Chapter 2- A Visit to Raritys House

Twilight knocks on the door of Rarity’s house. Rarity opened the door and greeted Twilight in a very friendly manner. “Oh Hi Twilight! What can I do for you dear?”

Twilight stood there as Moonbeam stepped forward and she held a hoof to reveal her to Rarity. “Hello Rarity! Say I was wondering, can you clean up my friend Moonbeam and give him... er, I mean, her a set of clothes?”

Rarity replied to Twilight in a very excited manner, mainly for her love of fashion, “Oh of course Darling! Come on in!” Rarity walked her to the back of her shop and brought out some of her more recently made dresses, then held up an almost blindingly bright dress. “Darling, this sparkly dress will fit you perfectly!” Rarity exclaimed as Spike burst out laughing on the floor and said while holding his side, still laughing uncontrollably,

“AH HA HA HA! YES! That would be PERFECT for hi- I mean her to wear!” Moonbeam growled at Spike ferociously and cracked a fake smile, choking back her pride. “Of course Rarity... that looks really nice... but can I get something less... sparkly? Maybe spiky wiky would want a dress also...?” She said teasing spike, and scrunching her face up into a cute expression to mock him.

Rarity looked at Spike, then back at Moonbeam, “Ah yes, of course dear, something less sparkly coming right up! But as for Spike, he is a dragon. So, sorry Spiky, I can't let you wear a dress dear...it might be cute and all, but I don't have the appropriate size for you.”

Spike walked out, glaring at Moonbeam as Twilight walked in and asked, “How is everything going Moonbeam?”

Moonbeam just looked down and sighs, then says, “Please control Spike for me! He is really getting on my nerves!”

Twilight shuffled her hooves nervously and let out a small, light hearted laugh, “Sorry... Spike has been acting very... differently, lately but I will try control him.” Rarity ran into the room and was so excited she could hardly breathe!

Rarity held up a black dress with red around the edges, obviously it reminded her of what Moonbeam looked like, “Darling, I found a splendid dress that will be absolutely gorgeous on you!” Rarity, in almost a blur of speed, put the dress on Moonbeam.

Moonbeam looked at herself and chose her words carefully, “I-I guess this is good enough... Thank you Rarity!”

Twilight giggled a bit at this display and got a straight face again, cleared her throat and apologized, “Oh, s-sorry Moonbeam, I just never thought of you ever wearing that and it actually fitting you well.”

Rarity put the hanger on the rack and said “Oh, you very Welcome Dear! You seem oddly familiar to a pony I know... could it be possible that you’re Moonwing’s sister? You two look like practically the same pony! Well, with the exception of your genders...”

Twilight covered her face at this comment as Moonbeam replied to Rarity with, “I’m not his sister, but I’m his cousin, Moonbeam, nice to meet you Rarity!” She held out a hoof to show they should shake hooves, and Rarity hesitated for a second, then grabbed her hoof and they shook.

The the shop bells rang, followed by Rarity calling out to the customer, “Welcome, I’ll be right with you!” A delivery colt walked in with a bunch of cloth fabric for Rarity, and looked at Moonbeam, then the colt blushes.

He gave the fabrics to Rarity and knelt in front of Moonbeam and sincerely said perfectly as if he’d recited it for a million mares prior, “Madam, may I have thy name? And may I say you are wearing such a beautiful dress!”

Twilight looked in horror and shock, all that came out of her mouth was a small gasp and an, “Oh no!” She starts to flip through a book she had conveniently brought with her, She whispered to herself, “It doesn't say anything about a colt liking a colt in this love book! Oh wait, Moonwing is physically a mare right now... so I guess its ok?”

The colt stood up and offered his left hoof to her, “ May I take you to a date?” Moonbeam gasped, plenty of shock value is seen in her eyes by everyone, but the colt and Rarity think it’s excitement!

Rarity jumped into the conversation and quickly made up Moonbeams mind for her, “That Sounds like a splendid idea! Plus, you are in that fabulous dress right now! You really should go with him Moonbeam!” Twilight is just shaking her head in the back with surprise, disgust, and shock all at once.

Moonbeam looked at Rarity and the colt, thinking up an excuse to get out of this predicament, “Sorry... umm... I already have a special somepony...” Moonbeam blushes, her burnt black cheeks turning crimson and hot. The colt just looked down and started to walk away slowly.

Suddenly, he rushed back to her and offered, “why don't we just go to Sugarcube Corner for a muffin? You know, as friends?” He tried to talk her into it as Moonbeam looked over her shoulder at Twilight who nodded.

Moonbeam didn’t know what to do, so she just slowly replied, “Umm... I guess its ok...” and started to head toward the door of the shop.

Before they left, Twilight stopped Moonbeam and whispered to her, “I will be following you guys just to be safe. Just remember, don't take off the coat, ok?”

