Chapter 1: The Fight
It was just another Saturday morning in Ponyville. The sun had just dawned, and ponies were starting to come out of their houses and take on the day. For Sweetie Belle this was not your average Saturday. Every summer for the past three years her parents had always gone on a romantic vacation to the tropics and left Sweetie with her sister Rarity. Sweetie Belle loved having fun with her sister. This summer she was going to get to go to the summer sun celebration with her sister. It was going to be so much fun.
"Okay Sweetie were here!" shouted her father as they pulled up to Raritys Boutique.
"Sweetie got her bags out of the back of the carriage and said bye to her parents. "Bye mom! Bye dad! I hope you have fun on your vacation!" shouted Sweetie as her parents carriage drives away.
Oh boy! I get to spend a whole week with my favorite sister in the world!
Sweetie Belle knocked on the door and waited for Rarity to open it.
"Just a minute!" shouted Rarity who sounded as though she was trying to concentrate on something else.
Rarity opened the door, she seemed to be in a sour mood. But her face lit up when she saw Sweetie Belle.
"Sweetie Belle its so good to see you!" shouted Rarity as she hugged Sweetie Belle "Come inside and make yourself at home."
Sweetie Belle came inside and put her stuff in the guest bedroom where she always stays when she is at Raritys house. Sweetie was so happy to be back at Raritys house. The week she stayed at Raritys house was always her favorite time of the year She couldn't wait to see what Rarity had planned for them to do this week. Sweetie Belle trotted downstairs to talk to her sister.
"So sis what are we going to do today?" asked Sweetie Belle.
"Oh I'm so sorry Sweetie but today I'm working on my dress for the Summer Sun Celebration! Its going to look fabulous!" exclaimed Rarity.
"Oh... well I thought we could do something fun today." said Sweetie Belle, who was a bit disappointed.
"Yes I wish we could to, but once I'm done we can have fun all week!" said Rarity.
"Okay! I'll go find something else to do" said Sweetie.
Sweetie went up to guest room. She sat around, she read a book, she stared ominously out the window. She thought about how amazing Raritys dress was going to be and how much fun they were going to have. But understandably Sweetie Belle eventually became bored. She sat around in an extended state of boredom until finally...
"Sweetie! Come downstairs! I have something to show you!" Rarity shouted up the stairs
Sweetie dashed down the stairs excitedly. She turned to see Rarity standing next to a beautiful white and gold dress.
"So? What do you think?" asked Rarity
The dress was a brilliant white with intricate gold vines wrapping around it. There was a necklace with all kinds of gems and a tiara with a large diamond on front. The dress appeared to be made out of very fine silk.
"It's beautiful!" said Sweetie Belle as she stared wide eyed at the dress
"Those vines are made of real gold! It took me month to make it! I can't wait to wear it to the summer sun celebration!" exclaimed Rarity
"Can I take a closer look?" asked Sweetie Belle
"Sure! But be very careful... the fabric can tear very easily" said Rarity
Sweetie began to trot toward the dress.
"Wait! Sweetie! Look out for the needles!" shouted Rarity
"Wh- AUGH!" screamed Sweetie Belle as she stepped right on the sharp tip of a needle.
She stumbled, colliding into the dress.
"NOOOOO!" screamed Rarity
The dress toppled over, part of it catching on a coat hanger. A sickening ripping noise echoed throughout the room. When it was all over Sweetie was lying on the floor with her hoof bleeding and Raritys dress had a large rip right down the middle.
"Oh no! I'm so sorry Rarity!" sniffled Sweetie Belle
"You...you destroyed it... I spent months working on that...." mumbled Rarity
"But-" said Sweetie Belle who was quickly cut off by Rarity
"No buts... you destroyed my dress! YOU RUINED IT!" said Rarity who started to scream
"WELL YOU LEFT YOUR NEEDLE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FLOOR!" screamed Sweetie Belle
"WELL YOU DIDN'T WATCH WHERE YOU WERE GOING!" screamed Rarity "GO TO THE GUEST ROOM NOW! I DON'T EVEN WANT TO LOOK AT YOU RIGHT NOW!"
Sweetie dashed into the guest room, viciously slamming the door. She pulled down the curtains, threw things, and even flipped over a desk. In her rage she formulate a plan. She would run away to the everfree forest. When their parents found out Rarity would talk the blame. She would return to Rarity being punished... it was the perfect plan. She sat in her room waiting for the perfect moment. She heard Rarity downstairs banging around. She waited... and waited... until finally she heard the sounds stop. This was it.
Sweetie pulled open her bedroom window and dashed out into the night air. She streaked across Ponyville under the light of the moon. She snuck through alleyways and around buildings until finally she reached her destination.
The everfree forest...perfect
With that Sweetie Belle dashed into the forest.

