Another Human Turned into a Pony in Equestriaby Razor Blade the UnicronChaptersStarlight and the DoorFlitternet's CrushSomewhere Else in EquestriaMarking Up the DateTo Cloudstale!Injuries and MysteriesLiving in a FanFicStarlight and the DoorWhen Starlight Glimmer became Princess Twilight's student, she moved into her castle. Twilight told her that she could go in every room, except for any marked with a light green X. Starlight had searched the castle from top to bottom, but only found one door with a light green X. After so examinations and eavesdropping, she had discovered that Twilight had the door marked for almost the same amount of time she'd had the castle. Starlight, overcome with curiosity, managed to figure out that somepony was going into the room on Friday around midnight. Starlight had everything planned. She would cast a 30 minute invisibility spell, and then glide (or run) into the room when the door was opened. At 11:40 pm, she snuck into position, and cast the spell. Barely ten minutes later, she heard a pony's hoofsteps. Starlight looked to see Fluttershy walking down the hall towards the door. ' Fluttershy? ' she thought, ' What in Equestria is she doing here? ' Fluttershy opened the door nice and wide. Too easy. Starlight slipped into the room easily and looked around. It was a small room with several strange items in it. There were tubes and piles filled with oats and water that lead to a small bed. Fluttershy walked up to the bed and pulled back the covers. To Starlight's utter shock, there was a small, light green filly with a navy blue mane lying on the bed. The tubes and piles led to the filly. Fluttershy nudged the filly, paused, and then left the room. Starlight was very confused, ' Why is there is a filly in here? ' she wondered, ' And why hasn't Twilight told me about her? ' The filly gave a sudden gasp and started breathing rapidly. Panicked, Starlight ran up to her and cast a spell to hopefully stop whatever was causing the rapid breathing. The filly's red eyes snapped open, and an alarm sounded through the castle. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Twilight awoke when the alarm sounded. ' What in Equestria is that racket? ' she thought, then it hit her, ' Oh! It's the alarm I set in case the filly woke up! Wait... That means that the filly is awake! ' Twilight lept from her bed and dashed towards the door she had marked around a year ago. She burst into the room, and to her shock, saw Starlight calming down the filly. "Starlight!?! What are you doing in here? I told you that you couldn't come in!" "I got curious!" she said as Twilight silenced the alarm, "Twilight, why is this filly in here?" "I'll tell you as soon as I get the others, they need to know that the filly's awake!" Twilight flew from the room, and left Starlight with the filly. "Are you okay?" Starlight asked the filly. The filly lay there in silence for a while, then asked, "Where am I?" "You're in Princess Twilight Sparkle's castle, don't you know? Do you live here or something?" "Live here? The last thing I remember was being in poison joke and nearly getting eaten by Timberwolves..." "Poison joke? Is that why your hooves are stuck to each other?" The filly looked down at her hooves, surprised, "Nopony has given me a cure for this yet? Well, it's only been a day or so-" "It hasn't been a day." said Twilight, she was back with her five other pony friends and Spike, "You've been in a coma for almost a year." "A year?" "It's okay, Flitternet." said Fluttershy, "I know this is scary for you." "Who's Flitternet?" "You are!" said Pinkie Pie, "You had a small band in your mane that said 'Property of Flitternet', so we assumed that it was your name!" "Pretty cool name!" said Rainbow Dash. "It is your name, right darling?" asked Rarity. "I think so..." "What do you mean that you think so?" questioned Applejack, "Did you forget some things?" "What can you last remember?" asked Twilight "I told Starlight that the last thing I remember was falling in poison joke and nearly being eaten by Timberwolves." "Oh, is that why your hooves are stuck together?" piped up a voice that didn't belong to anypony in the room. The ponies turned to see that the CMC were standing in the doorway. "What are you three doing here?" asked Twilight. "Weeeeeeeeeeell..." said Sweetie Belle, "we had been walking around Ponyville, helping ponies-" "An' then," said Applebloom, "we heard a noise from Twilight's castle an' decided to investigate-" "We jumped in through the window that used to be here," said Scootaloo, "and saw Flitternet lying in here!" "So when we saw everypony running here and mumblin' 'Flitternet', we just had to come an' see what was goin' on!" finished Applebloom. Everypony in the room besides the CMC and Flitternet rolled their eyes. "Aaah!" yelled Flitternet suddenly. All the ponies in room turned towards her and saw that her wings were flapping uncontrollably. "Make them stop!" she said, scared. Starlight quickly made her wings stop flapping and asked, "Where are you from?" Flitternet paused, and said, "I'm from another world." "Another world?" asked Rarity, "What do you mean?" "I'm... I'm..." "You're what?" asked Rainbow Dash. "I'm not a pony!" There was a silence after these words. "What do you mean?" asked Fluttershy, "You're a pegasus." "I was a human." "A human?" asked Applejack, "What in tarnation is a human?" "It's like what we'd turn into in we went through Twilight's mirror to where Sunset Shimmer is!" said Pinkie. Being Pinkie, nopony asked how she knew that. "I don't think that's where I'm from..." said Flitternet, "Wait, how long have I been here?" "A year." said Twilight. With that, Flitternet fainted again, just like she did one year ago. Flitternet's CrushIt had been a week since I had woken from my coma. I spent most of my time trying to remember more details about when I was a human, but couldn't remember anything before the Timberwolf incident. Applejack had gone to get a poison joke cure from Zecora, but she hadn't been home, so my hooves were still stuck together. Fortunately, Starlight was very clever and magicked up some "wheel-boots" (as she called them) for me. The "wheel-boots" were boots that fit over my hooves with wheels on the bottom of them. If I flapped my wings (which seemed to be acting like Scootaloo's wings after they had been flapping randomly) I would go forward, and I tilted to steer. When I wasn't trying to remember details about my past, I hung out with the CMC. They were really fun and seemed to have forgotten that I was a human, so they were always asking me about activities I was good at so they could help me gain my cutie mark. I especially liked Applebloom. She was always so nice and was really pretty. Everything was going pretty smoothly for me, considering the circumstances. Twilight had been sending letters to Princess Celestia and Princess Luna to see if they knew of any spells that could help. I was currently living with Applejack, as she had offered to take care of me. I tried to help with the applebucking, but I couldn't really kick trees when standing on wheels. I was going over to the clubhouse when I bumped into Rarity. "Oops, sorry Rarity!" "No, it's fine darling! In fact, I was hoping that I would see you!" "What?" "I wanted to make a lovely outfit! Free of charge!" "Well, okay." "Wonderful!" said Rarity as she pushed me into Carousel Boutique, "Now, what sort of things interest you, darling?" "Well... I like helping out on Sweet Apple Acres, hanging out with the CMC, playing with Applebloom, looking at how pretty she is-" I quickly stopped and blushed. "Well," said Rarity, "I have the perfect outfit for you!" She ran over to a drawer and pulled out a ribbon similar to Applebloom's, except in dark green. She quickly put it on me, "Do you like it, darling?" "Yeah..." I mumbled, thinking of Applebloom, "Reminds me of Applebloom. Her spunk, her looks, how determined she is..." "Oh, that is just adorable!" said Rarity. "What, the bow?" "No, no, dearie. Though the bow does look very nice on you... You have a crush on Applebloom!" "I what?!?" "You have a crush on her! Oh, that's just so cute! You should ask her out on a date!" "A date! How am I supposed to know what to do on a date?" "I can tell you just what to do, darling. Now you should go to Applebloom and ask her out!" "I guess.." I was rolling to the clubhouse, hoping that Applebloom wasn't there. Did I have a crush on Applebloom? No! Or course not! I just liked how cute she was, how nice she was, what an amazing filly she was... It hit me: I did have a crush on Applebloom! ' Of course, ' I thought, ' I'm living in a FanFic, so of course I've fallen in love! ' I walked into the clubhouse and saw Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo. "Hey there Flitter!" said Scootaloo, "We're just waiting for Applebloom to show up!" "Is something wrong?" asked Sweetie, "You look really nervous!" It just burst out of my mouth: "I have a crush on Applebloom!" For a minute, Sweetie and Scootaloo just stared at me. "You should ask her out on a date!" they said at the same time. "Really? You think so?" "Yeah!" said Sweetie, "If you really like her, you should totally ask her out!" "I guess so..." "Hi y'all!" said Applebloom as she walked into the clubhouse, "Did I miss anything important yet?" "No," said Scootaloo, "But Flitter wants to ask you something!" she pushed me towards Applebloom. "What did ya' wanna' ask me?" I was silent for a minute, scared, then I just asked, "I like you and want to go out on a date with you! Would you go out on a date with me?" I turned pink because I was blushing so hard. Applebloom blushed even harder than me, "You like me?" I nodded. "Well... I like ya' too!" Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo looked like they were about to faint. "You like me?" She nodded. "So you'll go out on a date with me?" "Yeah... Do ya want me to pick the place we go to, 'cause you don't quite know your way 'round here yet?" "That'd be nice..." "We knew it!" yelled Sweetie and Scootaloo. "We knew that you two liked each other!" Applebloom and I were blushing really hard. "How 'bout tomorrow 'round six? I'll meet you at the barn." "Sure thing." I rolled out of the clubhouse, too excited to stay. I needed to go to Rarity quick! I had no idea what to do on a date! Somewhere Else in EquestriaLocation: Classified Date: Classified Meeting Code: 6-12-9-20-20-5-18-14-5-20 "Agent 19-14-5-1-11-8-15-15-6, what have you found out about that filly?' Agent Sneakhoof pulled out his report and read it aloud to his commanding officer, "The filly, also known as 6-12-9-20-20-5-18-14-5-20, woke up from her coma one week ago. She is currently is Ponyville living on Sweet Apple Acres." "What would be the risk of trying to obtain her now?" "According to my numbers, very risky. She is under the eyes of the bearers to the Elements of Harmony, one being an alicorn, along with the royal sisters." "So you're saying that we should strike soon?" "What? No, that's what I'm saying whatsoever!" "Agent 19-14-5-1-11-8-15-15-6, you really need to relax." "Sir, shouldn't we call each other by something other than numbers? It's not really efficient." "Why, course it's inefficient, but so is everything else we do." Agent Sneakhoof stood there, and then flew into the air, back to his post in Ponyville. Princess Celestia had been getting many letters from Twilight Sparkle. They were about a young filly who had been in a coma for a year, had woken up recently, and was claiming that she used to be a human. She wasn't very convinced about the pony's claim of her being a human, but she was concerned about the filly's coma and memory loss. "Luna, could you come here?" "What is it sister?" "I need you to go to Ponyville and check on a young filly by the name of Flitternet." "Okay, what does she look like?" "According to Princess Twilight's letters, she's light green, has a navy blue mane, and red eyes." "What exactly do you want me to check?" "The filly was in coma, has suffered memory loss, and believes that she used to be a human. I want you to check if she;s right in her mind." "Really?" Luna seemed angry at the request. "What it is?" "Just because the filly, er, Flitternet, said something unrealistic or unreasonable, you think that she not in her mind?" "Um, no! It's just because she was in a coma!" "You're lying." "Fine!" Celestia was pretty annoyed, "I want you to check on the filly because she said something unrealistic or unreasonable that may mean that she's not right in her mind because of the coma she was in!" "Maybe I will check on Flitternet, and maybe I won't!" snapped Luna, and she took off towards her room. Celestia returned to her work, because she knew that Luna was going to check. "Where is she?" the mare shouted and shook the stallion, "WHERE IS SHE?" "I- don't- know!" he cried out. "You're lying! I know you are! WHERE IS SHE?" the mare was furious. "I- don't- know- who- you're- talking- about!" "You know perfectly well who I'm talking about! I'll ask you once more, WHERE IS SHE?" "The forest!" yelled the stallion, "The Everfree Forest!" "She's where?" the mare looked terrifying. "The Everfree Forest! That's where she was tracked to!" The mare froze for a minute and then dropped the stallion. She kicked him over to a thick, metal pole, where he hit his head and passed out. "It's taken me a whole year you cough this information up..." she muttered to herself, "Just to find that she might as well be dead? No, I need to find her!" The mare headed towards the exit of the battlements. She didn't bother to step over or around any of the knocked out or otherwise injured guards and citizens. With an evil grin, she blasted the main support beam with her magic, and fled from the building. As the building began to collapse in the distance, she mutter to herself again, "I'll find her... I'll find her, and bring back King Sombra using the magic she stole..." she raised her voice to a malicious yell, "I'll find you Flitternet! You can't hide from me forever!" Marking Up the DateI awoke late in the day. It was hard to believe that only the night before I had my date with Applebloom. "Flitter, I think that you're the greatest pony in all of Equestria." "I think that you're even better." The stars shone brighter, casting a light upon us. "Aren't the stars beautiful?" "Not as beautiful as you." "Flitter, you're makin' me blush!" We leaned close. "You know, I used to not believe in true love." "Really?" "I used to think that it was unrealistic, but now..." "Now?" "I know that it's real." Our mouths met and we kissed. It felt like all my fears and worries had been left behind. We held for almost a minute, and then released. We looked at each other with pure love. "Flitter! Flitter!" I looked up from my bed and out the window to see Spike calling for me. "Up here, Spike!" He looked up and saw me in the window. "There you are! Princess Luna is at Twilight's castle to see you!" "See me?" "Yeah!" "I'll be over in ten minutes!" My legs were still stuck, as the cure Twilight had brought from Zecora hadn't worked. She said that since the "joking" was old, I might need a more powerful cure. As I mounted my wheelies (as Pinkie had dubbed my "wheel-boots" something much more sensible) , I pondered over what Princess Luna could have been here for. At the time, I didn't know that Twilight had been sending letters to the Princesses. "Morin', Flitter!" called Applejack from the kitchen. "Morning, Applejack!" "What do you want fer breakfast?" "Don't have time, gotta head over to Twilight's, Princess Luna wants to see me for some reason." "Huh, that's odd. Well, you better head right on over, then!" "See you later Applejack!" "Later, Flitter!" I rolled over to Twilight's castle at full speed and made in there in just under four minutes. To my surprise, Twilight was waiting outside with Luna. "Flitter, so glad you could come so quickly!" said Twilight. "Um, why are you wearing skates?" asked Luna. "Poison joke." I said, before explaining the full story to her. "Ah, I see. But that's not why I'm here." "Why are you here?" "Twilight Sparkle has been sending my sister and I letters, and I came to check on you upon my sister's request." "What does she want you to check?" "She wanted me to check and make sure that you weren't crazy." Luna seemed very angry. "Crazy? Flitter's not crazy!" said Twilight. "Yeah, I'm not!" "I can tell that you're not crazy in the slightest, however, my sister was concerned that you might be." Luna was furious by this point, "She seems to think that saying something unrealistic or unreasonable means that you're crazy!" "That's awful..." said Twilight, "But now you can go back to Princess Celestia and tell her that Flitter's not crazy!" "I am going back to my sister right this minute to tell her." Luna muttered something under her breath as she flew off, "Crazy my hoof..." "Is that all?" "Yes, I was expecting Princess Luna to be here longer, but you can go back to whateve-" "Hey, Flitter!" interrupted Starlight, "I made you something! Why don't you come in and try it on?" "Sure?" I rolled into the castle and followed Starlight. "I know that you've been using those wheelies because you can't get your hooves apart, so I made you something new!" She magicked over a small skateboard with special hoof straps. "Here, let me help you try it on!" Soon, I was mounted on the skateboard. It was navy blue with light green wheels. "Thanks, Starlight! It looks amazing!" "No problem! I just figured that you deserved something to make you happy, you know, after the whole coma-human thing." she smiled, "Now, do you want to try it out?" "Heck yeah!" I skimmed to the door of the castle and prepared to take off. "Hey, Flitter!" called Scootaloo, as she and the other CMC noticed me. "What'cha got there?" asked Sweetie Belle. "It's a skateboard! Starlight custom made it for me." "It looks pretty awesome!" said Applebloom, then leaned closer to me and lowered her voice, "But not as awesome as you..." I blushed with embarrassment. "So, why don't you try it out?" asked Scootaloo, "If you want, I could show you how to do some tricks, 'cause a skateboard is like a scooter!" "Yeah! Come on, Flitter! Give it a whirl!" "Sure thing! Anypony want to give me a push for extra speed?" Applebloom obliged and walked behind me to give me a push. "Three!" yelled Applebloom, "Two! One! Go!" She gave me a hard push and I buzzed my wings at top speed. I was zooming across Ponyville with perfect ease. I could move in any direction with a little flick of my wings. I aimed towards a wooden board that was propped up like a jump (that was either a hazard or complete luck). I was flying through the air over everything below. I closed my eyes to prevent stinging from the air that was rushing past me. "What in Equestria is that?" I heard a voice cry out. I opened my eyes to see that I had just zipped past Rainbow Dash at top speed. "Hey, Dash!" I yelled as landed. "What th-?!?" I completed a sharp u-turn and zipped back to the castle. "How was that?!?" I asked, excitedly. The four of them were in a stunned silence. "What?" "That. Was. Awesome!" yelled Scootaloo. "You didn't even look like you had to try!" shouted Sweetie Belle. "You looked like a natural!" said Starlight. I looked at Applebloom, who was still staring in awe. "What did you think?" I asked her. "I think," she said, "That you just got you're cutie mark!" I turned to look at my flank and saw a skateboarding cutie mark with flames coming from the wheels. "Awesome!" I yelled in unison with the CMC and Starlight. "Hey, guys!" yelled Rainbow Dash as she flew over, "Can somepony explain to me what happened?" "Serves you right for not telling me sooner..." mumbled the mare. She casually threw the pony over her shoulder, and calmly started wiping the blood off her hooves. ' How are thingssss going? ' ' Fine, my King. ' the mare thought back, ' I located the filly's current location. ' ' Where issss sssshe? ' ' Ponyville. It might be difficult to obtain her. ' ' Do not be foolissssh or arrogant. Do thingssss right sssso we can accomplissssh our goal... ' ' Yes, my King. ' "How hard is it to give up information on a stupid filly?" she growled, "Next time, I'm just going to attack them until they cough up the information, hopefully before they cough up some blood!" So the filly was talented at skateboarding. Agent Sneakhoof noted that on his report. ' Cutie marks are getting stranger every day... ' he thought. He shoved the report into his bag and started back to his post. "Hello, who are you?" asked a voice. The Agent turned around to see Princess Luna standing behind him. "Hello, Princess Luna," he said before bowing, "My name is Agent Sneakhoof." "Agent Sneakhoof? Should I recognize that name?" The agent pulled out his ID card and showed it to the Princess. "Let's see... Special Agent Sneakhoof... Pegasus... Double agent?" "I'm a double agent for the Canterlot Protection Agency, I pretend to work for criminals and return the information back to the Agency." "Yes... That Agency should familiar... What are you doing right now?" "I'm keeping an eye on the young human-filly known as Flitternet." "Why?" "The criminal I'm pretending to work for at the moment wants her for her magic." "Her magic? Her human magic?" "Yes, ma'am. I wasn't aware that you were involved as well." Luna paused, and appeared to be thinking for a minute, "Can you send me your reports?" "Yes, ma'am. I can send you one every week." "Thank you, however, do not tell my sister about these reports, okay?" "I- I guess so." "Thank you, er, Sneakhoof was it?" "Yes, your highness." With a smile on her ace, Princess Luna flew towards Canterlot. Agent Sneakhoof pulled his second report back out. What was he going to lie about to Commander Shadow this time? To Cloudstale!"Applejack! Applejack!!!" "What is it Flitter?" called Applejack form the orchard, "Somethin' up?" "Look!" I turned to show Applejack my cutie mark, it was glowing and flashing, "What does it mean?" Before Applejack could reply, there came another yell. "Applejack! Mah cutie mark is glowin' and flashin'! What does it mean!" yelled Applebloom as she ran over. "I think it's the map in Twilight's castle calling ya somewhere." "Oh, yeah! I remember seeing you'er blink before!" said Applebloom, "Come on, Flitter! Let's hurry to Twilight's castle!" "Sure thing!" I said, "Do you have a wagon or something you could tie