When they opened it, it was from someone who named themselves T. "Better stop looking who did that or someone you care about is next. -T" "So it is Trixie!" Pinkie concluded. "But why would she make her own dissappearance?" Applejack was cofused. "She was always the one who loved to make a show" Rainbow explained. "But there has to be something more," Twilight didn't agree. "Something we are missing here." "Nope. Pretty sure it is her." Rainbow was sure. "Wouldn't that be too obvious?" Sunset also doubted. "Why would she sign herself with her letter then?" "I don't know," Rarity said. "I am kinda scared because of this threat. Maybe we should just stop and let the police finish it?" "But you will still be their suspect" Applejack added. "And if we tell them about hats Sweetie Belle will be included too. If this really is Trixie then she can not really do much, right?" "We do not know for sure that it is Trixie." "What should we do then?" Applejack asked. "I have an idea. Let's break into office's in school and look at the cameras!" Sunset suggested. "No way! We can't break into it!" Twilight was being reasonable. "Oh come on!" Rainbow complained. "It is the best way to find out what exactly happened!" "Even if we did, we would get caught!" "Then let's do it at night! No one will be in school then." Fluttershy gulped. "At night? In a school where someone was kidnapped in the middle of the day?" "Don't worry, dear, all of us will be there, too!" Rarity tried to calm her down. Twilight sighed. "Fine, when will we do it?" Later, during night "Oh, I have a bad feeling about this!" Fluttershy said. "Tell me about it!" Twilight replied. "I am scared we will get caught." "Oh come on!" Rainbow interrupted. "You will just delete the footage when we are here. No worries." "No worries for you maybe" Fluttershy was scared. "This place is super scary at dark." "You got that right!" Applejack was looking around scared with her flashlight. Rainbow looked at her. "Are you scared, Aj?" "What? Me? Huh, pft, nooo! Why would I... be...scared?" Applejack was embarrased. "It is normal to be scared, you don't have to be embarrassed of it." Rainbow Dash took her hand. "Does that help?" Rainbow casually asked. "Uh, yes. Thanks." Applejack smiled at her and she nodded and gave small smile back. Seeing Applejack didn't listen to her advice about staying away from jocks, Twilight facepalmed. The girls entered the office. "Alright, let me just check the cameras" Twilight said. The girls gathered around Twilight. "Guys?" Twilight was terrified. "Someone is here! They are coming to office!" "Quick! Turn it off! Everyone hide!" Rainbow said. "I can't turn it off that fast, they are just around the corner!" "WHAT?!" Applejack was in panic. Suddenly a mysterious figure appeared. All the girls jumped on him. "Ah!" the person screamed. Twilight turned the lights on. "Professor Discord?!" everyone was shocked. "Who?" Applejack did not recognize him. "Ouch!" Discord said. "Phew!" everyone was relieved. "Why? What is all of this?" Discord was confused. "Heh, we just thought you were a crazy kidnapper" Rainbow explained. "Yall do know he could still be a kidnapper?" Applejack was still confused. "Nah, that's Discord!" Pinkie said. "Did you just call a teacher only by name?!" Twilight said. "That is okay, professor is too formal. I like it more when everyone calls me by name." "He is a super nice teacher who gets on really well with everyone." Fluttershy explained to Applejack. "I also heard he likes chaos in his classes." Twilight whispered. "I do like chaos." "And he heard me." "What do you teach? I am new here so I do not really know." "Pft, YOU are the new student? I thought it would be someone who looked more like a ner--- I teach phylosophy." "Well, back to the cameras!" Twilight said. "What are you all doing here anyway?" "We could be asking you the same question" Applejack replied. "This is my job. I have left my phone here so I came back for it." "And we are trying to solve a mystery of why Trixie is gone" Fluttershy explained. "Oh wow. Alright but if anyone asks I was not here and do not know anything." "Alright." everyone confirmed. "Please don't get caught!" he said while exiting. After a short while Twilight found the footage. There was a random person who covered their head with the hat, a scarf and was wearing a big brown coat. "They hid too well, we can't know who that is" Applejack said dissapointed. "Wait a bit now, darling" Rarity stopped her. "We could pay more attention to who owns that coat and scarf!" "But many people could have it." "True but they probably don't have both." "Great!" Rainbow Dash was sarcastic. "Our only lead is a bad quality photo of a scarf and a coat!" All the girls got a text from an unknown number. "I have told you to stay away. You are now responsible for what happens next. -T" "Seriously if this is Trixie I will personally push her" Rarity was angry. "I am scared." Fluttershy commented. "Who knows what that could even mean" Twilight said. "We need to be careful." Applejack replied. The girls successfully exited the school and deleted footage of them. "Now what?" Rainbow asked. "We head home and see what happens tomorrow?" Pinkie replied with a question. "What if one of us or somebody we love dissappears?" Applejack was worrying. "We need to be careful!" Sunset said. They all went their homes. The next morning. Applejack came to breakfast and was very relieved to see all of her family safe and well. "Morning!" she happily greeted them. "Oh, pancakes?" "Eyup!" "So how is it in your new school Applejack?" Granny asked. "Did you finally find some friends?" "Oh, it is great so far! And yes... I guess we are friends." Applejack smiled to herself at the thought of finally having real friends. "And did someone caught your eye?" Apple Bloom was curious. "What do ya mean?" "Oh, you know what I mean!" As she realized what Apple Bloom was asking she quickly replied, "yes! I mean no! I mean maybe!" "So someone did, I knew you are happier and up in the clouds!" "We have only known each other for 2 days, but I guess you can say someone did caught my eye." "Oh really? What's her name?" "I gotta go. Don't wanna be late for school!" "Of course you don't when there is an awesome somebody you will talk to today!" "See ya!" "Have fun!" Applejack came to the school bit earlier and saw her new friends around Rarity who was crying. "Hey, what happened? Rarity, are you okay?" "No." she was crying loudly. And Applejack was shocked as she then said, "Sweetie Belle is GONE!" Unusual Crew"Good morning students!" sadly said the principal who was giving speech to her students. "I have a sad news today. Unfotunately, our school will have to close. We don't have enough money to keep it going and it was bought by a private company." "What?! Oh no!" students were shocked. "But don't worry, we will give you a list of other high schools you can transport to! Please everyone proceed to my office, I will call you one by one to fill the papers." There was a whole school in front of principal's office. Among them was Applejack. She was still shocked at the news and thought about where should she go now. "Applejack Apple please enter my office!" said the principal. Applejack got up and entered. "There are bunch of students waiting and we need to do this fast because we only have until tomorrow to transport all students and give them the school." "Alright." Applejack looked at the list and didn't know where to go. She saw a name Canterlot High. She remembered her distant cousin Pinkie Pie goes there and it's not that far away from home. "I'll go to Canterlot High." "Really? Are you sure? No one else will probably go there. There are much more popular schools." "I know but I would like to go there." "As you wish." All of this continued all through the day. The next day Applejack got up early. She didn't want to miss out on her first day at new school. She was feeling very nervous. She got there early too! She went to the principal Celestia's office. "Good morning!" she entered. "Oh, good morning! You must be Applejack, right?" "Yeah, Applejack Apple." "I am principal Celestia! We are very happy to welcome you here." Celestia introduced herself. "Class will soon start, here is your schedule." "Thank you." "I am very busy at the moment but let me introduce you, this is Twilight Sparkle, she will answer all your questions if you have any and show you around school." "Hello!" Twilight greeted her. "Hi!" "I am sorry, please excuse me now, I have to go." Celestia said. "And remember my doors are always open if you need me!" Applejack and Twilight were walking around school. "You are gonna love it here!" Twilight said. "In this school you'll gain a lot of knowledge that will be helpful later. And you will definetly have fun studying all of these." "Uh, right... I hope so." "You don't like studying?" "Not really." "Ah, that's okay. I guess not everyone wants to be a scientist and spends whole days learning, experimenting and reading." "Wow! As long as you have fun! What kind of science are you interested in the most?" "Oh, that's easy! Definetly chemistry! I simply love it!" "That's cool!" "What do you like to do in your free time?" "I usually spend time on my family's apple farm. Otherwise I love to hang out with people." "You must have plenty of friends." "Heh, not really, people in my last school were only interested in popularity." "Ah, I know how you feel. Most people here are too." Twilight sighed. "Only actual real friends I have are my dog Spike and my family." "Well, look on the bright side. We both gained a new friend today." "Yeah!" Twilight smiled happily. Twilight continued showing her around. "THEY ARE COMING!" someone yelled. "Who is coming?" Applejack was confused. "Oh no!" Twilight pulled her aside. "The jocks! Just turn around and don't look them in the eyes. Try not to ever get on their bad side." "Uh..." A group of people dressed all in the same jacket passed by. They looked cool but everyone feared them. In the bunch there was a rainbow haired girl. The just passed by and left in their direction. "Woah!" Applejack said. "Who was that rainbow haired girl?" "Uh, you mean Rainbow Dash? She is the team captain!" "She is gorgeous!" "She does seem to make many boys and girls fall for her although she is only interested in girls. But I think you should stay away from all of them, I heard rumors about them being bad news and changing who they date often and based on popularity. You'll only get your heart broken." "Only rumors?" "Well, no one knows for sure but better safe then sorry." Then continued walking. A pink haired girl passed near them. "Hey Twilight! Hi Applejack!" Pinkie said while being in a hurry. They both greeted her. "You already know Pinkie Pie?" "She is my cousin." "Oh! Wow that's really cool! She literally knows EVERYONE!" They were soon finished with touring the school. "Soon we will go to my favourite place!" "Cafeteria?" "No! Library!" "Oh..." "You'll like it there's plenty of books for everyone!" They reached the library. "And here is the library!" Twilight said happily but soon she started staring at a girl surfing the net. She had a red blondr hair. "Uh, Twilight?" "Yes? What? Yes? Were you saying something, I kindaa got distraced." Twilight blushed. "I think science chemistry is not the only chemistry you do." Applejack joked. "Oh no, I... we... uf..." "You have a crush on her?" "Is it that obvious?" "Yes. But that's so sweet. Did you tell her?" "What? Of course not! That's Sunset Shimmer the smartest and most caring girl EVER! She also truly has a smile of an angel!" "Aw, that's adorable! I hope she likes you back!" "MOVE! We need to pass by!" Trixie said. "Excuse me?" Applejack turned around. "Ugh, is that the new girl? She literally has no fashion taste!" Trixie noticed. "And you met the cheerleaders" Twilight sighed. "Oh come on, Trixie. It's nothing that can't be fixed." Rarity said. "Besides that farm girl look looks good on her!" "Thanks." "Ugh!" Trixie complained. "You're welcome, darling. Welcome to Canterlot High. I am Rarity, soon to be cheerleader captain." Rarity said as Applejack and her shaked hands. "Ugh! If you really think you'll buy popularity and spot as captain by being nice then you are wrong!" Trixie said. "I am just being myself. Besides, I don't think captain should be rude like you are!" "I am not rude, just teaching everyone their place!" "So that's how you call being rude in your language?" "Let's go." Twilight told Applejack. "We don't wanna stay in this fight. They are competing to be a captain so it's always like this." "Okay, let's go." Later they were heading to eat lunch. "Angel no!" Fluttershy yelled. "Everyone look out! Bunny on the lose!" "Bunny what?" Applejack turned as Angel jumped on her. "Ah!" "Don't worry he only bites if you're scared." "What?!" "Let me help take him off!" Twilight tried to help. "What's going on here?" Luna was angry. "All 3 of you detention!" "What? No? Please, it's all a misunderstanding!" Twilight