We now see Shiro(in his pony form) and Lenny walking in a jungle-like forest. It was early morning, and they just left for Equestria.

"So, what do they call this place?" asked Lenny.

"The Everfree Forest," answered Shiro.

"EverFREE? I've heard of an everGREEN forest. But EverFREE?"

"Does have a patriotic sound to it. Maybe a pony revolution happened here or something."

"That would be interesting. So why haven't we seen any ponies yet?"

"Ponyville is still a while away. Most of the residents don't come this far because of the monsters."

"Well that does make...MONSTERS!"

"Yep, and all the classic European ones to. Manticores, Hydras, Cockatrice, and I heard a dragon made a nest somewhere in the mountains."

"That's it, I'm out of here!" said Lenny as he tried to run off, only to be pounced by Shiro.

"Where do you think your going? We faced monsters before."

"But we didn't know about them before. And you never said anything about trailing through a thick forest full of monsters."

"Relax, with places like this the worst of them only come out at night," said Shiro as he gently let Lenny go " And I'm sure if we stay on the trail and not attract attention, we'll be fine." He turns around only to find a female zebra in his way. She was a light gray with dark stripes, had blue eyes, and on her flank her stripes formed an African sun symbol. Her neck and forelegs were covered with gold bangles and a gold earring. Around her waist was a belt that held two wicker baskets. What was in them was anyone's guess. Some of you MLP fans already know this is Zecora.

"Is that a zebra?" asked Lenny.

"Yeah, I didn't think we run into a local so soon."

"Strange visitors from a land so far, seem so brave to travel in a forest so dark," said Zecora.

"Great, she's an oracle," said Shiro "She probably going to tell us that we're going to fail."

"A prophet I am, you falsely presume. But I shouldn't expect different, coming from a kitsune."

"What? You know what I am? How did you...?"

"Your secret I'll keep, under walls so thick. So long as you don't cause trouble or devious tricks." With that she just walked by, leaving the two alone.

"Okay, that was a little weird." said Lenny.

"No matter, we can't let this distract us from our mission." said Shiro. Just then, a white flash appeared behind him. When it cleared, a picture of a dagger and a bone crossing each other was on his flank.

"Hey, when did you get a tattoo?"

"What are you blabbering about? I don't have a..." Shiro looked behind himself and was shocked to found the symbol "Great Lupus! How did that get there?"

"Could it have been the zebra lady?"

"What she said didn't sound like an incantation for 'draw a picture on a guys butt' to me. Whatever, I've seen other ponies with symbols like this. I guess it completes my disguise. Come on, let's get out of here before something else happens."

We are now at Ponyville. We see Twilight walking around, reading a book that she's lifting magically.

"Hey Twilight!" called out a pink female earth pony. She had curly dark pink mane and tail, blue eyes, and on her flank were blue and yellow balloons. She skipped to Twilight with a book carefully balanced on her head.

"Oh, hey Pinkie Pie," Twilight greeted the mare.

"Twilight, Twilight, you got to check out this future book." said Pinkie "You just check your birthday, and it tells you your future."

"You mean like a horoscope?"

"It's not a horror story, silly. It's a future book. Let me show you." She then opens the book and starts reading. "It says 'You will make a big celebration, and bring happiness to all you meet'. Isn't that something?"

"Pinkie, you ALWAYS plan parties and make ponies laugh. Everyone knows that."

"Okay, lets try you next." Pinkie flips through a few pages until she found Twilight's date of birth. "You will meet a stranger from a far away land. His ways and actions will risk a great change."

"Pinkie, I know you've proved me wrong in the past. But I find it unlikely that the date of my birth can predict my fate."

We now see Shiro and Lenny enter Equestian territory, in a field of apple trees.

"What did I tell you?" said Shiro, proudly "We got through there, and not a single monster."

"I guess it wasn't so bad," said Lenny "And I have to admit, this place does look kinda nice." Shiro looked around and found a tiny purple flake on the ground.

