[Twilight POV]

"Ugh! There's nothing in these books about that strange creature!"

I've been searching for clues about that creature 24/7 for 3 days. But I have to know whether it's a danger to society ever since it broke the rope that I tied it to with ease.

"Who is it?" I yelled still trying to find information.

"Oh I'm sorry if I was bothering you. I'll just leave."

'Oh no! I just yelled at Fluttershy!'

I ran to the door and opened it to see Fluttershy walking away. "Wait Fluttershy I'm sorry! Please come back!" Fluttershy turned around and started to come back.

"I'm sorry about that Fluttershy. I was just so focused on finding information about that creature from a couple of days ago."

"Oh Twilight look at yourself, you should take a break."

I looked at a mirror to see my mane all ruffled up. "I guess I've gone a bit too far. Anyways what brings you here?"

"That's why I came here. Angel Bunny said he saw a strange creature walking on 2 legs in the forest." I looked at Fluttershy in shock that her bunny found it before me.

"Fluttershy can you tell me everything Angel said to you?"

"Oh um alright. Angel said that he was pulled out of a hat by an unicorn. He then looked atbthe creature staring at him so he ran back to me."

'So it's still out in the forest... Maybe I can find it before the guards start looking.'

"Fluttershy I need you to get the girls and meet me at the center of town." She nodded as she walked off to Sugarcube Corner.

'Maybe now I can go and apologize for my actions.'

About 25 minutes later I went to the center of Town prepared in case it tries to harm us.

"Alright Twilight why do you want to go to the Everfree Forest?"

"You remember that strange creature from a few days ago?"

"You mean the one that you made cry as you humiliated him in front of everypony for telling a few jokes?" Rainbow Dash was still mad about humiliating it, apparently she grew quite fond of it since the first day it came. She couldn't stop staring at it for a few minutes before me and Fluttershy had to yell at her.

"Yes Rainbow Dash, thanks for reminding us for the tenth time already. Anyways I have a current lead on the creatures where abouts."

Rainbow Dash's ear perked up and she started bouncing so fast that would make Pinkie Pie jealous. "Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh!"

'Wow, she's seems more excited than the time she met the Wonderbolts'

We all looked at her before her face started to get red. "Uhh I mean oh m-my gosh were going to the Everfree Forest for some creature."

"Yes I do believe I have to agree with Rainbow Dash on that one darling. Why in Equestria would we go find that brute in the Everfree Forest?" Rainbow Dash seemed hurt by Rarity's comment but then nodded an agreement.

"Because I need to apologize to it so the creature will come out of hiding."

"Can't ya'll just teleport yerself to it."

"That's why I need you five to make sure it doesn't try anything." They still seemed unsure but agreed for the safety of Equestria if it is Evil.

As we were walking to the edge of Ponyville Rainbow Dash kept rambling about that creature.

"Hey guys! Did you see how big it was? Oh Fluttershy remember how funny it was? Hahaha it made Twilight look like a bigger egghead than she usually is."

"Alright Rainbow Dash that's enough. Can you even go one minute without talking about it?"

"Can I? I'm Rainbow Dash of course I ca-" A low whimper interupted Rainbow Dash as we got closer to the Everfree.

"Hey girls did you hear that?"

"I think somepony is out there."

"Hold on girls, I think I should fly up to make sure just in case." I opened my mouth to protest against it but nothing came out so I nodded.

The five of us started walking behind hear until we heard something falling to the ground. "Guy's it's that..." We heard silence so we ran after her to see what was happening.

"Pony? I'm the Rainbow Dash! Fastest flier in all of Equestria!"

"What is it Rainbow Das..." I froze as I saw who she was talking to. 'It's the creature! Yes now I can apologize to it and to learn about his species.' But all those thoughts stopped as he picked up a unicorn and started to run away.

"Wait we want to talk! Rainbow Dash why were you just staring rather than keeping in eye on it. Rainbow's face started to turn red but was quickly replaces by a look of determination. "Well don't just stand there, lets go get it."

We started to chase after it for a few minutes. 'Ugh this is getting ridiculous' I started to charge up my magic hoping it will stop. "Twilight Nooo!" But it was it too late as my magic shot towards the creatures left leg. I felt my ears being tortured by the loud scream of agony followed by my attack.

Hawk please don't leave me alone with them!" 'Who the heck was Hawk?' Looking back at my friends they seemed unhappy for some reason.

"Twilight what in the hay was that?"

"It was a spell obviously." I said rolling my eyes. "Now come on let's go capture this creature." Walking to the direction of the screams came to the unicorn sobbing in the creatures body.

"Trixie?!" we all said at once. Trixie turned around with fury all over her face.

"Leave me and Hawk alone!" she yelled as she kept sobbing in the creature's body. The creature seemed to stroke her mane attempting to calm her down.

"Relax Trixie we just want to talk to uh... Hawk there." I said pointing a hoof at the creature named Hawk. "Look what you did with Hawk's leg." What I saw was not a pleasant experience as blood was rapidly pouring out it's leg.

"Oh my! I'm sorr-"

"No more lies Sparkle! Stop ruining our lives." I was then blinded by a sudden flash and just like that they disappeared.

I dropped my head in shame thinking back to what I've done to thes two in the past day's. Rainbow Dash was the complete opposite of me lashing out in anger.

"Hey now pardner, how about calming yerself for a second." Rainbow Dash seemed to take Applejack's advice and managed to calm down.

"T-Twilight why did you do that to him?" Fluttershy asked hiding in her mane.

"Wait that's a him?" I asked while the others looked at me in shock.

"Of course silly! Didn't you see his body features? Then when you shot the bolt from your horn and hit him which lead to him saying, "Ahhhhhhhh." She yelled collapsing the same way Hawk did.

