Manehatten Mayhem Part 1: The Model and the Designer

One afternoon, Spike was busy dusting some shelves in the library. He was moving some books when, "Discord?" Spike asked, taking notice of the draconequus, lounging in a mini couch, in the shelf. "What the hay are you doing here?"

"Just thought I'd move in," Discord replied. "And feel more at home, with Fluttershy," He gestured, to a nearby photo album, that was opened up to a page where a big picture of Fluttershy was shown. "Oh, Fluttershy, Fluttershy. WHERE ARE YOU MY DEAR SWEET FLUTTERSHY?!!!!!!!!" Discord wailed, while shaking the whole album, despite his miniature size.

Spike couldn't help but sigh in sympathy with the draconequus. Just as the Apple Family were taking it hard on Applejack's absence, and Discord was longing for Fluttershy, the little dragon was taking it the hardest. To him, the girls were more than just his friends. They were his family. The only family he'd ever knew, with him being their best friend, number one assistant, and little brother. Without the girls, the little dragon feels rather aimless.

After climbing down a ladder, and slumping into a couch, Spike stared endlessly at the ceiling, just when Big Mac walked in.

"Howdy," Big Mac greeted nonchalantly.

"Howdy," the boys replied in the same tone.

"How's the apple business?" Spike asked. "Still selling the Zap Apple Jams?"

"Eeyup," Big Mac answered.

"Bucking apples as usual?"

"Eeyup."

"Still making deliveries?"

"Eeyup....and nope."

"What do you mean?" Spike asked.

"Well, there's only one of me, and Granny Smith," Big Mac replied. "Without AJ, we're not making much deliveries than we'd normally do."

"Speaking of who," Spike began. "How are Granny Smith and Apple Bloom? How are they holding up?"

"....They're doing okay, I guess," Big Mac frowned, lowering his head. "Granny Smith's been walking out in the orchards, with Grand Pear. Apple Bloom.....she's just not as spunky as she used to be."

"I don't blame em," Spike replied. "Practically all of Ponyville's miserable without the girls. Scootaloo's not out doing scooter tricks, like she used to. Sweetie Belle's staying with her and Rarity's parents, but even they're just as miserable as her," Spike sighed, "Pinkie Pie's not around to brighten the mood. Fluttershy's not caring for the animals and every pony. It's a sad day for all of us."

"Eeyup."

Discord, who happened to be listening in on the boys' conversation, finally had enough, "I can't take it anymore!" With that, Discord disappeared in a flash of light, before he reappeared with the boys. "We can just spend the rest of our days, lying around here feeling miserable because the girls aren't here! Or we can just go out there, and find them again!"

"And how do we do that?" Spike asked. "We ain't even got a clue on where they are now. They could be anywhere."

"Eeyup."

Before Discord could reply, he suddenly stiffened up, before his whole body waved around.

"Discord?" Spike asked. "You feeling okay?"

"My chaos senses are tingling!" Discord said, before his eyes suddenly turned into radar, and his pupils flashing repeatedly, while emitting a pinging sound. "I'm sensing trouble!"

"Trouble?" Spike looked at Big Mac, who was just as bewildered as the little dragon is. "Trouble where?"

In response, Discord was pulled straight towards the map room, where he was hovering over the friendship map, with his tongue pointing to, "Manehattan marks the spot!" Discord said.

"Then let's go!" Spike declared.

"Whoa, whoa, wait a minute, Spike," Big Mac ushered, holding his hooves up. "Shouldn't we just inform Princess Celestia about this?"

"Oh, right," With that, Spike whips out a scroll, and makes a quick note to the princess, before he sends it away via dragon breath. "Now let's get to Manehattan!"

"Wait!" Big Mac continued. "Why don't we just let the princess take care of this?"

"No way, Big M!" Spike replied. "Princess Celestia and the guards might not make it in time. They've already got their hooves tied with the missing ponies. Besides, if Twilight and the girls were here, they'd just answer the call for help, right away!"

"Ooh, so you're saying, with the girls gone, this is our chance to be the main casts for once!" Discord smiled. "A chance for us to steal the spotlight!"

Spike and Big Mac looked to each other, unsure of how to answer the draconequus, "Well...."

"Then off to Manehattan!" With a snap of his fingers, Discord and the boys disappeared in a flash of light.

Manehattan

In the busy streets of Manehattan, the ponies were simply going about their days, when the boys appeared in a flash of light.

"Whoa, head rush," Spike groaned.

"Eeyup," Big Mac agreed, before both he and the dragon shook the daze off.

"So, where do we go?" Spike asked.

"Let's see," Discord got on the ground, licking the street with his tongue, eyeballs sticking out of their sockets, before he took a whiff with his nose. "This way!" He pointed in one direction. "Hold on, Fluttershy! I'm coming!" With a rev of his feet, Discord was literally gone in a flash.

