Chapter 25 - "Strange Behaviors"
Fluttershy walked up to Sugarcube Corner and rang the doorbell. She stood silently for several seconds until Caboose opened the door to greet her.
"Oh. Hello Caboose." Fluttershy said.
"Hello." Caboose chirped happily.
"Is Pinkie here?" Fluttershy asked sweetly.
"Yes." Caboose replied simply.
Caboose then closed the door. Fluttershy stared at the door for a couple seconds before she realized her mistake and rang the doorbell again.
"Hello again!" Caboose said happily.
"Hi. Pinkie told me to stop by, can you go tell her I'm here?" Fluttershy asked.
"Okay." Caboose said.
Fluttershy then walked into the bakery and Caboose sprinted off to the kitchen and told Pinkie that Fluttershy was here.
"Fluttershy! Isn't this a surprise?" Pinkie said, walking out of the kitchen.
"You asked me to come..." Fluttershy said quietly.
"Oh yeah." Pinkie said, placing her hoof on her face. "Silly me. Follow me upstairs, I need your help with the babies."
Cabooses ears perked up and his pupils slowly started to dilate.
"Caboose, do you want to come meet the babies?" Pinkie asked.
Caboose stared at her and his eyes were nearly completely black.
"No." Caboose said, voice deep and raspy. "I am quite fine here, thank you."
Fluttershy stared at Caboose and felt a wave of unease pass through her and she shuddered. Pinkie eyed Caboose curiously.
"Okay then..." Pinkie said slowly, making her way to the stairs.
"What happened to Caboose?" Fluttershy asked, voice shaking. "He seemed... strange back there."
"Oh, don't worry about him. He's just playing a game." Pinkie said happily, then tightened her smile. "I think."
Fluttershy looked down the stairs at Caboose who was staring out the window, his fur seemingly darkening.
"Are you alright?" Fluttershy asked.
Caboose then shook his head and his eyes and fur went back to normal.
"No, I'm Caboose." Caboose said with a smile, voice back to normal pitch.
Fluttershy smiled at Caboose, then made her way to the room where Pound Cake and Pumpkin Cake were asleep.
"What do you need my help with?" Fluttershy asked, smiling at the sleeping foals. "They seem to be okay to me."
"Oh, I know." Pinkie said. "It's just that their first birthday is coming up soon, so I wanted you to help me plan the party."
"I would be happy to help." Fluttershy said. "What do you need me to do?"
"I want you to bring some animals so there could be a small petting zoo for them to play in." Pinkie said.
"That sounds nice." Fluttershy said with a smile. "I'll try my best."
"That's all I could hope for." Pinkie said.
The two girls then made their way down the stairs and the door suddenly swung open. Angel had somehow opened the door, sweating profusely.
"Angel, what's wrong?" Fluttershy gasped. "Where is Grif?"
Angel shook his head and started out the door, not turning back. Fluttershy’s instincts told her to not ask questions, immediately starting to follow Angel. Pinkie then shuddered violently.
"There’s a doozy a-coming." Pinkie said, running out the door.
"How do you know?" Caboose asked, galloping after Pinkie.
"My Pinkie sense told me so." Pinkie said.
Angel stopped at the entrance to the Everfree forest and started pointing inside. Fluttershy stared worriedly inside. "He went in there? Doesn't he know dangerous it is in there?"
Pinkie and Caboose then caught up to Fluttershy, noting the extremely worried expression on her face. "What's wrong?" Pinkie asked.
"Grif went into the Everfree forest." Fluttershy replied.
"We need to get the others." Pinkie gasped. "Caboose, you go get Twilight and Church. I'll go get Applejack and Rarity. Fluttershy, you go find Rainbow Dash. Meet back here as soon as you find them."
Fluttershy nodded and started flying towards where Rainbow Dash lives. Pinkie Pie started to run towards Sweet Apple Acres. Caboose looked at the forest and then ran off in a random direction, thinking he was going to the library.
"Let go you fucker." Grif yelled, kicking off a timberwolf that was biting on his leg. "Screw it, I'm just going to run."
And with that, Grif lunged forward to escape the predators. He glanced around at the trees, no discernible path, he kept running in a straight line. He knew that the timberwolves were going to catch up to him and it was only a matter of time. Then he remembered something. "I have wings. Why am I running?"
Grif then focused on his wings and flapped once, shooting through the tree branches into the air and making cuts on his body. Another flap of his wings and he soared above the tree line.
"Woah. This is awesome!" Grif exclaimed. "I'll never have to walk again."
He then straightened his wings and stared straight down.
"Now how the hell do I go back down..." Grif muttered. Grif retracted his wings and started to spiral towards the ground. "Not my best day." Grif grunted before slamming his face on the ground.
Grif tried to stand up but fell over in a daze. He looked at his body and saw that his wings had bite marks on them, and there was the occasional chunk missing from his back legs.
"They got me more than I thought." Grif said, laughing weakly. "Ow, my body."
He then heard another branch snap and glanced to where the noise was coming from. There was a pony in a robe standing still, watching from a distance. Grif sighed and collapsed on the ground from blood loss. Back at the entrance to the forest, all the ponies were gathered, all staring nervously at the forest.
"Why did he run in there?" Applejack asked. "Doesn't he know how dangerous it is in there?"
"Grif doesn't know anything." Sarge grunted. "Let's go."
"You really care about Grif, don't you Sarge?" Twilight asked.
"As lazy as that son of a bitch is, he is still one of my men. Besides, Grif and I both know that I am going to be the one that will be the death of him."
"We should hurry, it looks like the sun will be setting soon." Simmons remarked.
The group nodded in agreement and started to make their way into the forest to find Grif.

