"A whole week! Where could that mare be?!" Rainbow Dash remarked, flying in Twilight's face.
"Well, maybe she had to go somewhere. You never know with Pinkie Pie," Twilight responded, pushing Rainbow out of her face.
"Uh... well... I honestly am a little concerned about her..." Fluttershy said, looking to the ground.
"Ah agree with Fluttershy. Pinkie's not sent any letter or anythin' explainin' where she might've gone," Applejack agreed, patting her friend on the back.
"I agree. Twilight, we shouldn't let this go without knowing for sure where she is. What if she got hurt?" Rarity said, looking at Twilight.
The alicorn thought for a moment. "You're right. But we never know. She could be planning a surprise, and doesn't want to show herself to us. She might want us thinking she disappeared, only to appear later and surprise us."
"I know... but we can't just assume that! Pinkie Pie could've been kidnapped, hurt, or worse! We must find her!" Rarity responding, standing up.
Twilight sighed. "Fine. We can look for her. But... where?"
Rainbow raised a hoof. "I can fly around Ponyville looking for her!"
"Ah'll check her house," Applejack added on, standing up and stretching her legs.
Twilight nodded. "Alright. Everypony else, let's separate and look around Ponyville for her."
Fluttershy tried to speak up. "Um... don't you think we should look in the pizzeria she said she was going to?" Nopony heard her, for they were all already looking around corners and buildings for their friend. Fluttershy hovered into the air and took off into the sky, looking at the fertile ground beneath her.
"Pinkie! Are ya here?" Applejack called as she walked into Sugarcube Corner. Mrs. Cake looked at her, her facial expression turning into a small look of concern.
"Sorry, Applejack. If you're looking for Pinkie Pie, she's not here."
Applejack looked around. "Alright. Do ya know where she is? She's been gone for a week!"
Mrs. Cake's eyes widened. "Oh... no, I'm afraid I don't know. And I thought she was sleeping over with you guys, since she doesn't tell me when she does. She is a grown mare, after all..."
"Well, maybe she went out of town. You never know with her," Mr. Carrot Cake said, walking in.
"Maybe. But she would've told us first instead of havin' us worry about her," Applejack responded as she turned to the door. "Thanks. Ah need to check more places for her. Ah promise we'll find her!"
"Thank you, Applejack! Tell her that we need her to taste a few things," Mrs. Cake responded as Applejack ran out the door.
When Applejack got outside, she found all her friends waiting outside Sugarcube Corner.
"Wait.... you four are already done lookin'?!" Applejack questioned as Twilight nodded.
"We all took an area, and with Ponyville being really small, it was easy to check everywhere." Twilight then looked down to the ground. "But that's not the point," she then looked back up to Applejack, a small look of concern in her eyes. "You didn't find her, did you?"
Applejack shook her head. "Nope. The Cakes don't even know where she is," Applejack looked at her friends. "Ah guess that means you didn't find her, either."
"Nope. Fluttershy and I even had aerial views and couldn't find her," Rainbow Dash responded, pointing up to the sky.
Rarity sighed. "Any other ideas?"
Fluttershy raised her hoof shyly. "We can go check the pizzeria. That's where she said she was going, so maybe she's there."
Twilight smiled. "Good idea, Fluttershy! Why didn't I think of that?" Twilight then started walking over. "Let's go find our friend!"
"Yeah! And get some pizza while we're at it!" Rainbow Dash added on as she flew over with her friends.
