Hello! Let me tell you a little about myself before you start reading. I'm an amateur writer, I can barely spell anything right, and I'm overall not that well. I hope to improve soon. Enjoy my imagination!

Chapter One

It was a beautiful, normal day in Equestria. The sun was bright in the clear blue sky, while below, the streets of Ponyville bustled with energy. Various ponies played at the park, and others were in and out of shops. This, however, was a very good day to the fillies and colts of Ponyville. The schoolhouse bell rang, and young ponies burst from the door, shouting and laughing happily. Three particular ponies lead the hoard. The small orange pegasus filly galloped over to her scooter and strapped her helmet on, closely followed by a white unicorn and yellow earth pony. They too strapped on their helmets and hopped in the wagon strapped to the back of the scooter. The orange pegasus spread her tiny wings and took off on the scooter, buzzing past buildings and ponies with great enough speed to ruffle said pony's mane.

The fillies eventually stopped at a small treehouse. "Wow," said the orange pegasus. "I can't believe that school's out! It's been like, forever!" Her friends nodded in agreement.

"Maybe we can finally get our cutie marks!" the yellow earth pony blurted out in a mild southern accent, bouncing on her hooves.

"Apple Bloom, thats a great idea!" the white unicorn calmed her friend down. Apple Bloom stopped bouncing. "But we just got out of school. We should take a break!"

The orange pegasus shook her head and smiled micheviously. "No, Sweetie Bell. There's no time for breaks. We need to get our cutie marks, to show them off next school year!"

"But Scootaloo-"

"No buts!" Scootaloo clambered up to a small table with a mallet on it. "I have an idea! but it's very risky. All in favor of trying to get our cutie marks tonight, say I." She paused for a moment. "I!"

Apple Bloom smiled and raised her hoof proudly over her head. "I!"

Sweetie Bell hesitated and sighed. "I." The two other fillies smiled and started their Cutie Mark Cruisaders chant as they walked out of their treehouse.

Little did they know that the full moon has started to rise steadily into the sky, and a pair of wild, glowing yellow eyes stared hungrily a the three. The eyes blinked, and a large, shadowy figure jumped out of the bushes and scooped up the CMC with a massive, clawed paw. The three screamed in surprise and terror as the beast hurried out of Ponyville, towards the Everfree Forest.