to my skateboard?" After attaching the wagon (like the wagon on Scootaloo's scooter), we were off to Twilight's castle. "Hey you guys!" yelled Scootaloo as she came out of nowhere, pulling Sweetie Belle in a wagon, "You too?" "Yeah!" we yelled back. "Hey, Scootaloo!" I called to her. "What?" "Ran ya to the castle!" "Guys, I don't that's the best idea!" yelled Applebloom and Sweetie. We accelerated to top speed and went flying towards Twilight's castle. We basically flew into the room with the map and came to a perfect stop. Sweetie Belle and Applebloom ended up going flying out of the back wagons and crashed into Twilight. "Sorry!" said Scootaloo and I. "It's fine, it's fine..." said Twilight, "What are you four doing here?" "Didn't you look at your map?" asked Applebloom. Twilight turned and saw five (yes, five) cutie marks circling around Cloudstale. "Oh! I didn't notice. Let's see, we have the cutie marks for you three..." she pointed at the CMC. "The skateboard one is mine." I piped up. "Okay, then that one's yours, and there's also-" "Hey, Twilight! Is the map calling for me?" called Starlight as she ran in, "My cutie mark is glowing and flashing!" "It is! And these four as well." said said, gesturing to the four of us. "Ooh! Where are we going?" "Looks like Cloudstale!" said Twilight. "Cloudstale?" asked Sweetie, "How are supposed to go to Cloudstale?" she pointed at herself and Applebloom. "It's a simple spell," said Twilight, "That can make it so you can walk on clouds!" "Cool!" said Applebloom. "I can already walk on clouds..." mumbled Starlight, embarrassed. "Hey, I have another idea!" said Scootaloo, "Rainbow told me about the spell you cast on Rarity that gave her wings, why not give them those?" "It's really difficult to do the spell, I really doubt that I could do it for both!" said Twilight. "I could cast the spell on Applebloom and you could cast it on Sweetie Belle!" suggested Starlight, "It would be much safer if they could fly and walk on clouds, so we wouldn't have to worry about them falling!" "Well..." started Twilight. The four of us gave Twilight sad faces. "Fine." she sighed. Twilight and Starlight faced towards Applebloom and Sweetie Belle. In a flash of light, they each had butterfly wings! "Awesome!" the four of us yelled. "Well that was pretty strenuous..." mumbled Twilight. "I see why you can only do it for one pony at a time!" said Starlight, "Come on! Let's go solve whatever friendship problem is occurring in Cloudstale!" "Wait!" I said, "We still need to bring a balloon carrier!" "Oh yeah! Sorry!" said Starlight, who had forgotten that neither Scootaloo nor I could fly. "It's okay!" said Scootaloo, who was so excited that she didn't even care. "Whoa! This place is cooler than cool!" said Sweetie Belle. "It all made of clouds? How is that possible?" wondered Applebloom. "Is this the place that Rainbow Dash did her Sonic Rainboom?" asked Scootaloo excitedly. "Yeah!" said Starlight. I just stared in awe. I'd nearly forgotten that I'd never seen anything like this before. Cloudstale was amazing! "Let's see if we can find a friendship problem!" said Starlight. We wandered around, taking in the sights. There were so many different pegasi doing so many different things that it was hard to keep track of what was going on. We ended up walking towards the weather factory. "Is it wrong that I feel really nervous?" I asked as Starlight helped me put on the safety uniform for the factory. "I don't think that you have anything to worry about!" she responded. Just as we were about to go in, we heard someone yell. "Hey, you four!" We turned to see a pegasus flying towards us. "You can't go into the factory with a skateboard!" It had become so normal for me to be on wheels that I had forgotten that I was on it! "Oh, sorry! I forgot that I was on it!" I said, "Are you sure I can't stay on my board? I need it to move around." "Sorry, kid. But no wheels or excessive flying or anything like that around here," he said, "Last time we had a pony on wheels in here, they nearly destroyed all of the snowflakes! You can put your board in a locker, though." He let me pick and locker (that was sealed with a magic lock) to put my skateboard in. "Well then" I said, "Guess that someone needs to carry me." "I'll carry you!" volunteered Applebloom. "Are you sure?" asked Starlight, "I could just levitate Flitter!" "No," I said with a slight blush, "It's fine Starlight." "Yeah!" said Applebloom, "It's fine!" Starlight levitated me on to Applebloom's back while Scootaloo and Sweetie belle made kissy-faces at us. "If you need me too, just ask!" said Starlight. As soon as she turned around, I gave Applebloom a quick peck on the cheek. We walked into the weather factory and looked around. (Why did I have a bad feeling about this place?) There were ponies making clouds, snowflakes, raindrops, and - lightning bolts? "I wanna see where they make the rainbows!" said Sweetie Belle. "That's a great idea!" said Starlight, "Let's ask somepony where they make them." Starlight walked over to a nearby worker and started to ask him where the rainbows were made. "Hey, guys! Look at this really co-" said Sweetie Belle, but cut off abruptly. "What were you saying, Sweetie?" asked Scootaloo as she turned around to see where Sweetie Belle was pointing. Sweetie Belle wasn't there. "Sweetie?" I called, "Where did you go?" When we got no reply, Applebloom called, "Sweetie Belle? Where are you?" "What's wrong?" asked Starlight. "We don't know where Sweetie went!" said Scootaloo. "Okay, no need to panic. Let's just ask if anypony saw her." We asked as many ponies as we could if they had seen a white unicorn with butterfly wings. Nopony had. "Where could she have gone?" I asked, panicked. "I don't know!" said Starlight. "Wait, has anypony seen Scootaloo?" asked Applebloom. We looked around and saw that Scootaloo was missing too! "This is not good!" said Starlight, "How could we lose two fillies just like that?" "Maybe they went to see the rainbows?" I suggested. "Yeah!" said Applebloom, "Let's check there!" Applebloom saw a sign that said Rainbows -> on it and followed it. "Sweetie Belle? Scootaloo? Are you here?" I called out as soon as we got there. There was no reply. "Oh no!" said Applebloom. "What is it?" "Where's Starlight?!? She was right behind us!" Now Starlight was gone too?!? "This is bad!" I said, "Where did our friends go?" "Alright, we gotta find somepony to help us!" said Applebloom. She started running back the way we came. We made it to the locker I had stored by board in and grabbed it out. After some minor complications, Applebloom helped me mount my skateboard and we were out of the factory. "Where are we going?" I asked as we left the factory. "Applejack told me that Rainbow Dash had practice with the Wonderbolts in Cloudstale today, so we're goin' to see if she can help!" "You couldn't find them anywhere?" asked Rainbow Dash. "We didn't see or hear any of them!" I said to Rainbow. "Do you think that you could help out?" "Definitely!" Rainbow said, "But first I need to tell the others why I have to miss practice." She flew out of the locker room we were in towards the training area. "Where do you think they are?" asked Applebloom. "I don't know!" I said, "But we'll find them!" We waited for several more minutes. "Rainbow sure is taking her time..." said Applebloom nervously. Suddenly, Soarin' walked into the locker room. "Have you guys seen Rainbow Dash? She's late for practice!" he said. "Wait, you don't know where she is?" I asked. "No, do you guys know where she is?" "She was gonna help us find some of our friends who went missin', but now Rainbow's missin' too!" said Applebloom. "Missing?" said Soarin', he sounded really concerned, "That's not a good sign..." "Soarin'!" called a voice, "Have you found out where Rainbow Dash is?" Spitfire walked in to the locker room. "She's missing!" said all three of us. "Missing?" asked Spitfire, "That's not a good sign..." "That's what I said!" said Soarin'. "Soarin' you get the rest of the team and have them start looking!" Soarin' saluted and flew off towards the field. Spitfire looked worried as she followed him. "This is bad!" said Applebloom, "First Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo and Starlight, but now Rainbow Dash?!?" "We'd better go to Twilight!" I said, "She'll know what to do!" We hurried out of the building and zoomed towards our balloon carrier. "Oh no!" said Applebloom as we arrived. Our balloon carrier was completely deflated. It had a huge tear in the side of it and the basket was missing. "How are we supposed to get to Ponyville now?" said Applebloom. I paused to think, then the only idea came into my head, "Applebloom," I said, "I can't fly, but you can." "You mean I need to fly down to Ponyville while carrying you? But I've never flown!" "Don't worry! You can just glide!" I said. "Are you sure?" she asked. I gave Applebloom a kiss on the cheek, "I trust you." Soon, I was on Applebloom's back. My skateboard was in a bag we had made form the wreaked balloon carrier. "Alright, you just need to spread out your wings and lightly step off the clouds." I said, "You can do this!" "I guess so..." said Applebloom. She walked near the edge of the clouds we were standing on. Applebloom spread out her butterfly wings and started walking towards the edge of the clouds. Before she could properly step off, we were hit by something behind us that knocked us off the clouds! "Aaaaaaaah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" yelled Applebloom. "Applebloom!" I yelled, "Spread out your wings!" Applebloom managed to spread her wings out. "I'm doin' it! I'm doin' it! I'm-" But Applebloom stopped as I slipped off her back, and fell down. "Aaaaaaaaah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I screamed, "Somepony help me!" Injuries and MysteriesAgent Sneakhoof had been looking for the four missing ponies for quite some time now. ' How could all of those ponies just go missing like that? From right under my teeth, too. ' He pulled out his paper to double check what ponies he was looking for: Rainbow Dash, Starlight Glimmer, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle. No need to ask how fast he had obtained that information so quickly. "HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!" he heard from below. The Agent put away his paper and listened for where the sound was coming from. He saw a filly with magical butterfly wings gliding down, horror-struck as she watched a filly falling - "Oh buck!" he said before diving. He couldn't dive as fast as a certain rainbow pony, but he was a trained professional. "Flitter!" yelled the yellow filly. The Agent recognized her from his files. Her name was Applebloom and was closely associated with Flitternet. But that didn't matter right now. "Aaaaaah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" yelled Flitternet as she approached the ground, that wouldn't do at all. Sneakhoof reached into his bag and pulled out one of the mini airbags, he didn't like having to work in the air so quickly. He quickly flung the airbag past Flitternet so it would hit the ground before she did. CRACK! The sound of Flitter's bones breaking sounded