said. "Yes, it wasn't their fault!" Fluttershy added. "I don't care who's fault it is. Bunnies are forbidden in school. All of you get detention. I am not in the mood today." Luna left. And Twilight started to panic. "Oh no, this will ruin my whole life!" "No it won't. I am sure you're a great student. It's just one detention." Applejack tried to reassure her. "Yeah, don't worry. It won't affect you." Fluttershy also tried to help. "That's what they always lie about!" Later that day Applejack, Fluttershy and Twilight entered library where detention was held. Few minutes after Rarity and Pinkie came in too. "How did you two end up here?" Applejack was suprised. "Oh, don't even ask. Trixie and me got into another fight." "And I handed them pies so they can solve it as they do in my family!" Pinkie shruged. Sunset entered the room too. "Hi everyone!" "You ended up here too?" Pinkie was shocked. "I thought you don't cause trouble anymore." "I don't. It was an accident." "If you say so." "Perfect! Now you all need to be here for an hour. Do whatever but you aren't allowed to go out of this library!" Luna said. "Ugh, where is Rainbow Dash?" "Yo!" Rainbow entered the room. "Sorry I'm late Luna!" "Call me Luna once again and you'll get another detention!" "Wow chill. No need for anger." "Anyway, one whole hour here. The librarian will keep an eye on you." Luna said as she left the library. Librarian sat on the chair. "My life is ruined!" Twilight was still in panic. "Oh relax!" Rainbow said. "This is my fifth time being in detention in last 2 weeks. It isn't that bad!" "Easy for you to say!" They continued to sit in silence. Sunset continued to read a book she was reading earlier in the library, Rarity was reading a magazine, Twilight studying, and Pinkie and Fluttershy quietly talked. "Are you the new girl?" Rainbow asked. "Yeah. Name's Applejack!" "Nice to meet ya, Aj! I'm Rainbow! How do you like it around here so far? I see you have already gotten in trouble." Rainbow joked. "Are you really that bad?" "No, I don't usually cause trouble. This was a... bunny accident." "Too bad. If you ever want to change that you can join me in pranking others. I would love to spend time with you!" "Oh please no!" Rarity joined. "There are plenty of other ways to hang out! I don't need another person constantly pranking us. Especially if my hair and clothes have to suffer after!" "What? Blue hair was in fashion then!" Rainbow defended herself. "No, it was not!" "Oh well, all's good now." "No, it is not." "Uh, can you please not fight? You will distrub Angel." Fluttershy asked. "And I am trying to read." Sunset said. "Ugh, fine!" Rainbow said. Some time later librarian fell asleep. "FINALLY!" Rainbow was happy. "We are free to go now!" "What? No!" Twilight said. "You can't just leave!" "Suit yourself, I am going!" Suddenly a scream was heard. The girls went outside and saw everyone around a note on the wall. "It says they kidnapped Trixie!" random girl said. "And that one of us is next unless we give them something they called a magical stone!" "A magical stone? What could that be?" Applejack was confused and terrified. They wore a hatAuthor's Note I know many did not like last chapter but I am having fun writing this story and some people did like it so I am continuing this story :D They wore a hat "Alright move!" later the police arrived. "All of you will be asked questions, please stay away from the message and wait!" The girls went back to wait at the library. They saw a random brown hat on the floor. A hat Rarity remembered she designed and sold few people. The next day "Good morning students!" Celestia was talking to the school. "As you all know yesterday a horrible thing has happened, our student Trixie was kidnapped. I assure you there is no need to panic as police is solving this mystery already." "We are working hard to find your friend" a policeman said. "We saw on security cameras that whoever did this wore this brown hat we later found in the library. If you know anything about it please let us know." Later at lunch. Applejack, Twilight, Pinkie, Fluttershy and Rarity were sitting down at the table. "I guess then we have nothing to worry about, right? Since police will solve it." Applejack said. "I don't know about that. I am pretty scared." Rarity replied. "I was asked questions about Trixie's and mine fight." "Are you scared they will suspect you?" Fluttershy wondered. "Well yes, but also that someone else is going to be kidnapped." "I just don't understand," Twilight said, " why would anybody do that to her?" "Because they are her competition for captain spot?" Rainbow joined them. "Oh please stop it!" Rarity was getting annoyed. "She was rude to everyone. Literally anyone could be responsible for that." "Since when do you all sit with us regular mortals." Sunset was suprised as she sat down with them. "Hey, I just came here hoping you would be brave enough to join me in solving this mystery." Rainbow said. "Seems like an adventure." "And I came to make sure you won't tell them I made the hat." Rarity said. "Wouldn't that help them solve it?" Fluttershy asked. "It would also make me look even more suspicious. I really don't need that." "Perfect!" Rainbow said. "Then we are the only ones who are able to solve this mystery. We have the clue!' "Absolutely not!" Twilight complained. "We need to tell the police!" "I don't know, it would make Rarity look bad." Applejack said. "What if they somehow come to conclusion she is the one who did it?" "Well did you?" Pinkie suspiciously asked Rarity. "No!" Rarity replied. "I'm in!" everyone turned to Sunset. "Solving this mystery seems like a fun adventure." "But wouldn't that get you into more trouble?" Twilight asked. "Especially since some people used to think you're bad." "Some still do think you're bad." Fluttershy looked at Sunset with suspicion. "Eh, I'll risk it. Sometimes you have to do things you want to without fearing what others will think of you, Twilight. It's your life after all and people who matter to you will love you anyway." Twilight thought about that. "Alright, I'm in too!" "Wow, even Twilight Sparkle will join us in this rule breaking." Rainbow was suprised. "It's not that big rule breaking..... right?" "Nah, it will be fun!" Pinkie replied. "I am also in!" "I am, of course, in" Rarity also added. "We need to get to the real truth and not let anyone innocent be accussed." "Me too! I wanna join!" Applejack said. "It looks like it will be an adventure. Besides all of you are joining too!" Fluttershy sighed. "I guess that means I will too." "Great!" Rainbow was happy. "Let's all meet up later then to discuss it. I need to go to my team now." "Come to my botique at 6." Rarity said. Later at Rarity's botique. "So I made 3 of these hats. One is with Sweetie Belle, one was bought by Spitfire and one by Flash Sentry." Sunset eyerolled. "Of course my ex would be involved." "Well Flash wasn't the one who was school bully..." Fluttershy complained. "What do you even have against me? Do you still think I'm mean?" "Well you were pretty rude to me." "I apologized, and I have changed." "I don't know about that..." "Can we please focus on removing my name from suspects" Rarity said. "I mean, solving this mystery." "Okay we are all from different school groups, we can find out anything from anyone." Rainbow said. "I'll ask Spitfire, Rarity you ask Sweetie Belle and someone will need to go ask Flash." "Not me." Sunset instantly said. "No one else knows him" Rainbow noticed. "I do!" Pinkie smiled. "Awesome, Pinkie can you do it then?" "Sure!" Tomorrow they met at Rainbow's home. "Well, I can't believe I was actually invited to your house." Twilight was suprised. "Wow Rainbow!" Applejack was also suprised. "You really have a lot of throphies and medals." "Yeah, I really love sports!" "Oh really? Do you plan to do it as your job?" "Uh huh! My dream has always been to become a member of the Wonderbolts, best football team in the world!" "That's sounds amazing! I am sure you will make it!" "Thanks!" Rainbow smiled. "What about you? What are your future plans?" "Well I will probably lead family apple farm. I also like baking treats from apples." "Sweet!" "You sure do have a lot of photos of yourself around the house" Twilight noticed. "Hey, my parents put those here, not me." "They must be very proud then." "They are. But we aren't here to talk about that, what did you guys find out?" Rainbow asked. "I found out Flash still has his hat" Pinkie said. "Also that they will not be doing taco tuesdays in school anymore." "What? No fair!" Everyone was shocked. "Spitfire also still has the hat with her, she was actually wearing it." Rainbow explained. Rarity sighed. "Then I guess it was Sweetie Belle's..." "Can you explain a bit more?" Sunset asked. "Sweetie Belle borrowed someone this hat. They have never returned it." "But who did she borrow it to?" Fluttershy and other were curious. "That's the thing," Rarity said. "She borrowed it to Trixie." "WHAT?" everyone was shocked. Of conflicts and fightsThe girls comforted Rarity. After class they all met at the library. Rarity wasn't there. "This is kinda getting out of hand" Applejack was talking with Rainbow. "Tell me about it, so much has happened in the last 3 days." "If nothing at least all of us became friends!" "Huh?" "I mean all of this danger and mystery that we are in brought us together." "I guess you are right. I didn't really think too much about it. I guess you could say we became friends." There was a short comfortable silence before Applejack broke it. "Hey can I ask you something?" Applejack asked. "You just did." "You know what I mean!" "I was just joking. Of course you can!" "I'm just curious, do you maybe have a girlfriend?" "Why?" Rainbow was amused. "Are you interested?" she teased her. "I was only curious." "Suree" she said. "And no, I don't. I recently broke up with my ex." "Oh, I'm sorry." "Nah, don't be. We really didn't get along at all!" "Oh!" Another short silence. "Mind if I ask, did you have a lot of girlfriends in the past?" "Did Twilight tell you that?" Rainbow eyerolled. "I did but not because I used people or anything like that. It's just... I guess you could say I need someone who can keep up with me. It is also hard to find someone who is loyal and honest!" "Oh!" Applejack said. "I am sorry if the question was too judging. I hope you're not angry." She was uncomfortable. "Nah, of course not! It's chill really. People often think that. And I know you didn't mean anything bad about it, you were just wondering to make sure I am not a player since you have an obvious crush on me." "I... uh... what? I mean...." Rarity suddenly entered the library and interrupted their conversation. "Whoever this is we need to destroy them!" Rarity was angry. "Woah, slow down! Maybe we should just quit and let the police handle it?" Twilight was being reasonable. "Absolutely not! They kidnapped my sister! We need to find her! They won't be able to do that!" "And why would we be able to do it if they can't?" Fluttershy asked. "I... don't know." "Look, let's all just calm down" Applejack said. "I can't calm down!" "I know, Rarity. And that's reasonable. But we need to figure out what is best for us." Applejack replied. "If we continue, there is a big chance someone else will be kidnapped" Sunset said. "So you're saying our only option is to let the police do it?" Rainbow asked. "I'm afraid so." Suddenly they all got a text. "You played with fire, there is no escape now. If you go to police, I'll make sure many more are lost. Now you're playing by my rules or else your good friend T will make sure police sees Rarity is to blame. -T" They all were shocked. "Does anybody else feel like forever locking themselves in room and crying or is that just me?" Fluttershy was scared. "What should we do?" Pinkie asked. "I guess we have no other option..." Rainbow noticed. Later, the girls exited the police station after telling them everything. "Are you absolutely positive they can't blame me?" Rarity asked. "We showed them the texts. They will see someone is trying to set you up." Sunset said. And then there was silence. "So uh," Applejack broke the silence, "what do we do now?" "Well, we did everything we could." Sunset said. "Too bad there wasn't more mystery and action." Rainbow added. "Hopefully soon we will find out the truth" Applejack said. "At least we know it is not any of us!" "Oh, I would not be so sure about that" Fluttershy said. "Is this about me being bad in the past again?" Sunset joined. "I have told you, I don't believe you have changed." "Ugh! You know what? I am out of here. We tried and did what we did. Now we wait for police to inform us. See you all around!" Sunset walked away angrily. "Well done" Twilight was not pleased. "You were not attending our school when she was at her worst, you don't know how she treated everyone." "But I do know she changed! I know she is truly a good person now!" "Guys just stop fighting" Rainbow interrupted. "We have bigger