"You can't be serious."

"Well look for yourself it looks pretty real to me."

"Well what do we do know?"

"Find a way out of the forest of course."

"It's going to be that easy?"

At that moment I kinda wanted to slap Billy, but, I had to deal with the matter at hand. After situating which direction we were heading I looked for a sign to lead us somewhere. To my surprise I found a sign post with a sign pointing towards a path going left, but, the signs location was gone, probably from rot and such. Soon, we were heading down the path to who knows where, but, hopefully civilization. What was perplexing me while walking was, "Why are we in Equestria" and "What's up with the armour and weapons?" After a while I just started to go with it, but, it started to get dark and we needed somewhere to sleep and eat.

"Guys, we need to find someplace to make camp because it's almost nightfall."

"Well I don't see any clearings our a place that's not out in the open to make camp."

"Hey, how about over here?"

The spot was perfect it had leaf coverage from any random dangers that stalk the roads, and it was roomy enough for the four of us. The only problem was that we didn't have a fire, or food. Since, we didn't find anything in the castle that was edible we had to go to sleep hungry.

"I would suggest eating some of the fruits on the bushes, but, I don't think that's very safe."

"We also don't have a fire."

"Well I don't know what to do; do you see any flint and a rock around?"

When I finished asking that question I heard a rustle in the brush. Since no one else probably wouldn't do it, I got up and went to check, but I had everyone keep their weapons ready. I was two feet from the bush when a Timberwolf jumped out and it would have taken my head, if I didn't duck. But, that left an anger wolf made of sticks in the middle of our camp.

"Well, don't just stand there attack!"

After I yelled another Timberwolf had pounced directly at me. I had put my hands out, trying to stop my demise, when I felt an immense heat coming from my hands. When I looked up the Timberwolf was flailing on the ground trying to extinguish itself. At that moment I just thought, "I can shoot fire from my hands?! Fuck yea!" I turned to see that Avery had the other wolf clam to his forearm brace and was swinging his sword at it's side. So I had stepped up to the wolf and put my hands up but nothing came out this time. At this point I was befuddled, why wasn't anything coming from my hands? Then I thought what if I thought of fire? After that I thought of a source of fire, like a campfire, and to my amazement there was fire burning the vile creature and the wood had fallen into to a nice campfire for the four of us.

"Woah! Bro, since when could you do that?"

"It probably comes with being in this world, but, now we have a campfire to keep us warm."

"Yea, but, still no food."

"Like, I said I don't trust any of the fruits here so we might as well go to sleep hungry."

And with that, we all had fallen asleep, in probably the most uncomfortable places ever.

The next morning...

We had awoke the next morning, feeling horrible. Partly because of no food and i had slept in iron armour on through the whole night. But, Brian, had insisted that we immediately get moving as to not waste any daylight. With a bit of grumpiness, the rest of us had groggily gotten up and started the walk down the path again. It was really quiet for the majority of the first, maybe, half-hour of the walk until Logan had asked Brian,

"Brian, how can you be that awake, with that much energy, when you went to sleep hungry and cold?" And, he was right Brian did seem to have a lot of energy pent up in him.

"I'm used to sleeping in uncomfortable places, but, that was a little more than I've ever been, and I just normally have this much energy everyday."

Two Hours Later...

"We've been walking forever when does this path end?"

"Oh, stop complaining it's only been maybe two, two and a half hours.

"That's still a long time."

"Hey there looks like there's something in the distance."

We all looked up to see, what looked like a broken wagon. We had started approaching it when we heard,

"Ah, now you see what you did Mulberry?"

"Hey, how was I supposed to know that the wheel was going to give out like that?"

I started telling everyone to stop and not get any closer but Brian had went around the cart and scared the living crap out of the two ponies.

"AHH! It's one of those monsters from the forest!"

"Shut up Mulberry, this doesn't look like anything we've seen, and he also looks sentient. I'm terribly sorry about my friend her but the name's Thunder."

"Why aren't you weirded out that some creature from another universe is standing in front of you."

"What would the point be? You look like you need some help with those dirty robes and by the sounds your stomach is making, you seem hungry."

This pegasus seems to know more than he's letting on. I had started walking towards Brian, and then Thunder noticed me and the others.

"Ah, I see you have some friends, well we are burnin' daylight and the next towns a few miles from here, and there's no fixing the wagon we might as well carry the stuff to the next town."

"Aw, do we really have to carry the goods to town, Thunder?"

"Really, Mulberry do you want to fix the wagon's wheel?"

"Oh, never mind."

The earth pony seemed to be really dumb, from what I was seeing.

"Oh, right I almost forgot about you four, would you mind helping us with our bags."

"Sure, I guess but what is the town we're headed to."

"Oh, The town my friend and I, were going to was Manehatten."

"Well, do we get something out of helping you with this stuff."

"Avery, that's rude to ask!"

Thunder had let out a hearty laugh and had said, "Oh, it's fine, when we get to town, I'll give you some bits to get you fellows, some food and a hotel room for a night."

"Well this sounds promising"

So we had picked up a few bags each and started the long, few miles to Manehatten.
