On this hot scorching day, eveypony loved to enjoy themselves in the sunshine that Princess Celestia gives to her beloved subjects. But unfortunately not for Gallop Crush. She had to go into hiding and it wasn't going to be fun.

"This is not going to be fun," Gallop thought as they walked heading towards a little berg called “Equal Town”. 

"Oh no! Somepony looks down on this hot hot and I mean a hot day!" Pinkie Pie said looking at Gallop. 
"Oh. It's nothing Pinkie," a Gallop said" 
"Oh come on Gallop! I can tell something's on your mind”. 

"Oh okay, I just don't think I'm going to have fun that's all," Gallop said. 

"Wait stop right there! We're going to have lots of fun! Just because we not at home, doesn't mean we can't have fun!," Pinkie said with determination. 

"But how Pinkie? How?!” Gallop said pressing her face against hers.

"By getting though this Gallop and having friends by your side. I'm going to try and have lots of fun! Fun! Fun! Fun! Fun! And you'll love fun too Gallop," Pinkie said.

Gallop laughed.

"You see Gallop, turn a sad day into a happy day," Pinkie said.

"Who is the leader of the group Pinkie? ” Gallop asked with a raised eyebrow expression.

"Well duh! You silly!," Pinkie said.

"Oh right, but I'm not a leader." Gallop nervously said.

Rainbow Dash overheard her and said:

"Woah woah Gallop, you're a Wonderbolt and you we such great leader in training! Use what you've learnt into what's right. Gallop thought for a moment. “I believe in you Gallop and a true friend will always be by your side."

"Oh thank you Rainbow!" Gallop said realising she was right. Gallop was close to tears and then she sees Equal town.

Equal town looked deserted. Very deserted! There were no pony in sight.

"What's happened?!" Pinkie Pie asked.

"I don't know Pinkie, but keep on your hooves and look around," Gallop said.

Gallop Crush then started giving orders:

"Rainbow! Look around and see if you can spot anything." 

"Yes ma'am!" Rainbow said saluting to her to which Gallop saluted back.

Rainbow then took to the skies and looked around the town to see if she can find anything.
“Applejack, Pinkie Pie search in the houses.” She then ordered.
“Apple Bloom, stay with me,” Gallop said to the slightly grown up red maned pony.
"Anything for you sis,” Apple Bloom said with a wink. Gallop then grinned at her. 
Meanwhile, Rainbow Dash was scanning the skies of Equal town until suddenly, she finds something under a tree. She then went to report back to Gallop as quickly as she could. Because let's face it she is the fastest Pegasus in Equestria, isn't she?
“Find anything Rainbow? ” She asked.
“Yes, I did Gallop....” Rainbow answered looking crestfallen.
“What is it Rainbow? What did you find? ” Gallop asked.
“No pony in the houses Gallop. All is clear,” Applejack said and then she saw Rainbow with a sad look on her face. “What happened?” She then asked.
“There... There is a pony under that tree over there,” Rainbow said with a sad look and hesitation.
Gallop Crush looked at the tree where Rainbow pointed.
“Stay with me guys,” Gallop said as she runs to the tree to see what she can find.
Gallop approached the tree with caution and there laying motionless on the ground under that tree was a dark blue Pegasus with a white spiked mane.
“That... that's Night Glider!” Pinkie Pie said close to crying.
“You're right, it IS Night Glider!” Rainbow Dash said in surprise.
“Pinkie, pass the walkie - talkie please,” Gallop said in a so called “Cadence Calm Down” voice. 
Pinkie passed the walkie - talkie to Gallop in a sad look on her face.

“Twilight, Twilight this Gallop Crush. Can you read me?,” Gallop said.
“Loud and clear Gallop over,” Twilight replied.
“Is Starlight with you?” Gallop asked.
“Yes she is, Why? What is it?” Twilight then asked her.
Starlight took the walkie-talkie from Twilight and then said:
“What happened? tell me what happened! Starlight demanded. 
“Well we found a pony. A dead pony!,” Gallop answered.
“Who? TELL ME WHO!,” Starlight insisted.
“It.. it's Night Glider,” Gallop said.
There was then silence until Starlight said with guilt and sadness:
“Noooooooooooooooo!” 
“I'm so sorry Starlight. I really am,” Gallop said.
Gallop then broke down in tears and Rainbow Dash immediately ran to hug the distressed pony.
“It's going to be okay Gallop,” Rainbow said.
“What's going to happen now Rainbow?” Gallop said looking up to her.
“We should keep moving Gallop, we must find shelter,” Rainbow answered.
“But Where?” Gallop said.
“If I recall right there is a cave, remember? The one where Starlight fled away in?,” Applejack said.
“Oh yeah I remember and we might see stalagmites! Oh those poor stalagmites. They're so alone with no friends,” Pinkie Pie.
“Pinkie come back to earth,” Rainbow said with a frown.
“Oh right, sorry!,” Pinkie Said.
“That's where we'll be heading then!,” Gallop said.
The group then headed to the cave and to safety.
There get into the cave and then Gallop hears a sound. 
VWORPS VWORPS VWORPS VWORPS VWORPS and then came a whooshing sound.
This could mean only one thing, a blue box is here.
