Pony of Everfree

by Wild Vine


Chapter 5

(A/N: Apologies in advance for the editor being a jackass. You'll see what I mean later.)

The vines he once used before to tie down the dragon back in the forest slithered out, this time about four of them as he used them to walk up along the wall. The ends of the vines were filled with sticky sap as he resembled a spider, almost walking up along the side of the wall to the ceiling. There he took a closer look at the damaged bark as his eyes began to glow. He stomped his hoof onto the ceiling, next to the hole itself, the bark of the tree seem to regenerate slowly before his friends down below.

The ponies watching were amazed, somewhat weirded out by his vines but it seemed that he was capable of performing magic without a horn. The tree slowly closed up, like a wound being healed, as he walked from the ceiling down the side of the wall towards them. He stopped midway and looked at them.

"Um.. sur.. prise?" Wild laughed slightly, trying to keep a chipper attitude.

"Bravo, sweetie, bravo!" Rarity praised. "I must say those.. extra limbs must come in handy."

"I do hope she's not implying what I think she is.." Wild Vine thought.

"So is that your talent? The ability to repair broken wood?" Fluttershy asked, flying where the hole once was.

"Not really, though repairing is part of my powers.. you see, these extra limbs are actually vines that I have inside my body. They help me do all sorts of things, can be used to defend myself or when I'm lazy can be useful on getting me things." Wild explained, he noticed Twilight was already writing all of this down, using her horn to levitate a quill and scroll, as it seem to write whatever he said.

"Um, Twilight... yall can relax with the quill, I don't think now's a good time, sugar cube." Applejack nudged her.

"Oh, sorry.. you're right.. Spike, anything yet?" Twilight asked turning to her assistant, as she did he burped up a new scroll, as it magically appeared after the flame. "Oh, good timing."

Spike took the scroll in hand, opening it as he began to read, "Dear Twilight, it's come to my attention that you have met a pony that I haven't actually heard of, though indeed I've read the story behind this pony. I wouldn't mind seeing him. However, today I'm rather busy elsewhere. I've included in this letter several train tickets, and the permission for you all to rest in my castle. I will be there tomorow afternoon. Princess Celestia."

The tickets for the train fell from the scroll, onto the floor from which Twilight levitated them into her bag as Wild Vine was on the floor by then, his vines returning into his back.

"We can chat later, at the least I'm very impressed Wild. You have a very interesting power I'd like to get into sometime." Twilight giggled as she and her friends prepared for the journey to the train station.

They arrived after a long walk to the station, the smell of the smoke, burning coal and the loud whistle of the train were all new to Wild Vine. At first he was a bit scared on approaching the metal beast, but Fluttershy tried her best to calm him down and in the end he gave in. Giving the tickets to the conductor stallion, the ponies boarded the train.

"It's going to take at least a day to get to Canterlot." Twilight informed everyone as they started to settle into their bunk beds.

"How yall likin' the train so far, sugar cube?" Applejack asked, noticing that Wild had already claimed a bed and was rolling around in its soft cushions.

"Aww... ain't he just the cutest little stallion you've ever laid eyes on?" Rarity commented, watching Wild roll around until he was really comfy. He was used to sleeping on the hard earth and slept with warm moss, but nothing beats a good soft bed.

"I call top bunk with Wild." Spike announced as he jumped for the bunk only to stop midair, levitating away from his desired bunk.

"I'm afraid I am claiming this fair bunk above my Wild Vine, you can take some other one." Rarity said as Twilight nudged her, the magic she consentrated around Spike was broken for the time being, allowing him to dash into the bunk.

"Now be nice and let the boys share these two bunks, we girls will take these. Now stop fussing around."

Twilight and her friends unpacked their things to their respective bunks. The cart they stayed in buckled, the train was about to set for it's course and out the window Wild started to notice movement. The train was finally off.

The mares began to chat almost instantly the train began to move. They spoke of Canterlot, the sites they'll be visiting, Wild Vines abilities and powers. Meanwhile Spike and Wild were playing a humble game of chess, trying to concentrate but it was already difficult enough with the constant noise from the others.

"How many games are we on now?" Spike asked, he had lost count.

"I haven't the slightest." Wild laughed.

After a while, the mares were still chatting and Spike was trying to nap above in his bunk, Wild was staring meaningfully out of the window, watching the landscape race by. He was impressed and very eager to see these different landscapes one day, though at the moment he was thinking about this Canterlot his new friends spoke of, not to mention this Princess Celestia.

