Lost in the Everfree

Dr. Hooves ran as quick as he could to catch up to me and Ditzy before it was too late!

But me and my mom were sitting there already. Nothing to do with the trap, we just sat there, and ate muffins. This confused him. What could the trap be, he thought. and then I saw a muffin about four feet from us. "Never saw us drop or toss a muffin, did we? Free sample!"

But this was dad's signal! It was closer, and it was looking the trap at the muffin. "Oh no...Dinky's heading for the trap!"

"Dinky, wait!" Ditzy said, as I strolled towards the muffin. "It's a trap!"

"A trap?" I replied. "It's a muffin, for sake! I thought you loved muffins?"

I kept walking towards the muffin. Once I was an inch from it, the ground beneath me fell. "Dinky?" Ditzy cried.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I screamed. Then I landed. On a deep ground. And then I got pushed forward, and then up. Up. Up. UP! Until I got shot into the air and landed in the forest. The Everfree Forest. How did I get here? What kind of idiot makes a muffin for a trap? That I did not know. However, since I am telling you this story right now, I DO know. But once again, I will not spoil it for you. Wink wink!

"This is confusing...I should of listened to mom and dad! Next time they tell me something is a trap, I will go for their word. But first I have to get out of this forest!" I ran towards the exit. However, it closed on me. When I walked away, it opened. I walked towards again, and it closed. So I ran towards Zecora's house and knocked on her door.

She answered. "Dinky, I remember you, aren't you the one who ate muffins with me here a month ago?"

"Yep, it's me, the one and only, Dinky Hooves!" I replied. "I am trapped in this forest! You gotta help me! Every time I run to the exit, it closes on me! I walked towards a muffin and somehow ended up here!"

"Ah, that happened to your mother when she was little." Zecora stated.

"She did?" I asked

"Yeah, Derpy-"

"She doesn't like that nickname, she just wants to be called Ditzy Doo." I told her.

"Alright, Ditzy did, when she was little, fall for the old 'muffin in the distance' trick that ran through most members of that family, of all those with the love for muffins, and liking to derp their eyes up, and now it happened to you."

"But I don't derp at all, and I'm not even a pegasus! How can it be running through me?" I wondered.

"It's the family, Dinky. Your skin color is, well, almost the same as your mother and the rest of them, and you have the great muffin love. If you ever have a derpy daughter, it'll happen to her too." Zecora spoke.

"Okay, now I understand, but how do I get out of here?"

"It takes adventure and true bravery. However, it may lead to this monster forcing you to cross your eyes until they are stuck in that position." She told me.

"Ohhhhh. That explains my mom's eyes...and her mother's eyes...and her mother's mother's eyes...and her mother's mother's mother's mother's mother-"

"Yes, I get it, Dinky. Now go get out there, you may discover your true destiny along the way. And something might even come with it." Zecora encouraged.

"My cutie mark?" I asked.

"Yes. Now go discover your bravery and derp up!"
