*Writer's note*
Hey guys. This is honestly my first fanfiction... like... ever. So my apologies if it kinda sucks but constructive criticism is much loved. Anyway I hope you find enjoyment in this story and it's "Hairy" shenanigans
Chapter 1
The First Sightings
"WHAT IN TARNATIONS?!" A furious Applejack growled as she and her big brother Big Mac started to go through the apple fields "Alla these apples are half eaten?! I made sure no critters could get in!"
The big stallion sighed looking at all the half eaten apples laying on the ground. Could it have been a raccoon? More than likely yes. Big Mac knew that raccoon's had a tendency to take one bite and then drop it before finishing it. It was a fact of life. But for all these apples on the ground, there must have been one hell of a group of them. Even worse, the same had happen to all the other crops around their farm this year. What on earth was going on here? Big Mac continued to scan the damage until... something caught his eye. He got closer and gasped seeing three whole trees uprooted and pulled from the ground.
"Er... definitely wasn't a raccoon." The stallion sighed not knowing that this was just the beginning.
Meanwhile at the SurgarCube Corner, Mr. and Mrs. Cake were frantically running through their shop... er... what was left of it anyhow. Somehow while they were asleep, something had gotten in and began to eat all the left over sweets and pretty much make a mess of the shop. And yet the couple weren't waken up and not even Pound Cake and Cup Cake woke up from what looked like a huge racket. This wasn't good. Wasn't good at all. More and more of these happenings were found all over Ponyville that day. Several shops had items stolen, food was eaten and trash left everywhere. And yet nobody could figure out what caused it. It even began to affect Twilight Sparkle and her group of friends. Several bits of Pinkie Pie's party supplies were stolen, Animals that Fluttershy had been caring for were obviously spooked about something, Twilight found several of her books spread out and some pages were even torn, Several clouds had been formed into odd shapes (including things that should not be discussed) much to Rainbow Dash's dismay. As for Rarity? A lot of threads and jewels were stolen from her shop.
As the day went on and the citizens began to fix up what was broken and try to replace what was stolen, a certain Filly of the Apple family was walking through the woods for a small visit to Zecora. Why? Well the same reason why the whole Cutie Mark Crusaders was made to begin with. Applebloom was hoping that if she helped Zecora enough with making potions that soon they may be able to find a way for her, Scootaloo and Sweetie Bell to get their cutie marks.
"Ah wonder if Zecora may also help us figure out what's been causin' all the rucus in to- huh?" She turned around in time to see a large shadow walking past her quickly. "H-hello? Is... someone... th-there?"
The shadow stopped and looked at her were rather mean looking yellow eyes. In a fright, she quickly dashed towards the Zebra's hut and slammed the door shut to see a confused Zecora.
"Applebloom, is something wrong? You look as though a ghost decided to tag along." The zebra smiled comfortingly to the scared filly.
"Th-there's some weird critter outside!" Applebloom panicked as she looked out the window. She couldn't see it but had a feeling it was still there... watching with those big evil eyes.
"A critter you say? Funny, my items outside tend to scare them away- what is this?" The zebra looked outside and gasped "My heart's desire... someone has stolen it!"
"It's been happenin' all over Ponyville. Everyone's things have gone missing." Applebloom explained as she peeked out the window and saw the eyes again and immediately screamed in fright.
To Be continued in the next chapter...
Chapter 2
Just Dropped In
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After Big Mac came to escort Applebloom back to the farm since she was too afraid to head home by herself, night soon befell on Ponyville. However many of it's residents were restless in fear that whatever hit them the night before would come back. This was true especially for a certain Twilight Sparkle who was still reorganizing her library and throwing away any books that had pages torn in them... which was about 78% of the books unfortunately. And even Rainbow Dash's favorite 'Daring Do' books were gone before the rainbow colored mare could get her hooves on them.
"Man this is a pain... especially to get all these books in the garbage bin..." Spike groaned as he yawned softly, it was way past the baby dragon's bedtime. He tossed another book into the garbage bag and yawned again.
"Spike go to bed. I'll handle the rest." The unicorn sighed and immediately saw Spike dash to his bed. With a small giggle she finished up the cleaning and began to drag the trashbag outside to set it next to the library. But when she did... something caught her eye. "Sm-smoke?!"
