Once Sweetiebell was safely in the Everfree, she now felt free to move in closer to where Rarity was walking. As she was tailing her big sister, she looked around, admiring the scenery around her, before she gets caught. She looked up to see a family of bluejays, singing along to what Rarity was humming. Looking forward, she saw two white bunnies hopping in front of The Element of Generosity.

"AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH. Aren't you two just the cutest little things."

Sweetiebell watched as Rarity nelt down to nuzzle the two furry little things. The bunnies hopped away as she picked up the pace towards her friends, but stopped short as her sister looked in horror.

"This can't be happening!THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING!!!!!!!"

Sweetiebell was horrified at what Rarity was shouting about. But as she got a little closer, she calmed down, knowing that.....

"I just stepped in mud! My beautiful and polished hooves are ruined now! Now what are they going to say when they see me looking like THIS!!!"

Rarity, now in a 'bad' mood, galloped in a hurry, getting to the picnic."I sure hope I don't run into anything else."

Sweetiebell, now seeing her sis gallop away, hurried along with her, trying to be as quiet as possible. She stopped shortly just as she was about to step on a tree branch. She stepped over it and when she looked up, she didn't see Rarity anywhere. She started to panic, worried about where she could have gone. If Fluttershy was with her, she would have asked the animals where Rarity went, but she wasn't. Frantically, Sweetiebell ran off into a random direction, wanting to get out of the Everfree.

As she was running, she ran into somepony, falling over whoever she ran into.

"I'm sorry! I didn't mean to follow! I just wanted to go on the picnic and....."

"Sweetiebell, it's me."

She opened her eyes, and to her relief, she found Scootaloo, lending her a helping hoove.

"Scootaloo! Am I glad to see you. But, wait. What are you doing here?"

"I'm here following Rainbow Dash to the picnic. Wait, are you following Rarity as well?"

"Yes. And if you're following RD and I'm following Rarity. Then that means Applebloom's following AppleJack!"

"Then let's go find Applebloom then!"

"No need to. I'm already here."

Surprisingly, they both looked over to their left to find Applebloom standing with them.

"Where's AJ? Did you lose her as well?"

"No. She's over there." Pointing with her hoove, she gestured beyond the trees to see an orange/yellow pony, going into the clearing.

"CUTIE MARK CURSAYDERS, PICNIC FUN TIME. YAY!!!!!"

As the CMC went on to their picnic fun, no pony noticed, but in the waters edge, and in the shadows of the trees, they didn't see the dozens and dozens of red, hungry eyes, watching them, ready to ruin their picnic with blood and screams.
