> An Unusual "Twilight Time"
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

	Twilight stood before her young students, the Cutie Mark Crusaders, watching them progress tremendously after many months of attending what they had named “Twilight Time.” Sweetie Belle had gone from lifting silly things like brooms to unlocking doors, and even writing simple things with her magic. 
Scootaloo had surpassed fixing scooters to helping fellow Ponyville ponies with fixing things such as wagons, gates, and even helping Applejack out with problems in the barns at Sweet Apple Acres. Apple Bloom's efforts in growing plants had become a great help in the fields of Sweet Apple Acres as well, especially in the summer when Applejack and Big Mac would start planting some seeds in the fields.
The three young fillies were doing great at progressing in their greatest goal; getting their cutie marks, but still remained blank flanks, even after learning all that they had learned in Twilight Time. Despite them not getting their cutie marks, the CMC were not going to give up on Twilight Time, because they enjoyed their time with Twilight, and were learning more than they were before they started attending Twilight Time, so they continued to learn from Twilight regularly.
“You three are doing great,” complimented Twilight. “I'm really proud of all of you.”
“Thanks, Twilight,” said Apple Bloom.
“If it weren't for you, we'd still be where we were when we first attended,” added Scootaloo.
Twilight smiled, noticing Sweetie Belle struggling in her own little corner. She walked over to the young unicorn, hoping to find out why she was straining herself so much.
“Come on!” exclaimed Sweetie Belle. “I've almost got it!
Sweetie Belle's horn tip started to glow, but just as she was about to cast the spell, she collapsed from exhaustion.
“Drat!” yelled the young unicorn. “One more try!”
Twilight intervened in Sweetie Belle's final attempt.
“Sweetie Belle, you look like you are going to pass out,” assured Twilight. “It would probably be best if you take a break. You don't want to strain yourself too much.”
“But, I'm so close!” said Sweetie Belle. “I know I can do it!”
Twilight sighed. “You remind me of myself when I was learning how to do magic. I was willing to push myself as far as possible to achieve my goal, but in doing so, I gave myself a horn sprain.”
“What's that, Twilight?” asked Sweetie Belle.
“It's an injury that only unicorns can get, and is caused when a unicorn pushes themselves too far, causing a nasty reaction in the magic line. The magic line is what allows a unicorn to do magic, but if you push that line beyond it's limit, it'll swell shut for a short time, seizing the unicorn's magic abilities.”
“That doesn't sound like fun!” shrieked Sweetie Belle in a worried tone.
“It isn't, so will you take my advice and take a break from this spell.”
“Okay, Twilight,” agreed Sweetie Belle.
“Good.”
At that moment, Spike walked into the room carrying a platter with four separate sandwiches on it.
“Did somepony's order some sandwiches?” asked Spike.
“Oh boy! Lunch!” yelled the CMC in unison.
The three fillies exited each of their separate corners and grabbed a sandwich, causing Spike to lose his balance, and the platter to fall down on his small body. Twilight used her magic to grab her own sandwich.
“Now, girls, what do you say to Spike?” asked Twilight.
“Thank you, Spike,” said the CMC in a mild tone.
Twilight gave the CMC a look, showing they had another thing to say to Spike, which all three of them recognized.
“Oh, and sorry,” they said with sheepish smiles.
Spike popped out from under the platter. “Ah, it's alright. That's what these scales are built for,” said Spike, showing off his scales.
Twilight smiled, and rolled her eyes a little at Spike's humor, as she heard the clock strike.
“Time's up, girls,” assured Twilight, leading them out of the library. 
“Already?” said Scootaloo. “Time sure does fly by.”
“I'll see you three next time,” she said leading them to exit. 
As the three fillies followed Twilight, all of them noticed that Twilight's cutie mark was flashing.
“Twilight, why is your cutie mark flashin'?” asked Apple Bloom.
Twilight was surprised, as she lifted her wings, noticing that her cutie mark was indeed flashing.
“Oh. No worries girls,” said Twilight. “This just means... she paused. “THE MAP!” she yelled.
The CMC looked at each other, confused.
“I need to gather the others,” said Twilight, rushing toward the exit.
The CMC struggled to keep up with Twilight, wondering why Twilight was in such a hurry.
“Twilight, is everything okay?” asked Sweetie Belle.
