A New Tale In Equestria.

Necessary stop.

______*The next day 9:32 AM*______

Gwen and Fang helped get the tents packed up while Skitter and Dust watched the area.

Twilight walked inside the tent that Roxanne was inside, she gently picked the fox up with her magic and carried her outside.

Derpy and Rarity were building a makeshift stretcher for Roxanne as Twilight had decided that it would be a good idea.

Fang was lost in thought as he helped Gwen with the tents, he looked over at Roxanne and sighed sadly, Gwen took notice of this and walked over to her friend. "What's wrong?" She asked the wolf, Fang shook his head and looked at Gwen. "Nothing big, just finding myself missing my old friends, you know, Roger, Sarah, Foxy, Bonnie, the old man, Springy, hell even Bob." He replied while painfully mentioning the last name.

Gwen smiled and put her hoof on Fang's shoulder. "Who's Springy?" She asked.

Fang chuckled. "An old friend, used to work with me and Golden a long time ago." He replied.

Gwen looked at Derpy and sighed. "How old is Golden Freddy anyway?" She asked.

Fang put his hand to his chin in thought. "I don't really remember, around twenty for certain, I remember working with him and Spring a long time ago." He replied blankly.

Gwen felt a presence watching her and quickly looked around. "So how old are you?" She asked curiously.

Fang sighed. "I don't remember, I'm older then Freddy that's for sure." He replied shamefully.

Gwen was confused. "Then why do you call Freddy an old man eh, old man?" She asked teasingly.

Fang bit his lip. "Because he always acted older, you've seen how I act, I think I'm just now growing up." He said.

A groaning came from behind Gwen and Fang and they quickly turned around, they were overjoyed at what they saw.

Roxanne held her head as she groaned in pain. "What was that?" She asked with confusion.

Fang rushed over and held Roxanne tightly receiving a grunt from the fox. "Ouch, Fang, you can let me go now, before you kill me." She said with a rough voice.

Roxanne was not going to lie to herself, while the embrace hurt, it felt good. "Ok big guy, you need to let me go, or I'll pass out again." She said painfully.

Fang loosened his grip but did not let his partner go. "Don't ever do that again, please." He pleaded sadly with tears going down his face.

Roxanne patted Fang's back. "Deal, now can I stand up?" She requested.

Fang smiled and helped Roxanne up. "You sure your ok?" He asked with concern.

Roxanne got a better look of her surroundings, and chuckled. "Yea, that feeling is gone now." She replied happily, she took a deep breath and let it out with a sigh of relief, however this sigh sounded wrong.

Fang noticed it along with Gwen and Twilight. "Roxie you alright?" Fang asked worryingly.

Roxanne raised an eyebrow and let another sigh out but this sound was far more noticeable, it sounded robotic, not as lifelike.

"That's odd, lets see, my breathing is more steady, and it sounds robotic, don't tell me I've gone robo again." She pondered.

Twilight was in shock, she shook her head and got in Roxanne's face. "But, but this, this is impossible!" She asked frantically.

Fang pushed Twilight away from Roxanne. "You need to calm down, and don't do that again." He snapped protectively.

Twilight recovered from the shove and stared at the ground sadly. "Sorry." She replied sadly.

Gwen walked up to Roxanne and gave her a grin. "You alright Roxie?" She asked with concern.

Roxanne nodded at Gwen and gave her a playful grin, she looked at Fang who was still glaring at Twilight.

Gwen watched as Roxanne quietly snuck up on Fang and jump on his back. "Hey Fang, miss me?" Roxanne asked innocently.

Fang smiled as Roxanne wrapped her arms around his neck. "Good to see your the same." He replied happily.

Gwen smiled and walked over to Derpy. "Hey Ditzy." She said cheerfully.

Derpy chuckled at her name. "What has you so happy?" She asked before looking at Gwen.

Gwen smirked. "Do I need a reason?, but if I needed one, it would be that Roxanne is better." She said happily.

Derpy gasped and rushed over to Fang and Roxanne, she looked at Fang and slapped him.

Fang held his cheek in shock. "What was that for?" He asked with genuine confusion.

