0400 hours, November 23, 2010

It has only been a few weeks and the teams have made a lot of progress locating key places that might be used as a hideout. Gears and Scootaloo’s relationship has been improving to the pleasure of Spike, who always wanted to help his friend to find love. The Griffon had been given over to princess Twilight and has been able to lend assistance. Scootaloo had been having nightmares ever since the interrogation and gears had been helping her get through them.

“That stallion has been helping you and you still haven’t told him.”

“I know I need to tell him, but I don’t want to hurt him. He has been spending all his free time trying to make me feel better. It will be wrong to just disregard his feelings and leave him heartbroken.” Scootaloo said.

She walked to her friend Gray to ask for some help with this matter. “Hay Gray, you got a minute.” Scootaloo asked the earth pony.

The Stallion in Question walked to Scootaloo to see what she wanted. “What is troubling you, Scootaloo?” Gray asked.

“What isn’t nowadays but what's bothering me the most is Gears liking me not saying his bad I’m just saying tha-” Scootaloo was cut off

“That you don’t know if you feel the same.” Gray said.

"How did you know?" Scootaloo said.

“I can practically smell your confusion from here.” Gray said.

“That obvious hu.” Scootaloo said.

“Look, are you concerned about his well being?” Gray said.

“Yes.” Scootaloo said.

“Then you care you may not be able to tell if you like him the way he does for you, but I mean it when I say you will find out in time.” Gray said.

Gears walked up to Spike and asked him a question “do you think Scootaloo likes me?”

“What?” Spike asked, taken aback by the question.

“do you think Scootaloo likes me?” Gears repeated himself.

“I have no clue, but you give her enough reason to.” Spike said.

“Thanks for the reassurance.” Gears said sarcastically.

“No problem,” Spike said jokingly.

“Ok, but in all seriousness just keep being yourself and you should be fine.” Spike said to him.

“You better be right.” Gears said.

“That's how AJ and I got together.” Spike said.

“Ok, well wish me luck then.” Gears said nervously.

“Hay everyone, I got something.” Daring-do said.

Everyone went to the board to see what Daring found.as they got there; they found a red line connecting to the evidence they have accumulated over the weeks.

“So I found out where Gilda is.” Daring said.

“Where is she!?” Gears said, almost yelling.

“She’s at griffonstone, but you can’t go after her right now,” Daring said.

“Why the fuck not?” That statement angered gears, and it was evident in his voice.

“Hay gears can you calm down, please you can throw a fit later.” Scootaloo said to him, trying to calm down while making fun of him at the same time.

It succeeded he blushed with embarrassment casting everyone to started laughing. He quickly yelled at everyone to focus on the intel that Daring has put together.

“His right everyone, we can laugh at him later.” Spike said.

Scootaloo looking at gears saw that he was looking down. She got closer to him and instead of apologising she said, “you kinda cute when you blush.” This caused Gears to blush even more. She walked away asking herself on why she said that with a blush on her face as well.

“So the scientist that made the gas is still alive. We also believe he knows where the rocket is. Gears, you and your team are going to get the scientist and interrogate him.” Daring informed him.

“Wilco.” Gears said.

As gears got up he felt pressure at the back of his throat before he belched a purple fire came which formed a scroll. They were mixed reactions in the room between surprise on mail coming through fire, and others wonder who it was from. Gears wasted no time and read it. He had an annoyed look on his face. He walked to Spike and showed him the letter spike had the same reaction on his face.

“What is it?” daring asked. Everyone else sharing the settlement.

“Two pieces of information from the princess herself. One involves labs and the other is on a need to know, plus it could be nothing.” Spike said.

What was that, Gears? Scootaloo asked in concern.

“Well, that was Dragon mail. Dragons that learn how to do the spell as send it via fire, but they can also be sent mail too.” Gears explained excitedly .

“What, a dragon, but you look like a pony.” Woodfire said, confused.

“I’m a hybrid.” Gears deadpan.

“Ok that is awesome.” Woodfire said.

“Don’t falter, me.” Gears said with a cocky tone.

“Ego much.” daring-do said.

“Hypocrite.” Scootaloo responded.

“When have I been on an ego trip?” daring question.

“When you write your books.” Scootaloo answer.

“You read them” Daring question.

“To my son, yes.” Scootaloo said.

“Well then, do you want a sign copy for your son.” daring said

“He will love that.” Scootaloo said.

“You two done?” Spike said.

“Come on, we have a job to do.” Gears said.
