Don't know what to think of the synopsis for Last Roundup.
I mean, it sounds like a good episode, for sure, what I'm confused on, though, is Applejack's involvement in the episode. Will she actually be on screen for a decent amount of time, or will she literally be missing for the majority of the episode, only showing up at the beginning and ending?
If it is the latter, then we can hardly call it an Applejack episode, as she won't even be on screen for most of it.
Hmm....maybe while the others are looking for her, they'll intersperse flashback sequences of her or something so she can be there without really being there.

If stuff with Applejack is interspersed it'll probably feel a lot like a repeat of A Dog and Pony Show. Doesn't sound too interesting to me either way, though. I'm mostly wondering when we're getting a Fluttershy episode.

I think we are all wondering when the Fluttershy episode is coming. Even Pinkie now has an episode coming.

I remember another TV show having an episode where a main character disappears and all the others think she's been kidnapped. So guess who's coming to town, Ponyville? {Spoiler} That's right. Colonel Flagg.

So, I cannot finish it today (have to wait until tomorrow) but here are 3/4ths of Episode 4 in my project... {Spoiler}(Recap of the previous episode plays picking out pivotal scenes of AJ and Apple Bloom arguing, Dustmite appearing and spending some fun times with Apple Bloom, AJ’s worries about her sister and the note detailing Apple Bloom’s kidnapping.)
Intro
Episode 4: Sisterly Bonds! Applejack versus the Sand Brothers!
We come back to the others walking towards the hospital with Braeburn in tow…
FS: Uhm…do you really think…we should impose in on them like that…
PP: I think it will help uplifting the saddy-waddy mood AJ’s been in!
TS: Yes, even if it doesn’t turn out as well as she’d hope, we can still offer her comfort.
RD: Hey, what’s that ruckus over there?
They see the hospital staff in a great unrest, running around from corridor to corridor, with the chief doctor delegating them…
CD: She was not in the supply cabints? Then search in the playground outside!...Not in the second block? Then go to the third!
BB: Hey there doc! What is all the fuss about?
CD: Ah, Braeburn! Good to see you here! Its terrible! Your cousin Apple Bloom has disappeared!
All: WHAT?!?
CD: When the nurse went to check on her earlier, her bed was empty. We are in the midst of searching for her around the hospital grounds but we haven’t found her yet!
BB: What about AJ? My other cousin? She wanted to visit Apple Bloom! Where did she go?
CD: I don’t know! She came here earlier today, that’s right, but she came rushing back almost immediately before I got a chance to talk to her! She seemed to be in a mighty hurry!
TS: Maybe AJ knows something, doctor! We will search for her while you keep looking for Apple Bloom around here! We will inform you if any news come up!
The group rushes back into the centre of the town…
RR: What could the meaning of this, Twilight?
TS: I don’t know but it can’t be good! AJ must surely know something so we have to find her first!
They assemble in the town square where Twilight begins to draw a map in the sand…
TS: OK, Braeburn and Pinkie, you will cover the area from here to there! Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy, you will be our aerial search team and you cover the whole of Appleloosa since you can cover a lot of ground! Rarity and me will cover that area from there to here! Any questions?
RD: Yeah, why did you do such a detailed map?
Focus on a very VERY accurate map of Appleloosa with detailed descriptions and everything…
TS: Being detailed does make everything clearer, doesn’t it? Anyway, we should move out! We meet again in an hour here, ok?
Everypony else: OK!
They go into different directions to search for AJ…
Meanwhile, Applejack finishes packing her stuff, including her rope and her element. She puts her saddlebags on and quietly sneaks out of the hotel she stays at with the others. She stealthily circumvents her way around Appleloosa, making sure to evade her friends at all costs. Finally, she arrives at the entrance to the desert and prepares to gallop out, when she hears a voice behind her…
“Applejack, wait.”
Applejack stops in her tracks, turns around and sees Rainbow Dash behind her…
AJ: Why, Rainbow, hi there, how are you? Sorry, but I am a bit busy right now… RD: I can tell that what with the way you snuck around town…
AJ: No, you are misunderstanding. Ah have some business attending to…a special crop of apple trees that nopony knows about…a special Apple family breed…can’t let anypony else see ‘em…hehe…
They both stare at each other with RD looking more and more indignant while AJ breaks out in sweats and nervously smiles…
RD: *sigh* Drop it AJ. Ever since Pinkie’s birthday a few years ago, we know you are an absolutely unconvincing liar. We also know that Apple Bloom is missing so you snaking around must have something to do with it!
AJ’s face grows solemn and she turns away from RD…
RD: Why do you turn on me like that?! The only reason I haven’t notified the others yet is because from you deliberately avoiding us, I concluded that something must be going on. I am not a featherbrain, you know?
AJ:…Its none of your business.
RD angrily tackles AJ and pushes her to the ground.