"Gee Pinkie thanks for recreating the scene for us." I said sarcastically as Pinkie stood up and started bouncing again. "Your welcome!"

"Hey T-Twilight what's the closest city around here.?" Fluttershy asked still scared of my actions.

"Manehattan is the closest city why?"

"Maybe Trixie and Hawk went there?" I mentally slapped my face with a hoof. 'Why didn't I think of that?'

"Alright but we should head back to Ponyville to get some rest." The others nodded in agreement as we walked back to Ponyville.

"Hey girls do you know why Trixie was with him."

"No." Most of them said together.

"I think I may have an idea." I turned to see Rainbow Dash was the one who might know.

"While I was chasing him I saw him holding Trixie as he tried to run away. So I'm guessing they met after somepony driven them out of town." Rainbow Dash said while looking at me.

"I was going to apologize! Anyways I'm guessing he was protecting her from us."

"Ah' do the same if that were Applebloom."

"Then I guess they developed a deep bond withen those days." Rainbow Dash wasn't as happy as the rest of us hearing our final conclusion. "Why the hay would he choose her instead of me... uhh I mean gotta go!" And with that she flew off to her home as fast as she could.

"Well goodbye girls, we'll meet again tomorrow at my house.

[Morning]

"Twilight were are you going?" Spike groaned as be got up for the morning.

"Me and the girls are going to Manehattan to find Hawk and Trixie." Spike tilted his head in confusion.

"Who's Hawk? And why in Equestria are you going to find Trixie?"

"Hawk is that strange creature we encountered a few days ago. And Hawk seems to be Trixie's protector so I figured I owed both of them an apology."

"You should tell Princess Celestia so she can tell you whether you should or just leave them alone."

"No!" Spike flinched a little but I kept going, "If I do Princess Celestia would be cross at me about all the horrible things I did to them." I said shaking from imagining what Princess Celestia would do.

"Oh the girls are here already? I better go now, Bye Spike!" Before he could say anything I had already left the house.

"Hey where's Rainbow Dash?"

"O-Oh I haven't seen her since last night."

"Here I am!" Looking up I saw Rainbow Dash or what I thought was her. She looked like she groomed herself and her mane looked like the style she had during the Gala.

"Darling you know where just going to Manehattan right?" Rarity said as Applejack fell to the ground laughing which caused Pinkie to laugh with her.

"I know, I just thought I can look nice for him." That's when we all stared at her, even Pinkie Pie stopped laughing for once.

"Ooh your going to impress somepony do tell." Rarity asked out of curiosity.

"That's none of your business! Anyways let's go before it's dark."

"WAIT!" We all stopped and looked at Pinkie. "Lets travel by montage." We all looked at her in confusion before she started to giggle. "Come on I'll show you."

"What the hay was that?!" Looking at Pinkie she seemed to be wearing a hat similar to the bears.

"Oh silly those were the muppets! You know the talking puppets."

'That was a wierd way to travel and what are puppets?'

"Okay... wait Pinkie that took way longer than it seemed look!" I said pointing a hoof to the sky as it looked like the sun was going down.

Looking around I saw a crowd of ponies gathering. "Look there girls, maybe we can ask for clues."

Walking towards tbe crowd we saw a hooded pony ranting on about something.

"Come one Come all and see as I perform the greatest tricks in Ponykind." The hooded pony then lured us into following her to an empty area.

"Now watch in awe as I summon an unknown creature from a different dimension." The hooded mare then used her magic to make a portal. Then a few seconds later came a creature covered in black.

"Now that's magic right there." Rainbow Dash said as everypony started to cheer the hooded mare.
mare.

The mare handed a unicycle to the unknown species as it hopped on it and started cycling in circles. Then the mare handed it a ball on fire. Two more followed and the creature started to juggle all 3 fire balls while cycling.

Then all three of the balls piled up on his head as it took a bow. The ponies around me cheered at the act.

"This so Awesome!" screamed Rainbow Dash as the next trick was starting. "Now for our next trick, the saw the mare in half trick!"

"The what? Hey girls you know what she's talking about." They didn't answer as their curiosity took over their mind.

The mare handed the creature a saw as she got in the box. 'What are they up to?'
I shrieked as the creature started to literally saw the mare in half. The audience had the same reaction as the creature was done sawing the box and pulled it apart.

'Shouldn't the mare be dead by now?' The box was back together revealing the mare unharmed by the trick. My ears started to hurt as the crowd cheered louder. "Now for our grand finale the spear cabinet trick!"

'Another trick that's unfamiliar with me'

A huge box was pulled out as the creature patted the mare on the head and proceeded to climb in the box. "Now behold as I do this without using any magic what's so ever."

'Wait what's she doing with that spear?'

The hooded mare then stabbed the box with the spear. I looked over to my friends to see that thier faces were filled with fear, well except for Fluttershy as she was hiding her eyes behind her hooves.

Spear after spear came until after the last spear was put in a scream could be heard in the box
The audience gasped as they were frozen in fear by the outcomes of the trick. The hooded mare quickly pulled out the spears and lifted the box to reveal the creature jumping out of the box unharmed.

The audiences sighs of relief turned into a massive cheer with hoof stomping.

"Bravo Bravo!" yelled Rainbow Dash as she threw a couple of bits to show her appreciation. Everypony else copied her and bits were flying to the two as they picked the bits up. Giving the audience one final bow before they ran off.

"Well girls we may have not found Hawk and Trixie but this was worth our time." They nodded in approval before we started to make our way back to Ponyville."

"Travel Montage!" Pinkie Pie yelled as the music came back again.

Almost two minutes later we found ourselves back in Ponyville.

"Pinkie!" We all yelled together as the party mare started giggling.

"Oopsie!"
