Auntie Rarity

Sweetie’s POV

I was galloping in the Everfree forest, and I saw all these creepy bugs flying around. I just kept running. I wouldn't worry about anything right now, just my Minnie. Rarity and Rainbow Dash lost me a while back, but I could hear Rainbow Dash flying above the trees. I kept running until I ran into Zecora.

“Oh...sorry.” I frowned stepping back, but not wanting to stop. She looked back at me.

“Why so worried Sweetie Belle? You look stressed, and I can tell.” She told me.

“My foal is missing! She flew away and Rainbow Dash said someone threw her towards here from cloudsdale!” I explained trying not to cry.

“Your little foal is what you seek, then let us go and take a peek.” She said looking around. “No foals have entered here you see. I guess this is a mystery.” I felt sick and started crying.

“I have to find my baby!”

“Calm is what needs to remain here. We will get nowhere if we focus on fear.”

“You don’t understand, if someone takes her, and I can’t ever like...see her again.” I couldn’t finish that thought.

“A mother’s worry is a big trouble, but I am here to burst your bubble. Fluttershy found the foal you see, The only one who saw was me.”

“Well why didn’t you tell me?!” I sighed in relief. I ran full speed to Fluttershy’s house, but when I knocked on the door, there was no one there. Rainbow Dash finally caught up with me, and so did Rarity far behind her.

“Sweetie Belle! Don’t run off like that again.” My sister scolded.

“Sorry, I just have to find her.” I frowned knocking harder on the door.

“She must not be-” Rainbow Dash started to talk until Fluttershy flew to all of us. If she was flying like that, it was an emergency.

“Rarity, Sweetie Belle! Thank goodness you’re here! You have to come with me. Shadow has Minnie, and he won’t give her back!” Fluttershy cried.

“What?!” Rarity charged towards where she knew Shadow lived from the previous run-in. We chased her, and Rainbow Dash started getting ahead of all of us, including Rarity.

“Let me handle this kid!” She yelled down.

“Oh, please don’t hurt him.” Fluttershy said so quietly that I could barely hear her. Rainbow Dash flew and we got there to an empty apartment. No Shadow, no Minnie.

“Where is he Fluttershy?!” Rainbow Dash asked slamming the door back.

“He was just here. I don’t know where he could have gone.” She frowned. My head hurt, my stomach was cramping, my whole body was heating up with worry and rage. I felt my heart beat fast and I wanted to slam my hoofs down with anger! Instead, I just passed out.

Shadow’s POV

I flew up to cloudsdale after dropping off my foal safely with my parents. I decided to teach these guys a lesson. I was going to act like an innocent pegasus looking for my foal who flew off, but when I ask the guys who threw her and they try to tell me they ‘haven’t seen her’ I’ll know they’re lying and I’ll kill them all. I looked for groups. They were in a group. I saw a group of mares, but it couldn’t have been them. I saw a group of clots, but even they’re not that evil. Then I saw a group of teenage colts. The stupidest breed of pegasus: I know I got a filly pregnant with twins when I was that age.

“Hey!” I yelled. They all shot their heads towards me and I flew right at them. “Have you seen a light pink little foal? She’s got a curly hot pink mane with blue streaks. She’s also got the biggest wings you’ll ever see on a foal.” I described quickly. They looked at each other and then at me. One of them nodded and the rest shook their heads. “That’s what I thought.” I said getting ready to fight. “So who’s going to die first?” I asked.

“How about you?” One of them asked getting out a blade and stabbing me with it. The other pegasus in Cloudsdale scurried away, but I couldn’t move. I was bleeding out on a cloud. He came near me with it again, and I had no strength, but then I thought about my little foal. I grabbed the blade as he brought it to stab me again and slashed his leg making him fall to my level. When he was there I climbed onto him, still bleeding but not noticing it during the pure rage I had. I stabbed him in the chest and then fell over.

Rainbow Dash’s POV

That stupid kid wouldn’t take responsibility for anyone, and now Sweetie’s unconsciousness. I’m gonna find him and make him give that foal back if it’s the last thing he does. I flew back to Cloudsdale and got confused when I saw a bunch of police. Somepony must have called them about the whole Minnie situation. I’m sure I’m not the only one who saw. I flew towards the scene to answer some questions, because I had all the answers: I was there.

“What’s going on?” I asked.

“There’s been a knife fight.” The policepony told me. What’s happening to Cloudsdale?!

“What? Between who?!”

“I can’t disclose that information.” He told me. I looked over and saw an ambulance. There were two beds, both had sheets over them, which meant both were dead. I felt a weight go on me. I flew over to the group of colts I saw earlier.

“What did you guys do?!” I asked. They all looked sad, like really sad.

“We were drunk earlier and we didn’t mean to hurt that foal, but it’s dad came looking for us...and one of our friends killed him, but the stallion killed him before he actually died.”

“What?! Well why the heck didn’t you idiots stop him?” I asked thinking that this would crush Sweetie Belle.

“We couldn’t.” Is all they could say. I wanted to slap the heck out of each of them, but now I had to go back to Sweetie Belle.

Fluttershy’s POV

My aunt and uncle brought back Minnie to me. They said Shadow had no place being a father yet, and they were sorry he took her. I had never seen Sweetie so relieved, once we got her awake that is.

“Sweetie Belle darling what have we learned from this?”

“Never go to school because your sister will let your daughter fly away?” Sweetie asked with a fast response.

“Well this wasn’t all MY fault. It was that horrid customer!”

“I think Minnie’s going to have to have surgery...” Sweetie looked really sad. “I just don’t want her to get into this kind of trouble, but when she’s a little older and she doesn’t get what she wants one time, she’ll fly away.” Sweetie said holding her daughter close.

“Guys!” Rainbow Dash burst through the door. “Shadow got into a knife fight!” Rainbow Dash told us bluntly.

“What?! Oh goodness is he alright?” I asked very worried.

“He could be murdered for all I care.” Rarity stuck up her nose. Sweetie Belle looked worried.

“He was.” Rainbow Dash told us. My heart stopped. I burst out into tears and so did the foals, even though I don’t think they understood.

Rarity’s POV

When Rainbow Dash told me that Shadow was dead, I was so relieved that he wouldn’t be hurting my sister, or taking my nieces again. I was a little upset that a young colt’s life was ended, but if it had to be anypony I’m glad it was him. I was alright until I saw my little sister. I HATE seeing her cry, but she was sobbing, and I just didn’t understand.

“Darling?” I asked with a frown. “Please don’t cry.” I asked cuddling her. The poor dear was shaking.

“You don’t understand Rarity. I was so attached to him.” She cried. “I just..” She could no longer speak. I looked at her, and then at my little nieces. Maybe this wasn’t what was best for them. Sure he was an awful stallion, but he could have been reformed. Maybe what happened today was a tragedy and not a gift to Equestria.