Should I? I don't know, it would be my first time.......dammit.
All that aside, another good chapter. Caboose is hilarious as usual, and Grif was done well too. As I said before, when he genuinely cares about something, he can be surprisingly smart and hardworking (but I say that using the loosest possible definitions of both smart and hardworking).
Also, I see that Grif is just as indestructible as a pony as he was as a human. He's taken shotgun blasts, explosions, Tex beating him senseless, and who knows what else. A stupid dog bite shouldn't be much trouble.
Don't mention babies around Caboose.
"My name is Michael J. Caboose and I hate babies!"
Had to say it. Robed ponies? That means either we're finally getting some antagonists or its Zecora; I'm leaning more towards antagonists. Sarge is best pony, so far; you've written him very well with all the quirks that Sarge is famous for. Only thing missing is a half-baked, overly ridiculous, Grif threatening plan. 
The only thing now we need is spiny kittens and Equestria is DOOMED!
No one but Sarge gets the right to kill Grif!
sarge is the dopest
Timber wolves: Ha ha! this is our food now!
*Random shotgun blast tears one in half*
Sarge: Don't touch my grif
Grif: Oh thanks sarge for saving me.
Sarge:Huh, save? Nobody kills grif but me.
Grif: I'm going to choose to ignore th-*Another random shotgun blast*
OH SHIT BABIES
Why is caboose afraid of babies?

its from when caboose and sarge ended up in beaver creek in season 3
345063 Are you fucking kidding me? I was JUST about to say that! I was scrolling down to the bottom of the page to type it!
I'd hate to nitpick, but I'm pretty sure that rabbits don't sweat. I remember hearing about how their ears do something that makes sweating obsolete. However i heard this a long time ago and it could be wrong.

It's MLP, man. Logic is obsolete.
2873816 your comment fits your profile pic perfectly
917282 He isn't watch season 4 or five, or three, damnit I can't remember, but he said this to an army of idiots in red and blue when he got pissed "I am Micheal J. Caboose, and I hate babies" in the voice said in where he said no to seeing the babies in this
2688330 They would have to sweat in some way, because sweat is the body's way of trying to cool itself down quickly
1351036 my name is Michael. J. Caboose. AND I HATE BABIES!
