  Fluttershy's eyes flickered open as sunlight hit her face. She sat up and yawed. It was a new day and her animal friends were probably hungry so she quickly ran a brush through her knotted mane and smoothed down her ruffled feathers then she zipped downstairs into the kitchen.

   She had just finished feeding her friends and was moving on to clean out some cages when she noticed her cutie mark had started glowing. She knew what this meant, Twilight's map was summoning her. She had hoped it wouldn't be sending Her on some friendship mission anytime soon because it usually led her and her friends on a dangerous mission to bring harmony to some grumpy creatures or ponies, Pinkie and Rainbow had just recently been sent to bring friendship back to Griffonstone. She opened her door and reluctantly stepped outside. Angel poked her and looked at her with curious eyes.

" Sorry Angel," she said"Twilight's map is summoning me, I can't ignore this. Even if I don't want to do it..." her voice trailed off to some unknown land leaving her behind with her thoughts.

Angel seemed to understand and began pushing and kicking on her leg telling her to get going. She sighed and started trotting nervously down the road towards Twilight's castle.

       Big Macintosh was up and was bucking  apples from the north field and was about to load the filled buckets into his cart when he felt a tingling sensation where his apple cutie mark sat. He looked at his cutie mark when his eyes went as big as Granny Smith's  famous apple pie when he seen that his cutie mark had been glowing!

     He looked around to see if it was some sign for something. He didn't see anything. He pondered for a few minutes he could've sworn he'd seen something like this before. Ah yes! Applejack's cutie mark had done this before and when it happened she ran off somewhere, he'd heard her say something about a map or maybe a scroll or something like that. He decided to ask Applejack what this meant and he trotted hastily toward the east field where his little sister was bucking apples.

      He trotted up to where Applejack was bucking apples and she lifted her head up from her work.

    "What's up Mac, are ya already done with yer' chores?" she asked.

    He shook his head and answered," Nnnope."

    She looked at him for a second," Then what are ya doin' here Mac we need those chores done, we're behind as it is!" She looked at him with a scolding look but then as if to answer her question she noticed the strange glowing emitting from her big brother's flank.

    Her eyes were almost bigger then Mac's when he'd seen them.

    'Why, Mac Twilight's map is summon'n ya! I had no clue it could send ponies that aren't the holders of the Elements!" She paused for a moment in confusion then seen her big brother who looked like she just turned into a vampire pony. She mumbled something to herself but Big Mac didn't hear. Then Applejack turned her gaze over to look him directly in the eye," Ah know I sometimes run off for a while, but I make up for it by putting in extra effort when ah get back to work, that goes the some for you ye hear?"

     Big Mac was probably beyond confused if there was such a thing. A map? Elements of harmony? Cutie marks? What in tarnation did that all mean?!Then he realized Applejack had spoken again and he stiffly nodded and said," Eeyup.."

     Applejack then spoke up again," Ah reckon y'd better get to Twilight's castle soon, she'll be expecting ya."

     With that she turned around and continued on with her chores, bucking furiously at an apple tree that wouldn't give up any apples. His hung his head low and began walking on the direction of Ponyville , he'd rather be working the fields then looking at some map.

Fluttershy peeked her head over the wall where Twilight sat in her throne taking notes and mumbling to herself. Fluttershy tip-toed slowly to where Twilight sat and Twilight and looked up. She said," Oh Fluttershy!! I've been waiting for you to come I've been waiting for a while now so I decided to take a few notes and see if I could piece it all together, here sit down!"

pointing to Fluttershy's own throne thing.

     She sat down and looked over to Twilight who was finishing up on her notes with a confused look,piece what together? Finally she finished and looked over to Fluttershy," Okay I think you might want to see this, I never knew it could happen but here it is, I know you're probably going to have a lot of questions but I'm about as confused as you." she said in a tone that made her sound disappointed as she cast a spell to bring up the map.

     Fluttershy stared, her mouth slightly open as Twilight continued on, her eyes glued to the butterflies and big green apple circling around a huge wilderness. This sent a shiver through her spine that wilderness looked very..wild.

     " Big Mac was summoned as well, I had no clue that ponies who were not involved with the elements of harmon-" She was cut off as Big Mac trotted into the room.

    " Ah, there you are! We've been waiting!" Twilight exclaimed.

*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_

  Big Mac looked around and spied Twilight and... Fluttershy! Uh oh he wasn't being sent to look at a map with.. Fluttershy. He always felt so klutzy around her. He walked up numbly trying hard not to stare at her. He looked at a map of Equestria laid out in front of them and sat down.

    " Okay." said Twilight as she got straight to he point" You two are going into Ogre territory."

He looked over and seen Fluttershy pull her ears back as she shrank into a mess of yellow feathers and pink hair.

     Twilight continued" I'm not sure why but it wants you to find an ogre tribe called the "BloodSpear" tribe"

      He could see Fluttershy was now shaking in fear as she shrunk even smaller, Celestia knows how she was already as small as she could get, at least he thought so.

     "You'd better get going if you want to be there by the end of the week." Twilight said and looked at Fluttershy with a hint of sympathy toward the timid pegasus.

     " I know it's scary Fluttershy but you need to get find the Bloodspear tribe, I doubt you can skip this mission."

   Fluttershy tried to shrink even more and hide in her mane but she knew Twilight wouldn't leave her alone until she agreed to go. So she slowly came out of her mane and Twilight looked at her with an encouraging smile. The sympathy must've been replaced by encouragement. She resisted the urge to roll her eyes she knew Twilight meant well but sometimes all of the encouragement could be annoying.

      Twilight's smile grew a bit as she seen her yellow friend emerge from her pink hair that was hiding the yellow until now and said" Good, okay so you will need to start here..." She said as she pointed somewhere on the map.

     Fluttershy looked to where Twilight pointed and sighed she might as well get this over with and she'll never have to do it again, until the map sends her on some other mission with her friends. She wondered why the map had sent Big Mac,and she had noticed how he always acted weird around her. She snapped back into reality as Twilight continued talking about the map or something other but she didn't really hear her because her mind was set on how scary the trip would be and a shiver went down her spine.
