The grown up ponies always said, "Don't go into the Everfree" for a lot of good reasons. The most notable being, "There are monsters in there."
....
So being the young fillies and colts they are, they decided to ignore those warnings and go in anyways to prove that they were brave ponies. Besides, hasn't doing scary things been part of Nightmare Night traditions for generations? Tests of courage and such?
Pipsqueak, son of a writer, lover of scary stories jumped at the chance to prove his bravery. Just like the heroes from his favorite books. Together with Scootaloo, and the new filly in school; "Saphira." The three young ponies journey into the Everfree Forest. But things are quickly taking a turn for the worse; something is hunting them down one by one, will the young foals make it out of the forest? Or will the monster of the Everfree turn them into pony snacks?
