Taken
Chapter 5: Girl's Day Out
Previous ChapterNext Chapter"And you're saying what now?" Nick said.
Dana and Carol pressed their backs on the chairs of the police station. Nick Stiles recorded their conversation.
"Chloe has gone missing." Dana said. "We tried calling her but she won't answer."
"She's never this late home." Carol added.
"The same thing happened to my son." Nick said. "We'll find them."
Dana was confused by Nick's lack of emotion towards his son missing. The emotionless blank stare at his brown eyes was enough for the two women to believe that Nick murdered his son. Still, Dana and Carol played along.
"We'll find them? That's it?" Carol said.
"As far as I can tell, when did you last see Chloe?"
"We sent her off to school. The school board hasn't notified us of her absence. In fact, she told us that she was staying back at the school to work on the upcoming Bronycon."
"I see. We'll update on you as soon as we can."
The two women left the building.
"What if Chloe ran away?" Dana said.
"Chloe loves us. Yeah, she's bullied a lot, but she has her best friend as a bodyguard." Carol said. "Wherever she is, she must be missing us and be having the worst day of her life."
"This is the best day of my life." Chloe sighed as she laid back.
Her legs stretched out, her feet being massaged by servants, it felt like a five star spa for free.
"Move your hooves over there." Twilight instructed the servant.
"Yes, your majesty." The servant said.
"You know, I wonder if I ever get to meet your friends." Chloe said.
"You will." Twilight said. "Girls?"
Five ponies walked in. A light pink earth pony with a fluffy pink mane, an orange country-accented earth pony with a blonde mane, a light blue tomboyish pegasus with a rainbow-colored mane, a yellow pegasus with a pink mane who spoke in a soft voice, and a white unicorn with a purple mane that spoke in a fancy accent.
"So this is the chosen one you are talking about!" The rainbow mane pegasus said.
"Allow us to introduce ourselves." The fancy pony said. "My name is-"
"Rarity." Chloe said.
"How did you-"
"You're Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, and Fluttershy." Chloe said to the respective ponies.
"How did you know our names?" Applejack asked.
"Let's say you girls are famous from where I came from." Chloe said.
"Yeah!" Rainbow Dash said. "We're famous even in this world!"
"So what should do?" Pinkie asked.
"I say we go to Joe's donut shop." Twilight said.
Chloe was appalled by how much Pinkie could eat for the donuts.
"Um, can I have something healthy?" She asked to the waiter.
The waiter left and brought back her an apple.
"Thanks, I guess." Chloe said.
"Why aren't you eating donuts with us?" Pinkie said after downing her fourth donut.
"I could get cavities if I eat too much. One's good enough for me."
Everypony laughed.
Soon, the ponies and Chloe all walked into an early movie screening. The theater was filled with creatures from all over Equestria. Dragons, Changelings, Hippogriffs, Griffons, Earth Ponies, Unicorns, Pegasus, Yaks, Cats, Dogs, and buffalos.
"Welcome, one all to the special screening of the Mane Six movie!" The announcer said. "Give it up for the Mane Six!"
The spotlight shined in on the Mane Six's VIP seats. Every creature cheered them on, including Chloe.
"We have created this movie to show that these six, who have saved Equestria from Tirek, Cozy Glow, and Chrysalis, as a way to show how heroic their actions are. Now sit back, relax, and enjoy the show."
Everyone cheered as the lights went out.
After the movie, the girls spent their time at the Wonderbolts academy.
"Strange," Chloe said. "I thought there should be less air when you go higher up."
"Well here in Equestria, height doesn't matter." Twilight said. "Just breathe constantly."
Rainbow Dash now became the new captain of the Wonderbolts team. She was training a new generation of Wonderbolts.
"And flip!" Dash said as the Wonderbolts did a flip.
"Woo!" Pinkie cheered.
As Chloe watched Rainbow Dash training with her students, she saw a vision of Peter standing there. No, he couldn't be here, he was enjoying the time of his life at the castle. Chloe began to feel even more guilt.
After spending a girl's day out, the Mane Six returned to their jobs. Twilight and Chloe had dinner with the royal guard.
"I can't believe it, I'm having dinner with the Chosen One!" Twilight cheered.
"I don't know, it would've been more fun if Peter was here." Chloe sighed.
"Oh come on, I gave him some dinner." Twilight said. "Nothing to worry about."
The doors to the dinner hall opened. Gallus walked in with some news exclusively for Twilight. He whispered words so soft in Twilight's ears.
"I got to do some princess stuff. Stay here, eat, and don't forget to breathe... a lot."
Twilight left with Gallus. As Chloe watched, she felt air being sucked up above her. A funnel sucking up air was placed ever so slightly above her. Chloe grew curious. She went up to one of the yeti-like servants.
"Do you know where this funnel leads?"
"RRRRRRRRRRRRRRR......." The servant groaned.
"Guess I'll figure out myself." Chloe groaned.
Chloe examined around the castle, noticing paintings of all the creatures together. One painting had Twilight with all her friends sitting around her. That part of the painting didn't look right. Chloe felt the smooth texture of the painting, noticing a switch in the corner. She pressed it down, making the painting shift to the left. Behind the painting was a strange green plant that looked wilted.
"I see you have met Mama." A voice said.
It was Twilight. She was there with Gallus and the guards.
"You called this plant Mama?" Chloe asked.
"Yep!" Twilight cheerfully said.
"But what's it for?"
"It's for you, Chloe." Twilight said. "This is why we're collecting your Remarkable!"
"Say what now?"
"You breathe, Mama sucks up Remarkable, or else, she'll shrivel up and die without it." Twilight said. "But thanks to you, she can now produce her wonderful mind-controlling spores."
"So I'm actually doing something ama- Wait. Mind-controlling spores?" Chloe said with shock.
"How do you think I got to be in charge in the first place?" Twilight said. "These mind-controlling spores are just what we need to keep our rivals, the Storm Kingdom, weak. They attacked us once, enslaved all of us, and now we're giving karma to them! I need new episodes of Clown and Mailman!"
"But is enslaving them right?" Chloe said. "They wouldn't want that!"
"Oh they would." Gallus said, joining in on the conversation. "And we need Remarkable to do that."
"Remarkable? What even is that?" Chloe asked.
"It what's creatures like you breathe." Twilight said. "I verified this in my studies."
"Wait, Remarkable? You mean carbon dioxide?"
"Carbon dioxide?" Twilight said.
"Everyone exhales carbon dioxide."
"We don't." Gallus "We creatures inhale oxygen and exhale oxygen."
"Well, everyone from where I live exhales carbon dioxide."
"Wait." Twilight said. "What?"
"All seven billion of us!" Chloe said. "So you don't need to hold me hostage!"
Chloe let her words get the better of her.
"Oh, snap."
"Great! I can feed Mama forever! I can have hundreds of hit shows, milkshakes, and an entire army of Storm Creature servants! Get the girls to come back here."
"You got it, your majesty." A guard said.
"Gallus, throw her in the dungeon." Twilight said, pointing to Chloe.
"What?" Chloe said.
Gallus and another guard grabbed Chloe by the arms.
"Hey, let me go!" Chloe shouted.
"Make sure she won't escape, like the wild dog we got earlier."
"Wait, you mean Peter?" Chloe asked.
"He's probably suffering out all alone now." Twilight taunted. "Take her away!"
The guards escorted Chloe away. In turn, Twilight turned to the Storm Creature servants.
"You got big potential, and you know that." Twilight said.
