“We should follow her.”
Sugar Belle asked, “You have a bad vibe about her too, Jake?”
“Yeah,” I answered.
“Then let’s go before we lose sight of her,” Night Glider suggested.
With that, Starlight, I, and all the villagers -- not just Double Diamond, Sugar Belle, Party Favor, and Wind Glider -- departed the village and followed the suspicious pony to the mountains near the village. Starlight cast a special type of invisibility spell to hide us from the view of the mare if she turned around, but it still allowed us to see each other. From our point of view, we just looked a little darker.
When we saw the odd-acting pony go into a cave in the mountains, Starlight canceled her spell and we all followed the strange mare, careful to keep a safe distance.
Once deep in the cave, we all gasped. A changeling were there, and the ‘pony’ we stalked turned into another changeling in a green fire.
We all stepped back to stay out of sight and Starlight whispered, “What are changelings doing here?”
I guessed, “Maybe they rejected the changeling ways like Thorax did.”
Party Favor suggested, “First, let’s hear what they’re saying.”
We heard the changelings talking about a plan to capture Twilight, the other Princesses, and even Spike, Applejack, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy. The plan was already in motion and these two were part of a group that would later travel to Ponyville. If we didn’t do something, Twilight and my friends would be in grave danger!
Sugar Belle said, “I knew that ‘pony’ was bad news!”
“I’m glad Jake and Sugar Belle wanted to come,“ Night Glider commented.
“But how what do we do, Jake?” Starlight asked, staring at me with fearful eyes.
I thought hard about what to do next. We could try to fight them here and now, or we could warn Twilight and our friends.
“Hmm. Well, since there are two of them…”
