Dear Twilight Sparkle,
I have noticed you have yet to respond to my previous letter. Maybe your travelling or something but even if you are on vacation, (which I highly doubt) you should still at least tell me what your up to. Wash is getting anxious to get out of the castle as no one really has time to even talk to him here. I need you to respond by tomorrow whether its an actual report on your studies or just a letter telling me everything is all right in Ponyville. If you do not send a response I shall send a few of my gaurds to see if you are alright. It's been more than two weeks since your last response and it is possible that you have gotten yourself into some trouble, hopefully this is not the case.
Sincerely, Princess Celestia.

Two weeks later.

On his way out Luna gave Wash pictures of each of the six ponies he was looking for, along with their names. Wash was looking at the picture of Applejack, then towards his destination.
He was getting close to the farm when heard somepony yell "Watch out!"
Wash looked up to see a grey Pegasus with blonde hair zooming towards the carriage Wash was in. Unable to stop, the carriage and the Pegasus collided, sending Wash flying out of the carriage towards the farm.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Applejack was slowly going about her work, walking from tree to tree with her head down. It was obvious to anypony who saw her that she was depressed.
As she neared the next tree, ready to buck down the apples, she heard something from a distance. She looked up and saw a grey unicorn flying towards her, screaming at the top of his lungs. Applejack side stepped to avoid being landed on, causing the pony to fly into the tree Next to Applejack, knocking down all the apples and knocking himself unconscious.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wash slowly opened his eyes, it was dark and he had a massive headache. Just as his eyes adjusted somepony opened the door, effectively blinding him again.
"Great, yer awake." The pony said as Wash slowly got up. "You hit yer head pretty hard on that tree, knock you out cold."
"Where am I?" Wash managed to say, even though every word sent pain shooting through his head.
"Yer at Sweet Apple Acres." The pony said with pride. "What's yer name?"
"Wash, what about you?" Wash asked.
"Ah'm Applejack." Applejack said as she walked over to him.
"So your Applejack. Good." Wash said as the pain slowly left him.
"Yes, but if ya don't mind me askin, was there a point to flying into the middle of my families farm?" Applejack asked curiously.
"I've been sent by the princess to round up you and your friends and find out why two corpses were found in the library." Wash said calmly.
"Oh........ that......... Well, what happened was we were all at Twilights place while Twilight was tryin to send her brother and Cadence to their honeymoon destination. Me, Rarity and Fluttershy were just standin there while Rainbow Dash carelessly flew around the room and Pinkie Pie was searchin her hair for a party cannon to give the couple as a gift. Just as Twilight was about to cast the teleportation spell, her magic reacted with the party cannon somehow, causin it to misfire. The cake from the cannon hit Rainbow and she started fallin towards Twilight. I jumped in the way but Rainbow ended up bringin me and herself into Twilight at the same time she cast the spell. When we got up....." Tears started to roll down Applejack's face. "Cadence and Shining Armor were.... were dead. Rarity and Twilight started blamin Rainbow Dash sayin that if she weren't being so careless this wouldn't have happened. Pinkie blamed Twilight for her magic causin the cannon to go off and hit Rainbow. Me, Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash just stood there. By the time everythin was all said and done, we all went our separate ways, me and Fluttershy were the only ones who stayed in Ponyville." Applejack finished her story then broke out into tears. "Ah just want to see the rest of them again!" She blurted out.
"Don't worry. That's why I'm here, now I'm going to need you to travel with me so we can find them, you said Fluttershy stayed here in Ponyville too, where is she now?" Wash said, Trying to comfort the sobbing Applejack.
"She is probably feeding the animals in the Everfree forest." Applejack said, voice wavering.
"Okay then, lets go get-" Wash was cut off by a loud scream.
"Oh no, that sounded like Fluttershy, we have to help her!" Applejack yelled as she ran towards the forest with Wash not to far behind.