problems." "I think I will just go home" Rarity was sad. "See you all around in the hallways." "Yeah, I guess it is time to go home" Pinkie said. "Hey wait! Don't go away!" Applejack stopped them. "We are still friends right? Let's do something to get our minds of of this." "I really appreciate it Applejack but I would rather be alone now" Rarity said. "And as far as I know we only got together to find out what happened to Trixie" Fluttershy said. "I'm sorry but I don't think I can be friends with Sunset." "And I can't be friends with someone who disrespects her" Twilight added. "Also someone who used me to write her homework." "You know well enough I did not do that!" Rainbow said. "Do you have something against me?" "UGH!" "What?" "You know why I've said that!" "No! I literally don't! Why don't you explain it a bit?" "I... I need to go to babysit my niece right now." Twilight replied sadly. "Maybe some other time... if there ever will be one." She walked away sadly. "Well if everyone else is going, I am going away too!" Rainbow said. She paused and looked at Applejack. She opened her mouth as if she was about to speak but then closed it. "Uhh, we could still hang out, right?" Applejack asked her. "Sure thing. You are cool!" "Thanks!" Applejack was relieved. "See you tomorrow then?" "Yeah, see ya! Bye you two!" Rainbow also left. "Too bad we just fell apart, we really made a fun group." Pinkie added. "But I guess it happens." Applejack sighed. "I thought we would stay friends after this. It was really great finally having friends." "Don't be sad. You never know, maybe they will work things out. Besides, even if they don't they are all still friends with you!" "I guess you are right. Now only time will tell." Applejack went home sadly. Author's Note Thank you for reading! Feel free to leave your opinion in the comments And yes, I too am wondering what in the world did I just write lmao StrongApplejack was walking down the hallway. Alone. It was lunch time and she still didn't manage to speak with either of her friends. She entered cafeteria. All the girls were sitting with their own group. All but Rarity and Twilight who were sitting together alone at the table in silence. Applejack went to them. "Mind if I join?" she asked them. "Nope." Twilight replied. "Go ahead." Rarity agreed. Applejack sat down and started eating in silence. After few minutes she broke the silence. "How are you holding up Rarity?" "Fine, I guess. I still don't want to talk much, I really would like to be alone." "Alright. But if you need anything you can count on me, alright?" Applejack wanted to help. "I know darling" Rarity slowly looked at the time. "I think I should go get ready for the next class. See you later!" "See ya!" Applejack waved her goodbye as she left. Applejack and Twilight continued to eat in silence until Applejack finally spoke, "Can I ask about Rainb--" "No!" Twilight roughly said, picked up her things and started leaving. She turned around and added more softly, "Please don't." Applejack continued to eat in silence, alone. Applejack was walking down the hallway. Alone. It was lunch time and she finished eating so she went to take a walk. "Really too bad you already are losing your friends. I would have thought you would fit in better and managed to keep them together." A strange voice came out of nowhere. Applejack sighed, "Please, not now Trixie!" she recognized the voice. "WAIT! TRIXIE?!" Applejack turned around but no one was there anymore. "That was creepy! Gave me chills too!" a voice said. Applejack turned around and was relieved to see Discord. "You saw Trixie there too, right?" "Did I?" "Uhm..." Applejack was confused. "What do you think who kidnapped her?" "Well sometimes the answer is right under our nose but we just don't seem to notice it." "So you do know?" "Hm, do I?" he started walking away. "Wait! Is it you?" "No. But someone very close, always near. I already said too much! Gotta go!" Discord left. Applejack stood confused for few moments. Then she continued to walk to her next class. At PE, they were running. Applejack and Rainbow were the fastest. "Wow, you are the first who can keep up with me!" Rainbow was suprised. "Others are usually way behind. Like they are now. Do you do any sport?" "Nope, only work a lot on the farm." "Oh that's cool!" "Not really, I would prefer to bake and develop my cooking skills further." "I am sure you will." Rainbow replied. "Apple! Dash! Less talking, more running!" profesor said. At home Applejack and Apple Bloom were in the kitchen making dinner. "And basically now they aren't talking with each other." Applejack explained but left out whole T part. "I would really like them to get along and for us all to be friends. I think we would be great ones, they just need to work out their past conflicts and judgements." "Well why don't you try talking to each?" Apple Bloom said. "You could find out why are they talking as they are and maybe convince them to be friends again?" "That's not a bad idea at all! Thanks Apple Bloom!" "No problem, sis!" Early in the morning Rarity was getting ready for school. Someone knocked. "Come in!" Rarity yelled. "Rarity! We are going to find Sweetie Belle!" Applejack entered. "Applejack, darling, what are you doing so early here? And how in the world will we find Sweetie Belle?" "We all need to work together, we will figure something out then!" "And how will we bring everyone together? They can not stand each other!" "Wrong! They just have past...misunderstandings and we are going to help them make up!" "Well.... I can't simply say no since you came with such confidence and all. Especially since your eyes sparkle with so much hope when you say that." "Oh! Well, you won't regret it!" Fluttershy was spending time with her animals at animal shelter. Applejack and Rarity came. "Hi Fluttershy!" "Oh hello!" "We want you to tell us why do you hate Sunset so much?" "And that's how she completly destroyed my animal shelter. I had to rebuild it whole!" Fluttershy finished her story. "Woah!" Applejack was shocked. "But did she ever apologize?" Applejack asked. "Well she did.. she even offered to take care of animals and did rescue a lot of them... I just don't trust her." "Why don't you give her a chance? People change with a lot of hard work and effort. She seems to have done just that. Don't you think people who try so hard and really make it up and are truly sorry deserve second chance?" Applejack said. "They might suprise you." "You're righrt!" Fluttershy replied. "And I guess I did overdo it with no second chances no matter how good you are now thing. I guess I wasn't the best person either." "It's alright, darling, we are all humans, we all make mistakes." Rarity said. "It is important to learn from them!" "You're right! I am gonna go apologize to Sunset right now!" Applejack entered bathroom and closed and locked the door. Only Twilight was there. "Uhm why did you do that?" Twilight was confused. "We need to talk." Applejack replied. "I am not talking about Rainbow!" "That is alright. I won't force you into anything. I just want to know is there any chance you two make up and be friends?" Twilight sighed. "I don't think so." Twilight sighed again. "Actually allow me to tell you why we can't." "So wait let me see if I got it right," Applejack was shocked. "You had a crush on Rainbow and she made you believe she did on you too and then just used you to do a project with her so she gets an A and broke your heart?" "Yes." "I want to hear the other side of the story too." Author's Note I still dont know what am I doing lmao so dont ask Of Broken Hearts"What? No! Why ever would I flirt with Twilight just so I get an A??" Rainbow was shocked. "Wait, is that what she thinks? Is that why she hates me?" "I think a big misunderstanding happened." Applejack replied. "Yeaaah.... no." Rarity added. They both turned around. "You were definetly flirting with Twilight at some point." "I was not!" Rainbow replied. "Oh really? Next you're going to tell me is you didn't kiss her either!" Rarity was getting annoyed. "I--- okay maybe I was! But I didn't use her for a project!" Rainbow was angry. "Besides it was a long time ago." "Can somebody please explain to me what happened?" Applejack was annoyed. "Fine!" Rainbow sighed. "I liked Twilight, we had something but didn't officially date and I decided to end it up because I can't date a nerd, I would be kicked off team." "Yikes!" Applejack was shocked. "Yeah, well team members aren't exactly nice people. And it was stupid from me to do that. Today I would leave the team but I was just some lost freshman back then." "So how does project fit into that?" Applejack asked. Rainbow's eyes widened as realization hit her. "I think I told her I don't want to date her right after our big project presentation. Heh." Applejack facepalmed. "Great timing as always, Rainbow!" Rarity complained. "Hey, I didn't think she would take it the wrong way!" "I think you own her an explanation." Applejack said. "Yeah, I'll go find her now." "Wait!" Applejack stopped her. "Do you... still like her?" "No. As I've said it was 3 years ago. I actually... like someone else now." she blushed and looked at Applejack. "Oh, good to know." Applejack also blushed. "Seriously?" they both turned to Rarity observing them. "Actually nevermind, I'll let people handle their stuff on their own." They both looked at her confused as she started walking away. Twilight was reading in the library. Rainbow slide at the seat in front of Twilight's. "No." "Please!" Twilight sighed. "Alright. Let's hear your completly reasonable explanation." "Fluttershy, where are professor's rooms?" Applejack asked. "Uhm, down this hall. But if you're looking for Discord you should know he didn't come today to work. Which is very strange he is always here." "Wait, really? Oh no, maybe he did say too much." "What?" "I will tell you later, gotta find Rarity!" "And it was really stupid of me to do that and today I would do it much much differently. Being in the team is not worth it. I don't know if anything is worth losing people you love and ones who care about you and love you too. There is no excuse for what I did and I am sorry I didn't explain it back then. If I did maybe things would be different and we would get throught that. I am sorry I broke your heart." Twilight stared in shock. She didn't know what to say. "I... wow, that IS a reasonable explanation. I guess..." "Heh." "You could have told me that, you know? We would figure something out!" "Yeah, I know that now." Twilight thought for few moments then said, "I forgive you." "What?" "I forgive you, thanks for being honest with me. I guess after all this time I just really needed an explanation as to why you did that. Maybe if you explained it back then we would be something more now but I hope we can be friends from now on and not hate each other?" "I would love that!" Rainbow said as they hugged. "Uhh guys?" they turned around and found Sunset standing, her eyes filled with guilt. "Uh, I guess there is something I should tell you." Sunset said embarrassed. "Rarity!" Applejack almost bumped and knocked them both on the floor. "Yes?" "We need to go to Discord's place!" "Right now?" "The sooner the better." "But why?" Rarity was confused. "Remember how I told you what he told me?" Rarity nodded at that. "Well he didn't show up at work today and he always comes." "He does always come. Should we invite someone else to come?" "They have their own problems now. We will just text them where we are!" "Alright!" Rarity said as they both escaped school. "You? Did? WHAT?!" Rainbow was angry. "I threatened your team memebers to tell you you can't date nerds or else you will be kicked out so you don't date Twilight." Sunset said really fast. "But why would you do that?" Twilight was shocked. Sunset took deep breath and said fastly, "because I have had a crush on you, Twilight!" Both stared at shock. "Fluttershy!" Pinkie called her out in the hallway. "Ah!" Fluttershy jumped. "Hey, Pinkie! What's up?" "Rarity texted me saying her and Applejack went to Discord's. Something about missing people." "Should we go and help them?" "They said they could handle it but let's inform others too!" Fluttershy nodded. "Alright here we go!" Applejack knocked at Discord's door. They both recieved a message from T. "Knowing secrets is hard, spilling them to others cost. You won't find your teacher here. -T" "I am officially terrified!" Rarity said. "Me too, sugarcube. Me too." "You had a crush on Twilight too?" Rainbow was first to break silence. "I did. And I am so sorry, I really was a horrible person then and I understand if you don't want to talk to me anymore but you should know I changed and I would do anything to make it up to you!" Twilight and Rainbow looked at each other and nodded. "No need!" Rainbow said. "Yeah, we forgive you" Twilight added. "You do?" "Of course! We know you changed and it's okay, it's in the past now." Twilight reassured her. "I'm just glad we cleared this