    "Alright everypony," Twilight said. "I bet you're wondering why I gathered you here.

    "To throw a party?"

    "To get makeovers?"

    "To have a race?"

    "To nurture animals?"

    "No, no, no, no! Remember that fire pegasus that is Princess Celstia's secret adopted daughter?" The 4 nodded. "Well, um, I kind of set her free, and now we have to find her and well, I haven't really thought about what to do when we find her."

    "You set her free?!" Rainbowdash exclaimed. She flew over to Twilight and put her hooves on her head. "Are you NUTS?!"

    "I have to agree, and believe me, I know nuts," Pinkie Pie couldn't help but to say.

    "I have to say, it was a mistake to set FireShine free from the castle but I'll help you find her. We all make mistakes," Fluttershy heartedly said.

   Twilight shook her head in annoyance. "You guys! You have to help me, we cannot have Princess Celestia finding out what I did, my life will practically be over and Celestia won't think of me as her best student anymore!"

   "Fine I'll help you dear," Rarity said with a flip of her purple mane.

    "I will too, I guess." Dash added.

    "Me three!" Pinkie yelled.

    "Me four," Fluttershy shyly said.

    "Well then lets go find this pony!"

    The 5 ponies ran out the door and began their search.

    Shimmery Bloom skipped down the street that was lined with carts of ponies selling things and pedestrians. Shimmery Bloom's deep purple mane was flapping as she skipped with her head up high.

    "Good morning, Shimmery Bloom!"

    "Good afternoon, Shimmer!"

    "What a wonderful evening, Bloomy!"

    All ponies greeted the dark blue unicorn as she trotted back and fourth around the same street for every day and night. Shimmery Bloom almost tripped with the heavy hay stack on her back but regained her balance. She was very likeable and liked by every pony in sight. When a pony was in need, she helped them at all times. She was known for that. I mean, yeah she was also known as the hay deliverer but she was more than that. She was kind.

    FireShine smirked and walked creepily around the plaza, eyeing and making faces at all the unseen ponies around her. She crossed by a loud seller that was  selling oranges. She crossed by a quiet seller selling jewelry. So many people, so many faces, just how she liked it. She could easily cause mischief around here. Shimmery Bloom was on selling duty today, at a stand selling hay stacks to the nearby pedestrians. FireShine did like all the people, but only because she hated them. She could do bad things to them. She was unstoppable. She glanced at the hay stacks that were being sold. She chuckled because she knew that hay can be flammable.

    "Excuse me, are these hay stacks for sale?" FireShine asked.

    "Yes they are, would you like to make a purchase?" Shimmery Bloom had kind blue eyes that were staring straight at the fire pony. Her smile was kind and gentle until the fire pony's mane and tail burst into pure flames. Shimmery Bloom gasped and leaped back but FireShine acted as if she didn't notice her burning mane.

    "Hmmm...is this one available?" FireShine said as she hovered her mane over the hay and set it on fire. "Or is this one available?" the flaming pony said as she walked over to another and set it on fire. The fire spread quickly so Shimmer Bloom leaped out of her seat which was behind the hay.

    "Hey! You can't set my hay on fire!" Shimmery Bloom said as if she was fearless. By now everypony were staring at the two, backing away.

    "Hmmm well I just did, and soon the whole plaza will be set on fire as well." As Shimmery Bloom was being distracted by her emotions, the fire was spreading to other stands.

    "Everyone! RUN!" Shimmery Bloom warned everyone as the fire was spreading. FireShine cackled and flew up into the clouds where no one could see her. Most ponies were able to escape but some were trapped. Shimmery Bloom, one of the ponies able to escape had to save everypony. She teleported herself back into the flames.

    She ran to a circle of trapped ponies and started to put them on her back and teleporting them to safety with her magic. She suddenly heard a horn and glanced up. There, the same rescue ponies that saved the apple family were ready to, well, rescue!  They again scooped up the trapped ponies including Shimmery Bloom and guarded them to safety. Everypony was safe thanks to Shimmery Bloom. She sighed in relief and collapsed to her knees.

    "Wow, you're a hero," said a rescue pony as she found Shimmery Bloom through the crowd of ponies.

    "Oh, it was nothing," Shimmery Bloom hacked. She was violently coughing of the smoke that caught in her lungs.

    "Why don't we clean you up," said the rescue pony. She huddled Shimmery Bloom onto her back and flew to a hospital. By then Shimmery Bloom was passed out.