Moonbeam just replied with a confused, “...ok...”

The two ponies walked towards sugarcube corner, followed by Twilight and Spike of course, but there was a shadow of a pony also following behind them..

The two arrived at sugarcube corner and took a table. The colt pulled a chair for Moonbeam and said ever so elegantly, “Here you go Madam.” Moonbeam sat on the chair as the colt held his hoof in the air and said, “May I also have your coat to put on the hanger?”

Moonbeam remembered what Twilight said, so she held onto the coat tightly and replied to the colt with, “Oh, no, I think I’m fine! I will keep this coat! Really, it’s okay!” The colt got the hint and just sat down.

Pinkie pie suddenly appeared out of nowhere and just exclaimed in her overly happy mood, “FUN! FUN! FUN! HI! What do you two lovebirds want to order today!” As she said this, her party cannon went off in the background, along with streamers and other party materials being blasted all over the bakery.

The Colt ordered for him and his companion in this, ‘friendly outing,’ knowing exactly what to order, “Yes, may I have one muffin for me, and one for this beautiful mare here.”

“Okie dokie lokie!” Pinkie confirmed, bouncing away with the order pad in her mouth. She stopped dead in her tracks as she turned and bounced right back on over to Moonbeam. Pinkie gave a huge gasp, then she was replaced with a smoke silhouette of her, which stayed for about two seconds then dispersed.

The colt was shuffling his hooves nervously, he started scanning the area to see Twilight with glasses and a fake mustache staring at them one table over. The colt looked at Moonbeam and smiles,he chuckles and asked in a hushed voice, “Uh, why are you friends staring at me?”

Meanwhile, at Twilight’s table, Spike covered his face and pointed out the obvious, “This will never work Twilight!!!”

Twilight spyed carefully in Moonbeam’s direction and without diverting attention stated, “No, this will work because I’m following the books instructions perfectly!” she handed Spike the book and spike read the title. “How to Stay Hidden the Easy Way”

Spike just looked at her like she was completely stupid, “Seriously Twilight, this will not work! I bet they already know we’re here?!?”

Back at the other table, Moonbeam looked over at Twilight, who was trying to cover her face underneath the table and awkwardly said to the Colt, “Umm... they’re just here because they’re worried about me.”

The colt just shrugged it off, thinking it was just mares being the way they were raised, “Ok I guess. Wait, where are my manners? I didn't introduce myself yet! My name is Bolt Heartstring nice to meet you miss!”

Moonbeam smiled at him and says “Nice to meet you Bolt.” She had been thinking as she said this that it WAS rather odd that they had been together at a table for nearly 15 minutes and they hadn’t exchanged names. She replied to Bolt with her name, “I’m Moonbeam.”

Bolt shuffled his feet and asked shyly, “Who is your special somepony if I may ask?” Moonbeam was just about to say something when suddenly Bolt hugs Moonbeam and starts dramatically crying onto her, “I just need a hug! I’m SOOOO lonely.” he continued crying as Moonbeam was in shock while she was being hugged by this random colt that she just met not even thirty minutes prior.

She started conforting him awkwardly, stroking his mane and soothly saying, “There, there, Bolt.” She had gotten the chance to yank him off of herself and took it. She put her hooves on his shoulders and firmly layed down the ground rules, “Look, hugging is ok, but no further than that ok?” Bolt just nodded as Moonbeam starts thinking “Ok, I feel a bit sorry for him and I want to help him out... and he is kind of... cute... WAIT! Why am I thinking like that!? I’m a colt, not a mare!” She shook her head free of the thought, then, Bolt suddenly hugs her again and that scares Moonbeam and she emits a high pitched squeak.

Chapter 3- Colt of the Shadows

Twilight was jumping like a maniac behind Bolt, signaling to Moonbeam to come to her. Moonbeam looked at bolt with a nervous smile and awkwardly asked, “Would you excuse me for a moment?”

Bolt being the nice colt that he is also let go of her and obviously replied with an understanding, “Of course.”

Moonbeam walked casually outside of the shop where Twilight was waiting for her. Twilight started to question and scold her at the same time, Moonbeam wasn’t really quite sure which Twilight was. “Why are you two so close? It seems like you guys like each other, wasn't this just supposed to be a friendly date?” She sounded to Moonbeam like she was both confused and slightly angry.

Moonbeam dug her hoof into the dirt and said in a not so sure way, “No we are not that close, but that weirdo keeps hugging me and I can't do a thing!”

Twilight just looked over at Bolt, then back at Moonbeam and reminded her, “Just remember, you’re not going to stay in this form forever, so please try not to fall in love right now ok?”

Moonbeam swatted the air with her hoof and turned her head away with a look on her face that showed she knew what she was doing, while at the same time looking like she hasn’t got a clue even as to how to breathe, let alone deal with the situation, “Of course! I already have a special somepony I like.”