up." Rainbow said. They all hugged. "Huray for friendship!" Pinkie and Fluttershy ran into the library. "Girls!" "Shhh!" said the librarian. "Sorry." Fluttershy apologized. They came to others. "We found this note in Discord's teacher office. It says "It is someone from school."" Fluttershy showed them. "And by the looks of what he said to Applejack, it looks like he was talking about missing people and all of that." Pinkie added and filled them up on the story. "Maybe we can get to the bottom of this after all!" Rainbow got her hopes up. "I just got a text from Applejack to meet at her place, let's go!" Sunset said. They all started leaving. "Wait Sunset!" Twilight called her. "Can I just ask you something?" "Sure! Go ahead!" "Do you maybe still have a crush on me?" Author's Note Huraay for friendship! I apologize for mistake, I accidentally wrote Discord is a janitor We Got This Together"I..." Sunset was scared. "Yeah, I do." She was also very nervous. "Really?" Twilight's face lit up and she got really happy. "I have a crush on you too!" "Really? I... do you want to maybe go on a date sometime?" "I would love to!" they both smiled. They were exiting the library and as they were doing so, Sunset bit her lip and took Twilight's hand in hers. As Twilight smiled at that, she relaxed and they continued to walk holding hands. "I know we can solve this if we work together!" Applejack said. "Yeah, we can!" Rainbow agreed. "And now we are finally actually working together!" Fluttershy was happy. "Oh this is so great! We all are finally friends!" Pinkie was happy. "We just need to figure out who had a motive to do this!" Twilight said. "And then we will eliminate suspects one by one until we find who is to blame." Sunset added. "Well let's start, who would do something like this?" Applejack asked. "I say it is Trixie!" Rarity said. "She really wanted to be a captain and she would do anything to get there, even if it meant faking her own disappearence and then coming back and gaining votes because everyone was worried about her." "Nah, I say it is Spitfire. Football captain never liked Trixie, she was just annoying her." Rainbow explained. "But wait how does Sweetie Belle fit into all of this?" Applejack pointed out. "Clearly to hurt me" Rarity explained. "And Sweetie Belle wanted on team so badly but Spitfire never let her. Sweetie Belle was trying to get it posted in school's magazine so it got Spitfire very angry." Rainbow said. "Alright, any other ideas?" Applejack asked. "Nope!" Twilight said. "Not really" "Let's just start from here then and see where it takes us." Applejack suggested and everyone agreed. "But wait? What about Discord?" Fluttershy asked. "He was probably in the wrong place at the wrong time and saw or heard something." Sunset said. "Yeah, that does sound like Discord" Pinkie confirmed. "We have a big game today Spitfire will definetly be there." Rainbow said. "How about someone sneaks to her house and checks if they can find anyone or any evidence." "We are not doing that!" Twilight was shocked. "I don't want to end up in jail." "Do you have any better idea?" "Uh, not really." "Then we go with my plan. Spitfire lives alone, we get in and out fast and no one will know." "What about Trixie's house?" Sunset asked. "Right." Rainbow said. "How about this Sunset and Twilight go to Spitfire's, Pinkie and Fluttershy to Trixie's and Applejack and Rarity will help me keep an eye on Spitfire? We will be in contact all the time." Everybody agreed. "Oh great..." Twilight wasn't pleased. "It will be fine Twilight. We will be fast and no one will know." Sunset reassured her. "We need to find out who kidnapped them." "I hope you're right." 15 minutes before game the team finished last warm up. People were arriving. "Alright team! We need to give our best today! It is the most important game of the year!" Spitfire said. "I know we all can do it! Now let's go get ready!" Rainbow sneaked out to talk to others. "I took Spitfire's keys" Applejack said. "Great! Let's start then!" Rainbow said. "I have a bad feeling about this." Twilight said. "Me too." Fluttershy added. "Don't worry guys, it will be fine." Rainbow said. The game started. Rarity and Applejack were in the crowd, Rainbow on the field and others went to inspect the houses. Pinkie and Fluttershy knocked on Trixie's door. Her mother opened it. "Yes?" "Hi! We sre Trixie's friends from school." Pinkie started. "We actually borrowed her a notebook before... she dissapppeared and we really need it back, you know for class. Can we maybe go and take it?" "Yeah, sure. I really need to go now but go ahead. I remember you, Pinkie, you were here so many times. Just please turn the lights on when you leave." "Okie dokie." They entered. "Well that was easy." Fluttershy said. "Too easy." Pinkie was suspicious. Sunset and Twilight got into Spitfire's apartment after investigating the basement. "Alright, where do we start?" Twilight was nervous. "How about I go check the living room while you check the bedroom? We need to be fast and return before game finishes so we get the keys back." "Yeah." "Perfect!" Applejack said after recieving the text. "They all got in!" "That's amazing. And we still have 40 minutes." Rarity said. Suddenly someone accidentally hit Spitfire and knocked her on the floor. She was replace and taken aside. "Oh no, I hope she won't search for her keys." Applejack said while Rarity facepalmed. "I found nothing." Fluttershy said. "Why don't we check the basement?" Pinkie suggested. "The b-basement?" "Yeah, don't worry. I am sure nothing is in there." "There is nothing here." Twilight sighed. "Yeah, here neither. Just trophies, CDs and books." Suddenly they got a text. "I told you to stay out of it. Now you'll have to pay the price. -T" "Oh no! We have to warn the others!" Twilight panicked. "I don't have any signal here!" Sunset also panicked. "Me neither!" "Let's go! I'll drive us there on my motorbike." It was half of the game. Rainbow sneaked out to talk to Applejack and Rarity. "What do you mean you haven't heard from them for a while?" Rainbow was worried. "We didn't, no one is answering." Applejack replied. "Maybe they are just busy?" Rarity tried to stay positive. "Or in danger!" Rainbow said. "Uh, Rainbow?" "Yes, Aj?" "Where is Spitfire?" They looked for her but she was nowhere to be found. "I can't believe we lost her." Rainbow said. "I'll call Sunset and Twilight." Applejack said. "No need!" Sunset said while her and Twilight ran to them. "We came as fast as we could." She showed them the text. "Oh no, they won't hurt any of us! We are all here together!" Rainbow said. "But wait, if we are all here," Applejack said,"that means Pinkie and Fluttershy are in danger!" "Okay, can we go now?" Fluttershy was scared. "I have a bad feeling about this." "No, we can't. We need to search it all!" Pinkie turned on the light and they saw Sweetie Belle tied up. "Sweetie Belle!" They both were shocked. They removed tape from her mouth. "Was it Trixie who kidnapped you?" Pinkie asked. "No, you guys aren't suppossed to be here. You need to leave now!" Sweetie Belle panicked. "It wasn't Trixie, it was--" "Me!" a familiar figure appeared from the shadows as they both gasped from shock. Author's Note Dun dun duuun Morning ComesAt the police station the girls were being questioned about Pinkie's and Fluttershy's dissappearence. "So they were last seen at Trixie's house?" asked the policeman. "Yeah, they were going to get a notebook they borrowed her." Applejack explained. "It's true!" Trixie's mother confirmed. "Alright. We will let you know when we find something." "Alright, thank you!" Sunset said as they left. "I can't believe this just happened!" Sunset said. "I hope they are alright." Twilight said. "Who knows what happened..." Rarity was sad. "We weren't careful enough. How could we let this happen?" Rainbow said. "There was nothing we could do. We didn't know what will happen." Applejack tried to reassure her. "I told you guys that was a bad idea." Twilight said. "Well it doesn't matter now. What's done is done. We need to find them and need to do it fast." Applejack said. "Yeah, you're right Aj!" Rainbow said. "So... anyone got any ideas?" Rarity asked. "Isn't it obvious?" Rainbow asked. "We go to Trixie's house." Applejack was in class waiting for it to finish. She tried to focus but couldn't help thinking about their plan to go to Trixie's house tonight. She was also staring at a certain rainbow haired girl. "Applejack Apple, this is class. You can stare at Rainbow Dash after it" Teacher said. "What? I didn't--" "No, I don't want to hear it. Detention after school." "What? But I only didn't pay attention for little while and--" "Detention!" Applejack sighed. Did the teacher really have to point out she was staring at Rainbow? At lunch the girls sat together. "And you got DETENTION?" Twilight was freaking out. "How will we now go to Trixie's house while her parents are not home?" "We will just have to split I guess." "How did you even get detention?" "She was busy staring at me" Rainbow said teasingly. "Uhm.. I..." "Don't worry. I noticed you were staring way before teacher said it." "Pft I was not. I was just... uhmm..." Applejack was blushing hard. "I was accidentally staring while being deep in my thoughts." "So you happen to accidentally stare at me every day because you are lost in thoughts thinking how great it would be to kiss me? Got it!" "What? I didn't... I never said..." School bell rang. Later, Applejack was at detention while others went to Trixie's house. Suddenly Rainbow walked in. "Rainbow? What are you doing here?" "I may or may not have gotten a detention on purpose so you won't be lonely." "Aw, thank you. But what about the plan?" Applejack whispered. "Don't worry, they can handle it, I'm sure." "I hope you're right." The rest of the girl sneaked into Trixie's house. "I just can't believe Rainbow Dash got herself detention too!" Rarity was annoyed. "Eh, seems usual to me." Sunset shrugged. They searched for any kind of clue but didn't find anything. They finished their investigation and went home. One week has passed without any new evidence or clue. There wasn't any text from T either, just waiting, the painful waiting. "Isn't it weird?" Twilight asked. "What exactly?" Applejack asked. The two of them stayed longer at library. "That we haven't gotten any text from T yet?" "Maybe. They certainly are up to no good. But don't worry about that now. Today is your first date with Sunset, you finally are going out with your crush, focus on that." "You're right" Twilight nodded. "Speaking of going out with crushes, do you ever plan to ask Rainbow Dash out?" "We have only known each other for 2 weeks now." "Alright, but I'm shipping you guys." "Thanks?" Applejack replied while blushing a bit. "I better go get ready now." Twilight said while packing her things and leaving. "Alright, have fun!" "Thanks!" Rarity and Rainbow Dash were at Rarity's botique helping Sunset get ready. "You know what bothers me?" Rarity asked. "What was that gem stone that T mentioned the day Trixie dissappeared? And how did anyone get the hat from Trixie before even entering the school and getting caught on camera?" "Who knows. It is pretty weird though!" "Yeah, weird" Sunset was nervous. "Are you okay, darling?" Rarity asked. "Yeah, just nervous about the date!" "Oh relax!" Rainbow said. "You two are going to have an awesome time!" "Will we? What if something happens? What if T attacks? And how do I stop worrying about Pinkie and Fluttershy?" "Look, we all are freaking out and scared" Rarity started. "Butthere is nothing we can do to find them faster, we are trying our best. And if anything happens texts us immediately!" "Alright. I hope it goes well." Sunset sighed. "I'm sure it will!" Later at the date Twilight and Sunset went to movies and then decided to take a walk. "And that's how I realized I want to study chemistry one day." Twilight excitedly said. "That an amazing story Twi!" "What about you? What are your plans after high school?" "I don't really know yet. I know I only have less than a year to decide but it is so hard." "Don't worry, I understand. And I'm sure you'll figure it out. Just try to relax, take deep breaths and think it through. If you need a talk or anything I'm here for you." "Thanks. It means a lot that I can count on you." They continued to walk in comfortable silence for few minutes until Sunset broke it. "Hey Twilight?" "Yes?" "Can I tell you something? It's a secret of mine, kinda crazy and weird but I need to tell this to someone." "Sure! You can tell me anything, I won't tell anyone!" Twilight said but nothing could prepare her for what Sunset said next. "I am a magical unicorn from a paralel universe called Equestria and have a very powerful magical stone which if used wrongly can make you rules whole Equestria and beyond and this world too and I think I know who may want this stone, it would have to be---" "Me!" a person appeared while Twilight and Sunset stared at shock.