“Every thing's fine, girls.” assured Twilight. “I just need to gather the others, because the reason my cutie mark is flashing is because the map is calling us to do something. 
The CMC were still confused, but just followed Twilight's lead, as they made their way out of the castle, along with Twilight, shutting the castle door behind them.
“I'll see you girls next time, but for now, I need to gather up the others.”
“Okay, Twilight.” said the three fillies.
Twilight rushed off into the distance, leaving the three fillies alone at the castle entrance, still a little confused on what exactly was going on.
“Well, now what?” asked Apple Bloom.
Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo raised their front legs, expressing a “I don't know.” 

ENTER THEME
> Twilight's Secret
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

	The three fillies stood on the front steps of Twilight's castle, wondering what had just happened.
“Well, that was unusual,” said Scootaloo.
“I can agree to that,” agreed Sweetie Belle. “Definitely unusual.”
“Well, crusaders, what do we do now?” asked Apple Bloom.
“Didn't you have to help Big Mac out, down at Sweet Apple Acres?” asked Scootaloo.
“Oh right!” exclaimed Apple Bloom. “We're havin' a sale on apples today, and I totally forgot  I had to take Big Mac's place, due to him bein' sick!”
“Whoa. Calm down,” said Scootaloo. “You're starting to sound like a drama queen.”
“You don't understand!” snapped Apple Bloom. “I still need to buck apples from the trees, before the sale, which is in a couple hours!”
“Why didn't you buck them this morning?” questioned Scootaloo.
“Because, Applejack wanted to wait until later, when it was shady,” concluded Apple Bloom.
“Well, Applejack will still be able to help you,” assured Sweetie Belle.
“I hope yur right, but with her being called by that map, I could be on my own,” said Apple Bloom.
“Nonsense. You always got Sweetie Belle and I,” assured Scootaloo.
Sweetie Belle expressed a strange look, as Scootaloo caught sight, before she had a chance to hide her expression.
“What are you hiding, Sweetie Belle?” asked Scootaloo.
“Well, the spell I was working on before might be able to help,” confessed Sweetie Belle.
“Why didn't you say that before?!” said Scootaloo in an excited tone.
“Because, I'm afraid that if I try to do it again, I might give myself a horn sprain,” she replied.
“A horn sprain?” said Scootaloo. “That's just something Twilight's telling you to scare you. It only an old mare's tale.”
“I don't know, Scootaloo. She sounded pretty serious about it,” said Sweetie Belle.
“Trust me. Twilight only told you that, so you'd stop straining yourself,” concluded Scootaloo.
Sweetie Belle wasn't sure what to think, so she attempted to ignore Scootaloo's words as much as she could.
“We need to get that spell book, so we can help Apple Bloom out,” said Scootaloo.
“It sure would be a lot easier with magic,” confessed Apple Bloom.
Sweetie Belle was cornered, and made her decision out of peer pressure.
“Alright, let's do it,” she agreed. “However, we'll have to come back when Spike's gone, along with everypony else.”
“Alright then,” said Scootaloo. “We'll come back in an hour,”
Sweetie Belle couldn't help but feel guilty, as she agreed to Scootaloo's devious plan.



The Cutie Mark Crusaders returned to Twilight's castle, hoping to retrieve the spell book that Sweetie Belle had been using earlier. Apple Bloom stood on all four of her small hooves, as Scootaloo stepped onto her back, so they could open the door to the castle. Scootaloo gripped the door handle with her hooves, attempting to open it, but unfortunately for the young fillies, the door was locked.
Apple Bloom grew tired of the wait. “What's takin' so long?!” she snapped.
Scootaloo had her teeth on the doorknob, as she lost her balance, and fell over, accidentally knocking over Apple Bloom as well, and barely missing Sweetie Belle. Apple Bloom and Scootaloo made groaning sounds, as they stood back up.
“What's the big deal, Scootaloo?!” snapped Apple Bloom.
“Hey! It's not my fault the door's locked!” claimed Scootaloo.
The two fillies continued to argue, as Sweetie Belle grew irritated.
“ENOUGH!” yelled Sweetie Belle. “Seriously, guys. We're never going to get our cutie marks if we waste more time arguing than crusading.”
Apple Bloom and Scootaloo looked at each other, realizing Sweetie Belle had a point. 
