The Equestrian ponies find themselves in a clearing where ponies were running amok, panicking and screaming.
"What's going on?" Rainbow Dash asked.
"We don't know."
"We weren't here!"
"It's a mystery!"
The Bushbullies quickly hurried the ponies to center of the town.
"Look! The Sunstone is gone!" Charmister yelled pointing to the stand where the gem used to be.
"It's missing!" Wishful yelled in alarm.
"Those fiends!" Charmister chides.
When they reached the middle, they are greeted by a white mare with a pink mane.
"Bushbullies!" The mare greeted. "Please tell me you've seen the sunstone, while on you're travels."
She was accompanied by a Pinkie mare with a pink mane, a purple mare with a blond mane, and gray mare with brown hair.
"No."
"Not at all."
"Sorry."
The Equestrian ponies lined up behind the bushbullies, Pinkie Pie bounced happily over to her friend Pink lookalike and shook he hoof.
"Hi! I'm Pinkie!" She said loudly. "What's your name?"
The Pink pony was taken back by this mare's suddenness but nevertheless smiled at her.
"My name's Honeysuckle. It's very nice to meet you, Pinkie." She politely told the Pink pony.
"I'm Applejack." Applejack introduced herself, She pointed next to her to Rainbow Dash. "This here is Rainbow Dash." Rainbow smirked at them.
"Fastest mare in Equestria." She gloated.
"Equestria?" The purple mare asked. She shared a look with her colleges, then turned back to the ponies across from them. "Where's that?"
"It's a long story." Applejack waved off sheepishly. "Better yet, have any of you seen a blue mare with soft blue and white hair? Cutie Mark of a wand and a moon?" Applejack tried her best to describe what she meant, by pointing to respective point on her.
"I'm afraid we haven't." The yellow coated pony stepped forward. "But I'm afraid we're in the middle of a crisis right now, Our prized possession has just been stolen." She says as she looks up towards the empty spot where the gem was located. She looks back towards the ponies and sees Fluttershy hiding behind Rainbow Dash.
"Oh." The yellow mare said in interest. "And who might you be?"
The bushbully siblings answered before Fluttershy could. "We thought she was you." They said in unison.
"She looks exactly like you."
"Like a twin."
"The exact same."
The mare gave Fluttershy a motherly smile. "May I have your name Ms?"
Fluttershy's friends looked at her, and when she was hesitant Rainbow Dash rolled her eyes and pushed her forward.
"Don't mind her too much, she's just an incredibly shy mare."
Applejack tapped her shy friend on the arm. "M-My name's Fluttershy."
"It's quite alright Ms. Dash. My name is Rosedust." She bowed.
Applejack tapped her shy friend on the arm. "M-My name's Fluttershy."
Rosedust and her friend's smiles brighten at the mare. Despite the situation they were happy to make new friends.
"It's very nice to meet you Fluttershy!" The purple mare greeted. "My name's Forget-Me-Not."
"This is Flutter Valey!" The ponies cheered. The sun brightens around them, giving more light to the beauty around the area.
"Wow." Raionbow Dash said as she looked around.
"This is a mighty fine place, but we really need to find our friend and get on home." Applejack informs them.
"There's nothing out here but dirt AJ" Rainbow Dash whispered, covering the side of her mouth so the ponies in front of her couldn't see her lips."
Applejack quickly shut her friend up with a glare.
"I don't know." Honeysuckle says in suspicion. "these ponies shown up right after the Sunstone was taken. It could be a trick by the witches!"
"I assure you. We know nothing of those witches!" Fluttershy said. Trying to deescalate the situation. "They could have kidnapped out friend!"
"Honeysuckle they aren't like those witches!" Morning Glory defends. "They're ponies like us!"
"How can you be so sure Morning Glory?"
"What's happening?" A light, teal-colored pony with butterfly wings, flies above the two groups, when she lands the Equestrian ponies sees that her cutie mark is five peach blossoms, her hair was a darker shade of her coat color, and she had a light pink bow that matched her eyes. "I come back after that dealing with that rather unpleasant animal, that attacked the young ponies and our precious Sunstone is gone, and there's new ponies."
"Great detective work brainiac." The red bushbully said.
"We're just trying to find out friend." Applejack said.
"Well it doesn't take a brainiac to know who's fault involved," She said wit ha frown. "I'm Peach Blossom! It's very nice to meet you!" She smiled at the guest ponies.
"She reminds me of Twilight!" Pinkie Pie laughed. "She kind of looks like her too! We should bring Twilight and Rarity here with us next time!"
"I don't think we should do that Pinkie." Rainbow Dash said. "That might ruin the plan of her NOT knowing that we came here without her knowledge."
"Oh right." She giggled.
"Maybe we can find a compromise here."
