The Enigma

Chapter 4: You Again?

"HEEEEEEEEEELP!"
Buttercup froze. "What was that?" She looked up at Fluttershy.
"I-I don't know! We should get out of here!"
"Get out of here? No way! Someone might be in trouble! We gotta go help 'em!"

"But it's dangerous!"
"Exactly!"
"W-what?"
Buttercup turned around and tried to think where it had sounded the cry for help had come from, but couldn't remember.
"HEEEELP ME!"
"Ah! There we go!" Buttercup got it now, and ran towards it.
"No! Buttercup! Wait!"
Ignoring Fluttershy, Buttercup ran through the streets of Ponyville, and managed to confuse her self every now and then, but eventually, she turned a corner and stopped.
"Hey, it's you again! Your that pony that came outta that blue box... It was called The Tar, right?"
"Umm... Yes! But, what are you doing here, little filly? You should go, it's dangerous! I'm The Doctor by the way! Hey, wait, didn't you have another pony with you before?"
"The... Doctor? Doctor... Who?"
"Just The Doctor!"
"The Doctor? That's it?"
"Well, some ponies call me Doctor Whooves, actually, but I prefer The Doctor, or just Doctor."
"...What..."
"Umm... Doctor?" Buttercup jumped when she heard another pony talk. She hadn't even realized there was somepony standing behind The Doctor!
"Oh! Right! Again, you should leave, filly, it's dangerous right now, and I'm awfully busy!"
"How is it dangerous? I heard someone cry for help, but I can't see why, and I'm pretty sure this is where-"
"Buttercup!" Buttercup recognized Fluttershy's voice, and thought she must be looking for her.
"I'm over here, Fluttershy!" Buttercup turned around, and after a few seconds Fluttershy came around the corner.
"Buttercup! Please don't run off like that again! I was awfully worried!"
"Oh come on, Fluttershy! You could've followed me easily, right? I mean, you should be faster than a filly like me, shouldn't you? Don't tell me your slow at flying AND running!"
"Buttercup, you shouldn't have run off to somewhere that could possibly be dangerous! You could have been hurt if there was some sort of monster!"
Buttercup sighed. "Sorry, Fluttershy. But, I LOVE running into danger! My dad actually considered changin' ma middle name to danger! Danger is fun!"
"Well, don't please try not to."
"Alright, I promise I won't."
Fluttershy stepped past Buttercup. "I'm sorry, sir. I hope Buttercup didn't get in your way."
"Oh, it's fine."
Fluttershy turned and began to walk away. "Come on, Buttercup. Let's go look for Rainbow Dash again."
"Alright. Hey wait, if somepony was in trouble, what that pony was being chased by a monster? What if that monster had got Rainbow Dash! That would explain why she went missing!"
"Buttercup, the only place near here with monsters is the Everfree Forest, and they never seem to come out unless lured out. I doubt Rainbow Dash went into the Everfree Forest."
