*Madness P.O.V, at The Factory *

I walked to my fridge, & just before I went in, I checked the time. It was 8:39 P.M. I muttered, to myself, "It's dinnertime, & I think I'm going to have some spaghetti."

I walked into my fridge, & grabbed a track of intestines, some eyes, & some tomatoes. Then I shut my fridge closed, as I was walking to the cafeteria. I cut the intestines into noodles, ground the eyes into meatballs, & squished the tomatoes for the sauce. A half hour later, my dinner was ready. I took my dinner to my usual spot. When I was finished, I cleaned up my mess, & went to make the prisoners their dinner.

After I was done, a pony came in, & took the dinner. He wore a dark green hat, & a pure white coat, all you could see was his eyes. They were friendly, but sad, pale green. The prisoners named him Feeder, cause they only seen him around dinner. Feeder gave each pony, a glass of water, an apple, & a piece of bread

After that was done, I went to my room, ponies would have thought it was for a lunatic, padded walls & a bed. I walked into my room, closed the door & locked it, then went to sleep. As I was looking at dreams, I saw Luna, watching other ponies' dreams. So, I avoided her, & went back to looking into dream. After what seemed like an hour, one dream caught my attention, I recognized it as Spikes. He was dreaming of him and Rarity, which gave me an idea. So I woke up & sent him a letter.

*Spike P.O.V, at Twilight's castle, few minutes ago*

I was dreaming of Rarity, when I was woken up by a letter, addressed to me. Not to disturb Twilight, I quietly walked out of the room. After I closed the door, I read the letter:

Dear Spike,

I have an offer for you. Meet me at the park, bring me 3 of Twilight's books of magic, & I might help you get Rarity.

Madness

P.S. The time for the meeting is at midnight tonight. Don't tell anypony about this meeting, or I kill whoever knows about the meeting, & Rarity.

I looked at the clock, it was 11:52. So, I ran to the library, grabbed 3 magic books, & ran to the park.

*At the park*

I was pacing back & forth, waiting for Madness to show up. When I looked at the clock, it was 12:05. I muttered, to myself, "Where is he?" Then a creepy fog rolled in, & covered the ground. I looked around, as I said, terrified, "Who's there? Madness, is that you?

Then a voice, quiet as the wind, said, behind me, "Madness isn't here, but you may call me Shadow." I whipped around to see, no one. I went to grabbed the books, to only grab a note that read "Thank You, Your reward will come in the morning"

I shook my head, then went home. The next morning, Madness' promises came true, I woke to Rarity screaming & Sweetie Belle bursting into the room, gasping for breath. I jumped out of my bed, & said, "Sweetie Belle, what's wrong?"

Between gasps of breath, Sweetie Belle said, "It's Rarity, come quickly."

Sweetie Belle & I ran to Rarity's house. We burst in, & saw Rarity pacing back & forth. I ran up to Rarity, & said, "Rarity, what's wrong, are you hurt?

Rarity shook her head & said, "No, but all my fabric, gems, thread, & dresses are gone."

I said, without thinking,"Don't worry, Rarity, I will find your stuff." Then I was grabbed & hugged by Rarity, while she kept saying thank you. After she was done, Sweetie Belle & I walked out the door.

Once we were outside, Sweetie Belle said, "Well, where do you think they are?"

I shugged my shoulders, then said, "I don't know where they are, but I think I know who might know. You would know him, or her. I kinda didn't the pony, or what creature it is. Well, bye."

Sweetie Belle, looking confused, said, "Okay, bye."

Then I ran off to the castle. Once I got in, I grabbed a piece of parchment, a pen (OR WHATEVER CALL THE WRITING UTENSIL), & ink, then written a message to Madness, saying, "Can you give me a clue on where Rarity's stuff is, & I'll bring more books." A few minutes later, I received a message from Madness. It read:

Meet me at The Factory, books for answers, now & later. Madness

*At The Factory*

When I there, carrying 3 books with me, I saw Madness waiting, outside, for me. He smiled, when he saw me, then said, "How ya doin Spike? So, did ya bring some magic books?" I nodded, then gave him the books. After he gave the books to one of his guards, he turned, towards me, & said, "Well deal's a deal, here's the stuff" As he was giving me Rarity's stuff, he said, "Just say you found them in a safehouse, in the everfree forest."

I was about to leave, when I remembered something. I turned to Madness, & said, "The creature that met me last night said it's name was Shadow. Who's Shadow?"

Madness turned his head, & said, "Hmm, oh, he's my assistant. Now run along."

I said, after think how to put it, "How do I meet with him, cause me disappearing during the day will make them suspicious."

Madness said, as he walked away, "Just be in the park at midnight."

*Outside Rarity's house*

I was about to knock on the door, when Rarity ripped open the door. When she saw me, & her stuff, she gasped, then levitated me into the air, & spun me. As she was doing that she said, "Where did you find my stuff?"

I thought, before answering her, "Not again, well, at least Rarity's know when to do it, unlike Twilight. Then I said, "In a safehouse, inside the everfree forest." As she said her thanks, she kissed me on the cheek. Then I walked home feeling like I was floating on a cloud.

*Madness P.O.V*

I was in my office, looking through the books Spike gave me, then I knock on the door. I opened the door, to find a changling at my door. I said, "What is it, & hurry up, I'm busy."

The changling, slowly, walked into the room, then said, "Sir, we, uh hit a little snag"

I stopped what I was doing & closed the book, the changling flinched for each book, then I said, "A little snag, you say, what is this little snag?"

The changling backed up a little, then said, "We kinda misplaced the book."

I sighed, turned the chair, then said, "Leave."

The changling was stunned, while he said, "Uh, sir?"

I turned the chair, then said, "I said leave." Then the changling went flying into the fridge, a sickening crack came from his head. He slumped onto the ground, dead, blood pooling around his body. I called for a guard, when the guard arrived, I said, "You know what to do."
