Fluttershy's Dilemma

On her way into the Everfree Forest, Twilight spots Zecora trotting her way to her.

"Zecora!"

"Twilight, I have news regarding your friend, Fluttershy. She seems to have changed her demeanor, and I do not know why," stated Zecora.

"I know. Her pet rabbit, Angel Bunny, told me about her strange behavior. Do you know anything about this?"

"Yesterday, when Fluttershy came to my home, she asked for some wild berries I could loan. She needed them, but for what reason, I do not know. She seemed to be in a hurry, so I gave them to her so she could go."

"I wonder what she needed those berries for?" Twilight thought. "Well, do you know where she is now?"

"I am sorry; I do not her current location, but if you find her, make sure to keep your hesitation. Her change in personality could be unstable. Heed my words, for this is not a fable."

"Ok. Thanks, Zecora!" Twilight flew off to Ponyville to inform her friends.

Back in Ponyville, Twilight informs her friends and the other ponies about the situation with Fluttershy. Everypony starts to murmur and whisper to each other.

"What?! That doesn't sound like Fluttershy at all!" Rarity gasped.

"Well, there must'a been somethin' that made her upset, causin' herself to do somethin' like that," Applejack suggested.

"What should we do about it? We don't know where she is," said Rainbow Dash.

"There's gotta be a way to find her! There's just gotta!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed.

"Don't worry, Pinkie. We'll find her." Twilight gave Pinkie a reassuring pat on the back and a smile.

"Well, what are we waiting for? Let's get this search party started!" Rainbow Dash flies off in the sky.

"I think Rainbow Dash is going to search in Cloudsdale," Twilight said. "Ok, AJ and Pinkie, you two search around Sweet Apple Acres. Rarity and I will look around the castle." Twilight turns to the crowd of ponies. "The rest of you ponies search anywhere you're familiar with. It doesn't matter if Fluttershy has never been to a certain location or not, anything is possible. Make sure you all come back to Town Hall if you can't find anymore information about Fluttershy's whereabouts. Alright! Let's go!"

***********************************************************************************************************************

Everypony has worked diligently on their search for Fluttershy. Everypony looked everywhere, all around Ponyville, Sweet Apple Acres, Manehattan, Canterlot, the Crystal Empire, and anywhere else you could think of in Equestria. But there was no sign of Fluttershy anywhere. Everypony returned to Town Hall with fear of never seeing Fluttershy again or never knowing what happened to her.

"Aw man! We searched everywhere, but there was no trace of Fluttershy!" Rainbow Dash complained. "I'm starting to think that something bad happened to her."

"Keep your chin up, Dash," Applejack said. "We'll find Fluttershy one way or another."

"But we searched everywhere!" Pinkie Pie whined. "She's nowhere to be found!"

"No, Applejack's right," Twilight said. "Maybe there's some hidden area we haven't found yet."

"What do you mean? We all practically know Equestria like the back of our hooves," Rainbow Dash said.

"But don't you guys remember that village we went to last time? We never knew anything about it until the Cutie Map showed us."

"But we don't have Fluttershy to access the map," Rarity said.

"We don't need the map to find her. I've been working on a telepathy spell to connect my mind with Fluttershy's. This way, we'll know where she is and what she's doing."

"That's a swell idea, Twilight!" Applejack exclaimed.

"Yeah, Twilight! Do your thing!" Rainbow Dash said.
