The entrance to the cave resembled the vicious mouth of a hydra, all those spikes its sharp teeth and the darkness below its stomach, ready to consume anypony stupid enough to dare venture in.

"Well, what are we waiting for? Geronimoooo!!" the pale yellow earth pony yelled right before jumping into the pit of darkness.

She gracefully moved her body,avoiding every spike and sharp rock, but just before she hit the ground she was catch by a pair of teal colored hooves

"Aw, why did you did that for Morning Dawn?"

"Because you never think before you act Dandelion..." and she gently put her down. "Besides, if you get hurt I´ll end up in the receiving end of Grandma Fluttershy and I don´t want that!" and not gently at all she punched her forehead.

"Auh!"

"Honeycrisp, come down. It´s safe!" the pegasus yelled at the honey colored unicorn who covered behind her Stetson hat.

"B-bu-but it´s too tall..."

"Just teleport down here. I´ll promise, you´ll be fine!"

"Bu-bu-bu-bu..."

"Agh, Cadence´s crown! I can't believe you´re actually a unicorn who is afraid of using her own magic!" Dandelion complained.

Morning Dawn threw some invisible daggers at her friend and flew up to comfort the crying unicorn.

"There there, I´ll help you down..."

Dandelion never apologized but Honeycrisp recovered some of her confidence when she was told to light her horn, her light being the only way they could travel across the dark caves.

Finally, following the map that Morning Dawn was carrying they reached their destination, the giant chamber where the first dragon they have ever seen was sleeping.

Honeycrisp rushed to hide behind the pegasus legs.

"Woah..."

"Uh, he´s not that big..."

Morning Dawn ignored the obvious lies of Dandelion and hovered next to the enormous eyes of the sleeping monster.

"Grandma Sparkle told me so many stories about him but I never thought that he will be...like this."

"Is he dead?" Honeycrisp asked from behind her hat.

"No, he´s just sleeping. According to Grandma Sparkle he will for another 88 years..." the pegasus explained.

"Ah, how boring. I wanted to hear him talk..." Dandelion complained, her fears already gone.

"He actually looks cute...for a giant monster." Honeycrisp said.

"Hey, look at all these crap! Why did he kept this garbage!" the earth pony asked while rummaging through a pile of random objects.

"It´s not garbage!" and Morning Dawn slapped her friend´s hoof "It´s his hoard. All dragons collect treasures. That´s how they grew that big and when they go to sleep they covered themselves on their most precious possession."

"Treasure? You mean all this...souvenirs?"

"Well, I´ll admit that this doesn't seem like the typical dragon treasure I had read all these years..." Morning Dawn admitted while looking at a fabulous wig.

While her friends threw more seemingly useless garbage around like a megaphone or a kitchen sink, Honeycrisp was distracted by a won out yoke, wondering if it could be the same yoke she remembered from when she was a little foal.

"Well, I´m bored!" Dandelion announced throwing a pair of binoculars away. "Let´s go back home, this was a waste of time!"

"I agree. It seems all the warnings our parent gave us were unfounded, my friends..." Morning Dawn concluded while blowing some bubbles from a pipe. She quickly put on a sheepish grin when Dandelion scolded her in silence.

"Come on, Honeycrisp. We're leaving!"

"Okay..." but she stayed behind watching the small almost non existing breathing of the dragon.

"Come on! I don't want to make Aunt Applebloom angry! She scares me more than my grandma..."

"You never saw my grandma angry. She literally burst in flames once..."

"Yeah, right."

"I´m serious Dandelion!"

Honeycrisp tilted her hat, wishing good night at the dormant beast and rushed to meet her friends.

"Wait up!"
