As the night drew on the three fillies, each in their own dream sequence, stared in befuddlement at the tall bipedal green creature wearing a suit. With a look of worry, AppleBloom quickly asked the creature about their presence. "Wh-Who are you?" The biped replied; giving them one piece of information

"My Name is Anonymous," he said "Or Anon for short."

Applebloom looked at the creature with a hint of skepticism on her face. Awkwardly replying to the oddity of his name she asked him another question. "Well Anon," she nervously said, "Where exactly, are we?" Before he could answer streams of bright lights and screens shot behind Anon, causing the yellow earth pony to back up in both wonder and fright.

Turning towards the startled pony anon informed her about the rooms workings. "You see AppleBloom," he began "in this room, I watch all that occurs not only in your world but, other universes as well." As he said that, he walked towards an assortment of nobs, buttons, and levers. "Here, watch this."

Slightly intrigued, AppleBloom watched the screen as it showed what appeared to be the town hall building. "So, what are we waiting for?" The startlement from before quickly wore off, as she trotted towards the two-legged creature.

"You'll see." He replied, with a slight look of excitement.

In the town hall building, many of the parents, store owners of the village. Besides the mayor who was leading the meeting, many of patricians were talking over one another some even arguing intensely about the current issue at the orchard.
Amongst the chaos, Mayor Mare attempted to ease the panic. "Will everyone please, stay calm!" she asserted "Our investigators are working very hard on the situation."
"Oh sure," snarkily commented one of the parents at the meeting "How are those sacks of crap going to finger the culprit behind this, if they can't simply investigate that robbery over at the Cakes shop?"

Somewhat stunned by the question, Mayor Mare was about to respond to the outburst before she was interrupted by two more concerned parents.

"If I may," said Mrs. Cake, raising her hoof, "I that stallion has the right idea."

Intrigued by this notion, the Mayor questioned her. "What what did you have in mind?"

Clearing her through Mrs. Cake explained her idea. "Well I think that maybe we should perhaps hire a tougher team of police ponies"

Many in the room began to nod some vocally agreeing with her. However, both the mayor and Twilight Sparkle were slightly concerned by the concept. "Though it's not a bad idea," she began "are you sure we should go as far as adding more to the panic of this ordeal." As she finished her statement; looks of disdain directed towards the tan colored mare. Realizing the inaccuracy of her word choice, she quickly continued "I-I mean," she stammered "this is the first time, at least by our standards, we've had an accident such as this; I'm sure our boy's in a blue can will get our guy in not time."

"Are you so sure of that?" To everyone's surprise, the oddly cold voice came from Mrs. Cake; even her husband was shocked by her tone."Um, honey?"

"Sure, we could wait for our 'boys in blue'" she mocked "As for all we know whoever maimed that bovine could be looking for their next prey!" Taken aback by the sudden outburst, Mayor Mare attempted to calm the situation; however she was quickly cut off. "Mrs. Cake please understand-"

"Understand What," her iris's began to take on a fiery red color as she went on "that you're willing to let innocent foals be slaughtered as these shit for brains policemen play freaking tiddlywinks!" The temperature slowly began to raise as her rant continued "If they can't even get the culprit who robbed our store, THEN WHAT THE HELL ARE THEY GOOD FOR!"

For what seemed like an eternity, the room was deathly quiet, as looks of absolute bewilderment were drawn on everyone's faces. In a matter of seconds, the room's temperature went back to normal as did Mrs. Cake. "Oh, sorry about that dearie," she said, turning almost red due to the embarrassment.

Twilight was the first to speak, "Well," she began "All in favor in extra police ponies say aye"

Everyone's hooves shot right up as they all agreed in unison. "All who oppose say nay" Like before, the room once again went quiet.

"What the hey was that all about" exclaimed Apple Bloom, as she backed from the contraption.

"You see Apple Bloom" Anon began, his eyes still glued to the monitors "When you and your friends found that weird object, it messed with the natural order of the universe"

"Natural Order?"

Anon sighed, as he explained to the southern filly about her universe. "You see Bloom," he began "Your universe is more controlled, or scripted than it all appears to be." AppleBloom cocked her head in confusion.

What does he mean by 'scripted'? Before she could ask him, Anon materialized a large stack of papers in his hands and dropped them in front of her.

"What's all that stuff?" she asks

"You see Bloom your universe is what we like to call the control-verse," As he continued talking, the filly began skimming various pages of the pamphlets; reading each title.

My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic Season One? What in all of Equestria does that mean? Opening the pamphlet she took notice of some familiar names. Mainly those of her family, friends, and even some of the former foes.
What could all of this mean? She continued reading for what felt like hours.

Before she could get to the last page of the final pamphlet AppleBloom felt an odd vacuum like force pulling her away from the stack. "Wait a minute," she exclaimed, as she tried to keep her ground "What does all of this mean!?" Anon simply smiled at her, waving his hand.

"Until we meet again!" he shouted. Unable to hold herself any longer she flew back towards the white vortex, causing her to scream in the process.

AppleBloom awoke in a cold sweat and breathing heavily. She wasn't sure of what to make of that dream but she knew what she had to do once the sun rose. "I need to talk to the girls about this."
