After a rather lengthy train ride, they arrived in Manehattan just as the sun was setting. "So, where's Marigold's aunt live at?" Wind asked. "She lives in a condo in the Upper West Side." Applespice replied. Wind looked at the orange of the sky as the sun set. "We better hurry, we've almost lost a day." Wind said. "Right." Dashie said as she hailed a taxi. They all got in and Applespice gave the driver the address. They pulled off from the train station and headed towards the Upper West Side of the city. The taxi ride took far too long for Wind's taste. It took roughly about half an hour to arrive at the building that contained Marigold's aunt's condo. After paying the driver, the trio headed into the building. "Okay, so what floor is she on?" Wind asked. "I think it was the fourth floor." Applespice said. He headed to the elevator and pressed the call button. After a few minutes, the elevator dinged and the doors opened. They all boarded and rode up to the fourth floor. "Do you know which condo she's in?" Dash asked. "If I remember correctly, it's number 420." Applespice replied. Wind snickered a little at the condo number. "Okay, so this one here is 400. That means 420 must be down that way somewhere." Dash said as she pointed down the hallway to their left. They proceeded down the hall and found number 420. Applespice knocked and after a few minutes, the door opened. Standing in the doorway was a female unicorn with curled purple and pink streaked hair. She was wearing a bright blue dress. "Sweetie Belle!" Dash said as she embraced the girl in a hug. "Hey, Dashie. Long time no see." Sweetie Belle said as Dash let go of her. Sweetie invited them in and they all took seats in the living room. The place was a mess. Materials and dresses scattered everywhere. 'Organized chaos. Just like her sister.' Dash thought. "So, what brings you guys by?" Sweetie asked as she sat next to Dash on the couch. "Well, we were hoping you could help us with something." Dash replied. "What can I do for you?" Sweetie asked. "Well, we were wondering if there had been any weird things happening lately." Dash said. "Like what?" Sweetie asked. "Just anything out of the ordinary. Anything that doesn't usually happen in the city." Dash replied. "Well, now that you mention it, there was some strange guy that wanted me to make a suit for him." Sweetie said. "Do you remember what he looked like?" Dash asked. "No. He had his face covered by a hood." Sweetie asked. "Can we see the suit he wanted you to make?" Dash asked. "Sure. I just finished it actually." Sweetie said as she got up and headed into the next room. After a few minutes, she returned carrying a blood red suit with the same symbol as the cult on the lapel. "Did he say when he was coming to pick it up?" Dash asked. "Actually, he wanted me to just send it to Appleoosa. He said he'd pick it up there. He even paid in advance." Sweetie said. "Appleoosa, huh? Well, looks like we know where we're headed next." Dash said. "What's going on anyway? When you saw the suit, it looked like you saw a ghost." Sweetie said. "It's a long story." Dash said. "Well, I'll make some coffee and you can tell me all about it." Sweetie said. Dash explained what had happened while they had coffee. After Dash finished, their was a long pause from Sweetie. "I'm so sorry, Dashie." Sweetie said as she hugged her. "It's okay, Sweetie. We at least have a lead now, thanks to you." Dash said. "It was no trouble. But, I must insist that you all stay here for the night. This city is dangerous after dark." Sweetie said. "Agreed." Dash said. "Great. I will get you guys some pillows and blankets." Sweetie said as she went to a closet and pulled out some bed clothes. She passed them around and got everyone settled in. "Everyone comfy?" Sweetie asked. They all nodded. "Excellent. Get some sleep, you guys. In the morning I'll give you all a ride to the train station." Sweetie said as she turned off the lights and headed to her own room.
After a long night of tossing and turning, the sun finally came up, to Dash's relief. She couldn't sleep at all. Without Jet, she felt like a filly without a teddy bear to cuddle at night. Dash sat up and headed towards the bathroom. After using the toilet, she washed her face in the sink and used Sweetie's brush to tame her nappy bed-head. She headed back out into the hallway to see that everyone else was awake and Sweetie was handing out some clothing. "There you are, Dashie. Here, get changed into these." Sweetie said as she threw a set of clothes at Dash. She headed back into the bathroom and changed into the new outfit. It was a pair of jeans, a white tank top, and a cyan zip-up hoodie. Dash exited the bathroom. "You look great." Sweetie said as if reading Dash's mind. "I don't really think this outfit is appropriate for our situation." Dash said. "Don't worry, it may look like a regular casual outfit, but, it's made from the same material that Jet's tux was made from." Sweetie said. Dash smiled and hugged her. "Thanks, Sweetie." Dash said. "It was no trouble, really." Sweetie said. Dash looked over at Wind and Applespice. They both had on pretty much the same thing, but, Wind's hoodie was black. Instead of a hoodie, Applespice had on a dark green jacket. "Alright, everyone good?" Sweetie asked. They all nodded. "Great. Now, let's get you guys to that train." Sweetie said as she grabbed a set of keys from a hook by the door and headed out into the hallway. They all rode the elevator down to the parking garage and quickly found Sweetie's car. They got in and Sweetie headed to the train station. "Now, remember, this guy doesn't know who's delivering the suit. So, best to keep a low profile until you find him. If you need anymore help, you can talk to Applebloom. She's the new mayor of Appleoosa." Sweetie said. "Applebloom's the mayor of Appleoosa?" Dash asked. "Yea, she just recently got the position. She had help from Braeburn." Sweetie replied as she stopped the car in front of the train station. "Good luck, guys." Sweetie said as she pulled off and left them at the platform. They quickly boarded the train and headed towards Appleoosa.
