The Element of Mischief

Chapter 5

Big Huge Surprise

By

Red Mare

I looked at Fluttershy, as we both walked up the stairs, and we both made and entered her bedroom. I asked "What just happened?" She then walked back down the stairs, to the foyer of her cottage, and she put the collar away. I followed her because now I'm really, mentally, physically, and utterly confused what just happened recently. Sure we both did convinced those night guards as Fluttershy told me who they were. I did get a mental wing boner from her acting out her Mistress role. And she was kind of right when she said I had no home. I did too have a home somewhere in Ponyville right. Right?

As I approached her, she was mumbling something under her breath. I couldn't quite hear what she said, but I'm sure it had something to make me leave. So that's what I did I began to walk towards the door of her cottage, when I felt a gentle nibble on my tail again. I knew who it was and I didn't need to turn around and face her. "Where are you going?" Fluttershy asked me, confused.

I replied, "I thank you for your hospitality Miss Fluttershy but I can't be here anymore. So I'm leaving and I hope to see you around again when this is all over." I replied, smiling.

I opened the door and then I heard her say, "But you owe me two things because... because... because you probably would say that."

That's when I realized I did say that I owe her one for the hospitality, and she told during her acting that I owe her another one. Great Caizo just great, why did I have to say that to her so she could keep me around longer. "But I'm a wanted pony, a fugitive against the law. If you keep me here any longer than you have to. Then the guards will put you in a dungeon or something."

"That doesn't matter to me. I'm an Element of Harmony so stay with me." Fluttershy told me.

"Are you sure? I don't want to impose or intrude." I said, trying to convince her to not get in any trouble.

"I'm fine with it really." She smiled at me. I couldn't help but smile back at her. She wanted me to stay here but I'm just a burden so why. Why keep me here, if I'm a wanted criminal? I'm trying to figure that part out.

Canterlot Castle

I couldn't sleep tonight because of the nightmares I kept seeing and having. Sweat was pouring down my face in fear, every time I had a bad dream. Each nightmare was different than the last. Ponies were either suffering or getting killed by him. I kept seeing that wicked evil smile, those eyes full of darkness and hate for everything that happened.

I looked outside my window and I sighed at my sister's bright moonlight. I wonder if her guards had captured him. I quickly walked out of my room, down the hallway, and I saw my sister, Luna walking in my direction. I hope it's good news. By the time reached me, I saw a look of disappointment in her eyes as she saw me.

"Tia, I have bad news." Luna began, looking down at the ground.

"What is it Lulu?" I asked her, putting my hoof under her chin.

As we both looked into each others eyes, I could tell, this isn't what I was going to like and hear one bit. Luna tried to look away, but I kept her head in my hooves. I looked into her eyes again, and I asked again, "What's the bad news Lulu?"

Knowing she couldn't escape me, she sighed in defeat and replied, "My guards found the pony you're looking for. He's currently in Ponyville but with the shy pegasus. The one who bears the Element of Kindness."

"Fluttershy! He's with Fluttershy!" I nearly shouted at the top of my lungs. Oh, now he drew the line when he escaped my guards and my sister's guards. Taking an Element of Harmony as a hostage is really pushing my limits. I hope you're ready, cause now I will stop at nothing to get you captured and you are brought here.

I could tell Luna was looking at me. She was worried I might go to far. She's right, so I took a couple deep breaths and calmed down a bit. I then got an idea. One that no pony or he wouldn't expect at all. I'm going to go to Ponyville, along with some guards, and I'm going to meet the pony. I will finally get to know the threat face to face. I should probably write a letter to my faithful student, telling her I'm coming to have fun and party. Which would be the truth, I would celebrate my victory.

I left my sister to look at me, smiling happily as I can be. Actually, I think I might be victorious if my plan goes smoothly. I walked back towards my room, to get some sleep. As I was walking back, I couldn't help but smile all the way there. I'm going to be victorious and nothing will stop me from getting this threat.

Nothing.

Fluttershy's Cottage

I couldn't believe how exhausted I was. I just don't know what happened that made me and Fluttershy do that. I leaned on the couch, thinking how to make sure that went well enough. I then heard a knock at the door, I groaned in pain as I got up from the couch and walked towards the door. I was just getting comfy too, before I reached the door, I saw Fluttershy sleeping on the floor of her house, a smile escaped me.

She just looked so adorable, sleeping on the floor, I walked up towards her, picked her up with my hooves and gently put her down on the couch. She kept snoring a bit, so I put a blanket on her, covering her up so she kept warm, and not catch a cold. I then lifted her head, and put a pillow under her. I then walked back towards the door and opened it. As I opened the door, I saw a purple unicorn, pacing back and forth. I wondered what was wrong so I asked, "Hello, can I help you with something?"

That caught the unicorn's attention, she looked at me, and jumped at me. As I was tackled to the ground, I looked up at the purple unicorn, and she looked like she needed something to get off of her chest, big time. I was feeling uncomfortable with this unicorn being on top of me, so I finally asked, "Can you do me a favor Miss?"

Realizing that she was on top of me, she slowly got off, a blush forming on her face told me more than I wanted to. I got up from the ground, dusting myself off, and asked, "Can I help you with something?"

She looked at me, still blushing, and she replied, "I'm looking for my friend Fluttershy. I really need to tell her something important."

"Okay first of all, could take this conversation outside?" I asked.

"Sure I guess." The purple unicorn replied, as she walked backwards, eyeing me suspiciously.

"Okay." I said, as I followed her outside of Fluttershy's cottage.

When we both were outside, I closed the door gently making sure not to disturb a sleeping Fluttershy. I then turn myself around and looked at the purple unicorn again. She then asked me, "Who are you?"

I probably should of introduced myself to her before the question came up. So I replied, "My name is Caizo Haze. Haze for short if you like to call me by that."

"Okay Caizo. Could you get Fluttershy so I can talk to her about something important?" The purple unicorn asked me, looking at me.

"I'm sorry who are you exactly?" I asked her, because she seemed familiar to me.

"I'm Twilight Sparkle." She said to me, with a big smile. I smiled back at her.

"So could you get Fluttershy for me?" Twilight asked me.

"I'm sorry, Twilight. She's asleep at the very moment. But I can give her your message." I said.

"Really?" Twilight said, scaring off a few birds.

"Yes. Now what is it?" I asked, my patience running very low.

"Well the princess is coming to town." The purple unicorn said to me.

My jaw dropped to the ground. My eyes widen as the size of dinner plates.