"What do we have here?" He kneels over and starts sniffing it. "Seems to be reptilian...with a hint of...Strawberry ice cream?...and...Platinum. We found the trail, pick up this scale."

"I don't think ponies have..."

"Just do it!" With that, Lenny picks it up, put it in a handkerchief, and put the handkerchief in one of Shiro's saddlebags. "With this scale, she's as good as..." Just then, barking interrupted him. The two looked and saw it came from a brown and white border collie, with a red collar. The dog went charging at the two, like it was mad. This shock the two so much that Shiro actually lost focus, and reverted to his true form. The dog then chased the two till they climb up a tree. The dog stood at the base of the tree and continued barking at them.

"You didn't check for attack dogs?" asked Lenny, who was now clinging to a branch.

"Well I think I flew over this area," answered Shiro "At least it couldn't get any..."

"Winona!" called out a voice. Hearing this, Shiro quickly changed back into a pony. He almost lost his footing because of the hooves, but he manages not to fall. We now see that the voice belong to an orange female earth pony. She had a blonde mane and tail that were both tied into (pardon the pun) ponytails, green eyes, a lightly freckled face, and a picture of three red apples on her flank. On her head was a light brown ten-gallon hat.

At her side was a small yellow earth pony. She had a red mane and tail, brown eyes, and had a large pink hair bow.

"Winona," said the orange pony to the dog "What in Sam hill has gotten into you?" When she got close, she looked up and saw Shiro and Lenny. "Well I'll be."

"Can we get down now?" asked Lenny.

"Sure." said the orange pony. The yellow filly held on to Winona, so to not chase them. Shiro grabbed Lenny with his teeth and then glided to the ground.

"Why are you stealing our apples?" asked the filly.

"Apple Bloom." snapped the orange pony.

"We're not steeling anything, I swear," replied Shiro "We were just passing though. I'm Snow Strider, and this is Lenny."

"Please to meet ya Mr. Strider. I'm Applejack, this here's my sister Apple Bloom, and you already met Winona."

"Nice to meet you." Shiro reached to pet Winona, but she let loosed a fierce growl that made him back away.

"Winona, no!" commanded Applejack, before turning back to Shiro "I'm so sorry, I don't know what's gotten into her. She's normally the sweetest dog you'll ever meat. She doesn't even chase the mail pony."

"I guess we just have that biscuit kind of smell or something. It was nice meeting you ladies, but we better be on our..." Just then a rumbling sound can be heard. Everyone quickly detected that it was coming from Lenny's stomach.

"Well that sounds like a reason to stick around. We were getting ready to have breakfast after chores. Why don't you join us?"

"It was a long trip to get here," stated Lenny.

"I don't know," said Shiro "We really should be going."

"Please," said Apple Bloom, pouting and getting teary eyed.

"Oh alright."

"Great, come this way," said Applejack as she led the others to her house.

"How come the 'hurt fawn' look never worked for me as a cub?" said Shiro under his breath.

TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

We now cut to inside the Apple family's house. Shiro and Lenny were already at a dinner table with Apple Bloom and two other ponies. One of them was a large red stallion. He had green eyes, messy orange mane and a tail that looked as if it was cut in half, light freckles on his cheeks, a green half apple symbol on his flank, and wore a brown yoke collar. This was Big Macintosh, Applejack's and Apple Bloom's brother.

The other was a very old lime green mare. She had light gray mane and tail, both worn a bun each, orange eyes, a cobbler pie symbol on her flank, and wore a red and yellow plaid handkerchief around her neck. This was Granny Smith, the Apple Siblings'...well, granny.

"You really don't have to do this," said Shiro. "You barely know us."

"Nonsense," replied Applejack who just came in balancing a couple of apple pies on her back. "We at Sweet Apple Acres love to make new friends. Isn't that right Big Macintosh?"

"Eeyup." responded Big Mac. Applejack then gave everyone a piece of pie. Everyone was enjoying the pie, but Shiro just hesitated. "Well dig in. It ain't gonna hurt ya."

