Cloud, Princess Luna and everyone else had been gone for about a week. There hadn't been any news from them, let alone any sign that they were still alive.

I'd been staying in the library, not really doing much of anything. Wait... Why didn't I go with them?! I double facehoofed. Dammit! Why am I such a bucking moron?! I sighed. Oh well, I should go upstairs; Princess Twilight may need help with... I don't know, housekeeping? I stood up from my bed (the cold, hard floor) and went upstairs.

All six Spirits of Harmony were present and seemed to be having some sort of party: Everypony was wearing a party hat, the room was lined with streamers and there were cookies and punch by the door. Princess Twilight and Lady Rainbow seemed to be having an in-depth conversation, but before I could begin eavesdropping, Lady Pinkie fell out of the ceiling and landed in front of me.

"Hi, Sight!" She exclaimed, ramming a party hat onto my head. "We're having a party! Wanna join us?!"

"I would be honoured, Lady Pinkie," I replied, bowing. Lady Pinkie blinked in confusion.

"Um, alrighty then! There's cookies and punch by the door!" She bounced off to Lady Rarity, leaving me in my party hat. I looked back over to Princess Twilight to see that Lady Rainbow was no longer near her. I walked over to her anyway.

"Princess Twilight," I greeted, bowing once again, "is there anything you require me to do?" She rolled her eyes and groaned.

"For goodness sake, not again..." She muttered. "No, Sight Watcher, I don't need any help with-" Her eyes lit up. "Actually, yes, there is something you can do for me."

"Why would she live in this remote part of Equestria except to keep folks from intruding on her privacy?" Asked Princess Twilight.

"I... I don't know, your highness..." I heaved as I dragged myself after her and the other Spirits of Harmony, carrying their luggage on my back. Lady Rainbow wished to visit A.K. Yearling; the author of the Daring Do book series to get her to speed up her writing process.

"We should respec-"

"I think I spotted the house!" Exclaimed Lady Rainbow, soaring down to us from the sky. "We're super close! This way!" We followed her through a thicket of trees to find a very damaged, torn up looking house.

"Oh no... Wat happened?"

"Apparently somepony's intruded on her privacy already..." Lady Rainbow moved quickly to the door and tried knocking, only for the door to fall off of its hinges entirely. The Spirits of Harmony piled through the doorway to see the inside.

Lady Applejack gargled granite as I dragged myself inside. The inside of the house was just as torn up as the outside, maybe even worse. It looks like whoever did this was looking for something... I put the luggage on the floor. I should be careful; the Spirits of Harmony could be in danger here!

"Hmm..." Hmmed Lady Pinkie. "Maybe... Or maybe A.K. Yearling's just a terrible, horrible, unbelievable slob!" She bounced around the room as she spoke. Lady Rarity looked into a cracked mirror.

"I hope A.K. Yearling's alright!" She exclaimed.

"Oh no!" Cried Princess Twilight. "What if something terrible has happened to her?!"

"I know!" Agreed Lady Rainbow. "There might be no more books!" Princess Twilight shot her a glare. "Uh... But of course I'd be worried about her too..."

"What are you all doing here?" Asked a new voice coming from the doorway. I looked to the doorway only to see a figure hidden by shadow.

"A-A. K-K. Yearling...?!" Lady Rainbow grinned. The figure stepped into the light, revealing herself to be the mare in question. She was wearing a cloak, a hat and an overly large pair of glasses.

"We didn't do this!" Cried Princess Twilight. "We swear!" A.K. Yearling quickly walked into the house.

"What did you do to my house?!" She asked, blatantly ignoring what the Princess said.

Lady Applejack began demonstrating the mating call of a giraffe before A.K. Yearling pulled a rug out from under her, cutting her off. She was about to run towards Lady Rainbow until I grabbed her and stopped her.

"You are in the presence of the Spirits of Harmony!" I shouted. "I demand you to treat them with the respect they- Argh!" A.K. Yearling sucker-punched me in the face and followed it up by knocking my legs out from under me, causing me to fall. I stood back up to see her open a glowing book. The inside was hollow and contained a strange gold ring of some kind. She sighed in relief.

"It's safe..." She muttered to herself, storing it in her cloak. I stormed towards her, but, before I could reach her, I was pulled outside by Princess Twilight's magic.

"Watcher!" She exclaimed angrily as the other Spirits of Harmony followed us out. "It doesn't matter who we are, we should be treating her with respect in her own home! If she wants us to leave, we should respect her wishes! Understood?!"

"Yes ma'am..." I replied looking to the floor. Why am I always such a failure as a guard...?

"You should tell that to those guys!" Said Lady Pinkie, pointing to the roof of the building. We all looked where she was pointing to see three Earth Pony stallions climbing in through an upper window.

Princess Twilight, Lady Rainbow and I rushed to a nearby window and looked inside to see that they'd surrounded A.K. Yearling. Before they could do anything, A.K. Yearling threw her clothing at them to reveal...

"A.K. Yearling is Daring Do!" Cried Princess Twilight and Lady Rainbow.

Author's Notes:

Will Watcher... Uh... Get the luggage back?
Probably!
Find out for sure next time!
