It was around midnight at Sweet Apple Acres. Applejack was fast asleep in her bed with her Stetson covering her eyes. A figure leapt quietly into her room though an open window, holding a baseball bat in one hand. He tip-toed to Applejack's bedside and raised the bar behind his head. As hard as the figure could, it threw the bat down into Applejack's spine and ribs before swinging it around the back of Applejack's head before leaving, remembering to leave a note, which read:

Dear Rainbooms,
You thought you could outsmart me?! Think again. Your precious Element of Honesty was easy to beat! Try as you might, you won't catch me. Remember this though:
I'm light, I'm dark. I'm everywhere but nowhere. I'm here but not and I'm different temperatures at different times. What am I?

The next morning, the Rainbooms, except Applejack, were standing by the WonderColts statue. "Where's AJ?" Sunset asked.

"Maybe she's been caught up doing chores." Rarity replied.

"But it's not like her to be half an hour late to school." Twilight noted. "Ten minutes, yeah. But not half an hour."

"Should we go to the farm?" Rainbow asked.

Before Fluttershy could mutter a reply, her phone vibrated in her pocket. She brought it out of her pocket and looked at the caller ID. Applejack's little sister was calling her.

Cautiously, Fluttershy accept the call and pressed the phone to her ear. "Apple Bloom? What's the matter?" She asked.

"Y'all better git down ta the farm, Fluttershy." Apple Bloom replied in a shaky voice. "it's about Applejack."

"We're on our way, Apple Bloom." Fluttershy replied before ending the call and turning to her friends. "Apple Bloom wants us down at Sweet Apple Acres. It's about Applejack." She said.

The others gave worried glances at eachother before nodding at Fluttershy and running towards Sweet Apple Acres.
