	A few days later everypony noticed Fluttershy had gone missing. I believed she had found the answer to the case of the missing ponies. I had even made a report about it:


Missing Ponies           Buttercup

Everypony else was invited to Pinkies shop the day they went missing.
If Pinkie Pie invited Fluttershy to her shop. Then, Pinkie Pie just killed Fluttershy . 
We could still catch her and stop her today.

It was kind of a fail because I only got one signature (It was mine). Thats because nopony believed me. When everypony was evacuated inside their homes. I decided to stay out. I hid from the authorities. When they were gone, I fled to all the near houses. 

I spent so many hours going to every door around town with the same answer...... NO. I had almost given up hope on the last door. When I knocked. There was nopony that answered. As I left, I heard the door creak.

"I don't want any girl scout cookies." That colt closed the door. I knocked once more.

"You again? I thought I told you--" He was cut off.

"No. It's not that. It's just... can you help me expose someone."

"Depends... what's in it for me?" He asked.

"Uh... twenty bits is the best I can get you." I offered.

"Not too much... but who am I kidding. I can't find any other way to earn bits. *Sigh* We... have a deal." He shook my hoof. I couldn't help but notice how soft his fur was.

"By the way... I don't think I caught your name." I waited for a response.

"Grovewells. But you can call me Grove. That's what my friends call me. If.. I had any. Anyways, what's your name?"

"It's Buttercup." I stepped off from the porch.

"That's a nice name." He complimented.

"Oh. It's just an ordinary name." I scratched the back of my head.

"Nah. It's special." He started to close the door again.

"I have to go home. And remember. We have a plan tomorrow. See you tomorrow." I ran off.





I shut the door behind me. I just couldn't stop thinking about that colt. Something was off about the way he acts.

They kept laughing for a few minutes. She cried and ran to her room. Come on honey don't be sad.

"Why don't you go by Sugar Cube Corner and get a cupcake. Here are a few bits for you." 

"No way i'm not going there, i'll be the cupcake."