Twilight gave a suspicious look and slowly said “Alrighty...” with an uncertain sound to her voice.
Moonbeam asked Twilight where Spike went, which Twilight replied with, “I sent him to fetch me a book from the library a while ago...” She trailed off.
“But he didn't come back yet?" Moonbeam said, shrugging it off like it was nothing, then she started walking back inside towards the table where Bolt was, while Twilight headed back to her other table, still unsure as to how Moonbeam was taking all this.

Bolt smiled with a nervous smile, but he was trying to hide this nervousness. The waitress saved his flank as she carefully put the tray of muffins down on the table. Bolt gave a huge sigh of relief, his nervousness was getting the better of him and this meant that he could stare at Moonbeam while she ate, “Welcome back! The muffins are here!” Moonbeam sat down and took the muffin between her two hooves and started to nibble slowly on the baked delicacy. Bolt just stared at her with a creepy smile and asked “How is the muffin?”

Moonbeam with her mouth full replied with an awkward smile, her cheeks turning redder than Big Mac’s coat of fur, “Um... uh... yeah, thanks! Um, i-it’s good" looking back at Twilight, she mouthed to her friend, "Please... help me!" with a sad face which Twilight felt really guilty for. She wouldn’t feel as guilty if only Moonbeam really was who everypony thought she was.

Bolt smiled at her with relief, “I’m Glad you like it!” Bolt looked at Moonbeam with a serious face and asked her, no longer nervous, “Do you believe that humans exist?”

Moonbeam coughed up the muffin and dropped it on her plate and tried to come up with an answer, “I guess... in a way...” she trailed off as she scooted the chair farther away from Bolt. Looking around to try to avoid eye contact, while she looked around, she noticed a sad Derpy mourning over the muffin in which she spit out, but that was the least of Moonbeams problems at the moment.

Bolt started smiling and moved his chair closer to her, passing and completely ignoring the now traumatized Derpy. He came in close to Moonbeam and said in an excited, yet calm voice, “Finally! A pony that believes in humans too! My sister Lyra also believes in humans too!” As he finished this thought, the shops lights sparked, a huge pop was heard and the lights went out. This left the whole shop, customers and such, in total darkness. The wind was blowing strongly into the shop and the floor started squeaking. A dark figured appeared with glowing, red eyes standing over Moonbeam, then, in a FLASH! And a thud, knocked her unconscious, and the dark figure picked her up and held her limp body. Bolt tried to fight back by jumping and aiming a punch at this figure, but was easily knocked away. The blow was so hard that he was lying on the ground barely conscious, trying to yell for Moonbeam, but he couldn’t make a sound as the hit had knocked all the breathe out of him. Twilight also tried fighting back, even though she’s not all for violence, fought back as well, questioning who it was who was doing this. The dark figure didn’t reply, it just hit her harder than Bolt was hit, making Twilight instantaneously pass out.

The next day, Bolt awoke for his realisation of Moonbeams capture to set in, “Oh no, th-they took her...” Bolt looked around the shop and it was all a disaster area, all the windows were broken, the tables too. He stood up and when he started to walk through the debris, he noticed a muffin on the ground. It was Moonbeam’s half eaten muffin that Moonbeam was nibbling on, then Derpy mourning over, Derpy was no longer in sight, but you could certainly hear her underneath some rubble trying to speak. He picked the muffin up and start licking and kissing it with passion, creepy passion, but passion nonetheless.

Then, suddenly he hears Twilight call to him in a shocked voice, “What the hay are you doing?!” She just stood there with a weird look on her face. Bolt, embarrassed from what he was doing hid the muffin behind his back and awkwardly replied with, ”Umm.....I was... checking if this muffin wasn't tampered with.....” he smiled, then under his breathe said “Yeah, heh heh, that’s what I’m doing.”

Twilight, still with a weird look on her face tried to just forget about what she just witnessed, “Ok.... never mind about what you did, the important thing is Moonbeam. She was taken somewhere by somepony in all black and darkness! That pony was really strong too... anyway, we need to find her!”

Bolt suddenly realised how stupid he was, wasting time with that muffin when he could find the real thing to do that to. He ran outside the shop looking back and forth, trying to find tracks of where that pony might have gone. He was in total panic mode at this point, “I should have protected her....but I was too weak...” he started to cry a bit, just like before. He stomped his hooves on the ground like he was ready to go find his dream ‘mare.’

Twilight galloped outside after Bolt, “Are you ok Bolt, why are you crying?” Bolt just looked back at Twilight, wiped his tears and said, trying to conserve his dignity, “No I’m not crying! This is just uh... liquid pride..!”

