"Princess Twilight what are you doing here?" Exclusive Said not expecting to see her here. Neither was I.

"I was looking for Jessica after she went missing." Twilight said moving into the campsite and in front of Exclusive "The better question is How did you get to Jessica before we found her."

Now that is a good question. I then turn to face Him. "Exclusive, Have you been stocking me?" I asked him trying to make sense of this situation.

"No," Exclusive said quickly before taking a breath and then starts his story "After you left the Boutique I got worried that you went on your own. So I went searching around Ponyville until I ended up being knocked out at Bonbon house. Maple found me shortly afterward and woke me up after taking me to a safe place. Once I came to, I knew you had to be in trouble so I asked an old friend to go looking for you and then bring you here."

Well, I am not sure I should be happy that he was worried about me and went looking for me or concerned that he is friends with a shadow creature. What has become of my life? Before I could answer the other mare with Twilight spoke up. She has a lighter purple coat then Twilight and a blue streak in her mane.

"But that doesn't explain about the part where you mention Chrystalis having a new army." she said adding to the conversation. "Only some pony on the inside would know about that."

"Yes, Starlight that would be the only way anypony would find out about secret organization members or they happen to stumble upon it by accident. And last I check Exclusive you never like to leave Ponyville. Now that could be just for personal reasons but then again it could be that you are hiding from somepony or hiding something." Twilight said before getting between me and Exclusive. " But then what would you need to hid from everypony? A bad family history? A pony that has sworn vengeance on you? Or perhaps a new start with a new name? In fact you there is almost no history of an Exclusive in Equestria."

I looked at Exclusive with a surprised look on my face "What are they talking about?"

"What I am saying is that there is no copy of a birth certificate of Exclusive in Cantarlot's royal archives. The name Exclusive only pop up out of no way three years ago when you moved into Ponyville. Now that wouldn't be a problem because you could have been a foreigner moving into Equestria with no ties to anypony here. However, Everypony knows that you have said that you and Rarity are cousins. And last time I check Rarity family tree is not that big and she has no cousin named Exclusive." Twilight said moving in front of Exclusive "So who are you two really?"

'Jessica' I heard Maple said but I didn't hear her with my ears but I heard her in my head.

'What?' I thought and turn to the filly and notice that she has moved behind me. "Did you say something Maple?" I asked her while Twilight continues to expose Exclusive as a fake.

'I don't like her. Jessica make her go away' She said but didn't move her mouth.

"How are you doing that?" I asked her quietly. No one else seems to notice our conversation.

'Daddy said only talk to ponies I trust like this when I am scared.'

'Are you talking to me in my mind.' I thought talk back to her not sure if this works both ways. 'Wait why are you scared it is only Princess Twilight...' I stop once I notice something. Twilight looks like she is getting ready to pick a fight with Exclusive as they circle each other. Exclusive doesn't seem to be scared of her and he keeps looking back at us but keeping his focus on Twilight.

Isn't Twilight the Princess of friendships? Wouldn't she be avoiding a fight not starting one? Isn't she taking this a little to far trying to provoke the pony they are trying to capture? And then there Exclusive. I am going to have a long talk with him once things calm down. And finally, there is the other mare over there. I don't know who she is, and she seems to be waiting on the sidelines not lifting a hoof to help Twilight but rather watch and see how this plays out. Some friend she is. If she is truly her friend she should be trying to stop this fight; not standing there waiting to see who will win. I may not know the Twilight or Exclusive long enough to decide who to trust right now, but fighting amongst ourselves is not going to solve anything.

"Will you two calm down!" I shouted getting both of their attention and stopping them in their tracks. "Okay, so Exclusive has been lying to everyone about who he is for a while, big deal. He must have his reasons but that is not the big issue here. What if he is telling the truth about these changelings working with the ponies that are stealing humans from my world. Shouldn't we be trying to figure out if that is true at least? Becuase that can become a serious problem." Priorities people. Wait they are ponies how does that work.

Despite my effort in stopping this useless fight Twilight seems very determine in her goals of hit first and ask questions later. "Jessica you can't trust anything that Exclusive is saying anymore,"Twilight said moving back on over to her friend. "What if he is just luring you away with him just so he can to turn you into the ponies that ponynapped you?"

"Jessica I would never do that to you," Exclusive said look back at me. "I am just trying to keep the ponies I care about safe." He then looks back at Twilight taking up a fight stance.

I was going to comment on his statement when I heard Maple again. 'He wants us to run.'

I then look back at the filly 'Okay Maple what is going on? Why does everypony here want to fight each other?'

'Jessica. That mare is not Twilight.'

