//------------------------------// // Hiding from the truth // Story: The Dark Side of Quickbolt // by BarrelStudios //------------------------------// Chapter 2: Trying to hide what happened Quickbolt stepped into Twilight's library, Pinkie following shortly after. Applejack shot a look at Pinkie, almost thinking she knew what happened, "Anypony know what happened to Berry Punch?" Pinkie gave a sheepish grin. Quickbolt cleared his throat. "So, uh, why are we all here again?" He looked around the room. "Beats me." Rainbow Dash shrugged. Applejack was still looking at Pinkie. While nopony was looking, Quickbolt flashed out a gun and shot Applejack. Applejack collapsed. Everypony but Quickbolt and Pinkie screamed. (And Applejack. She's dead.) Instead Pinkie gave Quickbolt an evil grin and nodded. Quickbolt nodded back. Quickbolt and Pinkie then flung out the door. Everypony left at Twilight's looked around. Quickbolt and Pinkamena flung into the basement of Sugar Cube Corner. "Who is it today?" Quickbolt looked at the chart. " Lyra Heartstrings!" Pinkamena said after pulling out a number. "I know where we could find her." Quickbolt started walking upstairs.