Twilight giggled at this statement for it reminded her of her brother, “Ok, calm down Stallion...” she put her right hoof on his left shoulder, “We will find her, don't worry about it... Plus, she won't give in without a fight! Ok, I’m gonna to go back to the library to find a tracking spell using this.” she levitated the half eaten muffin with Bolt’s drool all over it. “I saw a spell book somewhere in the library.” the pony started to gallop towards the library followed by Bolt.

They both arrived at the library, Twilight rushed in and the first thing she noticed was Spike on the ground, frozen solid in stone. Twilight rushed toward Spike, crying out, “SPIKE! Spike, oh no... who could have done this to you?* she started to cry when she noticed a white piece of paper gripped firmly in his little paw.

She started to read it, “Twilight and Moonbeam, RUN! Ther-” there were some words after those four, but they were scratched out. Her initial thought was, ”That pony must have turned Spike into stone before he could send that message...” With that, Twilight pondered for a bit...

Chapter 4- The Missing Mares

Twilight looks down at the statue of Spike and she said “How am I supposed to free you from this stone trap.....”.

Bolt walked towards Twilight and put his hoof on her shoulder and said “Don't worry about Spike right now! I’m sure if we get the kidnappers they will know how to turn everything back to normal and to get my beloved Moonbeam! But first we need to find that tracking spell that you’re talking about?”

Twilight looked up at Bolt and replied, “Yeah that is true...” She walked towards one of the bookshelves and searched for the book that contained the required spell. Twilight found the book and opened it, “Okay, found it, lets start chanting the spell” Twilight placed the muffin on the table and aimed her horn and started chanting the spell “Aysafa sheti fa, toe nika lo fana muffin nictoh.”

The muffin started floating in the middle of the room, Bolt’s eyes turned big, amazed and entranced by the muffin that was now floating and glowing brightly. Suddenly everything stopped, the muffin fell to the ground, crumbs flying everywhere. Bolt shook his head and curiously asked “Whoa, what happened? D-did it work!?”

Twilight just shook her head and told him, “No, it didn't work. Something is interfering with the tracking spell!” she examined the muffin a bit and noticed some nasty, gooey, sticky drool from Bolt’s... ‘examination,’ earlier.

Bolt looked closely at the muffin, too confused on what Twilight was pondering, so he asked, “What wrong?!”

Twilight just looked at Bolt with anger, then pointed a hoof at the muffin, then to him, all while saying in an agitated manner, “Your drool is interfering with the tracking spell! Now we can't find Moonbeam!”

Bolt was shocked because of Twilight’s sudden outburst of anger. His head lowered as he moved his hoof around at the ground guiltily, apologizing in a very sad way, “I’m sorry Twilight... I... I didn’t mean for that to happen...”

Twilight just looked at Bolt with teary eyes and sobbed lightly, “What should we do!?” Bolt started to slowly walk backwards and mistakenly hit statue of Spike. When it was about to fall over though, something was holding it up. Twilight examined the statue closely and saw a transparent string connected to the statue and ran all over the library. Twilight pulled one of the strings off and looked at it, which had a smile crack onto her face as she exclaimed, “We Still have a chance to find the kidnappers with this string!”

Meanwhile, Moonbeam woke up in a dark, moist cave. Her hooves were handcuffed to the wall of the cave,
but still had the coat on that Twilight had given her not long ago, “W-where am I?” she was still feeling weak from the impact earlier. She scanned her surroundings and saw nopony in sight, just the dreadful, eerie sound of water dripping onto the cold stone floor. Moonbeam started to panic “Twilight, you there? Spike? Bolt?” suddenly, she heard somepony walk into the cave. A dark outline of a muscular, well built stallion came into the light of the torch where Moonbeam was.

The figure cracked a huge, devious smile and greeted his prisoner, “Well hello there sweetie pie, I’m glad you finally woke up!” he put his hoof on Moonbeam’s chin and brought his head to eye level with her. Moonbeam thought quickly and headbutted the pony, causing him to jump back.

As he rubbed his head with his hoof, Moonbeam got a chance to examine him. The stallion had vanilla colored fur, his chin had a small black patch of hair in the fashion of a goatee. He had a sort of blue muscle shirt with a black vest over it. The shirt was pulled open to show his unnatural pony abs. His eyes were a deep, dark blue, while his mane was long and tied into a ponytail. His cutie mark showed a telescope with a dollar sign behind it and a revolver. When he spoke, he had a light, spanish accent to compliment him.

He finished rubbing his head and grabbed Moonbeam’s chin again, bringing her face back to meet his as he chuckled lightly, “Heh, quite the feisty one you are.”

Moonbeam just growled at him, “You should probably know that I am a stallion not a mare!”
This magnificently built pony just laughed “AH HA HA HA! Sure you are!” He slapped her on the flank, resulting in a squeak of fright. The stallion smiled at the obviously uncomfortable mare, “Well, if you’re a stallion, then I am a peacock!”