Playing With FireAuthor's Note I have this chapter ready too so I will publish it :D Playing With Fire All the girls recieved a text message. When they opened it, it was from someone who named themselves T. "Better stop looking who did that or someone you care about is next. -T" "So it is Trixie!" Pinkie concluded. "But why would she make her own dissappearance?" Applejack was cofused. "She was always the one who loved to make a show" Rainbow explained. "But there has to be something more," Twilight didn't agree. "Something we are missing here." "Nope. Pretty sure it is her." Rainbow was sure. "Wouldn't that be too obvious?" Sunset also doubted. "Why would she sign herself with her letter then?" "I don't know," Rarity said. "I am kinda scared because of this threat. Maybe we should just stop and let the police finish it?" "But you will still be their suspect" Applejack added. "And if we tell them about hats Sweetie Belle will be included too. If this really is Trixie then she can not really do much, right?" "We do not know for sure that it is Trixie." "What should we do then?" Applejack asked. "I have an idea. Let's break into office's in school and look at the cameras!" Sunset suggested. "No way! We can't break into it!" Twilight was being reasonable. "Oh come on!" Rainbow complained. "It is the best way to find out what exactly happened!" "Even if we did, we would get caught!" "Then let's do it at night! No one will be in school then." Fluttershy gulped. "At night? In a school where someone was kidnapped in the middle of the day?" "Don't worry, dear, all of us will be there, too!" Rarity tried to calm her down. Twilight sighed. "Fine, when will we do it?" Later, during night "Oh, I have a bad feeling about this!" Fluttershy said. "Tell me about it!" Twilight replied. "I am scared we will get caught." "Oh come on!" Rainbow interrupted. "You will just delete the footage when we are here. No worries." "No worries for you maybe" Fluttershy was scared. "This place is super scary at dark." "You got that right!" Applejack was looking around scared with her flashlight. Rainbow looked at her. "Are you scared, Aj?" "What? Me? Huh, pft, nooo! Why would I... be...scared?" Applejack was embarrased. "It is normal to be scared, you don't have to be embarrassed of it." Rainbow Dash took her hand. "Does that help?" Rainbow casually asked. "Uh, yes. Thanks." Applejack smiled at her and she nodded and gave small smile back. Seeing Applejack didn't listen to her advice about staying away from jocks, Twilight facepalmed. The girls entered the office. "Alright, let me just check the cameras" Twilight said. The girls gathered around Twilight. "Guys?" Twilight was terrified. "Someone is here! They are coming to office!" "Quick! Turn it off! Everyone hide!" Rainbow said. "I can't turn it off that fast, they are just around the corner!" "WHAT?!" Applejack was in panic. Suddenly a mysterious figure appeared. All the girls jumped on him. "Ah!" the person screamed. Twilight turned the lights on. "Professor Discord?!" everyone was shocked. "Who?" Applejack did not recognize him. "Ouch!" Discord said. "Phew!" everyone was relieved. "Why? What is all of this?" Discord was confused. "Heh, we just thought you were a crazy kidnapper" Rainbow explained. "Yall do know he could still be a kidnapper?" Applejack was still confused. "Nah, that's Discord!" Pinkie said. "Did you just call a teacher only by name?!" Twilight said. "That is okay, professor is too formal. I like it more when everyone calls me by name." "He is a super nice teacher who gets on really well with everyone." Fluttershy explained to Applejack. "I also heard he likes chaos in his classes." Twilight whispered. "I do like chaos." "And he heard me." "What do you teach? I am new here so I do not really know." "Pft, YOU are the new student? I thought it would be someone who looked more like a ner--- I teach phylosophy." "Well, back to the cameras!" Twilight said. "What are you all doing here anyway?" "We could be asking you the same question" Applejack replied. "This is my job. I have left my phone here so I came back for it." "And we are trying to solve a mystery of why Trixie is gone" Fluttershy explained. "Oh wow. Alright but if anyone asks I was not here and do not know anything." "Alright." everyone confirmed. "Please don't get caught!" he said while exiting. After a short while Twilight found the footage. There was a random person who covered their head with the hat, a scarf and was wearing a big brown coat. "They hid too well, we can't know who that is" Applejack said dissapointed. "Wait a bit now, darling" Rarity stopped her. "We could pay more attention to who owns that coat and scarf!" "But many people could have it." "True but they probably don't have both." "Great!" Rainbow Dash was sarcastic. "Our only lead is a bad quality photo of a scarf and a coat!" All the girls got a text from an unknown number. "I have told you to stay away. You are now responsible for what happens next. -T" "Seriously if this is Trixie I will personally push her" Rarity was angry. "I am scared." Fluttershy commented. "Who knows what that could even mean" Twilight said. "We need to be careful." Applejack replied. The girls successfully exited the school and deleted footage of them. "Now what?" Rainbow asked. "We head home and see what happens tomorrow?" Pinkie replied with a question. "What if one of us or somebody we love dissappears?" Applejack was worrying. "We need to be careful!" Sunset said. They all went their homes. The next morning. Applejack came to breakfast and was very relieved to see all of her family safe and well. "Morning!" she happily greeted them. "Oh, pancakes?" "Eyup!" "So how is it in your new school Applejack?" Granny asked. "Did you finally find some friends?" "Oh, it is great so far! And yes... I guess we are friends." Applejack smiled to herself at the thought of finally having real friends. "And did someone caught your eye?" Apple Bloom was curious. "What do ya mean?" "Oh, you know what I mean!" As she realized what Apple Bloom was asking she quickly replied, "yes! I mean no! I mean maybe!" "So someone did, I knew you are happier and up in the clouds!" "We have only known each other for 2 days, but I guess you can say someone did caught my eye." "Oh really? What's her name?" "I gotta go. Don't wanna be late for school!" "Of course you don't when there is an awesome somebody you will talk to today!" "See ya!" "Have fun!" Applejack came to the school bit earlier and saw her new friends around Rarity who was crying. "Hey, what happened? Rarity, are you okay?" "No." she was crying loudly. And Applejack was shocked as she then said, "Sweetie Belle is GONE!"
Unusual Crew"Good morning students!" sadly said the principal who was giving speech to her students. "I have a sad news today. Unfotunately, our school will have to close. We don't have enough money to keep it going and it was bought by a private company." "What?! Oh no!" students were shocked. "But don't worry, we will give you a list of other high schools you can transport to! Please everyone proceed to my office, I will call you one by one to fill the papers." There was a whole school in front of principal's office. Among them was Applejack. She was still shocked at the news and thought about where should she go now. "Applejack Apple please enter my office!" said the principal. Applejack got up and entered. "There are bunch of students waiting and we need to do this fast because we only have until tomorrow to transport all students and give them the school." "Alright." Applejack looked at the list and didn't know where to go. She saw a name Canterlot High. She remembered her distant cousin Pinkie Pie goes there and it's not that far away from home. "I'll go to Canterlot High." "Really? Are you sure? No one else will probably go there. There are much more popular schools." "I know but I would like to go there." "As you wish." All of this continued all through the day. The next day Applejack got up early. She didn't want to miss out on her first day at new school. She was feeling very nervous. She got there early too! She went to the principal Celestia's office. "Good morning!" she entered. "Oh, good morning! You must be Applejack, right?" "Yeah, Applejack Apple." "I am principal Celestia! We are very happy to welcome you here." Celestia introduced herself. "Class will soon start, here is your schedule." "Thank you." "I am very busy at the moment but let me introduce you, this is Twilight Sparkle, she will answer all your questions if you have any and show you around school." "Hello!" Twilight greeted her. "Hi!" "I am sorry, please excuse me now, I have to go." Celestia said. "And remember my doors are always open if you need me!" Applejack and Twilight were walking around school. "You are gonna love it here!" Twilight said. "In this school you'll gain a lot of knowledge that will be helpful later. And you will definetly have fun studying all of these." "Uh, right... I hope so." "You don't like studying?" "Not really." "Ah, that's okay. I guess not everyone wants to be a scientist and spends whole days learning, experimenting and reading." "Wow! As long as you have fun! What kind of science are you interested in the most?" "Oh, that's easy! Definetly chemistry! I simply love it!" "That's cool!" "What do you like to do in your free time?" "I usually spend time on my family's apple farm. Otherwise I love to hang out with people." "You must have plenty of friends." "Heh, not really, people in my last school were only interested in popularity." "Ah, I know how you feel. Most people here are too." Twilight sighed. "Only actual real friends I have are my dog Spike and my family." "Well, look on the bright side. We both gained a new friend today." "Yeah!" Twilight smiled happily. Twilight continued showing her around. "THEY ARE COMING!" someone yelled. "Who is coming?" Applejack was confused. "Oh no!" Twilight pulled her aside. "The jocks! Just turn around and don't look them in the eyes. Try not to ever get on their bad side." "Uh..." A group of people dressed all in the same jacket passed by. They looked cool but everyone feared them. In the bunch there was a rainbow haired girl. The just passed by and left in their direction. "Woah!" Applejack said. "Who was that rainbow haired girl?" "Uh, you mean Rainbow Dash? She is the team captain!" "She is gorgeous!" "She does seem to make many boys and girls fall for her although she is only interested in girls. But I think you should stay away from all of them, I heard rumors about them being bad news and changing who they date often and based on popularity. You'll only get your heart broken." "Only rumors?" "Well, no one knows for sure but better safe then sorry." Then continued walking. A pink haired girl passed near them. "Hey Twilight! Hi Applejack!" Pinkie said while being in a hurry. They both greeted her. "You already know Pinkie Pie?" "She is my cousin." "Oh! Wow that's really cool! She literally knows EVERYONE!" They were soon finished with touring the school. "Soon we will go to my favourite place!" "Cafeteria?" "No! Library!" "Oh..." "You'll like it there's plenty of books for everyone!" They reached the library. "And here is the library!" Twilight said happily but soon she started staring at a girl surfing the net. She had a red blondr hair. "Uh, Twilight?" "Yes? What? Yes? Were you saying something, I kindaa got distraced." Twilight blushed. "I think science chemistry is not the only chemistry you do." Applejack joked. "Oh no, I... we... uf..." "You have a crush on her?" "Is it that obvious?" "Yes. But that's so sweet. Did you tell her?" "What? Of course not! That's Sunset Shimmer the smartest and most caring girl EVER! She also truly has a smile of an angel!" "Aw, that's adorable! I hope she likes you back!" "MOVE! We need to pass by!" Trixie said. "Excuse me?" Applejack turned around. "Ugh, is that the new girl? She literally has no fashion taste!" Trixie noticed. "And you met the cheerleaders" Twilight sighed. "Oh come on, Trixie. It's nothing that can't be fixed." Rarity said. "Besides that farm girl look looks good on her!" "Thanks." "Ugh!" Trixie complained. "You're welcome, darling. Welcome to Canterlot High. I am Rarity, soon to be cheerleader captain." Rarity said as Applejack and her shaked hands. "Ugh! If you really think you'll buy popularity and spot as captain by being nice then you are wrong!" Trixie said. "I am just being myself. Besides, I don't think captain should be rude like you are!" "I am not rude, just teaching everyone their place!" "So that's how you call being rude in your language?" "Let's go." Twilight told Applejack. "We don't wanna stay in this fight. They are competing to be a captain so it's always like this." "Okay, let's go." Later they were heading to eat lunch. "Angel no!" Fluttershy yelled. "Everyone look out! Bunny on the lose!" "Bunny what?" Applejack turned as Angel jumped on her. "Ah!" "Don't worry he only bites if you're scared." "What?!" "Let me help take him off!" Twilight tried to help. "What's going on here?" Luna was angry. "All 3 of you detention!" "What? No? Please, it's all a misunderstanding!" Twilight said. "Yes, it wasn't their fault!" Fluttershy added. "I don't care who's fault it is. Bunnies are forbidden in school. All of you get detention. I am not in the mood today." Luna left. And Twilight started to panic. "Oh no, this will ruin my whole life!" "No it won't. I am sure you're a great student. It's just one detention." Applejack tried to reassure her. "Yeah, don't worry. It won't affect you." Fluttershy also tried to help. "That's what they always lie about!" Later that day Applejack, Fluttershy and Twilight entered library where detention was held. Few minutes after Rarity and Pinkie came in too. "How did you two end up here?" Applejack was suprised. "Oh, don't even ask. Trixie and me got into another fight." "And I handed them pies so they can solve it as they do in my family!" Pinkie shruged. Sunset entered the room too. "Hi everyone!" "You ended up here too?" Pinkie was shocked. "I thought you don't cause trouble anymore." "I don't. It was an accident." "If you say so." "Perfect! Now you all need to be here for an hour. Do whatever but you aren't allowed to go out of this library!" Luna said. "Ugh, where is Rainbow Dash?" "Yo!" Rainbow entered the room. "Sorry I'm late Luna!" "Call me Luna once again and you'll get another detention!" "Wow chill. No need for anger." "Anyway, one whole hour here. The librarian will keep an eye on you." Luna said as she left the library. Librarian sat on the chair. "My life is ruined!" Twilight was still in panic. "Oh relax!" Rainbow said. "This is my fifth time being in detention in last 2 weeks. It isn't that bad!" "Easy for you to say!" They continued to sit in silence. Sunset continued to read a book she was reading earlier in the library, Rarity was reading a magazine, Twilight studying, and Pinkie and Fluttershy quietly talked. "Are you the new girl?" Rainbow asked. "Yeah. Name's Applejack!" "Nice to meet ya, Aj! I'm Rainbow! How do you like it around here so far? I see you have already gotten in trouble." Rainbow joked. "Are you really that bad?" "No, I don't usually cause trouble. This was a... bunny accident." "Too bad. If you ever want to change that you can join me in pranking others. I would love to spend time with you!" "Oh please no!" Rarity joined. "There are plenty of other ways to hang out! I don't need another person constantly pranking us. Especially if my hair and clothes have to suffer after!" "What? Blue hair was in fashion then!" Rainbow defended herself. "No, it was not!" "Oh well, all's good now." "No, it is not." "Uh, can you please not fight? You will distrub Angel." Fluttershy asked. "And I am trying to read." Sunset said. "Ugh, fine!" Rainbow said. Some time later librarian fell asleep. "FINALLY!" Rainbow was happy. "We are free to go now!" "What? No!" Twilight said. "You can't just leave!" "Suit yourself, I am going!" Suddenly a scream was heard. The girls went outside and saw everyone around a note on the wall. "It says they kidnapped Trixie!" random girl said. "And that one of us is next unless we give them something they called a magical stone!" "A magical stone? What could that be?" Applejack was confused and terrified.
