"So now wat're we gonna do?"Apple jack asked.
"I say...we go in after him" Mario said.
"But you don't understand!" Pinkey pie yelled. bouncing in front of Mario.
"That's the...Everfree forest!" Fluttershy said, and Mario's reply was.
"I don't care!"
"Fawful probably destroying my world...Starlow...Dreambert...Luigi, come with me!" Mario said, and the three of them walked over to Mario.
"Mario, that's the most dangerous place in equestria!" Twilight yelled stomping her hoof.
"I, DONT, CARE!...so, thees three are coming with me, are you gonna do the same?"Mario asked.
"Ummmmmmmmmm hehehe...maybe I should wait out here!" Luigi nervelessly said.
"That's not an option...pony's are you coming?" Mario asked. Holding out his hand, then an orange hoof smacked down on his.
"There's no way I'd let you down like that...Sugar cube!" Apple jack said.
"Yea...me nether!"Rainbow said putting her hoof on Apple jacks.
"How could I?, darling"Rarity put her hoof on what was now a pile.
"Guess I don't have a choice!" Luigi said putting his hand in. then a purple hoof, then a pink hoof.
"Wait...somepony's missing!" Twilight said. And they all looked down...and Fluttershy was sitting there.
"Fluttershy?!" They all said simultaneously.
"I-uh...oh all right!" and she put her hoof in.
"now lets GO!" Mario said. and they all entered the woods.
"So!" Popple said.
"I'll call you...Brownie, and you...Annoying orange!" Popple said with the sphere's.
"I've gotta' go look for food!" Popple said, then he put them down...and left.
"He just...left them there?" Rainbow asked. they where all hiding behind the bushes, waiting for an opining to steal them back.
"Lets go for it!" Mario said.
"I'm on it" Said Rainbow. then she left the bushes, sneaking up to the sphere's!
"HEY!!!!!!!!!!!!" The voice called from the bushes startling Rainbow.
"You...get..away...from...my BABIES!" Popple yelled. Rainbow tried to fly away...but the thief got her, in a net.
"Mmmmmmmm...I love roasted horse!" Popple said standing over Rainbow.
"But...first I gotta check the bushes, to make shure there aren't more of your Mug's" then Popple walked up to the bush.
"WAIT!" Rainbow yelled.
"What do you want?" Popple asked Rainbow.
"D-d-d" Rainbow tried to think of an excuse.
"ah HA...don't you want to tell me how such a...great crook go to equestria?!" Rainbow asked, calling him great made her want to gag.
"well...Its simple!"as Popple talked Apple jack snuck out of the bushes.
"I was just sittin' there...mindin' my own bisnuss...then!"Popple was so busy talking that he did not notice Apple jack come out of the bushes.
"then I saw a little ball, just sitting on the ground...it looked valuable soo as a great thief I took it!" Popple said in greed. Apple jack tried to grab the spheres, but Popple turned around and saw her.
"OUT THIEF!!!" Popple yelled. she ran back in the bushes...and Popple followed.
"GET OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT!" Popple yelled in rage. and the pony's and the bros ran away.
"That's it, never mind how I got here" Popple said.
"Im gonna cook...you...up!" the thief said standing over Rainbow.
Meanwhile in front of the forest
"so now what?" Apple jack asked.
"well, we lost Rainbow...but we will get her back. along with the sphere's!" Twilight said.
"I don't see how, weave dealt with that jerk before...and he's nothing but trouble!" Luigi said scratching his belly.
"yes...but we beat him 5 times." Mario said.
"w-w-wait...that's IT!!!!!!!!" Luigi yelled. the other pony's looked at each other in confusion.
"we, need to make him face a Wiggler!" Luigi said.
"oh yeah!" Starlow said coming out of Mario's pocket.
"That Wiggler...Wiggly I think?...he chased him out of wakeport" Starlow said.
"Sooo this Popple guy, his worst fear is...Wiggler's?" Pinkey asked.
"yep" Starlow replied.
"so...what the heck is a wiggler?!" Twilight asked.
"It's...like, this" Mario picked up a worm.
"But bigger!" Starlow said.
"And cuter!" Luigi exclaimed.
"stand back guys!" Twilight said. she started to use her magic, and her horn lighting up...and casted the spell. and the worm tuned giant...
"RUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Pinkey screamed. the worm crawled into the forest. Popple sat there with the sphere's.
"Good night my l'il baby's...WHAT THE?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!" Popple screamed. the worm came crashing through the woods, and scared the thief away.
"what was that?" Rainbow asked then the other pony's came rushing in.
"Are you alright darling?" Rarity asked as she used her magic to hold scissors to cut the net.
"I'm fine!" she said. Mario and Luigi grabbed the sphere's.
