"Hey Ma!" Witch Kitten shouted. "We've got the stuff! Bega Root and all!"
"Good," Witch Cat shouted. She took the bucket, and dumped the whole thing into a hole on the side of the mountain, similar to Hydia's Volcano of Gloom. Suddenly, green glop began to bubble.
"It looks like Smooze," Witch Poodle said. "Only it's green."
"I know it looks like Smooze!" Witch Cat shouted. "Don't you think I know Smooze when I see it?! But it's different from Smooze!"
"How different?" Witch Kitten asked.
"It's bigger, it's meaner, and the Flutter Ponies can't defeat Gloob!" Witch Cat cackled. "Nothing can!"
The three witches began to cackle as a wave of the green Gloob floated over to Ponyland. Spike and Mimic were still out on their ride when they saw it.
"What in the world is that?!" Spike shouted.
"Green Smooze!" Mimic shouted. "Let's get out of here!"
Mimic began to run as fast as she could, but the Gloob was closing in fast. She ducked into a cave, just as a wall of Gloob washed over it.
"Oh no!" Mimic shouted. "We're trapped!"
"Don't worry, Mimic, we'll find a way out of here. I hope."
The Gloob continued to wash over Ponyland. It covered nearly everything in it's path. Nobody at Paradise Estate noticed it at first. The Sea Ponies were swimming around, when they all suddenly saw it.
"Sealight, Sealight!" Surf Rider screamed out.
"What is it? What's wrong?" Sea Light asked.
"Like, it's Smooze!" Surf Rider shouted.
"Not Smooze again!" Sea Shimmer shouted.
"Let's swim!" White Cap yelled.
"The Smooze is coming! The Smooze is coming!" they all shouted as they swam for the Estate.
"Oh no, not again!" Magic Star moaned.
Before anything else could happen, a wave of Gloob covered all the waters of Ponyland, and immediately hardened. The Sea Ponies were surfaced, but stuck.
"We can't get out!" Seawinkle shouted.
"I know precisely what to do," Wind Whistler said. "I'm going over the rainbow to get Megan and the Rainbow of Light. When we return, we must trek to Flutter Valley. Only the Flutter Ponies can stop the Smooze!"
Wind Whistler flew off. The others looked at the hardened Gloob, thinking it was Smooze, not knowing what else to do. But before she left, she turned to the others.
"Paradise!" she shouted. "You must get to Flutter Valley as fast as you can! They can stop this Smooze!"
"Right away!" Paradise shouted.
Paradise flew into the air and started for Flutter Valley. Wind Whistler watched them go, and she flew over the rainbow. She knew only the Flutter Ponies could stop the Smooze, but somehow, she got the feeling that they would need the Rainbow of Light. Galaxy walked over to the hardened Gloob, and examined it.
"I get the feeling this isn't ordinary Smooze," she said.
"But it looks like Smooze," Gusty said. "Except it's green. And it acts like Smooze . . . . ."
"But the Sea Ponies were Smoozed," Fizzy said. "Sort of."
"We're just stuck in it," White Cap replied.
"And when someone gets Smoozed," Sweet Stuff said. "They're mean and nasty. That hasn't happened to the Sea Ponies."
"So you're not sure if this is actually Smooze," Magic Star said.
"Is there any way to tell for sure?" Gusty asked.
"Not that I know of," Galaxy said. "I just hope Wind Whistler returns with Megan fast. And Paradise, too."
The others nodded, but all they had to do was wait. In any case, Wind Whistler, flew down into Megan's back yard. She had perfect timing. Megan was just coming back from a riding lesson. She was teaching her best human friend, Anne Chiang, how to ride.
"Hey, Megan, look!" she shouted. "It's one of the ponies."
"Megan! You must come to Ponyland!" Wind Whistler shouted. "We need the Rainbow of Light! Anne, you come, too. We need all the help we can get. The Smooze is back! But we fear it's not ordinary Smooze."
"Explain it to me on the way!" Megan shouted as she and Anne jumped on Wind Whistler's back. She took to the sky and explained everything she knew.