They wore a hatAuthor's Note I know many did not like last chapter but I am having fun writing this story and some people did like it so I am continuing this story :D They wore a hat "Alright move!" later the police arrived. "All of you will be asked questions, please stay away from the message and wait!" The girls went back to wait at the library. They saw a random brown hat on the floor. A hat Rarity remembered she designed and sold few people. The next day "Good morning students!" Celestia was talking to the school. "As you all know yesterday a horrible thing has happened, our student Trixie was kidnapped. I assure you there is no need to panic as police is solving this mystery already." "We are working hard to find your friend" a policeman said. "We saw on security cameras that whoever did this wore this brown hat we later found in the library. If you know anything about it please let us know." Later at lunch. Applejack, Twilight, Pinkie, Fluttershy and Rarity were sitting down at the table. "I guess then we have nothing to worry about, right? Since police will solve it." Applejack said. "I don't know about that. I am pretty scared." Rarity replied. "I was asked questions about Trixie's and mine fight." "Are you scared they will suspect you?" Fluttershy wondered. "Well yes, but also that someone else is going to be kidnapped." "I just don't understand," Twilight said, " why would anybody do that to her?" "Because they are her competition for captain spot?" Rainbow joined them. "Oh please stop it!" Rarity was getting annoyed. "She was rude to everyone. Literally anyone could be responsible for that." "Since when do you all sit with us regular mortals." Sunset was suprised as she sat down with them. "Hey, I just came here hoping you would be brave enough to join me in solving this mystery." Rainbow said. "Seems like an adventure." "And I came to make sure you won't tell them I made the hat." Rarity said. "Wouldn't that help them solve it?" Fluttershy asked. "It would also make me look even more suspicious. I really don't need that." "Perfect!" Rainbow said. "Then we are the only ones who are able to solve this mystery. We have the clue!' "Absolutely not!" Twilight complained. "We need to tell the police!" "I don't know, it would make Rarity look bad." Applejack said. "What if they somehow come to conclusion she is the one who did it?" "Well did you?" Pinkie suspiciously asked Rarity. "No!" Rarity replied. "I'm in!" everyone turned to Sunset. "Solving this mystery seems like a fun adventure." "But wouldn't that get you into more trouble?" Twilight asked. "Especially since some people used to think you're bad." "Some still do think you're bad." Fluttershy looked at Sunset with suspicion. "Eh, I'll risk it. Sometimes you have to do things you want to without fearing what others will think of you, Twilight. It's your life after all and people who matter to you will love you anyway." Twilight thought about that. "Alright, I'm in too!" "Wow, even Twilight Sparkle will join us in this rule breaking." Rainbow was suprised. "It's not that big rule breaking..... right?" "Nah, it will be fun!" Pinkie replied. "I am also in!" "I am, of course, in" Rarity also added. "We need to get to the real truth and not let anyone innocent be accussed." "Me too! I wanna join!" Applejack said. "It looks like it will be an adventure. Besides all of you are joining too!" Fluttershy sighed. "I guess that means I will too." "Great!" Rainbow was happy. "Let's all meet up later then to discuss it. I need to go to my team now." "Come to my botique at 6." Rarity said. Later at Rarity's botique. "So I made 3 of these hats. One is with Sweetie Belle, one was bought by Spitfire and one by Flash Sentry." Sunset eyerolled. "Of course my ex would be involved." "Well Flash wasn't the one who was school bully..." Fluttershy complained. "What do you even have against me? Do you still think I'm mean?" "Well you were pretty rude to me." "I apologized, and I have changed." "I don't know about that..." "Can we please focus on removing my name from suspects" Rarity said. "I mean, solving this mystery." "Okay we are all from different school groups, we can find out anything from anyone." Rainbow said. "I'll ask Spitfire, Rarity you ask Sweetie Belle and someone will need to go ask Flash." "Not me." Sunset instantly said. "No one else knows him" Rainbow noticed. "I do!" Pinkie smiled. "Awesome, Pinkie can you do it then?" "Sure!" Tomorrow they met at Rainbow's home. "Well, I can't believe I was actually invited to your house." Twilight was suprised. "Wow Rainbow!" Applejack was also suprised. "You really have a lot of throphies and medals." "Yeah, I really love sports!" "Oh really? Do you plan to do it as your job?" "Uh huh! My dream has always been to become a member of the Wonderbolts, best football team in the world!" "That's sounds amazing! I am sure you will make it!" "Thanks!" Rainbow smiled. "What about you? What are your future plans?" "Well I will probably lead family apple farm. I also like baking treats from apples." "Sweet!" "You sure do have a lot of photos of yourself around the house" Twilight noticed. "Hey, my parents put those here, not me." "They must be very proud then." "They are. But we aren't here to talk about that, what did you guys find out?" Rainbow asked. "I found out Flash still has his hat" Pinkie said. "Also that they will not be doing taco tuesdays in school anymore." "What? No fair!" Everyone was shocked. "Spitfire also still has the hat with her, she was actually wearing it." Rainbow explained. Rarity sighed. "Then I guess it was Sweetie Belle's..." "Can you explain a bit more?" Sunset asked. "Sweetie Belle borrowed someone this hat. They have never returned it." "But who did she borrow it to?" Fluttershy and other were curious. "That's the thing," Rarity said. "She borrowed it to Trixie." "WHAT?" everyone was shocked.
