"Are ya sure it's safe twilight?" Applejack asked, with a hint of fear.

"Yes Applejack, I ran the numbers and simulated the results, I'm one hundred percent sure that it will work perfectly. The only thing that could go wrong is that we might not get the apple back." Twilight said excitedly, after all, she had just spent 52 hours running the math, and now she finally got to test it.

"I-I guess it sounds ok, I just hope it doesn't scare owlowiscious." Fluttershy whispered shyly. She didn't really think it was a good idea, but she also didn't want to hurt twilights feelings.

"It sounds AWESOME! Maybe I'll get to fly with ALIEN Pegasi!" Rainbow dash said excitedly, She always wanted to fly with something other than a Pegasus, Maybe she could kick their flank in a race!

"I for one would like to meet their fashion gurus!" Rarity exclaimed, wondering what alien fashion would be like.

"I wonder if they'll be smart monkeys with guns!" Pinkie wondered

"Pinkie, darling, what are guns?" Asked rarity.

"Nothing!" Pinkie screamed, while running towards the tree/castle.

"Welp. I guess we'll see you there!" Dash said before flying after pinkie.

"Okay, I guess it's just us now." Twilight said, with a deadpan expression.

After about ten minutes the last four friends made it to the library to find a sweaty, tired looking rainbow dash, and a bouncing pinkie pie.

"She beat me." rainbow dash sulked through ragged breaths. "She beat me in nine seconds flat!"

"So much fer 'ten seconds flat', huh rainbow dash." Apple jack quipped.

"Shut. Up. Applejack." Rainbow dash retorted.

Everyone cracked up at this, even Fluttershy, who usually laughed with her friends instead of at them.

"I see you're having fun twilight. Mind if we join?"

"Celestia! Luna! You're here!" Twilight Fangirled.

"HUZZAH! Now thou can perform thy teleportation spell!" Luna exclaimed.

"Luna, you're doing it again." celestia warned.

"Sorry sister, we are just very excited about the new spell!" Luna sheepishly replied, blushing lightly.

"There is nothing to be sorry for Luna, it is just that most ponies do not understand old equestrian." Celestia replied in a motherly tone. "Now, let us get inside to test the spell!"

"Ok lets go!" Twilight excitedly exclaimed.

After 5 minutes they all reached the lab, where all of twilights beakers, test papers, and experimental calculators.

"Alright, put the apple in the test zone, and I'll start the spell." Twilight ordered.

"Twilight, darling, must we Wear hard hats? It's clashing with my beautiful coat!" Rarity whined.

"It's just a precaution, just in case I run the spell that destroys structures, its surprisingly similar."

"That's reassuring." Rainbow dash deadpanned.

"Lets just start the spell." Twilight sighed while charging her horn.

Soon the apple was crackling with electricity and was violently shaking, when suddenly the apple shot right at Fluttershy causing them to both disappear.

Everyone but celestia and Luna screamed, and rarity fainted without even bothering with the theatrics, and promptly gel flat on the floor.

"Fluttershy!" Twilight screamed, before breaking down and crying. "It's all my fault. It's all my fauhauhault."

"No it is not dear student, you could not have possibly known this could have happened." Celestia cooed. "All you need to do is retrieve her, just like how you were to do with the apple!"

"Oh, right!" Twilight cheered "I got really scared there for a second!"

Twilight charged up here horn again before it fizzled out. "Come on." She charged up her horn again, getting the same result. "Please!" She tried once more, still failing to bring Fluttershy back before fainting next to her overdramatic friend.

"Do not fear yet, Luna is Scrying Fluttershy and I will project what she sees!" Celestia spoke, with a slight falter in her voice, though no pony noticed.

"Sister I have found her, please start the projection spell." Luna spoke, while concentrating on her spell.

"Yes sister, let us begin." Celestia replied.

Narrating: Fluttershy.

Fluttershy barely had time to scream before she was thrust into a hypnotic trance with odd colors and wavy oscillating views of nearly unrecognizable moments with her friends.

Just after that she awoke curled up in a small metal box with 5 small slits in the middle.

"Ugh... Celestia..." she groggily spoke. "Why do I drink those funny teas."
She looked around the structure before remembering what happened.
"O-oh right, that spell."

Just then a coatless biped walked up the stairs waving around a metal and wooden stick. It shrugged and pulled out a little white and brown paper thing and set the end of it on fire, before breathing in through it.

ew

Fluttershy saw the biped turn around
And make two explosions with the metal stick...

POP POP

Before another smaller metal stick was put on his head...

POP

It was not something her innocent mind could handle, and she broke down crying.

"Shit!" Some pony screamed, before more explosions happened.

KRAK KRAK KRAK KRAK KRAK

"Eep!" Fluttershy whimpered, the sound of the exploding sticks only serving to make her sob harder

"Wilson! Two hostile contacts down!" The first voice screamed.

"Good." Another voice responded. "Now help me get these two dead weights up the stairs!"

"D-dead?" Fluttershy whispered through sobs.

"I'm not a dead weight anymore!" A third voice exclaimed. "Those gunshots woke my sleeping beauty ass!"

"Excellent! Now lets get Laskins up the stairs." The second voice responded

"N-n-not dead?" Fluttershy whispered, still sobbing.

Three more bipeds entered the room, carrying another. they were all lighter skinned, and were wearing more clothing, with desert colors and a thick light brown vest.

"Wilson! Lets get Laskins on the table!" The third voice, belonging to one of the bipeds ordered.

"Ok baker. Me and the pilot over there will guard-" the first voice, belonging to the tallest one stopped "Shh. I'm gonna check the locker."

The tall biped moved towards the metal box she was in, and raised one of his hands towards something on it, making a click.

"Eep!" Fluttershy whimpered, thinking the figure would kill her like the darker biped

He slowly opened the door, revealing Fluttershy to the room.

"P-p-p-please don't-t h-hurt m-me!

Narrating: Ponyville

"ITS ALL MY FAUHAUHAULT!" Twilight screamed before blacking out again.

Unable to watch any more Luna stopped the scrying spell.

"We must find a way to get her back. Before those monsters can harm her!" Celestia yelled, all of her calmness gone because of the danger she thought the element of kindness was in.

"W-we will pr-princess." Applejack stuttered, almost throwing up.

"W-we will."
