Chapter 2

Searching for Sweetie Belle

The next day around 1:00 in the afternoon, Neo, Spike and the mane 6 went out to have a picnic in a field. Luckily this time, Rarity remembered to bring the paper plates so she didn't have a panic attack and faint. Spike was feeling better that they were all spending time together and he wasn't being left out. Neo was eating pizza from his automatic foodmaker. The ponies were always so intrigued by his foodmaker machine, they thought technology was awesome. Twilight even called technology magic used by humans.

As the 8 friends hung out with each other, Applejack noticed her little sister Applebloom and her friend Scootaloo about 15 feet away ahead of where they were. They appeared to be looking for somepony. Applejack wanted to know what was going on since they were supposed to be in school.

Applejack went over to Applebloom and Scootaloo and asked them what was going on, they told her that Sweetie Belle was missing and they were out looking for her. Right away, Applejack went back and told her friends what was going on and they all went to the schoolhouse to find out what was going on.

Over at the schoolhouse, all of the fillies and colts were outside the school along with their teacher Miss. Cheerilee. Cheerilee was crying because she was so worried about Sweetie Belle. Neo asked Cheerilee what was going on, the mane 6 and Spike listened as well. Cheerilee was sobbing and she was too upset to tell them what happened.

Then a filly approached Neo and said that she could tell them what happened. The filly had a pale coat and a red mane, she wore glasses and her cutie mark was 2 candy canes in a heart shape. She said her name was Twist and she told them what happened.

Twist said that about 30 minutes ago, the fillies and colts were having recess. Sweetie Belle and Applebloom were playing catch with a rubber ball that was kind of hard, then Sweetie Belle threw the ball really hard. Applebloom missed it and it flew in to the air. Twist was walking by and suddenly, the ball came down and hit Twist directly in the face. Twist cried because she was hurt but luckily her glasses didn't get broken. Sweetie Belle saw what she had done and she was very scared, she saw Twist crying and she was hurt. Sweetie Belle was so scared that she might get in trouble so she ran away.

Twist explained to Neo that it was just an accident but Sweetie Belle had run away and was hiding because she was afraid she was going to get into trouble for hitting Twist. Neo patted Twist on the head and said everything will be okay and they will find Sweetie Belle and she won't be in trouble.

Rarity was very worried, she even cried as well. Sweetie Belle was her little sister and she was responsible for her, but Neo assured Rarity that he and the ponies will find Sweetie Belle. Neo told the mane 6 and the fillies and colts they he will need all their help to find Sweetie Belle. He asked them to look wherever they can and if they find Sweetie Belle, they need to tell her to come home because everypony is looking for her.

And so Neo, Spike, the mane 6 and the fillies and colts went out to search for Sweetie Belle. They searched around various areas of Ponyville. Rarity got very worried every second when nopony could find Sweetie Belle. Rainbow Dash searched for Sweetie Belle from the air and even she couldn't find her, even Neo was having trouble finding her. He rode around Ponyville on his motorcycle looking for Sweetie Belle, there was no doubt in Neo's mind that Sweetie Belle was hiding because she was so afraid of getting into trouble, but Neo knew that they had to find Sweetie Belle before something bad happens to her.

A few minutes later, Applebloom and Scootaloo came over to Neo and said they had found Sweetie Belle. Other fillies and colts came over to them along with the mane 6 and Spike, they were so happy that Sweetie Belle had been found.

Sweetie Belle was crying and very scared of what might happen now.

"Sweetie Belle," said Neo. "What were you doing hiding? Everypony is looking for you, you shouldn't hid from us."

Twist came over to Sweetie Belle and told her that everything was alright, it was just an accident and Sweetie Belle was not in trouble. Twist comforted Sweetie Belle, she still cried a little but she gave Twist a hug and kept apologizing for what she did.

Then Neo picked up Sweetie Belle and said everything would be alright. Neo comforted Sweetie Belle and she started to feel so much better, but Neo told Sweetie Belle that she should never run off and hid from everypony because something bad could happen to her. And even if she does get in trouble, she still has friends and family around her that love her and care about her. Sweetie Belle felt so happy, she snuggled in Neo's arms and the fillies and colts awed at the sweet moment.

Then Rarity and Cheerilee came over, they were so happy that Sweetie Belle had been found. Cheerilee hugged Sweetie Belle and she was so relieved that she had been found and was alright. Rarity cried and hugged Sweetie Belle and said never to run off like that ever again. Then Rarity took Sweetie Belle home and she would have to stay with her for the rest of the day. I hope Sweetie Belle has learned that you can't run from your problems. If you are in trouble, you should come to your friends and family who love you and care about you, then everything will be alright.
