Twilight was going to make a potion, but she still needs ingredients
on the Everfree Forest.

But, Spike wanted to go with her, Twilight accepted it,

"But stay on my back okay?" said Twilight Sparkle

"Promise!" said Spike

then they went to the dark Everfree Forest, "Okay so lets go to Zecora's hut I bet she
has the ingredients that I need." said Twilight, but when Twilight saw a timberwolf she ran
as fast as she could.

Spike shouted, "Lets get out of here Twilight!" 

But when Twilight jumped, Spike fell from her back. Spike was panicking, but Twilight was
still running, after the timberwolf was gone Twilight noticed that Spike wasn't on her back..

Then Twilight went back in the Everfree Forest but there was nothing.. She went to Zecora's
hut and told her what happened to Spike, 

"You lost the dragon?" Zecora asked

"Yes," said Twilight "I think he fell when we were running."

"I'm sorry but I am too busy to help you," said Zecora "how about tomorrow? is it okay for you?"

"Okay," said Twilight "I understand."

the next day, Twilight went to Fluttershy's cottage she saw Fluttershy feeding
her chickens, Twilight came to her and said

"Fluttershy, have you seen Spike come out of the Everfree Forest last night?"

"What time?" said Fluttershy "in seven?"

"Yes," said Twilight

"I'm sorry but I only saw you," said Fluttershy "you were not with spike."

"Okay" said Twilight, then she went to Zecora's hut without getting caught by a
timberwolf, she went inside the hut and looked at Zecora
sadly.

"Whats wrong?" Zecora asked

"I went to Fluttershy but," said Twilight "she said she did not saw Spike."

"Okay," Zecora said "as i said yesterday."

"Yeah, let's go find him." said Twilight 

Then they went outside the hut, and looked everywhere to find Spike but..
They did not find him. "Will he be okay?" Twilight asks.

"I'm sure he is okay dear," said Zecora,

Zecora went back to her hut, while Twilight walks back to the entrance sadly,
when she was back to the library she saw Pinkie, Applejack, Rainbow, Fluttershy
and Rarity. 

"Ohey Twilight!" Pinkie said happily,

"Fluttershy told us you lost Spike," Rainbow said

"Yes I lost him when we were running," Twilight was disappointed "on the Everfree Forest."

"Don't worry sugarcube," said Applejack "we will help you find him!"

"He wasn't on the Everfree Forest," she said "I think he is on another place.."

"Well what are we waiting for?" said Pinkie and shouts "LETS GO!" 

They brought 4 maps incase they would lose one. "I still don't get why we need a lot of maps," Pinkie said
the others were too busy on the plan so they did not heard her saying that. Rainbow was checking the wind if it was cold, hot, fast, slow. Twilight was planning on where they should go first,
Applejack was bringing some apples for they're food, Fluttershy brought some owls to guide
them in the dark and Rarity brought scarves when its cold and umbrellas when its raining,
Pinkie was the only one who did nothing, but it was okay for her.

"Okay," said Twilight normally "apples check! scarves check! umbrellas check!
owls check!"

"Rainbow did you check the weather?" Pinkie asks

"Yep, all good!" Rainbow said

"Check!" Twilight said




They first traveled on Manehattan but there was no Spike, then they went to the mountains, still no
Spike, then they went through the river, they were finding a raft, but they found a pony
who has a raft, they went to him and said,

"Hello there!" said Twilight "My name is Twi-"

"Twily?" said the pony and asks "Is it really you?"

"H-how do you know me?" Twilight asked, "Have I met you before?"

The pony had black eyeglasses, so they don't actually see his face, then he took out his
eyeglasses to reveal his face, it was.

"Shining Armor?!" Twilight shouted "is it really you??"

"Correct!" said Shining Armor "Celestia told me that Spike is gone so she sent me here to
find him."

"Wow! really?" Pinkie said happily

"Phew," Rarity said "thank Celestia we have the captain of the guards."

"Actually I'm not alone I have some guards with me." said Shining Armor

Then Shining Armor joined them on finding Spike, Shining Armor started to ask questions
to Twilight cause she has been acting strangely..

"So Twily Celestia told me you lost him on the-" Shining said

"Everfree Forest," Twilight answered

"I think we should not talk about that," Rainbow said

"I agree," Fluttershy said

They traveled on almost everywhere but still no spike, now everyone was a bit worried
that he was long gone.. But everyone must have hope that he is still
there alive, Pinkie was almost gonna cry after almost all the places
were traveled but everyone did not give up on finding him.

"Come on, he is got to be here Spike is fire proof" Rainbow said

"We know," the rest replied

"We've been searching for hours now Twily," said Shining Armor "I think we should take a break."

"NO! we should keep on going!" Twilight yelled

"I know that you miss Spike a lot sugar cube," said Applejack "your brother is right
I think we should get some rest." Everyone nodded.

"Okay," Twilight replied

The next day Rainbow was the first one to wake up, cause she checks the weather
every early morning, and everyone was still asleep. Applejack was the second to wake up
cause she prepares they're food, while Rainbow helps Applejack put the plates and
the fork and spoon.

When Twilight woke up and went to the kitchen Applejack said, "Good Morning Twilight!"
Rainbow was practicing her moves for the WonderBolts, Pinkie was fully energized,
Rarity was styling her mane and Fluttershy was outside looking at the butterflies
it was almost like a good day.

"Soups on, everypony!" Applejack says

"MMM, yummy!" Pinkie said happily as ever,

"This was good!" said Rarity

"Yeah really good." Rainbow said happily

"How did you bake this Applejack?" Twilight asked curiously

"Oh it was a special secret ingredient, Granny shared it to me." Applejack answered

"So the weather today is pretty fine Twilight," said Ranbow

"Okay, shall we go back to finding Spike?" Twilight asked

Everyone nodded, and went back on finding Spike. Some moments they found a Dragon Island, some dragons
blocked them to stop them from trespassing.

"What gives?!" Rainbow said

"Nopony is aloud to trespass this place, its only for dragons!" The dragons said

"Hey have you seen a baby dragon with purple scales and green eyes here?" Shining Armor asks

"Why should we tell you that?!" The dragons answered

"Oh, come on!" Pinkie says
