Fluttershy flew swiftly along the crowded streets of pony ville, A small basket weaved by Rarity in her mouth. Angel bunny jumping around on her back excited. Once a patch opened up, Fluttershy softly landed on the tickling grass. She trotted carefully around the ponies coming up in her direction. She stopped briefly to smell the gorgeous flowers in Rose's shop.
"Oh, my." Fluttershy turned to the smiling Rose. "These flowers are amazing in this time of bloom!" Fluttershy complimented then shared a shy smile toward the happy sales pony. She continued trotting along the dirt road, head in the clouds, and bumped into some pony. "Oh! Im so sorry!" She squealed. The purple pony paid the pony behind the cherry stand and turned to greet the nervous pony behind her.
" Accidents happen, Fluttershy." Twilight smiled with a silly grin upon her face. Fluttershy's eyes grew wide in amazement.
"Twilight?" She whispered with a hint of worry in her voice "What are you doing out of your castle now?" Twilight smiled, touched by her friends concern. She wrapped her left wing around Fluttershy.
" I don't need to stay cooped up in my castle, reading every book in my library just because i am a princess. Her tone flat and obvious. "Put the wings down and crown away and i don't get noticed much anymore!" The smile crept its way back on Fluttershy's face. The question turned to Fluttershy. "Where are you going, Fluttershy?" Twilight tilted her head slightly to the side. Fluttershy set her basket on the ground and angel hopped on top the basket.
" I left Angel with Scootaloo, Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle for the day, so to say sorry for leaving him I promised him a picnic." Fluttershy explained. Twilight turned her gaze to the frustrated bunny, who was stomping his foot impatiently and pointing at the clock tower.
"Okay". Twilight remarked slowly. "Well, have fun! When you finish, come down to my castle! Pinkie is throwing a party for the six of us!" Twilight secured her saddle bag and trotted down the road.
"Alright Angel, sorry for the stops, lets go now." She picked up her basket and continued flying through pony Ville. As she flew further, Fluttershy noticed a variety of different ponies everywhere, all new to pony Ville. Fluttershy suppressed a small, cute, giggle, knowing how Pinkie would react when she found out. Fluttershy landed on the perfect, grassy hill, complete with a flower bed of daisies and flowing, fresh water spring. Fluttershy dropped the basket and opened the top with her muzzle. Her large, aqua eyes swept over Angel. Lifting her head, Fluttershy asked the small bunny. "Oh, is something wrong Angel?" The little bunny had his arms crossed, his eyes narrowed, and his whiskers twitched with anger. Fluttershy, confused at her bunny, closed the basket again with her hoof. "Is this not good enough place to stay, Angel?" The little bunny's eyes glistened with happiness and pointed to a dark loom of forest across the valley. Fluttershy consontrated on it for only seconds before she picked up her basket and flew to where Angel wanted. After a couple minutes of flying, Fluttershy stood on a cracked dirt floor base of the entrance to a forest of danger. "Oh, Angel, we simply can go in there. You know what forest this is right?" A look of fear and something else crossed upon her face. Angel gave a small, devilish grin, than ran of into the forest. "Angel Bunny NO!" Fluttershy cried. Without a thought, Fluttershy threw her basket on the grass, it's contents flying askew, and darted after her sweet Angel bunny into the Everfree forest.
Rainbow Dash flew outside the sidelines of pony ville. Approaching her destination, she stopped and trotted the rest the way. Where Twilight's old tree library was, is now still a tree, but noticiply larger and thicker for a princesses protection. And to top it off, a canterlot like designed tower, escaping through the side. A green and violet vine twisted all the way up to the rooftop, which then divided into millions of replicas of Sapphires,Rubies,Emeralds, Diamonds,Topaz , Aqua, Jade,Opal and coral.
Rainbow knocked loudly on the large golden door decorated perfecty with leaves of silver fleur de lis. Through the peep hole at the top of the door, A large blue eye appeared. The guard inside recognized Rainbow quickly and opened the door with his golden unicorn magic. The second Rainbow trotted inside, she felt the large brass door close behind her, as a fierce gust washed over her backside.
Though the outside of Twilight's little castle was very different, The inside was completely as it was before, with the exeption of the large stone tower on the left side. Twilight sat in the back of the large library, centred perfectly in the room. She sat upon a throne twice the size of her, It was a faded pink, that matched her mane colour, than entered into a pearl white that sparkled slightly. And violet tips of the crystal looking structure. Beautifully designed cushions, made by rarity, cushioned her with their gold like stringing fabric. Twilight was lying on the cushions, her eager eyes searching for something in a book. Every time she flipped a page, her magic colour reflected light around the room after reflecting upon the gem in her crown.
Twilight lifted her eyes a little bit, enough to notice Rainbow admiring her throne. Twilight put the book down and stood up, then walked over to the bright pony. Rainbow Dash looked around the room confused.
"Where's the others? I thought I was supposed to be last to come?" Twilight smiled and rolled her eyes.
"Pinkie got carried away and decided to take the girls on a tour." Dash, Confused, narrowed her eyebrows slightly.
"But pinkie has never even been in your tower?"
"Exactly". Twilight smugly replied. Dash turned to the tower,
"Well I'll go get them, now that we're all here,"
" I don't think Fluttershy is coming though," Twilight told the awaiting pegasus.
"Oh, thats not cool!" She flew up into the tower to retrieve her three friends.
After partying for well over an hour, the large knock broke into a silence. One of Twilight's royal guards opened the door and a soft pitter patter sounded into the hall of the main library. The five girls stood there, staring at angel bunny.
Without a sound, Twilight extended a wing, and angel climbed on it. Twilight Lifted her wing and put Angel on the table. The bunny was hopping up and down pointing everywhere, and making weird hand motions.
"I think he is trying to say something?" Rarity remarked. Angel twitched, his black eyes showed his annoyance. Thinking fast, Angel caught his gaze to the parchment and ink on the desk beside him. He pushed it open and started drawing. THe ink splattered everywhere, Angel's footsteps leaving prints everywhere. When he finished, angel backed off the parchment.
"BWHAHAHA!" Rainbow laughed loudly. "If Angel had a cutie mark… It would definitely NOT be anything artsy!" She chuckled in the back as the other four examined the picture.
"It looks like, a PONY?" AppleJack murmured.
"Not just any pony", Twilight remarked. She looked at the crude sketch. The long bangs hanging in front of the pony's face seemed familiar, but the butterflies around the pony was the dead give-away. "It's Fluttershy." Twilight lifted her head. Angel nodded hard, then reached for another parchment. Angel drew trees and monsters,swamps and hydras, foggy hills and canyons. Rainbow just pulled herself together, then saw the second drawing and fell back on the ground hard.
"Is that-"
"Everfree forest." Twilight interrupted AppleJack. A short silence broke out between the five of them. Suddenly Pinkie's whole body shuddered. She vibrated up and down a couple times then stopped. Angel was writing something in terrible handwriting. The five leaned in close to read it. "It says…." Twilight paused hesitating. "Missing". She spoke again, then sharply raised her head. "Oh dear."