She looked up to see billowing smoke that had... an odd aroma to it. She felt her head get a bit fuzzy but shook it off and followed the smoke trail, unfortunately deep into the everfree forest where she tried to find the source of the smoke. "I don't see any fires... and none of the animals are fleeing like they should. What's... going on?" She continued to look through the forest and saw light coming from a small cave opening. Well... that was new. She peeked curiously inside and saw a strange looking creature laying on a hammock made of thread... FROM RARITY'S SHOP?! She looked closer to see apple cores laying all over the place, cupcakes and snacks laid out on trays made from gems and weird odd devices made from several different items. She gasped hearing the creature... singing?
"Someone painted 'April Fool' in big black letters on a dead end sign. I had my foot on the gas as I left the road and blew out my miiiiind EIGHT MILES OUTTA MEMPHIS AND I GOT NO SPARE! eight miles straight up downtown somewhere... I just dropped in TO SEE WHAT MY CONDITION MY CONDITION WAS IN!" The creature yawned softly and stood up from the hammock causing the lavender pony to dash into hiding but still watching. "Hmm... alright it's almost done. MAN THIS IS GONNA BE SUHWEET!"
Twilight began to make her way out of the area but gasped as a bear glared at her and roared loudly. She tried to run but saw the creature from earlier emerge from his cave. In a state of panic as well as the strange aroma from the smoke, she passed out. What seemed like hours later she finally woke up and looked over to see herself on the hammock covered in a blanket.
"Dude... you okay...?"
The lavender unicorn screeched in fright and fell off the hammock landing on her back. She looked up and finally got a good look at the creature. It was.... BIG. For comparison sake it was like as if four Big Macs were stacked on eachother in terms of height. It looked a bit on the chubby side and most of it's body was covered in thick fur except for it's large hands, large feet and it's face which sported several teeth, yellow eyes and a rather big nose. What on earth was this thing?
"Um... hi?" She asked looking at the creature.
"AWESOME! DUDE EPIC! Man I was like totes worried you were like dead or something man! Holy crap!" The creature smiled and held the pony in the air "Dude look at you you're like a little marshmellow snack man! Awesome!"
"Um, I'm a mare..." She sighed not exactly fond of being called man and dude... whatever that meant.
"A mare... OH! That's like... a female... pony right? righteous!"
"Okay real quick." Twilight sighed getting out of his massive hands and looked towards all the stolen items "Who are you? WHAT are you? And why have you been stealing things from Ponyville?"
"Oh... my name's Mik. Uh these items... um... well... see uuum... H-h-hold on man." The creature went to the back of the cave and immediately several items began to fly in the air as he finally came out carrying a guitar like instrument. "Alright, I'm writing a tune man check it... ahem..." Much to Twilight's dismay, he began to sing and play rather horridly "My name is Miiiiik... I am a Sasquatch... I come as an ambassador for my Sasquatch bretheren... that's all I got... Oh oh hold maybe I can free style... Oooooh well I grabbed some things and snacky poos... mainly just to make some pretty cool stuff oooh! To show that we Sasquatches are awesome in making things! And doing stuff! And... okay... that's... hold on... Eh screw it." Mik sighed and tossed the instrument away. "I was gonna give the stuff right back... well except for the apples and cupcakes... unless you know... you wanna wait a bit... if you're into that I guess."
Twilight listened to the song and sighed wanting to rip her ears off but thought for a moment. So... this... 'Sasquatch' was an ambassador... he didn't exactly seem all that qualified for something like this. "Sigh... alright... Mik... you can't just go around taking things without their permission. Look, everpony in ponyville is freaking out because of what you did."
"For real? Ah man I'm sorry..."
"I'M NOT A MAN!" Twilight growled annoyed but calmed herself, though this... sasquatch may seem a bit uncouth in Rarity's terms... she couldn't help but be curious about him. She had never read anything about Sasquatches before and to be honest this was the first time she's ever seen or heard the name "My name's Twilight Sparkle. I'm sure if you come clean and return everything tomorrow i'm sure you'll be forgiven."
"Tubular man." Mik smiled giving her a thumbs up and sat on the hammock looking down at Twilight.
"Um... Mik... I was wondering..."
"Yeah bro-po?"
"Maybe you could tell me a little bit about these... Sasquatches?" Twilight asked with a smile despite it being so late.
"Totes man!" Mik grinned happily and began to explain some things about their kind "Not many know we exist or existed at all man. See we Sasquatches are 'protectors' of nature and stuff you see. Like we can draw in power from the grass, trees, flowers and even animals. Awesome right?"
Twilight smiled excitedly as she listened carefully and well on through the night the two continued their conversation. Twilight seemed to like this guy... but... what about the rest of Ponyville?
