash’s neck. “How big is it?” She asked not wanting to waist a second of information. 
“It’s as big as your barn!” 
Apple bloom imaged what it could look like. She imagined it to be a big, shiny, barn shaped ship. Maybe it was storing apples; Alien Apples. Apple bloom wanted to learn more. “More! Tell me more!” shaking Rainbow dash’s head. 
“Ok, ok I’ll tell you.” Dash said with a giggle. 
Dash crouched to the ground. “Well it’s big, but that’s not all.” Rainbow dash creped over to Sweetie belle. “The solders only got to the first room, but the next room has blood on it!” 
The cutie mark crusaders gasped in shock. 
“No pony knows what happened…. Yet!” Rainbow dash snapped. 
Apple bloom felt kind of scared. What if a pony got in there, and was torn apart!
“Stop being a baby Apple bloom!” Scootalo smirked laughing.
“I’m not a baby! I was just thinking. Maybe they will eat you, when they get out.” Apple bloom said jokingly. 
Scootalo said nothing.
“Well I didn’t finish.” Rainbow dash said to the long fills. 
The fillies stopped giggling, and looked back.
“Well they found books, cloths, food, and just the basic stuff.” Rainbow dash looked at the young fillies. They looked at dash wanting more, but she only saw what she told them. What to say? She thought. “I’ll go fight back up. See what I can see.”
“Ok Rainbow dash!” Scootalo said running over to her.
Apple bloom thought to herself. What’s behind that wall? She sat there for a few long, moments till she heard a voice. It was a voice she had heard before. It was calm, and soft. It was Flutter shy! She was up there! What was she doing up there, and on a microphone! Apple bloom had to get over there. No matter what it took! Apple bloom didn’t even listen to what Flutter shy was saying.
******************

Apple bloom was close to the front of the crowd. She had been pushing her way throw for an hour, or more. At one point, she thought that she could have at least told AJ were she was going. It was worth it.
“Have they found an alien yet?” a young colt with a blue coat said. 
No pony answered him. Apple bloom should have kept her mouth shut. “No the door to them is closed.” Apple bloom said to the colt. The colt looked down at Apple bloom. “Really? How do you know this?” 
Now Apple bloom was in a conversation; this could take forever. 
“My friend Rainbow dash, she flew up and saw it!” 
“Oh! That’s cool.” He said with his dark blue mane.
“Yah, I’m just trying to get to the front.” Apple bloom said trying to force her way through two ponys.
“Need some help?” The colt asked.
Apple bloom had a great idea. Maybe he could push me to the front. With his mussels, he could do it easy. “Would you?” Apple bloom asked.
“Yah Shure!” 
The colt lifted her onto his back.
“What’s your name sir?” Apple bloom asked.
“My name is Azul Vidrio.”
“That’s a fancy name mister.”
“You can just call me blue.” Blue said to Apple bloom, passing a few feet of ponys.
Apple bloom noticed Blue’s cutie mark. It was a computer, with a key board, mouse, and a sheet of paper. “You got a nice cutie mark over here.” 
Blue’s face saddened a little. “Yah it isn’t what my parents wanted.”
“Well that’s a crying shame.” Apple bloom said to him. “I like it!”
“Thanks kid.” Azul paused. “I never asked you what your name was.” 
“Oh, my name is Apple bloom.”
“Apple bloom” was the last word we said. After that, we were at the front of the crowd.
Rainbow dash was right, this thing was huge. It wasn’t barn shaped, but still the size of one. The sides were torn, chunks of metal spread everywhere. A twenty foot long wing, stabbed into the ground. Piles of books, cloths, and some kind of glass cups. Was everywhere. Solders were everywhere. There was a giant door. One side was peeled open. Ponys ran in, and out. “I want to get closer.” Apple bloom said to Azul.
“What!” Azul said in shock at the small filly. “No way, I can’t let you go in there!” 
Apple boom looked up at him. “Why not?” 
Azul looked confused. “I-I can’t just let you risk your life.”
“Come with me then.” Apple bloom said walking under the police line, that surrounded the crash site.
Azul grabbed her tail, and pulled her back.
“Apple bloom, you can’t just march right in there. There are solders everywhere!” 
