Pinkie had to go on another trip for someponies birthday party in the Crystal Empire and she told me to sit this one out. I was bummed out, but at least I could read at Twilight's castle. Whoa... I just said I wanted to 'read' at the castle while I am waiting for Pinkie? I think I am changing slowly... Thanks Frank... Anyway I made my way to the castle to hear all sorts racket inside.

"JAYDEN'S BEEN WHAT?!" Frank shouted.

As I opened the door; I was teleported in front of Frank and I look to my left Aston, Ryan, Logan were in the middle of doing something. Aston was crushing apples with his bare hands, Ryan was sewing a new piece of clothing for a dress, and Logan was in his pajamas half asleep. I turn my attention to Frank and he pointed to a map.

"I teleported you all here today to inform you that the Griffon Empire has kidnapped Jayden." Frank informed.

"Wait. Our Jayden has been kidnapped by the Griffons? What do they want with him?" I asked.

"That I don't know, but from the information I got from Luna his energy is being depleted and if this is true, he might die in three days."

Logan yawned, "Alright I am ready to go, but I need to get my stuff."

"Wow. You are not going to let me explain where were going?" Frank asked raising an eye brow.

Aston sighed, "Go ahead and tell us so we can get our stuff."

Frank pointed to the map that was behind him, "This is the Griffon Empire and from what Celestia told me, there is a diameter of 200 miles of anti-magic. Our magic will be useless unless we get the power source and destroy it. We then save Jayden from the clutches of the King and head back to Equestria."

Ryan raised his hand, "I think I am going to pass." He said.

"Why is that Ryan?" Frank asked.

He lowered his hand, "Rarity set me up with clothing assignments and they're due in about a week. I am crunching for time, could you teleport me back?" He explained.

Frank sighed, "You can go back home, Ryan." he snapped his fingers and Ryan was gone, but he continued, "Anybody else?"

'At least he has an excuse.' I thought. I really want to save my friend, but looking at the map, I think I'm going to pass on this as well. I had to think of a good excuse for staying here at Ponyville. Then it came to me; Cheerilee came to me this morning for my fruity surprise muffin and told me that she was having issues putting together a play. It might be a long shot, but I think I can wing it.

"Frank, I remember I have to help Pinkie when she comes back and I am going to help out Cheerilee for a play." I said.

Frank tapped his chin, "Alright, but are you sure?"

I nodded, "Just don't teleport me; I just need a walk, but first, let me look at the map."

Frank handed me a copy of a handheld map of the Griffon Empire and the whole land looked like a skull. The Empire was on the eye and it was marked by the radius and diameter. While I looked at this Frank snapped his fingers repeatedly to get the stuff that Aston and Logan wanted for the trip. Aston and Logan wrote letters to their partners and I was just smiling. I knew the right song that I could sing for this moment.

-Music (Green is Frank)-

Oh, how I envy you
Not everyone has the chance
To face the unspeakable terrors
Of the great unknown

Today's the day
In only a matter of moments
You'll all be on your way
What lurks around the corner
Not a soul can say
But I can guess
More or less
Hidden dangers
Great duress
Ah, the moments of glory
Is close at hand
It's gonna be grand

Adventure is a wonderful thing
Pack only the essential
I'll tell you what to bring
Your strength
Your nerve
Your hearts
Your wits
And for skullosaurus attacks
First aid kits

Adventure is a hoot and a half
You'll face unearthly dangers
And look at them and laugh
The claws
The teeth
The chase
The thrill
You'll never want to come home
Maybe you never will

That's the beauty of adventure
It's strictly sink or float
It runs you 'til you're ragged
Then it grabs you by the throat
You struggle to survive it
Though the chances are remote
Hoo, hoo, lucky you
Wish I was coming too
Adventure is a wonderful thing

I almost forgot the very best part
You not only get to save your friend
From the most dangerous place
Namely Skull
But from the most dangerous part
Of the most dangerous place
The eye of the skull itself

Oh, bother

And you
General Frank
Off you go
Marching high and low
Your friend
Waits at the end
Right here
Take a look
The map is perfectly clear
With your excellent sense of direction
You've nothing to fear

Through the quicksand and the chasms
Tempting fate
And fighting spasms
Dodging avalanching boulders
Remember, Jayden's fate
Rests completely on your shoulders Frank

Excuse me Connor?

