Chapter 4: The cutiemark

"It was a cutiemark of vegetables." Spike said.

"Was he a pegasus?" Applejack asked.

"Yes." Spike replied. We are getting closer and closer to this pony and I won't let him slip out of my hooves.

"I gotta let the princess know." Spike said.

"You do that while we go back to the marketplace and try to find Twilight." Rainbow said. We all rushed out of the library and hoofed it to the marketplace. When we got their all the food stands were closed. I looked at each one and they were all empty.

"We're so close. How does he keep on slipping away from us?! Where are you?!" I yelled. I jumped behind each counter and started to knock them all down. Once all the stands were knocked down I sat down and put my head in my front hooves. He kept on getting away from us, we get closer and closer but he finds someway to slow us down.

"I miss her so much. I want her in my arms. I need my filly. Please let her go." I said but then I started to cry once again. I can't stand it anymore, I don't see my ilfe going anywhere without Dinky. Fluttershy and Rarity tried to comfort me but I couldn't anymore. But I won't give up on her, she is my reason for living and without her I can't live.

The princess arrived in her carriage. "Is everything okay?" Celestia asked.

"No, nothings okay." Spike replied.

"What happened?" Celestia asked.

"He took her." I sobbed. She approached me and sat right next to me.

"What's the matter Derpy? I know Twilight isn't the only problem here." Celestia said.

"How do you know that?" I asked.

"You're sadness shows that you have lost the most precious thing in your entire life. So tell me, what else happened?" Celestia asked while wiping the tears away from my eyes with a royal cloth.

"The pegasus that took Twilight is the same pegasus that took my filly. Dinky." I said. I looked up and I saw her wiping tears away from her face. It is true she does have feelings for all the ponies she rules.

"Derpy, I am so sorry. My guards won't stop until they find the pony responsible for this and safely return Twilight and Dinky." She said.

"I won't stop looking either. She's my filly. I can't go home without her. I have no life without her, she's everything I have." I said. She gave me a hug and then told me something that shocked me.

"I know and I hope you don't mind but I let your companion know about the situation." Celestia said.

"Who would that be?" I asked. She pointed her hoove at the Ponyville entrance. It was him. Doctor Whooves was standing right there.

"Derpy I heard about everything and I came as soon as I could." Doctor said.

"You came?" I said in confusion.

"I did because Dinky means the world to you." Doctor said. I gave him a hug.

"Thank you." I said. He hugged back.

"Come on you two we still have to look for Dinky and Twilight, remember." Applejack said. I let go of him and payed attention.

"We'll search house from house." Celestia said.

"But we know the color of his fur and the cutiemark." Fluttershy said.

"He has yellow fur." Rarity said.

"And a cutiemark of vegetables."  Pinkypie said.

"Wouldn't this mean that our kidnapper is a farmer?" Doctor said.

"Yes it does." Applejack said.

"Applejack do you know any farmers that grow vegetables with yellow fur?" Rainbow asked.

"Just one. Believe it or not this farmer is male pegasus." Applejack replied. Finally we found him, I can see my filly. Dinky we're coming for you my little muffin. We all got on board the princess' carriage and her guards took us all the way to the farm and we saw a yellow male pegasus working on his vegetables.
