//------------------------------// // Diamond Searching // Story: Gravity Foals: Book 1: Secrets of the Draconequus // by Megasis101 //------------------------------// "Let us go you Diamond Rats!" Mabel shouted. She gripped the bars in the dirty dungeon they put them in. Dipper was sitting right next to her. "Dogs! Dogs! We're dogs! Go to school and learn your animals!" The dog shouted. His voice echoed. "We'll let you go and help you find your gem if you help us find crystals." "Fine, we'll do it, but you have to promise to give us the gem when we find it." Dipper said. "We have a deal." The Diamond Dog reached for the leaver to the dungeon and pulled it down. Dipper and Mabel walked out of the dungeon. Dipper held out his hand. The dog hesitated, then held his paw out and shook Dippers hand. Dipper unzipped his backpack and pulled out the metal detector he brought. He set his backpack down. Other dogs pushed mine carts and the group started walking down the tunnels. Dippers metal detector started beeping and dogs hoped in front of him and dug fast. Dipper jumped back from the two dogs frantically digging. They retrieved the gems and put them in the cart. Mabel poped out of the cart all of the sudden. "It's like I'm swimming in a tiny pool of shiny candy!" She said. She took a gem from the cart and took a bite into it. "Nope, definitely not candy." She slowly sank back into the cart. The dogs kept collecting gems and Dipper scanned the floor and walls. He wiped his forehead. He stopped. "Hey, uh, can we have a break? We've been working all night." Dipper asked. "Keep working, boy, we had a deal." The Diamond Dog demanded. Dipper turned around and flipped his metal detector upside down. "Excuse me, not taking a break wasn't part of our deal. We want a break and we deserve it." "I can throw you back in that dungeon very easily." The dog threatened. "Wait do you hear that?" Mabel asked from the cart. Dipper listened. The metal detector was beeping. Dipper lifted the metal detector higher. The detector beeped faster. "Dogs! Dig!" The Diamond Dog demanded. The dogs pushed Dipper out of the way and dug at the ceiling. Something fell from the ceiling. Dipper knew it when he saw it. Mabel jumped from the cart and ran next to Dipper. They crouched down to see it better. It was it. It was the gem. It shone very brightly and it was bright red and very beautiful. Suddenly a big furry paw snatched it from the ground. "Hey! We had a deal!" Dipper shouted. "I was crossing my fingers. It doesn't count." He said. Dipper and Mabel where shocked. "Also, I saw how precious it was." He rubbed the gem against his face. Dipper got very mad. "Now, take them away." The dog said. Two other dogs grabbed their arms. "Hey!" Mabel yelled. Dipper got furious as he saw the dog walk away then set the gem on a cart. That was the last straw. Dipper got super mad. "No!" Dipper yelled. He broke free of the dogs big hands. Dipper ran to the cart, climbed onto it, and grabbed the gem. Mabel also broke free. She climbed on the cart with Dipper. They jumped to a different cart with a hole above it. Dipper jumped up and climbed up to the top. Mabel followed him. "Don't let them get away!" A voice echoed. "Make a run for it!" Mabel shouted. Dipper ran, Mabel close behind him. He didn't care where he ran. "Come on, let's hide in these bushes!" Dipper told Mabel. They crouched in the bushes and waited. "Where are they?! Where are they?!" Dipper listened. "If we don't get that gem, Discord's going to kill us for sure!" Dipper was shocked. They knew Discord too? "I swear if I see that boys face again, he is going to regret every thing he's done. Keep searching!" The Diamond Dogs where out of sight. "Great," Mabel said "Now we go a bunch of dogs on our tail?" He held the gem in his hand. He threw it in the air then caught it. He did it again. "Good thing I managed to get this baby. Without this we would be.." The gem dropped. It rolled across the grass and then rolled into a cave. "No! Mabel yelled. They both ran after it. Before Dipper knew it they were both tumbling down a tunnel. They fell pretty hard on top of each other. Dipper opened the eyes. He spotted the gem. He grabbed it then got up. "Where the heck are we?" Mabel asked. "I have no idea." Dipper replied as he got up. He looked around. They were still in a cave but it was a huge, lit up open space. The ground had swirling designs around the edges. In the middle was a circle. Dipper walked to the center. "Uh, Dipper, what are you doing?" Mabel asked. Dipper crouched down to his knees. He put the gem in the circle. It started to glow brighter. "Dipper?" Mabel said. Dipper backed away from the gem. I huge circle formed in the air. Dipper backed up a lot. The circle grew brighter and wind was blowing. Dipper squinted. The circle swirled multiple colors. The colors swirled faster and faster. It made Dipper dizzy. Everything was super bright. Suddenly a bright figure jumped from the circle. The brightness disappeared. The wind, and even the circle. The figure had its head down. It was breathing very hard. It had a few scratches on its coat. It did nothing but breath. "H-hello?" Dipper muttered. The figure stood silent for a moment, then lifted its head. It was white with hair and a tail of many colors. It had a horn and wings with a necklace and a crown. It was a...pony? It kept breathing. "Who are you?" Dipper asked. "I am Celestia, the princess of light." She said. They stood silent for a minute. Then they heard Mabel. "Luna, away!" Mabel was sitting on a blue pony.
