ECIS

Twilight woke up to sirens just outside of her tree home. She didn't think anything about it, so she went downstairs to get some breakfast. Spike had the breakfast laid out already, but was nowhere in sight. She was disturbed in the middle of breakfast when she heard a knock on the door. She walked up to the door, opened it, then stepped back in fear.

It was Lion Heart. He looked very tired, as if he was up all night. Twilight began to ask herself, 'What happened?'. After a few minutes of silence, his facial expression went for tired to very sad. "Twilight," he began. "I'm afraid it happened again," he finished. He dreaded to speak the news, but he lost the bet of who would tell her to the other officers.

Twilight couldn't even imagine who it was, but her expression turned from fear to sadness. "W-w-who," she asked, on the brink of crying. Lion Heart felt angry at himself for making her cry, 'but it's for the best,' he thought. "It's Pinkie Pie. She's been ponynapped," he stated, trying to stay calm to keep Twilight calm. It didn't work.

The floodgates that are Twilight's eyes finally release the buildup. She nearly tackled Lion Heart, crying on the shoulder of the nearest pony. Lion Heart was worried that he may have overdone it just a little bit. "Ssshhhh. It'll be okay, Twilight."

At least he hoped so.

'W-What the,' Pinkie thought, finally waking up. She wanted to move her hooves, but they were locked into place by various ropes. She tried to look around, but it was too dark for her to see anything. Though, she could feel that she was somewhere damp, and on something soft. "Where am I," she said out loud, not expecting an answer. But she got one.

"Shut up, loser," a harsh voice told her. All of a sudden, Pinkie was blinded by a bright light above her. As her eyes dilated, she saw it! Right above Pinkie's head was a very large griffin, who she knew all too well, hovering above the cowering pony. "Gilda," Pinkie asked, with a puzzled expression. Gilda just laughed at the tied up pink pony. "Dork, don't even remember your old friend," Gilda said, chuckling to herself.

She landed on top of her captured pony, looking deep into her eyes. Pinkie just looked away, cowering, wanting to be home with her friends and away from this psychotic griffin. "What's wrong pinks, want to be home," Gilda asked, Pinkie just nodding in response. "Well, you are," she said, laughing maniacally. Pinkie looked around the room, seeing that they were in the basement of the bakery. Pinkie then realized that her fate was upon her, as she was Inclosed in a tomb of soundproof cement.

Pinkie began to cry as Gilda stopped laughing and said, "Goodnight, my little whore," as Pinkie passed out.

After a day of looking, Twilight and her friends returned to the tree that she called home for much needed rest. They had been looking all over the place for any clue of the lost pink pony. They were unsuccessful and stopped, hoping for better luck tomorrow.

"What do we do now, Twilight," Rarity asked, sitting down in a nearby chair. "I don't know, but we can't give up," Twilight spoke, walking over to the window and looking out in the sky. 'Please Rainbow, help us," Twilight thought, seeing Rainbow Dash flying all over. She suddenly saw a large rainbow form over her home, as if Rainbow Dash was answering her. Rarity got up from her seat and walked towards Twilight, putting a hoof over her shoulder, and said, "She's watching us from afar. I just know she is, darling," smiling at the thinking unicorn. "I guess," Twilight replied, feeling emotional again.

Twilight regained her composure, left Rarity at the window, and sat down next to Applejack. "What do you suppose we do next," Twilight asked. "Ah don't know," Applejack replied. Twilight got up to get a map of Ponyville and the surrounding areas for the three ponies to plan for the next day.

"Well, we looked through the entire town," Twilight began, formulating a plan of action. Applejack and Rarity sat on the couch, listening to the commanding pony. "So the only places to look know would be in the forests," she continued, hearing the gasps from the other ponies. "But Twilight, it's far too dangerous to go into the Everfree Forest," Rarity said, interrupting the silence that had been in the air. "I know, that's why we'll look there last. Pinkie would never go in there without the rest of us. So, we'll go investigate Whitetail Woods first," Twilight said, the others could only nod at the pony's plan.

--------------------------------------------------An Hour Later------------------------------------------------

"I think I'll be taking my leave now, girls. Must get my beauty sleep and all that," Rarity said, getting off the couch to leave. "Ok, Rarity. Good night," Twilight said. Once Rarity left, the library became quite. Twilight and Applejack just stared at each other, not moving a single muscle as the nearby clock's tick became louder.

"I'm going to go check on Spike," Twilight said, an awkward feeling hanging in the air between the cowpony and herself. As Twilight climbed the stairs, Applejack turned around. 'Oh, Twilight, why must you be so sexy' Applejack thought, looking at the flank that was moving about. She was just about to get up to see what there was to eat, when she heard Twilight scream. Applejack got up, and ran up the stairs to Twilight's bedroom.

As Applejack got up the stairs, she saw Twilight passed out on the floor next to a decapitated Spike. Applejack wanted to faint as well, but she heard a strange knocking on the window. Applejack approached the window, and found Spike's head tied to a limb that was hitting the window.

Applejack went to the bathroom quickly to puke up what little she had ate during the day. She came back to awaken Twilight from her unconscious state. As Twilight woke up, she began to cry over the shoulder of the friend she had in the room. Applejack became very thankful that it hadn't been one of the rest of the three girls.

As Twilight calmed down, she asked Applejack, "Will you stay with me?" "Of course, just go downstairs. Ah'll clean up here," Applejack responded. Twilight nodded, and sulked down the stairs. Applejack went about cleaning up all the dragon's blood and his body, putting it in a bag with his head that was somehow cut down.

'This is not how I planned tonight,' Applejack thought, while taking the bloody bag out back. 'I had dinner ready, and dancing later. But now, that's all ruined,' she continued her self-ranting as entered the door. Twilight stopped sobbing long enough to recognize her, but then went back. "How about you try to get some sleep, Twilight," Applejack said. "W-Will you s-sleep with m-me t-tonight," Twilight replied in between sobs. "Sure," Applejack said, all most jumping at the occasion of sleeping with Twilight, even if it was just to comfort her.

As they walked up the stairs, Applejack couldn't help but look at the Twilight's flank again. She shuddered, luckily Twilight didn't notice. Twilight got into the bed first, as Applejack went to turn off the light. Applejack got in, snuggled into Twilight, and told her, "Good night," looked at Twilight, seeing that she was asleep, and continued, "my love."
