The creed of Equestria
The strange figure
Previous ChapterNext ChapterThe next day, Elemental was walking around town in hopes to find Globe when he spotted Thunderlane and Big Macintosh talking in the market.
“Hey Thunderlane, Big Mac!” He shouted getting their attention and approached them.
“Hey Elemental! What are you up to?” Asked Thunderlane wondering why he had called to them.
“I was wondering if you two knew where Globe is? He is the new pony.” Answered Elemental.
“I haven’t seen him since last night.” Said Big Mac.
“Me to,” Answered Thunderlane “I wonder where he is... I want to race him again, he is one fast stallion.”
Said Thunderlane.
"Strong too.” Added Big Mac.
“Sneaky as well. He scared me for scaring Twilight and Fluttershy” Finished Elemental when they all saw Fluttershy walk towards them.
“Are you three talking about Globe?” Asked Fluttershy who was obviously interested.
“Yeah. Have you seen him today?” Asked Thunderlane as Fluttershy became her shy self again.
“No I haven’t. Only last night I hoped to show him my cottage and a few other ponies today...” Answered Fluttershy when she looked to the ground and saw a shadow move on the roof tops shadow. “What?” she said when she looked up and saw a figure move out of sight on the rooftop.
“Did you see that?” Asked Thunderlane when Fluttershy looked up to see all three of them also see the figure.
“What was that?” Asked Elemental looking at them.
“I don’t know, but I got this strange feeling something is about to happen...” Answered Big Mac when he started to walk away.
“Where are you going?” Asked Fluttershy when Thunderlane and Elemental followed.
“I’m going to see where that figure's going.” Big Mac answered when the other two nodded.
“I’m coming then.” Said Fluttershy, following them.

“Did any of y'all see where it went?” Asked Big Mac looking at the roofs seeing nothing.
“Nope.” Answered Thunderlane and Elemental.
“No.” Answered Fluttershy looking disappointed when they all stopped walking.
“Maybe it's here...” Said Elemental when he started to look at the crowd.
“Maybe... let’s look.” Said Thunderlane when they all heard screaming and saw ponies running.
“What’s going on?” Asked Fluttershy as she and the three stallions made their way through the running ponies to find a sight they did not want to see. On the ground about ten yards ahead of them was a changeling lying on the ground before being pulled into an alley way.
“Fluttershy, Thunderlane, Big Mac, Elemental” They all turned to see the rest of the main six running towards them.
“Did you four see that?” Twilight asked galloping in a hurry.
“Yes we did.” Answered Elemental.
“I can’t believe this happened!” Said Rarity on the verge of passing out.
“I know! How can there be a changeling in PonyVille?” Said Thunderlane making the 5 mares confused.
“What in equestria are you talking about? A stallion was just murdered!” Said twilight a little mad at Thunderlane, thinking he was trying to be funny.
“Where?” Asked Elemental making them all mad and confused.
“We just saw a changeling corpse being dragged into this alley.” Said Big Mac.
“That was a stallion!” They all shouted.
“We saw a changeling.” Said Elemental confused.
“Come, look.” Said Twilight bringing them into the alley to find the corpse.
“See! A stallion!” Said applejack confused by her brother.
“That’s a changeling.” Said Thunderlane making them all horribly confused.
“Fluttershy isn’t this a stallion?” Said Rarity putting Fluttershy out of her comfort zone.
All fluttershy did was quiver, making the mares think she nodded.
“See even Fluttershy says it is a stallion!” Said rainbow getting off the ground “Let’s find this killer and stop him!” She shouted with the other 4 nodding and running of while she flew away.
“I actually see a changeling... Not a stallion...” Said Fluttershy making smiles come from the stallions.
“But how come we see a changeling and they don’t?” Asked Thunderlane with them all confused.
“A bigger question is, who did this?” Said Elemental as they all looked at each other, with none of them knowing a figure in a white robe was watching them from the roof before running off.
A few hours after that all happened, Fluttershy was still looking for Globe, while the stallions went home trying to figure out why they saw a changeling. After a while of looking, she found Globe at the park.
“Globe!” She said as she began to walk towards him catching his eye.
“Hey Fluttershy. What’s going on?” Asked Globe when she walked right next to him.
“I wanted to introduce you to a few ponies and show you my home!” She said as they started walking off.
“Ok. Show me these other ponies.” Said Globe as they walked into town.
After a while, Fluttershy introduced him to Octavia, who was a very fancy earth pony, Vinyl Scratch who was a talented dj and roommate of Octavia, Bon Bon, an earth pony who appears to have something to do with sweets, and Lyra a unicorn who plays the harp very well.
“Anypony else?” Asked Globe as they walked towards a house.
“Just two more!” Answered Fluttershy knocking on the door seeing a brown stallion answered it.
“Hello Fluttershy! how may I help you?” Asked the stallion letting her in.
“I’m here to introduce you to--” Said Fluttershy before Globe cut her off.
DOCTOR Hooves! It’s been a long time!” Said Globe putting his hoof out.
“Ah Globe! I didn’t expect to see you here!” Said Doctor Hooves, shaking his hoof.
“You know each other?” Asked Fluttershy walking in.
“Of course! We met in Canterlot, and I must say Globe, you look as fine as ever!” Answered Doctor Hooves.
“Well, I wish I could stay and catch up, but Fluttershy is showing me around.” Said Globe, making Doctor Hooves a little disappointed.
“Alright, but we will talk later.” Said Doctor Hooves as Globe and Fluttershy left.
“Now who is this last pony?” Asked Globe, when a grey mare in a mail outfit crashed in front of them.
“Her.” Said Fluttershy as the mare got up.
“Hi Globe!” The mare said, waving at Globe as he waved back.
“Hi Ditzy! Yes I met her in Canterlot too” Said Globe as Ditzy flew off to deliver more mail.
“Well you seem to know everypony I wanted to show you. Now, let’s see my cottage. I need to finish helping the animals anyway.” She said as they CONTINUED walking.
After a ten minute walk they made it to Fluttershy’s cottage which was full of animals waiting for her to be put to bed.
SORRY I’m late. I was showing my friend around.” Apologised Fluttershy as she started putting animals to sleep.
“May I meet him?” Said a voice as a strange creature appeared in the ROOM.
“Discord!” Said Fluttershy surprised, “I didn’t know you were here!” She said, still startled.
“Well, I am, and I would like to meet this friend of yours.” Discord said seeing Globe at the doorway getting a worried expression.
“This is Globe.” Said Fluttershy as she went outside to put more animals to bed.
“I didn’t expect to see a pony like you around here." Said Discord staring at Globe.
“I am aware that you are not allied with them any more, so I’m not here with you.” Said Globe making
Discord sigh with relief when Fluttershy came inside
“The animals are asleep.” She said walking into the living room.
“Well, I should head home now. Nice talking to you Discord. Bye” Said Globe as he walked away.
“He is one SPECIAL stallion. You picked a good one.” Said Discord making Fluttershy blush. “I can tell you like him.” Said Discord as he walked inside.
"I do like him" Said Fluttershy, smiling as she headed upstairs.