louder than the Agent would normally expect from things breaking. Flitternet had managed to land on the inflated airbag, but it didn't break her fall completely. "Flitter!" cried Applebloom as she landed and her wings vanished, "Did you catch her?" Though Sneakhoof wanted to stay and tell the filly that Flitternet would be fine, he couldn't risk breaking his cover. Instead, he dropped a note and took off into the sky. "Twilight! Twilight!!!" came a voice from outside the castle. Twilight looked up to see where the shout was coming from. "Twilight!!!!!" whoever was calling sounded panicked. Twilight put down her book and teleported outside. "Twilight!" it was Applebloom, "I need your help!" Twilight turned and saw Applebloom pushing Flitternet who was lying on her skateboard. "What in Equestria?" asked Twilight as she ran up to Flitter. The filly looked like she had broken her front hooves, sprained her back ones, and had a huge bruise over her right eye. Her left eye was closed and covered in blood. There was also some blood dripping out of her mouth. "What happened? And where's Starlight? And Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle?" she said in a panic. Applebloom opened her mouth to speak and fainted. "So she came back with Flitter an' just fainted?" asked Applejack. "Yes," said Twilight, "And I can't blame her. Flitter looked like she had taken serious damage, and I don't know where Starlight, Scootaloo or Sweetie Belle are! And I heard that Rainbow Dash is missing, too. All of them were in Cloudstale." One of the doors in the hospital waiting room opened. "Applebloom woke up, you can come and see her now." "Thank you, Nurse Healatha." said Applejack before trotting past her in a hurry to see her sister. "How's Flitter?" asked Twilight. "Well," said Nurse Healatha in a sad voice, "she broke her front hooves, fractured her back left hoof, sprained her right back hoof, bruised her right eye, smashed her left eye quite a bit, and knocked out nine teeth along with breaking her jaw." "Will she be okay?" "Doctor Silverhay is fixing her up right now. He even managed to get that old poison joke off her back hooves." she said with a slightly happier voice, "If you want to, you can visit Applebloom." Twilight walked past Nurse Healatha and into the room where Applebloom was. She saw Applejack wiping blood (from Flitternet) off of Applebloom. "Applebloom, are you alright?" asked Twilight. "Yeah, I'm fine..." she mumbled. "I was jus t wondering," said Twilight, trying to mask her panic, "Where are the others?" "The others?... " mumbled Applebloom. "Yes, Starlight and Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo, where are they?" Applebloom suddenly sat straight up, "They're missing! So is Rainbow Dash! We were trying to find you! But I was pushed off the clouds! And I managed to start gliding, but Flitter fell off! And then a pegasus flew by me and saved her from dying, but then he left, so I came to see you, Twilight!" There was as stunned silence after these words. "So let me get this straight," said Applejack, "You, Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle, and Flitternet were in Cloudstale. They all went missin' along with Rainbow Dash, and you were goin' to tell Twilight, but couldn't get back on to Ponyville. Then you were shoved off a cloud and some pegasus saved Flitter's life?" "Yeah..." mumbled Applebloom as she fell asleep. Twilight and Applejack both went back to the waiting room, where Rarity was waiting. "Have either of you seen Sweetie Belle?" she asked. Twilight explained what she knew of the story to Rarity. "How is Flitter?" she asked. Before Twilight could respond, the door to the Emergency Care room opened. "Excuse me," said the Nurse, "But the young pegasus filly keeps saying that she needs to see you Ms. Twilight Sparkle. She woke up just as Doc Silverhay finished fixing her up." "Oh! Maybe she knows where the others are!" said Twilight, "I'm going to go check on her." Twilight walked towards a room with a large red cross on it. "Just make sure you keep your voice low, she's not looking so good and we don't think that loud noises will help her at all." "Sure thing." said Twilight before entering the Emergency Care room. Flitter was lying down in a bed. Her hooves were all wrapped in bandages along with having splits on them. Her left eye had a patch over it and her right eye had a cooling spell over it to keep the swelling down. Her jaw was being held in place with a metal contraption. Twilight could see that her teeth were already back in. "Flitter, are you alright?" whispered Twilight. "Yeah, I'h ohkah." she mumbled. "Here," said Twilight, she quickly cast a spell that would allow Flitter to talk, but not move her jaw. "Thanks, Twilight." she mumbled, "Can you do anything for all my aches?" she joked. "What happened? We got most of the story from Applebloom, but I wanted to hear what you saw happening." "Well," mumbled Flitter, a little louder this time, "We had gone to the weather factory..." she slowly and quietly spilled out the story of what had happened. Unlike Applebloom, Flitter had told Twilight what happened in a very calm way. "Is that all?" asked Twilight. "Yeah. Did you know that skateboards aren't allowed in the weather factory?" "What?" "A pegasus total me that I had to but my skateboard away in a locker while we were in the factory." "Can I see your skateboard?" "It's under the bed." Twilight examined the board to see if there was anything different about it. "I need to analyze this just in case." "Kay..." Flitter closed her eye and fell asleep. It had been four whole days, and Twilight still didn't know the whereabouts of Starlight, Rainbow, Scootaloo, or Sweetie. She had added some protective measures to her other friend's houses. However, the pony that she protected the most was Flitter. She was released from the hospital in only two days (somehow) with braces on all her legs and an eye patch over her left eye. Twilight had made he stay in the castle with her and applied a cooling spell on her right eye until the swelling went down. The doctor had managed to "dejoke" her back hooves, but not her front ones. Twilight had given her small skates to wear on her front hooves for the moment, as she was still analyzing her skateboard. She let Flitter outside to get some fresh air at least twice a day, but with a force field around her every time for safety. She assigned Spike to keeping a watch on her while she wrote letter after letter to the Princesses. Rarity had been helping out Twilight. She looked very worried every time she came over and looked like she had been losing sleep. Twilight could blame her, as her sister was missing. On the sixth day after the ponies went missing, Spike and Flitter came running into the library where Rarity and Twilight were. "Guys! Guys!" yelled Flitter. "What is it, dearie?" asked Rarity "We saw a Changeling!" piped up Spike. "A Changeling?" said Twilight, "That can't be good. I read a book that said Changelings never travel without their leader, where were they?" The four of them quickly hurried towards the Everfree Forest, where Flitter and Spike had noticed the Changeling. "Look!" whispered Spike. It was indeed a Changeling, but it looked different from all the other ones that Twilight and her friends had fought. This one was more of a blue than black, had smaller fangs, and looked much kinder. Not one for taking risks, Twilight looked around for unfamiliar ponies or Changelings. There were none in sight. "I don't see any other Changelings..." whispered Twilight. "What should we do?" asked Rarity. "Let me think for a minute. What is it Spike?" asked Twilight, because Spike had been pulling on her mane. Silently, Spike pointed back at the Changeling, whom Flitter was causally approaching. "Flitter!" whispered Twilight as loud as she could without the Changeling hearing, "Get back here!" "Excuse me," said Flitter. The Changeling turned around with a puzzled look. "I was just wondering who you were." she said calmly. The Changeling cocked her head, and opened her mouth. ' No! ' thought Twilight, too scared to do anything, ' It's going to bite her and hurt her more! ' "You can talk, right?" asked Flitter. "Yes, I can talk." the Changeling said is a normal voice, "My name is Crissy. Who might you be little filly?" "I'm Flitternet, and I just remembered that I'm living in a FanFic." Living in a FanFicWhen I opened my eyes, I was living in a FanFic. I knew that I was, because I was lying in the Everfree Forest. Oh, and I also had light green hooves instead of hands. I managed to stand up and walked clumsily over to a nearby river. I looked down at my reflection to see a long mane of navy blue and kind, red eyes. I didn't see a horn, so I looked to see if I was a pegasus or an Earth pony. The small wings, around the size of Scootaloo's, confirmed that I was a pegasus. Noticing my small size, I turned around and saw that I had no cutie mark. I then deduced that I was a filly, and tried to remember my true age. I had read enough fan fictions to know the outline of what was going to happen, so I was remarkably calm. I practiced walking on four hooves and moving my new limbs. I managed to flick my wings out perfectly flat so I could have better balance while walking. I had no idea where to go, so I chose a direction and just started walking. I wasn't quite sure how long I had been walking for, and I didn't see any signs of life. No signs of life in the Everfree Forest? Something was wrong. I paused near a tree to look around, and noticed a tree that looked different from the others. On a closer examination, it revealed to be Zecora's hut. Without hesitation, and trotted right up to the door and knocked. There was no reply. "Hello? Anypony home?" I asked, speaking for the first time. There was still no reply. I gave up and started walking in another direction. Eventually it looked like I was heading the right way. It seemed more friendly, with more sunlight, more plants, pretty blue flowers... ' Uh oh! ' I though, ' I'm walking in a patch of poison joke! ' In a panic, I tried to run out, but tripped over my own hooves. I tried to stand up, but couldn't for some reason. I looked at my hooves, and saw that the poison joke had "joked" me by sticking my front hooves to each other, along with sticking my back hooves to each other. ' Great. ' I thought, ' How am I going to get out of here? It's hard enough to walk on four hooves, but now they're stuck together! ' "Help!" I called, "Can somepony help!" I heard a loud growl, and saw glowing eyes around me. A noxious odor filled the air. I was petrified as the Timberwolves surrounded me. "Help!" I yelled, "Help! I'm surrounded by Timberwolves and can't move!" I struggled to stand as the Timberwolves came closer, almost taunting me over the fact that I was stuck. I managed to shift into a standing position, but could walk or run. "HELP!" I cried as one of the Timberwolves pounced at me. Suddenly, I was surrounded by a purple force field, conjured out of nowhere. "Wha-?" I stammered, as I was lifted into the air by the same purple glow. "Are you okay?" asked a voice. I looked up to see a purple alicorn, and then fainted on the spot.
