Torn Apart

Wash's Mission

Dear Twilight Sparkle,
I have noticed that you have not sent me a report on the magic of friendship for two weeks now. I understand that maybe nothing note worthy has happened in the last two weeks, but it would be nice if you at least let me know that. Now that that is out of the way I can now tell you the main reason why I have sent this letter. Two weeks ago a stallion was found in front of the Royal Castle. When I asked his name he made it quite obvious by naming himself after the first thing he saw a pony doing, he calls himself Wash. He is completely grey with a weird cutie mark which I can only guess it means accuracy, he is also a unicorn. I can tell he has great magical power and he needs a place to stay as we have run out of room for him here, I was wondering if you could find a place for him to stay.
Sincerely, Princess Celestia

TWO WEEKS LATER

"You wanted to see me Princess Celestia?" Wash said as he entered the room.
"Yes. You remember Twilight Sparkle, right?" Celestia asked.
"If you mean the girl I was supposed to go live with two weeks ago, then yes." Wash said looking excited to go live with someone he would get to talk to more often. Princess Celestia was to busy to even talk to Wash.
"Yes, she still hasn't responded by the way." Celestia said, causing Wash to look disheartened. "Anyways, last night I got worried that something had happened to her, so I sent some of my guards there to check-up on her, but instead of finding Twilight, they found two corpses..." Princess Celestia trailed off as tears welled up in her eyes.
"Who were they?" Wash asked slowly, trying not to upset the princess.
"They were princess Cadence and her husband Shining Armor." Celestia replied weakly as tears started to roll down her cheeks.
"So why did u call me here?" Wash ask, wanting to get out of this awkward situation.
"Oh yea, that..." Celestia said regaining some of her composure. "I would like you to go out and find Twilight." Celestia said.
"Okay, where should I start looking?" Wash asked, ready to finally get out of the castle.
"I suggest you start at the Apple Family Farm, there is a pony named Applejack who lives there who will know where Twilight disappeared to." Celestia said finally regaining all of her composure.
"I'm on it!" Wash shouted as he ran out the door to a carriage that would take him to ponyville, a place he heard so much about from the guards. He was eager to finally see what this small town was like.