Apple bloom looked up and down the ship. Holes and tares filled the walls. Maybe she could fit into one? She had no idea how to get in. Were to go. When to go? Apple bloom thought over, and over again. Then she saw it, a small hole. It was right above a tail wing. Just right for Apple bloom to fit in. know how to get there.
“Hey, can you get me over there?” Apple bloom asked, pointing a hoof to the small hole.
Azul looked at the long fifty meter distance. “There is no way; you would make it that far.”
“I can make it; I just need to run at the right time.” Apple bloom was confident of herself. She had never sprinted very far, but this she could do. “I’ll just run across.”
“Can’t we wait till night?” Azul looked concern. What if this small filly, went to jail for this?
“No, there will be more at night. Besides I just have to find Flutter shy.” Without waiting for Blue to respond; she dashed out into the open. Her hart raced, as she sprinted across the grass. There were shouts, coming from the crowd. Apple bloom looked behind her. Two solders, dressed in gold armor, chased Apple bloom. Run faster! She thought eyes wide.
“Halt!” A solder shouted.
“In the name of Celestial!” The other shouted.
Apple bloom was running out of steam. Five, four, three! She shouted in her head, as she got closer. Two, one! Apple bloom dove. She slid into the small hole. Apple bloom dropped.
Apple bloom stood back up. The hole lead to an eight, foot drop.
“Get back up here!” A solder yelled down the hole.
Apple bloom looked around for a way out of the hole. There was a cat walk. Apple bloom ran over to it, and looked down. 
It was a mess of wire, pipes, and oil. Steam shot out of pipes, and oil dripped from almost every hinge. 
“What a mess!” she said to herself.
Apple bloom past two rooms after that, both torn apart from the crash. The third room was a small bed room. Two bunk bed, two dressers, and a table. Apple bloom trotted over to the table. It was piled with papers, and books. One paper caught Apple blooms attention. She read it to herself.

Apple bloom was super interested in the aliens now. She wanted to keep this note. Looking around the room, she spotted a bag. It had a strap; this would make it easy to carry.
She slipped on the green bag. Slipped in the note, and walked over to the dresser. There was nothing in there, just crap. She found other cool stuff. Like a magazine, called “Guns and ammo,” and a small box of metal objects. They looked like the objects of the magazine, next to the stick thing.
In the next room she found coins, more magazines, and a wood case. It had some thick sticks in it. On the front of the box, it said, “cigars.” 
“This must be something fancy!” Apple bloom said excitedly.
She slid the fancy stick into her bag, and trotted down the hall way. The hallway was dark. Only a few lights on the halls shined. Apple bloom lost her excitement, when she stepped in something sticky. She looked down in shock. 
“AWWWW!” Apple bloom yelled as she jumped back. There was blood ever were. On the floor and walls. Apple bloom stared in horror. “Is any pony there?” She said fearfully. Tears welled up in her eyes. Apple bloom had never seen such gore. 
“Help!” A voice welled. 
“Who is there?” Apple bloom said backing up. Apple bloom shivered in fear.
Then without warning, a bloody figurer crawled from around the corner. It was horrifying! It had a flat face; with blood spilling from his belly.
“Please, help me!” the thing said in a dying voice.
Apple bloom couldn’t do anything. It was dying. Maybe these things were the aliens. Apple bloom took a deep breath, and walked over to the alien. 
Before she got to him, he told Apple bloom. “You have to save the others.”
“Wh-who?” Apple bloom asked. 
“The other crew members; There in the safe room.” The alien coughed up blood, then said. “Go down the hall. Then turn right; there is a room.” The alien coughed violently. “Then go to the dresser, and grab the key.” He coughed again. “Then go down the next hall, they are at the end.” The alien gave a last violent cough, and then took his last breath. 
He was dead.
Apple bloom said goodbye, and ran down the hall.

**********************
Apple bloom ran to the dresser. It was made out of metal; with three copper out lining. Apple bloom opened the first drawer. Apple bloom took coins, and a pack of “cigarettes.” Apple bloom didn’t know what cigarettes were, but she took them. In the second drawer, there was a few pens, and pencils. She stuffed them in her bag. She found the key along with a first aid kit. 