Starlight and the DoorWhen Starlight Glimmer became Princess Twilight's student, she moved into her castle. Twilight told her that she could go in every room, except for any marked with a light green X. Starlight had searched the castle from top to bottom, but only found one door with a light green X. After so examinations and eavesdropping, she had discovered that Twilight had the door marked for almost the same amount of time she'd had the castle. Starlight, overcome with curiosity, managed to figure out that somepony was going into the room on Friday around midnight. Starlight had everything planned. She would cast a 30 minute invisibility spell, and then glide (or run) into the room when the door was opened. At 11:40 pm, she snuck into position, and cast the spell. Barely ten minutes later, she heard a pony's hoofsteps. Starlight looked to see Fluttershy walking down the hall towards the door. ' Fluttershy? ' she thought, ' What in Equestria is she doing here? ' Fluttershy opened the door nice and wide. Too easy. Starlight slipped into the room easily and looked around. It was a small room with several strange items in it. There were tubes and piles filled with oats and water that lead to a small bed. Fluttershy walked up to the bed and pulled back the covers. To Starlight's utter shock, there was a small, light green filly with a navy blue mane lying on the bed. The tubes and piles led to the filly. Fluttershy nudged the filly, paused, and then left the room. Starlight was very confused, ' Why is there is a filly in here? ' she wondered, ' And why hasn't Twilight told me about her? ' The filly gave a sudden gasp and started breathing rapidly. Panicked, Starlight ran up to her and cast a spell to hopefully stop whatever was causing the rapid breathing. The filly's red eyes snapped open, and an alarm sounded through the castle. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Twilight awoke when the alarm sounded. ' What in Equestria is that racket? ' she thought, then it hit her, ' Oh! It's the alarm I set in case the filly woke up! Wait... That means that the filly is awake! ' Twilight lept from her bed and dashed towards the door she had marked around a year ago. She burst into the room, and to her shock, saw Starlight calming down the filly. "Starlight!?! What are you doing in here? I told you that you couldn't come in!" "I got curious!" she said as Twilight silenced the alarm, "Twilight, why is this filly in here?" "I'll tell you as soon as I get the others, they need to know that the filly's awake!" Twilight flew from the room, and left Starlight with the filly. "Are you okay?" Starlight asked the filly. The filly lay there in silence for a while, then asked, "Where am I?" "You're in Princess Twilight Sparkle's castle, don't you know? Do you live here or something?" "Live here? The last thing I remember was being in poison joke and nearly getting eaten by Timberwolves..." "Poison joke? Is that why your hooves are stuck to each other?" The filly looked down at her hooves, surprised, "Nopony has given me a cure for this yet? Well, it's only been a day or so-" "It hasn't been a day." said Twilight, she was back with her five other pony friends and Spike, "You've been in a coma for almost a year." "A year?" "It's okay, Flitternet." said Fluttershy, "I know this is scary for you." "Who's Flitternet?" "You are!" said Pinkie Pie, "You had a small band in your mane that said 'Property of Flitternet', so we assumed that it was your name!" "Pretty cool name!" said Rainbow Dash. "It is your name, right darling?" asked Rarity. "I think so..." "What do you mean that you think so?" questioned Applejack, "Did you forget some things?" "What can you last remember?" asked Twilight "I told Starlight that the last thing I remember was falling in poison joke and nearly being eaten by Timberwolves." "Oh, is that why your hooves are stuck together?" piped up a voice that didn't belong to anypony in the room. The ponies turned to see that the CMC were standing in the doorway. "What are you three doing here?" asked Twilight. "Weeeeeeeeeeell..." said Sweetie Belle, "we had been walking around Ponyville, helping ponies-" "An' then," said Applebloom, "we heard a noise from Twilight's castle an' decided to investigate-" "We jumped in through the window that used to be here," said Scootaloo, "and saw Flitternet lying in here!" "So when we saw everypony running here and mumblin' 'Flitternet', we just had to come an' see what was goin' on!" finished Applebloom. Everypony in the room besides the CMC and Flitternet rolled their eyes. "Aaah!" yelled Flitternet suddenly. All the ponies in room turned towards her and saw that her wings were flapping uncontrollably. "Make them stop!" she said, scared. Starlight quickly made her wings stop flapping and asked, "Where are you from?" Flitternet paused, and said, "I'm from another world." "Another world?" asked Rarity, "What do you mean?" "I'm... I'm..." "You're what?" asked Rainbow Dash. "I'm not a pony!" There was a silence after these words. "What do you mean?" asked Fluttershy, "You're a pegasus." "I was a human." "A human?" asked Applejack, "What in tarnation is a human?" "It's like what we'd turn into in we went through Twilight's mirror to where Sunset Shimmer is!" said Pinkie. Being Pinkie, nopony asked how she knew that. "I don't think that's where I'm from..." said Flitternet, "Wait, how long have I been here?" "A year." said Twilight. With that, Flitternet fainted again, just like she did one year ago.
Flitternet's CrushIt had been a week since I had woken from my coma. I spent most of my time trying to remember more details about when I was a human, but couldn't remember anything before the Timberwolf incident. Applejack had gone to get a poison joke cure from Zecora, but she hadn't been home, so my hooves were still stuck together. Fortunately, Starlight was very clever and magicked up some "wheel-boots" (as she called them) for me. The "wheel-boots" were boots that fit over my hooves with wheels on the bottom of them. If I flapped my wings (which seemed to be acting like Scootaloo's wings after they had been flapping randomly) I would go forward, and I tilted to steer. When I wasn't trying to remember details about my past, I hung out with the CMC. They were really fun and seemed to have forgotten that I was a human, so they were always asking me about activities I was good at so they could help me gain my cutie mark. I especially liked Applebloom. She was always so nice and was really pretty. Everything was going pretty smoothly for me, considering the circumstances. Twilight had been sending letters to Princess Celestia and Princess Luna to see if they knew of any spells that could help. I was currently living with Applejack, as she had offered to take care of me. I tried to help with the applebucking, but I couldn't really kick trees when standing on wheels. I was going over to the clubhouse when I bumped into Rarity. "Oops, sorry Rarity!" "No, it's fine darling! In fact, I was hoping that I would see you!" "What?" "I wanted to make a lovely outfit! Free of charge!" "Well, okay." "Wonderful!" said Rarity as she pushed me into Carousel Boutique, "Now, what sort of things interest you, darling?" "Well... I like helping out on Sweet Apple Acres, hanging out with the CMC, playing with Applebloom, looking at how pretty she is-" I quickly stopped and blushed. "Well," said Rarity, "I have the perfect outfit for you!" She ran over to a drawer and pulled out a ribbon similar to Applebloom's, except in dark green. She quickly put it on me, "Do you like it, darling?" "Yeah..." I mumbled, thinking of Applebloom, "Reminds me of Applebloom. Her spunk, her looks, how determined she is..." "Oh, that is just adorable!" said Rarity. "What, the bow?" "No, no, dearie. Though the bow does look very nice on you... You have a crush on Applebloom!" "I what?!?" "You have a crush on her! Oh, that's just so cute! You should ask her out on a date!" "A date! How am I supposed to know what to do on a date?" "I can tell you just what to do, darling. Now you should go to Applebloom and ask her out!" "I guess.." I was rolling to the clubhouse, hoping that Applebloom wasn't there. Did I have a crush on Applebloom? No! Or course not! I just liked how cute she was, how nice she was, what an amazing filly she was... It hit me: I did have a crush on Applebloom! ' Of course, ' I thought, ' I'm living in a FanFic, so of course I've fallen in love! ' I walked into the clubhouse and saw Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo. "Hey there Flitter!" said Scootaloo, "We're just waiting for Applebloom to show up!" "Is something wrong?" asked Sweetie, "You look really nervous!" It just burst out of my mouth: "I have a crush on Applebloom!" For a minute, Sweetie and Scootaloo just stared at me. "You should ask her out on a date!" they said at the same time. "Really? You think so?" "Yeah!" said Sweetie, "If you really like her, you should totally ask her out!" "I guess so..." "Hi y'all!" said Applebloom as she walked into the clubhouse, "Did I miss anything important yet?" "No," said Scootaloo, "But Flitter wants to ask you something!" she pushed me towards Applebloom. "What did ya' wanna' ask me?" I was silent for a minute, scared, then I just asked, "I like you and want to go out on a date with you! Would you go out on a date with me?" I turned pink because I was blushing so hard. Applebloom blushed even harder than me, "You like me?" I nodded. "Well... I like ya' too!" Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo looked like they were about to faint. "You like me?" She nodded. "So you'll go out on a date with me?" "Yeah... Do ya want me to pick the place we go to, 'cause you don't quite know your way 'round here yet?" "That'd be nice..." "We knew it!" yelled Sweetie and Scootaloo. "We knew that you two liked each other!" Applebloom and I were blushing really hard. "How 'bout tomorrow 'round six? I'll meet you at the barn." "Sure thing." I rolled out of the clubhouse, too excited to stay. I needed to go to Rarity quick! I had no idea what to do on a date!
