All of the other 5 mares got the same letter as Twilight, except for Pinkie, who got the letter, but it was signed by Twilight.
Applejack loaded a basket with apples. Twilight filled her saddlebag with books for late night reading. Rainbow Dash packed all of the scariest stories she had and the new Daring Do books. Fluttershy brought Angel knowing that he would keep her company, also a baseball bat to defend herself. Pinkie brought cakes and balloons in her saddlebag. Rarity brought some small cucumber sandwiches she had made along with her huge fancy tent and all of her makeup supplies.
Pinkie bounced through the woods, humming to herself. She had left first, wanting to be early so she could set out the cakes and balloons. “Gee, I hope I’m not so early that I’m there before Twilight is. That would be weird.”
She looked around. She was almost at the staircase to get to the tree and there wasn’t anypony around. “Huh, I guess I am the first one. Oh, well, Twilight won't be far behind.”
She opened her saddlebag but stopped when she saw something glowing in the corner of her eye. It was a ring around her body on the ground. It was pink, the same color as her mane. She touched it, wondering what it would do. She jumped back as pink material built up around her, making a bubble. She pounded in it with her hooves, but it wouldn’t break.
---------------------
Applejack trotted through the forest, eager to get to her friends. “It’s a might late to be out in these parts.” she muttered to herself.
Suddenly she tripped on a rock and fell forward. The basket of apples on her back spilled out everywhere. An orange ring appeared around her on the grass.
“What the hay..?” Applejack said softly. A bubble started to form around her. She cried out but nopony could hear her. Then the world around her changed. All she could see was orange.
-----------------
Fluttershy trembled as she walked through the forest with Angel on her back, who was holding the bat. “Oh, I really hope there’s another pony there already.” Fluttershy squealed. “And I really hope that pony is not Rainbow Dash. I mean, she’s nice and I like her and everything, but I just know she’ll try to tell me scary stories and I’ll get scared and I don’t want to be scared unless there are other ponies there to get scared with me and help protect me from all of the scary things that could be hiding in this forest like Timberwolves or Star Spiders…”
She looked down at the ground where a yellow ring shone in the moonlight. She shrieked and jumped in terror as walls formed around her. But as you may know, Fluttershy isn’t usually very loud, so her scream couldn’t be heard by anypony except Angel who isn’t even a pony, but you know what I mean. While she jumped, Angel Bunny flew off her back and was stuck outside Fluttershy’s bubble.
“I guess there are magical sphere prisons in the Everfree, too.” Fluttershy whispered quietly.
-----------------------------
Twilight flew a few feet above the ground trying to find everypony else. She was reading and flying at the same time, which you should never ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever do because you could seriously injure yourself by hitting a brick wall or something.
All I have to say is, At least what Twilight flew into wasn’t a wall covered in really sharp spikes. While the two things may be different, that is not the case if we are talking about what it feels like.
In this case Twilight flew into a bush covered in thorns. Right when she hit it she did not at first feel the thorns piercing her skin, which is what we would usually feel first.
Twilight watched as the book about conspiracies and the supernatural fell onto an especially sharp thorn, which tore through the book.
Then suddenly the book flipped open. She stared at a picture of a triangle with one eye, a bow tie and a top hat surrounded by small symbols. She could see a six- fingered hand, a llama, a shooting star, a pair of glasses, a stitched up heart, a question mark, a star with an eye in it, some weird symbol that sort of looked like a fish, a bag of something, and a pine tree.
She blinked couple of times and the book appeared to be shut. The purple mare shrieked as she felt the needle-like plants pierce her skin.
Suddenly she was floating away in a purple bubble of madness, away from the bush, but sadly with some of the needles still stuck in her.
-------------------
Rainbow Dash was flying at a fast pace, slightly weighed down from the things in her bag. She looked around. There was a cloud up by the moon that was somewhat hand-shaped. It was floating towards the moon as if it were about to grab it. She stared at the old, dead trees which seemed to be almost reaching out to her with their branches.
Rainbow hadn’t even noticed that she was flying faster and faster. Then she stopped.
“I’m not afraid of these old trees.” she said with a nervous laugh. “I mean, come on. They just look like they’re going to take me in their clutches and squeeze me until I pop.” She stopped when she realized what she had been saying.
Her eyes widened. “No! I’m not afraid! They’re just trees!” She shouted. But as she said this, the trees were moving forward. They wrapped their branches around her and held her tight. “Hey, what gives?” she demanded angrily.
A light blue dome came down over her. The trees loosened their grip. Before she could fly away, though, the bubble did it for her.
------------------------
Rarity recoiled in disgust at the sight of all the dirty plants. “Honestly, I love Pinkie, but sometimes she has such bad taste. I’ll have to have a word with her later.”
She saw something move out of the corner of her eye. She looked through her pink-tinted sunglasses at the shadows. “That’s funny.” she mumbled. “I could’ve sworn I’d seen..” But then that something moved again.
“Alright, whatever you are you’d better show yourself.” Rarity said nervously while using her straightening iron as a sword.
The bush shook again and a little black mouse hopped out. Rarity lowered her “weapon”. “Aww, aren’t you so cute?” Rarity droned as she patted the animal on the head.
She screamed as the mouse’s eyes turned red and it grew razor sharp teeth. She started to walk backwards. She knew she was cornered when she felt her back rub against rough bark.
She saw a white ring on the dirt around her. She squeaked and ran away from it, but the ring followed and stayed circled around her.
“Stop following me!” she whined as she ran.
Suddenly, she banged her horn on something hard. She looked up and saw that a white dome had been constructed around her.She screamed in such a way that you would hear in a murder mystery movie.
