The Throne Room was quiet as Spike stared at them, none of the 5 talking as Flurry stared at him.
"Ok, what?" Spike asked "You all stopped just as you were about to actually tell me how you found me,"
"I need to go to the bathroom," Pound said, raising his hand as he did so,
"Ok so why did the rest of you stop?"
"It was Pounds turn to talk," Jasper said, Spike squinted and looked at them.
"You have a pre-determined order of who speaks during a story?" he shook his head "Yall are strange, alright," Spike got to his feet and walked over to Pound. "Juniper!" He called out earning a startling jump from Pound in the process. The door to the throne room swung open and a Grey medium-sized Diamond dog walked in "Would you take my..." Spike looked at Pound for a long moment "... hostage to my bathroom please?" Juniper motioned and Pound started walking, "Oh and if he tries to run away or fight you, just try to bring him back as alive as you can," Pound when even whiter than he naturally was as Juniper lead him out of the room.
"You didn't have to do that," Jasper said angrily "Pound would never try and run, especially since you can just pop out of nowhere and pull him back in here!" Spike squinted as Jasper for a moment then smiled.
"Aw, you really care about him don't you?" Spike was about to say something else when Jasper struck out, his fist went threw Spike's eye and threw the back of his head, there was silence for a moment before Jasper started shivering, Spike's smile never leaving his face as he continued talking "Bet that's uncomfortable," He said as Jasper pulled his arm out of Spikes skull, stringing a large amount of White goo with him, the goo went from a liquid to a gas very quickly and Spike patted Jasper's face. "Like putting your hand into a bowl of ice-cold jello ain't it?"
"You could say that," Jasper said as he continued to shiver, Spike's smile stayed on his face for a good moment before it melted into a frown.
"You look a lot like your father," He muttered as he looked Jasper "If I try really hard I can almost see Soarin's face when I look at yours, except your father had Green eyes, Spike booped Jaspers nose "You have Blue eye's just like your mother," the group watched as he walked back to his throne "By the way!" Spike said looking around "We're having Pizza for Dinner, and if none of you try and do the old stabbing in the back routine I'll even give you some dessert." Spike sat on the Large Brown Diamond dog that was his throne and started scratching her stomach, "You know who's a good girl?" The throne's tail began wagging "That's right it's you!" Several of the guards looked over in silence, Flurry could feel their jealousy towards the Throne,
"I'll have to make a note of that," She thought "Might be able to use that to our advantage when we make a break for it" The Room was quiet for a few minutes before Pound came back, shaking like no tomorrow, Spike stopped scratching his Throne and looked at Pound.
"Alright," Pound said clearing his throat "So Flurry had just said...."
"I think I may have finally found him," Pound stared at her in shocked silence, the rest of his friends doing the same,
"When you say him..." Zestar said pointer at her, then to her bedside table "...do you mean that him?" Next to Flurries bed was an old Photo of the 6 when they where all much younger, standing with them was Flurries uncle Spike, who had been their baby sitter for a good few years, longer than Zestar had been alive at least, He had always been with them, until one Day The mothers had brought him with them to help on some mission when they came back he was a shadow of his former self, literally a shadow that Princess Twilight had banished from Equestria using the Crystal heart, and none of them had seen or heard from him since.
"Yeah," Flurry said "That him," Pumpkin looked at the picture then to Flurry.
"For real?" She asked "You actually know, or you think you know?" Flurry pointed to the world map.
"We Marked out Equestria," She said simply "we dunno what he did or why but we do know that my Aunt hates him, the only ponies who where fine with him where Pinkie and my Father,"
"How is your dad doing?" Zestar asked "Heard one of the guards saying he was getting back out there,"
"That's a lie, Even after she left him my Mother's the only mare he loves, he's told me that many times, but back to the matter at hand, we know that every Princess is mad at him so he'd never hid in their homeland and threw my Fathers many searches he'd searched most of the countries around Equestria, but recently I realized something," Flurry pointed at the map "My Father forgot to take one thing into account, one small detail that, once placed into the map, leaves very few options," Flurry turned around with a smile
"My Father never took into account that Spike would try and avoid any and all contact with not just the Princesses but any and all Equines, any and all Griffins, any and all species that are allied with Equestria and as such would sell him out on sight to their Equestrian friends, witch leaves only three places," Flurry placed her hand on one spot "Thorax, king of the Changelings loved Spike and would hide him from the Princesses on Request, but Thorax isn't...sneaky enough for that task, if Spike was in Changling country a pony or a changeling or something would have seen him by now so that leaves us with two places," She moved her hand and placed it on the second location
"The second one is the Dragon lands, Dragon Lord Ember loved Spike just as much, maybe more, than Thorax but whereas Thorax isn't sneaky, Ember is rather violent, if Spike had run to Ember then there'd have been a Dragon Pony war without question. leaving the one Country on this continent that isn't allied with Equestria in one way or another, the one country that is overlooked by all others, the one place that no pony ever goes," Flurry placed her hand on the map and Peach Screamed out.
"No way!" she said as she ran up "I always forget that's its own Country!" Peach put her hand on the map, Right below the North Luna Ocean was a large forest area that was just marked on the map as Undiscovered forest, in small quotes almost impossible to read, read the words "Diamond Dog Country"
"The one species that has no connection with Equestria," Flurry smiled "Everyone pack your bags, Twilight and our Families won't be stopping us this time," Flurry lit her horn and the map was clear. "If we're fast enough she won't even notice where gone, a day's train ride, some searching and asking around, and bam she won't be able to ignore us this time,"
