With time playing as an important factor, Twilight Sparkle embarks on finding the rest of the mane six and reaching the statue by town hall within one hour in the hopes of beating Discord at his own game. For her first area of investigating the ponies’ possible whereabouts, Twilight looks around the open fields nearby the mountains. That was where she and friends were before the whole mess with Discord happened. Twilight and the others were out having a picnic when Discord appeared out of nowhere and used the hourglass to turn the ponies into helpless young fillies.
 
After their sudden change, the ponies drifted into different places while under severe memory loss. Twilight barely remembers seeing that occurrence before her memory blacked out. Thankfully, Princess Luna helped Twilight regain her memories, magic, and cutie mark before going on to take part in Discord’s game. She hopes to defeat Discord with the other ponies by her side. However, the thought of losing to him also came to mind since he mentioned something about choosing six ponies for whatever twisted idea he has planned. He may choose the mane six or he might choose other ponies that are close to them.
 
After a long travel back to the picnic area due to her now smaller stature, Twilight soon arrived and looked for any clues regarding the other ponies’ presence.
 
Twilight Sparkle: There’s got to be something here. looking for clues If only the others were here, then it might have been a little easier finding each pony. hears crying in the distance Who is that?
 
Twilight follows the sound of crying to source. In her surprise, she finds one of the mane six close by.
 
???: crying  
Twilight Sparkle: Is that?  
???: sob crying  
Twilight Sparkle: Fluttershy!!!  
Fluttershy: sob Huh?  
Twilight Sparkle: Fluttershy I’m so glad that you’re …  
Fluttershy: Who are you? How do you know me?  
Twilight Sparkle: It’s me, Twilight Sparkle. I’m your friend.  
Fluttershy: B-But I don’t remember you.  
Twilight Sparkle: I can help you remember. Just let me…  
Fluttershy: backs away slowly Please don’t hurt me!  
Twilight Sparkle: gets irritated There’s isn’t time for … sees Fluttershy cowering and crying  
Fluttershy: crying  
Twilight Sparkle: feels bad about her tone I’m sorry about that Fluttershy, but you must trust me on this. I can’t help everypony without you, Rainbow Dash, and the other ponies.  
Fluttershy: What? You know Rainbow Dash?  
Twilight Sparkle: Yes, she’s a friend just like you.  
Fluttershy: … Well if she knows and trusts you, then I trust you too.  
Twilight Sparkle: Thank you Fluttershy. uses her magic to emit a spell from her horn
 
Much like when Princess Luna helped her, Twilight does the same to Fluttershy and helps the sensitive pony by placing her horn by her forehead. Upon doing this, Fluttershy steadily began to regain her memories, her flying, and her cutie mark. The times she enjoyed with the other ponies reappeared in the gaps of her mind. Sadly, she couldn’t restore Fluttershy to her proper age since the hourglass’ magic was far greater than hers. Twilight finished her spell with small signs of strain, but quickly ignored her pain while seeing her friend’s results.
 
Fluttershy: dazed Twilight?  
Twilight Sparkle: Fluttershy! You’re back!  
Fluttershy: flies toward Twilight and hugs her Oh Twilight! I’m so glad you’re here! I had this bad dream that Discord came back and turned us into small fillies!  
Twilight Sparkle: I’m afraid it wasn’t a dream Fluttershy.  
Fluttershy: What?
 
Just then, an ominous cloud hovering above the mountainous landscape took the shape of eyes and a mouth. It was none other than Discord.
 
Discord: Over here you two!  
Twilight & Fluttershy: DISCORD!  
Discord: I just wanted to say congratulations on finding Fluttershy. Maybe finding the other ponies will be as easy and less complicated, but that’s for me to know and you to find out MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!  
Twilight Sparkle: We will beat you at your own ridiculous game!  
Discord: Oh Twilight, you do realize that time doesn’t stand still for anypony, especially you. Speaking of which, pulls out a wristwatch you now have less than 50 minutes and counting.  
Twilight Sparkle: Oh no!  
Fluttershy: Wait! I remember something!  
Twilight Sparkle: You do!?  
Fluttershy: doing her best to remember … That’s it! I know where Pinkie Pie is!  
Twilight Sparkle: Lead the way Fluttershy! I’ll tell about everything on the way! We can’t afford to waste anymore time!  
Fluttershy: Got it! leads the way with Twilight following close by  
Discord: laughs Good luck little fillies! turns back to his “normal” self while toying with the hourglass You’ll need it.
 
Twilight and Fluttershy leave the grassy fields in the attempt of finding the rest of the mane six starting with Pinkie Pie.

Isn’t that Discord in the cloud?
 
And why did I think Fluttershy was sitting in a puddle of her own making? (And not by crying).  
Guess I’ve been on the internet too long….
