The next morning, baby Quackers and baby North Star wandered back outside followed by the Cerberus and Sid. As promised, the Cerberus and Sid were going to help the baby ponies find their fathers. The further they wandered through the forest, the scarier the forest began to look. Flowers were replaced by moss and brown shrubs and the trees seemed to take on a life-like appearance that stared menacingly down at them.
"I think we're getting close to the monster," baby North Star whispered. Baby Quackers looked over at her and nodded. The two of them walked quickly behind Sid and the Cerberus. As they walked out of the forest, the sun nearly blinded them. They had been in the dark forest so long that they hadn't realized it was still daylight.
"Are we there yet?" asked baby Quackers. "My feet are starting to hurt."
Sid pointed his finger in the direction of a large cliff surrounded by another forest. "We're going down there," he stated simply. "It will probably take another hour or more." Baby Quackers groaned inwardly.
"Come on baby Quackers," said baby North Star. "We made it this far. We might as well keep going. Just think… we're going to meet our dads today!" Baby Quackers smiled.
"Oh yeah," she said excitedly. "Let's go!" She began running toward their next destination, but was pulled back by her tail. She looked back to see her tail in Ray's mouth.
"We're not out of danger yet," said Hal. "We still have to be careful and stick together."
Twilight nuzzled 4-Speed's picture then placed it under her pillow. She looked out through her window at the dozens of ponies running around trying to find the missing babies. As she looked back at her pillow she suddenly realized where the baby ponies had gone. Without letting anyone know where she was going, she quickly winked out. It was a long way to where the big brother ponies were, so she had to wink in and out a few times at different distances. She stopped just a few kilometers from where the big brother ponies were camped out when she saw baby North Star and baby Quackers walking alongside the Cerberus and Sid. Rather than approaching them, she thought it would be best if she stayed behind and kept an eye on them. Maybe it would be nice to let the baby ponies meet their fathers.
