The Enigma

Chapter 2: An Idea Dawns

Fluttershy got out of her bed and sighed. This filly really likes to fly. I'm not used to flying so much, and so fast! Fluttershy went downstairs and sat on the couch. I guess she isn't up yet. Hopefully we can do something different today. I hope she enjoys tea parties... Angel jumped up onto the couch and demanded to be pet. Fluttershy stroked him, and thought while she did. She came up with an idea, and thought she would definitely try it when Buttercup woke up.

Yawning, Buttercup walked down the stairs, to find Fluttershy waiting for her. "Um... Why are you sittin' there lookin' at me?"
"I've been waiting for you to get up so we could do something again!"
"Oh... Um... Okay. What are we gonna do?"
"Well, that's up to you! We could have a tea party, we could play Shhhh, we could fly again, or-"
Buttercup rolled her eyes. You even need to ask that question? "Let's fly! Well, I'm really the only one flyin' your just sorta... I dunno, not goin' very fast."
"Are you sure? I have one more idea!"
"Yes, I'm sure!" I don't care what your other idea is! Let's just fly! Buttercup thought.
"But I'm sure you'll love it!"
Buttercup sighed. Fine, if it'll make ya happy ya crazy pony. "Alright, what is it?"
"Well, I'm pretty much best friends with Rainbow Dash, and we could-"
"WHAT?! Why didn't ya tell me this yesterday! Can we go look for her? Wait, does she live here in Ponyville? I thought she lived in Cloudsdale! Was I wrong about where my own role model lives? Ohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygosh! Come on! Where is she?"
"Well, um... Yeah, she lives in Ponyville. Well, her house is on the outskirts of Ponyville, but she spends most of her time in Ponyville. We can go look for her."
"OHMYGOSHYESTHANKYOUFLUTTERSHYYOU'REAMAZING!"
"Um... I think you should calm down a little."
"Oh... Um. Sorry. Yeah I'll stop freaking out. But still, thanks Fluttershy! You truly are amazing!"
"Wait, did you-... Never mind."

Fluttershy lead Buttercup through Ponyville, while keeping an eye out for Rainbow Dash. She noticed Twilight walking towards her library, and stopped her.
"Hey Twilight." Twilight probably knows where Rainbow Dash is.
"Hey Fluttershy. Who's the filly?"
"Fluttershy, I thought we were lookin' for Rainbow Dash."
"This is Buttercup, she's the daughter of Fox Shine. I'm fillysitting for him."
"Fox Shine? I don't know who he his, but ok."
"Fluttershy, are you ignorin' me?"
"Oh, I'm sorry. We are looking for Rainbow Dash, I'm going to see if Twilight knows where she is."
"Oh... Alright."
"So um... Twilight, do you know where Rainbow Dash is?"
"Sorry, I don't. In fact, I didn't see her at all yesterday, and I haven't seen her yet today."
"Aww..." Buttercup moaned. "Let's keep looking Fluttershy."
"Alright. Thanks anyway Twilight."
"Good luck finding her! She'll turn up sooner or later."
Buttercup looked up at Fluttershy and said, "If nopony has seen Rainbow Dash since two days ago, doesn't that mean she could be in trouble? Maybe she's sick."
"Just because me and Twilight haven't seen her for two days, doesn't mean nopony has seen her for two days. We can still ask Pinkie Pie, Applejack, and Rarity."
"What about other ponies?"
"Well, actually, I'm not sure how many other ponies really know Rainbow Dash very well."
"Oh, okay... Hey... Wait." Buttercup and Fluttershy stopped walking for a second. "Do you hear that?"
Fluttershy listened intently and heard a humming sort of sound fading in and out, before coming to a stop. "It was probably nothing. Let's keep going."
"But, I've never heard anything like that." Buttercup turned around. "Hey... Was that there a second ago?"
Fluttershy also turned to see what Buttercup was looking at, and saw a strange blue box that said "Police Box" on the top of it.