It's up to you

That's the beauty of adventure
The trembling and the dread
Oh I can't think of another thing
I'd rather do instead

Perhaps you could join us?

No, no, you go ahead

Hoo, hoo, lucky you
Tally ho, and toodle ooh
Ready now, noble chin
Chest out, tummy in
Make a fracas, have a fling
Drop a postcard, give a ring
Get the lead out, time to swing
Whoop dee doo, and badda bing
Adventure, is a wonderful thing

I salute you
And those of you doomed to never return
I salute you twice

All three of them showed their middle finger towards me as they ran to catch the next train. When the train was gone over the horizon I smiled, 'Go and bring Jayden back you guys.' I thought.

When I closed up the hole that was the trap door Twilight was behind me to which I jumped. When I looked she had a grocery bag on her back and was very confused as to why there is a hole in her castle.

"Why is there a hole in the side of the castle?" She asked.

"It's a trap door?" I said sheepishly.

She tilted her head, "Where did you find a trap door on this castle?" She asked.

"I don't know... I was singing Adventure is a wonderful thing and I found a lever to get Frank, Aston and Logan on their way to save Jayden." I said.

"Oh... Why didn't you just tell me silly." Twilight smiled, but frowned and her eyes widened.

"WAIT WHAT?!" She shouted.

"Uh... Jayden got captured by the Griffon Empire and the three of them are going to save him?" I said shrugging.

Twilight sighed in defeat, "It's a good thing I am busy with the town committee and Canterlot committee other wise I would of tracked him down." She smiled.

I slowly walked away, "I need to go and visit Cheerilee for a play idea... See you around Twilight." I waved.

Twilight went inside and I made my way towards the school, but when I got half way there, I heard an 'UH!' explosion from the distance. 'Yep, she is angry... Frank you're going to get it.' I thought.

Going to the school house was actually quite peaceful as in I didn't run into anypony walking to it. The fillies and colts were playing in the playground and Miss Cheerilee was watching them like a hawk. I went through the entrance and walked towards the only teacher who taught in this small town.

"Hello." Was all I could say to her.

She turned to me and smiled, "Ah! Connor! Are you here to teach the class a lesson about your world?"

A tilted my head, "Uh.. No, but I heard you need an idea for a play."

She nodded her head, "Yes, I didn't want to have the same play from last year because nopony was interested excepted for the parents."

"Well I have an idea for a play if you would like to hear it."

"I'm all ears" She looks to the children and frowns, "They're at it again."

I look to her direction to see that the Cutie Mark Crusaders were arguing with Silver Spoon and Diamond Tiara. Cheerilee was about to go to them, but I stopped her.

"I got this." I said walking towards the argument.

I brought out my pure British accent as a police officer and spoke to the surrounding audience, "What's this then? Move along, move along there's nothing to see here."

There were some smiles in the crowd and they got back to do there activities with the playground equipment. I turned to Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo, Apple Bloom, Diamond Tiara, and Silver Spoon. The last two sat there smiling at me pretending to have a halo on top of their head; while the other three didn't look impressed with them. I raised and eyebrow and sighed.

"What's going on here?" I asked.

Diamond Tiara spoke, "We wanted to play with them, but they didn't want to."

I turn to the Crusaders, "Apple Bloom?"

"They were annoying us about not getting our cutie marks." She crossed her hooves.

"No we're not!" Silver Spoon protested.

"Ah!" I said raising both hands, "No arguing."

There was silence between them both and I sighed, "What I want you five to do is to go your separate ways and if this happens again, Miss Cheerilee will do something about it. Do I make myself clear?"

"Yes Sir." They said in unison.

Like I said, they walked from each other. The CMC made their way to the jungle gym and the other two went towards the swing set. I sighed with relief and headed back to Miss Cheerilee who was impressed.