'What? Are you saying that she is an imposter?' Maple nods her head at me. This isn't good. Children as young as her only see things as black and white, good and bad. And right now she is saying that the Princess of Friendship is bad. She might just be favoring her father side because he is her dad. But then again what if she is right? 'Well, I know one way to find out. Stay close to me Maple.'

"Hey, Twilight," I said getting her attention. "How have the others been doing since I left Ponyville?"

"They doing fine Jessica," Twilight replied,

"And what about Ruby? We were going to make a cake together before I was kidnapped."

"She still waiting for you back at Ponyville Jessica," Twilight said without a second thought. "Now can you help me get Exclusive here for questioning?"

'Wrong answer Twilight or whatever your real name is. Maple, tell your dad that we are going to run.

'Okay.'

"Sure Twilight. Come on Maple. We are out of here." I said picking up Maple and putting her on my back while moving her away from the fighting area.

'Maple grab onto my back and whatever to do. Don't let go!' I thought back the little filly getting ready to run.

"What did you say, Jessica?" Twilight said before I start to run away from them. "Hey get back here!" Twilight said before she got a magic blast from Exclusive.

Ah, my old enemy running, why does it have to be running? I have never had to run so much before in my whole life. On the plus side, my leg doesn't bother me anymore. But what now? The Princess is an imposter, I lost one of best friends and I got a filly I just meet on my back run to who knows where. Is there any place that is safe anymore? My thoughts were interrupted when I heard Maple in my head again.

'Is Daddy going to be okay?'

'I do not know. Is your Daddy a fighter?'

'Yes, but he hasn't had to fight anypony for years.'

Wait Exclusive can fight? Why has he never shown signs of that before? He must have had a reason not to during those times when trouble came up. Just who is he?

"Don't let them get away!" Twilight said to Starlight but was stop by Exclusive's magic blast her into a tree. "You are really starting to get on my nerves Exclusive!"

"You can drop the act Bug I know you are not Twilight," Exclusive said getting between them and where Jessica ran off to.

"Hun I guess you are right." The imposter Twilight said before a green flame covered her and a changeling stood where she was. "Then again once I have defeated you. I will just have to take your appearance and go after those two." He said as his partner drop his disguise.

"You make it sounds like you are going to win."

"Of course we are going to win you bug. There are two of us and one of you. I never thought I would have to fight another one of our kind. Chrysalis is going so please once we bring you in. But before I smash your head into the ground, I have a question for you Exclusive."

"And that is?"

"What makes you and your brothers so special? Chrysalis herself said never to cross paths with you all? What is all that about? Did you make some kind of deal with her or something?"

"Something like that. And the answer to your question is simple changeling. We are not like the rest of you. And now I have a question for you," Exclusive said as his horn lights a dark green color and the area around them all started to get darker and darker as the shadows of everything around them grow in size covering everything and everypony in darkness.

The changelings were trying to move but the bodies refuse to move as shadows slowly covered their whole bodies. "What is going on!"

"Are you afraid of the dark?" Exclusive said as the last ray of light disappeared.

meanwhile back with the real Twilight and Starlight.

"Did you hear Something Twilight?" Starlight asked Twilight.

Twilight was moving Jessica's hair back and forth until she realizes she was asked a question."What? Heard what?"

"Like a scream in the distance."

"No, I didn't hear anything. Now come on. It looks like Jessica is on the move. We better pick up the pace if we are going to catch up with her."

"Right," Starlight said un-sure that she was hearing things. "I hope she is alright. If she is running then something must have happened."

"Good point I wish Rainbow was back by now so she can search ahead of us." Right as Twilight said that a rainbow blur flew over them before returning back to them.

"Hey Twilight,"Rainbow said flying in front of them.

"Rainbow! Good timing. I..." Twilight got cut off when Rainbow but a hoof to her mouth.

"One Second Twilight. I got a question for you." Rainbow said before removing her hoof from Twilight's mouth.

"And that is Rainbow?"

"Does Celestia know about the humans in Equestria?"

"Well just about Jessica" Twilight said before noticing what Rainbow just said. "And what do you mean by humans?! I thought Jessica was the only one here."

"That what I thought before I interrogated Bonbon earlier and she spilled the beans about everything."

Both Twilight and Starlight were surprised that Rainbow was able to get information out of one of the Ponynapper's "How did you make her do that?" Starlight asked wanting to know for her own reasons.

"I have my ways." Rainbow said smiling upon remembering how she did do it and how she left Bonbon in the middle of the lake, "In any case, Bonbon said she was a secret agent under orders from the CROWN to find humans in Equestria and capture them. Jessica was just the next human on her list."

There was a moment of silence as the two mares in front of Rainbow process what they were told. Rainbow started to get nervous as she thinks she broke them and was about to shake them before she was blasted away from them by their collected shout.

"WHAT!"
