Seemingly Lost

There was no turning back for Cheese Sandwich. A week went by, without stopping. Day and night, he searched. Once he thought he had searched all of Equestria, he backtracked all of it. And after that, he backtracked a third time. He knew that Pinkie Pie was out there somewhere, waiting for him. He checked back at Ponyville multiple times, but he didn’t care for anypony there, as long as Pinkie wasn’t one of them. While he was there, ponies tried to reason with him. They tried to stop him. But they were trying to talk sense into a madpony. Without Pinkie Pie, there was no Cheese Sandwich either.

This was it, Twilight thought to herself. It had been just under a week since Pinkie’s disappearance, and everypony was tired. Including Twilight. She stumbled on a rock, and Spike fell off her back. Figures, I guess. The place was covered with rocks, head to toe. It was hard not to trip on one.

Twilight knocked on the door, and nopony answered for a few seconds. She considered turning back, but then, somepony answered. “What is it?”, he asked. Twilight had forgotten about the boredom that surrounded this place. Hard to believe Pinkie had grown up here. The rock farm was so…… UNLIKE Pinkie.

“Yes, um, have you seen Pinkie……. er, Pinkamena anywhere?”, Twilight asked, as calmly as she could manage.

“Yes. She is in her room. You can go up there to see her if you want.”.

`“Alright!”, Twilight said, delighted. “I’ll go up to see her right now!” She ran up the stairs. Faster than Rainbow ever could, Twilight thought. She threw open the door and found……..

No Pinkie? There was a table, a window, and a chair, but no Pinkie. That was strange, I mean, Igneous Rock had told her she was up here.

Wait, Twilight told herself. There’s always some reason for this. I mean, why would Igneous tell her that she was up here if she wasn’t? He seemed like a trustworthy guy. He wouldn’t lie, especially to Twilight. “Are you sure that Igneous told us to go to this room?”, Spike asked. Twilight didn’t answer. She was too busy looking for clues. The chair & table were in perfect condition, and there was nothing else in the room, except a pile of rocks in the corner. Twilight investigated the rocks, but they just seemed like normal rocks.

“Hold on a minute, Spike.”, said Twilight.

The window was open. There was a light breeze flowing through the curtains. Twilight told Spike that Pinkie could’ve escaped through the window. It was possible. Twilight searched the rest of the house, just in case. Nopony was around, except for Igneous and his wife, Cloudy Quartz. Marble & Limestone Pie were playing with, um……..., rocks in the corner. Not a single Pinkie, sadly. This confirmed Twilight’s theory. Pinkie Pie had left through the window.

“Great! Just great!”, Twilight said, clearly sarcastic. “Now we’ve lost our only lead to Pinkie!”

Twilight had missed something very important in her haste to find Pinkie. There was a notepad, behind a curtain, on the windowsill.