"That was very kind you stepping in like that. Thank you." She said.

"It's no problem, anyway let's get back to the conversation before." I scratched my head.

"Alright. What do you have in mind?" She asked.

I tapped my chin and smiled, "How about Winnie the Pooh?"

After the first day of prepping every filly and colt into their costume I was happy that Cheerilee accepted the idea. At first she was confused why it was called that, but when I explained that is was about some stuffed animals in this magical book and their characters have adventures together and learn some valuable lessons. She said that it was different, but she would accept it if everypony in the class would be up for it. In other words I had to do a presentation about the whole story and what it was about. It went well for the most part and the majority of the class were up for it. Everypony except a certain pair who disliked the whole story. I decided to make them a woozle and a heffalump character who scare the other main characters away. Rumble is Pooh Bear, Apple Bloom is Rabbit, Scootaloo is Tigger, Sweetie Belle is Piglet, Featherweight is Eeyore, Babs Seed (Who was visiting for a week) is Kanga, Twist is Roo, Button Mash is Owl and I played as Christopher Robin. Filers and ad's were up around town with the title 'Winnie the Pooh's Most Grand Adventure: The search for Christopher Robin' and everypony were getting interested into this play.

Pinkie, who returned early from the party, spread around the news of me making the idea for the play. This also increased our baking business and people grabbed more tickets. Even though this was going to be a one time play, someponies are interested to see something that wasn't in this world to begin with. I was surprised myself that this story wan't ponified at any sort.

At night time, the same day, every colt and filly were excited about this, but some were nervous. I gave them some pointers and if they got stuck on a line, they can improvise until they can remember the line. With the ego boost in their bodies they were ready for the show. I looked at the audience behind the curtain and saw it was a full house. I look behind me to see that Cheerilee was there smiling.

"Thank you so much for helping. Especially with the music." She said.

I look to Vinyl Scratch who saluted to me and I saluted back, "I'm just glad that you accepted my idea in the first place."

"I'll go to the both and narrator the play for the beginning." She explained.

I nodded, "I'll get into position."

Once I got to position, the curtains open and the lights turn on over head. Miss Cheerilee steps forward and speaks the beginning lines, "Once upon the last day of a golden summer...."

The play was a huge success and even though it was a bit, abridged when adding the woozle and heffalump into the mix, but besides that it was almost accurate to the movie. Pinkie congratulated me with a cake and Cheerilee thanked me once again for the idea. She also mentioned if I or any of my friends had any play ideas for next year's play she would be open to the ideas. The only reason I had this idea is because I was thinking of how Jayden was doing. I did this play just for him and he wont be here to see it, but I have it all in my mind to tell him about it.

Pinkie told me everypony showed up except for Twilight and told me that she was upset. I headed to Twilight to see if she was alright and Pinkie headed back to Sugarcube corner. I made my way through Ponyville at night as I looked upon the stars and moon that glistened like diamonds. Looking in front of me, I was at Twilight's with the trap door still open with a yellow tape around is saying 'Off limits.'

I knocked on the door and Spike opened the door, "Hey Spike. I heard from Pinkie and I wanted to give her my fruity muffin surprise."

I gave him a bag of the muffins and he spoke, "Thanks. Twilight's upset because Frank left so sudden."

"He is still contacting her right?"

"He did until he said he wont be able to due to the anti-magic field."

"So she understood and is still upset?"

He shrugged, "I guess."

"Did you see the play?"

"Yeah I did and it was pretty cool."

"Thanks for that. Anyway I got to get back to Pinkie."

I walked away, but noticed somepony else in there with him. I couldn't catch it with my eyes but there was definitely a filly in there with him. I wasn't the type of guy who snoop on other people or ponies in this case, but ever since the estrus incident, I was getting more and more curious. I shrugged it off and headed back to the Sugarcube corner.

Author's Notes:

Connor, and Ryan's chapters are going to be a little short because of the rescue of Jayden at the Empire is going to take a whole lot of time to write. The brainstorming is real and when I finish Ryan's chapter... The brainstorm will be released. For now here and the next chapter will be filler, but related to the arc.
