Oreo Mist didn't sleep very well. She kept having nightmares. When she would wake from these nightmares, she would get out of bed and look outside her window. Venom Shock could have been watching her. She never saw him, but Oreo Mist was still scared. She knew she should, but she didn't want to tell her parents about the situation. She didn't want them to worry about her too much. But when she sat down at the breakfast table the next morning, Reshiram could easily tell something was wrong.
"There is something troubling my daughter." Reshiram said. "What could it possibly be?"
Oreo Mist didn't answer.
"Something happen?" Zekrom asked.
Oreo Mist made a face. Then, she ended up spilling the beans. When she was finished, the silence was so quiet you could have heard a pin drop, if pins were ever dropped in silent situations.
Oreo Mist burrowed herself in her front legs, her face hot with embarrassment and anxiety. She could feel her parents eyes staring at her, unblinking as if she was a Weeping Angel.
All Reshiram could say was, "Meloetta ended up in Equestria?"
Zekrom put a hoof to his forehead in disbelief. Not only was he shocked at the fact that a friend of his ended up in Equestria, he was shocked that anypony would even think about foalnapping his daughter. Plus, he was confused. Just how did Meloetta and this Team Rocket member get into Equestria?
Reshiram and Zekrom didn't know who he was, they didn't know how he got here, but if he ever hurt their daughter, they will find him, and they will make him deeply regret it.
Big time.
"That actually happened?!" Sweetie Belle squeaked.
It was lunchtime, and Oreo Mist was retelling the events of the previous night to the rest of Cutie Mark Crusaders.
"This feels like some kind of mystery story where somepony ends up being taken away." Scootaloo said.
"Ah don't know why anypony would think of doin' somethin' like that to a filly!" Applebloom remarked. "Ah thought that only happened in those stories Scootaloo just mentioned!"
"We need to think of a plan, Crusaders." Scootaloo said. "As Oreo Mist's friend, we should try to help her in any way possible. Because that's what friends do."
"Hey, you be right, Scootaloo!" Applebloom exclaimed. "And Ah got just the idear!"
Applebloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo turned to each other in a huddle. Oreo Mist continued to eat her lunch as the other three Crusaders were chatting. When they were finished, they bumped hooves while shouting, "Cutie Mark Crusader Bodyguards! YAY!!"
When school let out, Oreo Mist ended up telling her friend Dinky about what happened as they trotted home.
"That sound really freaky." Dinky said when she was finished.
"Yeah, I really have to watch my back now." Oreo Mist replied.
"Why would somepony even attempt foalnapping?" Dinky asked. "I thought that only happened in stories!"
"That's exactly what Applebloom said." Oreo Mist said.
"Geez, I can't even imagine what would happen if that happened to me." Dinky said. "I think weirder things have happened, though. Like when the Doctor first came to Ponyville...."
Meanwhile, in the Everfree Forest, Venom Shock had woken up and given his boss a report. He flinched as his boss scolded him for his failure. "Is it that hard to kidnap a pony? A filly, for that matter?"
"I already told you, sir, somepony else intervened." Venom Shock explained. He was kind of starting to regret this mission. But that regret washed away with confidence, for while his boss was ranting at him some more, Venom Shock thought of the perfect plan. He grinned, knowing that this time, he won't fail. Nopony was going to stop him.