“Sweetie Belle's right,” said Scootaloo.
“Yeah, we're not goin' to get our cutie marks arguin' all the time,” confessed Apple Bloom.
Sweetie Belle smiled, as she thought of something else in her mind, as if an imaginary version of her sister were convincing her.
“Besides, I don't think we should be snooping around Twilight's castle” said Sweetie Belle. “Especially when she's not home. What kind of ponies would we be then?”
“Sheesh,” said Scootaloo. “Since when did you get so strict?”
“She does have a point though, Scoots,” claimed Apple Bloom.
“Do you two want to get your cutie marks or not?” asked Scootaloo.
“Of course we do,” replied Apple Bloom.
“However, is this the best way?” added Sweetie Belle.
“Well, Rainbow Dash says that if somepony wishes to accomplish their life goal, they must do whatever it takes, therefore, this should be an acception, and Rainbow Dash represents loyalty,” claimed Scootaloo.
Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle thought about Scootaloo's point, wondering if this was an acception. “Well, if Rainbow Dash says so, I suppose this is acceptable,” agreed Apple Bloom.
“I suppose so, too,” said Sweetie Belle.
“That's the spirit!” encouraged Scootaloo. “Now, we just need to figure out how to get the door open.”
“Leave that to me,” said Sweetie Belle. “During our time with Twilight, I've learned how to unlock doors from the inside and outside.”
“Now we're getting somewhere!” said Scootaloo.
Sweetie Belle's horn glew, as she focused on Twilight's door, and unlocked it with ease, seeing it was one of the easier techniques for unicorns to do.
“Way to go, Sweetie Belle!” exclaimed Apple Bloom.
Sweetie Belle bowed her head, similar to how any performer at a certain event would to a crowd after their performance, as she pushed open the door using her magic.
“Why don't Scootaloo and I search the library, while you keep watch, Apple Bloom?” said Sweetie Belle.
“Sure. Just hurry, before we draw attention,” agreed Apple Bloom.
“No need to worry, seeing the book shouldn't be too hard to find,” assured Sweetie Belle.
“If you two are done jabbering, could we please get a move on?!” snapped Scootaloo.
“Oh, sorry, Scootaloo,” apologize Sweetie Belle, as she made her way into Twilight's castle, shutting the door behind her.
Inside, Scootallo and Sweetie Belle made their way to the library, which looked the same as before, as Sweetie Belle made her way to the spot she was practicing in earlier. She walked over to area, looking for the spell book, but strangely it wasn't there anymore. 
“Find it, Sweetie Belle?” asked Scootaloo.
“For some reason, it's not here,” replied Sweetie Belle.
“What do you mean?” questioned Scootaloo.
“I mean, it's not here!” she snapped.
Sweetie Belle searched around the area, but the book was nowhere to be found, and that's when she remembered that Spike always cleans up their messes when Twilight Time ends.
“Uh oh,” said Sweetie Belle. “I forgot that Spike always cleans up our messes afterwards.”
Scootaloo sighed. “Ugh. He couldn't have hidden it too well, so keep looking.”
“Why don't we just come back when Twilight is back from wherever that map sent them?” Sweetie Belle suggested. “Plus, we promised Apple Bloom that we would help her sell apples later today, seeing Big Mac is sick.”
“Come on, Sweetie Belle,” persuaded Scootaloo. “That spell could help a lot! It could knock down the apples faster than bucking."
“I really don't think we should be here if Twilight's not home," claimed Sweetie Belle.
“I'm sure she wouldn't mind,” replied Scootaloo. "You need to calm down, Sweetie Belle,” said Scootaloo. “For one thing, you're starting to sound like your sister in a dramatic situation, Twilight is in Canterlot, and that spell you've been working on could really come in handy." 
Sweetie Belle became annoyed from Scootaloo referring her to Rarity when she does her famous whining, plus she was a little afraid to try and push her magic limits too far, because if a unicorn pushes themselves too far, they can get a horn sprain. A common injury that prevents the victim from performing any magic for a short amount of time.
“I'm just not that good at the spell yet. What if something goes wrong?"claimed Sweetie Belle.
Scootaloo grew annoyed. “For Celestia's sake! If you are going to keep complaining, I'm out!” exclaimed Scootaloo. “When you find the book, meet Apple Bloom and I at Sweet Apple Acres, Rarity Jr.” joked Scootaloo, as she made her way out of the library.
