The next few days, Ponyville was in panic. Albany Beauty was last seen by the Apple Family, crying in her bedroom. Another pony mysteriously disappeared yet again by the hooves of an anonymous pony or ponies. With Aceymac and four other children, Ponyville was in a state of depression. The streets were empty, shops were closed, and windows were shut. Doors were never opened to anypony as they were locked tightly.

High up in her clubhouse, Applejack looked out of the window and heard the town dead silent. Normally, even from deep inside the orchard she would hear the bustling noise. The wind softly picked up as the trees bearing luscious red fruit swayed gently with the breeze. From the white fluffy cloud, Celestia's sun shined brightly as Applejack slumped inside her empty clubhouse.

"Where's Mum and Pa'?" Applejack asked herself as her eyes looked down on the floor.

She observed the beautiful texture of the wood as it gracefully went horizontal with each plank. The planks were a bit rough as it wasn't sand-papered much. Applejack sighed as she looked out from her clubhouse and saw Big Macintosh working all the fields on his own. Sweat dripped from his head as his leg struggled to move on by each step.

Each step looked tiring from the next as Applejack watched on.

She really wanted to help him, but Big Macintosh would say 'no' as usual. By getting a bit older, Applejack understood why Big Mac would refuse help. Big Macintosh wanted to at least keep up at the pace of his father so that we could help out the family as much as he could.

Applejack remembered her father's bright face and her mother's beautiful ones. She closed her eyes as she whispered a few words to herself.

"Please come back... Mum and Pa'..." she whispered.

The dark night fell upon Ponyville as well as rest of Equestria. The bright and beautiful moon shined as it was now it's time for the night. As almost all ponies slept with only one eye closed, two figures with dark cloaks from the edge of the Everfree whispered as they overlooked the houses.

"Look, which house is it, kid?" a deep rough voice asked into a bag.

Under the hood, the first figure glared a look into a large brown potato sack.

A little filly that had a grayish blue coat had a large piece of tape stuck to her mouth as the two figures impatiently waited for the filly to point where she lived. Instead, she was trembling in fear as the second figure began to speak.

"Alright... Look... 'Flitter', is it?" the second figure asked, his voice much gentle than the first one.

The filly named Flitter nodded as her cute pink bow that was on her mane followed. Her wings quivered time to time as dirt covered her from days' captive.

"You'll be safe if you point to where you live." the second stallion said gently with a calm tone. "I'm not going to hurt you."

It seemed that Flitter didn't believe it as she cowered inside the bag, earning a sigh from the first stallion.

"Well, they're not speaking shit." he said as he closed the fairly large bag.

"I know man," the second stallion said. "We really need the money and it's only a matter of time before we get caught."

"Caught?" the first stallion asked. "What do you mean we're going to get caught? We're not going to get-"

"And that attitude gets you caught." the second stallion hushed as he cut the first stallion off. "Also, keep your voice low, the last thing we want is to get caught."

The first stallion nodded his head a bit bitterly at his partner, but understood.

"So any response from the other kids?" the second stallion asked.

"Naw, nothing from them, Wax." the first stallion whispered as the two went back into the forest.

Wax then picked up the bag with Flitter in it and joined the second stallion.

"But there's this 'Rarity' bitch. She whines and has the vocabulary of a snobby Canterlot mare." the second stallion said pretty annoyingly. "She argues like a full grown spoiled mare."

Wax kind of looked at his partner with a shocked looked and nodded a bit.

The trees in the Everfree were none like other in existence in all of Equestria. It loomed over the two stallions as very muffled sounds from Flitter came from the bag. The second stallion continued on.

"This is the shit she says; 'What? ME? Whining?!'. " the second stallion said, rudely impersonating this 'Rarity'.

Wax looked at his pal and sadly shook his head.

" 'This is whining!!' " the second stallion said with a very annoying and shrilly voice.

Wax winced at his accomplice's voice and dropped the bag from his mouth.

"Never!!" Wax silently screamed. "DO THAT EVER AGAIN, WANE!!"

"Hey, you dropped her." Wane said, ignoring Wax's outburst, pointing his hoof at it.

"What?" Wax asked.

He then looked down and saw Flitter fumbling in the bag.

