//------------------------------// // Chapter 3 (part 1): What's Wrong? (Fluttershy) // Story: Apple Sleep Experiment (Expanded) // by SirVindicator //------------------------------// It has been more than a week since Applejack disappeared and all of us were incredibly worried. Although I really didn't have to be as worried now since Twilight is working on a cure for Applejack and there is more water for the animals now. I really hope that she doesn't kill any more ponies in the meantime. For right now I just have to care for the animals, I really should consider building a sanctuary in the future. Rainbow Dash and Blight Bow were put in charge of patrolling Ponyville to make sure that no more ponies wander off on their own. Blight Bow left Quiver in my care, dispite Quiver's MANY objections. I swear that falcon stubbornness almost rivals Angelbunny's. As for Rarity she had a business to run and in her words fashion waits for no pony. *Knock knock knock* "Who is it?" "Rainbow Dash and I have some bad news." Rainbow Dash entered looking in poor spirits. "What's wrong?" "Lyra ran off somewhere! She was looking everywhere for Bon Bon. She she said that she needed to find her and that she couldn't live without her. Apparently Bon Bon went missing a day ago, on some 'secret business' and no one could find her. Lyra mentioned that she was supposed to be back this evening." "Oh my." "I really don't want to have to break this news to Twilight." "So, about AppleJack?" "We can't do anything until Twilight has the cure." "So after she is cured, what are we going to do?" "What do you mean, Fluttershy?" "After Applejack is cured, how is she going to deal with the fact that she killed several ponies?" "I don't know and I really don't want to think about it. I need to get back to patrolling." Rainbow Dash said defensively. "I sorry, I just-" she stopped me and said, "Applejack is an Element of Harmony, Fluttershy." Rainbow Dash said nothing else and left my cottage. I really hope that Twilight comes up with a cure soon.
