"Hahahaha!" Rainbow Dash laughed. "Your expression was priceless!" Celestia was chuckling.

"It was funny," she said. "But next April Fools Day, if you're going to hang my underwear on the flag pole, make sure Luna's is there too."

"Ok, but when I do, I'm saying you told me to," Rainbow Dash said. Celestia chuckled and thought What have I done? As Rainbow Dash left Celestia's office, her phone rang. She picked it up and looked at the caller I.D.

Oh boy, what has he done now? she thought as she accepted the call.

"Yes?" she asked.

"He's managed to escape," the guy on the other side said. Celstia burst out laughing.

"Ok, Buddy, considering that today is your first April Fools day on the job, I'll let it pass. But never joke about that again," Celestia said.

"I'm serious about that," Buddy said. "He's actually managed to escape."

"Sure he has," Celestia said.

Hidden Darkness was finally above ground and out of his asylum. He was staring at a brown skinned, dirty man sitting on a bench feeding squirrels. The guy looked up and glanced at him.

"Can I help you?" he asked.

"No. There are people I must find for revenge," Hidden Darkness said thru his allergy mask.

"Oh," the other guy said. "Um, good luck with that." Hidden Darkness started to turn around, but stopped.

"Would you happen to now where an available house is?" he asked. The guy shock his head.

"Sorry," he said.

"How about somewhere to get sunglasses?" Hidden Darkness asked. The guy shrugged.

"Probably a store," he said. "Why?"

"That's not important right now, Hidden Darkness said.

That night, Hidden Darkness had managed to get a house.

No one should be able to find me, I hope, he thought. Now to find Luna.

The next day, Celestia got another call from Buddy.

"Yes?" she asked.

"Would you believe me if I told you today that he escaped?" he asked. Celestia sighed.

"Probably not. I'll come over and look at the security cameras," she said.

"Told you," Buddy said. Celestia finished using the bag she was hyperventilating into.

"What do you want to do?" Buddy asked.

"We need to protect Luna, for one thing. But don't let her know that Hidden Darkness has escaped," Celestia said.

"Ok, but what about getting him back into his cell?" Buddy asked. Celestia frowned.

"I don't want to say this, but we may need to use Silent as bait." Buddy paled.

"Please tell me you're kidding," he said. Celestia shook her head.

"I wish I was," Celestia said. "But we may need to."

"You do remember that Silent is our second most dangerous patient here, right?" Buddy asked. "And he tried to mate with roughly half the female staff?" Celestia stared at him dryly.

"Yes, I remember that. He was actually successful at bedding a couple of them, myself included," she said, then grinned wishfully. "He's pretty good."

"Yeah, that's something I didn't want to know," Buddy said. "But if you're sure you want to use him as bait, then do it."

Author's Note

No, I did not miss anything. Everything will be explained in future chapters. And this was probably not the best start, but it will get better.