"Oh shit!! No!" Wax said as he lifted up the bag for it to be a comfortable position for the filly in the sack.

His hooves opened up the bag to see Flitter starting to tear up with a bump on her head. The sounds from her taped mouth seemed to intensify as Wax was beginning to freak out.

"Shh!" Wax said down into the bag as Wane looked up at the sky.

" 'I'm not going to hurt you.' "Wane said, repeating the words Wax said earlier. "Say, who said that?"

Wax ignored and wanted Flitter not to make much noise.

"Hey, sorry what I did, Flitter!" Wane said as Flitter's eyes began to water even more.

The sounds from her mouth began to get louder as Wane droned on.

"Ah, and what were we going to say on the ransom note?" Wane asked as he looked at his hoof, inspecting it.

Wax continued to hush to keep Flitter quiet as she got louder. Wane on the other hoof, continued to talk.

" 100% give back guaranteed? What are we, merchants?" Wane asked as Wax was doing his best to calm Flitter down.

"Look, we have cookies back in the cave!" Wax said as Flitter's expression of crying seemed to die down.

"What are we now? Pedophiles coaxing little fillies with sweet treats?"

"Shut up, Wane!!" Wax spat towards the droning stallion with an evil glare.

He looked back at Flitter with kind eyes and a soft gentle voice.

"How about that?"

Flitter's body shook even more and cowered down deeper into the bag.

"My, my, you screwed up." Wane commented.

"Shut it." Wax replied.

"Screwed up as in rubber breaking."

"Shut up."

"Like a condom."

"SHUT UP, SHUT UP, SHUT UP, SHUT UP!!!!"

---

About a minute later...

Wax and Wane approached a somewhat large cave as Wane had the bag in his mouth. The cave's gray dull color blended nicely with the forest's depressing atmosphere - a perfect hiding place.

"Say, have you got the names of the other two?" Wax asked towards his partner.

"Gshnn dnnnu." Wane replied.

"Proper language, please." Wax said.

Wane softly placed the bag down and answered the question Wax asked.

"Yeees, nooo." he said, picking up the bag with his mouth again.

Wax's face seemed to turn a bright red as Wane walked deeper into the cave with Flitter, who was still in the bag, carrying it with his mouth. Taking a deep breath, the color resided from his face and walked into the cave. Wane approached a large metal cage and gently placed the bag with Flitter in it.

"Hey Flitter!" a voice came from beside her cage.

A dark gray earth pony colt with a sliver blue mane went up to the bars of his cage and watched Flitter come out of the brown bag. Flitter slowly crawled out with the tape on her mouth as her wings finally stretched. Her face was covered with dirt tainting her coat. A bump also resided on her head.

"Are you alri-"

The colt stopped his words as he saw a large bump on Flitter's head and also her other terrible conditions.

"Hey you morons!!" the colt said, directing his words towards Wax and Wane.

"What, kid?" Wax asked boringly as he had a small paper bag in his hooves.

"What did you do with Flitter?"

"He's Thunderlane." Wane said as he took off his cloak.

Wane had a disgusting gray coat like a dumb rock. He had a stupid black mane that seemed to derp and fall. Wax on the other hoof was a dirty black coat with a horrible gray mane.

"I asked what you did when them, fuckers!!" Thunderlane spat.

Wax and Wane was surprised by the colt's language and stared at him.

"Di-did we teach him a few words that isn't right for his age?" Wax asked with a worried look.

"11/10 for observation dumb shit." Wane said.

Wax glared at Wane as Wane gave his partner a puzzled look.

"What?"

"Anyway..." Wax said, face-hooving himself. "What are the other name of these fillies and colt?"

"Like I said, there's that 'Rarity' bitch." Wane said pointing towards the cage next to Thunderlane.

"Who are you calling such a horrible and offending name?" a very lady like mare's voice asked.

A white unicorn with a purple mane stood close to the bars of her cage as she snorted. Her mane was curved in such a way that it 'hooked' out.

"That's her." Wane said. "I try not to associate with her." he added, whispering towards Wax.

"Okay..." Wax said, looking at the foalnapped fillies and colts.

He looked towards Flitter who was in a pitiful condition and then at an enraged colt and an angry unicorn filly.

