Dear Twilight Sparkle,
My guards came back with some heartbreaking news, I don't know if you know this or if this is why you disappeared but Cadance and Shining Armor were found dead in your library. I am very worried about you. And if by the odd chance you didn't take Spike with you to where ever you went I would like to reserve this next section of the letter for Spike, please tell Twilight's friends that she is missing and tell them to report back to me immediately.
Sincerely, Princess Celestia

Fluttershy slowly opened her eyes, only to feel an intense headache. As she reached for her head to try and comfort the pain in her head, it got worse to to yelling she heard from very close by.
"Hey, she's awake!!!" Was all Fluttershy heard before she got scared and rolled off the couch she was resting on. "Oh sorry sugarcube, didn't mean to scare you" Applejack in a calming voice.
"Oh, it's ok, what happened anyway?" Fluttershy asked quietly.
"Nothing much, you were just attacked by timberwolves and you fainted." Wash said as he entered from the other room with an ice pack. Fluttershy froze up as he spoke. "Oh silly me, I'm Wash." Wash said extending a hoof.
"who's he?" Fluttershy asked very nervously as she turned to Applejack.
"Don't worry, he ain't gonna hurt you." Applejack said in a reassuring tone. "He was sent by the Princess to find us all and bring us together again."
"Yea so if you don't mind I'd like to ask you a simple question." Wash said seriously. " Do you know where any of your other friends are?"
"No" Fluttershy said.
"What was that?" Wash asked.
"No" Fluttershy said a little louder.
"I'm sorry but your gonna need to speak up." Wash said trying not to get annoyed.
"No" Fluttershy said, finally audible.
"Oh," Wash said disheartened.
".... But I do know someone who might." Fluttershy said trying to stop her new acquaintances from being sad.
"Really? Who?" Wash said, hope refilling him instantly.
"Twilight left behind her pet dragon, Spike. He has been hanging around town with Rarity's sister, Sweetie Belle. They tend to hang out at Rarity's place since she's not there, one of them has to know where either Twilight or Rarity went."
"Ok, where is Rarity's place?" Wash asked. Fluttershy pointed out the window. "Ok, you stay here and rest, Applejack take care of her." Wash said as he left.

Wash's walk to the Carousel Boutique was rather uneventful, the only interesting sight was a black Pegasus being followed by a blue unicorn and a griffon, and even that wasn't all that exciting.
When Wash arrived he knocked on the door and received no answer. Since Wash found his business important, he thought that maybe he could enter through the back and wait for Spike and Sweetie to show up. As Wash rounded the corner to the back of the boutique, he saw the aforementioned dragon and pony kissing on the back step. Wash waited for them to stop before he walked over.
"Hey, you two!" Wash said as he approached, and felt a very hot pain on his forehead just before everything went black.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When Wash came to, he found himself inside the boutique on a couch.
"Hey Sweetie, he's awake!" Spike yelled to the other room. "Hey, sorry about firing a fireball in your face, but you kind of startled me." Spike said shamefully.
"It's ok, if were in your position I would have probably done the same thing." Wash said weakly.
"Now that that's over with, who are you anyway?" Sweetie Belle asked as she entered from the other room.
"My name's Wash, I was sent by Princess Celestia to find the Elements of Harmony." Wash said as he slowly
Got up off the couch. "You wouldn't happen to know the whereabouts of one Twilight Sparkle and one Rarity, would you?" wash asked.
"Sorry but no, I have no idea where my sister is." Sweetie Belle said sadly.
"And I have no idea where Twilight is." Spike said, just as sad as Sweetie.
"So you two have been living without an adult for 2 weeks? How did you get food?" Wash asked with concern.
"Sweetie has been doing the cooking, it's not the best but its edible." Spike said with a chuckle.
"Hey!" Sweetie said with a bit of anger.
"So you two don't know where any of the Elements of harmony are?" Wash said glumly.
"Actually, Pinkie Pie sent me an invitation to a party a while back, if that helps." Spike said.
"Really? Let me see." Wash demanded. Spike went over to a nearby table, grabbed the letter and handed to Wash. Wash skimmed through it until he found what he was looking for.

Back at the farm things were going well. Fluttershy felt better and had explained everything that happened in the last two weeks. "So you never left either and all I had to do was go to your house to find you?" Applejack said after Fluttershy finished explaining.
"Yes." Fluttershy confirmed with a nod.
"Well, I sure do feel stupid." Applejack said slowly as the door to the cottage opened and Wash entered.
"Girls, packs anything your gonna need for possibly a week long trip." Wash said with authority as he walked towards them. "We're going to a party in Manehatten."
