Author's Note

So before beginning the story I need to get a few little character traits out the way.

The textures
Full appears during the day or when around Celestia, and large fires

is dark blue with a teal mane and matching draconic tail with spikes that match her body she also has golden eyes as well as a set of wings that matched her body color and the tips matched her mane and has a bonfire for a cutie mark as well as an uncle Sam hat with a dark blue band between the hat and its brim and teal and red stripes running down it.

Missing appears at night or around Luna, and with chaos

Missing's body is dark purple and her main/ tail are black the tail spikes follow the same rule as full same for her wings her eyes are entirely a matching purple with a black outline around the right eye the left has a slightly lighter purple outline her cutie mark is a grid of black and purple squares and her hat has black and purple stripes with a purple band.

Let's begin

Appearing

Missing Texture kind of appeared during the night in Manehattan and immediately started trouble running around booping ponies turning their cutie marks into ones that matched hers and draining them of all their magic, all the while having a snarky grin on her face that only widened with the ponies' confused cries.

"Oh, this'll be fun. " she said to herself quietly and continued her reign of chaos till police ponies came to stop her at which point she took flight.

" Looks like this towns a bust looks to be about 01:00 could probably make it a good bit of the way to the next town before Full takes over for the day. "

She suddenly noticed wings flying up behind her which in response she used her tail to whip around then boop both of the police at which they started to plummet.

"Should have enough magic to safely land. " she shrugged and kept flying excited about possibly continuing her trouble.

She flew for a few hours before going to land sensing the sun would be up soon. Then she yawned and as the sun cracked the horizon in a puff of smoke Full was now there.

She looked around a bit disappointed in Missing, there was nothing around in the middle of a rocky desert Full stretched her wings.

"Well, there is nothing to do here, best to keep flying, need to find some food too, we can't both just live off excitement Missing. One of us has to eat. " she yelled at herself and took off.

After about an hour of flight she spotted what looked like a lake with a small town by it.

"Food!" she excitedly yelled "Oh, yeah got no money." After landing she checked under her hat and found a small coin bag.

"Hate That you stole this, but I gotta eat." Full spoke to herself again glad that she wasn't in the town yet so no looks.

She then put the bag back under her hat then trotted into the town and quickly asked where she could get some food. She was pointed to the center of town by a bit surprised pony who stared at her tail as she trotted off. She slightly curled it and waved it at him in both recognition of his stare and goodbye.

"Now Full you have to be careful, this town looks very flammable so no slip ups. " she spoke to herself as she walked.

Eventually she came to a wide building with "Lakeside Cafe " on a large sign hanging by the building's door. She carefully reached out to the knob with her right wing and twisted it pulling the door open and walked into a rather quiet restaurant.

"You're a new face. " an older voice spoke causing Full to jump slightly, a small spark fell off the tip of her tail and thankfully fizzled out. A dusty brown mare waved from behind a stand with menus on it and stood up.

"Right this way. " she spoke leading Full into the dinner and placed her at a booth by a window.

"You look like you could use the extra space. " the mare plainly said pointing at Full's tail

Full nodded thankfully and got up on the booth sitting/ laying in a way that let her tail stretch across the booth.

"Now the names Marcy. " the mare said as she gave Full a menu. "And I'll be your waiter today. Can I get you anything to drink? "

Full sat quietly for a moment before saying. "Could I get some orange juice no ice. "

Marcy nodded. "I'll be right back. " and she disappeared into the kitchen.

Full busied herself looking over the menu notting several fish dishes the salmon particularly caught her eye. She pulled the coin bag from under her hat and counted the bits on the table.

"25 should be enough with a little to spare. ,"She said.

A moment later Marcy returned with her drink and asked if Full was ready to order.

Full nodded and spoke "I'll have the salmon please. "

Marcy nodded "any specification in cooking," she asked.

Full shook her head. " Anyway is fine as long as it's seasoned well. "

Marcy nodded and walked off. Full counted out the bits she needed to pay and put the rest in her bag then waited idly thinking for about ten minutes occasionally drinking before Marcy returned with her food, a nice pink half of salmon with salt and pepper and a little lemon sprayed over it. Full thanked Marcy then using her wing picked up a fork and exposing a few canines she had toward the front of her mouth dug in. After a few minutes she had consumed the whole half including the bones and began eating the broccoli that came with it. When Marcy returned she was shocked how the plate was completely cleared and gave the now full Full a quizzical look. Full simply smiled. And handed her the bits then stood to leave.

