Chapter One - The Finding of the Foals

"Did… we have to walk so far in this place?" Fluttershy spoke softly, pausing on the path as she lifted her hoof up from the ground when she brushed against a bush. She was always scared of the forest. The Everfree Forest was always dark and scary with creatures that could prey on them, hunt them down as food.

"Come on! You have to camp in the Everfree Forest to get the best of the fright stories for camping!" Rainbow Dash grinned as she flew in the air beside the group.

"But… I don't like… the forest…" Fluttershy whispered, scared as she lowered her head down towards the ground. An orange hoof rested upon Fluttershy's shoulder to give her courage.

"Hush now. Don't ya worry yer little head, Fluttershy. Ah'll protect ya from harm," Applejack gave her a soft smile in hopes of giving her some confidence.

Fluttershy nodded quietly as she stayed closed to her. "Thank you…" She whispered.

Twilight just rolled her eyes at Rainbow Dash as she shook her head. "Take it easy, Rainbow Dash. Not everyone likes scary stories like…" Her voice trailed off when a pink blur suddenly bounced past her, only to realize that it was Pinkie Pie.

"Not only that! We can have S'MORES! YUMMY! I can't wait!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed with excitement, interrupting Twilight. Her eyes looked dazed as she thought about the how good the treat would be with the chocolate melted and dripping and with the marshmallows being all sticky.

"Humph. I don't know about you, but this humidity is messing up my mane, "Rarity sighed as she reached up to pat her purple curled mane."Oh. Dear…"

Twilight chuckled at her friend, Rarity. Rarity wasn't really an outdoor type of filly, but this was a special occasion. It had been a while since all six of the friends were together, especially outside of the palace in Ponyville.

Suddenly, there was a noise nearby and it caused the girls to stop instantly to take a look at their surroundings. Of course, there was nothing there until they heard another growl within the bushes and the growl soon turned into whimpers. These whimpers sounded to be more than one creature that was crying. Twilight, Rarity, Fluttershy, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, and Pinkie Pie looked at each other then stared at the bushes, going into alert mode.

Applejack stared carefully as she slowly moved towards the bushes.

"Stand back everyone Ah'm gonna take a look here." She warned them as Twilight and Rarity got into positions to defend their friends while Rainbow Dash flew up, ready to kick somepony's butt.

Pinkie Pie, however, took out a pie that she was willing to use to distract the creature.

Applejack pushed through into the bushes with a yell, "GOTTYA!" With that, there were screams of fright and all of a sudden, Applejack was knocked back from out of the bushes onto her rump with frost on her muzzle. Her eyes were wide with shock at what had just happened.

"APPLEJACK!" Her friends cried out, running to her. "Are you all right?!" Twilight asked with worry as she helped Applejack up.

Applejack shook her head, letting her yellow mane flare out as she blinked. " Ah think so. "

"What did you see, Applejack?" Rarity asked with concern.

Applejack just shook her head quietly. "Ah'm not really sure… But Ah do know that Ah scared them."

"Them? How many are there?"

"Not sure… They were small'uns," Applejack sighed as she got up onto her hooves, fixing her cowpony hat.

"Small? Then they must be babies!" Fluttershy exclaimed as she heard the bushes start to rustle, showing that the creatures were leaving and Rainbow Dash was already taking a dive bomb to the bushes before she could hear what Fluttershy said.

"Oh no you don't!" Rainbow Dash flew into the bushes quickly. "No one is getting away that fast! Not with Rainbow Dash here! I'm going to show you who's boss for hurting my friend!"

The creatures screamed again with fright. The small creatures were quickly separated from each other as they tried to get away from Rainbow Dash. The cries caught Fluttershy's attention and she knew quickly what it was.

"RAINBOW DASH! ENOUGH! YOU'RE SCARING THEM!"

Rainbow Dash came to a stop quickly when she heard Fluttershy yell and she knew that when Fluttershy yelled, you'd better stop. She poked her head out from behind the bushes.

"Dang, Fluttershy. What do you mean I'm scaring them? They're evil creatures aren't they?"

Fluttershy shook her head quickly as she went over to the bushes and slowly poked her head behind it. She noticed that small tracks had disappeared in certain directions.

"There's no such thing as evil creatures…especially if they are babies…" She slowly followed a small pair of tracks behind a tree and she noticed that the other tracks followed down to a rock, a log, and another bush.

She would slowly lower her body down to the ground until she was on her stomach and her head down near the ground. "Come out little…" She cooed softly to the creature behind the tree.

"It's okay… I won't hurt you… won't you please come out?" She waited as she watched the tree, causing the other ponies to stare at her oddly. Slowly, they noticed that a small figure was slowly peeking around the tree, whimpering more.

Fluttershy slowly crawled up to the tree, waiting patiently with a soft smile. "It's okay… I promise, I won't let anyone hurt you…" She held out her yellow hoof towards the creature, realizing it was a little colt.

She continued to keep her eyes on him and she could tell that he was frightened so continued to talk to him softly until his small little hoof, with tiny digits, touched her hoof. "See now… I won't hurt you..."

Fluttershy looked amazed to see how tiny his little hoof was. Slowly, she scooted her body closer to the tree carefully; she pushed herself up to sit on her hind legs.

"May I pick you up?" She asked so softly to him and she could see his little head nodding.

Carefully, Fluttershy scooped him up into her hooves, cradling him close to her chest as she wondered how he even got here in this forest.
