There is an expression among cows and to a lesser extent ponies that a difficult task is "like trying to find a needle in a haystack". This always struck Sweetie as silly phrase, because if one kept one's needles properly protected with a homing spell, they wouldn't get lost. Sweetie failed to consider that most ponies probably did not have professional seamstresses for big sisters, and thus would not consider this common knowledge. Nonetheless, Sweetie reversed the metaphor. If finding a needle in a haystack was like becoming an alicorn princess, surely it was possible. After all, 20% of her sister's closest friends had become alicorn princesses. So Sweetie figured she had at least a 20% chance of finding a needle if she dove into a random haystack. For finding her own missing items, the odds were probably higher, considering how much more bright pink socks would stand out. So, having trotted over to Sweet Apple Acres, Sweetie again donned her SCUBA gear and dove into the first haystack she found. Unfortunately, all she found inside were spiders and some moldy hay at the bottom. No pink socks. At least she could tip off the health inspector about the hay.
Princess Luna stole my socks, perhaps she stole yours as well?
5201741 Don't you hate it when the Princess of the Night gets all grabby with your stuff?
5201763 oh totally, especially when she does it because i told her i wouldn't make her a death ray.
5201853 can you make a death ray?
5201883 if i had the resources. still waiting on the reply from celestia about getting the funds for it.
5201958 I suspect you'll be waiting a while. You would probably have better luck bugging Discord.
5201960 Discord doesn't have power over the equestrian military research and development department. Plus it'll probably get me fired. He makes fantastic tea though, i'll have to send you some.
The club is where she should look. Russia possibly as well.

But seriously, while in fanfic, we like to say that Prench ponies like In Prance, in the show, when Apple Bloom starts speaking French while she has the cutie pox, they refer to it as such.
5204678 I know, but he said french. I said nothing about the prench.
Yay spiders! Especially wolf spiders in hay stacks.
5205570 Whoever made that has too much time on their hands.

Canada. Sweetie Belle should go to Canada in attempt to find her socks.
5207058 more like CaNEIGHda, Amirite?
Straw tastes even blander than hay
