A few weeks later, he finally felt he was good enough friends with Pinkie to work on the next step of his plan. His friendship with Rarity had certainly taken a back seat, for he’d been getting much more useful information out of Pinkie.

“Hey, I’ve been wondering,” he said to his so-called friend. “How did Cozy, Tirek, and Chrysalis try to take over?”

“You don’t know?” Pinkie asked in response. “They used Grogar’s bewitching bell to power themselves up and drain the princesses and Discord of magic.”

Of course, he’d already known this. He simply had to divert suspicion towards his next question.

“So, what happened to the bewitching bell?”

“I’m pretty sure Twilight locked it away in the caves beneath Canterlot. That way, nopony would be able to get to it. At least, not easily, anyways.”

“But where did those villains even hide? How did you not know they’d all returned?”

“Well, you see, they had a secret lair. Twilight and the rest of us searched for it for quite a while, but we never found it.”

This was very interesting information indeed. He’d have to keep that in mind.