Moonbeam snarled like a rabid dog at this mockery from the stallion, “What do you want from me!? What are your motives?”

The stallion just walked towards her and had a smile on his face, “Well I was just looking for a nice mare to shine my hooves for me! But looks like you found me out!” he joked as walked away from her towards the door. He stopped and said real quietly, yet still loud enough for her to hear, “Well, and a mare to be my wife...”

“Wait, WHAT!?”

“Toodaloo my sweet!” he called as he waved a hoof to her mockingly and walked out.

Moonbeam sat up against the wall, tears flowing down her cheeks at this situation, “Twilight... Spike... where are you two?”

While Moonbeam’s dilemma occurred, Twilight got the string and gently placed it on the table, she got her horn ready and started chanting the spell once again. Twilight’s eyes glowed bright and she had a vision of Moonbeam in the cave crying as she whimpered for her friends to help. Before she could carefully examine where this took place, her vision zoomed out suddenly. It showed a familiar mountain that Twilight had seen before, but where?

She scratched her chin while she paced back and forth, trying to remember where she had seen those mountains before. Bolt was busy focused on a book he was reading as Twilight’s voice suddenly shouted out and made Bolt jump nearly ten feet in the air. “SHE’S IN THE CRYSTAL MOUNTAINS!”

Bolt nearly had a heart attack, but he didn’t care. He got up holding his chest and asked the mare, “Whoa, are you sure? Well then what are we waiting for Twilight, let’s go and save Moonbeam!”

He began a gallop out of the room as Twilight grabbed him with her hoof, “Wait! We need to discuss this information with princess Celestia!”

Bolt just looked at Twilight as if she was crazy and he stomped a hoof on the ground, “We don’t have time! We need to save Moonbeam, RIGHT NOW!”

Twilight gave him the same look back that she had received, “We need to know more about this mysterious dark kidnapper! If we go now, we will be running into our own demise. We don’t even know who we are facing, for all we know it could be a follower of Sombra and I have a feeling that the princess will know just who he is!”

Bolt just sighed and admitted that Twilight was correct. Twilight and Bolt decided that they needed to get to Celestia as quickly as possible, so Twilight had Bolt hold onto her tail with his mouth. She wasn’t used to teleporting with more than just herself. Bolt firmly held onto her tail with his teeth as Twilight concentrated and in a flash, they were outside Canterlot. Bolt’s ribcage tingled and he laughed from how much it tingled, “Yeah, it tickles the first time you teleport.” Twilight informed him, out of breathe from the spell. They sat there for a minute until they both felt normal again and before either can say a word, Twilight started a run towards the castle. They were totally oblivious to anypony they passed, bumping into pretty much any who got in their way, even accidentally knocking over a ladder with paint on it and it got all over the window of a dress and tuxedo shop. They just kept running because of the urgency of the situation, only calling ‘sorry’ back at anypony who they knock over or ruin something they have with them.

They got to the castle and tried running past the guards at the entrance, but were stopped, “Please! We need to see the princess! It’s an emergency!” The guards just held up their spears to keep them back until Luna had called down from her watch tower for them to let her pass.

“GUARDS! LET HER THROUGH! SHE’S TRUSTWORTHY!” This was a little weird to Twilight, usually the Royal Guard always let her through, but something bad must have happened to make them so alert.

They were escorted into Celestia’s throne room where she greeted the two, “Hello Twilight, my faithful student! What happens to bring you all the way down to Canterlot?”

“Princess! There’s been an emergency! My friend, Moonbeam, was taken in a raid by some evil dark pony! I-”

“No need to say anymore Twilight, I already know about him. If you couldn’t tell, the security has been on high alert around here.” Celestia replied, no longer giving off a happy smile but instead, having a very serious expression.

“But princess, how do you know about this pony?” Twilight replied quizzically.

Celestia sighed, “Well my student, you remember Muleio, the kingdoms best demolishions engineer?”

“Yes, but what does that have to do with Moonbeam, or this mysterious pony?”

“Well, I caught him a few weeks ago snooping around the castle. I had told him that if the Royal Guard or I see him anywhere near the castle, he’d be sent into exile in the Everfree Forest. But before he had left the city, he vowed to exact revenge on the kingdom. Recently we have been seeing a figure appear all around the castle; When the figure would appear, soon after mares would disappear. The cook, maid, royal adviser, these are all examples of who has disappeared shortly after this figure would appear.”

“Well, I guess that explains all the security then.” Bolt came into the conversation, but the two mares just ignored him.

“Well I think I may know where he is hiding out. I used a tracking spell and my vision showed the Crystal Mountains. I have a feeling that not only will we find the villain in this, but Moonbeam and all the other mares who have turned up missing.”

