Twilight, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Fluttershy searched in the library through every book they could find but nothing brought them closer to figuring out how Mayor Sweet Tooth created his magic spells. "How can there be nothing?"
"Twilight, darling, maybe Mayor Sweet Tooth really doesn't want to share his secrets. After all, everypony has their secrets, Mayor Sweet Tooth included."
"I'll say. When Twilight and I were talking with Mayor Sweet Tooth and Tootsie Roll last night, I could totally tell that Tootsie Roll had a fake smile. I think even Mayor Sweet Tooth had a few fake smiles as well, but it was a bit hard to tell," Pinkie Pie told them.
"Hmm. Maybe she and Mayor Sweet Tooth are hiding something. We'll have to wait for Applejack and Rainbow Dash to return from the factory to find out anything," Twilight said.
"How long do you think it will take them? Surely those two would have come up with a plan by now. After all, they make a great team," Fluttershy said curiously.
"Yeah, you'd think that they'd be back by now?" Pinkie Pie told her.
"Hmm. It is worrisome but Rainbow Dash and Applejack can handle themselves. They'll be back soon. I'm sure of it."
The girls continued to search through the library for a book about Mayor Sweet Tooth but they still found nothing. Just a basic history about his past home, how he earned his cutie mark, and how he started to town, and the factory but nothing else.
"This library is full of history and a lot of it is about Mayor Sweet Tooth's history but nothing about how he made a spell for the candy."
"I guess it makes sense. Not even Mr. and Mrs. Cake have their recipes written in books for everypony to see," Pinkie Pie told her.
"Yes, Darling. I'm sure Mayor Sweet Tooth doesn't want his competitors knowing his secrets, not even my competitors can know mine."
"Isn't strange how we can find almost anything on Mayor Sweet Tooth but nothing on his daughter, Tootsie Roll? It's almost like she appeared out of nowhere," Fluttershy told them.
Once Fluttershy said that, everything started to make more sense that something was up. "You know what, I think Fluttershy is right. If Mayor Sweet Tooth truly loves his daughter as he has mentioned then why isn't she even mentioned in any of these books? I'm sure he would have mentioned how he met her," Rarity told them.
"If something is wrong, then Rainbow Dash and Applejack could be in trouble. Come on, we have to go help them." The four ran out of the library as fast as they could. They knew that they had to get to their friends before it was too late. They were about to reach the factory but a grey unicorn pony in a black suit stood in their way. "Excuse us, but our friends are in the factory and they are late for a meeting. We need inside," Twilight told him.
"Sorry, but Mayor Sweet Tooth is not allowing anypony inside the factory. However, since I know you are his friends, I can take you four somewhere to wait for them," He told them.
The four were in a silent agreement. Even though Applejack wasn't with them, they could tell that this unicorn wasn't to be trusted. "Listen, our friends are inside and they were supposed to meet us a while ago. Now, please let us in."
"If you four aren't going to take no as an answer, then we'll have to do this the hard way." The unicorn powered up his horn.
"EVERYPONY RUN!" Twilight shouted. Everyone scattered in different directions but this proved to be futile as the unicorn was able to teleport everypony except for Twilight and Fluttershy who were cornered in a small alley with Pegasi flying above them. "Sorry, Princess." The two closed their eyes as the unicorn powered up his horn to teleport them but Twilight was faster and she teleported herself and Fluttershy somewhere else. "Find them! Mayor Sweet Tooth wants them gone so his plans can move forward."
Twilight and Fluttershy opened their eyes the found themselves in a dark room. "Are.... are they gone?" Fluttershy asked with her eyes still closed in fear.
"I... I think so. I teleported us out of there but something else interfered with my magic and brought us here instead of where I originally intended but I don't know what," Twilight told her as her horn provided some light in the darkroom that they were in.
"I brought you here." They two turned to the voice and found Tootie Roll standing there. "I need your help to stop Mayor Sweet Tooth from using my magic."
