A few minutes later the 8 heroes were still walking on the road.

"No." Rarity said while walking "My eyes need a rest from all this icky muck." Rarity said a bit disgusted as the trees began to grow thicker and the surrounding area was getting darker "Well, I didn't mean that literally." Rarity said a bit confused.

"That ancient ruin could be right in front of our faces and we wouldn't even know it." Twilight said a bit worried.

Then we saw the signature mist reappearing under their feet/hooves as it then flew towards an tree and got into it turning the tree and the surrounding ones to get scary.

"I didn't see you there, my apologies." Rarity said after accidentally bumping into Rainbow Dash.

"Right here..." Rainbow said after the bump "Guh..." Rainbow ended.

"Oh wait, I think I stepped in somethin’'" Applejack said after stepping into mud as then Fluttershy started screaming because she saw a scary tree "It's just mud." Applejack said in a motherly tone before seeing the scary tree too before she jumped back as everyone got together and screamed.

Then Cat Noir puts his hand on the tree.

"So how are you mister tree" Cat Noir asked.

"Cat Noir! It could eat you!" Ladybug said.

Then Cat Noir jumped back with his stick pulled up and Ladybug spinning her yo-yo before they heard laughter as they turned to Pinkie who was laughing madly and making funny noises.

"Pinkie, what are you doing?! Run!" Twilight called.

Then Pinkie started singing before Twilight interrupted her.



"Tell me she's not" Twilight said worriedly.

Then Pinkie went towards Twilight and moved from one side to the other while singing.

"She is" Rarity said a bit shocked.

Then Pinkie started jumping around the others while singing.

"No way" Rainbow said while shocked.

Then Pinkie hung on Rainbow's cheek singing before she singingly went to a tree and continued to sing before singingly laughing turning the tree back to normal making the others gasp as she then returned to sing with the others doing everything they could to make the trees turn back to normal and when some trees turned back to normal she started laughing and making an super high tone before she and her friends fell to the ground laughing before Ladybug stood back up.

"That was fun but now we gotta get going and Pinkie thanks for the motivation song" Ladybug said.

"No problem Ladybug" Pinkie said.

Then everyone stood back up before going back on the road.
