The zobaki looks at the pink pony before him, growling as it picks up its heavy hammer hands ready to swing again. Pinkie Pie grins as her pinkie sense warns her to go left. With a smile, Pinkie takes two steps left. The zobaki’s hammer hands barely miss her, “Got to go faster than that!” Pinkie laughs slightly as she takes this chance to run up on the hammer hands, up its arm. Pinkie gets her rope from her saddle bag on her back and wraps it around its body. Using her uncanny abilities to zip and zoom around it. The zobaki lets out an angry grunt as it tries to move around, only to lose its balance and fall to the ground with a big thud! Pinkie Pie slides down its back with a giggle as she lands on the ground beside the now crumbled zobaki. Yellow fog starts to ooze out of its eyes “Now, where do you think you're going?” Pinkie says with a hum as she grabs a glass jar from her saddle bag to collect as much yellow fog as she can. “Haha! That was fun, Mister Stone!” Pinkie says with a hop and smile “But I must be going now! Thanks for the fog!” Pinkie pie calls out as she hops away to report to Princess Celestia. As Pinkie was hopping along a dirt path back to the village, she looked at the train station in the distance and made a loud GASP! “MY TRAIN!” Pinkie then zoomed off to catch her train. As Pinkie tries to find her seat on the train, she hums a little tone to pass the time. Once she found her seat she plopped down. “Heh..can you give me some room?” a strange voice said to Pinkie. “Hm?” She looked towards the voice to reveal a rainbow haired mare. “Oh! Hi!!! I'm Pinkie Pie, what's your name!?” Pinkie Pie explained with a bright smile. “Huh!!?? You don't know who I am!!!??” The mare gasped, her jaw dropping and her tone confused. “Hm…” Pinkie Pie scratched her chin, sticking out her tongue as she thought REALLY hard “nope!” Pinkie says cluelessly. The mare facepalmed and grunted at pinkie pie “Well let me introduce myself then!” The mare flew up in front of Pinkie Pie with a smirk on her face. “I am the best of the best! The one and only! Rainbow Dash!” Rainbow said, striking a pose mid air “the best monster slayer there is!” Rainbow strikes another pose at pinkie who just watched and with a very loud gasp and big grin she leaped up from her seat. “Oh my! How could I forget such Bravery and greatness!!!” Pinkie bounces up and down in front of Rainbow dash “yeah I know! I'm just so awesome!” Rainbow says as she Flys back down into her seat putting her arms behind her head. Pinkie sits next to rainbow dash and just starts To ramble. Pinkie pie enters the hallway leading up to the throne room with a bounce and a grin. “hello sirs!!” Pinkie says with a aggressive wave to the guards out in front of the entrance to the throne room. The guards look at each other and nod, they then open the big grand door for pinkie. Pinkie hops passed then and enters the throne room “hi princess Celestia!!” Pinkie says as she bows down slightly but hops right back up with a giggle. “hello pinkie. How was Stoneville?” Celestia says with a small smile on her face. “welll~ they had this big! Scary! Zobaki! But!!! When I got there I saw him and I was like!” Celestia giggles bringing pinkie out of her rambling. “I'm glad it went ok..now I have someone I want-” The big grand doors swing open and a mare with a white lab coat Gallops in. “s-sorry! Sorry princess Celestia! I was Caught up in my research! A-and lost track of time!” the mare explains as she gives the princess an Awkward smile. Pinkie takes a good look at the mare, her main was frizzy and her glasses where A bit crooked on her snout. Pinkie soon gets out of her trance and zooms over to the mare making her flinch slightly “hi! I'm pinkie pie! Wanna be friends!? You look like a mad scientist! Where did you get that lab coat!” Pinkie zooms around the mare in awe. “a-ah..I'm twilight..twilight sparkle..” Twilight says Awkwardly as pinkie pie zips around her. “wow!!! That's such a cute name!” Pinkie says with a grin and a bounce! Celestia giggles making twilight look at her “uh..princess? You said you needed me for a important mission?” Twilight says fixing her glasses on her face. “Ah yes my little pony..there is a scientist in the mid west far from here, her name is miss rarity, she was one of my most precious students.” Celestia walks down from her throne and stands in front of pinkie and twilight “she gave me a letter a few moons ago saying she might have something useful to end all monster kind.” Celestia says pinkie pie bounces up high with a gasp and a wide grin on her face. Twilights eyes light up as she hears this. “a-and? What do you need me to do?” Twilight says Anxiously forcing a smile. “well..the last letter I got from her was a couple of moons ago as I said and she never waits this long to send one, so I need you and miss Diane pie to go and check on her.” Celestia says her wings spread out her gaze on twilight. Twilight feels dizzy she never had to leave the castle. pinkie pie on the other hand bounced up with excitement! “I'll do my