Melody was laying on her bed, locked in her room, listening to her newest Cleavland Bays CD. She held the cover up to her face, drooling over the perfect picture of Chain Link emblished on it. "Melody... Melody... MELODY!" her mother cried from downstairs. "What, Mom?" Melody answered angrily. Why was her mother always spoiling her 'alone time'?

"Turn that music down, Mel! The twins are trying to sleep!"

"Fine." snorted Melody as she lowered the music's volume. Her phone suddenly started ringing, and she ran to pick it up.

"Hello?" she asked.

"Hey Mel. It's Patch."

"Oh, hi Patch! What's up?"

"Oh, nothing. I was just curious if you wanted to join the other girls and I on a walk this evening."

"Sure, I'd love to!"

"Great. Meet us at Pinto cave by 7 o' clock."

"Bye."

"Bye."

Melody rushed down the stairs to ask her parents about the walk. Both her mother and father accepted. "Just remember, Melody," said her mom, "I ave to work the night shift at the hospital. Try to be back before 10 o' clock." "Sure thing, Mom!" yelled Melody as she bolted out the door and towards Pinto Cave.

Pinto Cave's large mouth loomed in front of Melody. Patch, Clover, Brighteyes, Sweetheart, Starlight, and Bon Bon were talking in front of some bushes. Melody ran up to them. "Hi, Melody!" they all said in unicine. Patch looked to the dark forest next to Pinto Cave. "Well, girls, are you ready for some adventure?" she said happily. "YEAH!" screamed the rest, except Clover. "Uhh... P...p... Patch?" she stammered. "are you, uhh... sure this is s...s...safe?" "Sure." she answered. "Stop being such a baby pony and come on!" Patch linked one arm around Clover's and started to drag her along. "Not so fast!" said a voice from a nearby bush. The girls gasped as two figures leaped out of the bush. One of them was adorned with a mohawk.