RD: WHAT DO YOU MEAN NONE OF OUR BUSINESS?!?! DON’T YOU KNOW THAT WE CARE ABOUT APPLE BLOOM AS MUCH AS YOU DO?!? WHAT GIVES YOU…
RD realizes then that AJ has begun to cry, something she has never seen her do.
AJ: I’m sorry. I cannot tell you anything.
RD: AJ, you…
RD releases AJ who stands up…
AJ: Please, Rainbow, don’t tell the others anything about it. Trust me, I won’t do anything reckless but I have to do it alone this time. I’m sorry.
She prepares to go when RD speaks up again…
RD: One hour…I give you one hour to finish your business, AJ, but if you don’t come back with Apple Bloom, I won’t hesitate to tell the others.
AJ:…Thanks, sugarcube.
With this, AJ gallops towards the desert while RD nervously looks after her…
Commercial break
Meanwhile, at the foot of Fable Mountain, we see Dustmite and Apple Bloom looking up at the oddly shaped mountain…
DM: See, I told you, this mountain is really something special.
AB: It really is, but do ya think, its alright to leave the hospital so suddenly like that?
DM (smiling at Apple Bloom): Don’t worry, I left a message with the nurses, its no problem they know me.
Feeling reassured, Apple Bloom continues looking at the mountain. Dustmite takes his look in a different direction, viewing an outcrop a little up in the rocks where his brother Sandstone lies, preparing an apparatus of some sort.
DM (thinking): Sandstone? Is everything in place?
SS (thinking): Yes. The machine is ready to go at any time. When’s the deadline?
DM (thinking): In a few minutes. But I can already see something approaching at any moment. Wait until I give the signal.
SS (thinking): Okay.
Dustmite sees a pony coming from a little distance. He turns back to Apple Bloom.
DM: Look, Apple Bloom, we got company.
Apple Bloom turns around and sees AJ just arriving and coming at a standstill a little from them…
AB: AJ? What are ya doin’ here?
AJ: I could ask the very same question from you, Missy! What in the hay were ya thinkin’ runnin’ away from the hospital like dat? Ah knew that strange lookin’ colt had sumthin’ ta do with it…
AB: What are ya talkin’ about, AJ? Dustmite wanted to just show me this beautiful mountain! He said it was okay and he even had a notice prepared beforehand…
AJ: Yeah, I saw that notice alright…
AB: Then what in the hay is your problem AJ?! Ya are always treatin’ me like a baby like ah couldn’ go anywhere without your consent! Ah don’ need you to watch over me…
While Apple Bloom continues complaining, AJ notices Dustmite giving a headnod towards the mountain. She looks up and sees something sparkling in an outcrop. Realizing this, AJ immediately rushes forward…
AJ: APPLE BLOOM!!! DUCK!!!
We look at the landscape and hear a bang erupt…
We next look at Apple Bloom’s face, her eyes closed, when something warm trickles on her face. She opens her eyes, looks up and sees a sharp star-like object stuck in Applejack’s foreleg from which blood emerges and trickles down…
AB: W-w-w-wha-wha-what happened?!
AJ (with face grimaced in pain): It’s okay, Apple Bloom, just be still…
DM (angry): Darn it, Sandstone, you hit the wrong one! Can’t you do anything right?
AJ: So, ah reckon ya work for one of dem Four Stars fellows, right?
DM: That is indeed correct, Applejack. But unlike that fool Night Ash, me and my brother would never be so foolish to take on the Elements of Harmony head-on. No, we decided to take on one element by itself…
AJ: That’s why ya tricked Apple Bloom, right?
DM: Indeed, as soon as I noticed your sisterly bond, I decided to place distrust in her towards you…which was quite easy already, since her trust in you was a bit chinked. I gained her trust and used her to lure you here so that I can finish off an element!
AJ: So, ya never cared about her one bit?
DM: Yes, that naïve little filly was just a pawn in my game to destroy you.
Apple Bloom, who had listened to this wide-eyed, became shocked, then sad, then angry over the course of the conversation.
AB: So, you tricked me, ya miserable little prick! Ah’ll show ya who’s…
AJ: Apple Bloom! That’s enough! You take cover behind that rock there and let your big sister handle this.
AB: But…
AJ: That’s not a request, that’s an order Apple Bloom! Now go!
Apple Bloom stands up and trots away hiding behind the rock AJ pointed out.
DM: Oh. You want to take us on in your condition. That leg must hurt pretty bad!
AJ (while pulling the star from her wound): Heh, its just a scratch. Nothing that could stop me from beating you!
DM: Well, we’ll see about that…
After a brief staredown, Applejack begins to gallop towards Dustmite…
DM (thinking): Sandstone, shoot.
Sandstone begins to unleash several stars on AJ but she swiftly evades them, closing in on Dustmite. He prepares himself but to his surprise, AJ jumps over him, and continues to run towards the mountain. She pulls out her rope from the bag while still clearing the stars shot towards her. After reaching the mountain wall, she jumps with all her might swinging her lasso and hauls it towards the star gun. She manages to grab it and pulls it down to Sandstone’s surprise. The star gun falls and smashes into several pieces on the ground.
