Why Us?

"I really don't like this place," I said laying my head on the table.

"Yeah. Me too."Lyra said copying me. "I am even thinking about going back to Ponyville."

I then lift up my head from the table to look at Lyra. "Really?"

"Are you kidding! Oh, course not."

I figure as much. We have survived the red death, but only because of her husband. He was nearby and literally picked her up and took her away. However, Ruby was screaming at us that she would deal with us later. Not wanting to deal with her again. Me and Lyra left the site and now are resting in one of the mess tents as the people...ponies... I am going to need to come up with a name for Human's turn ponies this is just getting ridiculous. How about humies or pomans nay that just sounds dumb.

"Well, it is safe to say that we aren't welcome back to the kitchen," I said stretching my back.

"So what now?"

"Now we rest and hope for whatever disaster that is going to come. That it will come later." I said putting my head back on the table on my forelegs and closing my eyes.

"What makes you think there is going to be a disaster coming soon."

I then turned my head to look at her from my position. "Not soon. Later. And the reason is that is all that ever happens to me." *sigh* "I just all of this to be over with and go home and pretend that this never happened. But I know that will not happen. Not as long those ponies have their mirror; no one is safe from them."

Lyra then speaks up "So how did you end up here Jessica?"

"Lyra I not in the mo-... you know what. I think you need to hear this." If she is going to be with me for who knows how long. She might as well the truth.

Back at H.Q. for the secret Ponies.

"What do you mean she is gone?!" BonBon screams at one of pony's in the agencies. She returned to the agency before getting to her house when her green gem she always keeps with her started flashing red. A sign that there is a problem at H.Q.

The guard has a blank face as he replied to her.

"Just like I said Agent Sweetie Drops. Jessica broke out of her cell an hour after you left, and we have no idea where she is."

"But how? No human has ever escaped from their cells before. How did she do it?"

"That no longer your concern Sweetie Drop. The Chief is personally handling the matter as we speak."

"The Chief is doing it?" Sweetie Drop replied with a surprised look on her face.

"Yes, he sees this as a disgrace to the agency and wants to deal with it as soon as possible."

"This isn't a wild animal we are talking about here. This is a dangerous and clever human. Don't make it seem like a milk run here."

"Hey don't look at me Sweetie Drop. You got a problem with this. Take it with the chief after his meeting."

"Oh let me guess he talking with the ones who are going to take care of her."

"Your words not mine."

"You are no help." Bonbon then makes her way to the Cheif office and enters the room without knocking. In the room, the Cheif is with a green stallion who looks at her in surprise. "Chief I need to talk with you."

Before she could get another word out the Chief beat her to the punch. "Forget it Sweetie Drops. You are not going after her."

Bonbon then moves to the front of the Cheif desk ignoring the other pony in the room. "But I am the best you got at capturing humans. You got to let me bring her in."

"Sweetie Drops the only reason you capture her was that you got the drop on her. She knows your face and won't get near you with a ten-foot pole. Besides this may soon be a blessing in disguise." The Cheif said calmly with made Bonbon tilt her head in curiosity.

"What do you mean?"

"This stallion and his team have already found a lead as to her whereabouts."

"Already? Who are these ponies and how come I have never heard of them." She said pointing to the green stallion in the room.

"That information is above your pay grade Sweetie Drops." The Cheif replied sternly "Now I am telling you this stay away from Jessica. We will get her rest assured. For now, you are to return home and wait for further orders. Understood?"

"Yes, sir." Bonbon said backing away from the desk and making her way out of the room. "When did I become distrusted with the Chief?" Bonbon said quietly to herself as she left the room.

Once the door closed behind her the green stallion then turn to face the Chief. "You know she is going to look for her."

"You let me deal with my agent's good sir." The Cheif then makes his way to a wall map that is covered with missing ponies photos along with drawings of ponies. Some of them are clean pictures but some of them have an '?' or 'x' on them. There are also red strings is connecting between pictures all in different places. "Jessica has become our best chances at finding the rest of the humans that have escaped. We will never get another chance like this. If what you said is true then all we have to do is wait patiently for the right moment." He said putting up a drawing of Jessica's face on the wall and then looks at his guest. "And the chances of retrieving the spell."

"That a no good. It would also appear that they are taking precautions against anypony trying to get to their notes. Not to mention that they are planning to destroy their notes on it once they have found her. It would appear that they are somehow aware of our presence."

"No matter. What is important is finding the humans no matter what." The Cheif then moves back to his desk and starts searching through one of his draws. "Tell your friend to retrieve the spell formula and bring it to me. And I will double his pay."

"Will do Cheif." The stallion said leaving the room as the Cheif found what he was looking for.

He then looks back at Jessica's picture. "One way or another, you will be my little golden goose, Jessica. No creature makes a fool out of me and gets away with it." He said throwing a knife at the Jessica photo hitting it in the middle.

Back at Pony Ville

Twilight is in front of BonBon's house and is accompanied by Rainbow along with Starlight.

"Is this the place Twilight?" Starlight said looking at the said building.

"It should be."