"And the last one?" Wax asked.

" 'Cheerilee' I think ." Wane said a bit unsure.

Wax looked over at the fourth cage and saw a cerise earth pony filly lying down on the cage.

"Not really 'cheery'." Wane said. "She's been crying a lot."

"I can tell." Wax said, lifting an eyebrow as he heard the soft cries of the filly. "Also, how did you get their names? They normally don't just give their name to us."

"Oh, I have my ways..." Wane said.

Some days ago...

"Alright!" Wane said, standing over the caged colt and fillies. "I would like to ask of you, your names!" he said happily.

Flitter, Thunderlane, Rarity, and Cheerilee kept their mouths shut and looked towards the ground.

"Allllllrighty then!!" Wane said, stepping out of the area of the cages.

He exited out as he said a few more things.

"Be that way!!"

"Flitter, Rarity, Cheerilee, are you guys okay?" Thunderlane quickly asked as he looked to the three imprisoned fillies.

"My, what a gentlecolt." Rarity said. "And yes, I am quite fine."

"I'm okay." Flitter said as she looked to Thunderlane and then to Rarity.

She then looked to Cheerilee, who was wiping her tears away.

"I'm... okay too..." she whispered.

"AH-HA!!!" Wane was jumping in, interrupting them. "So THOSE are your names!!"

Return to present

Wax then walked over with the paper bag in his mouth and walked over to Flitter's cage.

"I promised!!" Wax said cheerily with the paper bag in his hooves. "Cookies!"

As he was close to the cage, Thunderlane stuck his hooves out in the hope to hit him. His stubby arms were too short and couldn't make a mark.

"Classic chocolate chip!" Wax said as he placed the bag inside the cage, giving a bright smile.

Flitter now managed to get the piece of tape off her mouth and curled up into a ball.

"Well... Enjoy!"

"Just what did you do to her, you fiend?!!" Rarity exclaimed. "I outta rip you from the inside out and mangle your entrails!!"

Wax was greatly taken a back from Rarity's statement and gulped. He tried to ignore it, but he was now close enough for Thunderlane to land a strike. Thunderlane's hooves hit at the joint at one of Wax's legs and collapsed him. The place between his knee buckled as Wax face planted on the hard cave floor.

"Ow!!" Wax groaned out loud as he landed on his snout. "My leg!!"

"DIe!!" Rarity cried out from her as her horn lit up.

Many bits of rock around Wax lifted up and began to attack the stallion on the ground. The rocks varied from sand, pebbles, and decently sized rocks.

The sand went into the eyes of Wax as it blinded him painfully.

"AHH!! MY EYES!!" Wax screamed in pain.

The pebbles came in a wave as the small bits joined in with the pebbles. The pebbles repeatedly attacked Wax's coat as he tried to shield himself using his arms and hooves.

"STOP!! THAT HURTS!!" Wax said as Rarity began to laugh evilly.

"Eat this you monster!!" Rarity said as her magic dropped the rocks from above.

Each rock came down one by one from the air onto Wax's head.

*BONK*

*BINK*

*BONK*

*DONK*

Wane immediately stepped in as he dragged Wax out of the bombardment from Rarity.

"You want a piece of me, you brute!!" Rarity called out.

"I'm going to-" Wax said with blind rage.

He lurched forwards but was knocked down by Wane.

"Hey man, '100% give back guaranteed'." Wane said. "We do need the money."

Wax looked towards Wane with puffed red eyes which had sand in them.

"C'mon, deep breath." Wane said as Wax followed his words.

Wax immediately took a deep breath as he relaxed his body.

"Damn..." Wane said. "You can control your anger pretty well."

"Shut it." Wax said coldy, rubbing the sand out of his eyes. "I just really need the money."

"Really?" Wane asked. "I don't think going to Las Pegaus is a need."

"Hey, I can win more money there and take care of myself."

Wane looked over to Flitter's cage and made a remark.

"Hmm, that reminds me when a manticore penetrated her trainer." Wane said.

"Whaaat?!"

"You know... The scorpian tail."

"Fuck you... I thought you meant that..."

"Meant what?"

"Just do a favor and shut your trap. I even think the fillies and colt don't want to hear your bull."
