The Mane 6 were still heading to the Fluttershy’s cabin. They hoped that colt was telling the truth and Fluttershy had returned by now. Rarity wasn’t as anxious as Twilight and Rainbow Dash, especially Rainbow Dash; who felt as she shouldn’t trust that colt; but she eased her worries; she just needed to relax; they will find Fluttershy at the cabin safe and sound.
“You girls think we should recruit Applejack?”
Pinkie Pie asked with concern. She knew Applejack was safe but wanted her to be here to help support her emotionally; what if Fluttershy is...! She can’t think of that; because she’s okay.
“Are you concern about her safety?” She’s safe at the barn, I... Checked in with her since the announcement was near Sweat Apple Anc8ers. We almost to Fluttershy’s cabin. Let’s check if Fluttershy’s there and if she is, then we alert her to stay inside.”
“And if she’s not darling?”
Rarity asked, a little anxiously. The group arrived at the bottom of the hill to Fluttershy’s cabin. Rainbow flew up the hill, opening the door with no hesitation. She flew into the cabin already searching for Fluttershy. Twilight was annoyed by Rainbow Dash’s action. They had made their way up the hill. Twilight anxiety spiked up. Why would the door be open and not locked? She inspected the door, seeing it possessed no damage. This info only calmed her anxiety a little bit. Again, if this is the same killer, he could’ve drawn her outside. There’s no blood on the trail up. There was blood involved in the Pie massacre. She didn’t see any blood by the house or up the hill. Maybe he/she covering their tracks this time? Rainbow Dash flew to the group, the group was moments away from entering the cabin. They would give Rainbow Dash a lecture for exploring the cabin without them. Twilight was about to lecture Rainbow on abandoning her friends: especially since she represents the element of loyalty.
“Is Fluttershy in there darling?”
Rarity asked. She hoped Rainbow’s answer would calm her and the rest of the group down, but if Fluttershy was in there, then Rainbow would’ve started a conversation.
“No, she’s not.”
Rainbow said frantically. Twilight started to search around the cabin; The others picked up on what she was doing and joined her. Pinkie Pie and Rarity search the bottom of the hill. Pinkie Pie decided to roll down the hill. Twilight and Rainbow Dash check around the house. Rainbow was searching from the air, thoroughly scouting the area.
“You don’t think were...”
Rainbow Dash gulped; fearful of what she’s about to say.
“Too late?”
Rainbow would blame herself if she was dead. She could’ve come here first. She decided to fly over the bushes. She spotted something red, at first she thought it was a rose or some type of red flower, her eyes shockingly caught a pair of yellow wings. They looked dread. Rainbow flew to the ground in shock. She didn’t need to pull the bushes apart. She knew who that was; pink mane and tail. Rainbow Dash now knows how Pinkie Pie felt.
“Did you find her!?”
Twilight asked from the top of the hill. Twilight notices Rainbow Dash’s face. She feared the worst.
“You looked... Like you saw a ghost... Rainbow Dash...?”
Rainbow Dash wanted to make a joke but didn’t. She was paralyzed with shock, fear, and regret. Pinkie Pie and Rarity accompanied Twilight and Rainbow Dash. They were listening to Twilight’s question, as well as her tone.
“Please... Don’t tell me...?”
Rarity saw the pair of wings, she gasped before covering her mouth and nearly fainting. Pinkie Pie spotted the pair of yellow wings, finding a pink mane and tail? She broke into tears; her mane and tail becoming deflated. Why does everypony she know and love die and meet death? Rainbow flew over the bushes; pulling them apart. The group as well as Rainbow Dash. Were paralyzed by the image. Twilight already felt grief over the Pie massacre. She didn’t want to believe this. Rainbow Dash felt like Pinkie Pie when she lost her sisters. She held back her sorrow. She didn’t want to lose her composer. Twilight felt the same. Rarity comfort Pinkie Pie, letting her tears flow.
“We have to go back to Ponyville, we need to report this to the police, as well as that colt. He was over here last. So-!?”
“He said she wasn’t here when he arrived.”
Twilight remembered the unicorn saying that. She believes that he could be lying. Why was he in Ponyville’s again? She forgot he told her that he wasn’t at the announcement.
“Do you think it’s that colt in the red cape?”
Rainbow Dash asked. She started to blame herself. She felt as she was being stabbed emotionally. She knew Fluttershy since they were fillies. She defended her honor. She...!
“Should... We take Fluttershy’s body...with us?”
Twilight remembered some detectives using hoof prints as leadings, and maybe even magic singularities.
Rainbow Dash moved to the bushes. Her face filled with regret. She attempted to grab the body.
“No Rainbow Dash! Don’t touch the body!”
Twilight reminded her friend not to mess with the scene
“Huh? Aren’t we bringing it to the police department?”
Rainbow Dash stopped her attempted, awaiting Twilight’s answer. She assumed it could cause more panic. She didn’t think of it leading her to the crime she didn’t commit.
“No, we will have them investigate this, if you touch it, your hoof prints will be scan and, will... You know what happens?”
Twilight left her to conclude the outcome after the body goes under examination.
“Alright. Alright. We would look suspicious if we took it with magic too.”
Rainbow Dash said with understanding.
“Exactly. Now follow me to the police station. It’s time to find and expose this killer.” If we went solo, he/she might be nearby, listening and watching us. Hoping we will break apart. We will not!”
Twilight’s motivated the group to not give up and accompany her. She didn’t want to lose any more friends; or herself.
“Yeah...”
Pinkie Pie said, wiping her tears away. Her mane and tail remaining deflated. Rarity agreed with her friends. Rainbow Dash asked Twilight a useful question.
“Twilight, can Unicorns teleport?”
Twilight remembers a spell that allowed teleportation. She didn’t think she could do it tho.
“Yes, we can, thanks for reminding me Rainbow Dash. I’ll try to teleport us there. Gather around me.”
Rainbow Dash hovered to the ground near Twilight. Twilight horn illuminated, she tried very hard to teleport the group. A bright white flash occurred. The group was gone. A few tears left behind from all, especially Rainbow Dash who let her’s drip when they left; she’ll pull herself together when they arrive.