Somewhere Else in EquestriaLocation: Classified Date: Classified Meeting Code: 6-12-9-20-20-5-18-14-5-20 "Agent 19-14-5-1-11-8-15-15-6, what have you found out about that filly?' Agent Sneakhoof pulled out his report and read it aloud to his commanding officer, "The filly, also known as 6-12-9-20-20-5-18-14-5-20, woke up from her coma one week ago. She is currently is Ponyville living on Sweet Apple Acres." "What would be the risk of trying to obtain her now?" "According to my numbers, very risky. She is under the eyes of the bearers to the Elements of Harmony, one being an alicorn, along with the royal sisters." "So you're saying that we should strike soon?" "What? No, that's what I'm saying whatsoever!" "Agent 19-14-5-1-11-8-15-15-6, you really need to relax." "Sir, shouldn't we call each other by something other than numbers? It's not really efficient." "Why, course it's inefficient, but so is everything else we do." Agent Sneakhoof stood there, and then flew into the air, back to his post in Ponyville. Princess Celestia had been getting many letters from Twilight Sparkle. They were about a young filly who had been in a coma for a year, had woken up recently, and was claiming that she used to be a human. She wasn't very convinced about the pony's claim of her being a human, but she was concerned about the filly's coma and memory loss. "Luna, could you come here?" "What is it sister?" "I need you to go to Ponyville and check on a young filly by the name of Flitternet." "Okay, what does she look like?" "According to Princess Twilight's letters, she's light green, has a navy blue mane, and red eyes." "What exactly do you want me to check?" "The filly was in coma, has suffered memory loss, and believes that she used to be a human. I want you to check if she;s right in her mind." "Really?" Luna seemed angry at the request. "What it is?" "Just because the filly, er, Flitternet, said something unrealistic or unreasonable, you think that she not in her mind?" "Um, no! It's just because she was in a coma!" "You're lying." "Fine!" Celestia was pretty annoyed, "I want you to check on the filly because she said something unrealistic or unreasonable that may mean that she's not right in her mind because of the coma she was in!" "Maybe I will check on Flitternet, and maybe I won't!" snapped Luna, and she took off towards her room. Celestia returned to her work, because she knew that Luna was going to check. "Where is she?" the mare shouted and shook the stallion, "WHERE IS SHE?" "I- don't- know!" he cried out. "You're lying! I know you are! WHERE IS SHE?" the mare was furious. "I- don't- know- who- you're- talking- about!" "You know perfectly well who I'm talking about! I'll ask you once more, WHERE IS SHE?" "The forest!" yelled the stallion, "The Everfree Forest!" "She's where?" the mare looked terrifying. "The Everfree Forest! That's where she was tracked to!" The mare froze for a minute and then dropped the stallion. She kicked him over to a thick, metal pole, where he hit his head and passed out. "It's taken me a whole year you cough this information up..." she muttered to herself, "Just to find that she might as well be dead? No, I need to find her!" The mare headed towards the exit of the battlements. She didn't bother to step over or around any of the knocked out or otherwise injured guards and citizens. With an evil grin, she blasted the main support beam with her magic, and fled from the building. As the building began to collapse in the distance, she mutter to herself again, "I'll find her... I'll find her, and bring back King Sombra using the magic she stole..." she raised her voice to a malicious yell, "I'll find you Flitternet! You can't hide from me forever!"
Marking Up the DateI awoke late in the day. It was hard to believe that only the night before I had my date with Applebloom. "Flitter, I think that you're the greatest pony in all of Equestria." "I think that you're even better." The stars shone brighter, casting a light upon us. "Aren't the stars beautiful?" "Not as beautiful as you." "Flitter, you're makin' me blush!" We leaned close. "You know, I used to not believe in true love." "Really?" "I used to think that it was unrealistic, but now..." "Now?" "I know that it's real." Our mouths met and we kissed. It felt like all my fears and worries had been left behind. We held for almost a minute, and then released. We looked at each other with pure love. "Flitter! Flitter!" I looked up from my bed and out the window to see Spike calling for me. "Up here, Spike!" He looked up and saw me in the window. "There you are! Princess Luna is at Twilight's castle to see you!" "See me?" "Yeah!" "I'll be over in ten minutes!" My legs were still stuck, as the cure Twilight had brought from Zecora hadn't worked. She said that since the "joking" was old, I might need a more powerful cure. As I mounted my wheelies (as Pinkie had dubbed my "wheel-boots" something much more sensible) , I pondered over what Princess Luna could have been here for. At the time, I didn't know that Twilight had been sending letters to the Princesses. "Morin', Flitter!" called Applejack from the kitchen. "Morning, Applejack!" "What do you want fer breakfast?" "Don't have time, gotta head over to Twilight's, Princess Luna wants to see me for some reason." "Huh, that's odd. Well, you better head right on over, then!" "See you later Applejack!" "Later, Flitter!" I rolled over to Twilight's castle at full speed and made in there in just under four minutes. To my surprise, Twilight was waiting outside with Luna. "Flitter, so glad you could come so quickly!" said Twilight. "Um, why are you wearing skates?" asked Luna. "Poison joke." I said, before explaining the full story to her. "Ah, I see. But that's not why I'm here." "Why are you here?" "Twilight Sparkle has been sending my sister and I letters, and I came to check on you upon my sister's request." "What does she want you to check?" "She wanted me to check and make sure that you weren't crazy." Luna seemed very angry. "Crazy? Flitter's not crazy!" said Twilight. "Yeah, I'm not!" "I can tell that you're not crazy in the slightest, however, my sister was concerned that you might be." Luna was furious by this point, "She seems to think that saying something unrealistic or unreasonable means that you're crazy!" "That's awful..." said Twilight, "But now you can go back to Princess Celestia and tell her that Flitter's not crazy!" "I am going back to my sister right this minute to tell her." Luna muttered something under her breath as she flew off, "Crazy my hoof..." "Is that all?" "Yes, I was expecting Princess Luna to be here longer, but you can go back to whateve-" "Hey, Flitter!" interrupted Starlight, "I made you something! Why don't you come in and try it on?" "Sure?" I rolled into the castle and followed Starlight. "I know that you've been using those wheelies because you can't get your hooves apart, so I made you something new!" She magicked over a small skateboard with special hoof straps. "Here, let me help you try it on!" Soon, I was mounted on the skateboard. It was navy blue with light green wheels. "Thanks, Starlight! It looks amazing!" "No problem! I just figured that you deserved something to make you happy, you know, after the whole coma-human thing." she smiled, "Now, do you want to try it out?" "Heck yeah!" I skimmed to the door of the castle and prepared to take off. "Hey, Flitter!" called Scootaloo, as she and the other CMC noticed me. "What'cha got there?" asked Sweetie Belle. "It's a skateboard! Starlight custom made it for me." "It looks pretty awesome!" said Applebloom, then leaned closer to me and lowered her voice, "But not as awesome as you..." I blushed with embarrassment. "So, why don't you try it out?" asked Scootaloo, "If you want, I could show you how to do some tricks, 'cause a skateboard is like a scooter!" "Yeah! Come on, Flitter! Give it a whirl!" "Sure thing! Anypony want to give me a push for extra speed?" Applebloom obliged and walked behind me to give me a push. "Three!" yelled Applebloom, "Two! One! Go!" She gave me a hard push and I buzzed my wings at top speed. I was zooming across Ponyville with perfect ease. I could move in any direction with a little flick of my wings. I aimed towards a wooden board that was propped up like a jump (that was either a hazard or complete luck). I was flying through the air over everything below. I closed my eyes to prevent stinging from the air that was rushing past me. "What in Equestria is that?" I heard a voice cry out. I opened my eyes to see that I had just zipped past Rainbow Dash at top speed. "Hey, Dash!" I yelled as landed. "What th-?!?" I completed a sharp u-turn and zipped back to the castle. "How was that?!?" I asked, excitedly. The four of them were in a stunned silence. "What?" "That. Was. Awesome!" yelled Scootaloo. "You didn't even look like you had to try!" shouted Sweetie Belle. "You looked like a natural!" said Starlight. I looked at Applebloom, who was still staring in awe. "What did you think?" I asked her. "I think," she said, "That you just got you're cutie mark!" I turned to look at my flank and saw a skateboarding cutie mark with flames coming from the wheels. "Awesome!" I yelled in unison with the CMC and Starlight. "Hey, guys!" yelled Rainbow Dash as she flew over, "Can somepony explain to me what happened?" "Serves you right for not telling me sooner..." mumbled the mare. She casually threw the pony over her shoulder, and calmly started wiping the blood off her hooves. ' How are thingssss going? ' ' Fine, my King. ' the mare thought back, ' I located the filly's current location. ' ' Where issss sssshe? ' ' Ponyville. It might be difficult to obtain her. ' ' Do not be foolissssh or arrogant. Do thingssss right sssso we can accomplissssh our goal... ' ' Yes, my King. ' "How hard is it to give up information on a stupid filly?" she growled, "Next time, I'm just going to attack them until they cough up the information, hopefully before they cough up some blood!" So the filly was talented at skateboarding. Agent Sneakhoof noted that on his report. ' Cutie marks are getting stranger every day... ' he thought. He shoved the report into his bag and started back to his post. "Hello, who are you?" asked a voice. The Agent turned around to see Princess Luna standing behind him. "Hello, Princess Luna," he said before bowing, "My name is Agent Sneakhoof." "Agent Sneakhoof? Should I recognize that name?" The agent pulled out his ID card and showed it to the Princess. "Let's see... Special Agent Sneakhoof... Pegasus... Double agent?" "I'm a double agent for the Canterlot Protection Agency, I pretend to work for criminals and return the information back to the Agency." "Yes... That Agency should familiar... What are you doing right now?" "I'm keeping an eye on the young human-filly known as Flitternet." "Why?" "The criminal I'm pretending to work for at the moment wants her for her magic." "Her magic? Her human magic?" "Yes, ma'am. I wasn't aware that you were involved as well." Luna paused, and appeared to be thinking for a minute, "Can you send me your reports?" "Yes, ma'am. I can send you one every week." "Thank you, however, do not tell my sister about these reports, okay?" "I- I guess so." "Thank you, er, Sneakhoof was it?" "Yes, your highness." With a smile on her ace, Princess Luna flew towards Canterlot. Agent Sneakhoof pulled his second report back out. What was he going to lie about to Commander Shadow this time?