"Wild sweetheart, are you alright?" Rarity asked, taking this oppertunity to chat him up.

"Hm? Oh hey Rarity. I'm doing just fine, enjoying the ride and scenery." Wild chuckled.

"Mmm.. I see... would you mind if I join you?" She giggled, climbing into the bed with him.

"Uh oh, she's at it again.." Twilight whispered to Pinkie Pie.

"At it again? What's she doing.. again?" Pinkie asked, confused.

"Careful Rarity, he might do something weird to you." Rainbow Dash warned, in a smug tone.

"Give me a break Rainbow..." Wild said to himself, kinda feeling bad, not sure what he did to her to make her so angry towards him.

"Now you hush up there Rainbow Dash, and stop being so rude. Dont you know your manners?" Rarity defended.

"Who wants cupcakes?!" Pinkie pie asked, as she had a tray of them balanced on her head.

"I'd love one!" Wild smiled, using his vine, slithering from his back, and out in plain sight for every pony to see.

Rainbow Dash gasped, "See! What I tell ya! Green snake.. thing..."

Everypony began to laugh as Wild snagged two cupcakes and stuffed them in his mouth. Rainbow felt confused, and even more angry.

"What's so funny!" She demanded.

"We've all seen the 'green snakes'. They're vines not snakes, it's Wild Vines special talent, that and several other talents I'm sure he can show us when he's good and ready." Twilight informed her.

"You're joking... that's his talent..?" Rainbow Dash started to realize how much of a jerk shes been lately. "Oh.. well.. I still don't trust him, but I am apologizing for being rude." She huffed and went back face first into her pillow.

"Atleast she apologized... it's a step into the right direction." Wild Vine snuggled into his pillow, until Rarity flipped him on his back as she was right ontop of him.

"Now then, where were we my darling? " Rarity looked deep into his glowing red slit eyes.

"Um... well not really here yet... ehehe." Wild laughed nervously," Um, someone help pleas- mnhnph!"

Rarity started to kiss his lips deeply, not giving him any chance of calling for help, as he was flailing around for awhile. Luckly Pinkie Pie got Twilight's attention quickly.

"Uh oh... quick use a sleeping spell!" Spike urged, as he heard the commotion from atop his bunk.

"U.. um.. ok just hold her still." Twilight said, her horn began to glow.

"I don't think holding her still will be a problem..." Fluttershy mentioned, seeing that Rarity was already right ontop of Wild, kissing more hungrily than before.

With a flash of light that illuminated the cart they were in, Rarity was sound asleep right ontop of Wild Vine, who gasped for air after that assult on his own lips.

"You ok Wild?" Twilight asked.

"Haa.. haa... y-yeah... that was really.. unexpected I must say.." Wild coughed.

"You're lucky you and me are good friends, otherwise I wouldn't let you hit on my lady...." Spike said, he was upside down holding onto the sides of his bunk peeking down at him and Rarity snuggled together.

"Ehehe, I'm sorry?" Wild Vine smiled, as Spike returned to bed. Rarity had him snuggled pretty tight, unabling him from escaping.

"I guess we should all go to sleep, eh girls?" Twilight suggested as she snuggled into her bed.

"Yeah, alot of fun awaits in Canterlot!" Pinkie back flipped into her top bunk, which was above Twilight's while Fluttershy was under Rainbow's bunk.

"It's not like I have much choice... good night everypony or good.. afternoon at least." Wild yawned, using his vine to get a hold of the blanket to pull it over him and Rarity. (Editor note: Seriously, he's so lazy he can't get her off himself.)

Everypony fell right to sleep, the train's smooth moments helped relax the ponies. Canterlot was still far away, the afternoon seem to go by fast, the sun descended into the mountain side, night shortly following. As Wild slept he was missing home alot, his dreams filled with memories of the forest he lived in, the adventures he endured and, most notably, the mysterious shadow he's been chasing.

He wasn't sure as he dreamed of one of his adventures, who or what the shadow in the forest that followed him was. A friend or predator, he never got his answer, and being away from the forest seemed to be keeping him from knowing. Still, it was nice to get out at least, he thought.

