My Little Pony (MLP) Roleplay

"Thank you, all of you. Good luck."

"Where should we start, Twilight-hime?"

"The clouds are converging at Cloudsdale, so we'll go there first. Or, at least, that's what the Changeling wants us to do. It all seems too... convenient. I think we should search away from any towns. We'll start with the Everfree Forest."

"Sounds like a plan."

*The group returns to the Everfree Forest*

"We should split up into pairs and search the entire forest. Rainbow-chan and Flutter-chan, fly around the perimeter and look for anypony exiting the forest. Twilight-hime and Luna-chan, look for any signs of a camp from the sky. The rest of us will search from the ground."

"Good plan, Gin. If the Changeling is in the forest, we'll definitely find it!"

*Twilight and Lunaria fly away*

*Rainbow doesn't leave immediately. She flies down to Gin*

"Hey, Gin. You sure are acting... 'friendly' towards Twilight."

"Pardon me? I am not sure what you are talking about."

"Don't think I haven't noticed the looks you're giving her. You totally like Twilight, don't you?"

*Gin blushes a bit and begins to panic, but composes himself*

"You are mistaken, Rainbow-chan. I simply admire Twilight-hime. She is an oujo, after all. It is only natural to admire those in high standing."

"Keep telling yourself that, Gin. Maybe it'll come true."

*Dashie whispers in Gin's ear*

"But, between you and me, I think you'd be a great match for Twilight."

*She leaps up and flies off*

"C'mon, Fluttershy! We've got a Changeling to find!"

*Gin's entire face turns red. He sweats a bit, takes a few deep breaths, and composes himself again. He clears his throat*

"Okay, um... The rest of us will search the ground in pairs. Red-kun and Blue-chan, head to the north. Sine-kun and Pinkie-chan, go to the ruins. Apple-chan and Rari-chan, go east. Rhindani and I will look to the west. Now, go!"

*The group separates and begins searching the forest*

*Pinkie is gleefully hopping next to Sine, talking a mile a minute*

"That Gin guy talks kinda funny. I've never heard an accent like his before! And why can't he say ponies' names right? My name's Pinkie Pie, not Pinkie-chan! Anyways, he looked super embarrassed when Rainbow Dash whispered to him. What do you think she said? Ooh, I bet she was telling him that he and Twilight would make a great couple! I think so, too! What about you, Sine?"

"I would think that might be true."

"I knew it! We should totally tell Twilight that Gin likes her!"

*Pinkie suddenly stops and dives into a bush, pulling Sine along with her. She begins whispering*

"I think I saw somepony! I'm gonna take a peek."

*She pokes her head out of the bush, gasps, and dives back in*

"There's definitely somepony out there! I can't tell who it is, though! What should we do?!"

"We should observe some more."

*Pinkie carefully pokes her head out of the bush again. She remains there for a while, then dives back in*

"It's no good. I can't see who it is. They're just standing there, though. Wait! Did you hear that?"

*Pinkie takes another peek*

"They're coming this way!"

*Pinkie dives into the bush again and covers Sine's mouth with one hoof and her own with her other. Hoof-steps are heard approaching the bush. They stop very close to the bush. Pinkie glances at Sine, obviously scared*

*Zecora parts the bush, revealing Pinkie and Sine*

"Hmm?"

*She looks closely through the darkness and recognizes the two*

"Ah! Sine and Pinkie! What are you hiding from?
It will be safer at my hut. Young ones, please come."

*She gestures for the two to follow her as she walks down the path*

"Sorry, Zecora! We don't have time! We've got to find a Changeling disguised as Twilight! It looks just like Twilight, but it's not wearing a crown! Have you seen it?"

"A Changeling, you say? I have not seen one here."

*There is a loud noise from the forest*

"Dear me! What cacophonous noise do I hear?!"

*Zecora looks in the direction of the noise*

"My hut! What is happening? We must hurry!
It may be the Changeling. We will just have to see!"

*She runs off toward her hut*

"We'd better follow her, Sine!"

*Pinkie grabs Sine and runs after Zecora*

*Zecora reaches her hut. The door is wide open, and crashing noises are heard from inside*

"Intruder! Come out here and show yourself,
or I will go in there and find you myself!"

*A blurred shape flies out of the hut and into the sky, knocking down Zecora as it flies. Pinkie runs over to Zecora and helps her up*

"Wowie! That thing was super-fast! Are you all right, Zecora?"

"I am unharmed, but my home is a mess!
Go follow that creature, while I clean my address."

*Zecora heads into her house and closes the door*

*Meanwhile, in the sky above the forest, Lunaria and Twilight are searching for the Changeling*

"Find anything yet, Twilight?"

"Not a thing. Let's try flying a bit lower."

*Twilight begins to descend just above the treetops, when a blurred shape shoots out from the forest, nearly colliding with her. She loses her balance*

"Whoa!"

*She catches herself and looks toward the shape*

"What in the world was that?!"