best!!” Pinkie says with a Forced Serious expression Which then turned into giggles. Twilight face palms at the pinkie mare Twilight was in her lab getting her things together, pinkie pie was going around the lab checking it out as she goes along. “no! Please don't touch that!” Twilight yells out to pinkie pie who was touching a glass bottle with some greenish liquid in it. With a giggle and a eye roll pinkie starts to puts it down. “I'm not going to break it silly filly!” Pinkie explains as she looks at twilight getting Distracted making her miss the Counter and it almost falls. “ah!” Twilight gives a glare at the pinkie mare as her pink Aura of magic Surrounds the glass bottle. “Hehe..my bad..” Pinkie says nervously which makes Twilight sigh. “j-just sit over there until I'm ready..ok?” Twilight says pointing towards the door, pinkie smiles and trots over to the door. A while later pinkie pie was tapping her hoof on the ground waiting for the mare. “where is that pony? It's been like forever!” Pinkie says, she sits down on her flank with a grunt, she was getting so bored! Pinkie then hears some mumbling, pinkies ears perk up to the sound and she looks up to see the mad scientist looking stressed. Her ears where down and she had several check lists levitating next to her, pinkie looks that the mare confused. “uh..hay there twilight..you uh ok?” pinkie asks standing up. The purple mare doesn't say anything instead she just continued to stare at the lists next to her. “did I get everything?..” Pinkie hears twilight say as the mare starts to check the lists again, this made Pinkie sigh.. They there at the front gate with the princess, pinkie had a saddle bag with only a few things, like her Party supplies! Twilight on the other hand had a saddle bag that was filled to the brim. “do I have everything!” Twilight says Anxiously, which Made the princess giggle in response. “I'm sure you do, my dear twilight” princess Celestia says putting her hoof on twilights shoulder. “Come on! we got to go silly filly!” Pinkie says with a bounce And a chuckle, this made Twilight a little annoyed, princess Celestia giggled and nodded in agreement with the pink hyper mare. “Indeed you do, it's a long way from here.” The princess explained giving a reassuring smile to the purple mare who looks on the verg of a panic attack. “Let's go! I need to see applejack first! So we better get going!” Pinkie explained wrapping her arm around twilights neck which made the purple mare flinch. “pinkie pie please..personal space.” The mare says giving the pink mare a light push and a bit of blush on her face to make her get off her. “Yes, you must be on your way my little ponys.” Celestia says once more, twilight sighs and starts to walk away from the princess. The pink mare giving her final wave to the princess, then bouncing her way towards twilight with a big grin on her face. Pinkie was rambling to the purple mare who Was not listening to a word the hyper mare was talking about. Twilight was to busy thinking about the future, and what plain she wants to follow. She also had a lot of questions she wanted to ask the princess, twilight was cut short in her thought when she slammed her face in a door. “AH!” Twilight falls back almost On the ground when two pink arms catch her. “Man twilight, that's a door silly! You can't walk through it! Unless you have a type of spell to..” Pinkie says still holding the purple mare, who just gave a unamused look, which made the pink mare chuckle and let go of twilight. “Heh..sorry twilight” pinkie says giving a Awkward smile. “Where even are we?” Twilight then asks but Before pinkie could awnser her a other mare comes out the door of the shop. She was taller then the pink mare and herself, she kinda intimated twilight. “What in the hay!-..oh it's you pinkie pie.” The mare says rolling her eyes playfully, twilight backs up next To the pink mare who was bouncing with joy. “Haya applejack!” pinkie says happily, the pink mare had a big smile on her face. “Whacha doing here pinks?” Applejack asks the pink mare as she steps out of the shop and closes the door behind her. “didn't ya just go on ah mission yesterday?” The orange mare asks, giving pinkie a look that twilight can't explain. “Righty oh! I'm just going on another with my new friend here twilight sparkle!” Pinkie says jumping around twilight. “Hm..well ah friend of pinks is ah friend of mine” applejack says walking up to twilight which made Twilight gulp out of nervousness. “Nice ta meet ya twilight!” Applejack puts her hoof out, so Twilight could shake it. “Yeah..nice to meet you too” Twilight says, she nervously puts her hoof on Applejacks who then began To shake fast and hard. “It's good knowing pinkie here is gonna be in great hands! Don't ya think! But just so ya know she can be a hoofful ya here” Applejack explains while pinkie pie looks at some flowers getting Distracted. Twilight chuckles at Applejacks remark. “You can say that again” twilight says with a eye roll. Pinkie was talking with applejack before her and twilight had to