“Okay, I’ll send some guards to help you aprehend-” Celestia was cut off by Bolt who came into the conversation with passion.

“Wait! Keep your guards, we can do this ourselves!” He said with a lot of passion in his voice. He just thought to himself about how much of a hero he would look like to Moonbeam when they showed up and saved her, no help being given from Celestia.

Twilight grabbed him and whispered in his ear, “Bolt! Are you crazy!? We don’t even know how powerful this guy is, he could have an army for all we know!”

“Please Twilight, I just want to look good for Moonbeam...” He gave a puppy dog face to Twilight to try and convince her.

“Ugh, fine! But if we get hurt, I’m blaming you!” she turned to the princess, “Uh... yes princess... you may want to keep your guards here... for protection!”

Okay...” Celestia replied with skepticism in her eyes, “But you may want to take some supplies for your journey.” Celestia’s horn started to glow as a bag of bits floated over to the two ponies, “Quickly, we don’t need any more ponies going missing!”

Bolt and Twilight thanked the princess and headed towards a thrift store just outside of town, as they walked, they apologized to all the ponies who they had rudely bashed out of the way during their trip to the castle. They finally made it at the thrift store, where they had used the provided bits to acquire: two sleeping bags, two water canteens, 10 ready to eat meals, and a small metal sword for Bolt that had a unicorn crest on the handle. He held it in his mouth and the store owner let him test it out on a couple of rotting wood barrels. After cutting the wood barrels with ease, he decided to purchase it, for self defense purposes. Before they headed out, Twilight turned to Bolt and put her front two hooves on his shoulders,

“Bolt before we go, I have to warn you that this journey will be dangerous. It is of the utmost importance that you be careful in the event we get separated, are you ready?”

Bolt gave a noble stance, “Of course I’m ready, I was born for this moment!”

The journey through the expanding forest took at least an hour; The scent of pine trees filled the air, it smelled lovely so Bolt took advantage of it, and smelled the scent of the forest, “Hmm., that sweet smell of fresh, clean, all natural air.”

Twilight just looked at the relaxed stallion, “We are not here for vacation you know, we are on the journey to find Moonbeam and the missing mares!”

Bolt just waved her off, as if he completely forgot about Moonbeam, “Yeah, yeah, I know that! Ooh my beloved Moonbeam is captured and waiting for her prince charming to come to her rescue!” Twilight just rolled her eyes at his cliched mindset and continued walking. Suddenly she heard something rustling around in the bushes.

Twilight just looked towards where the bush was, “Bolt... did you just hear something? You know, in the bushes?”

Bolt just shook his head, “Nope, must have just been a squirrel or something.”

Twilight started biting her bottom lip and started getting paranoid and started looking back and forth as she hopped between her hooves in fear, “I swear I heard something...”

The sun was setting quickly; Bolt knew they had to set camp and make the fires to keep themselves warm. Bolt set out to get some firewood while Twilight was setting the tents and the fireplace. The first time Bolt came back he only brought three twigs of wood and told Twilight to make a fire out of it. Twilight got frustrated and yelled at him to get usable firewood instead of three twigs. Bolt chuckled from this little joke he played on her and walked over to a tree, still laughing, and pulled a stack of six logs he stuck there. He laughed harder at Twilight’s impatience with his little display

Bolt placed two logs of wood in the fireplace then brought out flint and steel and proceeded to try and make a fire while Twilight watched with a doubtful look on her face, “Are you sure you know how to use that?”

Bolt just puffed up his chest with pride, “Yeah, I was in pony scouts when i was a colt and they taught me everything about surviving out in the wild!”

Twilight just smiled and told him to prove it, “Okay then, show how you make a fire with a flint and steel then.”

Bolt looked a bit worried and tried to look confident, “Uh, first we need to hit the flint on the steel... and... er, try to make a spark?”

“I don’t know, do you? I wouldn’t know, you’re the survival expert.”

Bolt tried his best, but the flint suddenly broke and Bolt just smiled sheepishly, “Umm... that was... that was supposed to happen...” Twilight just rolled her eyes, pushed Bolt aside, and used her magic to create the fire. Twilight and Bolt got the two sleeping bags out, made them comfortable, and they slept on the different side of the camp fire.

The next day, Twilight was the first awake; She shook Bolt awake. He was drooling an ocean on the dirt floor as Twilight showed some disgust and shook him awake, “Wake up! Wake up!”

Bolt started mumbling, as if still in his dream, “Is it breakfast mommy?” Twilight just slapped Bolt awake and Bolt’s face was shot with pain as he yelped out a scream of pain!.

“Finally! you’re awake!”

Bolt just looked up at her as if she were a dictator, “Oh sorry, master! But I’m awake now!” he tried to stand up, but fell back down asleep, forgetting completely about the pain in his face.

