They came from the Everfree

Apple Bloom was bored. So was Scootaloo. Ans so was Sweetie Belle. They just came back from Canterlot, where exciting adventures including very scary bug like ponies happened. Now, they were back in Ponyville, with nothing to do. They could go crusading, but at this point, they were out of ideas.

Until they heard a faint noise coming from outside their clubhouse. They looked out by the window, and saw a stallion. His coat was yellow, and his mane purple. An odd association of colors, but it wasn't the strangest of things about him.

First of all, he was wearing a hat. "And only fancy ponies wear hats out of parties !" Deducted Apple Bloom. Her friends stared at her. "That's what my sister said ..." she admitted.

Another thing about the odd stallion, was that he was floating in mid air. Pegasi could do that with training. But he was just an Earth pony. He held his forehooves on his smiling face, and his two other hooves seemed ... broken. They were perpendicular to the rest of his body, and the end of them pointed upwards.

"I think he's cool." Said Scootaloo.

"I say he's dangerous !" Answered Sweetie Belle. "Also, the grown ups told us to stay away from strange ponies these days ! And the grown ups know what their saying !"

"You're just scared." Teased Scootaloo. "I'll show you. I'm going to get out of this treehouse, and kick this guy's flank back to the forest ! Just like Rainbow Dash would ! Ya-ta !" She mimicked a karate chop towards the stallion's location, where he was no longer.

All three of them heard the same faint noise from before, and slowly turned their heads around. The stallion was right there, still hanging above the ground. They were about to scream like the little fillies they were. But the stallion acted first. "I'm Weaselcake." He cheerfully declared, introducing himself to the three little ponies in front of him.

They simply stared. As their minds processed what they just saw, it always came back to running as fast as possible whilst loudly screaming. Fortunately, the stallion acted first once again, by inflating his own body, turning pink for a couple of seconds, saying "Cake." Once, spawning a single chocolate flavour cake.

This time the Cutie Mark Crusaders' brains proceeded the information differently. This guy turned pink, and pink things are a good sign, unless Pinkie Pie decides that you are an alien taking the form of a pony. Then, he inflated like a balloon, and balloons are funny. Finally, he just gave them cake. This could only mean ...

"CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS FLYING EARTH PONY STALLIONS WHO CAN TURN PINK AND GIVES US CAKE FRIENDMAKERS, YAY !"

The Elements of Harmony were discussing inside the library. Everything ended well at Canterlot, but they were worried. Princess Celestia admitted three of the creatures which came from the Everfree Forest inside Canterlot, since they weren't blown away by Shining Armor and Cadance's combined spell, and therefore couldn't be considered evil. The one who turned the entire population of Ponyville into wooden cutouts of themselves was given an artificial jungle, the one who tried to eat Spike was given access to the royal kitchens, and another one they didn't see before was given metal junk. A lot of it.

This didn't make any sense, and Twilight Sparkle was having a headache. "Girls," she said, "we need to find where those guys come from, and we need to send. Them. Back."

"BUT I BUCKING LIKE IT HERE." Yelled ChoZo, who happened to be reading a book about medicine, though he didn't seem to understand half of it.

"I know." Casually answered Twilight. "But you don't belong here, and I'm fairly sure you want to retrieve your Nataska, and that ... 'Rape Banner' ... of yours ..." These words actually hurt to say.

"OKAY." He shouted, before resuming his reading.

And then somepony knocked on the door. But nopony noticed. Except for Fluttershy, who opened it. Outside stood Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle and ...

"Oh my ..." she said, but nopony heard it. She began to slowly back away from the door. "Hum, girls ... can you introduce your new ... hum, friend, to me ?"

"Sure !" Said Scootaloo, waving to the levitating stallion. He teleported inside, his cocky smile never leaving his face. "That guy's Weaselcake, and he can do all kinds of cool stuff ! He gave us cake !" As to prove her point, Weaselcake inflated, briefly turned pink, and magically spawned a big chocolate flavour cake.

Fluttershy's reaction corresponded to the crusaders' initial one, namely ...

"EEEP !"

The library was now empty. Except for Weaselcake, that is. Strangely, as soon as the yellow pegasus in front of her made that curious noise, the purple unicorn behind her made her horn glow, and both the ponies inside and his three new friends were teleported out of sight.

This left him with sad face for the first time since Weaselpie!, his worst enemy. So he spawned cake and ate it, waiting for another potential friend to show up.

