"Rules are made to be broken, especially those of the universe."





"Pinkie!" Twilight shouted as the pink pony was doing... something. "I need to ward this room against evil cake-destroying evil." Pinkie answered with a straight face. Twilight, Starlight, Joe Bagel, Celestia and Luna all facehooved. Not because of the answer, but because they actually bothered asking.

Twilight tried to  ignore her and continue drawing actual working wards. Luna was busy making a tether while Celestia was trying to find Trixie's location. Starlight was enchanting some scissors. Oddly enough cutting a hole into the fabric of reality is quite literal. But you need sturdy scissors to do that, very sturdy ones.

She took a quick look at the pile of half-melted scissors laying on her left. She quickly focused again on the wards. While she was doing that, she couldn't help but think about the incompetence of the law enforcements.

Twilight had gone to a little town where Trixie had allegedly set a house on fire, no casualties fortunately. she was not happy when she instantly stepped on proof of her innocence, the second she came out of the train. Instantly! She personally arrested the actual culprit, fired the sheriff and a deputy, after a very, VERY angry scolding, before promoting the other deputy to the role of sheriff.

The only reason why she did not fire that deputy was because he had been on vacation and out of town at the time. This happened too many times for her liking. She counted. 148 Ponies fired for incompetence and 23 criminals personnal arrested by Twilight. And that's only from the towns and cities that she had visited.

This angered her. She used said anger as a motivation to bring Trixie safely back home.

She also thought back on how horrible her friends had behaved when they first met Trixie. She was a showpony, it's her job to brag and entertain ponies. And then Snips and Snails woke an Ursa Minor and Trixie got the blame for it. Snips and Snails had gotten a very minor punishment. Twilight felt ashamed that she hadn't done anything to help.

"Finished!" Starlight joyfully shouted. She held the glowing scissors up. She then stabbed into a thick block of metal that had been used for enchanting some wards. The scissor slid into the metal like it had been butter. She then tried to pull it out. It had gotten stuck.

"Oops?" Starlight sheepishly mumbled. She then proceeded to fruitlessly try and pull it out. Twilight sighed, while both Luna and Celestia giggled. "With your back, pull with your back..." Pinkie unhelpfully advised. Bagel then started pulling alongside Starlight. The scissor did not budge at all.

"I'm also ready, however I will try not to get it stuck." Luna quipped. Starlight glared at her, but was too busy pulling the scissor to quip anything back. "The only one that isn't ready is my dear sister." Luna had a massive grin on her face. Celestia  rolled her eyes. "Finding anything through the never ending void that is the universe is not an easy task. Or would you like to try? I still remember what happened the last time you tried."

Luna blushed. "You better not tell! you promised that you would never speak of this." Celestia shuckled. Pinkie then popped up speaking in her usual pinkie voice "Didyoutryandopenadoortoyourfavoritefairytalebecauseofhowthemultive..." Luna  shoved a hoof in Pinkie's mouth, shutting her up. "How?!" Luna asked through clenched teeth.

"Well, I..." "Found her." Celestia interrupted her. Twilight quickly rushed to the side of her old teacher. Celestia was holding a glowing orb in her magic. "This will allow us to know her location. But it won't give us any details about where she is or in what state she is."

It'll take a few hours, but Twilight would soon be able to save Trixie. CRAASHH Maybe a day with Pinkie's "Help". 
The thought of helping Trixie made her surprisingly happy. It was only a matter of time.


Nothing could go wrong.
