A abandoned cart becomes the ultimate mobile clubhouse for Peppermill, Pipsqueak, Rumble, Featherweight, Snips and Snails. But overprotective Applebloom considers it a death trap for her beloved little brother. In order to prove her point the filly sabotages the 'maiden voyage'.

But in doing so she gets her self and the boys dragged into a mysterious forest, complete with fast growing trees and a serious head injury for herself. It is up to the colts to band together to survive the elements until rescue arrives. But not before some adolescent crushes come to light and some simmering rivalries (of both the sibling and friendship variety) boils over.

Mr. Merritt Sez: Quite possibly the biggest story project I have ever attempted. Full of character development a la Mr. M!
