Maud Pie has an unstoppable passion for rocks and minerals of every sort, but no one else seems to share that same passion. Not even Boulder is as enthusiastic about them as she is.
Follow Maud Pie and her close companion Boulder as they make their first stop on their rock expedition: Appleloosa. The town is in the middle of a gold rush, but everything may not be as it seems. What mysteries will Maud and Boulder uncover?
Probably none!
It's a very boring story, so be happy that it is COMPLETED.
Chapters (5)
Ok, I'm in. This looks like fun.
Consider me hooked.
My enthusiasm for this story is boundless.
(In all seriousness, excellent story!
)
4093055 Thanks! I'm looking forward to it too.
4093088 Thanks! I just wrote the chapter an hour ago!
4093106 Oh, one thing I wanted to point out, though. Her name is Maud Pie, rather than Maude Pie.
Really liked the story, loved the scene with her family at the train station, suitably stoic all round. I like the tone you are going for. She seems like a fun but challenging character to write.
Two things that do not matter, but I am going to point them out anyway,
"The day had come for Boulder and me to leave for the town just to the north of Ponyville."
If anything I would assume Appleoosa is to the south. Not a big deal, just figured I'd mention it.
"My sister just stared at me, looking confused." Didn't exactly get why she was confused, and just wanted to remind you that she has two sisters in addition to Pinkie Pie.
4093331 Actually, Appleloosa is to the northeast of Ponyville, according to the official map of Equestria. It's directly on the opposite side of the Everfree Forest
In all honesty, I simply had no idea how to write the other sister so I just made her confused
Thanks for the feedback and I'm glad you enjoyed it!
This story is so incredibly boring (But I really like it and I'll be watching it)
4093109
It took me longer than it should have to realize it's a pun on 'mud pie'
4096912 I know. I'm sorry that this story is boring to read
But thanks for the watch and the comment!
Now I want to know what the other sisters can do.
4103078 Me too! I wonder if she'll show up later on?
This is a nice story so far. Keep it up.
4103729 Thanks! I'll try
Well this was just awesome! Can't wait for more
4106625 I'm glad that you think so! Thanks for commenting
Great story so far, but I can't imagine Maud saying 'Um'.
That implies that the speaker is lost for words or off balance, 2 states I don't think Maud experiences much, if at all.
4108928 Oh shoot, I think I gave her too much of a personality. Thanks for pointing that out. I'll keep it under control from now on
Alright, go, Maud!
Noticed one small error:
Missing the comma before "cuz".
4110384 Noticed one small error:
"Alright, go, Maud!"
Should be "Alright! Go, Maud!" Too many commas.
Sorry, I'm a massive asshole. But thanks for the comment!

You're not exactly wrong there. Not sure if I should laugh or be annoyed. Right now I honestly can't help leaning towards the latter.
4112113 I would go for something like "Hahahaha, he is SUCH a dick!"
The mystery begins.
This chapter was incredibly boring and uninteresting. Just what I signed on for.
I imagine Maud's wardrobe must be like Applejack and Apple Bloom's. All one outfit; in this case, sweet frocks.
Such is the nature of bartenders.
Also, is it surprising that I imagine this stallion to be voiced by The Sniper (TF2)?
4139406 He's just a generic Australian bartender stereotype, hence the cleaning of one glass over and over again
Things are about to get more interesting
...
...
or not
Cant wait for more
4168809 Probably not, considering the subject matter
Thanks for the comment!
Does the reference have to do with earthbending or metalbending?
Wait.. did she just... is he....
Well, damn...
4174197 Not exactly; that would be way too easy.
It's actually a reference to Azula, specifically from the Day of Black Sun.
4174221 I know right??
Well im still not sure. It's been ages since I saw that anyway. Idk what it is
There's nothing but pyrite down them mines, ain't there?
4174651 I can neither confirm no deny that.
Dayum. That's all that really needs be said about that.
Ha!
Hands? What are 'hands'?
GO MAUD GO!
4176584
SHIEET
4177315 It's going to get even better, trust me
As the old saying goes "Mess with the bull, you get punched in the face and fly straight through the ceiling resulting in severe head trauma"...
or so i've heard.
4181671 Nah, that's how I heard it too
Cute story. I liked it!
Maud versus aliens.
4209015 Thanks, I'm glad
4209120 Hmm, perhaps...but I have no idea where she could go where she would end up facing aliens
The caves under Canterlot could be a nice destination for Maud
4210148 Oooh, I forgot about those...
Awesome story dude, reading this gave me a Tintin vibe to it (which made it even more awesome
)
Now for the next story how about:
Maud Pie in Destination Moon followed by Explorers of the Moon.
Either way cant wait for more.
4210563 It also gives you a lot of really great options for side characters.
The other really neat choice is the Crystal Empire, because crystals are just rocks with better PR!
4211736 Thanks! I know precious little about TinTin. I read one of the comics when I was a kid
Aaaand I have no idea what Destination Moon is...
4212430 I know! I'm already considering the possibilities and drafting stuff out