Apple bloom ran down the next hall. There was a metal door; with small computer. She ran to the computer. There were five commands. One was overcome. Apple bloom clicked it.
“Who is there?” A voice came over a speaker in the wall.
“Apple bloom, your friend told me to come here.”  She said tapping the door.
“You’re not human…… I can’t let you pass.” The voice said in fear.
“No, don’t go, I want to know what you are!”
Nothing happened. Apple bloom knocked on the steel door. “Please! I want to know about you!” Apple bloom’s curiosity was killing here. She had to know about the aliens. What are they like? Do they eat grass like ponys? “Please I want to learn about you!” again there was no answer. Apple Bloom felt disappointment in herself. She tried so hard to get down here. “No, I’m not going back up!” She yelled into the microphone on the wall. “Let me in!” again there was just fuzz on the microphone. “Let me in!” she yelled.
“Apple bloom!” a voice came from behind her. It was Azul.
“A-Azul, what are you doing here?” Apple bloom said in shock. She turned around. Azul was with two other ponys; both solders dressed in gold armor. 
“I’m glad to see you all right foal.” One of the solders said.
One of the solders put a hoof on Apple bloom shoulder. 
“Look, I found the aliens!” Apple bloom said exactly to Azul.
“Where?” the solder asked.
“In this door!” Apple bloom said running over to the steel door. She knocked on it. “There in here, but they won’t open the door.” 
The solder studied the door up, and down. “It looks strong!” He said in a ruffed voice. He walked over to the computer. “Do we know anypony that can hack computers?” He asked the young solder by Azul.
“You mean Weez?” The solder asked scratching his head with a hoof. 
“Weez? Is he the one that was messing around with the computers?” He asked looking at the door again.
“Yah, that’s him, but he left for Canterlot.”
The solder turned to the solder. “Well, we need to get him back down here.”
“I know how to hack.” Azul said stepping forward. 	
“You do?” The solder asked him.
“Yes, I’ll be happy to take a look at it.” Azul said trotting over to the computer.
“Well this is great!” The solder said happily. “Alvin, go get officer Derpy!”
“Yes sir!” The solder said running off.
Apple bloom felt trill going up her spine. She was going to see the aliens! Face to Face. What if there is a fight? She asked herself with worry. What if they try to eat the solders? These thoughts ran through her head over, and over again. Then Apple bloom heard clopping in the hall. It was the solders. There were over a dozen of them this time. All in gold armor, some were carrying bags full of containers. One Pegasus walked up to Apple bloom. The Pegasus looked young, not too young; the age of Apple Jack. She had yellow eyes, and a blond mane. She had an eye patch over her right eye. Apple bloom looked at her cutie mark. It was bubbles. 
“So you are the foal that ran into here?” The young Pegasus asked.
She had a soft, but ruff voice. Apple Bloom knew she was in trouble now. She took a gulp, and said. “Yes I am.” Apple bloom knew that she had server punishment on the way. 
The Pegasus towered over Apple bloom. “Well you’re in deep trouble Foal.” She said. “Do you know what you could have gotten into?” She asked.
Apple bloom stood still. Looking at the ground she said. “I’m sorry; I wanted to know about the aliens.” 
The Pegasus still stood there. “What’s your name?” She said roughly. 
“My name is Apple bloom.” Apple bloom said in a whimpering voice. 
“Well Apple bloom, my name is officer Derpy. I am second in charge. Under Princess Celestial orders, I am in charge of the military.” Derpy looked up from Apple bloom. “Alvin, I want you to keep this Foal up here. Me, and the solders will move into the room.”
“Yes Officer Derpy.” Alvin said putting a hoof around Apple Bloom’s neck.
Officer Derpy trotted over to Azul. “Open this door.”
“Yes officer.” Azul said typing on the key board. 
Azul typed for a few minutes it seemed. Typing long strips of codes, and clicking on files. It looked hard to Apple bloom. After around ten minutes. The door let out a loud metal sequel. Steam shot out the sides of the door, and the door shot open. Mist flowed out over the floor. Officer Derpy stood up.
“Let’s move.” She said in almost a whisper.
The Solders Ran into the mist, ready for a fight. Apple bloom thought to herself. Will they come back?
