'Applebloom' growled around the apple that had been shoved into her mouth. 'Scootaloo' had been gagged by a large amount of cloud stuff and 'Sweetiebelle' had yet to chew through all the jelly foals Rarity had crammed in her mouth.
The reason for this of course was this was the small groups second attempt to hide from the stampeded chasing them. The first had been ruined when 'Applebloom' had started singing something about a Mudskipper named Muddy and his show.
Of course that lead to another twenty minutes of running around town like mad before they found another hiding place in a dumpster outside one of the smaller bistros in town.
Rarity was not pleased to be hiding in garbage, but at least she was quiet about it.
Once the mob had passed the others snuck around until they could see the Library, though it hadn't noticed them and was about to start fighting some of the other giant creatures that were hunting the Bearers.
“Alright I have a plan.” Rarity offered.
“Is it a good plan?” Applejack asked.
“Not in the slightest.” Rarity concluded.” But I want this to be over soon as I desperately need a bath.”
“Well I'm in, but only because all our good plans haven't done very well.” Pinkie Pie added.
“Can't argue with that.” Rainbow Dash nodded.
“Alright... lets hear it.” Applejack muttered.
“Right we leave the girls tied up and in the dumpster for now......Scratch that, three separate dumpsters.” Rarity corrected.” Then while Applejack and I draw the library's attention Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie will try to get inside to recover the book Twilight mentioned. Then the pair of us shall do our best to escape once again and meet back at Fluttershy's after recovering the girls. Any objections.”
“Nothin comes to mind.” Applejack shrugged.
“Right then. Let's do this.” Rarity shuddered as they started the plan.
“How........?” Fluttershy muttered looking at the pile of books surrounding Twilight. The mare had read everything Fluttershy had? And according to Twilight it was still boring and every one was doomed. Fluttershy had gathered some potted plants and a few things of science that she had as well, but nothing changed. The pile of things around her couch was done up almost like the library itself.
This was as close to Twilight natural environment as Fluttershy could get. Fluttershy had even opened a limited edition Pontera album to let Twilight read the songs lyrics that were included and nothing happened.
She was seriously thinking of bringing her personal journal out, but she was still wary on that.
Spike was stumbling after Angel bunny, the rabbit simply keeping out of the dragons reach with a very annoyed expression.
“Oh dear this isn't working.... nothings making her snap out of it.” Fluttershy fretted.
Angel let out a number of angry noises drawing her attention and the white rabbit tripped the dragon letting him tumble into a wall before he hopped the other way.
“Well I've tried everything I can think of and she's not reacting. She's in a secure environment, she's been presented with care... everything for treating a animal in shock.....”
Angel ranted again.
“No Angel I don't think slapping her is going to do anything, it's not that sort of shock. Also I doubt Wolf of the Harvest Moon's value as a medical instructor.”Fluttershy frowned.” And don't think I haven't seen you hit Spike a few times already and you know that did nothing.”
Angel crossed his fore paws and hopped over Spike as he ran at him squeaking at Fluttershy.
“A list?”
Angel nodded.
Fluttershy considered gathering up a quill and scroll.
“Lets see step one clear the area of immediate danger.” Fluttershy blinked looking out her window to the madness outside. “ Well that's a check or at least as close as we can get.”
She made a notation.
“Step two,contact the relevant authority to help..... oh wait that's me.....” Fluttershy mumbled. “ Also check.”
Angel Bunny rolled his eyes.
“ Step three help comfort the animal if it's safe to do so..... That doesn't seem to be working.” Fluttershy frowned.” Step four do not feed or give an animal water unless the relevant authority advises it....”
Angel glared.
“Step five make a note where the animal was found, step six do not try to care for the animal yourself, step seven if you can get the animal to a vet do so.” Fluttershy concluded with the list.
Angel grumbles smacking his face with a paw.
“Yes well I suppose making a list of filly scout information is a little silly as none of it applies to me really. I'm the one they would need to contact after all.” Fluttershy sighs.” So I can only check off two or three of these things.
Fluttershy noticed Twilight twitched again at that but little more.
Angel frowned deeper tripping, Spike to fall on his face as he hopped backwards a moment. He wanted these two out of his house, that they were worrying Fluttershy so much just made him angrier. If her usually care didn't work then he needed to think of something to get the mares butt moving, but what?
After a moment the white rabbit seemed to get an idea and ran off upstairs checking all the burrows on the way up as if looking for one of the other animals.
“Oh, dear..... That cannot be a good thing.” Fluttershy whined rushing up after him.

Princess Luna's left eye twitched.
She looked back out into the hall behind them where the rolling mass of Celestia had gotten stuck again when the tunnel narrowed. Luna was quite certain she was looking at her sisters back side and the corpulent Princess was mooning her.
She was well aware of the humor in that.
She looked back into Princess Cadence's secret room and to the white alicorn of the sun sitting there happily munching on a box of her thinist of mints. She knew they were hers as Tia had not even taken them out of the old strawberry moon pie box she had hid them in. Her sister hated the strawberry ones for some reason.
“Whoa there's two princess?” Scootaloo asked.
“ Three actually. “ Celestia replied before stuffing another cookie in her mouth. “ Myself, Luna, and Candace.”
“ Tia what!?” Luna snapped looking out the door at the glob of white fur then back at her sister.” Are those our mints of thinness?”
“They were until you stole mine. Don't think I forgot about that, and trying to pin it on Cadence, for shame.” Celestia smiled.
“ Don't thee 'for shame' me Tia.” Luna snapped.” Thou stole Cadence's cookies first.”
“Wait if this is Princess Celestia.” Sweetiebelle asked. “What's that thing?”
“One of Discord's less flattering tricks I expect.” Celestia sighed.
“What happened to the cake monsters?” Applebloom questioned.
“Still in the throne room I expect. I was quite ready to eat them to defeat them.” Celestia smirked at the rhyme.”But under the frosting they were alfalfa flavored.”
Luna stuck out her tongue at that.
“Still after a few bites of very tasty frosting and then the horror underneath I needed something to get the taste out of my mouth.” Celestia nodded shoving another cookie in her mouth.” And thus, cookies.”
“ Where is Princess Cadence any way?” Sweetiebelle asked.
“GET BACK HERE SHINING, SO HELP ME!!!” Princess Cadence screamed out.
“Woo.” Shining laughed sliding down the main halls banister his sack of undergarments grown much longer after he raided both Celestia and Luna's rooms.
“Frankly I am not sure, But I am certain she is alright.” Celestia smiled at the three foals. “ I do apologize for this particular trip being a bust and all the oddness. Perhaps another sleep over can be scheduled at another time.”
“Tia thine are being far too calm.” Luna frowned.” And what are thou even doing hiding here with the castle in such chaos?”
“Waiting of course.”
“Waiting?”
“Indeed. I have faith Twilight and her friends will be dealing with this, and if they fail Bleu already knows Discord is coming back and once she notices the chaos she will show up and likely beat the fool out of him for what he did to her last time.” Celestia sighed. “ Bleu cannot take a joke very well if it's at her expense.”
“So you plan to just sit here and wait?” Scootaloo asked in confusion.
“It is not as we can do much trapped in the castle little one.” Celestia sighed. “ Besides. I need to steel myself for the chewing out I know my former student plans to give me.”