Twilight just looked at Bolt impatiently, “Do you want to save Moonbeam or what? We don’t have much time left and we don’t know what they are doing with her right now!” Twilight started tearing up, regretting that this whole thing had happened. What saddened her the most was that she might never see the male counterpart, Moonwing, ever again. What if she can’t get her back to her male life? “This is my fault! Moonbeam is in trouble all because I turned her into...” Twilight just stopped herself right there. Bolt was curious on what she was about to say, but she just shrugged it off, acting cool about it, “Oh uh, just forget about it! It’s not important!” Twilight got everything back into the bag and gave it to Bolt, who decided to carry it.

They started walking more into the woods, heading towards the crystal mountains where the dark pony, who was suspected to be Muleio, must be keeping Moonbeam. As they walked though, five ponies, two pegasi, three unicorns, came out of the bushes with knives and ambushed them. One of them got hold of Twilight and held her with a knife to her throat. Bolt unsheathed his blade with his mouth, waving it threateningly at each of the thug ponies who ambushed them.

“GET BACK!” Bolt yelled at them through the handle of the blade, but he was outnumbered, so they just laughed at this pathetic attempt at defense.

“Drop your sword or else this mare will be cut into pieces.” the pony restraining Twilight said, levitating his blade with magic as he still chuckled at Bolt. Bolt couldn’t do anything but drop his sword slowly, he didn’t want to get Twilight hurt, and he had no former training in fights, so he decided to just comply. As his blade fell to the ground, one of the unicorn ponies used his magic to throw some blunt instrument hard at Bolt, hitting his mark and knocking Bolt unconscious.

Chapter 1- A Big Mistake

One stormy night there was a flash of light heading towards ponyville with great speed. The trees swayed in the strong wind as the light passed by ponyville. It was a full moon tonight and the timberwolves were howling in the everfree forest. The light suddenly stopped at the ponyville library. Then there was a shadowy figure walking towards the library. It Knocked on the the library’s door and disappeared.

Twilight opens the door and looks around, there was nopony in sight. “Huh..? I guess nopony is here...” She thought to herself, but when she was about to close the door, the black figure showed itself suddenly.
“Boo!” the figure jumped out at Twilight, as she fell back and yelled out a big, “YIKES!” Twilight looked up at the shadowy figure, who was on the floor, crying, yet at the same time laughing uncontrollably.

She walked toward this figure with a puzzled expression and asked "Moonwing? Is that you?" She saw Moonwing, a good friend of hers who was tall with an all black fur coat. His mane was black with the tips being finished with red. Along with his mane having the red tips, his tail had tips of red as well. His eyes were all red except for his pupils which were catlike, also black. All this came together to make an incredibly cool looking Colt who was complete with a cutie mark of a green paw next to a crescent moon.

Moonwing stood up, still shaking from laughter and he said to the purple pony, "Hi Twilight! I got you good, didn't I?" Twilight rolled her eyes as Moonwing followed her back into the library.

Twilight finally stopped shaking from the fright and walked towards Moonwing. “Ok Moonwing, are you ready?” She yelled to spike. "BRING THE BOOK DOWNSTAIRS TO ME NOW!!!” Spike could barely hear her from upstairs, but started to run down the stairs anyway. As he shuffled his little purple feet quickly downstairs, he trips and lands flat on his face, almost getting a bloody nose.

“OW! Here you go Twilight” Spike exclaimed as he handed her the book. She started to flip through the book, then she read out the words of the spell. Suddenly, a flash of blinding light shot across the whole library, blinding Twilight and Spike, knocking them unconscious.

The next day, Twilight woke up with a start of energy and looked around in shock. The library was a mess, so she started to clean up all the books. While she was cleaning, she found Spike sleeping underneath a huge pile of spell books. She started to shake Spike back to consciousness. Spike was mumbling, “let me sleep..” then, he opened his eyes and said ”WHOAH! What happened here?”

Twilight replied to her assistant with a dumbfounded look on her face, “Umm, if I am correct, we were testing out a new spell on Moonwing...” Twilight and Spike looked at each other and said in unision “Wait, where is Moonwing?”

Twilight and Spike started to search through the piles of books for Moonwing. Spike yelled at Twilight when the colt was located. “HEY! Over here! I found him! Hey... I don't remember him being this small...” Twilight looked at Moonwing and slapped him hard in the face, which in turn made him wake up.

Moonwing stretched his wings and gave a big and hearty, “Good morning Twi!” Twilight was looking at Moonwing in shock. Moonwing didn't see why, but then suddenly, it hit him. It hit him as hard as Rainbow Dash into a wall of rocks. “Umm... why... why do i sound different? My voice so high pitched and... I feel a bit smaller too...” Twilight looked at Spike with a confused look.

