Mind Trick
Twilight and her friends were running like never before. Not only because they wanted to protect Applejack’s family, but because the Doozies had invaded Ponyville. They were getting closer to Zecora’s hut. Until they saw a Doozy in front of them, he was looking at Pinkie, like all of the others. Suddenly, everything in the others minds was cut off. They couldn’t feel, couldn’t think, couldn’t see or move. All, except Pinkie Pie, who was looking horrified.
“What did you do to them? You big meanie!” Pinkie said, feeling angry. For some reason, the Doozy didn’t seem to understand her.
“¿Que dices? No te entiendo.”(“What are you saying? I can’t understand you.”)The Doozy said. Of course, Pinkie Pie understood him. Pinkie was a little surprised by this, not only did the Doozies spoke Spanish, they had powers she did even have.
“Oh, ¿Hablas Español? Ugh, dije: Que hiciste con mis amigos?”(“Oh, you talk Spanish? Ugh,I said: What did you do to my friends?”) Pinkie said frustrated. The Doozy laughed a bit before answering.
“Eso es fácil mi querida Pinkie, ellos están en un sueño profundo por unos cuantos minutos. Ahora, no hay que perder el tiempo que nos queda. No estés buscando a tu verdadero amor, de seguro ya lo matamos. Si tú sigues buscando a tu amor, nosotros pararemos con nuestra destrucción. Pero si no, entonces tú y tus amigos no se escaparan de nosotros. Tu escojes Pinkie Pie.” (“That’s easy my dear Pinkie, they’re in a deep sleep for a few minutes. Now, we can’t waste the time we have left. Don’t look for your true love, maybe we already killed him. If you keep looking for your love, we will stop our destruction. But if you don’t, then you and your friends won’t escape from us. Your choice Pinkie Pie.”) Pinkie thought about it.
The more she thought, the better the deal sounded. Just as she was about to agree, she saw the grin. It was the grin that she new anywhere, in any face. The trick grin, she used it when pranking someone. She was sure of her answer, even if she died with her friends. They would at least die trying.
“No, aceptare el trato. Yo se que tú me estas engañando. Así que adiós.” (“ No, I won’t accept your deal. I know your tricking me. So, goodbye.”) Pinkie said. The Doozy looked shocked. He wasn’t expecting her to know. His expression changed to anger.
“Te vas a arrepentir de esto. Me voy a asegurar de que cuando te atrapemos, sufras.”(“You’re going to regret this. I’m going to make sure that when we catch you, you suffer.”)The Doozy said and disappeared.
After this, the others woke up. They all seemed confused and didn’t know what had happened. Pinkie decided not to tell them, they may run away or not try at all.
“Pinkie, w-what happened?” Fluttershy asked. Pinkie wasn’t prepared for this, but she had lie.
“Oh, I’m not sure, but why don’t we get going” Pinkie suggested. For the others, this seemed odd, but they didn’t into the subject again
They ran all the way until they reached Zecora’s hut. Inside there was no Zecora. The ponies started searching everywhere for her. What they did found was Zecora’s body, hurt and injured badly. Something inside of their chest tightened, but they had to let it go. They bowed their heads once and ran outside.
“Come on, everypony we have to go someplace safe. But where to go?” Twilight said. That is until she saw a cave underground a few yards away from her.
“There, let go!” she said. They entered the cave and it was divided in 4 sections, kind of like rooms. She noticed that in Big Mac’s saddlebag there were 4 blankets also. She looked at her friends and they all seemed to observe the inside of the cave.
“Okay, so how do we do this?” Rainbow Dash asked.
“So there are 4 sections, how about you and Applejack share the first section to the left. Me, Rock Candy and Rarity go to the one in the right. Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy can share the one next to Rainbow’s. Big Mac, Applebloom and Granny Smith, you can go to the one in the middle. Sound good?” she said. They all seemed to agreed, with a blushing Rainbow Dash, Applejack and for some reason Fluttershy. They all said their goodbyes and went to get some rest.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rainbow Dash laid a blanket to the ground and motioned Applejack to come. They seemed sad, yet happy to be with each other.
“Do you think we’re going to find Pinkie’s “true” love?” Rainbow asked. Applejack, who was just dozing of answered.
“Ah don’t know. Ah mean, we can search here in Ponyville, but it would risk our lives. We have to stay here until they’re gone, there may be some survivors out there. Maybe one of them will be the lucky stallion.” Applejack said. Rainbow smirked and raised an eyebrow.
“Or mare. You can expect anything from Pinkie Pie.” She said.
“Oh, come on honey, Ah don’t think Pinkie goes that way. Ah mean I never seen her interested in any mares. Ah bet you 20 bits that after this whole mess is over, her love will be a stallion” AJ said. Rainbow Dash took this as a challenge and spat on her hoof. AJ did the same and roughly shaked Rainbow’s hoof.
“Bet, she’s so gonna get a mare.” Rainbow Dash said. Her eyes softened and wrapped AJ in a hug. They cuddled, falling asleep and Applejack said something that sent Rainbow Dash heart racing.
“Ah love ya” Applejack said. Rainbow Dash kissed Applejack’s forehead and sighed lovingly.
“I love you too, AJ”. Soon they fell asleep together, with dreams of a happier place.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile, Pinkie and Fluttershy were having a similar conversation. Pinkie had gotten a blanket and laid it on the ground. Fluttershy was busy making some kind of nest, with tree branches and grass.
“Pinkie, do you think um- no forget it, it’s not important” Fluttershy started to say. Pinkie looked at Fluttershy, she felt bad when Fluttershy looked like this.
“Aww, Fluttershy, you know you can tell me anything right?” Pinkie asked. Fluttershy looked at her and nodded.
“I know. I just wanted to ask, if you think we’re going to find him?” Fluttershy asked. Pinkie stopped hat she was doing and looked at her. She wasn’t sure actually, she never fallen in love with anyone before. The fate of Equestria was in her hooves, she was going to try everything to fall for someone.
“I’m going to try, that for sure. I just don’t know if I can fall in love with somepony so quickly.” Pinkie said.
“Are you okay? You don’t sound like yourself” Fluttershy stated.
“No, I just can’t help but feel guilty for all of this. If I didn’t have the stupid Pinkie sense, this wouldn’t have happened! I don’t think anypony will find me attractive or willing to give me a chance” Pinkie said with tears in her eyes. Fluttershy had never seen her like this. She was always so fun, not giving a flying feather about anything. Now, here she was crying her eyes out in front of her. Fluttershy walked over to her and put a hoof around Pinkie’s shoulder.
“Pinkie, I can’t imagine how you must be feeling. But I know that anypony would be lucky to have you. I wouldn’t hesitate kicking somepony’s flank if they break your heart. You know I wouldn’t do that for anypony other than you and the girls. So that says a lot” Fluttershy said with a grin.
Pinkie looked at her, still with tears, but laughed anyway. She felt better now; Fluttershy had made her confident. She wrapped Fluttershy in a friendly hug and smiled sweetly at her.
“Thanks Fluttershy, I feel much better now. I better hit the hay, I’m tired, goodnight Fluttershy” she said and waved at her. She fell asleep 3 seconds after resting on the blanket. Fluttershy laughed a bit before going to her nest.
“ Goodnight Pinkie Pie” she said with a blush and a smile.