AJ: That was that! Now to you…
She turns around running towards Dustmite…
DM: Sandstone, you imbecile, come here!
Sandstone immediately jumps from rock to rock swiftly and hits the ground in record time. He runs even faster than AJ, overtakes her and arrives at Dustmite’s side immediately. AJ stops in her tracks.
AJ: What in tarnation?!
DM: Well, even if he is useless at everything else, he is still an agile and fast runner. Now, what should we do?
DM digs at something in the sand which Apple Bloom sees: something black and shiny.
AB: AJ! Watch out! He’s got somethin’…
She runs from behind her cover and after a few steps stumbles and falls flat-first in the sand…
DM: Perfect! Sandstone, steady now!
Sandstone goes steady while Dustmite pulls a large metal star from the sand and jumps on the back of Sandstone…
AJ: Apple Bloom!
AJ runs to her fallen sister…
DM: Too late!
He jumps up and throws the black star towards Apple Bloom. AJ runs and runs, the star comes nearer and nearer, Apple Bloom looks up, sees the star coming, closes her eyes…
Dark screen, SpLASH!
Commercial Break
I was looking for this... I know MD's not about at the moment but I did promise..... an interlude {Spoiler}
Celestia and Luna had shared the early afternoon in quiet reflection of that horrible, horrible day. Thankful for the lack of distubances, Luna finally opened her eyes. She had finally run out of tears for the loss of her brothers but could mourn no longer for them. Her grief had faded considerably, but now the questions were coming. As if sensing the incoming inquiries, Celestia too opened her eyes, and the gentlest of smiles crossed her face as she waited for Luna to gather her words.
"Sister," Luna finally began, "how have you managed to continue the duties the six of us performed after that day?"
Celestia slowly rose to all four hooves. "We had anticipated the day that we would be short-handed. Whether we chose to expand our empires or if conflict arose, we would have all of our information in place. Cepheid and Aphelion took extensive notes of how their duties, as they had no backup. While I had Solaris and you had Umbral, we shared our information and combined it into several tomes.
"Thankfully, many citizens in other villages choose to assist when the seasons are changing as there is so little magic to go around. Towns founded by earth ponies get much of the work done for fall and spring, and since winter and summer blend so seamlessly into their preceding seasons, it is not a strain on our resources.
"The pegasus cities have made it their business to assist in weather for many locales, so we have much fewer duties overall. I raise the sun and moon, and use both to guide the tides and seasons. I will be thankful when we will have you resuming your duties with the moon."
"I.... I do look forward to it, but do the ponies even notice...."
"They do, and their assistance in making these seasons blossom and fade - having a hoof in such important matters - only reinforces our harmony. While they cannot move the sun and moon, they can help move the clouds for the sun to shine, they can aid the trees preparing for winter, they can clear their fields and sow their crops for all to prosper."
Luna pondered this as Celestia magically opened the door to another room. "I had your room prepared with some new decorations, sister. It was already designed to your wishes but I have added one thing to the bare west wall."
Curious, Luna carefully slid off her pillow and peeked through the door.
While dark, the room itself had welcome hues of midnight blues and night-cloud grays, what little furniture glittered with silvery accents. A single south-facing window gave some of Celestia's charge a peek inside, catching an angled mirror and flickering into a framed stained-glass mosiac, much like the ones that colored the sunlight in the great hall. Luna trotted closer, fascinated by the angling light into the design and an accent of pearlescent light backlighting the image to Luna's delight.
The image was one she had demanded to see earlier - the centerpiece that once adorned the Great hall, an image of discord, head lowered and eyes crazed, canopied under six pairs of wings. Her gaze traced over the brilliant colors, between the blazing whites of Celestia's and Solaris' wings to the glowing gold of Cepheid's to the twinkling blues and whites of Aphelion's. Hers and Umbral's blue-black wings framed the outside edges of their canopy, and each point punctuated with an actual gemstone instead of glass, highlighting each of their elements that ended the darkness and chaos that established the peace of their world. Luna spread her wings and hovered up closer to the amazing work, her horn reverently touching each stone to add a shimmer to each one. To Celestia's surprise, she did not hesitate for the fallen Cepheid or Aphelion, though her joy did slow as she tapped her amythyst and turned to the single opaque gem in the piece: a darkly mottled sphere of Lapis LAzuli.
Celestia anticipated Luna's answer to this opaque gem; could it be lit? She offered no advice or encouragment, merely letting her sister decide. Luna hovered there for several moments, not looking back to her sister and finally tapping the marbled gem with her horn.
She fluttered away from the mosaic before landing solemnly beside her. "I'm not to mourn for the past...."
"But we have a duty to our own Family, Luna... to never forget, but in time to forgive."