He woke up shortly after his dreams were halted when Rarity seemed to shake off Twilight's magic from before and was back to kissing her sleeping stallion, as she was right on top of him, her front legs holding him down while she kissed him deeply. Though when she pulled away from the kiss, her eyes became a different color, a dark sinister purple as the rest of her body became a shadow-like mist.

Wild Vine gasped and woke up, this time Rarity seemed to be asleep right beside him, looking away towards the window. Seems like what he expierenced was a nightmare of the creature that he ran into back home. He panted and sighed deeply.

"Who was.. that..." He groaned to himself. He sighed and returned to his pillow, in the opposite direction of Rarity.

Rarity eventually shifted in her sleep to a position where she can cuddle him from behind, giving Wild a bit of a startling sensation go down his spine, but he quickly adjusted and allowed her to until morning anyways.

"Maybe it wasnt such a hot idea remaining in bed with her... atleast the sleep spell is in effect... or so I hope.." He yawned and eventually fell back asleep.

The sound of the whistle blowing loudly seem to wake him up this time, morning had come sooner than he expected. He woke up once again next to Rarity, the spell seemed to have lasted up until the loud whistle blowing. She turned to him, sitting up from the bed, blushing. Wild rubbed the back of his mane, yawning as she kissed his cheek, just to make sure he knew she awoke.

"Good morning my wittle Wildy." She giggled.

"I do hope she's not gettng the wrong idea here.." Wild Vine climbed out of bed, "Good morning Rarity, everypony."

"You two sleep all comfy?" Rainbow Dash joked.

"If by comfy you mean uncomfortable.." Wild mumbled to himself.

Grabbing their luggage, they felt the train come to a halt. Wild followed the group of mares, luckly Rarity seemed most eager to get off the train, as she took lead. Stepping out onto the cold stone pavement was an odd feeling for Wild as he took his first steps into Canterlot. He looked around for awhile, taking in on his current surroundings. Sadly, it was abit dishearting for him to see a lack of tree life, compared to Ponyville anyways.

"So what do you think of Canterlot, Wild?" Fluttershy noticed he was falling behind as the group started to walk into town.

"It's.... certainly a different vibe here than back in Ponyville. Not to mention a few other differences..." Wild replied, catching up and walking side by side with Fluttershy.

He noticed that Rarity's little infactutation over him seemed to be halted, or at least distracted by the glamour and rich lifestyles of this fancy place. The more they walked into the town, the more Wild felt out of place, noticing all the mares and stallions here seemed uptight and well-spoken.

"I don't really get this place..." Wild said to himself, as Pinkie over heard.

"What's not to get? Its a magical city of wonderment and awh!" Pinkie shouted as she went around literally awhing at mostly any pony and anything she saw.

"Um.. that's not what I meant exactly. I don't really understand the whole... rich culture thing. Back home all we needed for survival was food, shelter, and the breath of life itself seemed to be as rich as I'll ever get." Wild examined the nearby shops, seeing the fancy mares in their expensive attire, stallions talking about businesses.

"Canterlot, well, it's just a fancy place for the wealthy and beautiful stallions and mares to live. Some prefer top class and pampering than what you're used to Wild Vine." Twilight explained.

"To each their own I suppose.. if I can find a tree, I could learn about this place and it's culture far more than what I'm gathering." Wild said following closely to the group as to not get lost.

Eventually after a long walk, Rarity had to stop by each and every shop and cafe, meeting other fancy ponies and buy more materials for her shop, levitating them up the castle pathway. Twilight introduced to Wild the means of currency, lecturing him in the history of Bits, as to her knowledge, luckly Wild was interested in learning as he walked beside her keeping good memory of her teachings.

Wild soon smelled the scent of grass, trees and flowers. He dashed ahead of the group as they arrived in the castle's royal garden. The guards who stood at the entrance saw a quick green blur swish by them as they noticed Wild rolling around in the meadow.

"I say..." One of the guards said as Twilight and her friends approached.

"Hello, um, did you happen to see a green stallion gallop this way by any chance?" She asked as the guards turned to her.

"'fraid so, miss Twilight. He went running into the garden. Rolling around in the grass." The other guard answered.

"Thank you, um, were here under Celestia's order, an invite to stay at the castle to introduce that same pony to her. I'm sorry about his um.. behavior." Twilight laughed abit nervously.

"It's alright, I suppose he's just taken with the garden's natural beauty, as most of the town folk are here... go right on inside." The guards stepped aside allowing them to enter.

