-----Behind The Farm-----
Twilight Sparkle is a very curious mare, she always pays attention to the slightest details. She's the proud student of Princess Celestia, and she's still working out some kicks here and there. Naturally, she's accompanied by 5 of her best friends. They're quite a happy bunch, they may as well be the most lively mares in Ponyville. She even has a baby dragon that goes by the name of Spike, he's kind of like a brother to her. She's the kind of pony that takes organization and attendance to the extremes. When ponies visit Ponyville that aren't as friendly, 100% of the time, all of the citizens avoid and shun them. When a pandemic strikes, the residents of Ponyville are seen defying all order by screaming and running around the area. Sometimes there are ponies that need to be taught a lesson or two, preferably the loud-mouthed ones.
''Spike!'', Twilight called out from the top of the stairs. A very sleepy spike woke up at 6:25 in the morning. He had been woken up at 6:30, most of the time it was 6:45, but not this time. There was a loud and solid knock at the door, it echoed throughout the house and Spike mumbled to himself in anger. ''Why am I always the one answering the door, I understand that I'm the assistant around this place but this is ridiculous!'', Spike said while attempting to give Twilight a serious stare. The knocking at the door became twice as loud, it seemed as if somepony was purposely hitting the door with all their might. Twilight commanded Spike one more time to answer the door, with his fists balled up, he marched down the stairs in an angry manner. Spike is always glad to do work for Twilight, but even the purple and green dragon has a few boundaries.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At the door was a grey, blonde mare, seemed to be glaring at spike with crossed eyes. Normally you'd meet the occasional colt in a blue vest delivering mail, but this was the first time Spike spoke with Derpy Hooves. She spoke to him in a slurred speech pattern, and flew off as fast as she came with no explanation whatsoever. He had never been so puzzled in all his life, he also couldn't explain why there was a muffin that she left on the doormat. Maybe it was a complimentary treat, Spike didn't know what to think of it, so he handed the letter over to Twilight. ''Someone wrote a letter to you Twilight!'', he called out to her from the bottom of the stairs. ''A message for me?'', Twilight asked curiously. ''Is it from the Princess or Pinkie Pie, because she's always sending me invitations to some party on Friday'', she said with an annoyed look on her face. She levitated the letter using her magic from Spike's hand to her bed. The next thing Spike saw was Twilight scanning the paper with a skeptic look on her face.
''Uh, Twilight, is there something wrong with the letter?'', Spike said after he proceeded to walk down the stairs. ''I can't figure out who sent me this letter, it says it's from anonymous.'', Twilight was now puzzled because she had no idea who or where it came from. For all she knew, it could be some prank that Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie made. To see if this was true, she peeked out from her balcony to see if the two of them were chuckling around the bushes. Twilight decided to read the letter a second time, and Spike being curious decided to read along as well. The letter read in large and black ink, ''You probably won't know who this letter is from, neither will anypony who delivered this to you, so I want you to do something.''
''I'm somepony that you know, to prove this, I know that every now and then you read Daring Do books in the upper floor of your library before Rainbow Dash does.'' ''I also assume that she demanded to read any new installments of the series before you did.'' Twilight said to herself in her mind, ''who is this pony and how does she know this?'' Spike heckled Twilight saying, ''Ooooh, I'm gonna tell Rainbow Dash!''
Twilight begged and pleaded Spike not to say anything, she knew how important those books were to Dashie. Spike agreed to do so, if tomorrow, anypony who knocks on the door will be answered by Twilight. She growled at him with an irritated look, ''Fine'', she said, ''but only because of this secret''. She continued reading the last 4 sentences. ''Now, getting to business, I need you to head behind Applejack's farm at Sweet Apple Acres.'' ''There are further instructions there for you to take into consideration.'' ''You shouldn't bring anypony with you for this journey, this is a private meeting.'' ''Just to let you know, I'm none of your little friends, nonetheless, I want you to trust me for this.'' Twilight couldn't believe what she was about to do. Spike asked with a raspy voice, ''Now what are you going to do, are you going to try and hunt down this anonymous character or something like that?''
Twilight said to spike, ''I can't believe I'm going to do this, but if this so called anonymous knows this much about me, I doubt I have a choice in this.'' She trotted out of the door and down the street, and Spike scratched his head trying to figure out what just happened. He didn't get a chance to read the letter after the Daring Do secret was revealed. He brushed it off and went back to bed, considering the library was clean, and it was only 6:53, he didn't have much to do today besides unclog Pinkie Pie's toilet. The very thought of it made him shiver in fear of what lies in the bowl. Twilight quickly galloped over to Sweet Apple Acres, only to be stopped by Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy. A peaceful and calm morning now turned into something urgent and bashful. ''Hey Twilight, have you seen Spike anywhere, he's supposed to be unclogging my toilet!'', Pinkie screamed in Twilight's face. ''Ugh!'', Twilight shrieked, ''How come you never hire a plumber or at least ask Mr.Cake if he could handle this?''