To Cloudstale!"Applejack! Applejack!!!" "What is it Flitter?" called Applejack form the orchard, "Somethin' up?" "Look!" I turned to show Applejack my cutie mark, it was glowing and flashing, "What does it mean?" Before Applejack could reply, there came another yell. "Applejack! Mah cutie mark is glowin' and flashin'! What does it mean!" yelled Applebloom as she ran over. "I think it's the map in Twilight's castle calling ya somewhere." "Oh, yeah! I remember seeing you'er blink before!" said Applebloom, "Come on, Flitter! Let's hurry to Twilight's castle!" "Sure thing!" I said, "Do you have a wagon or something you could tie to my skateboard?" After attaching the wagon (like the wagon on Scootaloo's scooter), we were off to Twilight's castle. "Hey you guys!" yelled Scootaloo as she came out of nowhere, pulling Sweetie Belle in a wagon, "You too?" "Yeah!" we yelled back. "Hey, Scootaloo!" I called to her. "What?" "Ran ya to the castle!" "Guys, I don't that's the best idea!" yelled Applebloom and Sweetie. We accelerated to top speed and went flying towards Twilight's castle. We basically flew into the room with the map and came to a perfect stop. Sweetie Belle and Applebloom ended up going flying out of the back wagons and crashed into Twilight. "Sorry!" said Scootaloo and I. "It's fine, it's fine..." said Twilight, "What are you four doing here?" "Didn't you look at your map?" asked Applebloom. Twilight turned and saw five (yes, five) cutie marks circling around Cloudstale. "Oh! I didn't notice. Let's see, we have the cutie marks for you three..." she pointed at the CMC. "The skateboard one is mine." I piped up. "Okay, then that one's yours, and there's also-" "Hey, Twilight! Is the map calling for me?" called Starlight as she ran in, "My cutie mark is glowing and flashing!" "It is! And these four as well." said said, gesturing to the four of us. "Ooh! Where are we going?" "Looks like Cloudstale!" said Twilight. "Cloudstale?" asked Sweetie, "How are supposed to go to Cloudstale?" she pointed at herself and Applebloom. "It's a simple spell," said Twilight, "That can make it so you can walk on clouds!" "Cool!" said Applebloom. "I can already walk on clouds..." mumbled Starlight, embarrassed. "Hey, I have another idea!" said Scootaloo, "Rainbow told me about the spell you cast on Rarity that gave her wings, why not give them those?" "It's really difficult to do the spell, I really doubt that I could do it for both!" said Twilight. "I could cast the spell on Applebloom and you could cast it on Sweetie Belle!" suggested Starlight, "It would be much safer if they could fly and walk on clouds, so we wouldn't have to worry about them falling!" "Well..." started Twilight. The four of us gave Twilight sad faces. "Fine." she sighed. Twilight and Starlight faced towards Applebloom and Sweetie Belle. In a flash of light, they each had butterfly wings! "Awesome!" the four of us yelled. "Well that was pretty strenuous..." mumbled Twilight. "I see why you can only do it for one pony at a time!" said Starlight, "Come on! Let's go solve whatever friendship problem is occurring in Cloudstale!" "Wait!" I said, "We still need to bring a balloon carrier!" "Oh yeah! Sorry!" said Starlight, who had forgotten that neither Scootaloo nor I could fly. "It's okay!" said Scootaloo, who was so excited that she didn't even care. "Whoa! This place is cooler than cool!" said Sweetie Belle. "It all made of clouds? How is that possible?" wondered Applebloom. "Is this the place that Rainbow Dash did her Sonic Rainboom?" asked Scootaloo excitedly. "Yeah!" said Starlight. I just stared in awe. I'd nearly forgotten that I'd never seen anything like this before. Cloudstale was amazing! "Let's see if we can find a friendship problem!" said Starlight. We wandered around, taking in the sights. There were so many different pegasi doing so many different things that it was hard to keep track of what was going on. We ended up walking towards the weather factory. "Is it wrong that I feel really nervous?" I asked as Starlight helped me put on the safety uniform for the factory. "I don't think that you have anything to worry about!" she responded. Just as we were about to go in, we heard someone yell. "Hey, you four!" We turned to see a pegasus flying towards us. "You can't go into the factory with a skateboard!" It had become so normal for me to be on wheels that I had forgotten that I was on it! "Oh, sorry! I forgot that I was on it!" I said, "Are you sure I can't stay on my board? I need it to move around." "Sorry, kid. But no wheels or excessive flying or anything like that around here," he said, "Last time we had a pony on wheels in here, they nearly destroyed all of the snowflakes! You can put your board in a locker, though." He let me pick and locker (that was sealed with a magic lock) to put my skateboard in. "Well then" I said, "Guess that someone needs to carry me." "I'll carry you!" volunteered Applebloom. "Are you sure?" asked Starlight, "I could just levitate Flitter!" "No," I said with a slight blush, "It's fine Starlight." "Yeah!" said Applebloom, "It's fine!" Starlight levitated me on to Applebloom's back while Scootaloo and Sweetie belle made kissy-faces at us. "If you need me too, just ask!" said Starlight. As soon as she turned around, I gave Applebloom a quick peck on the cheek. We walked into the weather factory and looked around. (Why did I have a bad feeling about this place?) There were ponies making clouds, snowflakes, raindrops, and - lightning bolts? "I wanna see where they make the rainbows!" said Sweetie Belle. "That's a great idea!" said Starlight, "Let's ask somepony where they make them." Starlight walked over to a nearby worker and started to ask him where the rainbows were made. "Hey, guys! Look at this really co-" said Sweetie Belle, but cut off abruptly. "What were you saying, Sweetie?" asked Scootaloo as she turned around to see where Sweetie Belle was pointing. Sweetie Belle wasn't there. "Sweetie?" I called, "Where did you go?" When we got no reply, Applebloom called, "Sweetie Belle? Where are you?" "What's wrong?" asked Starlight. "We don't know where Sweetie went!" said Scootaloo. "Okay, no need to panic. Let's just ask if anypony saw her." We asked as many ponies as we could if they had seen a white unicorn with butterfly wings. Nopony had. "Where could she have gone?" I asked, panicked. "I don't know!" said Starlight. "Wait, has anypony seen Scootaloo?" asked Applebloom. We looked around and saw that Scootaloo was missing too! "This is not good!" said Starlight, "How could we lose two fillies just like that?" "Maybe they went to see the rainbows?" I suggested. "Yeah!" said Applebloom, "Let's check there!" Applebloom saw a sign that said Rainbows -> on it and followed it. "Sweetie Belle? Scootaloo? Are you here?" I called out as soon as we got there. There was no reply. "Oh no!" said Applebloom. "What is it?" "Where's Starlight?!? She was right behind us!" Now Starlight was gone too?!? "This is bad!" I said, "Where did our friends go?" "Alright, we gotta find somepony to help us!" said Applebloom. She started running back the way we came. We made it to the locker I had stored by board in and grabbed it out. After some minor complications, Applebloom helped me mount my skateboard and we were out of the factory. "Where are we going?" I asked as we left the factory. "Applejack told me that Rainbow Dash had practice with the Wonderbolts in Cloudstale today, so we're goin' to see if she can help!" "You couldn't find them anywhere?" asked Rainbow Dash. "We didn't see or hear any of them!" I said to Rainbow. "Do you think that you could help out?" "Definitely!" Rainbow said, "But first I need to tell the others why I have to miss practice." She flew out of the locker room we were in towards the training area. "Where do you think they are?" asked Applebloom. "I don't know!" I said, "But we'll find them!" We waited for several more minutes. "Rainbow sure is taking her time..." said Applebloom nervously. Suddenly, Soarin' walked into the locker room. "Have you guys seen Rainbow Dash? She's late for practice!" he said. "Wait, you don't know where she is?" I asked. "No, do you guys know where she is?" "She was gonna help us find some of our friends who went missin', but now Rainbow's missin' too!" said Applebloom. "Missing?" said Soarin', he sounded really concerned, "That's not a good sign..." "Soarin'!" called a voice, "Have you found out where Rainbow Dash is?" Spitfire walked in to the locker room. "She's missing!" said all three of us. "Missing?" asked Spitfire, "That's not a good sign..." "That's what I said!" said Soarin'. "Soarin' you get the rest of the team and have them start looking!" Soarin' saluted and flew off towards the field. Spitfire looked worried as she followed him. "This is bad!" said Applebloom, "First Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo and Starlight, but now Rainbow Dash?!?" "We'd better go to Twilight!" I said, "She'll know what to do!" We hurried out of the building and zoomed towards our balloon carrier. "Oh no!" said Applebloom as we arrived. Our balloon carrier was completely deflated. It had a huge tear in the side of it and the basket was missing. "How are we supposed to get to Ponyville now?" said Applebloom. I paused to think, then the only idea came into my head, "Applebloom," I said, "I can't fly, but you can." "You mean I need to fly down to Ponyville while carrying you? But I've never flown!" "Don't worry! You can just glide!" I said. "Are you sure?" she asked. I gave Applebloom a kiss on the cheek, "I trust you." Soon, I was on Applebloom's back. My skateboard was in a bag we had made form the wreaked balloon carrier. "Alright, you just need to spread out your wings and lightly step off the clouds." I said, "You can do this!" "I guess so..." said Applebloom. She walked near the edge of the clouds we were standing on. Applebloom spread out her butterfly wings and started walking towards the edge of the clouds. Before she could properly step off, we were hit by something behind us that knocked us off the clouds! "Aaaaaaaah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" yelled Applebloom. "Applebloom!" I yelled, "Spread out your wings!" Applebloom managed to spread her wings out. "I'm doin' it! I'm doin' it! I'm-" But Applebloom stopped as I slipped off her back, and fell down. "Aaaaaaaaah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I screamed, "Somepony help me!"
