Twilight's friends watched her as she paced around the throne room of her castle, deep in thought. It had been a few hours since the accident at Sugarcube Corner and none of the ponies in the room were able to get it off their minds. They were all too upset to think about anything other than their friend's disappearance. When they returned to the Castle of Friendship, they had managed to tell Starlight Glimmer what happened and the pink Unicorn became as devastated as they were.
Starlight Glimmer joined them in the throne room, hoping to help them look for Pinkie. Twilight had planned in advance and they were to travel Equestria in order to find her. Twilight was hopeful they could find. They had to find her. They hoped she was at least somewhere in Equestria. She just had to be.
"Where should we look first?" Rainbow Dash asked as she watched Twilight pace around the Cutie Map before examining it. The Alicorn carefully scanned the map, presumably looking for the first place they were to go to look for Pinkie Pie. Finally, Twilight turned and addressed her friends.
"I really think and suggest we should start looking for Pinkie in Canterlot." Twilight said. "Or maybe Cloudsdale." The Alicorn scratched her head and became sheepish.
"Cloudsdale, seriously! Twilight, not all of us have wings." Rainbow Dash replied. To prove her point, Rainbow directed Twilight's attention towards Applejack, Rarity, and Starlight Glimmer.
Twilight let out a soft chuckle and turned back towards Rainbow Dash, a sheepish smile plastered on her face. "Okay, so maybe we can't all go to Cloudsdale." Twilight's sheepish smile grew. "Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, and I will search for Pinkie in Cloudsdale."
"Twilight, darling, you do realize Pinkie is an earth pony and therefore can't stand or walk on Cloudsdale. Right." Rarity said. Twilight watched as she trotted over, sat down, and put a hoof around her. Twilight looked up at her and smiled, resting her head against Rarity's chest as a sign of friendship.
"Yes, Rarity, I realize." Twilight spoke softly, her head still rested against Rarity's chest.
"Ok, so ah guess that crosses Cloudsdale off our list of possible places where Pinkie could be." Applejack spoke up. Rarity and Twilight watched as she got up and trotted over to the Cutie Map.
Applejack carefully examined the map for a more reasonable place to go to and try to look for Pinkie. After a while, she turned and looked at Twilight, whose head was still rested against Rarity's chest.
"You did mention we should search for Pinkie in Canterlot first, right Twilight?" Applejack asked. The question roused the smiling Alicorn and she sat up, her eyes on Applejack.
"I was thinking we could save Canterlot for last, Applejack." Twilight said as she got up and headed towards her throne. She looked over at her friends, motioning for them to do the same.
"Sounds reasonable." Applejack said, getting into her throne. She looked over at Twilight and rested her head on her hoof. "But where are we going to go and search for Pinkie now."
Twilight looked down at the map, an idea forming in her head. She turned to look at her friends and smiled. 'I think I know where we can look." Twilight pointed a hoof at Pinkie's family's rock farm.
"Are you sure." Applejack said in confusion. "Ah thought Pinkie only went there during the holidays." She looked at Twilight, hoping for an answer.
"I thought she only went there whenever she felt like it." Twilight replied, scratching her head. She put her hoof down and glanced at Applejack.
"Maybe she does." Applejack replied, getting up off her throne and trotting towards Twilight's. "But I don't think she's there. She usually tells us when she's going."
"Right." Twilight said. "But we're still gonna make sure."
