As the two children were walking deeper into the cave, it had gotten colder within each minute.
"We're never going to get out of here," Sweetie Belle cried,"are you sure you have no bars on your cell?"
"None," Button Mash replied. He then stopped.
"What's wrong?" Sweetie asked, afraid of the answer.
Button's lips turned to a frown. "I-I don't know where we are! We're lost!" Button started to cry for the third time. Sweetie just did the same thing she did the other times: calm him down.
"Maybe if we turn back, we can find Applebloom and Scootaloo. Then we can get out of here," she said.
"Are you sure that will work?" Button asked.
"I'm sure," Sweetie Belle replied.
"Alright."
They went back down the same route when Sweetie Belle's flashlight turned off.
"Uh-oh," she said, then started to panic.
"Just use your phone," Button said.
"But it's almost dead!" Sweetie said, her voice filled with so much worry.
"Then use mine," Button gave his phone to Sweetie's then she calmed down again.
Thanks," she said.
They picked which ways they thought they went, and when it wasn't the right one, they turned back. After a couple of hours, they spotted a pink bow hiding behind a rock.
"Applebloom?" Sweetie Belle said.
"Crap," they heard. "She arose from her hiding spot. "Uh, hi guys."
"Have you been spying on us?" Sweetie asked.
"Uh, sorta," Applebloom replied,"but I'm not the only one."She pulled up a dirty Scootaloo.
"Hi," she said.
"Why were you guys following us?" Button asked.
"Um, because we wanted to see how you two can survive without us?" Apple loom said in a questioning tone.
"You know what? I don't care right now. All I care about is getting the heck out of here!" Sweetie yelled.
"Sweetie Belle! Be quiet!" Scootaloo whispered.
"Whatever. Right now I'm cold and starving, and I'm very afraid that I will die in here. Do you guys know where we are?" Sweetie Belle asked.
"Oh! I have the map in my bag," Scootaloo said. "By the way, here's your jacket," she through the jacket at Sweetie Belle.
"ARE YOU SERIOUS?! YOU HAD THE MAP AND MY JACKET?!-"
"Sweetie Belle!"
"WE HAVE BEEN COLD AND LOST FOR HOURS AND YOU HAD BOTH OF THOSE RESOURCES! WHAT KIND OF FRIENDS ARE YOU?!-"
"Sweetie Belle!"
"AND THEN YOU HAVE THE NERVE TO FOLLOW US?! WHAT WERE YOU EVEN TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH?!"
"SWEETIE BELLE!"
The cave started to shake.
"RUN!!" Applebloom screamed. All four children ran as fast as they could out of the cave, Scootaloo giving the directions. When they finally saw a white light, they knew they were getting close to the entrance. But the entrance was closing up.
"WE HAVE TO JUMP!" Scootaloo yelled, and everyone agreed. After all, they didn't want to die.
Scoots lol was the first to make it out. Then Applebloom. Then Button Mash. The entrance was closing up.
"Hurry up Sweetie!" Apple bloom yelled.
Button ran back up to the entrance, which was almost fully closed. "Grab my hand!"
"Sweetie Belle saw his hand and immediately grabbed it, climbing up the rocky wall. Button Mash pulled her out right on time. After a few seconds, the cave was fully closed. Sweetie and Button both fell to the ground, one in top of the other.
"Told you...we should've...gone...to the....mall," Sweetie Belle said.
The kids were all at Sweetie Belle's, cleaning up their scars and bruises.
"I can't believe I did that," Sweetie Belle said, still mad at her two best friends.
"We said that we're sorry!" Scootaloo said for the fourth time. Sweetie ignored that comment and washed her hands.
"That was a dreadful experience," Button said, "and now I'm scared of caves."
"Oh my Gosh! What happened to you all?" Rarity said, looking at the dirty, hungry children.
"Cave explorin'?" Applebloom said.
"Ugh, another one of your crusading adventures. This has to stop," Rarity said. "Mother called. She fixed a meal after we left and it's in the refrigerator. You guys can eat it. I see that you're much more hungry than me," She said, and went upstairs.
Sweetie Belle looked at her friends, then the fridge. They knew exactly what she was about to do. Like wild animals, all four ran towards the fridge and grabbed four containers full of food. They ate it all up.
"Your mom is a good cook," Button said after finishing his meal.
"Trust me, that's just the hunger talking. Why do you think we always order out?" Sweetie said.
They all threw the containers and plates in the sink and looked at the clock.
"I gotta go guys. Applejack's probably worried about me. See y'all later," Applebloom said. "And Sweetie Belle, I'm really sorry." And then she left.
"Me too. I have that big quiz tomorrow in Ms.Harshwinny's class. See you guys later," Scootaloo said, and then she left Sweetie Belle and Button Mash alone.
"Hey um, Sweetie?" Button asked.
"Yeah?" She said.
"I...uh..gotta go too," Button said.
"Oh," a disappointed Sweetie Belle said,"Okay. See ya later."
Button mash got up from the seat and walked out. She sighed and started the dishwater.
Someday, she thought.
Button walked back into the kitchen and gave Sweetie a kiss on the cheek, then walked out before she could see him blush. Sweetie touched her cheek and it was hot with a scarlet blush on her face. She smiled.
Yes, she thought.