As Full left she burped and a small bit of black and purple flame escaped her mouth. Full sighed with relief that it wasn't a whole lick of fire. She really didn't want to burn this place down it was a nice quiet place though she was sure Missing would be disappointed.

"Well i don't want to cause this place any trouble so i should get moving. Who knows how many places I've accidentally burnt down that's why i was popped out of existence for a bit. Well was more Missing's fault. So im guessing some chaotic magical energy has built up in this world so im back. "

Full monologued to herself as she took flight.

"Discord must be back. though he alone wouldn't be enough to break Starswirl's spell. Must be some new source. I need to meet and thank them for giving me a second chance though I fear Missing will ruin it again. Not sure what she did last night, but she was clearly on the run."

Full went quiet and continued to fly for a while till she spotted a field with a few small clearings.

"Would be a nice spot for a bonfire". She muttered to herself and looked back forward spotting a small western looking town

"Applelusa? Doubt anyone would remember me but I had good times there. Should see what it's become. "

Appleoosa

Full flew till she got closer but hesitated to land noticing it was getting later in the day.

"Should just keep going but screw it i got time. ,"

She landed just on the outskirts of the town noting it seemed sleepier than she remembered. She walked into the town looking around spotting a sheriff's building and got the feeling she would wake up there it appeared to be solid brick so no risk of burning it down. She had often woken up in there in her past stay simply because they were trying to contain Missing so she didn't really blame them. She walked into the sheriff's office. When she was spotted the sheriff jumped. looked her over then asked

"Would you happen to be texture? "

Full was genuinely surprised at this

"Yes, how did you know? "

"Well, an old myth about you has been passed down over the years. Telling of a pony with a dragon tail who was cursed to cause trouble. Which is why most of the town is stone buildings. " the sheriff replied and smiled at her.

"I made that big of an impression? I figured id be forgotten after all this time. "

Full had a genuine smile and thanked the sheriff before going back into the town and continuing to explore the town that looked nothing like she remembered. She encountered a few locals and had a nice chat and to her surprise none seemed bothered by her tail or occasional glint of her canines.

"Even after all these years appluseens are still pretty cool. " she said to herself as the stallion of the group spoke.

Another thought popped in her head

"How is it i know how long it's been my magic isn't that powerful" she noticed that the stallion stopped speaking and was looking at her

"So what do you think? ," he said

Full blinked a bit "sorry i had been lost in thought could you say it again? "

"Were having a rodeo tonight, and I asked if you'd like to come with us? Horseshoe will be there"

Full smiled "I would love to but you would likely be going with Missing if i come along. "

Full thought as she spoke "hopefully this rodeo would be enough to keep Missing from going nuts on the town. "

The stallion blinked a bit caught off guard by her reply "Missing? "

"Yeah, the more chaos prone half of me that mainly comes out when the moons up,"

The stallion took this in stride "we got enough experts with lassos could probably restrain you if you start something so should be fine. ,"

he lightly smiled and the mares with him nodded in confirmation.

Full felt a bit elated at this they didn't fear missing in fact they were confident they could contain her if needed.

"I'll be there. " full happily said and returned to looking around the town. As the sun started to go down, she made her way to where the rodeo would be and saw it was starting to fill up and the stallion she talked to was waiting outside with his posy. They all went in and got seated full got a bit nervous as the show began and the last beams of sunlight faded then poof.

"It's my turn" Missing started shouting when she noticed the rodeo. wasn't her usual enjoyment, but it was entertaining, she noticed a few ponies were at the ready to catch her and she shrugged and kept watching. After a while most everyone seemed to relax. And missing started chatting with a few ponies as it went on.

When it ended she peacefully left the stadium with the group she came in with still chatting and a simple grin on her face. It was an unusually calm night for Missing once everyone had gone to sleep she just roamed around a bit getting an idea of where she was and after a while of lonely wandering she sat and fell asleep for the first time for a long time not counting the time she was banished without being swapped out.

Had to cut some of this chapter into chapter one to get approved why its short

Gambling texture

Full woke up the next day sitting outside what she assumed was the saloon a few town ponies were already up and they greeted her happily.

"So missing made some friend's last night. " she thought and noticed she was a bit hungry. And swiftly walked into the saloon? And asked if they have any meal options.

