As the two head off to the Crystal Mountains, they find Buried Treasure already had a head start. Though Maud tries to help, Rarity is able to help them to get transport and well as lead them through treacherous weather and dangerous creatures to get to the caves, though Rarity gets more frustrated at Maud's lack of emotions. They find themselves only minutes after Buried Treasure, but she burns down a rope bridge over a chasm, preventing Rarity and Maud from proceeding. Without any hope of proceeding, Rarity pulls out her diary, which she has been using to catalog the journey, only to discover she actually got Maud's diary. Rarity quickly apologizes and gives back Maud's diary, but Maud insists that she read it. Rarity is surprised that while Maud herself never showed any emotion, her diary expresses a huge range of emotions, as well as her admiration for Rarity's help in getting this far. Rarity is touched, and Maud explains she has troubles directly expresses her emotions but uses her diary to express them.

--> Story by Ted Anderson, Art by Brenda Hickey
Rarity attends the Equestrian Geological and Gemological Society's meeting, and is elated to find Maud Pie there as well. The two take in one of the lectures about a newly discovered cave system in the Crystal Mountain Range, and the elderly lecturer notes that whomever finds it first will get known for the geological find of the century. Rarity convinces Maud that this would help her greatly with her rocktoriate, but before they can head off, Buried Treasure and her two mooks arrive and claim that they will find the caves first. Maud notes that Buried Treasure has beaten her to the punch before, and Rarity insists they can win out.

Rarity says her goodbyes to Maud as Maud sets off to talk to the rocks and document her findings.
