Chapter Three:
"Oh, no, oh, no, oh, no! What do we do know!?" Twilight panicked.
"Maybe we should…"
"I mean, there must be TONS of white pegasi here!"
"Maybe we…"
"I mean, all that research we gathered is basically useless now!"
"Twi-…"
"What are we going to do now!?"
"TWILIGHT!" Spike shouted to get her attention.
"What? No need to shout, Spike."
After smacking himself in the head, he gathered what was left of his sanity and regained his composure and said, "There's one way we could find S.S."
"And what would that be?" Twilight wondered thinking that it would be something stupid.
Spike turned around towards the crowd of ponies and…. "HEY! DID ANYPONY LOOSE A JOURNAL WITH THE INITAIALS S.S.?!"
The crowd mumbled to each other looking odd.
"I guess not…" Spike shrugged.
"So, S.S. isn't here."
"Well, let's look at the book." Spike opened up the journal and flipped through.
"Hay, look at that!" Twilight declared.
"What?"
"S.S. wrote, I'm not so much of a party girl."
"Girl? So, she's a filly!"
"Yes, and it continues, I'd rather be singing to myself in the field at the park, then partying."
"So…"
"Let's go to the field." Twilight bumped Spike up on her back and rode off.
"It's not like S.S. is here, Twilight. There are other things to do in Ponyville.
"I don't know, Spike. I feel like—like-she's gotta be here."
They searched high and low, up and down. They looked in every corner of the field, but they couldn't find S.S.
"See? I knew she wasn't here." Spike lifted his chin and basically patted himself in the back.
"I guess you're right…" Twilight sighed.
"Ahhh-ahh-ahh-ahh-aahhhhh!" a voice echoed through the park.
"What?"
"That must be her!" Twilight jumped into action and Spike followed.
"Wait up!" Spike shouted from behind.
Twilight knew. She knew it in her gut that she was going to finally find S.S. And there right before her was a white pegasus with white, black, and gray hair.
"Excuse me. I don't mean to disturb your singing and it sounded beautiful, by the way, but I was wondering if this was yours." Twilight showed the pegasus the journal.
The pegasus just stared in wonder with no words to say.
"I'm sorry, but Spike and I read some of it only to find you." Twilight stated.
"That's okay. Thanks for returning it. I thought I'd lost it forever." The pegasus replied.
"I'm Twilight. What's your name?"
"I'm Scales, but my full name is Scale Sharps."
"So, that explains the 'S.S.' thing." Spike said.
"Whoa, your pet can talk?" Scales was surprised.
"I am NOT a pet…I am a loyal companion." Spike stood up for himself.
Scales and Twilight started to giggle.
"Sorry." Scales said after calming down.
"That's okay." Spike smiled.
"So, where did my journal lead you?" Scales asked wanting to hear about their day as they walked off.
"Well…." Twilight began.
"We've been all over the place! We went to the market, sugarcube corner, and…" Spike went on and on about their adventure. Scales enjoyed listening. And from that day, those three weren't the same again.
The End…of the Beginning.
