Red Hare

The 14-years-old cherrish colored girl with black long hair in two small ponytail dressed in sleeveless green shirt in showing bellybutton, red skirt and long greenish leg's sleeves and black shoes who looked worry and scared at the horse paddock.

She muttered in fear, "What am I gonna do?! My daddy and brothers are gonna kill me if I lost him!"

Applejack, Apple Bloom and Saber Dragoon dressed in white shirt, dark greenish jacket and blue jean came to the paddock. Jasmine gasped in relief as she jumped and hugged cousin and friends of hers tightly.

"Jasmine." Applejack asked, "What happen?"

Jasmine sighed in upset, "Okay... Here's how it happens. I took Red Hare out for stroll for every morning. It trotted and galloped around the farmyard, and come back to his paddock after 2 -3 hours. And now, he never came back. Something bad has happen to him."

Apple Bloom hummed in concern, "You'd think he ran away when Jas not looking?"

"Doubt of that..." Saber Dragoon shook his head, "Red Hare maybe a horse, but he's smart one. He would have run off when the owner proved to be unworthy and useless to him."

"Then, it's gotta be horse thief." Applejack concluded, "And I'd say this one is a clever one."

"But why would a horse thief wants with Blade Dragoon's Red Hare?" Apple Bloom asked in concern.

Jasmine Jade sighed in concern, "Red Hare is very majestic and powerful but rare horse from China. It runs very fast across the land like a wind. It never feared the battle as like the mighty dragon. And the best and awesome of this horse, it's loyal to the family."

"And there is more to it," Saber Dragoon took over and explained, "There's a legend that this horse belongs to Jasmine's ancestor: Guan Yu."

"Makes sense... So how are we gonna find the horse?" Apple Bloom asked in concern, "It could be anywhere."

"True... We just need to retrace the steps of how Red Hare run off to. And I'm pretty sure the farmers and commoners would have noticed it." Saber Dragoon suggested.

Applejack nodded, "Hopefully, my friends can help out too. Let's go, you'all. So, how does Red Hare went?"

"Okay... Just follow me. Let's hope we can find him," Jasmine agreed as she headed off.

Saber, Applejack and Apple Bloom followed Jasmine in search of Red Hare. Hopefully, they can get the horse back in time.

--------------------------------------------

Applejack's team followed Jasmine's instruction of how Red Hare trotted and galloped during his strolling on out routine. They followed the horse's path for an hour. They came across the first village when they asked of Red Hare's location. They claimed they saw it from western side.

Instead of Red Hare, Applejack's team came across the wild tigers who nearly took the bite on them. But they were lucky when Brave Tiger halted his pets from hunting. He helped them in finding the Red Horse from Southern Part. But instead of the horse, they got chased off by the Elephants. The Barbarian King calmed them down as he helped Applejack and her team in heading to the north where he believed the horse went to.

Applejack's team came across Sweet Apple Acres as they hopefully can find some answers from Applejack's family. She explained to both Big McIntosh and Granny Smith about it.

"So, do you know what happen to it?" Jasmine asked in concern.

Granny Smith hummed for the moment before she gasped, "Oh! Now I remember! I saw that red horse got caught by Flim-Flam Brothers. They said that they wanted to sell it since it's very rare to have a red horse in this world."

Big Mac nodded, "Eeyup..."

Applejack groaned, "It has to be those cons..."

"Don't worry, I'll put some good use of words to them," Saber Dragoon said calmly, "If not, the fists will do the trick."

--------------------------------------------

At Flim-Flam Brothers' Shops, the brothers were making some sells in hopes to get more cash and money. They also hoped to sell the rarest horse to richest man of the world. The Red Hare's head gear was attached to the building's pole in making sure that it never escaped.

Applejack's team came across to their salesmen's building.

Flim noticed Applejack, "Well... If it isn't the banana girl, so what brought you here for?"

"Yes... I don't suppose you're here for buying?" Flam asked curiously and greedily, "I'm pretty sure we can find a perfect cheap product for you."

"Then, I'll be taking Red Hare if you don't mind!" Jasmine Jade exclaimed in anger as she untied the rope from the pole. She continued, "This belong to my father!"

"Hey! You can't take that!" Flim exclaimed in shock as he slapped Jasmine's hand hard.

Flam agreed, "That horse is our property!"

"No. He's not your property. He's our family," Saber Dragoon glared at Flim-Flam Brothers. He continued, "And I'll make a report about it."

"You can't be serious!" Flam protested angrily.

Flim nodded, "We found it. And it's ours! And you have no right to prove that we have stolen your horse. And trust me, we'll report to the police about this."

