It was late September and everyone had started back at school. Rarity had given her sister a lift.

"Sweetie Belle, I want you to meet me here after school."

"Ok. Hey Scootaloo, wait up." She nodded before calling to her friend.

Rarity walked into school, greeting students she knew.

A girl stopped to talk to her. She was in the fashionistas club

"I love the scarf," she pointed out.

"Thank you, I wanted to try a different style." Rarity informed her.

The girl then noticed a pink haired girl walk through the entrance. "Look at Fluttershy, back at school. She's missed nearly a month of school work, probably scared to come back as a loner."

Rarity looked in her direction. "That's up to her. She doesn't speak to anyone."

"I thought you two were friends," the girl asked with furrowed brows.

"Some things just change," Rarity shrugged, now noticing Applejack heading towards them. "I'll see you around."

"Hey sugar cube, how was England?"

"Put it this way, darling. Sweetie Belle enjoyed being back home more."

"Why the scarf?"

"Trying something new."

They both started to head to class, when a beep was heard coming from one of their phones. Rarity pulled her phone out of her bag and checked the message.

Hey lovie

You only have one friend left and you haven't told her

What happened back in England, don't worry though your secret is safe with me

xoxo

"You ok?" Apple asked.

Rarity just turned to her friend and smiled as if nothing was wrong.

oOo

"Hey, Pinkie, wait up."

Pinkie Pie stopped and turned. "I thought you would be in class by now."

"I kinda got held up. Have you seen Fluttershy?" Rainbow asked looking around.

"Nope, why would I?"

"Look, I know you two don't get on but you could at least help me out. She should be in one of my classes."

"What do you need?"

"I've lent her my chemistry book notes. I need them back."

"Are you sure you will?"

"She might have fell out with you and Rarity, but I can't ditch her I've known her ever since we were young."

They arrived outside Rainbows first class of the day.

"Meet for lunch."

"Yep."

oOo

It was the end of the school day. Sunset sat on a bench outside the shopping centre.

"I hope you weren't waiting long."

Sunset put her phone away. "Nope, not at all Flutters, I got plenty of games to keep me occupied."

They'd both agreed to split up and meet each other outside. They both needed a few things, but didn't have much time for a slow walk around together. Fluttershy had arranged to have tea at her parent's house and they didn't like it when she wasn't on time.

"Aren't you glad that we took my car, instead of your bike?"

"Well, I didn't realise you needed this much stuff. We're only going away for a week and we have about 6 weeks to prepare."

"This isn't just for the break,"

It didn't take long for them to arrive at their destination. Fluttershy unlocked the door with her key, she tried to go straight for the stairs but her mum caught her.

"Hey, sweetie, you're back just in time. Dinner won't be long."

"We'll be upstairs," Fluttershy tried to manoeuvre around the boxes. Her parents were holding a car boot sale and packed a lot of stuff into boxes ready,

"Make sure your down for 7pm," her mum called.

The shy girl turned around to reply, not noticing the box just ahead. Her bad leg collided with it knocking her off balance nearly and she tried to hold in a scream. She quickly grabbed the part that hurt and Sunset helped her up stairs and out of the way.

"How's your leg?" she asked.

"Painful, my mom didn't notice did she?"

"No, I think she was too preoccupied with dinner."

"Here hop on the bed. I'll check it," Sunset lifted the younger girls skirt up to her knee, checking how her previous injury was doing. "It seems to be healing alright, but we should have taken you to the hospital."

"If you did they would have asked me where I did it, and I can't tell them that." Fluttershy looked at her leg. The swelling had gone down a lot since when she'd first done it. She thought back to when she had done the damage.

"Sunset, my leg, it hurts." Fluttershy cried, trying to stand.

"Can you walk?" Sunset asked concerned.

"No."

"It doesn't look like you've broke it."

"What are we going to do," panic now rising across Rarity's face.

"We've got to call an ambulance," Applejack suggested.

"If we do that they're going ask us why we're here."

"Applejack and I can help Flutters. Rarity you bring the car closer," Sunset ordered. "Take Pinkie and Rainbow with you."

"What about her?" Pinkie asked.

"She'll be fine," Rainbow told the younger girl, manoeuvring her in the direction Rarity was heading.

"Don't leave me here, you fools." The girl cried.

"Fluttershy, Sunset, dinner is ready." Her mum shouted, bringing the shy girl out of her thoughts.

They both headed downstairs when Fluttershy's phone beeped.

Ah poor Fluttershy

How's the leg?

Mommy might not know what happened that summer but I do and I am going to tell

xoxo

Sunset looked at the screen of Fluttershy's phone and noticed the message. She grabbed it out of the girls hand and looked at the caller I.D but it was from an unknown caller.

"How long have you been getting threats like this?"Sunset questioned.

"That is the first one," Flutters informed her.

"The only people who know what happened, is just us six. So who's sending this?"

oOo

Rarity had been working at the clothing boutique for a couple of years now. Her mum knew the owner and had recommended the fashionista to work there. She was now on the verge of selling her own designs there.