Of conflicts and fightsThe girls comforted Rarity. After class they all met at the library. Rarity wasn't there. "This is kinda getting out of hand" Applejack was talking with Rainbow. "Tell me about it, so much has happened in the last 3 days." "If nothing at least all of us became friends!" "Huh?" "I mean all of this danger and mystery that we are in brought us together." "I guess you are right. I didn't really think too much about it. I guess you could say we became friends." There was a short comfortable silence before Applejack broke it. "Hey can I ask you something?" Applejack asked. "You just did." "You know what I mean!" "I was just joking. Of course you can!" "I'm just curious, do you maybe have a girlfriend?" "Why?" Rainbow was amused. "Are you interested?" she teased her. "I was only curious." "Suree" she said. "And no, I don't. I recently broke up with my ex." "Oh, I'm sorry." "Nah, don't be. We really didn't get along at all!" "Oh!" Another short silence. "Mind if I ask, did you have a lot of girlfriends in the past?" "Did Twilight tell you that?" Rainbow eyerolled. "I did but not because I used people or anything like that. It's just... I guess you could say I need someone who can keep up with me. It is also hard to find someone who is loyal and honest!" "Oh!" Applejack said. "I am sorry if the question was too judging. I hope you're not angry." She was uncomfortable. "Nah, of course not! It's chill really. People often think that. And I know you didn't mean anything bad about it, you were just wondering to make sure I am not a player since you have an obvious crush on me." "I... uh... what? I mean...." Rarity suddenly entered the library and interrupted their conversation. "Whoever this is we need to destroy them!" Rarity was angry. "Woah, slow down! Maybe we should just quit and let the police handle it?" Twilight was being reasonable. "Absolutely not! They kidnapped my sister! We need to find her! They won't be able to do that!" "And why would we be able to do it if they can't?" Fluttershy asked. "I... don't know." "Look, let's all just calm down" Applejack said. "I can't calm down!" "I know, Rarity. And that's reasonable. But we need to figure out what is best for us." Applejack replied. "If we continue, there is a big chance someone else will be kidnapped" Sunset said. "So you're saying our only option is to let the police do it?" Rainbow asked. "I'm afraid so." Suddenly they all got a text. "You played with fire, there is no escape now. If you go to police, I'll make sure many more are lost. Now you're playing by my rules or else your good friend T will make sure police sees Rarity is to blame. -T" They all were shocked. "Does anybody else feel like forever locking themselves in room and crying or is that just me?" Fluttershy was scared. "What should we do?" Pinkie asked. "I guess we have no other option..." Rainbow noticed. Later, the girls exited the police station after telling them everything. "Are you absolutely positive they can't blame me?" Rarity asked. "We showed them the texts. They will see someone is trying to set you up." Sunset said. And then there was silence. "So uh," Applejack broke the silence, "what do we do now?" "Well, we did everything we could." Sunset said. "Too bad there wasn't more mystery and action." Rainbow added. "Hopefully soon we will find out the truth" Applejack said. "At least we know it is not any of us!" "Oh, I would not be so sure about that" Fluttershy said. "Is this about me being bad in the past again?" Sunset joined. "I have told you, I don't believe you have changed." "Ugh! You know what? I am out of here. We tried and did what we did. Now we wait for police to inform us. See you all around!" Sunset walked away angrily. "Well done" Twilight was not pleased. "You were not attending our school when she was at her worst, you don't know how she treated everyone." "But I do know she changed! I know she is truly a good person now!" "Guys just stop fighting" Rainbow interrupted. "We have bigger problems." "I think I will just go home" Rarity was sad. "See you all around in the hallways." "Yeah, I guess it is time to go home" Pinkie said. "Hey wait! Don't go away!" Applejack stopped them. "We are still friends right? Let's do something to get our minds of of this." "I really appreciate it Applejack but I would rather be alone now" Rarity said. "And as far as I know we only got together to find out what happened to Trixie" Fluttershy said. "I'm sorry but I don't think I can be friends with Sunset." "And I can't be friends with someone who disrespects her" Twilight added. "Also someone who used me to write her homework." "You know well enough I did not do that!" Rainbow said. "Do you have something against me?" "UGH!" "What?" "You know why I've said that!" "No! I literally don't! Why don't you explain it a bit?" "I... I need to go to babysit my niece right now." Twilight replied sadly. "Maybe some other time... if there ever will be one." She walked away sadly. "Well if everyone else is going, I am going away too!" Rainbow said. She paused and looked at Applejack. She opened her mouth as if she was about to speak but then closed it. "Uhh, we could still hang out, right?" Applejack asked her. "Sure thing. You are cool!" "Thanks!" Applejack was relieved. "See you tomorrow then?" "Yeah, see ya! Bye you two!" Rainbow also left. "Too bad we just fell apart, we really made a fun group." Pinkie added. "But I guess it happens." Applejack sighed. "I thought we would stay friends after this. It was really great finally having friends." "Don't be sad. You never know, maybe they will work things out. Besides, even if they don't they are all still friends with you!" "I guess you are right. Now only time will tell." Applejack went home sadly. Author's Note Thank you for reading! Feel free to leave your opinion in the comments And yes, I too am wondering what in the world did I just write lmao
StrongApplejack was walking down the hallway. Alone. It was lunch time and she still didn't manage to speak with either of her friends. She entered cafeteria. All the girls were sitting with their own group. All but Rarity and Twilight who were sitting together alone at the table in silence. Applejack went to them. "Mind if I join?" she asked them. "Nope." Twilight replied. "Go ahead." Rarity agreed. Applejack sat down and started eating in silence. After few minutes she broke the silence. "How are you holding up Rarity?" "Fine, I guess. I still don't want to talk much, I really would like to be alone." "Alright. But if you need anything you can count on me, alright?" Applejack wanted to help. "I know darling" Rarity slowly looked at the time. "I think I should go get ready for the next class. See you later!" "See ya!" Applejack waved her goodbye as she left. Applejack and Twilight continued to eat in silence until Applejack finally spoke, "Can I ask about Rainb--" "No!" Twilight roughly said, picked up her things and started leaving. She turned around and added more softly, "Please don't." Applejack continued to eat in silence, alone. Applejack was walking down the hallway. Alone. It was lunch time and she finished eating so she went to take a walk. "Really too bad you already are losing your friends. I would have thought you would fit in better and managed to keep them together." A strange voice came out of nowhere. Applejack sighed, "Please, not now Trixie!" she recognized the voice. "WAIT! TRIXIE?!" Applejack turned around but no one was there anymore. "That was creepy! Gave me chills too!" a voice said. Applejack turned around and was relieved to see Discord. "You saw Trixie there too, right?" "Did I?" "Uhm..." Applejack was confused. "What do you think who kidnapped her?" "Well sometimes the answer is right under our nose but we just don't seem to notice it." "So you do know?" "Hm, do I?" he started walking away. "Wait! Is it you?" "No. But someone very close, always near. I already said too much! Gotta go!" Discord left. Applejack stood confused for few moments. Then she continued to walk to her next class. At PE, they were running. Applejack and Rainbow were the fastest. "Wow, you are the first who can keep up with me!" Rainbow was suprised. "Others are usually way behind. Like they are now. Do you do any sport?" "Nope, only work a lot on the farm." "Oh that's cool!" "Not really, I would prefer to bake and develop my cooking skills further." "I am sure you will." Rainbow replied. "Apple! Dash! Less talking, more running!" profesor said. At home Applejack and Apple Bloom were in the kitchen making dinner. "And basically now they aren't talking with each other." Applejack explained but left out whole T part. "I would really like them to get along and for us all to be friends. I think we would be great ones, they just need to work out their past conflicts and judgements." "Well why don't you try talking to each?" Apple Bloom said. "You could find out why are they talking as they are and maybe convince them to be friends again?" "That's not a bad idea at all! Thanks Apple Bloom!" "No problem, sis!" Early in the morning Rarity was getting ready for school. Someone knocked. "Come in!" Rarity yelled. "Rarity! We are going to find Sweetie Belle!" Applejack entered. "Applejack, darling, what are you doing so early here? And how in the world will we find Sweetie Belle?" "We all need to work together, we will figure something out then!" "And how will we bring everyone together? They can not stand each other!" "Wrong! They just have past...misunderstandings and we are going to help them make up!" "Well.... I can't simply say no since you came with such confidence and all. Especially since your eyes sparkle with so much hope when you say that." "Oh! Well, you won't regret it!" Fluttershy was spending time with her animals at animal shelter. Applejack and Rarity came. "Hi Fluttershy!" "Oh hello!" "We want you to tell us why do you hate Sunset so much?" "And that's how she completly destroyed my animal shelter. I had to rebuild it whole!" Fluttershy finished her story. "Woah!" Applejack was shocked. "But did she ever apologize?" Applejack asked. "Well she did.. she even offered to take care of animals and did rescue a lot of them... I just don't trust her." "Why don't you give her a chance? People change with a lot of hard work and effort. She seems to have done just that. Don't you think people who try so hard and really make it up and are truly sorry deserve second chance?" Applejack said. "They might suprise you." "You're righrt!" Fluttershy replied. "And I guess I did overdo it with no second chances no matter how good you are now thing. I guess I wasn't the best person either." "It's alright, darling, we are all humans, we all make mistakes." Rarity said. "It is important to learn from them!" "You're right! I am gonna go apologize to Sunset right now!" Applejack entered bathroom and closed and locked the door. Only Twilight was there. "Uhm why did you do that?" Twilight was confused. "We need to talk." Applejack replied. "I am not talking about Rainbow!" "That is alright. I won't force you into anything. I just want to know is there any chance you two make up and be friends?" Twilight sighed. "I don't think so." Twilight sighed again. "Actually allow me to tell you why we can't." "So wait let me see if I got it right," Applejack was shocked. "You had a crush on Rainbow and she made you believe she did on you too and then just used you to do a project with her so she gets an A and broke your heart?" "Yes." "I want to hear the other side of the story too." Author's Note I still dont know what am I doing lmao so dont ask
Of Broken Hearts"What? No! Why ever would I flirt with Twilight just so I get an A??" Rainbow was shocked. "Wait, is that what she thinks? Is that why she hates me?" "I think a big misunderstanding happened." Applejack replied. "Yeaaah.... no." Rarity added. They both turned around. "You were definetly flirting with Twilight at some point." "I was not!" Rainbow replied. "Oh really? Next you're going to tell me is you didn't kiss her either!" Rarity was getting annoyed. "I--- okay maybe I was! But I didn't use her for a project!" Rainbow was angry. "Besides it was a long time ago." "Can somebody please explain to me what happened?" Applejack was annoyed. "Fine!" Rainbow sighed. "I liked Twilight, we had something but didn't officially date and I decided to end it up because I can't date a nerd, I would be kicked off team." "Yikes!" Applejack was shocked. "Yeah, well team members aren't exactly nice people. And it was stupid from me to do that. Today I would leave the team but I was just some lost freshman back then." "So how does project fit into that?" Applejack asked. Rainbow's eyes widened as realization hit her. "I think I told her I don't want to date her right after our big project presentation. Heh." Applejack facepalmed. "Great timing as always, Rainbow!" Rarity complained. "Hey, I didn't think she would take it the wrong way!" "I think you own her an explanation." Applejack said. "Yeah, I'll go find her now." "Wait!" Applejack stopped her. "Do you... still like her?" "No. As I've said it was 3 years ago. I actually... like someone else now." she blushed and looked at Applejack. "Oh, good to know." Applejack also blushed. "Seriously?" they both turned to Rarity observing them. "Actually nevermind, I'll let people handle their stuff on their own." They both looked at her confused as she started walking away. Twilight was reading in the library. Rainbow slide at the seat in front of Twilight's. "No." "Please!" Twilight sighed. "Alright. Let's hear your completly reasonable explanation." "Fluttershy, where are professor's rooms?" Applejack asked. "Uhm, down this hall. But if you're looking for Discord you should know he didn't come today to work. Which is very strange he is always here." "Wait, really? Oh no, maybe he did say too much." "What?" "I will tell you later, gotta find Rarity!" "And it was really stupid of me to do that and today I would do it much much differently. Being in the team is not worth it. I don't know if anything is worth losing people you love and ones who care about you and love you too. There is no excuse for what I did and I am sorry I didn't explain it back then. If I did maybe things would be different and we would get throught that. I am sorry I broke your heart." Twilight stared in shock. She didn't know what to say. "I... wow, that IS a reasonable explanation. I guess..." "Heh." "You could have told me that, you know? We would figure something out!" "Yeah, I know that now." Twilight thought for few moments then said, "I forgive you." "What?" "I forgive you, thanks for being honest with me. I guess after all this time I just really needed an explanation as to why you did that. Maybe if you explained it back then we would be something more now but I hope we can be friends from now on and not hate each other?" "I would love that!" Rainbow said as they hugged. "Uhh guys?" they turned around and found Sunset standing, her eyes filled with guilt. "Uh, I