Injuries and MysteriesAgent Sneakhoof had been looking for the four missing ponies for quite some time now. ' How could all of those ponies just go missing like that? From right under my teeth, too. ' He pulled out his paper to double check what ponies he was looking for: Rainbow Dash, Starlight Glimmer, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle. No need to ask how fast he had obtained that information so quickly. "HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!" he heard from below. The Agent put away his paper and listened for where the sound was coming from. He saw a filly with magical butterfly wings gliding down, horror-struck as she watched a filly falling - "Oh buck!" he said before diving. He couldn't dive as fast as a certain rainbow pony, but he was a trained professional. "Flitter!" yelled the yellow filly. The Agent recognized her from his files. Her name was Applebloom and was closely associated with Flitternet. But that didn't matter right now. "Aaaaaah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" yelled Flitternet as she approached the ground, that wouldn't do at all. Sneakhoof reached into his bag and pulled out one of the mini airbags, he didn't like having to work in the air so quickly. He quickly flung the airbag past Flitternet so it would hit the ground before she did. CRACK! The sound of Flitter's bones breaking sounded louder than the Agent would normally expect from things breaking. Flitternet had managed to land on the inflated airbag, but it didn't break her fall completely. "Flitter!" cried Applebloom as she landed and her wings vanished, "Did you catch her?" Though Sneakhoof wanted to stay and tell the filly that Flitternet would be fine, he couldn't risk breaking his cover. Instead, he dropped a note and took off into the sky. "Twilight! Twilight!!!" came a voice from outside the castle. Twilight looked up to see where the shout was coming from. "Twilight!!!!!" whoever was calling sounded panicked. Twilight put down her book and teleported outside. "Twilight!" it was Applebloom, "I need your help!" Twilight turned and saw Applebloom pushing Flitternet who was lying on her skateboard. "What in Equestria?" asked Twilight as she ran up to Flitter. The filly looked like she had broken her front hooves, sprained her back ones, and had a huge bruise over her right eye. Her left eye was closed and covered in blood. There was also some blood dripping out of her mouth. "What happened? And where's Starlight? And Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle?" she said in a panic. Applebloom opened her mouth to speak and fainted. "So she came back with Flitter an' just fainted?" asked Applejack. "Yes," said Twilight, "And I can't blame her. Flitter looked like she had taken serious damage, and I don't know where Starlight, Scootaloo or Sweetie Belle are! And I heard that Rainbow Dash is missing, too. All of them were in Cloudstale." One of the doors in the hospital waiting room opened. "Applebloom woke up, you can come and see her now." "Thank you, Nurse Healatha." said Applejack before trotting past her in a hurry to see her sister. "How's Flitter?" asked Twilight. "Well," said Nurse Healatha in a sad voice, "she broke her front hooves, fractured her back left hoof, sprained her right back hoof, bruised her right eye, smashed her left eye quite a bit, and knocked out nine teeth along with breaking her jaw." "Will she be okay?" "Doctor Silverhay is fixing her up right now. He even managed to get that old poison joke off her back hooves." she said with a slightly happier voice, "If you want to, you can visit Applebloom." Twilight walked past Nurse Healatha and into the room where Applebloom was. She saw Applejack wiping blood (from Flitternet) off of Applebloom. "Applebloom, are you alright?" asked Twilight. "Yeah, I'm fine..." she mumbled. "I was jus t wondering," said Twilight, trying to mask her panic, "Where are the others?" "The others?... " mumbled Applebloom. "Yes, Starlight and Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo, where are they?" Applebloom suddenly sat straight up, "They're missing! So is Rainbow Dash! We were trying to find you! But I was pushed off the clouds! And I managed to start gliding, but Flitter fell off! And then a pegasus flew by me and saved her from dying, but then he left, so I came to see you, Twilight!" There was as stunned silence after these words. "So let me get this straight," said Applejack, "You, Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle, and Flitternet were in Cloudstale. They all went missin' along with Rainbow Dash, and you were goin' to tell Twilight, but couldn't get back on to Ponyville. Then you were shoved off a cloud and some pegasus saved Flitter's life?" "Yeah..." mumbled Applebloom as she fell asleep. Twilight and Applejack both went back to the waiting room, where Rarity was waiting. "Have either of you seen Sweetie Belle?" she asked. Twilight explained what she knew of the story to Rarity. "How is Flitter?" she asked. Before Twilight could respond, the door to the Emergency Care room opened. "Excuse me," said the Nurse, "But the young pegasus filly keeps saying that she needs to see you Ms. Twilight Sparkle. She woke up just as Doc Silverhay finished fixing her up." "Oh! Maybe she knows where the others are!" said Twilight, "I'm going to go check on her." Twilight walked towards a room with a large red cross on it. "Just make sure you keep your voice low, she's not looking so good and we don't think that loud noises will help her at all." "Sure thing." said Twilight before entering the Emergency Care room. Flitter was lying down in a bed. Her hooves were all wrapped in bandages along with having splits on them. Her left eye had a patch over it and her right eye had a cooling spell over it to keep the swelling down. Her jaw was being held in place with a metal contraption. Twilight could see that her teeth were already back in. "Flitter, are you alright?" whispered Twilight. "Yeah, I'h ohkah." she mumbled. "Here," said Twilight, she quickly cast a spell that would allow Flitter to talk, but not move her jaw. "Thanks, Twilight." she mumbled, "Can you do anything for all my aches?" she joked. "What happened? We got most of the story from Applebloom, but I wanted to hear what you saw happening." "Well," mumbled Flitter, a little louder this time, "We had gone to the weather factory..." she slowly and quietly spilled out the story of what had happened. Unlike Applebloom, Flitter had told Twilight what happened in a very calm way. "Is that all?" asked Twilight. "Yeah. Did you know that skateboards aren't allowed in the weather factory?" "What?" "A pegasus total me that I had to but my skateboard away in a locker while we were in the factory." "Can I see your skateboard?" "It's under the bed." Twilight examined the board to see if there was anything different about it. "I need to analyze this just in case." "Kay..." Flitter closed her eye and fell asleep. It had been four whole days, and Twilight still didn't know the whereabouts of Starlight, Rainbow, Scootaloo, or Sweetie. She had added some protective measures to her other friend's houses. However, the pony that she protected the most was Flitter. She was released from the hospital in only two days (somehow) with braces on all her legs and an eye patch over her left eye. Twilight had made he stay in the castle with her and applied a cooling spell on her right eye until the swelling went down. The doctor had managed to "dejoke" her back hooves, but not her front ones. Twilight had given her small skates to wear on her front hooves for the moment, as she was still analyzing her skateboard. She let Flitter outside to get some fresh air at least twice a day, but with a force field around her every time for safety. She assigned Spike to keeping a watch on her while she wrote letter after letter to the Princesses. Rarity had been helping out Twilight. She looked very worried every time she came over and looked like she had been losing sleep. Twilight could blame her, as her sister was missing. On the sixth day after the ponies went missing, Spike and Flitter came running into the library where Rarity and Twilight were. "Guys! Guys!" yelled Flitter. "What is it, dearie?" asked Rarity "We saw a Changeling!" piped up Spike. "A Changeling?" said Twilight, "That can't be good. I read a book that said Changelings never travel without their leader, where were they?" The four of them quickly hurried towards the Everfree Forest, where Flitter and Spike had noticed the Changeling. "Look!" whispered Spike. It was indeed a Changeling, but it looked different from all the other ones that Twilight and her friends had fought. This one was more of a blue than black, had smaller fangs, and looked much kinder. Not one for taking risks, Twilight looked around for unfamiliar ponies or Changelings. There were none in sight. "I don't see any other Changelings..." whispered Twilight. "What should we do?" asked Rarity. "Let me think for a minute. What is it Spike?" asked Twilight, because Spike had been pulling on her mane. Silently, Spike pointed back at the Changeling, whom Flitter was causally approaching. "Flitter!" whispered Twilight as loud as she could without the Changeling hearing, "Get back here!" "Excuse me," said Flitter. The Changeling turned around with a puzzled look. "I was just wondering who you were." she said calmly. The Changeling cocked her head, and opened her mouth. ' No! ' thought Twilight, too scared to do anything, ' It's going to bite her and hurt her more! ' "You can talk, right?" asked Flitter. "Yes, I can talk." the Changeling said is a normal voice, "My name is Crissy. Who might you be little filly?" "I'm Flitternet, and I just remembered that I'm living in a FanFic."
Living in a FanFicWhen I opened my eyes, I was living in a FanFic. I knew that I was, because I was lying in the Everfree Forest. Oh, and I also had light green hooves instead of hands. I managed to stand up and walked clumsily over to a nearby river. I looked down at my reflection to see a long mane of navy blue and kind, red eyes. I didn't see a horn, so I looked to see if I was a pegasus or an Earth pony. The small wings, around the size of Scootaloo's, confirmed that I was a pegasus. Noticing my small size, I turned around and saw that I had no cutie mark. I then deduced that I was a filly, and tried to remember my true age. I had read enough fan fictions to know the outline of what was going to happen, so I was remarkably calm. I practiced walking on four hooves and moving my new limbs. I managed to flick my wings out perfectly flat so I could have better balance while walking. I had no idea where to go, so I chose a direction and just started walking. I wasn't quite sure how long I had been walking for, and I didn't see any signs of life. No signs of life in the Everfree Forest? Something was wrong. I paused near a tree to look around, and noticed a tree that looked different from the others. On a closer examination, it revealed to be Zecora's hut. Without hesitation, and trotted right up to the door and knocked. There was no reply. "Hello? Anypony home?" I asked, speaking for the first time. There was still no reply. I gave up and started walking in another direction. Eventually it looked like I was heading the right way. It seemed more friendly, with more sunlight, more plants, pretty blue flowers... ' Uh oh! ' I though, ' I'm walking in a patch of poison joke! ' In a panic, I tried to run out, but tripped over my own hooves. I tried to stand up, but couldn't for some reason. I looked at my hooves, and saw that the poison joke had "joked" me by sticking my front hooves to each other, along with sticking my back hooves to each other. ' Great. ' I thought, ' How am I going to get out of here? It's hard enough to walk on four hooves, but now they're stuck together! ' "Help!" I called, "Can somepony help!" I heard a loud growl, and saw glowing eyes around me. A noxious odor filled the air. I was petrified as the Timberwolves surrounded me. "Help!" I yelled, "Help! I'm surrounded by Timberwolves and can't move!" I struggled to stand as the Timberwolves came closer, almost taunting me over the fact that I was stuck. I managed to shift into a standing position, but could walk or run. "HELP!" I cried as one of the Timberwolves pounced at me. Suddenly, I was surrounded by a purple force field, conjured out of nowhere. "Wha-?" I stammered, as I was lifted into the air by the same purple glow. "Are you okay?" asked a voice. I looked up to see a purple alicorn, and then fainted on the spot.
