As Trixie walked off the stage AJ an Pinkie stood up and cut her off
"Hello" Pinkie greeted "You must be Trixie?"
"Trixie is busy if you want me to sign something..."
"Oh no, I wanted to talk about my brother, his name is Spike." Trixie squinted at Pinkie
"The Dragon?" She asked
"Yes, the Dragon!" Pinkie replied
"He agreed to work free of charge," Trixie said immediately "and was more than happy to strap that Firecracker on his back, he even sighed some papers"
"Hello" Applejack cut it "just thought I should cut in and inform you that I can tell when ponies are lying." Trixie looked at her in silence, then with a bang, she threw down a smoke bomb, the duo coughed
"Dangit, now well never find...oh wait, there she is" Pinkie watch as Trixie ran away as fast as she could in the opposite direction
"Guess she can't teleport" Applejack muttered as Pinkie was about to follow, only for a Rainbow to slam in front of Trixie 
"Hey there" Rainbow Dash greeted throwing her hoof around Trixie's neck and motioning her friend over "I have a few questions about my friend you just detonated"
"He agreed to it!" Trixie shot back
"That's true" AJ Shouted
"he strapped himself in and detonated it himself" Rainbow looked over at AJ who nodded "And he said nothing about being paid!" AJ nodded and Trixie finished "Now if you'll excuse me..." BAM! as the Trio coughed Trixie made a run for it, only to be stopped by Rarity
"Morning."
"Oh, my Celestia" Trixie groaned as the now 4 surrounded her "What do you ponies want?"
"Why would you let him strap himself to a Rocket!"
"It was I Firecracker!"
"Same Difference!" Rainbow shot back "He usually uses Balloon."
"Well actually..." Aj started only to be hushed by Pinkie 
"Shh, it's a surprise!" 
"What's a Surprise?" Rainbow asked
"We're getting off topic!" Rarity said, "Dear, you see, Spike is a dear Freind to Everypony in this town, and while this is far from the first time Spike has exploded, we prefer to not encourage him to do so." Trixie looked for a way out, only to find more less than happy ponies coming towards them, at least 6 of them by her count, she looked around, then Threw down a total of 8 smoke bombs and ran as fast as she could to her trailer, locking the door behind her. Once it cleared up the mob formed together,
"Where'd she go?" Scootaloo asked, "I got a word or two for that Trixie!"
"Eeyup"
"Where's Spike?" Aloe asked
"Fluttershy's taking care of him at the moment, He's getting...oh no" Pinkie sighed as Fluttershy landed in front of them "Spike ran off didn't he?"
"Yeah" Fluttershy muttered, the entire group sighed
"I should have guessed, alright everypony split up and find him, before he does something stupid!" There was silence "something Stupider than what he already did" she added as the group split into group's of 2 and spread out
