It was so far a normal day in the ponies' base, a counter which held a castle playset on top, inside a ordinary room on the second floor of an ordinary house, the only thing extraordinary about this was the said sentient toy sized ponies living in said counter. A pegasus and earth pony were currently hanging out in the cozy room.
"Alright I've taken all my collectible food figures out of the toybox." Pinkie Pie informed Fluttershy showing the pegasus all her collectibles scattered across the floor "What a very diverse collection, it just as beautiful as my prized possessios" she comments pulling out a small box.
"Ohhhh! What is it! Wait no let me guess, my first guess is animal figures, my second guess is flowers and my third is baking supplies!" Fluttershy then opens the box and pulls out a small blue ball with black spots all over it "It's called the Moonball but I like to call it the boing ball."
"Are you sure you should be playing with that, cause by the name I can tell it's really bouncy." the pink pony pointed out empathizes on really.
"Don't worry just don't bounce it to mu-" the butter yellow pony was cut off by a surprisingly loud gasp from the earth pony. "One of my collectibles is missing, it's the butterfly that is actual butter!" She then gave Fluttershy a suspicious look "You stole it didn't you?"
"I wouldn't say stole more like borrow, I thought it would look good in my mane." the pegasus responded taking the butterfly out of her pink mane and handing it to the pony of the same color.
"Well Flutters since you've taken something from me it's only fair I take something from you and it's gonna be your Moonball!" Pinkie declares, Fluttershy sighs and hands the bouncy ball over to the earth pony who then throws it into the toy box.
"Hang on! You still got all your collectibles to play with and I've got nothing!" the pegasus points out "You've taken something away from me and i've taken something away from you, now we're even." the pony counters
"But-" Fluttershy ends up getting cut off by the alarm going off, which signals a problem in the real and bigger world, both ponies quickly make it up to the mission room meeting up with Rainbow Dash and Twilight Sparkle who were already there. "We've got a problem." Twilight Sparkle announced
"Hold on i'm putting it on screen" Fluttershy said walking over to a platform and pressed a lever with her wing, which lowered a screen down, which turned on displaying a orange dragoness having a tea party with some homemade dolls. "More sugar?" She asks one of the dolls, she ends up dropping her tea cup and when she goes to pick it up her teapot disappears off the table and then a fishing hook comes out between the fence, out of the bushes and grabs one of her dolls.
"What the, where did-" the dragoness looks around, under the table and even over the fence and into the bushes finding no trace of her things. "Isn't she a bit old to be having tea parties with dolls" Rainbow asks "You can never be too old for toys and playtime!" Pinkie responds
It then cuts to another creature playing with toys in this case a young griffon playing with Equestrian toy soldiers and cars "The tank!" Fluttershy exclaims as the same fishing hook latches onto the toy tank's treads and takes it into the bushes. "FIRE IN THE HO-tank 51 where did you go?" he asks placing a toy nuke he had found in the sandbox down only for it to disappear.
"If things are being taken one of us definitely has to go investigate." Twilight declares "I hate it when things are rudely taken away." the yellow peagsus remarks
"You know about this kind of thing Flutters?" Rainbow asks "I certainly do!" she responds "Well Fluttershy looks like you're going on the mission!" the other pegasus declares.
"Oh um, let's not jump to conclusions, I'm not sure, I don't really think I can handle this kind of problem." The shy pony replies "Oh come Flutters I know you can do it, in fact if you go on this mission afterwards i'll give you your boing ball back!" Pinkie offers "Well in that case i'm sure, i'm going out!"
"We've got a problem, what should we do?" Fluttershy goes down a slide
"Who's going out there? Who do we choose?" she is then scanned by a contraption the light blinding her a little
We've got a problem to explore! Who's going out there?...Superpony 4!" All the cutie marks light up before her butterfly one starts blinking, a small claw grabs her pod and brings it over to her, she jumps in and the bigger claw behind the cutie screen retracts. The smaller claw brings her pod behind the bigger one, the big one latches onto the pod, the smaller one letting go of it catching her off guard a little, she finds herself staring at a tunnel of blinking circles.