“Spike, what book did you give me yesterday?” she demanded as Spike started to look for the book in the big pile.

Spike found the book and handed it to Twilight. She started to read the cover, “The Forbidden Spells of Equestria” She flipped to the page that she was on yesterday. "Genderflip a spell that can change a gender. This spell comes with a warning though, you may use it once on a pony, afterwards it doesn't work and you need a special spell to reverse it.” This spell look so smiliar to the spell to enhance Moonwing power, darn it, i should of double check before reading it. Twilight just stared down at the book in shock for about five seconds before she glared at Spike, and said in a rather cold, yet aggrivated tone, "You Gave me the wrong Book Spike!”

Spike stammered out a reply, trying to find his words, “S-sorry! I-I-I might have misplaced this book!”

Twilight sighed, “No, I guess it's not all your fault, it's partly my fault too...” she looked at Moonwing, then walked towards him, “Sorry, I might have used the wrong spell and accidentally changed you from a colt to a mare....” she smiled meekly, cheeks blood red from embarrassment and guilt.

Moonwing was in shock and was stuttering “O-oh no...” a tear drop fell from his face and he said, teardrops in his now more mare-like eyes, “W-why am I so emotional? I usually don't cry. I shouldn't even be sad as there is nothing to worry about, because Twilight said before that there usually is a reversal spell as a back up for when any spell goes wrong!”

Twilight started to flip through the pages “Oh NO! There are no reversal spells in this book!” she exclaimed as Moonwing stood up and forced himself to stop crying.

He walked towards Twilight, dried tears on his cheeks. “OH sweet Celestia... Ok... don't panic... on the bright side, it shows your magic is getting stronger...” He forced a smile to try to give her positive reassurance.

Twilight covered her eyes with her hooves, “I'm so... I'm so sorry Moonwing... I wasn't trying to do this on purpose..." she started pacing to and fro, thinking of what to do next, then Realized, “OH NO! If Celestia finds out about this... she might send me to the moon!!!!” Twilight stopped for a minute, then she started to cool down.

Moonwing put his hoof on Twilight's head and gave her more reassurance, “You were just practicing and made a mistake. It's ok, don't worry!” she hugged Twilight, then Twilight pulled away from her and went on to say,“ Ok thank you Moonwing, I will try with the best of my ability to find a reversal spell for the spell that I casted! Umm... Moonwing, can you stay like that until I find a reversal spell?” she gave the same, meek smile from before as she asked this question.

Moonwing nodded “Of course Twi... but my special somepony will need some explanation.”Spike walked down the stairs and snickered at this statement, going on to say in a joking way, “That is, if you ever have one.” This earned a glare from Moonwing, who's cheeks were turning a brighter and brighter red by the second.

Twilight broke in on the conversation, “Of course! Bring her here, and I will explain the whole situation.” Moonwing was about to walk outside, when suddenly Twilight got in front of her and said “ Wait! Before you go, I need to tell you one very important thing!” Twilight pushed Moonwing down as a shadow loomed over the door. She informed Moonwing of some vital information to surviving as a mare,”since your body was made out of magic...” Twilight started to whisper,”You aroma is the strongest out of every known mare out there! Colts can't resist the smell and they will go crazy!” Moonwing peered over the window and saw a couple of colts roaming around the front of the library.

Moonwing gave a silent, "Oh no..." as she realised that this meant she'd have to avoid the colts.

Twilight walked to her wooden chest then opened it and took out a cape, then tied it around Moonwing's body and said, “Here, wear this, it should distill the aroma so it won't be as strong.” Moonwing secured the cape and looked outside to see that the colts outside were slowly walking away. Twilight peered outside as well and saw that there was nopony in sight.

She turned to Moonwing now and told her, “Ok we are clear Moonwing, but we need to start calling you by another name.”

Moonwing replied with, “Ok then, you can call me by the name Moonbeam.”

Twilight nodded to the mare, “Ok we have to also have to address you now as her instead of a him as well.” Twilight stood up and continued, “One more important thing we need to do is clean you up and give you a new set on clothes because your look so dirty.” Twilight started to walk towards the door and yet again continued, "I will ask my friend Rarity to clean you up! That's her area of expertise and I know that she will be happy to.” Spike snickered, earning him another glare from Moonbeam, but this time she had more anger in her eyes.

Moonbeam continually glared at him for nearly five seconds and began her next statement,“Just think Spike, you could have wound up this way,” she followed Twilight and in a rather confused way asked, “I'm dirty? I mean sure, I was helping AJ with a harvest earlier, but...“ Twilight looked back at Moonbeam.

She got a look on her face that Moonbeam read as Twilight calling her stupid and said, “since you are a mare now, you need to take care better of yourself, ok? But... only for the time being, until I can reverse it.”