"Where I'm from we're not aloud to eat before our lead...our host."

"How very polite of you." She took a bite of her pie, but after that Shiro just chomped on his so fast, it was gone it a few seconds. "Whoa there partner. Give some time to enjoy it."

"But I did enjoy," said Shiro after he swallowed what he had in his mouth. "The taste of the apples is fascinating. You can just every sunray and raindrop each one absorbed. You almost don't need the cinnamon to enjoy it."

"Well thank you," said Applejack as she blushed.

"Thank you for the pie," said Shiro as he got up from the table "But we really must be going. Lenny, come." Lenny finished the last three bites of his pie as quickly as he could and started to follow.

"You need any help?" asked Applejack "I could show you around Ponyville."

"That's okay, I'm confidant that we can find our way around, goodbye." With that, he and Lenny left the house.

"Don't be a stranger."

"Nice fellers," said Granny Smith "A little odd though."

TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

We now see Shiro and Lenny walking down a path.

"I think the one in the hat likes you," said Lenny.

"Yeah, she was very polite," said Shiro.

"No, I mean she likes you, likes you."

"What's the difference?"

"You know, as in really likes you, likes you," replied Lenny as he tapped Shiro with his elbow.

"Oh forget it and get the scale."

"Oh, right." Lenny reached into one of Shiro's bags and pulled out the scale. "So why was this so important again?"

"When I last came here, the unicorn we're looking for had a dragon with her."

"A DRAGON!" said a freaked out Lenny "I should of known we run into something dangerous. You never said she had a pet dragon."

"It was only a little dragon, not too bigger then you. And he looked pretty tamed and civilized to me. Anyways, I figured if we find this dragon, we'd find her." He then starts sniffing the scale, then sniffed different parts of the air. "I found his trail. This way." The two then dashed off.

TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

We then cut to them entering a shop. It had mannequins (shape like carousel horses) that wore dresses, tuxes, and other fancy outfits.

"Are you sure they're in here?" asked Lenny "This seems like the last place a dragon would go."

"Has to be," answered Shiro "His' scent is all over the place. And it's not so bad in here. I kind of like the Victorian style." Lenny just stared at him weirdly. "I said I liked them, I didn't say I'll wear them." Just then, a white unicorn came into the room. She had curly purple mane and tail, light blue eyes, and had a three-diamond symbol on her flank.

"Sorry to keep you waiting," she said "I was just finishing a dress for another client. Welcome to Carousel Boutique, where everything is sheek, unique, tramagini..." She stops in mid-sentence to take a good look at Shiro, and thought he was the most handsome stallion ever.

"Oh hi," said Shiro "Don't mind us. We're just looking around."

"Oh where are my manners, I'm Rarity."

"Please to meet you. I'm Snow Strider, and this is Lenny."

"Please to meet Mr. Strider. So what brings you to my little shop? Are you an auntapaneuer, an art collector, A PRINCE?"

"No I'm not 'rich'. But their is something you can help us with. Have you seen a plum colored unicorn and a little dragon come by here?"

"You mean Twilight and Spike? Are you friends of theirs'?" Rarity looked a little worried about this.

"No we haven't met, yet."

"Thank Celestia," said Rarity in relief "I mean, yes. Spike was here yesterday and volunteer to do some oddjobs around here, the little sweetie."

"And what about this Twilight? Where would she be?"

"Sorry, I haven't seen her all mourning."

"Drat, well thanks for your help. We'll be going now."

"Wait," said Rarity as she lifted one of Shiro's hooves. She magically used a marker and wrote something on his hoof. "Just incase thing between you and Twilight don't work out."

Shiro and Lenny then left her shop. Shiro then took a good look at what she wrote. It was her address followed by 'come late'.

"This is going to be a long day," said Shiro.

Sorry if I have to cut this short, but I wanted to finish this before I moved. Now for the disclaimers.