"Good luck Fluttershy!" Pinkie said "Thank you, just get my boing ball ready."
"Are you ready?" Dash asks "Not really sure...but why not."
"Checking that the coast is clear" Twilight informs then deploying a camera out of the counter which scans the room and spots a young changeling and dragon playing with a another castle playset "Ringing doorbell" the unicorn says pressing a button which plays a doorbell sound making the 2 creatures go downstairs "I'll get it! NO i'll get it!" The changeling then griffon say as they rush downstairs
"All clear now" Twilight updates
Part of the counter opens which reveals the outside real world, the large claw attached to the pod retracts as a countdown begins. "5,4,3,2,1 0!" Pinkie presses a red button which launches the pegasus in the real world basically turning her into a swarm of pink butterflies.
"Looking for a place to land" Twilight mutters pressing the lever with her side, which switches through multiple location like a school, public pool, bakery and the outsides of many residents like houses, apartments and even mansion, eventually she finds a house whose surrounding area looked pretty similar to where the dragoness and the griffon got their things taken.
But as Fluttershy was about to land a number one on the house's number was sucked up by a vacuum nozzle leaving behind only the outline.
"Watch out Fluttershy someone or something stole the one of the house's number" the unicorn warned "Don't worry i'll be careful, i'm gonna find that griffon and dragoness."
"Alright so far the dragon's doll and teapot, the griffon's toy tank, nuke and the house's number one was taken, feel like there's a pattern, what is it?" Twilight wondered, as the latter things were displayed on the screen "They're all one thing!" Pinkie answers "Looks like whoever or whatever is taking these things are after the number one." Rainbow concludes
"Fluttershy we have a clue whoever is stealing these things is only interested in ones, if there's only one it'll be taken" the pegasus informs, capped off by a alarm indicating another problem nearby "Got it, i'm gonna go investigate this new problem" The shy pegasus declares heading towards a nearby mall.
Once there she hides behind a water bucket and spots a purple dragon mopping up a hallway with other cleaning supplies like a towel and a bucket full of baking soda and much more, he places the mop back into the bucket, wipes his brow and reaches in his bag.
As he does this a grabber comes out of seemingly nowhere and grabs the handle of the mop and due to where the pegasus was standing combined with the fact that she didn't want to be seen, she couldn't see who or what was taking the cleaning item.
The grabber drags the mop away somehow not tipping over and spilling the bucket or making a sound despite being wet. "What in Frostbite's name?" The cleaner asked looking around then looking inside the water bucket and then the baking soda one.
A few minutes earlier at a jewelry store inside the same mall, one of the employees a yellow hippogriff with a turquoise mane dusts off a pearl, the main display of the store only for a gloved hand to appear behind a pillar and casually grab the large pearl somehow not setting off the pearl alarm.
"What happened to the pearl alarm?" The hippogriff at first asks the end of her question turning into a mutter, scratching her head
Now in the present a white kirin with green accents and red horn was uni cycling in the park not far from the mall only for the same fishing hook that took the creature's toys to grab it by the brakes causing the kirin to face plant into the road "Welp never doing that again" the kirin casually says
Fluttershy are you there?" Rainbow asks
"Yes i'm here" She responds hiding behind a no littering sign "Things are being taken and stolen cause there's only one of them."
"And look I can see who's taking the things!" Fluttershy exclaims, the kirin's unicycle is placed into a bag which ends up revealing a creature which a surprising close resemblance a pony in a black mask with blue lens, purple trench coat and large hat.
"Fluttershy you've gotta stop that mystery creature from taking things!" Rainbow exclaims back "But I don't know how!" the mission pony responds "I've got it since the mystery creature only takes things that come in ones, lets send some magic that stops this." Twilight suggest
"Great idea!" Pinkie declares bouncing over to a button which activates a magic making trampoline "No taking if there's only one, no taking if there's only one." the blue beam of magic fly out of the safe, out of the house and through the sky where Fluttershy picks it up "Alright i'm gonna try to fir it into her mind, no taking if there's only one, no taking if there's only one."
