Fluttershy snuggled down into her couch, satisfied at having finally gotten the Crusaders quietly in bed. "Mmm, peace and quiet." She gasped "Too quiet!" She knew something had to be wrong; she rushed up to where they should have been sleeping.

They weren't there.

In a full panic now, Fluttershy rushed outside. "Girls? Girls?" She ducked into the chicken coop. "Elizabeak! She's missing!"

She rushed outside. "Girls?" There was a bit of torn fabric on the fence. "Oh, no! They must have gone looking for my missing chicken! Which means... they must have gone into..." She gulped. "The Everfree Forest!" 

Fluttershy took a moment to prepare herself. She would have to go in there and find them, no matter what, no matter how scared she—

"Oh, hi there, Fluttershy." Twilight came trotting out of the forest. "Looking for someone?"

Behind her, three little fillies followed, heads held low. They didn't dare to look at Fluttershy.

Twilight grinned. "I found these three out there chasing after a chicken. Good thing I found them, too. Did you know there's a cockatrice roaming around in there?"

"A cockatrice?" Fluttershy trembled where she stood.

"Don't worry." Twilight smiled. "I took care of it – teleported him into dragon territory. He shouldn't be bothering us anytime soon."

"Phew." Fluttershy finally let herself relax. "Well, thank you Twilight! Now, I think I have some little fillies to talk to!"
