@@Fox801, @, The stallion had followed the group of ponies. It wasn't long before Dogboots had seen Twilight again. In a way the alicorn princess was a more tolerable version of Celestia but she was still naive and didn't know how to run a Kingdom. Still, she was his only hope to get his positive emotions back. "Hey Twilight," He said acknowledging the alicorn.

@@Moonlight Fire,@, @@Gray_Spectrum, Dogboots soon lost track of Moon, but he kept trekking on. The ash cloud made it difficult for the stallion to even know where he was going. It wasn't until he took cover into an alley did he run into a large diamond dog standing in front of him. "You don't want to be he-" The dog was soon interrupted by the earth pony smashing his head into the brick wall. Dogboots soon picked up a small communicator from the collapsed diamond dog. "This could be handy," He thought now. He soon saw Sweetie's glow and there was Moon, Gray and Crimson. Yet something seemed wrong...

@, Applejack "Don't worry, let's get going!" She said entering the train with Dogboots trailing behind. AJ soon placed her luggage on the shelf above her seat and then sat down. Dogboots The stallion didn't really pack anything, he was still unsure why he was going to Canterlot in the first place but soon remembered that he needed his emotions back. The positive one's at least.

@@Moonlight Fire,@@Gray_Spectrum, Dogboots decided to take the initiative and began trotting towards Sweetie's location. With each step the feeling in his gut kept getting worse and worse, but still he decided to keep going. It was odd to him that Sweetie wasn't at her shop, even more odd was that her gems were missing from said shop.

@, "Twilight. Haven't seen her in a while..." He said reflecting on his brief past with her. She was alright in his book but she still had a lot to learn about being an authority figure in Equestria. She had the strongest magic that could rival that of Star Swirl The Bearded.

@, @, Dogboots "Sorry Fluttershy, I have no need to pack so we can leave now," He said getting up from the couch. His balance was a little bit better but it took a lot of effort for him to walk properly. Applejack Applejack was waiting at the train station for Pinkie and Fluttershy to arrive. She began to think back on how she had met the stallion. It was almost a month ago since they had met. The earth pony had approached during a Farmer's Market and he was looking to start up his own business. Unbeknownst to the mare, Dogboots was actually quite business savvy and made an offer. In exchange for using some Sweet Apple Acres supplies, the stallion would give them 50% of the profits. It wasn't a bad deal and over time it worked quite well. Eventually it felt like Dogboots was one of the Apple Family. A hard working stallion out to make a living it was something to be respected.

@, Dogboots began to relax a bit but soon felt a little guilty for destroying a part of fluttershy's home which she didn't even deserve. "It seems my negative emotions still remain, depending on what happens next it could either be good or bad," He said to himself after Pinkie had left the room.

@@Moonlight Fire, @[member"Gray_Spectrum'], "Lead the way, cap," He said before realizing that he addressed Gray formally as a Captain. Dogboots soon just shrugged it off as it didn't seem to be a big deal. Gray called Moon, "Moony" so it wasn't exactly the same thing. The earth pony turned around to see that Moon had disappeared but he still heard her voice. "Invisibility, clever," He commented on Moon's ability, she definitely was more than capable of handling herself though if she was in trouble the stallion wouldn't know if he couldn't see her.

@@Skycoaster, @, AppleJack "I'll head on back to Sweet Apple Acres to pack up as well, I'll meet y'all at the train station in a few," She said before leaving Pinkie Pie with the depressed stallion. Dogboots After AJ had left Pinkie attempted to get a rise out of the earth pony which seemed to be working. His muscles tensed up and his eye began twitching erratically. "Celestia," After Pinkie Pie had uttered that name, Dogboots slammed a hoof into the wall leaving a noticeable size hole in the wall. It was quite evident that the stallion's negative emotions still remained.

@@Gray_Spectrum, Dogboots nodded back at Gray acknowledging his request. He wasn't going to let Moon get hurt under his watch. "You can count on us!" He replied in a disciplined tone @@Moonlight Fire, "I don't have a good feeling about this Moon, something seems off about Sweetie being all the way there. It doesn't seem like her," The earth pony said to Moon. It was clear that he was worried a bit and he hoped he was wrong about all this.

@@Gray_Spectrum, The stallion looked at Gray dumbfounded and in a way knew what Moon had to put up with. Dogboots soon shook off his comment and bluntly stated the situation. "Gray, that isn't a party over there, THAT is Sweetie. Secondly, we know what happened to her, we just need to find out what's she doing all the way over there,"

@@Antismurf9001, @@Skycoaster, Applejack "Well I reckon it's worth a try, I mean there's nothing that I'm guessin that will help him. So yeah, let's take him to Canterlot" She said agreeing with Pinkie's idea. Dogboots The stallion had drowned out Pinkie, AJ and Fluttershy's conversation. It was uninteresting to him but when the name Celestia was bought up his eye would twitch and the earth pony's muscles clenched.