"Hey! Wait up!" Spike called, as he and Big Mac ran after the draconequus.

Later

In a huge building, a fashion show was taking place, with a variety of beautiful mares, strutting down the runway, showing off the clothes and accessories they were don up in.

"Alright every pony!" the announcer called. "Now it's time for our mane attraction, here she is mares and gentlecolts! The elegant Fleur De Lis!"

With a loud series of whoop, applauses, and cheers, the said unicorn super model stepped on the runway, while showing off the dazzling new dress and accessories she wore.

"Yes, simply fabulous!" the judges all applauded. "Ms. De Lis, certainly knows grace and poise. And that lovely dress simply compliments the magic she brings to this show today!"

"I say both the model, and the designer, have done well!" another judge spoke.

After giving off several more poses, Fleur De Lis heads back to the curtains, where she met up with her partner for the day.

"Wow, you were simply amazing!" Coco smiled.

"Merci, Ms. Pommel," Fleur replied. "And I'd say, this dress you've made is simply, c'est magnifique."

"It was an honor working with you, Ms. De Lis," Pommel blushed.

"Oh, darling," Fleur began. "Just call me, Fleur. We are friends, no?"

Just then, Discord came through the door that lead backstage, with Spike, and Big Mac, following.

"Sacrebleur!" Fleur exclaimed, along with Coco, both mares taken by surprise.

"Discord," Spike panted. "Can you at least try to slow down for us, before you go off, saving Fluttershy?"

"No can do, Spike," Discord replied. "Every seconds count, and the more we waste, the more Fluttershy is missing and in the evil clutches of the goons who kidnapped her!"

"Hey, I want to save Fluttershy too," Spike replied. "But if we're ever going to be any help, finding her and Rarity. Then-"

"I say," Fleur spoke up, as she and Coco walked up to the boys. "You boys know Ms. Rarity?"

"Know her?" Spike asked. "We're actually friends of her!"

"Eeyup," Big Mac added.

"What they said," Discord replied.

"Oh!" Coco exclaimed, as she walked up to Spike. "I remember you! You're their dragon friend!"

"Yep, Spike the Noble Dragon, that's me!" Spike smiled in confirmation. "And these guys are Big Mac, and Discord."

"Howdy," Big Mac greeted.

"Why hello to you, ladies," Discord bowed his head.

"My, my," Fleur commented, looking at the boys in amusement. "Ponyville's quite bigger than when I last visited it, with Fancy Pants. So, what brings you boys to Manehattan?"

"We sensed trouble," Spike answered. "And we came here to make sure every pony is okay."

"Eeyup."

"Actually, we're here for something else," With that, Discord conjured a huge missing poster of Fluttershy, and held it up to Coco, and Fleur. "By chance, have you ladies seen the pegasus in this photo? About yay big, long pink mane and tail, quiet voice?"

"You mean, Fluttershy?" Coco asked.

"Ugh, do I have to spell it out?" Discord asked, irritably. "Where. Is. Fluttershy?"

"Uh....sorry, but I don't see here around here," Coco whimpered.

"Discord!" Spike said harshly, as he pulled the draconequus back, by the tail. "Sorry about him. As you can see, he's very anxious with looking for Fluttershy and the rest of our friends, since they went missing."

Fleur and Coco were shocked, "Oh dear!" Coco gasped. "Rarity and the others too?"

"That's just awful," Fleur spoke.

"Eeyup."

"Tell me about it," Discord rolled his eyes.

"But we're doing whatever we can to find them, and all the other ponies who've gone missing," Spike replied.

"Eeyup."

"Oh, how chivalrous," Fleur said in amusement, before she realized. "Oh wait! I did read the Equestria Daily this morning, saying something about a rescue team of three, foiling the Red Bull Gang, and bring them to justice. You boys wouldn't happen to be those three, would you?

"Eeyup."

"Looks like our reputation precedes us," Discord said to Spike.

Getting back on topic, "Anyway, while we're here," Spike began. "Have you ladies seen anything suspicious, by chance?"

"Yeah, like any suspicious looking character, snooping around? That sort of thing?" Discord asked.

"Well, not that we don't know," Coco replied, with Fleur shaking her head in response.

"Hmm," Discord pondered, stroking his goatee. "But I'm sure there's trouble brewing here. My chaos senses were tingling."

Little did the boys know, trouble is indeed brewing, beneath their noses.

Little did the boys know, trouble is indeed brewing, beneath their noses.

It's be pretty funny if it were literally beneath their noses!

It was Rated-Ponystar's suggestion. It's his solution as to how the boys would fill in the roles as heroes without it being too easy with Discord's magics.

Hmph! You would show sympathy for Discord. But not for Spike and Big Mac as well?

I am greatly disappointed in you.