"I assume you like meat judging by the few sharp teeth you got. Only meat thing we have is a cowstallion scramble. you interested?" The keeper said

Full nodded

"That'll be five bits,"

Full pulled her bit bag from under her hat and poured the remaining bits out and slid them to the keeper then took a seat to wait. After he got the order in the keeper slid full a glass of water which she used her tail to bring it to a soft stop.

"Thank you. ,"

"Order up" someone shouted from the back.

The keeper trotted back and grabbed Full's plate. Then came back and handed it to her plus a fork she grabbed the fork and dug in. After a bit all that remained was some grease.

"You eat fast. " the keeper said

Full only nodded and left she felt an odd desire to find a more densely populated place. "Missing influencing me maybe? " Full thought to herself before taking flight heading the direction where she remembered Las Pegasus was.

After several days of flight and multiple swaps the textures as Full landed in Las Pegasus.

Where all the lights enraptured Fulls mind she began searching for a source of fire. Because last she knew electricity was barely a thing. Apploosea didn't really have any electric lights at least not that she got to see.

She stopped someone and asked how they fueled the flames in the lights.

The griffon merely scoffed at her and continued on. Full could sense that interaction plus the ambient energy of this place was starting to draw Missing out. But the two weren't quite enough to force an early swap. though it was late afternoon. "This was a bad idea" Full nervously said as she walked to a larger building with particularly flashy lights.

When she walked in she was immediately hit by the chaotic noise of the casino and a moment later Full was swapped out. Missing immediately knew this would be an extended swap.

Walking into the slot machine portion she used a bit of her chaotic magic to force a machine to jackpot thus giving her the money she needed for her game of poker. a pony at a nearby machine simply looked at her in shock and awe she tossed him a few coins.

Then slid the rest in her hat then seeming to defy physics put it atop her head not a single one fell out. then walked over to the poker tables with her signature troublemaker smile.

When she arrived she pulled a lot of the coins out of her hat and entered a game. A few games later Missing's hat was rather full and the casino staff started to encourage her to leave the poker tables. Her eyes lack of expression gave her a serious poker face throughout the games her smile hadn't wavered even when doing poorly.

Missing rather enjoyed the chaotic swath of emotions throughout the casino.
"What to do now? Full should be happy with me I earned this money rather than stealing. ,"

Missing went to the main bar of the casino and ordered a whiskey spiked cider.

"I'm not much of a drinker but 'I've got the money 800 plus bits in here" Missing spoke to herself as she waited and slightly adjusted her hat so about 10 bits fell out to pay for her drink.

Few seconds later her drink came and as she took a sip, one of the ponies she had played against ran by grabbing her hat with their magic which didn't budge Missing hopped off her stool and slammed her hoof into this stallions dumb founded nose and started yelling at him. "Look dumb ass the hats part of my body you wouldn't want me yanking your head around in an effort to take something would you? "

The stallion tried to run but he was too weak from his magic being drained. Meanwhile
Missing was revved up both from her anger and the magic she stole. She was about to pummel this sorry excuse for a gambling stallion when the bartender ahmed loudly pulling her out of her rage enough to realize the stallion was cowering shaking violently.

Missing snarled at him then went back to her drink and a few security ponies drug the stallion out the casino. After a few drinks Missing got up to leave the night is young i Can still bust a few more casinos. Then walking out into the well-lit streets her smile grew a bit more at the thought of basically robbing some more sorry ponies. Then yawned a bit her early start getting to her.

Missing strolled over to another casino where she was denied access she booped the security then walked right in. " Not surprised they're trying to stop me with how well i did no magic needed. I may be a troublemaker but i dont cheat. usually. "
Then walking right over to the poker tables she began a new winning streak before being denied access to the tables. She noticed the security watching her hesitant to try to remove her after the stunt earlier. Beginning to feel bored Missing decided to start booping ponies and a few other species while running through the casino then swiftly exited the building. "Looks like it's getting boring here fast. "

continuing to boop ponies in the streets till the last moment before the swap. When Full appeared all the booped ponies instantly regained their marks and most of their magic. Full quickly got the sense she wasn't welcome and decided to leave not before noticing the pressure on her head she slid her hoof under her hat and felt a large pile of bits.

"While i'm not happy you went to poker right away I must thank you for eliminating my worries over bits Missing. " Full decided she was tired of flying after the last few days and went to the blimp station buying a ticket for some town she never heard of.
