As Dylan flew over the Everfree Forest his crying has come to a stop, not being able to cry anymore due to lack of tears. Dylan saw a new place, the water and the trees have stopped; Dylan landed knowing that he was on the other side of the Everfree Forest. Feeling the heat from the sun he took of his jacket and laid it out next him.
Rainbow Dash flew down to Sweet Apple Acres and knocked on the barns door. Applejack opened the door and said "Hey Rainbow, what'cha doin' here at Sweet Apple Acres?"
Rainbow replied smiling a bit, "Oh nothing, just wanted to let you know that Dylan went to the other side of the Everfree Forest."
Applejacks eyes opened wide in concern, "What?!"
"Yeah, I know, isn't it great? Now we don't have to worry about him."
"Rainbow, I don't care how much he has hurt ya, it doesn't matter what he has done, that doesn't mean he should go out into Everfree so he could rid his life!"
"But we didn't want to see him anyway…"
"That doesn't matter, nopony, even one that did the same as him, deserves to die. You don't have to come, but I'm going to tell the others and go find Dylan to help him out of there," after she finished speaking she ran off to Twilights library.
Applejack ran and told the others about Dylan running off into the Everfree Forest, while most agreed to help find him, Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy protested. Pinkie Pie protested because of how mean Dylan was, and Fluttershy protested because of the Everfree Forest.
"I'm not gonna help out the meanie mcmeaner pants! Not after what I heard he did to Rainbow!"
"Pinkie, we need everypony to help, please, come with us."
After a few seconds of thinking she said "Fine, but I'm not gonna like it."
Fluttershy on the other hoof was hiding under her bed. Not coming out for any reason.
Applejack, Twilight, Rarity, and Pinkie Pie all ventured into the Everfree Forest looking for Dylan.
Rainbows brain started to work as she realized all that has happened, she remembered what Dylan said the night before, and she knew she had to help. Rainbow flew to the Everfree Forest also looking for Dylan.
Dylan just sat there, staring at his jacket. He heard a roar that sounded like it came from a Manticore; he didn't care about it, so he just continued looking at his jacket. Doing nothing was easy for Dylan since he used to camp with Boy Scouts; they didn't do much but sat and talked all weekend.
Dylan heard the roar once again but a lot closer, when he looked to see where it came from, the Manticore was rushing towards him.
Dylan acted fast and picked up his jacket, he started to fly away from the beast, but it clipped his wing, cutting off part of it. Dylan felt the blood rush out of his broken wing, he kept trying to dodge the Manticore but failed each time, getting cut on his face, chest, and forelegs.
His sight started to get blurry as he saw ponies running out of the forest and starting to fight the Manticore. The ponies, while trying to fight the Manticore, were getting beat themselves, but not as bad as Dylan.
Rainbow flew in from behind the trees giving the Manticore a hard blow to the head, knocking it out. Dylan not being able to see the ponies, could recognized that rainbow mane anywhere, he knew his friends came to help him.
His sight got even blurrier as he started to smile, soon after, he fell to the ground.
As a pool of blood started to surround Dylan the five ponies started to run towards Dylan. Rainbow picked him up and flew over the Everfree Forest, trying to get to a hospital as fast as she can.
As she flew Rainbow looked at Dylan's passed out, cut up, and bleeding body, a tear fell on his chest as she started to cry.
Minutes later Rainbow and Dylan arrived at the hospital; the nurses and doctors saw him bleeding and took them into a room, Rainbow sat on a chair in the waiting room, hoping Dylan is alright.
As she waited for a response from the doctor her friends, including Fluttershy, arrived at the hospital, sitting next to Rainbow. Nopony said a word as the waiting for the doctor, as they all hoped Dylan would make it out of this.
A doctor came out of the hallway and found the group of friends; he walked up to them and started talking, "About your friend…"
