Applejack's POV

Mah friends and I, were at sugarcube corner, worrying. What might be so worrying, you ask? Fluttershy was missing.

Twilight was pacing back and forth. "Ok Pinkie, tell me again what happened."

"Well, I asked Fluttershy to get some refreshments that were in my front yard but then she didn't come back, I thought she forgot, or something like that, so I shrugged it off." She sighed, "I should've checked on her, and been a better friend." She frowned. 

"Pinkie it wasn't yer fault. No one's blamin' you, right girls?" I said. We all nodded.

"Now, we have to focus on finding clues. Hmmm……..…Pinkie you said it was the front yard, right?" Twilight asked. 

"Yep!" Pinkie answered.

Twilight continued. "So we'll start there—" "—tomorrow" Rainbow interrupted her. "But why?" Rarity asked. 

"Well because, I don't know, it's the middle of the night!! Plus how will we find clues in the darkness, on top of us being sleepy?" Rainbow explained. "Well Rainbow looks like yah're makin' sense……for once." I said with a smirk, getting a 'HEY!' from her. "Maybe you're right Rainbow dear. We'll meet up in the morning and figure it out alright?" Rarity asked, earning a 'right' from us.

Ah hope we find Fluttershy tomorrow, I thought. 

Rainbows POV

I opened my eyes, to find myself in an ethereal plane. "W-what? Where am I?" I muttered to myself. 

"Hello, dear child." Said a male voice right behind me. 

I whipped around and saw…nothing? "Ok, this is weird……who are you? Where are you?" I yelled into the darkness.

"Who or where I am is not important right now Rainbow…and no don't ask how I know your name either." He said. 

I nodded.

"Good, now please listen. Your friend Fluttershy is in danger, and so are you and your friends. I cannot tell you alot, I am not allowed to, but all I can say is prepare to face your fears." He explained.

"Ok?….….We will." After a brief moment of hesitation I suddenly felt like……I knew that voice, somewhere I've heard before, and I felt that I could trust it, "But can you please tell me how you know me?" I asked into the darkness once again, which was kinda awkward, since I was literally talking to nothing.

"I don't think I would forget my own descendent." He said. I turned to see two magenta  eyes staring right at me. 

And then…

I woke up.