"Rarity, you have a letter." Her mum told her, taking a plate of leftovers out of the fridge.

The fashionista opened her letter and screamed with joy. "I've been invited to the new trends road fashion show."

"When is that?"

"This Saturday, I can even take a plus one with me."

"Have you got anyone particular in mind?"

"Actually, I have she would fit in perfectly here."

"Wait did you say it's Saturday?"

"Is that a problem?"

"Can you take your friends car then because I need to take yours in."

"Yeah, I'm going to let her know." Rarity ran past her sister and straight upstairs.

"Is dinner ready?" Sweetie Belle asked.

"It will be," her mum smiled.

oOo

Applejack had done her early morning chores and headed upstairs for a quick shower. Then went to get her sister up.

"Hey, Applebloom, if ya want a lift be ready by 8am." Applejack called through the shut door.

The Texan then sat down to get some breakfast before school, about 30 minutes had past and her sister still hadn't come down, which was unlike her. Applejack went back upstairs and knocked again. No answer, so she opened the door and slowly peaked inside. Realising she wasn't there she went further in.

"Applebloom," she called, walking over to the bed. A note was left on her side table, picking it up she read it.

You should keep a check on who locks your doors at night

you never know who could get in

xoxo

Putting the note down the older girl ran downstairs and called to the others about the news.

"Appleblooms missing," Apple announced.

"How'd ya know she didn't just go to school?" Granny smith told her, not that at all bothered.

"She's never gone to school without me. She's got no transport," Applejack ran outside and saw somebody walking down her drive, realising who it was she ran up to the girl.

"Applebloom, where have ya been?"

"I was just collecting this, someone left it at the bottom of the driveway."

"Why didn't ya tell us?"

"I'm old enough to walk down my own driveway," Applebloom told her in a huff. She then shoved the parcel at her sister. "It's for you anyway."

She took the parcel upstairs and opened it. Inside was a long embroidered skirt, a frilly white shirt, a black and red hat with a heart on the front similar to her style. On the boots were three hearts on the side. A letter was attached.

I'm taking you as my plus one, darling.

Here is your outfit

Signed

R

oOo

Rainbow had gotten up early for her daily jog to keep fit. She ran around her street once and still had time for another lap. She came around to Fluttershy's house and this time she noticed the shy girl was trying to sneak out of her house.

"What are you up to?" she asked herself, hiding behind a nearby bush.

Fluttershy poked her head through the open door and then looked both ways, then fully emerging with a bag. She walked over to the bin and put the bag in fast before heading back in the house and shutting the door.

Rainbow was about to go over when the door opened again, this time a red and blonde haired girl emerged. She wore her signature jacket and pulled her collar up. She turned, whispering something to the shy girl while pointing to what look liked the bin before walking off. The minute Flutters shut the door she was at the bin in a heartbeat.

"It's ok Fluttershy. I'll find out what you're hiding," Rainbow opened the bin lid and grabbed the bag. She then paused and realised what she was doing. "Ahh, Pinkie, get out of my head. Flutters is my friend. I shouldn't should I?" Making her mind up she decided to open the bag, finding something she didn't expect, another tied bag with a note attached to it.

Look at that Fluttershy seems to be hiding something or should I say someone.

I wonder what Sunset was doing there

Xoxo

Rainbow knocked on the girl's door and it didn't take long for someone to answer, her dad stood on the other side.

"Is Fluttershy in?"

"She is," the man told her, his expression never changing.

"Well, I wanted to ask if she wanted a lift to school."

"She's stopping home today. She's not too well."

"Oh ok," Rainbow then left.

oOo

Dinnertime had come around pretty fast and Pinkie got a meal from the cafeteria as they were not allowed to leave the school grounds until they were seniors.

"Hey Rainbow, long time no see." Pinkie greeted.

Rainbow just sat there poking at her food.

"Are you ok?" she asked concerned.

"What? Oh, um, yeah," Rainbow looked at her friend. "I need to tell you something."

"Go on."

"I was doing my morning jog and I noticed Fluttershy," Rainbow started.

"Tell me something I don't know," Pinkie sighed.

"She was with Sunset and they both seemed kind of suspicious, like they were hiding something."

"That doesn't surprise me."

"Wait you knew?"

"Yep, psychic remember."

"Why didn't you say anything?"

"I couldn't you were meant to find out this way."

"Ok, did you know about this?" she took the note out of her pocket and put it on the table. Pinkie Pie now read it.

Look at that Fluttershy seems to be hiding something or should I say someone

I wonder what Sunset was doing there

Xoxo

"Who wrote that and what do they mean?"

"I don't know, but we're going to find out."

Rainbow and Pinkie sat at the table in the cafeteria. Rarity was making arrangements with a certain girl. Applejack was talking to her sister. Fluttershy was booking plane tickets at home, and Sunset was in the library filling in college applications. A girl stood in the distance watching them.

"Ok, so maybe I was with one of the girls when something happened to them. Oops I think I've said too much."