Meanwhile, Applejack, Rarity and Rainbow Dash weren't happy. They had clearly stated that anything coming from the Everfree was to be avoided, mostly now that so much crazy things happened. "You were lucky, Sweetie ! But I won't tolerate it ! This monster could have killed you ! Or messed up your mane ! Or killed you, THEN messed up your mane !" Said Rarity in a nearly unladylike tone. Nearly.

"He's not a monster !" Answered Sweetie Belle. "His name is Weaselcake, and he's been very nice to us !"

"Could've been ah trap. Can't take any chance. Apple Bloom, you're grounded, now go do your homework !" Said Applejack to her little sister, pushing her onto her back.

"But ah already finished them ! And Sweetie Belle's right !"

This left Scootaloo alone with Rainbow Dash. "I'm sorry ..." she said, staring at the ground. Rainbow Dash scratched her face, then thought things through for one of the first times of her life. That Weaselcake guy didn't seem that bad. In fact, he was cool.

She made a decision. "Kid, tonight, we're visiting that new friend of yours. How does that sound ?"

Later that day, the entire town was asleep. Even Twilight Sparkle and Spike, who obtained some of Applejack's hospitality and slept in a barn. Two figures of which you probably already deduced the identity sneaked inside the library.

...

It was Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo, for those of you who are slow thinkers. Anyway, they slowly crept inside the tree, making sure nopony saw them, like Rarity. Especially Rarity. As they stealthily entered the library, they witnessed Weaselcake stretching his tongue to grab a nearby cake. That somehow worried Rainbow Dash. "Did I ever tell you that you were awesome ?" Whispered Scootaloo next to her.

"Sure, kid ..." she hesitantly answered. They had very slowly opened a window, and just finished completely entering when they heard a noise behind them as they closed it. Spinning around, they saw the object of their visit floating in mid air. They simply stared at each other for the longest time. Until Rainbow Dash slowly waved. "'Sup ?" She said in her most respectful tone.

Weaselcake didn't seem to mind. In fact, he seemed as happy as usual. As he did the previous times, he inflated, said "Cake." And made a chocolate cake magically appear. Scootaloo went ahead and took a decent bite from it.

"It'ch good ! Come try chom, Rainbow Dach !" She said in a goofy tone, caused by all of the chocolate pastry currently inhabitating her mouth. The concerned pegasus walked towards the cake, eyeing it suspiciously. Then, she took a small bite.

"That ..." she began, her eyes clearly emitting sparkles. "Is. The. Best. Thing. I. Ever. Ate. Pinkie. Would. Be. So. Jal-"

"What ?!" Came the extremely high pitched voice of the Pink sugar filled abomination, who appeared instantly in front of the cake. Instead of suspicion, she snobbed the cake, then simply licked it. Her eyes almost flew out of her face, as she popped in front of Weaselcake, seemingly very angry. "You aren't just evil !" She said. "You are super hyper mega evil ! You're a ... an Evil McEvil Evilpants ! Are you trying to steal my job, McEvil ?!"

Weaselcake's face became sad for the second time of the day. He just wanted to make friends. Did he do something wrong ? He swiftly teleported to a corner of the library, then proceeded to guiltily look at the floor.

Meanwhile, Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo gave Pinkie Pie an overly annoyed, and somewhat angry stare. "What ?" She said innocently. And she probably meant it.

"That guy wasn't trying to make better cakes than you ! He was just trying to be cool ! I randomly said that because this cake was so good !" Said Rainbow Dash, impressively using a word as sophisticated as 'randomly'. She then pointed a dramatic hoof at Weaselcake. "Now apologize !"

Pinkie Pie was now sad. ... or shocked, as her mane didn't deflate. "Wait ... so he isn't evil ?" Both Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo nodded. "And you still like my cakes ?" Other nod. "AND I'VE JUST BEEN HORRIBLE TO A NEW PONY IN TOWN ?!" Another nod.

The gasp was loud. Not as loud as the repetitive "I'M SORRY !" Though. All in all, everything ended well.

The next day, Weaselcake was publicly introduced to all of Ponyville. And Twilight Sparkle learned a valuable lesson. Don't eat too much cake. It makes you lazy. And lazyness was something she avoided at all cost.

Ponyville now had two guardians.

And it would soon need them, as the space-time liquid grew in size inside the Everfree Forest, spawning not one, but six creatures.