"Alright then. Let's bust in there and get them already!" Rainbow said moving in close to the build but was pulled back by Twilight's magic to her side.

"This is not a raid Rainbow. We are merely going to ask Bon Bon and Lyra about their last time they have come in contact with Jessica and Exclusive."

"But you saw the orb!"

"It is all circumstantial. As far as we know. Jessica and Exclusive are guests in BonBon's house. Or they just used another way to leave the building like teleporting."

"And what if they are trapped inside with no way out?" Rainbow continued,

"We can't prove that Rainbow."Starlight spoked up, "Which is why we don't have a search warrant. Besides we are not guards we are merely ponies worried about their friends."

"Well yeah but you know they are guilty right Twilight?"

"ALL WE KNOW" Twilight then relies on how loud she was and compose herself *ahem* "All we know is that they are the last ponies to be seen with them. Unless we can prove that they have committed a crime. There is nothing we can but ask. We are not above the law Rainbow."

"So what was the point of sending that letter to Celestia than?"

"Oh, that." Twilight said before turning to her friend, "It was informing her of a possible led to the disappearing ponies in Ponyville, and that we would be looking into it. That way if something were to happens to us. Celestia will be aware of that and will continue where we left off. If I don't send her a report at the time I specify in her letter."

"Alright then, knock away," Rainbow said disappointed that she wasn't going to fight anypony.

They then knock on the door to the house and receive no answer. They tried again and call out to anypony inside the building. After the third time, Rainbow flew around the building looking through the windows before coming back to the others.

"Nopony is home." she then notices that Twilight is leaving with Starlight looking between them wondering what is her teacher doing. "Hay! Where are you going Twilight?" Rainbow said getting in front of Twilight.

"Home." she simply says.

"But this is the best time to look for clues!"

"Rainbow we can't just break into somepony's house. It is a crime." Just as Twilight finish her statement a light arua green glow surrounds Rainbow and sends her screaming straight into Bonbon's house and breaking one of the windows in the process. Twilight then looks to Starlight who horn just stop glowing.

"Oh, would you look at that. Rainbow just had a terrible accident and crash through the window. We better see if she is okay." Starlight said innocently as she begins walking back to the house as Twilight joins her.

"You could have just thrown a brick Starlight."

"Whatever for? We are just checking up on a friend in need." Starlight said as she opens the door with her magic and was surprised to find it open.

Once they made sure that Rainbow wasn't in need of going to the hospital they began their search. They search the house inside out looking for any signs of ponies or hidden rooms. After five minutes the girls gather in the living room to give each other their reports. "Nothing up here," Rainbow said from the upstairs level of the house.

"Clear on my end." Starlight coming from the left side of the house.

"And I can't prick up any signs of a basement," Twilight said putting a hoof to her chin in deep thought.

"Well, they aren't here. They must of move them somewhere," Rainbow said thinking about a possible hideout in the wood somewhere.

Twilight knows that they have overstayed their welcome in the house and better get out of here before somepony sees them here."We are done here." Twilight horn then glows bright and teleported all of them out of the house and into castle friendship.

"What the big idea Twilight!" Rainbow said not liking being teleported without a heads up. It makes her stomach feel weird.

"We got what we needed." Twilight simple said making her way to the table room with the others right behind her.

"But we got nothing. Oh! Wait! The spell!" Rainbow said excitedly at Twilight's plan.

"Right. Remember the spell only works on places we happen been to before." Twilight then secures the area with some spells before activating the time viewing orb. "Now we shall see."

Back with Jessica

I just finish telling Lyra all that happen after her best friend Bonbon had knocked her out. She was calm at first, and laugh at the part when I got knocked out as well but what shocked when I mention the agencies ponies. And she hates the Cheif and personal I agree with her also she was impressed with my escape from their facility. But once I got the part with Ruby singing me to death. Well...

*Hahahahaaa* I think I should have skipped that part. Now I can't get her to be quiet. Some of the ponies nearby where looking at us wondering what is so funny. Again with the stares, come on.

"Lyra it is not that funny."

"No, it wasn't. But it was the way you said it is why it was so funny." Lyra then does her best impersonation of Jessica's voice. "Oh, help me, help me my ears are going deaf by the sound of music." *hahahahaa* And now she is on her back.

My face turns red at her statement, "I didn't say that!"

"But that is what you meant." Lyra then wipes away a tear from her eye before sitting upright. "But seriously. This Cheif pony is the one behind this?"

"Yes for the most part. He is the supplier of Humans to his client who knows where. If he is taken down then the strings of kidnapped will end and then all of us here can go home."

Lyra then taps her hoofs together "Can I come with you all?"

"I don't know. Honestly, It never came to mind if a pony can come into our world. But I guess it is possible. But first thing first. We need that mirror."

"So what is the plan?"

"We stay out the way and let the bigger people handle it. I already told you Mathew is going to take care of it and we would only get in the way."

"But then why don't you sound happy about this?"

"Because it should be me taking down Cheif, not Mathew. And the fact that I can't fight makes me feel useless."
