Chapter 21

Manehatten Suburbs

Coco was sleeping in her bed resting her head on her pillow and hugging her blanket close. She was having a strange dream. She saw something that looked like a giant skinny ape with black and white features with black tears rolling down its...smiling sharp toothed mouth and long sharp claws.

'Gasp' She awoke looking around her room she saw Vixen sleeping on the ceiling.....somehow. She did a double check around her room just in case. She still wasn't convinced. She threw the covers aside and leaned over and took her lantern she keeps in drawer out.

After quickly lit it looking around she looked out the window checking for anything that could be watching her. After a minute she decided she was being paranoid. She blew out the lantern, put it away and got back in bed and went sleep.

She was getting a lot of stares heading to the train station. Mainly 'cause of the mechanicly broken down fox following her, but nearly everypony didn't think about it or bother her though they did keep their distance. After a while she started noticing a lot of missing pony posters including....

"Sufi Polomare?!?" She stated in surprise to see that her former boss was missing. Coco knew Suri took self defense classes from time to time and she's a unicorn. "It doesn't make any sense." She said to herself putting a hoof to her chin Vixen stopping to wonder at how many ponies are missing.

The train whistle nearby broke her from her thoughts. "That's the ten minute warning! Come on Vixen!" She and Vixen raced down the street avoiding the ponies in their way. They just made it with 30 seconds to spare. "Whew. We made it. Now let's get to Twilight!"

Train storage room

Rain Check headed back into the storage room for more plates and blankets for the passengers. "Why did I end up with this stupid job?" Heard some stomping behind him and turned around to see....

"IT'S ME."
