Lyra hurried through town, confident that she would find Twilight before Fern. As Lyra rushed over every corner of town she failed to notice Rainbow Dash fly overhead. "Hey Lyra! Lyraaaa!" Rainbow called out, however her call fell on death ears as Lyra was too busy searching for Twilight. "Never mind..." Rainbow muttered as Lyra vanished into a large crowd of ponies. Rainbow turned her attention back to her task, to find the creature Twilight was after. "If I was a vicious sword manic plant-person, where would I hide?" Rainbow mused as she scanned the quiet town.
"Sssssssmall pony!?" Rainbow heard a voice hiss in the distance. "Ssssss! Ssssssshe ran off!" The hissing continued for a moment before settling down.
"Wait a minute, I swear Twilight said that the... Whatever it was hissed a lot." Rainbow turned around and tried to find the source of the hissing, she quickly flew over to sugar cube corner.
"Hiya Rainbow!" Rainbow heard Pinkie call out. "Have you seen that... Thing!" Rainbow landed and walked over to Pinkie.
"What thing? Was it with Lyra?" Rainbow grilled Pinkie, Pinkie chuckled and placed a hoof on Rainbow's back.
"Wow Rainbow, you didn't tell me you could read minds!" Pinkie joked. "Yes, the thing was with Lyra. But Lyra ran out and left her with me, then she ran out trying to find Lyra. I saw her heading to the park."
"Thanks Pinkie!" Rainbow said as she dashed off towards the part at high speeds.
"Sssssss!" Fern hissed as she sat down under a tree in the part. "Sssssssilly ssssssssmall pony, leaving Floran behind." Fern sighed and pulled out her matter manipulator, within moments a large square of water was suspended in front of Fern, who began to drink the water rapidly. "Sssssss... Floran sssssssso thirsty." Fern finished the water quickly and sighed happily. "Ssssss... Floran not thirsty... Floran hungry." Fern dug into the brown and removed one of the muffins. "Muffin..." Fern examined the muffin before carefully taking a small bite. After deciding that the muffin was in fact, delicious Fern then threw the rest into her mouth.
"Celestia dam it! How can one plant be so hard to find!?" Fern heard someone shout from above. "I give up... At least I tried." Fern heard a rustling from the tree above her.
"Sssss?" Fern hissed as she looked up. "Isssssss sssssomething there?" Fern couldn't see anything in the tree due to a thick layer of leaves at the bottom layer.
"Hey, what?" Something called out from the tree. "Who's down there?"
"..." Fern remained silent and examined the tree. "Who issssss in the tree?"
"Who is down there!?" The voice called down.
"Sssssss!" Fern hissed. "Come down from tree!" Fern ordered as she got up. "Come down or Floran knock it down!" Fern readied her matter manipulator and pointed it at the base of the tree.
"Pfft, like that's going to happen!" The voice taunted.
"Sssss!" Fern activated the manipulator. The tree started to shake with increasing speed.
"W-Woah! What are you doing!?" The voice called back, sounding panicked. "S-Stop! I'm up here!"
"Sssss! Creature not come down tree, sssssssoo Floran chop tree down!" The tree shook violently one final time before falling down in a heap, the cut wood responded with the manipulator and neatly stacked itself. Rainbow Dash was on top of a small pile off wood, frowning at Fern.
"That... Was... My... Napping... Tree!" Rainbow angrily said, removing her hair from her eyes. "How did you even..." Rainbow scanned over Fern. "Its you! That thing Twilight is looking for!"
"Ssssss! Sssssssmall pony wassssssss looking for Floran?" Fern curiously said. "Did other ssssssssmall pony tell you to find me?"
"Uhhhhh... Which small pony are you talking about?" Rainbow curiously asked.
"Ssssssssmall one..." Fern chuckled. "Tell Floran what sssssmall pony lookssssss like."
"She's purple, goes by the name of Twilight, she is a alicorn." Rainbow stated. "Kinda hard to miss her, she is a total egghead."
"Sssss. Floran hasssssss not sssssseen any sssssssmall poniessssss with egg-headsssssss." Fern rubbed her head. "How doesssssss a ssssssssmall pony get an egg-head?"
"Not like that... Jeez, I didn't mean an egg for a head... That would funny! Twilight is just..." Rainbow froze up. "S-Smart..." Rainbow stuttered as she hissed the word.
"Oh. Maybe sssssssmall pony ssssssshould have sssssssaid." Fern stated flatly as she sat back down.
"It doesn't matter, she asked me to find you." Rainbow brashly replied.
"Oh Fern! There you are!" Fern turned her head and saw Lyra running into the park.
"Lyra! What are you doing here? Twilight is looking for you!" Rainbow exclaimed.
"I know, I saw her a minute ago." Lyra said. "Fern, we need to go find that pony we were with yesterday. The Princess is coming down to see you!" Lyra excitedly said.
"Ssssss... Floran just want to fix sssssship. Ssssssmall poniessssss are too sssssssstressful." Fern sighed. "Floran tired already..."
"C'mon Fern. If the Princess helps you, you will be back on your ship in no time!" Lyra happily said.
"Sssss..." Fern hissed as she got up. "Fine, take Floran too ssssssmall pony."
"Yeah, come on then." Rainbow hastily said as she started walking. "Also, you owe me a tree." Rainbow stated.
"Floran warned sssssssmall pony. Floran doessssss not owe ssssssmall pony anything." Fern smugly said.
"You chopped down the tree I napped in. WHILE I WAS ON IT!" Rainbow angrily said.
"Sssssssssmall pony not listen to Floran, that issssssss why Floran chop tree." Fern stated. "Maybe next time ssssssssmall pony will listen to Floran."
"I didn't think you would chop it down!" Rainbow shouted.
"You cut a tree down!?" Lyra said sounding shocked. "How did you manage that?" Fern pulled out the matter manipulator and confidently held it up. "How did that chop down a tree?" Fern pointed the device at the ground and removed a perfect square of dirt.
"Ssssss, device manipulatessssssssss matter. Treessssssss are matter." Fern stated proudly. Rainbow rolled her eyes and sighed.
"Go figure you would have something that can literately tear down buildings." Rainbow huffed. "If you go tearing down any buildings..."
"Well, I can see that you two are going to be barrel of laughs..." Lyra sighed as the trio walked through Ponyville.
