Rarity and the mayor's mix-up

"Everypony pay attention, this is very important." Rarity said while reaching into her saddle bag. She pulled out a large map that showed the layout of the vicinity of town hall. She spread the map out on the rim of the fountain and pointed to the roof of the building. "Rainbow, Fluttershy, and Colt will fly up to the roof, sneak in through the skylight, avoid the guard patrols, and unlock the back door. That's where me, Pinkie, Applejack, and Twilight will be waiting. The exact location of the vault is unknown, so we will all split up and search the building. You will all be given maps of guard patrol routes. The area with the most guards is probably where the vault is so we will search those areas first." Before Rarity could continue to explain, Applejack asked the question that everypony wanted the answer to. "How did ya'll even learn all this?" Rarity answered it with another question. "What do you think iv'e been doing for the past six hours?"

Rarity continued. "I have some suits and gear for everypony to use." At that moment, she opened her saddle bag and threw seven suits and seven small belts of gear. Everypony grabbed a suit and belt. The suits were black fatigues that covered a pony's entire body and had eye holes cut out and replaced with goggles. the flanks of the suits had the cutie marks of the group sewn on for identification purposes. The gear belts contained maps, lock-picks, glass cutters, and binoculars. "geez, are we taking down metal gear or something?" Colt asked sarcastically. Everypony looked at him and asked simultaneously "What's metal gear?" He looked away and said "Oh, it's um... nothing, nevermind."

"interruptions aside, we will all rendezvous in the main lobby at exactly 2:00 to report if we've found anything, that will give us 2 hours to search. By then we will have probably found it. once we enter the vault, we'll grab the box and then Rainbow, Fluttershy, and Colt will fly us out. Are there any objections?" Fluttershy started to mumble but like always, nopony heard her. "Alright everypony, let's go." Rarity said as she started to walk to town hall. They all put on their gear and got ready for the heist.

Rainbow dash and Colt started to fly towards the roof but remembered that they're forgetting something. "C'mon Fluttershy, we don't have time for this." Rainbow whispered towards the ground. There was no reply. "Iv'e got this." Colt said as he flew towards the ground. He picked up a large, out of place rock and set it down on the roof next to the skylight. The top of the rock lifted up like a cap to reveal that it was hollow and Fluttershy was hiding inside. "Fine" Fluttershy whispered as she flew out of the rock. Colt reached into his belt and pulled out a lock-pick and proceeded to work on the latch to the skylight. He unlocked it and slowly lifted the glass until it was fully open. "Alright, we're in." Colt slowly lowered himself into the main lobby and once he reached the floor, he motioned for the others to follow.

The three looked around the main lobby but there was nothing but desks and benches disguised in the darkness. Rainbow pulled out her map and laid it on a bench. "According to this, we need to head down the main hallway until we reach a split. We turn right and head for the info storage room, from there we'll be able to access the West wing." she said and then proceeded to fold and put away the map. They started to walk towards the entrance to the hallway but before the could even take one step into it, a light shined in their direction.

Colt had realized what the light was before the others even had time to react. "HIDE!" he quickly whispered. He ran out of the hallway and flattened out against a wall. He looked at Rainbow Dash and fluttershy with worried eyes as the guard reached the lobby. The two ran and hid on one side of a bookcase. The guard shone the flashlight around, walked to a door labeled "East wing" and shut the door behind him. "That was too close." Colt whispered.

The three ponies left their hiding spots and started to walk down the hall. "Before we continue, let's take a look at the guard patrol route map." suggested Colt, still slightly shaking from earlier. Fluttershy and R.D. nodded in agreement. Colt pulled out the map and flattened it on a wall. "Apparently this hallway is checked once every 5 minutes. The path to the info storage is checked every 3 minutes." "How long has it been since that guard walked through here?" Fluttershy asked. "2 minutes." Colt replied. "Then we better hurry." Rainbow added.

----------------------------------------------------chapter 2 part 2:hiding--------------------------------------------------------------------

The trio started walking faster, until they reached the end of the hall. "Info storage is to the right." R.D. whispered. They turned to the right, revealing yet another large hallway. "We're running out of time." Colt whispered as he started to run forward. Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash remembered the 5 minute time constraint and started running as well. Just as they reached the middle of the second hall, they heard the familiar noise of a door open and a light turning on. "RUN, WE"LL REGROUP LATER!" Colt nearly yelled. The three split up and ran into different doors.

Meanwhile at the South end of the building, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, and Twilight we're impatiently waiting. "Where are those three?" Rarity asked. "Something might have happened. Don't worry, they'll be here soon." Twilight replied. "They better be, ah can't wait here all night." Applejack added.

Back in the north wing, the trio were scrambling around in separate rooms, each of which had a guard patrolling them. R.D. ran into a room that had many chairs positioned around the walls. she looked behind her and saw a plaque beside the door that said "waiting room" she took a moment to catch her breathe but before she could, a guard walked in and she immediately flew up and perched on the rafters just as the guard shined the light at her. "phew" she said to herself as she watched the guard walk away.

Fluttershy stumbled into a room with a large oval-shaped tabled and chairs lining the rim of it. a sign on the edge of the table marked it as the  conference room. She heard hoofsteps near the door and dove beneath the table. Fluttershy laid there trembling, she tried not to make any noise as a guard casually walked through the room and left as quickly as he entered.

Colt burst into a room with a bunch of stalls and urinals. "You've got to be freakin kidding me." he thought to himself as he hid in the stall at the end of the room. the lights flickered on and he heard stall doors opening, a guard was checking every stall. Just as the guard reached the last stall, Colt heard a stall door close. After that, there was the noise of a zipper, and then the sound of water dripping into water. He stood there with a straight face as the toilet in the stall beside him flushed, the lights turn off, and the guard walked out.

Hello readers, that was chapter 2, I hope you enjoyed it as much as i did writing (because I had the Metal Gear Solid 2 theme playing as I typed) Yes that was a MGS reference in the beginning because all Iv'e been playing is the MGS HD collection for the past week. Anyways, I know I said chapter 2 would be the last one but I didn't exactly know how this would turn out but now Iv'e decided that there will probably be 4 chapters, maybe 5. If you see any typos or any revisions you think would make the story better then type them in the comments and I will fix it. Chapter 3 will be out probably 2 to 3 days after this one is approved.