Sweetie Belle rolled her eyes, as she heard the door shut, annoyed at Scootaloo's humor. She had decided to use her magic to scramble through the stacked piles of books, checking the covers and titles, but she wasn't having any luck. Her magic resources were running low, so she decided to stop using her magic, and resorted to manual labor.
A large amount of time had passed, as she grew impatient, to the point of giving up.
"Where could Spike have put it!" she snapped. "Scootaloo and Apple Bloom are going to think I  ditched them!" 
Sweetie Belle knew that she had to hurry, so she moved to the opposite side of the room, where there was two more piles of stacked books. As she reached for the top book of one of the piles, she accidentally managed to knock over the entire pile, immediately being clobbered by books. She poked her head out the large sea of books, immediately starting to complain.
“Ugh! I give up!” she snapped. “I'm going to end up lost in a sea of books!”
She grew so angry she let out an snort of anger, sounding like a full grown mare. Just as she was about to give up, she looked down, only to see a familiar book.
"Wait, is this it? she asked herself, looking at the beige book bound with faux leather, titled “Magic Guide for Unicorns: Volume 2: Intermediate Spells.” "Finally! Now, I can go help Apple Bloom and Scootaloo!”
Sweetie grabbed the book, and headed for the door, until she sparked an idea.
“Perhaps I should practice the spell, so I don't look like an idiot in the orchard,” she said, as she made her way to her spot during Twilight Time, and prepared herself, by opening the book to the bookmarked page.
She looked over the spell instructions carefully, then she got in her usual stance whenever she does a spell. She strained herself to the point of where she started to sweat.
“Come on, stupid horn!” she yelled. “Work! You were earlier!”
Suddenly, her horn started to glow, so she entered the final steps of casting it, but she was having a hard time getting her horn to cast the spell. She continued to strain herself, until suddenly there was backfire, causing her to fly backwards into a statue of Twilight's which was a horse's head, and knocking it off of it's stand.
"Owwww," she groaned, as she noticed what she had done to the statue. “Oh no! Twilight is going to kill me!”
Suddenly, Sweetie Belle noticed that the statue wasn't broken, and had metal grips attached to each side, as if it were a secret spot. Sweetie Belle debated on searching the secret spot.
“I shouldn't even be snooping around here in the first place, but thanks to Scootaloo, I'm stuck in this mess,” she said to herself, turning to shut the secret opening, but something within the statue that caught her interest; a gold plated book with a silhouette of a dragon on the cover. 
“Now, what is this doing hidden? Sweetie Belle asked herself, as she admired the book furthermore. 
> Stranded
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

	The book had no cover, but the gold was enough to intrigue her, as she attempted to pick up the book with her magic, but was shocked as she noticed that her magic abilities had been seized. She knew now that she had strained her magic too far, and had a horn sprain. 
She didn't want to pick up the book, for it was a special book in no doubt, and seemed as if it were never touched by anypony before, yet her curiosity levels were getting the better of her. She looked around for anything to pick it up with, and noticed a small bag in a corner.
“I suppose that could work,” she said, as she grabbed the leather bag, and carefully used her hooves to slip the book into the bag, trying not to damage the book. 
She knew that Twilight wouldn't be happy if she damaged the book in any way, and that Twilight would be able to spot any damage; even the smallest signs of damage, seeing she was pretty smart when it came to her books, and just as strict. 
Sweetie Belle managed to settle the book into the bag with no damage, and carefully set the bag on the floor, after gently transporting the book from deep inside, onto the wooden floor. Once the book was safely on the floor, Sweetie Belle opened the book to the first page, skimming through the pages, amazed at what she was reading.
The book told the story of an ancient dragon created by Celestia and Luna, named, Faltor, whose sole purpose was to protect the two princesses from threats outside their castle walls. Faltor had managed to protect the two sisters for over three-thousand years, before he became very ill, following a strange storm formed by the pegasi, before the earth ponies and unicorns had settled their differences.
To protect Faltor from the pegasi's wrath, Celestia and Luna gave him one final task, and created a domain that only they alone could access, where he would be safe for eternity; Dragon's Trench. Faltor remained in the trench, but after one-thousand years, Princess Luna became corrupted, becoming more jealous of Celestia, and much more greedy.