leave, twilight was sitting on a near by table writing on some paper, her tongue Was sticking out as she wrote. That's when she felt a tap on her shoulder which made her jump. “Uh..sorry there miss” a young voice said close to twilight. Twilight looks down to see a fillie who looks a tad Bit similar to the mare named Applejack. “Oh..um it's fine.” Twilight says looking back at her paper, the fillie leaves. Twilight sighs out of relieve, twilight hates kids there way to much work. But just as twilight thought she was gonna be able to finish Up her writing, she heared a screech. Someone was dragging a chair on the floor and before twilight could see who it was she heard the fillies voice. “Whata writing there?” The fillie asks the purple mare, grinning at her. With a sigh twilight looks at the fillie to respond. “notes..it's been sometime since I left my lab and there are new buildings.” Twilight says sounding tired and a bit annoyed, the fillie did not catch up on the hint. “Well ya came to ta right pony miss!” The fillie says with stars in her eyes, twilight felt a smile on her lips but quickly shook her head. “I've been here ma whole life! And i can Tell ya everything you want!” The fillie says proudly. Twilight hums and then sighs, she picks up her paper and looks back at the fillie. “Go on..” the purple mare says looking at the fillie with a calm expression on her face, which made the fillie smile. Pinkie just Got done talking with applejack and started to hop over to Twilight when she stops. Pinkie smiles when she sees twilight and applebloom talking, twilight was smiling brightly and focused on what applebloom was talking about. Pinkies checks stared to burn Slightly as she smiles at the purple mare. Pinkie shook her head at this and then took a deep breath then walks over to the two. She knew she had to tell twilight that they had to start going And she had to leave her knew friend, which Made Pinkie sad. “Haya twi we should get going its about to get dark! And you don't want to walk through the forest when it's dark. Trust me.” Pinkie explains getting serious for a second which made Twilight confused at this. With a sigh twilight got up and put the papers away into her saddle bag. “Well thank you for the uh..stories.” Twilight says looking embarrassed, applebloom gives the two Mares a sad look and gets up as well. “Aw! Can't ya stay for a little?” Applebloom says giving them puppy eyes. “Sorry! No can do! We gotta get going!” Pinkie says with a smile and a bounce which Then made applebloom ‘aw’.. > Chapter 2 ||twilights gone!?|| > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pinkie and twilight say there goodbyes and start to head out. Pinkie hums a tune as she bounces, that's when twilight suddenly stops in her tracks which made Pinkie stop. “What is it twilight? Did you see the muffin Stallion?” Pinkie asked, looking at the forest around her, twilight looking at her confusedly. “what..no! I'm looking At the clouds..it looks like it's about to rain!” Twilight says using her magic to get a book out. Pinkie looks at the book wondering what it says, so Pinkie hops around twilight to look at the front of the book with twilight. “According to my survival guide..when it looks like it's about to rain we need to ether find! Or make shelter!” Twilight says looking over the book again wondering if It says how to make one. “Okie dokie lokie!” Pinkie says happily as she takes one more good look at the book and zips away from the unicorn, leaving her confused. “P..pinkie?” The purple mare says looking around in fear she Was left behind, pinkie then appears next to the mare with some tree branches. “Hm? Yes, traveling buddy!” Pinkie says with a smile on her face. “oh..um how are we going to build a shelter With twigs?” Twilight said, annoyed at the pink mare running off. “Hehe your so silly! Just watch!” Pinkie then zooms next to a large tree and starts To lay the big sticks in the shape of a tent. “Ta da!” The pink mare said with a proud grin on her face, leaving twilight speechless and a bit confused. “How did you do that? You know what, never mind.” Twilight says with a sigh walking over to the now made tent with interest. “Are we going to lay on the soil? Or do you have a plan for that too?” The purple Mare says with an annoyed smirk On her face. “Yup! Just use a blanket, silly filly!” Pinkie says with a hop and then pulls out a black blanket from her main, leaving twilight confused. Pinkie starts To set up the blanket and lays on it, the tent was small but big enough for the two mares. “I'll take the first watch!” Pinkie says happily, giving the purple mare a smile. twilight just rolls her eyes and puts her bag behind her now using it as a pillow. “Wake me when your done..” Twilight says, taking off her glasses and putting them To the side of her. Pinkie nodded and sat down watching the forest for any monster who dared show their faces. Rain soon began to fall and pinkies main started to get wet, She looks up in the sky seeing complete darkness. She sighs and looks at the sleeping mare