The magic hits the mystery creature in the head which seem to get through to them, cause they walk over to a performance of a light blue changeling juggling 4 balls.
"I don't think we were being specific enough it's going for one of the changeling's juggling balls!" the pegasus watches as the changeling begins another round of juggling but when one of her balls slightly goes out of line, the mystery creature snatches it with their net before sucking it up the vacuum nozzle hidden in its sleeve, the changeling briefly raises an eyebrow before going back to juggling.
"Don't worry even though the creature's still taking things that at least it's just one of them and plus the changeling barely seems to notice, in conclusion she can keep juggling." Pinkie's quote is jinxed when another ball is snatched and sucked up "Uh oh!" Rainbow says worryingly "The mystery creature is now taking things one by one!" Twilight announces
"Didn't think it'll be able to find a loophole in our magic." Fluttershy whispers something she does when scared or nervous. The changeling starts to get nervous when 2 balls remain but once another one is taken away she just gives up ultimatley losing her crowd.
"Where is the mystery creature headed now?" Twilight asks as said creature walks off, Fluttershy squints a little "The mall!" "It's after the jewelry follow it Flutters!" Pinkie ushers, She makes it to the store where she hides behind one of the store's now empty pearl display.
The trench coat thief lays their eyes on a pearl necklace and pulls one bead of it "Well if the creature's gonna take the beads one by one at least it's gonna take them a long time." Twilight starts "Not if they do it very fast!" Fluttershy adds as the mystery creature starts plucking the beads out at a very fast speed.
"I got it since the thief is taking things one at a time how about we make it take something that there's a bunch of that it'll take them too long." Twilight suggests
"Ah hah! How about that box of crushed up diamonds, that's a lot" She then knocks the box over spilling the contents onto the counter.
"Crushed up diamonds!, crushed up diamonds!" Pinkie says bouncing around in the trampoline before sending the magic "Crushed up diamonds!" the pegasus repeats zapping the thief again, the mystery bandit attempts to use a pair of tweezers to grab each grain before getting annoyed and running off.
"They're heading for the cleaner, quick the baking soda!" Twilight orders "Grains of baking soda, grains of baking soda!" Pinkie and then Fluttershy say the bandit struggles a little before heading towards the neighborhood. "Grains of sugar, grains of sand!"
"Grains of sugar!" the pony repeats the creature easily gives up on taking the sugar from the dragoness and the sand from the griffon one grain at a time, it even gets to the point where the bandit starts pinching the tweezers at the air. "The mystery creature heading for the park!" Twilight says, Pinkie sees that displayed on screen is the light blue changeling from earlier now plucking blades of grass as some sort coping mechanism
"Blades of grass!" Pinkie thought and then said
"Lots and lots, blades of grass!" Fluttershy remarks "They'll never be able to take all the blades of grass!" Rainbows says as the trench coat creature attempts one last time to take something one by one before getting angry and running off dropping everything it had taken one by one in a trail from the dragoness doll to the jewelry store's bead necklace.
"HOORAY!" They all say in union "That's sort the mystery creature out" Pinkie commented "Come back now Fluttershy!" Twilight says as the pegasus turns into a swarm of pink butterflies, it flies out of the park through the sky back to the house and finally back into the counter with the castle playset on top.
"0,1,2,3,4,5!"
"Well done Flutters" Pinkie complimented "That mystery creature sure is strange." Fluttershy commented,remarked
"Alright Fluttershy here's your boing ball back." Pinkie promised using a hoof to push the box containing the peagsus' prized possession "Thanks and Pinkie sorry for taking your collectible if there's one thing I learned is that I know how it feels like to get your prized possession taken."
"Awww you're a great friend." Pinkie hugged her only for the moment to be ruined by the ball somehow bouncing out of it's box and around the entire cozy room
"Uh Oh!" Pinkie exclaims "Don't worry i'll catch it!" Fluttershy says only to end up tripping on some of Pinkie's collectibles, the bouncy ball the hits the earth pony in the forehead, both of them start scrambling in attempts to catch the bouncy moon ball.