The garden itself was a public area, filled with pathways that turned, going who knows where. Several ponies sat on benches, walked along the path and some were whispering about an odd pony talking to a tree, having a meaningful conversation with it. Twilight and her friends followed the rumors and eventually found Wild, among a crowd of other ponies giggling and gossiping about him.

"Um, Wild?" Twilight squeezed through the crowd as she tugged on his tail.

"Oh.. hey. Sorry, I uh guess I went and overreacted didn't I?" Wild rubbed the back of his head as he stood up. "And looks like I drew a crowd...."

"Perhaps we should go and settle in our room, before we draw any more unwanted attention." Rarity insisted.

They quickly left the park before anyone started questioning about this bizzare pony who talks to trees. Climbing up the staircase towards their little cottage, Wild seemed to slow down at the base of the steps, taking a few steps up as he looked around. Curious as he was to explore, he didn't want to cause any more commotion than he already caused. Still he sat outside for awhile, the view seemed to be mezmerizing, inside the mares unpacked their belongings. It was a rather large home, fit for a small family, enough room for each of them to have their own respective room.

Twilight noticed shortly after unpacking that Wild wasn't inside with them. She took a quick look out the window seeing the sad pony sit on the lone stair, looking up at the sky watching the pegasi fly around freely.

"Wild you ok?" She asked.

"Huh? Oh yeah I'm fine, just spaced out in my thoughts. When do I meet this princess of yours?" He replied, wagging his tail.

"Um.. one moment, I'll have to send her a note that we've arrived, odd she wasn't at the station to greet us. But she must be busy." Twilight went back inside quickly getting Spike, a quill and scroll.

Wild chuckled and went back to sky gazing, the only means of him relaxing. The clouds seemed to float along pretty quickly, only because rascally pegasi playing around with the clouds as if they were toys.

A few hours had passed, Wild had not moved from his spot since Twilight asked about him. Luckily, during the few hours he was alone, Twilight had recieved a letter informing her that Celestia was indeed a bit late, but there's a party this evening that she's attending. Upon hearing that piece of news, Rarity quickly began to stitch up a few dresses for her and her friends, since looking good was a must for this party.

Twilight peeked out the window, "Wild? Aren't you hungry?"

"Hm? Oh.. I am a little, but I wouldn't want to be a burden." He rubbed the back of his head.

"Nonsense.. here, we do have a few extra bits we saved up for the train ride, but since that was free.." She levitated a small pouch necklace, carefully putting it around his neck.

"Very kind of you, I suppose there's a shop in town that sells food..." He guessed as he stood up, stretching his legs.

"Plenty of dessert cafes around here too! You gotta try the Canterlot mega cone!" Pinkie appeared as usual out of nowhere it seems.

"I'll keep that in mind." Wild laughed, "I'll be fine."

He trotted down the path back into town, but before he was out sight Twilight shouted.

"Oh wait! Take Spike with you, he can guide you around!"

"Say what now?" Spike popped up beside Twilight as Wild Vine's vine wrapped around his waist, picking him up and pulling the little dragon towards him, and onto his back. "Well.. it's more safe than Twilight's teleporting, I'll say that much."

"Have fun you two!" Twilight said as Rarity called her to help her out with the dress designs.

Soon Wild and Spike trotted into the caste square, things were busier than before they had arrived. Several well-dressed ponies walked among the paved walk ways, most going to brunches, to visit other rich friends and such. Spike enjoyed some gemstones Wild managed to purchase on his own, nothing too expensive. They sat at a busy looking resturant, most of the ponies staring in Wild's general direction, some of the mares whispering about his odd apperance, the stallions had different opinions that Spike advised not to let them get to him.

"Geez, is everypony in this town a bit... odd to you?" Wild asked, as he ducked his head under the table.

"Seems that way, but then again they haven't seen a pony like you before." Spike said in between chewing the gemstones in his mouth.

"What makes me so different?" Wild asked, oblivious that he was using his vines to hold up a sandwhich, it's contents made of flowers and bits of hay. This sure did draw a crowd of curious ponies.

"Um... your guess is as good as mine?" Spike pointed out his vine.

"Ah... these.." Wild laughed nervously.

"I say, who let this low-life in such a high class place?" Said a stallion amongst the crowd, as they all had a laugh.