who looks a bit cold. Pinkie giggles to herself And walks over to the mare, pinkie pulls out another blanket from her main and gently places on the sleeping mare. Pinkie began to smile to herself seeing how cute twilight looked like this. “Pinkie stop thinking this way silly..” Pinkie scolded herself in her head, she sighs and was about to sit back down when a clash of thunder came. making Pinkie squeak, pinkie was a monster slayer, a bad ass killer and she was scared of thunder of all things. Pinkie hid in the tent, covering her face with her hooves, her Ears pressed against her head. Another strike of thunder came and it made Pinkie whimper with fear, She looked Over to the sleeping mare once again. She then shakily tapped twilight on the shoulder as tears became to form in pinkies eyes. Of course pinkie felt bad For waking twilight up but right now she was scared, and just needed to know someone was awake with her. Twilight grunts, her eyes barley open, she sits up and rubs her eyes and with a yawn looks at the pink mare “Pinkie..what are you?..pinkie?” Twilight looks at the mare with confused and concerned Look, pinkie the monster slayer had tears in her blue ocean eyes, her hooves where shaking and her main was flatter? “Twilight..I'm super duper sorry for waking you but..but..it's just so scary!” Pinkie explains covering her ears with her hooves when another strike of lightning came. Twilight looks at the mare not knowing what to do, she never had this happen to her before, anxiety started to brew in Twilights stomach. “I..I don't know what to do pinkie..” Twilight says in a whisper l, if only her had her books..wait her books! Twilight Rememberd in one of her books of. ‘How to comfort a friend’ when she was a fillie. but only if she could remember what it said..another strike of thunder hit and pinkie throws herself at twilight, squeezing the purple mare who had a slight blush on her cheeks. “Pinkie..” Twilight says trying to sound annoyed, pinkie shakes In return..Twilight sighs and Awkwardly rubbed the Mares back. “Um..sorry it's all I know how To do..” Twilight says Sheepishly which made Pinkie chuckle slightly, ‘This was a good sign’ Twilight thought to herself. A couple of minutes later and the rain started to get lighter and calmer, pinkie sighs her sigh was shaky. Twilight was looking down at the pink mare who was now getting calmer, twilight continues to rub pinkies back in a soothing way. “Thank you twi..” the pink mare says now letting go of twilight..twilight felt colder and a bit disappointed when pinkie let go of her but quickly shook the feeling away. “It's no problem..so um, why out of everything your scared of thunder?” Twilight asks, this made the pink mares ears Lower slightly and her smile seemed forced now. “Um..well, when I was just a filly I lived on a rock farm and well..one night it was storming really bad..and my father When out..” Pinkie gulps and closes her eyes, twilight noticed this and sighs. “You don't have to tell me pinkie..sorry for making you seem like you have to tell me..” Twilight says rubbing the back of her neck..pinkie giggles and looks at twilight with a bright smile. “It's fine twi! No hard feeelings!” Pinkie says with a smirk and a light punch on twilights arm which made Twilight chuckle. “So since I can't fall asleep again, should I go on next watch?” Twilight asks pinkie with a nervous smile, which made Pinkie giggle. “Only if you want to!” Pinkie says with a bright smile on her face. Rain Continues to fall calmly. “Yeah..I guess I can take next watch..” Twilight says as she starts to stand up using her magic to get her glasses on her snout. “Okie dokie lokie!” Pinkie says with the same bright smile on her face, twilight's cheeks turn a slight red. Twilight then trots Out of the tent Pinkie made and sits down On the muddy ground. the sun started to rise and Pinkie yawns as she walks out of the tent she made and she couldn't find twilight.. “Twilight? Where are you!” Pinkie started to panic slightly, she looks around the area for the purple mare but she could not fined her anywhere. “Twilight where did you go?..” Pinkie whispers to herself, pinkie trots back and forth thinking ok what could happened to twilight, that's when she saw some prints in the ground. “Hm..to big To be hooves..to small to be a zobaki..and they smell like..smoke?..” Pinkie looks at the prints that Where made in the mud. That's when it clicked..a smoker! “Twilight is in serious trouble..” Pinkie looks up her ears flatten On her head, she looks back at the tent and runs over going through Her bag. She pulls out her bottles of water. “Would three be enough!? I don't have time!” Pinkie grabs all the water she and twilight brought and then runs back to the smokers feet prints. “Don't worry twi I'm coming!” Pinkie rushes off following the smokers prints, pinkie runs as fast as her legs let Her..bad thoughts start to creep there Way into pinkies mind.. “No no pinkie don't think that you'll be fine..twi will be fine!” Pinkie says out loud to herself as she gallops faster.