guess there is something I should tell you." Sunset said embarrassed. "Rarity!" Applejack almost bumped and knocked them both on the floor. "Yes?" "We need to go to Discord's place!" "Right now?" "The sooner the better." "But why?" Rarity was confused. "Remember how I told you what he told me?" Rarity nodded at that. "Well he didn't show up at work today and he always comes." "He does always come. Should we invite someone else to come?" "They have their own problems now. We will just text them where we are!" "Alright!" Rarity said as they both escaped school. "You? Did? WHAT?!" Rainbow was angry. "I threatened your team memebers to tell you you can't date nerds or else you will be kicked out so you don't date Twilight." Sunset said really fast. "But why would you do that?" Twilight was shocked. Sunset took deep breath and said fastly, "because I have had a crush on you, Twilight!" Both stared at shock. "Fluttershy!" Pinkie called her out in the hallway. "Ah!" Fluttershy jumped. "Hey, Pinkie! What's up?" "Rarity texted me saying her and Applejack went to Discord's. Something about missing people." "Should we go and help them?" "They said they could handle it but let's inform others too!" Fluttershy nodded. "Alright here we go!" Applejack knocked at Discord's door. They both recieved a message from T. "Knowing secrets is hard, spilling them to others cost. You won't find your teacher here. -T" "I am officially terrified!" Rarity said. "Me too, sugarcube. Me too." "You had a crush on Twilight too?" Rainbow was first to break silence. "I did. And I am so sorry, I really was a horrible person then and I understand if you don't want to talk to me anymore but you should know I changed and I would do anything to make it up to you!" Twilight and Rainbow looked at each other and nodded. "No need!" Rainbow said. "Yeah, we forgive you" Twilight added. "You do?" "Of course! We know you changed and it's okay, it's in the past now." Twilight reassured her. "I'm just glad we cleared this up." Rainbow said. They all hugged. "Huray for friendship!" Pinkie and Fluttershy ran into the library. "Girls!" "Shhh!" said the librarian. "Sorry." Fluttershy apologized. They came to others. "We found this note in Discord's teacher office. It says "It is someone from school."" Fluttershy showed them. "And by the looks of what he said to Applejack, it looks like he was talking about missing people and all of that." Pinkie added and filled them up on the story. "Maybe we can get to the bottom of this after all!" Rainbow got her hopes up. "I just got a text from Applejack to meet at her place, let's go!" Sunset said. They all started leaving. "Wait Sunset!" Twilight called her. "Can I just ask you something?" "Sure! Go ahead!" "Do you maybe still have a crush on me?" Author's Note Huraay for friendship! I apologize for mistake, I accidentally wrote Discord is a janitor
We Got This Together"I..." Sunset was scared. "Yeah, I do." She was also very nervous. "Really?" Twilight's face lit up and she got really happy. "I have a crush on you too!" "Really? I... do you want to maybe go on a date sometime?" "I would love to!" they both smiled. They were exiting the library and as they were doing so, Sunset bit her lip and took Twilight's hand in hers. As Twilight smiled at that, she relaxed and they continued to walk holding hands. "I know we can solve this if we work together!" Applejack said. "Yeah, we can!" Rainbow agreed. "And now we are finally actually working together!" Fluttershy was happy. "Oh this is so great! We all are finally friends!" Pinkie was happy. "We just need to figure out who had a motive to do this!" Twilight said. "And then we will eliminate suspects one by one until we find who is to blame." Sunset added. "Well let's start, who would do something like this?" Applejack asked. "I say it is Trixie!" Rarity said. "She really wanted to be a captain and she would do anything to get there, even if it meant faking her own disappearence and then coming back and gaining votes because everyone was worried about her." "Nah, I say it is Spitfire. Football captain never liked Trixie, she was just annoying her." Rainbow explained. "But wait how does Sweetie Belle fit into all of this?" Applejack pointed out. "Clearly to hurt me" Rarity explained. "And Sweetie Belle wanted on team so badly but Spitfire never let her. Sweetie Belle was trying to get it posted in school's magazine so it got Spitfire very angry." Rainbow said. "Alright, any other ideas?" Applejack asked. "Nope!" Twilight said. "Not really" "Let's just start from here then and see where it takes us." Applejack suggested and everyone agreed. "But wait? What about Discord?" Fluttershy asked. "He was probably in the wrong place at the wrong time and saw or heard something." Sunset said. "Yeah, that does sound like Discord" Pinkie confirmed. "We have a big game today Spitfire will definetly be there." Rainbow said. "How about someone sneaks to her house and checks if they can find anyone or any evidence." "We are not doing that!" Twilight was shocked. "I don't want to end up in jail." "Do you have any better idea?" "Uh, not really." "Then we go with my plan. Spitfire lives alone, we get in and out fast and no one will know." "What about Trixie's house?" Sunset asked. "Right." Rainbow said. "How about this Sunset and Twilight go to Spitfire's, Pinkie and Fluttershy to Trixie's and Applejack and Rarity will help me keep an eye on Spitfire? We will be in contact all the time." Everybody agreed. "Oh great..." Twilight wasn't pleased. "It will be fine Twilight. We will be fast and no one will know." Sunset reassured her. "We need to find out who kidnapped them." "I hope you're right." 15 minutes before game the team finished last warm up. People were arriving. "Alright team! We need to give our best today! It is the most important game of the year!" Spitfire said. "I know we all can do it! Now let's go get ready!" Rainbow sneaked out to talk to others. "I took Spitfire's keys" Applejack said. "Great! Let's start then!" Rainbow said. "I have a bad feeling about this." Twilight said. "Me too." Fluttershy added. "Don't worry guys, it will be fine." Rainbow said. The game started. Rarity and Applejack were in the crowd, Rainbow on the field and others went to inspect the houses. Pinkie and Fluttershy knocked on Trixie's door. Her mother opened it. "Yes?" "Hi! We sre Trixie's friends from school." Pinkie started. "We actually borrowed her a notebook before... she dissapppeared and we really need it back, you know for class. Can we maybe go and take it?" "Yeah, sure. I really need to go now but go ahead. I remember you, Pinkie, you were here so many times. Just please turn the lights on when you leave." "Okie dokie." They entered. "Well that was easy." Fluttershy said. "Too easy." Pinkie was suspicious. Sunset and Twilight got into Spitfire's apartment after investigating the basement. "Alright, where do we start?" Twilight was nervous. "How about I go check the living room while you check the bedroom? We need to be fast and return before game finishes so we get the keys back." "Yeah." "Perfect!" Applejack said after recieving the text. "They all got in!" "That's amazing. And we still have 40 minutes." Rarity said. Suddenly someone accidentally hit Spitfire and knocked her on the floor. She was replace and taken aside. "Oh no, I hope she won't search for her keys." Applejack said while Rarity facepalmed. "I found nothing." Fluttershy said. "Why don't we check the basement?" Pinkie suggested. "The b-basement?" "Yeah, don't worry. I am sure nothing is in there." "There is nothing here." Twilight sighed. "Yeah, here neither. Just trophies, CDs and books." Suddenly they got a text. "I told you to stay out of it. Now you'll have to pay the price. -T" "Oh no! We have to warn the others!" Twilight panicked. "I don't have any signal here!" Sunset also panicked. "Me neither!" "Let's go! I'll drive us there on my motorbike." It was half of the game. Rainbow sneaked out to talk to Applejack and Rarity. "What do you mean you haven't heard from them for a while?" Rainbow was worried. "We didn't, no one is answering." Applejack replied. "Maybe they are just busy?" Rarity tried to stay positive. "Or in danger!" Rainbow said. "Uh, Rainbow?" "Yes, Aj?" "Where is Spitfire?" They looked for her but she was nowhere to be found. "I can't believe we lost her." Rainbow said. "I'll call Sunset and Twilight." Applejack said. "No need!" Sunset said while her and Twilight ran to them. "We came as fast as we could." She showed them the text. "Oh no, they won't hurt any of us! We are all here together!" Rainbow said. "But wait, if we are all here," Applejack said,"that means Pinkie and Fluttershy are in danger!" "Okay, can we go now?" Fluttershy was scared. "I have a bad feeling about this." "No, we can't. We need to search it all!" Pinkie turned on the light and they saw Sweetie Belle tied up. "Sweetie Belle!" They both were shocked. They removed tape from her mouth. "Was it Trixie who kidnapped you?" Pinkie asked. "No, you guys aren't suppossed to be here. You need to leave now!" Sweetie Belle panicked. "It wasn't Trixie, it was--" "Me!" a familiar figure appeared from the shadows as they both gasped from shock. Author's Note Dun dun duuun
Morning ComesAt the police station the girls were being questioned about Pinkie's and Fluttershy's dissappearence. "So they were last seen at Trixie's house?" asked the policeman. "Yeah, they were going to get a notebook they borrowed her." Applejack explained. "It's true!" Trixie's mother confirmed. "Alright. We will let you know when we find something." "Alright, thank you!" Sunset said as they left. "I can't believe this just happened!" Sunset said. "I hope they are alright." Twilight said. "Who knows what happened..." Rarity was sad. "We weren't careful enough. How could we let this happen?" Rainbow said. "There was nothing we could do. We didn't know what will happen." Applejack tried to reassure her. "I told you guys that was a bad idea." Twilight said. "Well it doesn't matter now. What's done is done. We need to find them and need to do it fast." Applejack said. "Yeah, you're right Aj!" Rainbow said. "So... anyone got any ideas?" Rarity asked. "Isn't it obvious?" Rainbow asked. "We go to Trixie's house." Applejack was in class waiting for it to finish. She tried to focus but couldn't help thinking about their plan to go to Trixie's house tonight. She was also staring at a certain rainbow haired girl. "Applejack Apple, this is class. You can stare at Rainbow Dash after it" Teacher said. "What? I didn't--" "No, I don't want to hear it. Detention after school." "What? But I only didn't pay attention for little while and--" "Detention!" Applejack sighed. Did the teacher really have to point out she was staring at Rainbow? At lunch the girls sat together. "And you got DETENTION?" Twilight was freaking out. "How will we now go to Trixie's house while her parents are not home?" "We will just have to split I guess." "How did you even get detention?" "She was busy staring at me" Rainbow said teasingly. "Uhm.. I..." "Don't worry. I noticed you were staring way before teacher said it." "Pft I was not. I was just... uhmm..." Applejack was blushing hard. "I was accidentally staring while being deep in my thoughts." "So you happen to accidentally stare at me every day because you are lost in thoughts thinking how great it would be to kiss me? Got it!" "What? I didn't... I never said..." School bell rang. Later, Applejack was at detention while others went to Trixie's house. Suddenly Rainbow walked in. "Rainbow? What are you doing here?" "I may or may not have gotten a detention on purpose so you won't be lonely." "Aw, thank you. But what about the plan?" Applejack whispered. "Don't worry, they can handle it, I'm sure." "I hope you're right." The rest of the girl sneaked into Trixie's house. "I just can't believe Rainbow Dash got herself detention too!" Rarity was annoyed. "Eh, seems usual to me." Sunset shrugged. They searched for any kind of clue but didn't find anything. They finished their investigation and went home. One week has passed without any new evidence or clue. There wasn't any text from T either, just waiting, the painful waiting. "Isn't it weird?" Twilight asked. "What exactly?" Applejack asked. The two of them stayed longer at library. "That we haven't gotten any text from T yet?" "Maybe. They certainly are up to no good. But don't worry about that now. Today is your first date with Sunset, you finally are going out with your crush, focus on that." "You're right" Twilight nodded. "Speaking of going out with crushes, do you ever plan to ask Rainbow Dash out?" "We have only known each other for 2 weeks now." "Alright, but I'm shipping you guys." "Thanks?" Applejack replied while blushing a bit. "I better go get ready now." Twilight said while packing her things and leaving. "Alright, have fun!" "Thanks!" Rarity and Rainbow Dash were at Rarity's botique helping Sunset get ready. "You know what bothers me?" Rarity asked. "What was that gem stone that T mentioned the day Trixie dissappeared? And how did anyone get the hat from Trixie before even entering the school and getting caught on camera?" "Who knows. It is pretty weird though!" "Yeah, weird" Sunset was nervous. "Are you okay, darling?" Rarity asked. "Yeah, just nervous about the date!" "Oh relax!" Rainbow said. "You two are going to have an awesome time!" "Will we? What if something happens? What if T attacks? And how do I stop worrying about Pinkie and Fluttershy?" "Look, we all are freaking out and scared" Rarity started. "Butthere is nothing we can do to find them faster, we are trying our best. And if anything happens texts us immediately!" "Alright. I hope it goes well." Sunset sighed. "I'm sure it will!" Later at the date Twilight and Sunset went to movies and then decided to take a walk. "And that's how I realized I want to study chemistry one day." Twilight excitedly said. "That an amazing story Twi!" "What about you? What are your plans after high school?" "I don't really know yet. I know I only have less than a year to decide but it is so hard." "Don't worry, I understand. And I'm sure you'll figure it out. Just try to relax, take deep breaths and think it through. If you need a talk or anything I'm here for you." "Thanks. It means a lot that I can count on you." They continued to walk in comfortable silence for few minutes until Sunset broke it. "Hey Twilight?" "Yes?" "Can I tell you something? It's a secret of mine, kinda crazy and weird but I need to tell this to someone." "Sure! You can tell me anything, I won't tell anyone!" Twilight said but nothing could prepare her for what Sunset said next. "I am a magical unicorn from a paralel universe called Equestria and have a very powerful magical stone which if used wrongly can make you rules whole Equestria and beyond and this world too and I think I know who may want this stone, it would have to be---" "Me!" a person appeared while Twilight and Sunset stared at shock.
