Later on in the day, in the pain fields of Equestria Starswirl The Bearded, Private Pansy and Smart Cookie were all walking around, exploring the fields, they had followed the pink beacon from before, having the suspicion that it came from Twilight Sparkle,, but they weren't sure of that, Starswirl groans, loosing sight of where the beam of light came from, as it had now disappeared.
"Any of you know where the beam of pink light came from?" Starswirl asks, but Cookie just shakes her head, having no clue, Pansy thinks to herself and sits down, looking down.
"Nope... Ow... My hooves are soo very tired..." Pansy admits, giving a small whimper, Starswirl sighs and looks over the the tired Pony.
"Fine... But as soon as we are rested up, we shall continue" Starswirl states, before sitting down on the grass, Cookie doing the same, Pansy then nods at this statement.

After a while of waiting, being bored, Private Pansy closes her eyes and looks down, lightly beginning to sing to herself, being very quiet as to not disturb the other two, but they soon notice, Starswirl The Bearded and Smart Cookie looking over to her, tilting there heads.
"What are you doing?" Cookie asks curiously, Pansy's ears suddenly perk up at Cookie commenting on it, soon stopping and shaking her head.
"N-Nothing!!!" Pansy suddenly meeps, her cheeks going bright red in pure embarrassment, Cookie chuckles at this and smiles softly.
"Hey, it sounded nice, I would like to hear more, could boost up morale" Cookie states, Pansy sighs and shyly looks back in deep blush, looking down once again, slowly beginning to sing once again.

As Private Pansy begins singing once again, her nice, soft and elegant voice seem to attract some Birds her way, who fly up to Pansy and softly land on head, Smart Cookie Chuckles at this.
"Ya got a few fellas on your head" Cookie comments, Pansy then stops singing and shifts her eyes up to the Birds, smiling lightly.
"Hey guys..." Pansy whispers quietly, hearing the birds chirp in her ear, Pansy giggles very happily at the chirping and nods cutely.
Wow... Really? That's amazing Mr Bird..." Pansy comments, seeming to be speaking with the chirping Bird, Cookie tilts her head, watching this all.
"Are you talking to the Birds?" Cookie asks, wondering if it was the case, Pansy suddenly turns bright red and looks over to Cookie, gulping.
"Y-Yes... Why... P-Please don't make fun of me..." Pansy admits with a whimper, Cookie just chuckles at this and shakes her head.
"I wont make fun of ya, don't worry... Say, if you can talk to Birds, perhaps you can ask them if they saw a pink light?" Cookie asks, Pansy soon thinks to herself for a small moment, as the Bird begins to tweet into her ear, using its wing to point to a Cave far away.

As the Bird tells Private Pansy where the bright pink beacon came from, Pansy thanks the Bird and looks over at Smart Cookie and Starswirl The Bearded.
"He said the beacon came from that Cave over there" Pansy confirms, pointing over to the Cave with a small and cute smile, Cookie nods, and gets up, before helping Pansy up, Starswirl thin gets up too.
"You sure about this?" Starswirl asks calmly, Pansy nods, and so does Cookie, Starswirl sighs at this, knowing how honest Cookie was.
"Ok then... Lets go" He says, as the trio begins to walk into the distance, in the direction of the Cave, Pansy giggling as the Birds lightly fly off and away from Pansy.
