Starlight and Applejack had both fallen asleep in the castle throne room while waiting for their friends to return, Starlight lay in the corner of the room with a sleeping bag while Applejack was asleep in her chair. they had stayed up late in the hopes of seeing their friends and talking about what had happened during the day, but sleep had won in the end. as the two lay in sleep their friends had returned and were sitting in their individual thrones watching their friends sleep.

"Should we wake them?" Pinkie asked

"Naw" Rainbow replied, "I don't know what happens after we left yesterday, but I'm betting they're exhausted."

"You seemed to have chilled out" Rarity noted "when you first found us you seemed...less so"

"I'm fine, It was just...saw things I shouldn't have seen is all" she muttered, shivering as a mental image of the Creature with its jaw hanging off popped into her head.

"So, now that we're all here, think you can properly explain now?" Twilight asked

"I Explained!" Rainbow retorted

"Dashie not to be rude, but all we managed to get from you is that AJ and Starlight did something and you're mad at them about it" it was at this point that Applejack indicated that she was awake

"Dammit Dash" They heard her muffled voice as she continued to lay face-first on the table

"Applejack thank Celestia" Rarity sighed "Please tell us what's going on."

"I can't" She responded simply

"What!" Rainbow asked, "The hell you can't!"

"Rainbow I just woke up, I am not being blasted through the wall by Twilight until I've at least had a coffee." this comment was met with a moment of silence

"Fair enough," Rainbow said with a shrug as they watched Applejack get up and go to wake up Starlight

"Guy's this is no time for jokes..."Twilight started only for Rainbow to cut her off

"Oh no, that was serious, I almost Threw Starlight out a window when I heard what had happened." Rainbow sat in silence for a second "She teleported out of my hooves before I could tho"

"What!?" Pinkie asked, "Jackie what'd you do!"

"didn't lock the door!" was her sleepy response as she nudged Starlight who muttered

"'m up, 'm up" She muttered sleepily as she turned over in her sleep

"Somepony wake her up, I'll get the coffee."

"I can help darling," Rarity said as she got up

"Thank you" Applejack called as Rarity made her way over to Starlight and proceeded to attempt waking her up.

"Come on Darling, you need to wake up." as she attempted to wake her up Twilight looked outside at the time

"Dangit" She muttered as she got up

"What's up?" Rainbow asked as everypony in the room turned to watch her

"I hear a distinct lack of argument," She said, "and I know for a fact Trixie and Spike stay up so late during their monthly game night that they usually end up sleeping on the floor, I better go wake them..." Twilight stopped when she was engulfed in blue magic. Rarity turned to find Starlight sitting up with guilt written on her face

"You can't do that," She said as she forced Twilight back in her chair

"Starlight, I don't have time for you..."

"You Can't do that" Starlight said sternly as Applejack walked back in with a tray on her back. Rarity levitated it off her back and gave a cup to Starlight as Applejack took one, after a few minutes of silent drinking they finished their drinks

"Ah" Applejack sighed "Alright where do we start...?"

"Trixie and Spike don't exist anymore!" Starlight blurred out. this was followed by silence and Applejack shook her head.

"probably shouldn't have started there."

"WHAT!?" Twilight yelled.

-45 minutes later-

"Applejack and Starlight were personally impressed at their friends for having let them finish the story without trying to kill them.

"...and then she declared revenge and teleported to Celestia knows where" Applejack shrugged looking over at Twilight, who was writing notes to a multitude of ponies, yaks, dragons, and other creatures.

"Why was that Spike's job if you could do it with more efficiency?" Starlight asked Twilight snapped her head over to her and Starlight winced "Shutting up" Starlight amended, sitting in silence as Pinkie worked on a Banner.

"What's that?" Applejack asked.

"Are you joking!?" Pinkie asked grabbing Applejack "Trixike was just born and she didn't get a Birthday Party!" Pinkie placed dramatically "No wonder she's turned evil in less than a day!"

"Pinkie darling I dought that's why it turned evil, from what they've told us it seems to be a series of escalating misunderstanding."

"Trixike, not it" Applejack interjected

"Applejack Darling I love you and your one of my closest friends."

"You're not coming on to her are you?" Rainbow asked with a chuckle, Rarity silenced her with a side glace

"But when the time comes for you to have foals...you probably shouldn't name them if Trixike is any indication of your skills in that regard"

"I Had like 20 seconds to give her a name!" She shot back

"Why not Spixie?" Rarity asked "It flow's better"

"I named her Trixike!" Applejack shot back

"Fine, fine." Rarity said, there was a moment of nothing but quill scratching before Rarity added "Tho when I do meet her I'm definitely running the name change by her."

"Alright," Twilight said stopping all activities at the table "I've written letters to Celestia, Luna, Cadence, Shining, Thorax, Ember, Prince Rutherford, Queen Novo, Princess Skystar, Captain Celaeno and her crew, Capper, Tempest, and even Grubber." she finished as she teleported the individual papers to their respective counterparts "Now," She said turning to Starlight and Applejack, "I think it's time we had a talk"

"If I have one regret in my life" Applejack declared "it was pretty much everything that happened yesterday"

"Applejack I'm not going to kill you." Twilight sighed, Applejack squinted at her then slowly pulled Starlight behind her

"I'm not gonna kill Starlight either" she added and Applejack let her go

"ok good."

"Alright" Twilight motioned to the map "I'm going to Canterlot to see if they..."

"She" Starlight and Applejack corrected

"...They..." Twilight said hardly "...ended up in that area" she turned to Rarity "I need you to search Manhattan for any word on them being there..." she turned to Rainbow

"Cloudsdale?" Rainbow asked

"Cloudsdale" Twilight confirmed "Pinkie you stay here in case they come here, and...." She looked over at Fluttershy's empty seat "Where's Fluttershy?" She asked

"Wait you just noticed she isn't here!?" Rainbow asked "Wow, what a great friend" Twilight looked over at her "She went to get Discord" Rainbow sighed

"Oh...good, and you two," She said turning to Aj and Starlight "Stay here with Pinkie"

"What why do we...." Applejack started

"Because as you just said, it's developed a pretty hard hate boner for you two" Rainbow cut in simply

"Rainbow please," Rarity asked looking over at her "Don't talk like that"

"Oh!" Pinkie said happily "You can help me make it a party!"

"Not to be rude Pinkie," Applejack said bluntly "But I kind of have to work out how Winocore will be staying at the farm."

"And I'm going in case it goes berserk" Starlight added

"Daw" Pinkie sighed as Twilight got up

"Alright everypony, once I've finished in Canterlot I'll be traveling to your locations individually, just in case" as the 6 mares got up Twilight nodded "Let's go find out friends" and with that, the 6 mares spread out.

Meanwhile

Trixike looked at the sight in front of her groggily, her Flower monster had regained movement functions and was trying to move as she sat in front of it

"Having fun?" She asked as she ate from a box of crackers she'd found in the cart "Cause I am" She held up a cracker "want one?" the Flower whipped over in her direction and hissed madly, it's tongue trying to reach her, only to come up far too short "Maybe you should have thought of that before, oh I don't know, you tried to eat me, you bitch" she threw a rock at the flower before looking around the Castel, it was falling apart, and empty "I need some more friends" She decided as she pulled out another handful of crackers to munch on, only to get soaked by a torrent of water from the flower "no more flower's tho, their dicks." she added as she dropped the ruined box of crackers.

Author's Note

Just so no one gets picky with me the line "the 6 mares spread out" Is referring to the 5 members of the Main 6 present and Starlight.