Groaning, Wild consumed his meal, leaving the money on the table, Spike jumped onto his back. The two walked off away from the crowd, to at least somewhere with more privacy. The crowd of ponies only seemed to follow them all the way around the town, Wild feeling very irritated at this point as he tried to relax under a nearby tree. Spike had a fat stomach from all the gems he consumed throughout the tour Wild took.

Feeling that enough was enough, Wild turned to the crowd and spoke, "Are you are all done following me? I'm not some wild animal."

"It can speak, how interesting." one mare said in a smug tone, and once again the laughter began again.

Wild groaned, Spike stood up, or waddled to his feet, "Hey, you leave him alone."

"Spike.. it's alright, I'm fine. They themselves are drowning in their own smug attitude, no need to drown along with them." Wild said, walking away with Spike on his back.

"My, big words for such a low class pony." Another smart remark from the laughing group of ponies.

Wild did feel even worse, but he knew well not to let the harsh words of others get him too down. After all, he's faced far much more worse things in the Everfree Forest, a few smug pony remarks failed in comparison. The sounds of their annoying voices seemed to dissappear, grown tired of failed remarks. Wild and Spike relaxed near the fountain, once again Spike had a new bowl of gems Wild bought him to eat.

The fountain water seem refreshing, as a light spray of the fountain cooled Wild Vines body as well as spirit.

"Hey.. Spike... am I really that werid?" He asked, noticing that Spike was busy eating.

"Mmmph?" He gulped his gems down, and sighed happily, "You're awesome, Wild Vine. I think you're the most unique pony in all of Equestria."

Wild smirked, noticing it was getting late, or it seemed that way. Up in the sky a few dozen pegasi were collecting what looked like grey clouds into one big bunch.

"Uh oh, we should get going, looks like the pegasi scheduled a shower. Good thing tonight's party is indoors." Spike suggested, hopping onto Wilds back. "To our cozy temporary home!"

The two headed back as quickly as they could before the rain would begin. Luckly they arrived without much to get in their way, climbing up the stairs as the rain began to pour down, lightly at first but soon would build up. A knock on the door, Twilight quickly responded, using her magic to open it, letting the boys inside where Rarity was just putting the finishing touches on her projects.

"Uh, seems like a tornado ran through here..." Wild looked around, fabrics and wooden horses were all over the place.

"She works pretty fast, I don't recall all these things in here before we left.." Spike walked around the clutter.

The girls were all dressed up in beautiful dresses, and decor all in a mere several hours. Hard to believe but this was Rarity who was known to get things done, fashion wise anyway. The party wasn't for another 2 hours Twilight thought, as Rarity was finishing her dress. she noticed Wild and Spike were lounging on the bed nearby watching them all, Spike most noteably eating more of those gems he had saved from before.

"You two must've had some fun in town, right?" She asked, remaining still.

"Sort of, as much as I enjoy going to new places, this wasn't the best. The ponies here are too high strung and up tight. Obsessed with personal looks over actual personaility." Wild said, his head snuggled into a nice pillow.

"That's Canterlot, sweetie, as much as I hate to agree with you. Some ponies here are as you say uptight, however it is for the good of high class, I suppose." Rarity said, clearly not thinking to deep on the subject when the dress at hand was far more important.

"I'm not so sure about this.. formal party then. I had a bad enough time walking into town. A party with all those ponies seems to have chaotic outcomes."

"Nonsense, sugar cube." Applejack smiled, wearing her outfit for tonight's party, "Why, ya'll are gonna have fun this evenin'. And don't you worry about them uptight ponies. For the record, they get on my nerves too."

After awhile of watching Rarity work her magic on Twilights dress, she set her sights on Wild Vine.

"Now then.. hmm, what can we do for you..." She paced back and forth, looking up and down at his figure. She finally had a spark of inspiration and immediately went to work.

Wild watched her move quickly with her fabric choices, stitchings and measurements of his body size, eventually seeing that she had made a black vest for him to wear with a fedora matching hat. She took one good long look at him, before levitating a brush to start brushing his mane and tail to at least look more appealing than it was currently.

Wild felt silly, he was used to his mane and tail looking untidy, it's what kept him warm in harsh winters after all. The party of the evening was now moved indoors as Twilight led them to the ballroom area of the castle. Wild noticed several other colts and mares in expensive looking outfits. Ahead was two double doors with two guards standing at each side, watching the colts and mares walk inside the festive looking room.

