Chapter one
It was a bright and beautiful day in Ponyville like it's been for the past 2 weeks, nothing exciting has happened for a long time, some ponies were getting bored, while others liked the peace. Twilight Sparkle and her friends were having their afternoon picnic like they do every Tuesday.
"We should all go on a campin' trip." Applejack just blurted out.
"A camping trip! Why on earth would you want to go into the woods to sleep," Rarity paused for a moment and said, "outside?" she finished with a disgusted face.
"Cause we haven't done anything exciting for a long time." Applejack replied.
"I think it's an excellent idea AJ." Said Twilight clapping her hooves together. "And I have the perfect camping book for it!"
"Of course you do." Said Rainbow Dash, rolling her eyes.
"Camping sounds like a lot of fun!" Pinkie Pie shouted bouncing up and down.
"Oh, I don't know, what if there are dangerous creatures up in the woods." Flutershy said in her quiet voice.
"Oh don't you worry your pretty little head Fluttershy, there ain't nothing to worry about." Applejack replied with a smile on her face.
"Well, if you say so." Fluttershy softly nodded her head.
"Fine, I will go but don't expect me to ruff it." Said Rarity.
"Alright then we can all leave Thursday morning." Said Twilight Sparkle.
They finished their lunch and began walking back to their homes, each excited about Thursday well, aside from Rarity of course.
Back at the Apple Family's house, Applejack began to pack her bags for the camping trip, while she was packing Applebloom came walking in.
"Hey sis, what you up to?" Applebloom said with a confused look on her face.
"I'm packin'." Replied AJ.
"Are you leavin' us!" Applebloom said with a worried look.
"No, of course not, I'm just goin' campin' for a few days, that's all." AJ replied Calming the little filly down.
"Campin'! I love campin'! Can I come too?" Asked the little filly.
"Sure you can sis, but you have to do yer own packin'." Replied Applejack.
"Oooh, oooh, can I invite Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo to come to?!" Ask Apple Bloom with hope in her eyes.
"Of course you can, the more the merrier I always say." Said the Orange pony.
While Appejack was packing her bags the other ponies where packing there's, Rarity packed her inflatable house, Rainbow Dash packed just her sleeping bag and a Daring Doo book, Pinkie Pie packed candy and her sleeping bag, Fluttershy Packed a sleeping bag and the extra pillow's and a first aid kit, and Twilight packed a sleeping bag, and all the camping books she could find in her library she also grabbed bug spray, bear repellent, and poison ivy medicine. By Wednesday everypony was packed and ready for Thursday, so all they had to do was their chores until it was time to leave.
Thursday morning every pony met in the town square and started off into the mountains for their camping trip.
It was a long hike but they made it to the first camp site.
"Wow Rarity how much stuff did you pack?" Asked Twilight.
"Just a few necessities." Rarity informed.
"It looks like you packed over nine thousand bags." said the pink earth pony.
"Over nine thousand! That's impossible even for me, I only packed thirty two." exclaimed Rarirty with a smirk on her face. "Sweetie belle can't you unpack any faster? I can stand here any longer" she said in a wine.
"Coming, sis." Sweetie belle said with a grunt.
Sweetie belle pulled out a big chair for Rarity to sit on, then she blew up the inflatable tent and then put all of, RARITY'S stuff inside it. The other ponies weren't even surprised at her anymore. Applejack went ahead to go get firewood while the other's set up their tents. Applejack came back with the firewood and set up the campfire, Rainbow Dash got logs for everypony to sit on, and Sweetie belle got Rarity a glass of fresh squeezed juice. Rainbow Dash Started to tell campfire stories.
"They say in these very wood's are haunted by a," she paused for a dramatic effected. "Werewolf!" She finished with a shout.
"A werewolf?" Everpony asked with shivers.
"A werewolf." Rainbow exclaimed. "They say a camper came up to these very woods and never came back down."
Rainbow dash finished her story leaving everypony shivering in fear.
"Is all that story true Rainbow dash?" Ask Sweetie belle with almost a tear going down her cheek.
Rainbow dash didn't know whether to lie to the little filly or tell her the truth so she blurted out.
"It's just an old pony tale, no pony knows for sure if that really happened." she said with a smile on her face.
Sweetie belle sighed with relief. "So it's possible none of that even happened?"
Rainbow dash nodded.
"Alright y'all time for bed, we've got a long day tomorrow." Applejack exclaimed
They all headed to their tent's, Applejack and Apple Bloom shared a tent, Rarity and Sweetie Belle in another, and Scootaloo in Rainbow dash in the other, and PInkie pie, Fluttershy and Twilight Sparkle crammed themselves in one tent. They all woke up in the morning and packed all of their supplies, bag's, and the last of the firewood. They ate their breakfast and set off for their next campsite up the hill.
"So Rainbow dash, do you think you can teach me some flying lessons when we get to the next site?" Scootaloo Said excitedly
"Sure why not I'm not too busy." Rainbow dash answered with a smile.
They were walking all day and ran into a few obstacles on the way, like a fallen tree and a river. Which made them take longer to get to their campsite.
"Oh good, we made it here before nightfall." Said Fluttershy with her small voice.
"And it's a good thing too." Rainbow added.
"Why's that Dashie." Pinkie pie questioned.
"Because tonight's the full moon." Rainbow dash replied. "You wouldn't want the werewolf to get us would you?"
"Ah your just spouting out a lot a hoowey, and beside's you're the one that said it was just an old pony tale." said Applejack.
"So, Spike said Nightmare moon was just an old pony tail, and guess what, it wasn't." Rainbow dash replied with a smart remark.
"What ever Rainbow." The orange pony said.
They set up camp again and put up their tents and unpacked, they started to use the last of their firewood. Rainbow dash was teaching Scootaloo to fly, Pinkie pie was eating all the smores, and Twilight was reading her books.
Soon the fire started going out
"Uh, everypony the fire's dying." Twilight exclaimed.
"I'll go get some more wood." Appejack replied as they were engulfed in darkness. Fluttershy screeched ."Eeeekkkk! What was that!?"
"It's just Applebloom..." Rainbow dash replied.
"Applejack, let me get the firewood." Applebloom said
"What? No!" AJ replied.
"But why not?" Applebloom replied.
"Well because its too, yer too, its just tha-," AppleJack started.
"It's because I'm too little ain't it?!" Applebloom said cutting her big sis off.
"Well it's just that.." AJ stopped to see that Applebloom was giving her the puppy dog look. "Fine." She said with a worried look. The truth was Applejack did think she was too little.
"Wooohooo!" Applebloom cheered.
"But you have to take Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo with you." Applejack added.
"Cuite Mark Crusader firewood gatherer!?" Yelled the CMC's laughing a bit.
The CMC went off in the woods, and it wasn't long 'till all the ponies at the camp site heard "HELP!" coming from the woods. They all ran off looking for the CMC terrified of what might have happened to them.