In But Not Out
Chapter 2: In But Not Out
Sweetie Belle trotted through the Everfree Forest alone. The sun was just starting to rise and a new day was beginning and soon the forest would be full of the sounds of woodland creatures. But for now everything was quiet and the only sound was the sound of Sweeties hooves on the ground. Her plan was simple, hide in the forest until about ten o'clock. Rarity would have surely woken up by then and noticed Sweetie was missing. Then Rarity would have to tell their parents and Rarity would get in trouble.
"Bwahaha! This plan is perfect!" said Sweetie to herself as she manically rubbed her hooves together.
Sweetie trotted on as the forest creatures began to wake. The birds began to chirp their song and the squirrels ran up and down the trees. Rabbit and other little creatures were coming out of their dens after a good nights rest. Soon the air was abuzz with the sound of the forest creatures.
This is really nice I don't know why everyone thinks the Everfree Forest is so creepy.
At this point it was about seven o'clock in the morning just three hours until Sweetie was supposed to leave the forest. She had keeping track of where she was going in her head so she would not get lost. In a few minutes she would turn around and go back the way she had came ensuring she would not get lost in the woods. The sun had at that point fully risen and was shining through the trees onto the forest floor. It looked beautiful like something right out of a postcard. Sweetie stared in awe for a few minutes.
Man, I wish I had brought a camera this is beautiful!
Sweetie Belle trotted onward into the forest. After trotting along for another five minutes Sweetie felt that it was time to turn around. Following the mental map Sweetie had made in her head, Sweetie went back the way she came. Sweetie twisted and turned through the forest stopping a few times to look at an interesting mushroom or a cute squirrel. She was taking her time as to ensure Rarity had woken up by the time she got back. Then Sweetie though about her fight with Rarity.
I'm starting to feel guilty. I mean I ruined the dress she had been working on for months and then I run away just to get her in more trouble. I'm a horrible sister. I never should have run away.
"Oh Celestia what have I done!" said Sweetie realizing how cruel her running away had been.
"I have to get back to the Boutique before Rarity finds out I am gone!" said Sweetie as she started to gallop back to the Boutique.
For thirty minutes Sweetie galloped as fast as she could trying to get out of the forest before Rarity noticed her absence. She was almost out of the forest and the next turn would take her out of the forest.
Just turn here and I'm out of the woo-
Her thoughts cut short as she turned the bend. It was not the edge of the forest, it was just more forest.
"Oh no! I must have taken a wrong turn!" said Sweetie Belle who was now starting to panic.
"RARITY! ANYONE! HELP ME I'M LOST IN THE WOODS!" screamed Sweetie Belle at the top of her lungs. She listened for a response, silence.
[Oh man! I'm gonna be stuck in these woods forever!
Sweetie Belle then stopped in her tracks. She heard a howl, and then another one, closer this time. Something was coming...

Chapter 3: The Wolves All Howl
Sweetie Belle was frozen in place. She knew exactly what those howls had been coming from.
Timberwolves
A single word, and also one of the most fearsome creatures in the Everfree Forest. They had teeth like knives and were faster than ponies. Luckily they rarely came out of the Everfree Forest or else many ponies would have lost there lives. At that moment Sweeties worst fears had been realized. A large brown Timberwolve walked into her view.
Oh Celestia this can't be happening. I should have been at Raritys eating pancakes right now.
The Timberwolve seemed to stare her down, almost like it was glaring at her. Then it let out one ferocious howl and headed at Sweetie Belle. Full speed.
Sweetie let out a squeak and started to gallop in the opposite direction of the wolf as fast as her tiny little legs could carry her. Lucky for her she had about one hundred yards between her and the Timberwolve but that gap was closing, fast. Sweetie glanced back for a second to see how much the wolf had gained on her. She was met with an even worse image. There were more. At least 5 or 6 were then chasing her through the forest and were gaining fast. Sweetie tried to lose them in any way possible. She threw things with her magic at the wolves like mushrooms and even some small shrubs. All the while the gap had been closing, the wolves were then only twenty five yards away and they were still gaining. Sweetie had to do something. She knew she had to or she was dead and if she was dead Rarity would go to pony jail.
I have to survive. For Rarity. I can't let her go to jail for my actions.
So Sweetie Belle stopped galloping and focused her magic on the tree in front of her.
If I can knock over this tree I could trap some of the Timberwolves under it. Give me a fighting chance.
At this point the gap between Sweetie and the wolves was closing rapidly. From twenty five yards to twenty, ten, five.
At this point the tree was falling over and the first Timberwolve leaped for her. Sweetie closed her eyes expecting the worst. She heard a large crash and some howls. She opened her eyes and four Timberwolves were stuck under a fallen tree. That left one and that one was standing right behind her.
Sweetie turned around very very slowly. When she turned around all the way she found a pair of bright green eyes staring back at her.