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
''Why would I do that when I could ask Spike to do it, he's pretty handy and we don't spend enough time together!'' Twilight looked at Pinkie Pie as if she was a lunatic, ''You talk to him at least 15 times a day, like when you have him run random errands when he's supposed to be doing mine!'' Pinkie shouted, ''Well if he's not going to unclog my toilet, then you're going to do it! ''Um...excuse me Twilight, I have a little errand I need you to help me with as well....if that's okay with you'', said Fluttershy sheepishly. She had no where to run, and her mind was racing. Twilight was backed into a corner, literally, between the pink party pony and the shy Pegasus. She wanted to find that letter without anypony following her. It wouldn't be any better if Applejack or Big Macintosh stumbled upon it. If that secret gets out, Rainbow would go crazy!
Twilight wanted to get this whole anonymous letter thing out of the way, but it seems she's going to have a hard time doing so. She already notices the time is passing by, and she doesn't want to delay for too long. The very next thing that happened was a crazy montage of Twilight unclogging Pinkie Pie's toilet while she cheered for her in the back of the room, and Twilight counseling Angel Bunny for his uncanny fear of female rabbits. Amidst all the madness going on, Rarity seemed to be the only pony that didn't have their hooves tied being busy. Sweetie Belle and her were on a cruise.....on a yacht.....sailing to a tropical island as a vacation. Rainbow Dash was spending her day with the Wonderbolts, mostly Spitfire. As Twilight proceeded to unclog the toilet, Spike felt a disturbance in the force. By the end of all the chores that seemed ridiculous to Twilight at the moment, she was sweaty and still rushing over to Sweet Apple Acres.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The only thing that was stopping her now, was an unlucky run-in with Applejack. Twilight knew how Applejack can stick to ponies like glue, especially if she told her about the letter that was on the back of Sweet Apple Acres. If she ran into her, she would have to tell her, the whole farm could be involved in this, and if anypony gets hurt it'd be her fault. Though, she was mostly concerned about keeping the Daring Do secret. Twilight lost in her own thought, just happened to bump into Applejack. They both fell over, considering how fast Twilight was dashing through the passage ways. Behind Applejack was a very annoyed Rainbow Dash, she glared Twilight in the eyes. ''How could you do this to me!?'' ''You know those books mean the world to me!'' ''I thought we were friends!'' Applejack said dimly, ''Ah reckon you have some sort of explanation for this here letter Twilight.'' She then had a flashback and remembered that she dropped the letter, but didn't realize it until now.
Applejack was always the one to be blunt, next to Rainbow Dash, both of them complaining is like a chocolate fudge storm. It was now 1:00 and Twilight was worried she'd have to pull an all-nighter on this search, depending on her questioning from Applejack and Rainbow didn't take up the rest of the 11 hours she had left before midnight. ''I swear, I can explain!'', Twilight yelled out in fear of what Rainbow might do. ''Now listen here Twilight, you shouldn't go chasin' round strangers just cus' of curiosity.'' ''You gotta ask your friends to help you, why would ya' consider goin' alone?'', asked Applejack in a concerned way. ''And why would you wait until after you've read the book to give it to me!'', said Rainbow Dash with her eyes enraged. ''Daring Do and the Desert Diamond, think about that Twilight, that sounds like the best chapter ever!'' ''Actually it's the least likeable due to ratings'', Twilight responded. ''What did you just say?'', asked Dash. ''Don't listen to what some crazy ponies say, Daring Do is the best book ever, and all of the chapters are the best!''
All of a sudden, Rarity had appeared along with Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie. They rushed over once they heard the commotion and asked what was going on. ''Oh, is everything alright?'', asked Rarity. ''You all didn't miss me that badly did you?'' ''Twilight got this letter from somepony named anon... anonymuh....however you spell that'', Applejack said as she tried her best to spell the word out.'' ''She was about to try and find this stranger without us, can you believe it?'', said Rainbow. Twilight knew she couldn't hide it anymore, all of her friends were right here and she was surrounded. She wouldn't be able to escape if she tried, no matter what elaborate plan she tried to devise. She had told them about the letter and what it wanted her to do. Applejack wasn't so happy with the fact that this stranger wanted to see Twilight alone without anyone else. They dragged Twilight behind the barn and they found the letter. What they found written on it, was something none of them could ever possibly imagine.
