One sunny day in Ponyville, Fluttershy was playing with her little critters and Angel started hopping away, Fluttershy ran after him. Angel jumped on a pole, which a hot air balloon was tied to, his foot untied the rope and the hot air balloon went flying away towards the Everfree Forest. "Runaway balloon!" screamed Pinkie Pie. Rainbow Dash went dashing after it, straight into the Everfree Forest.
"Gotcha." said Rainbow Dash as she tied the balloon rope to a tree branch. Rainbow Dash looked around as if she didn't know where she was. "Woah, this must be the deepest part of the forest." Rainbow Dash said not scared a bit. "Ah!" Rainbow Dash tripped over a sticky, stretchy, gross root that belonged to a very old tree. Her hoof got caught in it. "I could use a bit of help here if anypony is around!" Rainbow Dash yelled.
Suddenly she saw something running around.
"Is that you Pinkie Pie?" Rainbow Dash spoke. "Lyra? Who is it?" The creature stood up in front of her. A short but long creature. Red glowing eyes, staring right into hers. A dash of lightning lit up the sky and then she saw what it was. A cockatrice!