@@Moonlight Fire, @@Gray_Spectrum, @, @, "It's Dogboots, not Dogchutes," The stallion said correcting Star before turning towards Moon and Crimson. "Back to the issue at hoof, I think we should find Gray before we head towards Sweetie's location, agreed?" He suggested to the mare. Dogboots could tell that not many of the crew members could hold their own cider.

@@Moonlight Fire, "What's she doing all the way there?" He asked outloud. It was strange though cause according to his coworker she was taken by the police and now she was all the over there which was no where near the police station or her workplace. "Something seems off about this," Dogboots said narrowing his eyes at the light.

@@Moonlight Fire, @@slimmyjimjim, "According to my contact they just took...her- huh, never seen that light before," He said, pointing out a rather bright glowing light on top of the building. It was strange as the stallion never seen a light like that before. "Something about that light seems...familiar, like i've seen it somewhere, but I can't put my hoof on it." Dogboots thought to himself seemingly mesmerized by the light in the distance.

@, "The police took Sweetie, so we're all in a jam. I'd suggest getting everypony together and coming up with a plan to get her back," He said informing Star of the situation. This was going to be a problem considering they don't know how much she told the police. (I thought I did a couple pages ago when Star gave DB the tour but other than that I don't think she has addressed him as Dogchutes)

@@Moonlight Fire, "I've got good news and bad news," He said panting in between words. The stallion had been running around trying to find a familiar face. "Good news is I know where Sweetie is. The bad news is...she's in the custody of the police," The earth pony said breaking the news to Moon.

@@Moonlight Fire, @@Gray_Spectrum, Dogboots began to make his way to the docks. Some of his coworkers were working this late though most of the time they were doing some shady deals which didn't really bug the stallion. "Dogboots! What brings you here at this time of the night?" The stallion asked as Dogboots approached him. "I'm looking for a friend of mine, she has a stylish purplish mane, white coat and green eyes. She owns a matchmaking shop down near the pub," Dogboots said describing his acquaintance. "Now that you mention it, I remember seeing a mare fitting that description. Though she was taken in by the police. I had heard rumors that those gems she had belonged to somepony else," He said recollecting what happened a few hours ago. "Well, that saves me the effort of searching the entire city, thanks again man!" The earth pony said before he had left. "Well, Gray and Moon will not be glad to hear this," He thought to himself before galloping off trying to find either Moon or Gray.

@@Skycoaster, Applejack "Changelings? A changeling did this to him?" She exclaimed in horror. The earth pony approached the stallion cautiously. "Dogboots? You feelin' okay sugarcube?" She asked the stallion. Dogboots "Oh...hey AJ, i'd be lying if I said I was fine. Truth be told, I don't feel anything. Sorry to make that sound depressing, but it's the truth," He said staring at the blanket in front of him.

@@Moonlight Fire, "I see..." The stallion paused for a moment, contemplating his next move. "Okay, here's what we're going to do. We need to send someone down to Sweetie Pie's shop and check to see if she's down there. That's the only place that I can think of that she would be. I can check down with a few coworkers of mine at the docks and see if they saw her," He said to Moonlight suggesting his course of action.

@@Skycoaster, "We can if you want to Pinkie, but to be honest I don't think that will be enough," Dogboots said in a dull tone. The stallion still didn't feel anything which didn't make him sad but truth be told he wanted to be sad. Applejack Without any warning whatsoever, AJ suddenly burst through fluttershy's cottage door. She soon saw her friend Dogboots sitting up on the couch. His coat was grayer than before and the color of his eyes had faded to the point of lifelessness. "W-What's going on? What's wrong with him?" She asked Pinkie.

@@Skycoaster, Applejack "What in tarnation are you talking about Rainbow? What happened to Dogboots?" She asked putting down a rather large basket full of apples. It seemed strange that nearly everypony was over at Fluttershy's. "I'll head down to the cottage and see what's going on," She replied back to Rainbow Dash. Dogboots "Pinkie, I appreciate you trying to cheer me up but I don't think maneuvering my face around to smile is going to work," He said dullfully. (OOC: Decided to change the font color to show that he's feeling dull and empty)

@, Dogboots had followed Star who he wasn't too sure about but then again he was only making assumptions in his head. He had been wrong before about some ponies. He was at least hopeful that he was wrong about her, but it didn't seem that way. @, The duo soon entered the engine room and like the earthy pony soon looked in awe at the engine room. Various tools and components and even the engine itself was quite a marvel. Though it seemed a little quiet in the room. "Wonder where the mechanic is?" He wondered to himself.

@@slimmyjimjim, "Wouldn't that be a little rude and time consuming?" He asked Cuppie, though he soon deduced that Cuppie probably didn't pick up her sheet that she was suppose to get at the front desk. "There's got to be some sort of sign that has a list where each student's dorm is here," Back Track said looking for any signs that indicated as such.