Seeing the signs coming, Celestia returned to Faltor, hoping for the dragon to grant her strength against her sister. As a result, Faltor managed to unlock Celestia's true potential, giving her enough strength to take on Luna, and use the Elements of Harmony, but only if necessary. 
Sweetie Belle was intrigued, despite history not being her most favorite subject. However, the part about Faltor unlocking Celestia's true potential seemed to be of much interest, seeing it sounded like somepony getting their cutie mark. Sweetie Belle placed the book back into the bag, and rushed out of the library.
Insert Line
Sweetie Belle rushed to Sweet Apple Acres, meeting up with Apple Bloom and Scootaloo sitting in their small clubhouse, waiting for her to show up. Sweetie Belle startled the two fillies, as she yelled from outside the clubhouse windows.
"Girls!" she yelled, causing them both to jump.
Scootaloo and Apple Bloom looked out the window of their clubhouse, noticing Sweetie belle with a large smile on her face. 
"It's about time!" exclaimed Scootaloo, as Sweetie Belle made her way into the clubhouse.
"We were just takin a break from the apple stand,” said Apple Bloom. “Best grab an apple, before we eat all of em!" 
Apple Bloom stuffed an apple in her mouth, as Sweetie Belle grabbed one for herself, seeing she had work up an appetite after all that had happened trying to find the spell book.
"Sorry I'm late, girls, you would not believe what I had to go through finding the book. Also, you gotta remind me to return, otherwise Spike and Twilight are going to know we've been snooping around. I was going to but.....
"Just get to the point!" Scootaloo interrupted, annoyed from Sweetie Belle's constant complaining.
"I found a book!" exclaimed Sweetie Belle.
“That's what you've been harping on about?” said Scootaloo in an annoyed tone. "Congratulations. You found a book in a library." 
Sweetie Belle rolled her eyes. “Just wait until you see it!” she yelled, pulling the book out of bag with ease.
Scootaloo and Apple Bloom were stunned at the book, noticing it was made from real gold, and was unlike anything they had ever seen.
“Where the hay did you find this?!” asked Apple Bloom.
“Yeah! I've never seen anything like it!” added Scootaloo.
“It sorta found me,” confessed Sweetie Belle. “I tried to perform that spell as practice, but it backfired, and I crashed into Twilight's statue, which turned out to be a hiding spot for this book. Out of it, I managed to get a horn sprain, but it'll pass.”
“So, what's so special about this book?” asked Scootaloo.
“Well, it could be the answer to getting our cutie marks, girls!” explained Sweetie Belle.
Apple Bloom nearly spit out her apple, as she was surprised at Sweetie Belle's words.
“Are you serious?!” asked Apple Bloom, nearly choking on her apple.
“According to the book, a dragon created by both Princess Celestia and Luna that now dwells in some area of the Everfree Forest called, Dragon's Trench, has the ability to unlock a pony's true potential,” explained Sweetie Belle.
“So, you're saying that if we can find this dragon, we can get our cutie marks?!” asked Scootaloo in an excited tone.
“That's exactly what I'm saying!” replied Sweetie Belle. “So, what do you say girls? Up for some Everfree Forest crusading?!”
“YEAH!” said all three in unison. "CUTIE MARK CRUSADER EVERFREE ADVENTURERS!" 
"Eenope!" spoke an unknown voice.
All three of the CMC jumped at the sound of the new voice, only to notice that it was Big Mac outside of their clubhouse, eavesdropping on their conversation.
"Big Mac, I swear I'm gonna put a bell on ya!" Apple Bloom yelled. "Also why aren't ya in bed? Yer still sick." 
Big Mac looked down and his stomach growled giving the girls all the information they needed. 
"Wait, what do you mean “nope?” said Sweetie Belle. “I know we can get our cutie marks this time! I just know we can!" 
"Is it because of where were goin?" Apple Bloom asked knowing what her brother was thinking.
"Eeyup" confirmed Big Mac.
"But, it's not like we've never crusaded in the Everfree Forest before." addressed Sweetie Belle.
"Please, big bro?" pleaded Apple Bloom.
"Eenope,” concluded Big Mac, with his voice sounding raspy.