Roxanne laughed at her partner's confusion. "Fang, you need to work on your people skills." She said teasingly.

Fang let out a sarcastic laugh. "Yea yea." He countered sarcastically.

Twilight and Rarity watched as the former animatronics and the two Pegasi bickered playfully.

"Maybe this trip wont be so bad after all." Twilight said.

Rarity shivered as Fang and Roxanne rolled around in the mud. "Yes, perhaps it will, although I wish they would act more responsible." She replied shakily.

Skitter and Dust scanned the area and saw movement in the bushes, Dust looked over at Skitter who nodded.

Dust smirked and flew towards the bushes while Skitter flew down to the camp.

Roxanne was 'attacking' Fang and was laughing happily.

Fang rolled away but soon found himself pinned down, he laughed and looked at who was holding him down to see Roxanne.

Roxanne gave Fang a triumphant smile and began tickling him causing the wolf to laugh uncontrollably. "Oh, your ticklish." She said playfully.

Fang laughed helplessly and clumsily put his claws on Roxanne's chest and began tickling her.

Roxanne tried to stifle a laugh but soon found herself laughing as Fang turned the tables.

Fang pinned Roxanne down and was laughing happily. "Your ticklish as well partner." He replied cheerfully.

Gwen and Derpy were laughing at Fang. "Fa-Fang, your tail, its hilarious!" Derpy said between breaths.

Fang looked at his tail to see that it was making a heart. "Damn traitor." He scolded his tail.

Roxanne stopped laughing and attempted to get up. "Alright Fang, help me up." She ordered.

Fang grabbed Roxanne's arm and pulled her up. "We're even?" He suggested.

Roxanne nodded. "Until round two." She concluded.

Gwen heard someone landing near her and looked over to see Skitter walking over to her. "What's up Skittle?" She teased.

Skitter sighed in annoyance at her nickname. "We got company." She replied.

Derpy looked around and saw Dust fly into the bushes. "Well I think Dust found it." She said as the others looked in the direction Dust flew in.

Gwen flew in the direction that Dust flew towards and Derpy followed, they landed and almost instantly found themselves under attack, Gwen managed to roll away and kick her attacker, Derpy unintentionally blasted her attacker with psychic energy sending him or her flying.

Derpy rushed towards the direction of her attacker and found said person, it was a Changeling, male by the looks of it, the Changeling seemed to be unconscious so she picked him up and ran towards the camp.

Gwen stood up and tackled her attacker to the ground, she had forced her attacker out of the bushes and threw the attacker towards the open field, it was then that Gwen gasped and rushed over to her attacker. "Hey, you alright?" She asked worryingly.

The attacker was a male Changeling, he scoffed. "Yea right I'm not falling for, DASH!" He shouted before backing away quickly.

Gwen chuckled. "Nice to see you too Tracker." She replied teasingly.

Tracker looked around. "Where's Trapper?" He asked with concern.

Gwen rolled her eyes and looked around to see Derpy running out of the bushes with an unconscious Changeling on her back. "Found him." Gwen said.

Tracker teleported in front of Derpy only to receive a quick psychic blast to the chest. "OUCH!" He shouted.

Gwen rushed over to Derpy and explained the situation. "So its all a misunderstanding?" She asked.

Tracker stood up. "Yes, now will you put my brother down, I know he's clingy but still." He said.

Derpy gently set the unconscious Changeling on the ground. "Sorry about that, still don't have control over my new powers." She said apologetically.

Tracker kneeled down to his brother and slapped him. "Wake up stupid!" He shouted.

Gwen laughed at Tracker's antics and looked around. "Hey where's Dust?" She asked.

Derpy looked around but found no trace of said Pegasus. "I don't know." She said.

A rustling came from the bushes and Dust flew out of them, and fell on the ground.

Dust grunted in pain as she quickly got back up. "Gwen, help me out." She said.

Gwen flew over and Derpy followed. "What is it?" She asked.

Dust grunted. "Its our old buddy, what do you think?" She countered.

The bushes rustled furiously and soon a figure leaped out and attacked Dust.

