It still hit its target though not without bouncing off the walls first and almost hitting Sam on the arm. Max fell onto the ground with a yelp of pain and the dart stuck in his arm. Sam was able to take the dart out of Max’s arm and looked at the building he thought the dart had come from. After bandaging the arm he told Max “don’t move Max, I’ll get help”
And then he ran off. To Fluttershy this was only a minor hiccup in the plan. This could still work in her favor. All she needed to do was treat his injury and when Max awoke he’d fall in love with her, and his best friend would be grateful towards her for saving his best friend’s life.
But before she could step out of the bushes the CMC spotted Max lying on the ground. They didn’t see Fluttershy in the bushes and assumed Max was alone. They thought that if they saved him they would receive their cutie marks in animal care just as Fluttershy received hers. They placed Max in a red cart and sped off to find Fluttershy to teach them how to heal an injured animal unaware that she had been right in the bushes all along. Fluttershy’s jaw hit the ground in shock, just when her plan was going well something had to happen to make it worse.
Just then Sam returned with two human females in tow; one wearing royal regalia suggesting she was royalty and the other wearing a lab coat suggesting she was a scientist. The trio stopped as Sam said “Max was here five minutes ago. Either he slinked off somewhere or someone took him”
Suddenly a unicorn stopped right beside the trio and spoke “I heard a scream, is everyone alright?”
The trio looked at the unicorn not knowing what to say. The unicorn had ginger hair and emerald green eyes. Finally after a silence lasting for more than a second Sam finally spoke “we are okay although my friend Max was shot by a dart here, I left to get help and when I came back he was gone”
As the unicorn began to speak Derpy ran towards him shouting “Tick Tock!”
And hugged him. Tick Tock spoke “hey Derpy, was it you that screamed?”
Derpy said “yes, but someone scared me”
Just than out of the bushes jumped Time Turner. As the trio spoke to each other Sam finally said “now that is cleared up, can you help me find Max?”
Sam never thought he’d ask a pony for help but desperate times call for desperate measures.
Tick Tock said “right, I was about to say that there are wagon tracks on the ground, maybe if we follow them we’ll find your friend and whoever took him”
After he said that he raced in the direction the tracks went. Sam, Derpy, Time Turner, the two females, and Fluttershy followed although Fluttershy was staying near places to hide just in case one of them turned around.
Meanwhile the CMC hit a bit of a roadblock; a pothole in the road caused the wagon to be stuck and the CMC were forced to leave but not before leaving a note:
To who finds this note
We’ve gone to get help. Be right back
Signed: the Cutie Mark Crusaders
Only seconds had to pass until Applejack found the wagon and the note. As she read it she thought “what are those three up to this time? Least they left a note this time ‘round”
Just then a groan of pain came from Max and Applejack looked at him in the wagon. He was starting to wake up and pain shot through his arm. It was then his eyes focused of Applejack and just like that pain was replaced with romance as he looked over her and saw things that only made his heartbeat race; her blond mane, emerald green eyes, blond coat, and her ‘triforce’ apple cutie mark. He stared longingly at her when she spoke “you okay? You’ve been staring at me for a while now”
Max tried to hide the blush forming on his face as he felt the desire to hide in a bush. Max stuttered for a little bit trying to figure out what to say next, just then Sam and the others appeared as Sam said “alright you have five minutes to explain why you have Max and there had better be a good reason”
Applejack turned around and said “my sister Applebloom and her friends found him on the ground and took him to get help. But the wagon got stuck in a pothole and they left to get help but not before leaving a note”

ending on a cliffhanger. will Sam believe Applejack? or will a now love poisoned Max have to intervene? and I told you Chapter 2 would be the point in the series things get crazy. stay turned for Chapter 3.
Chapter 1: Love Makes You Crazy
It was Valentine day, a day for love and for sweets to be all around. As the festivities went on a pony crept through the crowd with a soft, quiet “sorry” Every time she bumped into a human. This mare’s name was Fluttershy and she was on a mission to get her crush to notice her. Lately she and her friends had been sent on a mission by princess Celestia to make a new friend in the form of a human. This human however had made friends in the form of two freelance police officers; one a canine named Sam the other a lagomorph named Max. Max caught Fluttershy’s attention and attraction although he had no romantic feelings for her.
Fluttershy had a plan on how to win his heart even if she had to do it using amoral actions for as they say ‘love makes you do crazy things’. She brought along a close friend of hers; Ditzy Do otherwise known as Derpy Hooves or lady Brighteyes as a sort of in-joke between her and Derpy. Sadly Derpy had poor depth perception due to a birth defect involving her eyes which in turn gave her the nickname of Derpy but Fluttershy hoped that if Derpy focused enough she’d be able to hit Max with a love poison dart she herself crafted.
Twilight Sparkle researched love poison after the incident with Big Macintosh and Cheerilie and figured out that in small doses it causes the poisoned to have a similar reaction to a real crush on someone and could only be vanquished if the pony they fall for returns the feelings with a true love’s kiss. Since Fluttershy already had a crush on Max all she had to do was be the first pony Max saw after he was hit with the dart and everything would fall into place. Derpy lined up the bow and dart and closed her bad eye to focus on her target, everything was perfect until... ”HEY DERPY!!” A sudden shout from the bushes made Derpy jump and shout. This also caused her to accidently fire the dart.
Author's Note
a crossover between MLP and the Sam and Max series may seem crazy now but wait till chapter two happens, that's when the crazy stuff happens.
