As soon as Twilight reached the top of the stairs, she started packing her saddlebags for the journey ahead of her. She packed food,water as well as a book on the Elements of Harmony and some bits. She wouldn’t need any weaponry, being such a talented spellcaster as she was. She was the princesses protégé after all.

Right as she finished packing. There was a knock on the door. When Twilight opened the door, there before he stood a pink earth pony with hair as pink and poofy as cotton candy.Her cutie mark was three balloons. She took a big breath before saying,

“Hi my name is Pinkie Pie and you must be Twilight Sparkle I’ve been ordered to guide you on a secret mission I’m not sure what the mission is but I know it will be super secret fun and we’ll have lots of fun on the way I was a baker before those awful nasty changeling bugs and weird creatures of nasty evilness ruined all the fun hopefully we won’t run into many on our way I have a map we should plan our super fun route of funness before we leave the safe safeness of Ponyville so the princesses live in your library that must be fun do you do lots of fun with them I never met them before two days ago but they seemed really fun and nice and fun when we’re done we should throw a party I love parties and I love meeting new ponies don’t you just love having lots of friends with you to have fun with all my friends call me Pinkie and since you are my friend you can call me Pinkie as well,” They were right about her being excitable.

“ Hello Pinkie. So let’s see that map, might as well plan ahead,”

“Okie dokie lokie,” she pulled out a map from her saddle bags and bounced over to the closest table, “Where do you think we should go, I think we should go towards Cloudsdale, we can gather supplies there and then we can continue towards Trotingham. Also we should stop at this cottage here”— she pointed at a point on the map on the way to Cloudsdale— “I have a friend there who is an accomplished healer, she is a little bit shy but she will be great on your super secret mission, the only problem is that we will be in close proximity to the Everfree forest but hopefully no evil nasties come out,” still in shock of Pinkie Pie’s mannerisms Twilight responded.

“That sounds like a great plan, but how did you come up with such a perfect route in such a short time?”

“Hmm I’m not sure but if I figure out I’ll be sure to tell you so our we all ready to go on our super fun super secret mission,”

“Let’s go, Pinkie,”

Twilight and Pinkie left Twilight’s home in relative silence, the only noise being Pinkie as she landed from her bounce,skip walking thing.

“Pinkie, why do you walk like that. You know by bouncing up and down,”

“Hmmm I’m not sure but its fun you should try it sometimes its super duper fun once you get the hang of it,”

“Thanks for the offer, but I’ll pass,”

“Okie dokie lokie,”

Twilight and Pinkie walked for another half an hour before reaching the edge of Ponyville. About a mile away was a small cottage, with animals running and playing.

“Here we are the outer edge of Ponyville after this point evil nasties and changelings roam free we should start to be careful the cottage over there belongs to my friend Fluttershy all the animals are out having super duper fun so I guess Fluttershy is outside as well let’s go,” Pinkie continued her bounce/walking motion as Twilight followed behind her.

About half way there Twilight noticed a small yellow pegasus with long pink hair covering her left eye. She seemed to be feeding some of the animals.

“Hello Fluttershy!!!” Pinkie called from down the road

“Eep!” Twilight noticed the yellow pegasus flinch at the noise, ducking behind the bear she was feeding. She peered from behind the bear to notice Twilight and Pinkie walking towards her cottage. Once the two ponies got to the cottage, Twilight actually heard the butter colored pegasus apparently named Fluttershy actually whisper something from behind the bear.

“Oh, Pinkie you scared me. Why must you do that,” she had a very soft and quiet voice.

“Sorry Fluttershy but you are such an accomplished healer and the old princesses asked me to lead this pony here,”—pointing to Twilight— “on a super secret mission and we would like you to come with us,”

“Oh, Pinkie I’d love to but I must stay here and watch the animals,” all at once the animals made noises at her.

“Oh, you all think I should go,” more pleasant noises came from the animals this time.

“If you all insist. Ok, Pinkie and oh I never caught your name?”

“Twilight Sparkle. Pleased to have you joining us Miss Fluttershy,”

“Ok, let me go get some things from inside,” She quickly flew off inside her house. When Fluttershy went inside a small white bunny rabbit came up to Pinkie and Twilight, handing Pinkie a vial of a clear liquid.

“Thank you Angel, you know it’s my favourite,” Pinkie stated before putting the vial in her saddle bags.

“What was that all about?” Twilight asked as the small bunny hopped away.

“Oh nothing to worry your pretty little head about, but let’s say Fluttershy brews her own healing potions,” Twilight was very confused now.

Fluttershy flew out of her home now, still flying rather low to the ground before landing in front of Twilight and Pinkie. Her cutie mark, turned out to be three pink butterflies, her saddlebags matching. The difference in her saddlebags though were they had loops on the side holding a viscous red liquid, in each of the eight vials.

“So where are we off to now,” Fluttershy whispered.

“Cloudsdale!” Pinkie cheerfully answered.

“Ooh Cloudsdale. I haven’t visited home in years,”

“Well then let’s go,” Twilight deadpanned, before the trio of them started walking north, parallel to the Everfree forest.

I'm sorry the chapters have been so short, hopefully I can think up more content for later chapters.
