So...BOOOORED
Sweetie Belle sat all alone in her room, staring out the window watching the town below. "It's not fair," she complained to her stuffed Creeper doll. "Applebloom is visiting Babs in Manehatten, Scootaloo is in Cloudsdale for flight training, and where am I?" She threw both her hooves up in exaggeration. "Cooped up in my room with nothing to do. I have nobody to hang out with, Rarity's locked me out of her workroom after the...incident, and to make matters worse, I lost my wireless controller to my Ponystation 4."
The Creeper doll just stared at her from it's place on her bed, it's usual, blank expression on its face. "Yes Sir Creepsalot, I've already tried that, but she still wont let me in." you start one little fire and all of a sudden you're a 'danger to fabrics everywhere' the doll just stared at her. "Nah, Twilight said she's too busy moving out whatever's left of her old library into her new castle." She then looked at her doll with a curious look. "What, I never told you about that? Well, story for another time I guess." she then walked away from her window and practically threw herself onto her bed. "ugh...so...BOOOORED." The little creeper just fell forward onto the bets mattress.
Sweetie's head suddenly shot up as she look straight at the doll. "What?" Sweetie asked as she picked the doll up with her magic. "Say that again." the doll just stared at her with the same blocky expression. "Crusading? By myself?! but I only ever do it with Applebloom and Scootaloo, why would I-" A pause. "hey yeah, your right! If I start crusading by myself, I might have my mark by the time Applebloom and Scootaloo get back! Sir Creepsalot, you're brilliant!" Sir Creepsalot said nothing as SweetieBelle levitated him back onto his pillow. "Oh man, Scootaloo's going to be so jealous!" Sweetie Belle squealed as she trotted to her bedroom door. "this is going to be great!"
---2 hours later---
This was not great
Sweetie Belle walked though the outskirts of Ponyville, her head low to the ground. Not only was the little filly unsuccessful in getting her cutie mark, but in the past two hours she has single handedly destroyed several stalls in the market, ran over several ponies on a runaway wagon, and punched a hole through the wall of Sugarcube Corner. After that last incident, Sweetie thought it would be bet if she stayed as far away from town as possible. its not like I mean to do all that, it was an accident! Sweetie Belle thought as she trotted down an old dirt path.
Its just...its just not fare... the little pony sighed as she kept her eyes to the ground. I've tried everything I could think of to get my cutie mark and for what? Nothing, that's what. I just want to be useful! I just want to know what I'm good at! I just... a single tear rolled down the filly's face. I just don't want to be useless anymore. the filly then stopped, her head still to the ground. maybe I should just go home. the filly started to turn around and started walking back the way she came...
...until she collided face first with a tree.
"OW!" The little filly fell on her haunches as she rubbed her sore nose. "What the-" Sweetie's eyes went wide as she took in her surroundings. all around her were large, dark, trees that covered the sky with their thick leaves. twisted vines and crooked branches completely surrounded her. The little filly knew exactly where she was. She was in...
"The Everfree Forest..."
The little filly's eyes darted around, trying to look for a way out "Okay, Sweetie Belle," she said nervously to herself. "no need to panic, you're only in the middle of a dark, scary forest with vicious animals and poisonous plants and-AHH!" The little filly screamed as she heard a roar in the distance. "Alright, just calm down, just go back the way you came, and you'll be out. Simple!"
...
"I CANT REMEMBER WHICH WAY I CAME!!"
Suddenly, a shrill, sharp howl filled the air around Sweetie Belle. "Wha-What was that?!" The little filly squealed as her head darted here and there, trying to find whatever made that noise. Suddenly, she head it again, causing her to scamper against the tree she bumped into earlier. "Okay Sweetie, calm down, its...not so scary the second time around" She covered her ears at the sound. "Or the third!"
Suddenly she realized something about those howls. "They don't really sound scary at all. If anything they sound...scared" She completely uncovered her ears as she listed to the noise."Something's not right here. Gasp, maybe it's one of Fluttershy's animals! She lives close to the forest, maybe one of them got out again." The little filly took a deep breath. "Okay, lost or not whatever making that noise needs help, and I'm going to help it...hopefully." Slowly, the little filly walked towards the direction of the howling.
I Wonder what kind of animal it is? Maybe a dog. Fluttershy has tons of those, but I've never heard a dog make that kind of noise before. its too high pitched. Gasp, maybe it's a puppy! But what would it be doing this deep in the forest in the first place? Well whatever it is, it's close. I just hope it doesn't decide it wants a Filly Fillet, whatever that is. I really got to ask Applebloom next time I see her. The unicorn filly suddenly stopped in her tracks. "Huh?"
The filly stopped a few inches from what appeared to some sort of hole in the ground. "What's this? Did some sort of animal make this?" Sweetie's thoughts were cut short by the same shrill howls, coming from inside the hole. "S-sounds like whatever's making that noise...is down there." Sweetie Belle shudder at what could have been down there. "Alright Sweetie, no time to be a chicken, that's Scootaloo's job. You've come all this way to see what's down there, and your going to see what!" Slowly, the little filly inched her way towards the hole. Sweat dripped from her forehead as the howling continued. Keeping her body to the ground, she practically crawled towards the edge of the hole. whatever it is, it smells terrible! she thought as she scrunched her nose. Slowly, she peered over the edge of the hole, and what she found both surprised and horrified her.
Standing at the bottom, staring back at Sweetie with glowing green eyes and a wooden muzzle was a...
"T-T-T-TIMBERWOLF!!"
