Ponyville's Biggest Threat
Fluttershy's Welfare Check!
Previous ChapterNext ChapterThe Mane 6 were still heading to Fluttershy’s cabin. They hoped that colt was telling the truth and Fluttershy had returned by now. Rarity wasn’t as anxious as Twilight and Rainbow Dash, especially Rainbow Dash; who felt as she shouldn’t trust that colt and splated out where Fluttershy address; she had to eased her worries; she just needed to relax; they will find Fluttershy at the cabin safe and sound. Nothing would have happened.
“You girls think we should recruit Applejack?”
Pinkie Pie asked with concern. She knew Applejack was safe but wanted her to be here to help support her emotionally; what if Fluttershy is...! She can’t think like that because she’s okay.
“Are you concern about her safety?” She’s safe at the barn. I... Checked on her since the announcement was near Sweat Apple Anchors."
"We almost to Fluttershy’s cabin. Let’s check if Fluttershy’s there and if she is, then we alert her to stay inside.”
“And if she’s not darling?”
Rarity asked, a little anxiously. The group arrived at the bottom of the hill to Fluttershy’s cabin. Rainbow flew up the hill, opening the door with no hesitation. She flew into the cabin already searching for Fluttershy. Twilight was annoyed by Rainbow Dash’s quick searching but understood. Fluttershy wouldn't want her cabin a mess if she left temporarily to probably check up on some animals. The group made their way up the hill. Twilight anxiety spiked up. Why would the door be open and not locked if she did leave temporarily. Twilight inspected the door, seeing it possessed no damage. No force entry. This info only calmed her anxiety a little bit. Again, if this is the same killer, he could’ve drawn her outside. Like what was theorize to happen with the Pie sisters. There’s no blood on the trail up. There was blood involved in the Pie massacre. She didn’t see any blood by the house or up the hill. Maybe he/she covering their tracks this time? If so that mean they heard about the announcement. Rainbow Dash flew to the group. The group was moments away from entering the cabin. They well Twilight mainly would give Rainbow Dash a lecture for exploring the cabin without them and causing a wreck. Whst if they needed to examine the house if somethingdid happen to Fluttershy? Kinda hard to do that if Rainbow Dash messed up the whole cabin! Twilight was moments away from lecturing Rainbow on abandoning her and the rest of their friends as well as messing Fluttershy’s cottage.
“Is Fluttershy in there darling?”
Rarity asked. She hoped Rainbow’s answer would calm her and them rest of them down, but if Fluttershy was in there, then Rainbow would’ve started a conversation.
“No, she’s not.”
Rainbow said frantically. Twilight started to search around the cabin with the others joining her. Pinkie Pie and Rarity search the bottom of the hill. Pinkie Pie decided to roll down the hill. Twilight and Rainbow Dash check around the house. Rainbow was searching from the air, thoroughly scouting the area.
“You don’t think were...”
Rainbow Dash gulped; fearful of what she’s about to say.
“Too late?”
Rainbow would blame herself if she was dead. She could’ve come here first. She decided to fly over the bushes. She spotted something red, at first she thought it was a rose or some type of red flower, maybe even a lady bug, buy her eyes shockingly caught a pair of yellow wings. They looked dreadful. Rainbow flew to the ground in shock. She didn’t need to pull the bushes apart. She knew who that was; pink mane and tail. Rainbow Dash now knows how Pinkie Pie felt.
“Did you find her!?”
Twilight asked from the top of the hill. Twilight notices Rainbow Dash’s face. She feared the worst.
“You looked... Like you saw a ghost... Rainbow Dash...?”
Rainbow Dash couldn't respond from the horror and sadness. She was paralyzed with shock, grief and regret. Pinkie Pie and Rarity accompanied Twilight and Rainbow Dash. They were listening to Twilight’s question, as well as her tone.
“Please... Don’t tell me...?”
Rarity saw the pair of wings. She gasped before covering her mouth and nearly fainting, falling to the ground seemly unconscious. Pinkie Pie spotted the pair of yellow wings, finding a pink mane and tail? She broke into tears; her mane and tail becoming deflated once again. Why does everypony she know and love die? Rainbow flew over the bushes; pulling them apart. The group as well as Rainbow Dash. Were paralyzed by the image. Theu didn't want to believe it. They just couldn't believe it. Twilight already felt grief over the Pie massacre. Rainbow Dash felt like Pinkie Pie when she lost her sisters. She held back her sorrow. She didn’t want to lose her composer. She however couldn't help herself and fell to the ground in tears. Twilight felt the same. Rarity comfort Pinkie Pie, letting her tears flow.
“We have to go back to Ponyville. We need to report this to the police, as well as that colt. He was over here last. So-!?”
“He said she wasn’t here when he arrived.”
Twilight remembered the unicorn saying that. She believes that he could be lying. Why was he in Ponyville’s again? She forgot he told her that he wasn’t at the announcement.
“Do you think it’s that colt in the red cape?”
Rainbow Dash asked. She started to blame herself. She felt as she was being stabbed in the heart. Fluttershy was her friend since they were in flight school. Rainbow Dash knew Fluttershy since they were fillies. She defended her honor once and She...!
“Should... We take Fluttershy’s body...with us?”
Twilight remembered some detectives using hoof prints as leadings, and maybe even magic singularities.
Rainbow Dash moved to the bushes. Her face filled with regret and tears. She attempted to grab the body.
“No Rainbow Dash! Don’t touch the body!”
Twilight yelled at Rainbow Dash. They can't mess with the crime scene even though they already did by going inside Fluttershy’s cabin.
“Huh? Aren’t we bringing her to the police department?”
Rainbow Dash stopped her attempted, awaiting Twilight’s answer. She didn’t think of it leading her to the crime she didn’t commit. If those deputies think she possibly could have done that to her best friend since fillyhood then they got another thing coming!
“No, we will have them investigate this, if you touch it, your hoof prints will be scan and, will... You know what happens?"
Twilight left her to conclude the outcome after the body goes under examination.
“Alright. Alright. We would look suspicious if you or Rarity took it with magic right?”
Rainbow Dash said with understanding. She still felt crush as the rest of the Mane 5.
“Exactly. Now follow me to the police station. It’s time to find and expose this killer. I am very sad, and very angry at the same time. If they went solo, he/she might be nearby, listening and watching us. Hoping we will break apart. We will not!"
Twilight’s motivated the group to not give up and accompany her. Tears flowed down her checks with a determined face. They're not going to lose any more friends; or herself.
“Yeah...”
Pinkie Pie said, wiping her tears away. Her mane and tail remaining deflated. Rarity agreed with her Twilight. Rainbow Dash asked Twilight a useful question.
“Twilight, can Unicorns teleport? You know... with magic?"
Twilight remembers a spell that allowed teleportation. She didn’t think she could do it just yet.
“Yes, we can. Thanks for reminding me Rainbow Dash. I’ll try to teleport us there. Gather around me.”
Rainbow Dash hovered to the ground near Twilight with the rest of the Mane 5 huddling together. Twilight horn illuminated as she tried very hard to teleport herself and the group. A bright white flash occurred. The group was gone. A few tears left behind from all, especially Rainbow Dash who let her’s poor when they left as she thought about Fluttershy. They’ll pull themselves together when they arrive cause if not the last thing the deputies want to deal with is a lack of composer from potential suspects.