"I wouldn't do that if I were you. He really own that horse." Applejack warned Flim and Flam Brothers.

Apple Bloom nodded, "My sister's right. Better do what Saber asked, or you'll be sorry for it."

"Prove the certificate!" Flim-Flam Brothers exclaimed in denial. Saber took the certificate out as it shown that Red Hare was owned by Blade Dragoon. They groaned as they refused to be defeated, "Likely story! It's the fake."

Saber glared at Flim-Flam, "You really want to do the hard way..." He turned and found Flash's Dad passing the locals by. He called and waved to the policeman, "Excuse me, sir. I need to make some report-!"

Flim and Flam screamed in fear, "Okay! Okay! It's yours! But we didn't really steal it! Honest!"

"Likely story," Apple Bloom shook her head in disbelief, "Sounds familiar?"

"It is!" Flim pleaded, "I swear to Abraham Lincoln that we found the Red Hare from your barn! We though the owner abandoned it. So, we took it in for sells."

Flam nodded, "Indeed! And we have no idea that you owned that horse."

"Give me one good reason of why I should believe in your lies?" Saber asked angrily.

As both Flim-Flam Brothers gulped in concern, Jasmine Jade approached to the brothers as she looked at them closely. They both remained silent for the moment. She smiled.

"I believe in them." Jasmine Jade said cheerfully. They all turned and looked at her. She continued, "I can tell if they're lying. After all, I'm good at finding of who is the liar."

"If they didn't do it, then who did?" Apple Bloom asked in concern.

Applejack slowly turned to her right. She gasped, "I think we're about to find it the hard way! The horse thief is stealing Red Hare again!"

"WHAT?!" Everyone asked in shock and concern.

Everyone turned to Applejack's direction. They found a black armored and crimson skirt light red teenager girl with blackish helmet with twin crimson long feather-like was riding the Red Hare. She nudged it in escaping form them. She must have untied the horse when Applejack's team had the argument with Flim-Flam Brothers.

"No way! That never happen!" Apple Bloom exclaimed in concern.

Jasmine Jade growled in anger, "That must be the horse thief! Stop her!"

Applejack's team headed off at once as they chased after the horse thief. They were not aThe thief gave the horse a hard nudge in galloping very fast. They had no chance in catching up to both thief and Red Hare in time. Both the thief and pursuers had reached the plain field.  

Determined to get Red Hare back, Saber Dragoon's eyes glowed in green as he sped up his speed in catching up with the thief. Jasmine Jade stopped as she grabbed the boulders. She thrown them at the thief's. The thief dodged and avoided the attacks but the front got blocked when Jasmine Jade targeted in blocking her from escaping.

Saber Dragoon jumped and kicked the thief off. She hovered and landed on the ground as she took the Cross Double Bladed. Both of them swung their blades at each other while dodging and blocking the attacks for few times. They both had the clash for the moment. The thief gave him a headbutt before kicked him off. She swung her blade as him. He rolled back before deflected the attack and kicked her off. He charged in as he swung his blade on her. She blocked and deflected the attacks. They both then clashed for the moment. Before they got deflected, she swung her blade on his head but Saber dodged down and punched on her guts hard.

The thief moved back as she tried to recover. Jasmine came from her back. Jasmine gave the thief a hard punch to the ground.

Red Hare went wildly again as Applejack and Apple Bloom quickly headed off in calming him down. He continued neighing loudly. Applejack quickly got up on it as she pulled the rope tight in controlling and calming the horse down. With Red Hare calmed down, Apple Bloom came and gave him the apple.

Applejack sighed in relief, "That was a close call."

"Yeah... Now to know who the thief is," Apple Bloom added.

Applejack and Apple Bloom brought Red Hare and met up with Saber Dragoon and Jasmine Jade who held the thief tight. Everyone gasped in shock and surprise when the thief revealed her face to them.

"Frost?! Daughter of Devil Destroyer?!" Saber asked in shock, "Were you trying to steal Red Hare from us?!"

Frost huffed, "I would have... Red Hare belonged to my father, not the pretender!"

Applejack gave Frost a punch on her chest, "well, sorry to disappoint ya. Red Hare belonged to Blade Dragoon. And you have no right to take it since your father was dumb enough to fight without using his head."

Frost moaned painfully as she got knocked out of her conscious. That settled with the thief.

Jasmine sighed as she petted Red Hare gently, "I would never let you out of my sights again, Red Hare." She turned to her friends, "Thank you for helping."

"Not a problem. It's the least we can do," Applejack smiled happily.
