"Shh."

The bubble floats in front of my face and says, "Stay quiet." And I do. Sometimes when I am playing, Mommy tells me to be quiet. I stay quiet for a long time, and sometimes I forget and start playing again. Then Mommy gets loud again.

My belly starts making noise. "Shh," I say to my belly. Then the bubble floats to another muffin. I eat the whole muffin. Then I turn and follow the glowy bubble until I see a big, scary, sleeping doggy.

"Shh, you need to stay quiet. Don't wake it up." I try to stay quiet as I follow the bubble, not making a sound. I like doggies, and I play with a lot of them. They are small doggies, smaller than me. But this is a really big doggie that looks like it's made of trees. I whimper a little bit at how big it is. It's really scary, and I don't like big, scarry doggies.

My hoof touches another pully thing, and I lift it, but it kees getting away from me. Then I hear something fall. There is a tree bending over another hole with a rock on top of it. The bubble floats over the tree. I step on the rock and walk on the tree. Then the bubble takes me around more trees.

After a while, I hear a loud sound. Another doggy is howling, kinda like the doggies I play with sometimes do. But the big one scares me. I don't want to follow the bubble anymore. I want to go home and be with Mommy and Daddy. I don't want to be outside anymore.

"Come on, follow me." I shake my head no. I start to cry. I don't want to be around the big doggies. "You have to follow me if you want to be safe. Trust me. Everything is going to be okay."

I still don't want to go. But my glowy bubble friend said I will be safe if I follow. I go where the bubble tells me to. But I still don't move too good sometimes and I almost fall. But then I keep walking. There is another doggy sleeping. The bubble says to be quiet. So I be quiet while I walk near the scary doggy. When we get away from it, there are more doggies walking around. The bubble pushes me behind something.

"You need to hide until they are gone," the bubble says. I try to move but then it says, "No! Stay here." Then I stay sitting where I am. I hear the big doggies walking and making scary noises. I feel really sleepy, but I need to not sleep, or the doggies will hurt me. I want Daddy with me. He's nice and always keeps me safe from monsters and stuff.

"Now we can go." I stand up and walk with the bubble. We walk around until I can't hear the doggies anymore. There is another muffin on the ground, and I eat it. Then we go somewhere with lots more doggies. I don't want to go, but the bubble is floating ahead, so I have to go too. "We have to get through here in order to reach safety. Don't worry, the timberwolves are not going to hurt you, I promise."

I don't know some of the words the bubble said, but I keep walking. The bubble helped me lots of times, so she can help me with the doggies. I really like the bubble. She is very nice, and I want us to be friends forever. The doggies are just walking around and we go past one. There is another muffin on the ground, but I don't want it. My belly is full of the ones I already ate.

I always listen to the bubble. I hide when she says to. We go past more doggies. There are more doggies in front of us, but they are sleeping, and that is good. We keep walking until there are no more trees. I feel real happy that I don't have to be near anymore big doggies.

I walk up a big hill and I can see houses. There are lots and lots of houses, and lots of ponies. The sky is orange now, and I feel really really sleepy. I want to go home and see Mommy and Daddy and sleep with them. Maybe Mommy and Daddy are waiting for me near the houses.

The bubble floats near my face and says a lot of stuff before floating higher, and I lift my hooves towards her. Then she floats down and I grab her with my hooves. She doesn't pop or anything, and I hug her. "You're welcome, young filly." Then she floats up. But I don't want the glowy bubble to leave me alone. She's my new friend, and I want us to be friends forever. "I have to go. I cannot stay with you."

This makes me sad and I start crying. I can't talk very good, but I want her to stay with me. I want to take her to see Mommy and Daddy and Miss Sweetie. She can be friends with them too. "I'm very sorry, but I can't. I have to go now." I just cry more. I don't want to be by myself, it's too scary. "Some very nice ponies live here. You can make new friends. Don't be afraid of them."

I stop crying and look at the bubble. I watch as she floats up and then pops. I still feel sad for the bubble. I don't want to go to the houses alone. But she said ponies here are nice, so it's okay for me. I walk to a big thing with words on it. I can't really read it. Daddy said he will teach me how.

But I need to find him first. Then we can go back home and be with Mommy, and we can all be happy together. Then I won't have to be scared anymore, because Mommy and Daddy will not let anything happen to me. They are a good Mommy and Daddy. I love them both.

"Well, hello there, little one. What are you doing here?"

Author's Note

I don't know if this chapter is very good. I don't really know how to make it better. I sometimes have a difficult time trying to write at a lower level. But the next chapter won't be like that.

And did you ever wonder why the bubble was able to talk? You'll find out later.
