My Little Pony: Ignorance is Bliss

Disclaimer: I do not own My Little Pony Friendship is Magic

I lead every pony out of the dimly lit tunnel. We each take a few jewels with us because the diamond dogs all ran away and probably won't be coming back. I crawl through the exit and take a deep breath of fresh air. Honey Flower puts a hoof over her eyes.

" It's…It's… So bright." She says as her head emerges from the hole. Her mouth hangs open. "Look at the sky, everypony. It's so beautiful. Look at all the pretty grass, trees and flowers." Her eyes fill with tears of joy.

"It is nice, isn't it? So many ponies take all of this scenery for granted." Thunder Wing says.

"I hate to burst your bubble, but we don't have much time to sniff the roses. We have a princess to find." I say.

"Jinx, where should we go next?" Thunder Wing asks.

"I think that we should take a bath." Honey Flower says. Her yellow coat is covered in mud for the year of being underground and her body is sweaty from pushing carts.

"Okay, we'll go to my house and get cleaned up, but be quick about it. I don't want to lose too much daylight." I say.

We trot over to my house and wipe our hooves on the welcome mat. I show them to the bathroom. Honey Flower turns on the water and hops in the bathtub.

"Where are we going next?" Thunder Wing asks.

"I think we should ask ponies if they've seen the princess and look for clues. If that doesn't work we might have to go to the graveyard and dig up skeletons. If the skeleton has a horn and wings it might be the princess. I'll have to get permission from the mayor." I say.

"That's disgusting." He says.

"There were a few skeletons of ponies in the Diamond dog tunnel, but none of them look like it would belong to her. They're already dead you might as well dig them up." I say.

"Do we even have any clues?" He asks.

"I found a feather on her bed. It might be from the pillow so I'm not sure if it's a clue or not. And I found a golden hair on her pillow." I say.

"That might be my hair." He says.

"I dusted for hoof prints last night. I found a few small ones but her hooves have probably changed by now. Nothing seems to be adding up yet." I say.

"Maybe we should find more ponies to help look for her." He says.

"Sounds like a good idea to me." I say. Honey Flower comes out of the bathroom. Her mane is no longer tangled and her hooves and her yellow coat is clean.

"You look great." Thunder Wing says.

"Thanks." She says.

I hear something hit my window. We gallop outside to see what it is.

"Who are you?" I ask.

"That's my friend Derpy Hooves, she lives in Cloudsdale." Thunder Wing says.

"What happened to you?" Honey Flower asks.

"I saw Thunder Wing so I went to go say hello but I didn't see the window and then I fell and then a unicorn asked me who I am and then Thunder Wing introduced me and then you asked me what happened to me." She says.

"Is she going to be okay?" I ask looking down at the cross eyed mare. She s laying in the grass with her legs sprawled out.

"Yeah she flies into worse things." Thunder Wing says.

" I'm just glad she didn't hurt herself too badly." Honey Flower says removing the towel wrapped around her mane.

"I'm just glad she didn't break the glass. That stuff can cut you in a billion pieces and it's a real pain in the flank to clean up." I say.

"What are you doing here, Thunder Wing. I was looking all over Cloudsdale for you." Derpy Hooves says.

"I'm just helping my new friends; Sprinklejinx and Honey Flower solve a mystery." He says. Did he just call us his friends? "We need to find princess Cloudstar."

"Can I help?" She asks.

"Sure you can." Hone Flower says.

"Where have you been?" Rainbow Dash asks.

"I found Thunder Wing. I'm going to be a mystery solver." Derpy Hooves says.

"You mean like a detective?" Rainbow Dash asks.

"Yeah, I'm going to find Princess Loudcar." She says proudly.

"I think you mean Cloudstar." I say.

"Wait, isn't she the mare who won the best young flyer competition and did a Sonic Rainboom to save her friend." He says.

"Yes, I am. Didn't you meet the Wonderbolts?" She says.

"I was going to be a Wonderbolt but I turned them down." He says.

"You did WHAT?" Rainbow Dash says.

"I didn't want to quit working for Princess Cadence." Thunder Wing says.

"I'd give anything to be one of them." She says.

"Why don't you help find the princess? I'll put in a good word for you with the Wonderbolts." He says.

"Sounds great, I'll have my friends help you out too when you need it. Just meet me at Sweet Apple Acres tonight at eight thirty, okay." She says.

"No problem." I say. Thunder Wing and Honey Flower nod in agreement.
