Previous Chapter Next Chapter

Very well

nu chap doods!

now get ready for this chapter it's gonna be kinda sad, so get a box of Kleenex (nah not really)


Zecora was giving Jay a lot of helpfull tips, so he could know what to do if he became a "wolf" again. after much time, she just gave him a little box.

"This box has something you will find usefull" she said hugging Jay "You have to wait untill the time comes"

She and Jay got out of the house and went to ponyville, where they would meet the other ponies to start the seeking for the stuff they needed. it was basically a lot of gemstones that had magic effects.

"Magic Gemstones?" Twilight said "like... uh... the stones in the elements of harmony?"

"something like that" Zecora said

"How is it that those stones even exist now?" Fluttershy asked "The elements of harmony are even older than princess celestia!"

"Mines" Jay said

"Mines?" Applejack asked

"it's like fosiles, it's erosion... and a lot of stuff I still don't understand quite right" he whispered

They all walked through the forest, none of them actually knew what to do, only Zecora seemed to have a clue. they were looking for a cave, a very big cave, full of rare gemstones, and in the deepest place of the cave, there would be an enormous diamond. the thought of that made Spike drool.

"You should stop speaking about gems before spike's body dehidrates" Twilight giggled

After thinking about it, all of them started laughing except for Jay, who took it more seriously. he was worried about the curse, about anything he could do. Suddenly he tripped with a rock and instinctively screamed in a spanish fashion. All of them thought for a second that Jay would explode and become a "wolf" again. instead, he just burst into laughter. everypony else just laughed with him or tried helping him up.

"Ya gotta admit that's funny" Applejack said winking to him

"I guess it was" Jay said trying to recover his seriousness "but, please... don't let me say that again"

They kept walking trying to find the cave, none of them knew what it was like, so they explored any cave they could find (which to tell the truth were a bit too much). They had their souls in the floor, untill Jay tripped into another rock, falling into a cave. he shouted out a bit happy

"hey guys! there's a lot of gemstones here!" he screamed

They all entered the cave, it, indeed, had much gemstones, all of them were very beautifull, but none of them were usefull for Jay's problem. even with the light coming from outside the cave and the gems reflecting the light into it, as they started to trott inside it became darker and darker. twilight used her magic to light the cave a bit, there were a lot of different gemstones, but only one was the one they looked for.

"Where the heck can a gemstone be?" Applejack said "It's like looking for a needle in haystack!"

"Could it be that one there?" Spike said pointing to a giant gemstone shaped like a heart

"it is" Zecora said

"how could we miss that?" Rarity said

Zecora reaching for the stone but it was just to tall, it was in the tip of an enormous diamond that seemed attached to the grounf very deeply.

"How can we get it?" Zecora said

"Diamooond..." Spike babbled

"I think we could use spike's hunger advantageously" Jay said

Jay cleverly spike's like for gems to cut the diamond tower so it would fall with the heart shaped stone. the stone fell just as jay predicted, right into one of Zecora's bags. what they weren't expecting, was the giant rock that fell from teh cieling.

"We get to be like Daring Do!" Pinkie exclaimed

"THIS IS NO TIME TO CELEBRATE!" all naged her

All of them ran away (Indiana Jones style) from the cave, having the stone with them. after they escaped that rock (and seven omer that were even bigger than the last one) they got out of the cave, just to see it was already night. all got their tents set, and sat there gazing to the stars. When nopony was seeing Twilight took Fluttershy to the forest, so none could listen to them.

"What is it Twilight?" Fluttershy asked

"You see Fluttershy" Twilight said looking down "I think... we should get away from Jay"

There were some bushes and trees near them hidden inside them, was Jay, hiding. he was hearing their conversation, he couldnt stand it but hearing what they were saying.

"What do ya mean?" Fluttershy said frowning

"That exactly!" Twilight said "his curse is putting us in danger, and the cure is ridiculously dificult to get!"

"W-well... you have a point there" Fluttershy whispered "But..."

"But what?"

"Don't you understand?" Fluttershy said "I love him... and... think in the baby"

"the baby?" Twilight asked puzzled "What about it?"

"The baby will need a father" Fluttershy nagged her "what would happen if we Jay ever knows that?"

Jay heard each word, but Fluttershy's last words. He had enough with what he heard, quickly he went back to the camp, crying. Trying to smile and remember that he could always start from zero. as he finished his letter he turned to Applejack and kissed her forehead. Applejack woke up and looked at him leave.

"Cousin?" Applejack said "W-where are you goin'?"

"You don't need to know it" Jay said turning around with a fake smile "I just wanna go..."

"Where?"

"Nowhere... I'll find a way myself..." he said truning around

Applejack stood on his way, with some tears on her eyes. Jay tried to push her and make his way out, but she didn't want him to leave, not again. it was just a month (or so) since he came back, it was still to soon to even think about letting him go.

"Please, leave it that way..." Jay said finally managing to get through his cousin "I'm going, that's all"

"But Jay, won't you at least tell me why?" Applejack cried pulling his tail

"Sorry. My decision is taken" Jay snapped coldly "Twilight is right. If I stay with you I'll only be a danger"

"come on, Jay!" Applejack said crying even more "What are you saying?"

"I have no more to say..." Jay said as a tear rolled down his eye

While that was applening Fluttershy had come back to the camp she heard the whole conversation between Applejack and Jay. her eyes teared up a bit as she saw Jay turning around and walking into the forest

"It's time for me to go, cousin" Jay whispered walking back "Thank you very much for everything"

"Jay! I know you'll come back" Applejack yelled "I'll be waiting for ya!"

Everypony woke up with applejack's yelling, they all went to the spot where she was standing looking at her cousin leave. Big mac walked to his sister, and layed his hoof on her shoulder, tears forming on his eyes too. a little reflection of Jay's hair shone through the forest. when it dissapeared both Applejack and Big Macintosh started crying bitterly.