"Applejack it's been so long!" Peach bottom said happily and hugged the orange mare. "I thought you decided to stay with Megan!"
Applejack laughed nervously. "Uh. Sorry to tell ya sugarcube but you've got the wrong AJ." Applejack says, pushing back against the hug. "I'm from an entirely different area farm from whoever this Megan is."
"Oh…" The teal pony somewhat looked down at the information. "Sorry, you just…"
Applejack smiled warmly at the pony. "It's alright. It happens." She lays her hoof on the teal mare's top forearm. "You kind of remind me of a friend of mine Twilight Sparkle." She chuckled. "She's also one of them brainy types."
Peach Bottom brightened at Applejack's kindness. "I'd hope to meet her one day."
Miles away Trixie entered the cave with the evil sisters.
"Momma! We've got a present for you!" The tall one yelled.
"Dear Celestia! madam are you injured?!" Trixie seemingly teleports over to the mother of two and began wiping her face with a rag. When she stopped she flinched at seeing that it was just her face., "Eeeeeueuuughh." She said in disgust as she turned away. "It's a good thing you've gotten children already." She chuckles as she walks around the nasty home.
"What's that supposed to mean?" The offended mother called out.
Trixie turned to the mother with a forced smile. "Trixie meant nothing by it. You're a very… Pretty moth woman."
The two daughters laughed.
"The evil one called mama a moth!"
"She's surely will get on her good side with that compliment!"
Hydia violently waved her hand at her daughters. "Silence, you fools! Why'd you bring one of those pretty precious pitiful ponies to my domain of evil!?"
"She stole the sunstone, Hydia!"
"Yeah, she stole it right from under those stupid ponies' noses!" The tall sister laughed.
"She's not like the others."
"Oh?" Hydia said in interest. She saw that her shortest daughter holding the sunstone in her hands as a offering. She smiles and turns to Trixie. "So, what made you go against your own kind?" She asked in a less hostile tone.
Trixie Dramatically pointed to herself. "The great and powerful Trixie, demands only to be sent home, with that jewel!" She points towards the ugly trio. "Whatever filthy thing you three do outside of that, is. None. Of. Trixie's. Concern." She thrusted her hoof with each word.
"She's so rude!" Hydia laughed. "I'll give this little pony a chance and take her under my wing!"
"Trixie believes your wing is fowl and disgusting," She insulted. "It's unwashed and filthy."
Hydia laughed again at the rude Pony's words, taking them as compliments. "HoHoHo! This one's a kidder!"
Trixie gives the mother of two a strange look, she gave the daughters a hard stare when they joined in on their mother's laughter.
"Stop laughing at this elderly woman's madness and give me the gem!"
They didn't listen to her or just didn't hear her, because they joined together and began doing a jig as they laughed.
"We finally beat those pitiful ponies!" Hydia yelled in celebration.
"They can't stop us now!" Reeke shouted.
"It'll soon be all ours!" Draggle wheezed.
Trixie stared angerly with a pout on her face.
Back with the ponies. While the Flutter Ponies, and Equestrian ponies tried to calm the locals. They've sent out Peach Bottom to guide Rainbow Dash to where Trixie might be held.
They made outside the cave lair and heard Celebrating coming from the inside. Peach bottom signaled for Rainbow Dash to be stay quiet. Rainbow Dash rolled her eyes but did as she was told, as they slowly made their way in.
Back in Equestria Twilight enters the Dining Room with, Shining Armor, Candence, Stardust, and Rarity.
"Have any of you seen the Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, or Applejack?" She asked. "They were doing me a favor earlier now I can't seem to find them."
"Maybe they're out enjoying the wonderful kingdom." Rarity reassured. "It's not every day you get invited to a different kingdom you know." She chuckled into her hoof.
"True. Maybe I'm overthinking this. They'll possibly be back later." Twilight sighed in relief.
"Have you tried the chef's soup Twily?" Shining Armor asked. "It's to die for."
"Honey!" Candence scolded. Her husband just smiled and shrugged as their servants began filing into the room with food.
"I'll take your word for it Shiny." She tells him. "But I can't help but think they might be in trouble."
"What could possibly go wrong here Twilight?" Rarity asks. "I do believe that, our friends aren't exactly MAGNETS of trouble." She opened her arms emphasizing the word 'magnets', before giving it a thought. "Though I do wonder about Pinkie sometimes."
"Yeah, you're right." Twilight giggles. Thinking of her Pink friend.
"We'll find them later if they don't show up for dinner." Candence says.
"Thank you, Candence."
"Now let's talk about that crush!" Candence smiles slyly at her sister-in-law.
"HER WHAT!?" Shining Armor yelled.
The table laughed at their antics, even some of the staff joined in.