"Oh my, such lovely decor." Rarity smiled, looking around once they were inside.

Twilight stopped at the door to speak with the guards, as her friends began to mingle amongst themselves and some friends they knew in Canterlot. Wild, however, managed to find a quiet corner, as he sat with his back against the wall, watching the others have fun. Music was playing, rather dull for Pinkie's taste as she trotted up to the band and asked for a nicer, more upbeat tone, which, after awhile of Pinkie's persuasion, did they gave in and obliged.

The night seemed to drag on forever in Wild's opinion, watching the mares and stallions dance and mingle, he seemed out of place. Twilight finally walked in and joined her friends.

"The princess is due to make an appearance this evening at any moment." She said with a smile, "Where's Wild Vine?"

"I, uh, dont know.." Flutthershy answered, looking around.

"He's probably just using the bathroom or something." Rainbow Dash said as she was more interested to see if her precious Wonderbolts were attending.

It took awhile for them to notice, but evnetually they found Wild Vine leaning against a corner at the far end of the ballroom. However, the trumpets blared loudly and the princess finally arrived, the music and everypony suddenly stopping with what they were doing. The double doors swung open with Princess Celestia walking inside, aside her was her sister Princess Luna, smaller in comparison to her sister.

Everypony bowed in respect, all except Wild, for he didn't understand the concept of royalty on his part. The two alicorns sat proudly on their thrones as the party slowly stood back up.

"Princess Celestia and.. Luna?" Twilight and her friends approached them.

"Yes, greetings Twilight Sparkle and thy friends." Luna spoke, for once not using the 'tradtional Canterlot voice'.

"Hello, my little ponies. How are you all?" Celestia smiled, "Having a good time, I hope."

"Just fine, we have somone you should meet." Twilight turned around, to notice Wild had left, in his place was the fedora and vest Rarity made him. "Oh.. um... he was here."

"Are thou speaking of that green stallion?" Luna asked.

"Oh yes.. did you see where he went?"

"I believe he went in that direction, dost thou know him?"

Twilight explained the whole story while her friends went off in search of him. After awhile of searching the ballroom and the area around it without having to go outside, Wild seemed to have just disappeared. Re-grouping back in the ballroom, Twilight finally finished explaining.

"Thy really needs to make thy story less.... lengthy." Luna said, after hearing the entire thing.

"I'm sorry." Twlight laughed to herself, she noticed her friends returned, " Oh good, any sign of him?"

They had shook their heads, Twilight sighed turning to the princesses. Before speaking on, a guard galloped into the room and made his way to the princess. He whispered something to her, the expression her face seemed to be one of conern.

"Girls, I suggest we head to the garden now.. apparently there's something going on that needs our attention." She announced.

"Wild.." Twilight said to herself as they galloped out of the ballroom, the music suddenly stopping as the guests followed.

Outside near the private garden was a crowd of guards were trying to get a pony under control who snuck into the garden without permisson. Twilight and the others soon arrived, the princesses just behind them. They noticed that the guards were using their magic to create a intensifyed barrier to hold what they hadn't a clue until they approached them. The guards stepped aside, forming two neat straight lines, the barrier was made clear and to everypony's surprise it was Wild Vine.

"I will not be treated as a wild animal!" He shouted, his vines whipping at the barrier repeatedly, his hind legs kicking as well which seem to almost shatter it. He was in a panic it would seem, continually slamming his body against the barrier, cracking it even further.

"What is the meaning of this?" Celestia asked, in a demanding tone.

"Your majesty. This stallion snuck into the private garden. Upon asking him to leave he refused, we had no choice but to use force. That is when he attacked us with his bizarre snakes that seemed to be coming from his back." One of the guards said.

"Attacked? Was any of you hurt?"

"Um.. not... hurt exactly... but we had full rights to defend ourselves."

Celestia took a long look at her guards, not one of them were showing any sign of being hurt, or at least a scar or scratch on there armored areas. She found it hard to believe, even with Wild's display of panic. She commanded her guards to release the pony at once, with hesistation did the barrier-like bubble slowly dissappear, so did Wild's panic as he backed into the tree.

Luna and Celestia walked towards the scared pony, Twilight's over active imagination started to clutter her mind on possible punishments Celestia would've given him. Though banishing to the Everfree Forest would've done him a favor really, as Twilight thought. What could they possibly do to him? The suspense seemed to eat her mind.
