It was awesome. The detonator caps were actually these really boring silver things with a long needle on the bottom of a square covered in fancy runes. We were under some apple trees way far away, but the explosion was still easy to see from here. There was just a big black spot of flat land where part of the forest had been. The explosion had gone way up in the sky too. Plus the rest of the forest was on fire now.
"So cool."
"Uh, miss Firecracker, should it be on fire like that?" asked Sweetie
"Yes, but don't worry. It should die out any second now."
The fire kept burning.
"Yes, any second."
I was pretty sure the fire was a little bigger now. Cool.
"Come on. She stamped a hoof. "I said any second now."
"They don't seem to be stopping. Cool, maybe the whole forest will burn." I said
Firecracker shook her head. "No, it's heavily enchanted. I'm sure the fire won't last, otherwise Ponyville would have burned it down by now."
"Nu uh." Said Applebloom "That ain't why we don't try chop it down, or nothing else like that neither. We haven't because then all the monsters would come out all riled up with nowhere to go."
"So, it's just going to keep burning?"
"Yep" added Applebloom
"I am going to be in so much trouble. I can't stop a blaze that big. Don't worry girls, I'll take the heat for this. Even if it is the one type of heat I don't like."
The fire was spreading fast, the burning trees and other stuff we'd blown out of the ground and all over doing a good job of getting the whole forest to burn. It was awesome. I looked up at her. I thought I'd never find a pony half as cool as Dash, but she was at least that, maybe even a whole five eighths as cool. Then I gasped.
"Omigosh, Dash was right, I really did learn something useful in math."