Gwen immediately recognized the figure, it was her old friend Firefly. "Firefly?!" She asked with shock.

The Pegasus looked at Gwen and quickly calmed down, she got off of Dust and backed up. "Dash?" She asked.

Derpy was confused, one moment the Pegasus was attacking Dust and the next she was calm, the mare in question had a slightly dark pink coat with a blue mane and tail with a similar cutie mark as Gwen, she had lavender eyes and seemed to be covered in leaves.

Gwen grinned and walked up to Firefly. "Long time no see." She said.

Firefly nodded and approached Gwen. "Yea, long time no see." She replied.

Gwen and Firefly stopped a few inches from each other, and conked heads, both mares laughed and hugged. "Don't try to recover your head yet, we still got most of the others to talk with." Gwen said.

Firefly smiled and looked at Derpy and whistled. "Ooh, who's this Dashie?" She asked.

Gwen gave Firefly a stern look. "No touch, Firefly meet Derpy, Derpy meet Firefly." She said.

Firefly gave Derpy a playful wink before looking at Gwen. "So Dashie, where are the others?" She asked.

Gwen chuckled. "Over there." She said pointing at the camp.

Firefly shrugged and began walking over to Trapper and Tracker, she conked her head with Tracker and shook Trapper. "Wake up bonehead!" She shouted.

Trapper's eyes flew open and he accidentally hit Firefly in the head with his own. "Ouch!" He shouted.

Firefly wobbled as she walked towards the camp. "Well, we, we at least got that done." She said before falling over.

Gwen walked over to Firefly and looked at her. "You ok?" She asked teasingly.

Firefly laughed sarcastically. "Ha ha, I'm just going to lay here until the world stops spinning." She replied.

Gwen sat down next to Firefly. "What are you doing here Firefly?" She asked.

Firefly chuckled. "Nothing much, just hunting, what are you doing here?" She countered.

Gwen smiled. "All of us are going to visit Vulture in the Grayroot forest, you in?" She offered.

Firefly smirked. "It wouldn't be right to let my little sis go off on her own would it?" She replied.

Tracker and Trapper stood up and walked towards the camp. "Where's Gilda?" Trapper asked.

Gwen shrugged. "I don't know, she flew off somewhere last time I saw her." She replied.

Trapper sighed and continued into the camp.

Tracker rolled his eyes and followed his brother.

Derpy walked over to Gwen and Firefly and sat down. "So Gwen, you never told me you have a sister." She questioned.

Gwen groaned. "Please don't remind me." She said painfully.

Firefly laughed softly. "Dashie, I'm not THAT bad am I?" She asked innocently.

Gwen looked at her. "Fire, its ok, they know." She replied.

Firefly smirked. "Didn't think you would let that secret get out Gwen, your getting sloppy." She teased.

Gwen smacked Firefly on the shoulder. "Shut up, blame Fang." She countered.

Firefly stood up. "And who's that?" She asked.

Gwen looked at the camp and saw Fang and Roxanne. "The wolf." She replied.

Firefly looked at the camp and saw the two former animatronics. "Whoa, are they tame?" She asked.

Gwen sighed and stood up along with Derpy. "They aren't animals, in a sense, they're actually just like us in a way." She said.

Firefly shrugged and walked to the camp. "So what, are we going to have an army soon?" She asked.

Derpy sighed and covered her eye. "No, but we are going to need supplies." She replied.

Gwen nodded. "Yep, there should be a lake we can fish from nearby." She said.

Firefly continued walking and noticed that they had quite the group, two unicorns three changelings four pegasi and two animals. "We aren't exactly a normal group are we?" She asked.

Derpy stopped walking and looked around, she noticed that they were missing a Pegasus, she looked up and saw that Dust was on a cloud. "There she is." She whispered.

Firefly walked over to Skitter and the two conked heads.

Gwen walked over to Fang and Roxanne. "You two up for a hunt?" She asked.

Fang and Roxanne quickly nodded and followed Gwen who was heading to the forest. "We're going to go get some food!" Gwen shouted.

Derpy looked at Gwen and nodded. "Be safe." She said quietly.