"Fine." The three chorused. Sweetie belle and Scootaloo sat down next to Apple Bloom, feeling satisfied Big Mac left to grab an apple from the stand. 
"What are we going to do now!?" asked Apple Bloom.
"Who said our adventure was over?" replied Scootaloo, with an evil smirk.
"I know that look, and know what you are up to, Scootaloo,” assured Sweetie Belle. “I'll get in colossal trouble if I go now!”
"Hold on, don't tell me you guys want to disobey my big bro?” said Apple Bloom. “What if the others found out? We won't be crusadin' for weeks, because I'll be stuck with my brother's stinkin' chores as punishment." 
"Stop being a bunch of foals!” snapped Scootaloo. “If we have as big a chance getting our cutie marks in our lives, it's now!” 
“I have a horn sprain because of you, Scootaloo!” Sweetie Belle snapped. “Also, what if we are attacked by something?! I have absolutely no line of defense, because it's jammed for awhile!” she exclaimed, pointing to her horn. 
“Oh, quit being a Rarity will ya?” said Scootaloo. “If you two aren't going to go, I'll go myself, giving me bragging rights on the schoolyard, when I have my cutie mark!
"I'm not being Rarity!" Sweetie Belle snapped. "I'm just saying this is a bad idea."
“Suit yourselves. I'm off to get my cutie mark,” concluded Scootaloo, as she rushed out of the clubhouse.
“Scootaloo, wait!” exclaimed Apple Bloom. “You don't even have a map!”
Apple Bloom was wasting her breath, because Scootaloo was already out of sight, before her words could even be heard.
“We need to go after her!” exclaimed Apple Bloom. “Without a map, she's going to get lost!”
“I suppose you're right, Apple Bloom,” confessed Sweetie Belle.
“Let's hurry, before she gets too far away,” concluded Apple Bloom, grabbing a map.
Once the two fillies had their map, they trotted out of the clubhouse, trying to catch Scootaloo riding her scooter in the direction of the Everfree Forest. The two fillies trotted faster than ever before, slowly catching Scootaloo, already on the outskirts of the Everfree Forest.
“Scoots, wait for us!” shouted Apple Bloom.
Scootaloo heard Apple Bloom, and stopped her scooter, right before the entrance to the Everfree Forest.
“Well, looks like you two decided to come after all,” she said with a smirk on her face.
Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle just looked at her, letting out sighs of ignorance.
“What are we standing around here for?!” Scootaloo claimed. “Let's go get our cutie marks!”
The three fillies scurried into the Everfree Forest, not knowing what to expect on their journey.



The CMC wandered around the Everfree Forest, using the map they had as a guide, but were having no luck in progressing over their constant debating over which way to go. 
"Ok, so we need to go this way," said Scootaloo, pointing to the left of her, looking at the map.
"Your readin' it wrong,” debated Apple Bloom. We need to go this way." 
"No. We need to go this way?" Sweetie Belle argued.
The three continued to bicker over which way to go, noticing it was getting dark, and the Everfree Forest trail was getting more harder to see.
"Does anypony even know where we are?" Apple Bloom asked starting to get worried.
“Of course. We're right here,” assured Scootaloo, pointing to an area on the map.
“You sure, Scootaloo?” asked Sweetie Belle. “It seems like we've wandered farther than that.”
“Trust me. We're in Thickets Brush,” concluded Scootaloo.
"Girls, let's just go back. It gettin late," suggested Apple Bloom, noticing the moon starting to rise.
“I have to agree with Apple Bloom, Scootaloo,” stated Sweetie Belle. “The moonlight isn't even bright enough to show the trail back to Sweet Apple Acres.”
Scootaloo herself was starting to get worried, and had no choice but to agree.
"Fine. I suppose you're right,” she agreed starting to shiver.
“Good. Now, we just need to find the trail and we're home free,” said Sweetie Belle.
“Only one problem with that,” stated Scootaloo. “Where's the trail?”
“Are you blind?” said Sweetie Belle. “It's right... 
Sweetie Belle was shocked, when she noticed that the trail had disappeared, as if it were never there. The three fillies started to get worried, because they had managed to get themselves lost in one of the most dangerous places in Equestria. All three of them immediately panicked, after realizing that they were lost.
“HELP!” yelled all three in unison, but it was useless. Nopony could hear them, and they were stranded in the Everfree Forest for the night.
