When she got there, she noticed that it was darker then usual. "This is gonna be awesome!", said Dash running into the forest. In the forest were trees covered with red spades. "Whoa it's like a deck of cards exploded in here", said Dash looking around She stopped when she saw a shadow like figure fly by her. "WHAT THE-!", yelled Dash, "WHO'S OUT THERE?! COME OUT AND FACE ME LIKE A PONY!" The shadow disappeared, and it's place was a silver sword with wings. "What's that?", asked Rainbow walking over to the sword. The sword had an inscription on the handle. "The Sword of a Thousand Heroes", said Dash reading the sword, "Seems legit." Rainbow grabbed the sword. Suddenly, there was a loud roar, and out of nowhere, a manticore jumped out through the bushes. Rainbow screamed and ran as fast as she could. She reached a cliff, and she turned around. The manticore was still chasing her. Rainbow brased for the impact, but when she opened her eyes, she saw the manticore lying on the grass with a stab wound on his head. Blood slowly dripped from the wound. Rainbow looked at her sword, and saw that she accidently stabbed the creature. "Whoa", said Rainbow admiring her sword, "This sword is AWESOME! With this I can kill the creatures in the forest, and Zecora could go back home safely" Rainbow flew back into a forest, without knowing that her sword was making a trail of blood. She started mudering monsters of all kind. From chimeras to cockatrices. She slayed a few dragons, and destroyed groups of parasprites. Her sword was so powerful that it even kills timber wolves without having them rebuild. Everytime she makes a kill, the blood path she made grew a little bit wider. Rainbow decided to take a break and saw a couple of jackalopes frolicking through the flowers. "Hm, I wander what it would be like to slay innocent creatures", said Dash drawing her sword She approached the jackalopes and decapted them. Their blood poured out like a river. She soon started murdering every creature in the forest. Even the innocent ones. "That felt good", said Rainbow as her eyes turned black with red pupils. She walked away while continuing her blood trail. Suddenly, she heard noises coming from behind a couple of bushes. Rainbow drew her sword and ran through the bushes, and killing the mysterious creatures. When she heard their screams, her eyes turned back to normal. She realized she had done something she wish she hasn't done. "Oh my Celestia", said Rainbow on the verge of tears, "What have I done" Suddenly, the trees turned red. The branches of the trees grabbed Rainbow and started pulling her towards the trees. Rainbow tried using her sword, but she dropped it. "NO NO LET ME GO YOU STUPID TREES", yelled Rainbow The trees pulled her into a cage, and the ceiling started to close on her. "Im sorry", whispered Rainbow crying The tree closed and made a bone crushing sound. Suddenly, the mysterious shadow showed up and started singing. The first ALICE was a brave rainbow pony Wielding a sword in a hoof in the Everfree Slicing down everything in her wrath Every kill she has made, left a bloody path. This new ALICE of the red spade Was trapped by the forest as a wanted fugitive If it weren't for the red path that she made Nopony would think that she even existed. The shadow gave an evil laugh and disappeared. Author's Note I changed the lyrics a bit, so it could match Dash. THE SONG IS NOT MINE Ch.3 The Second AliceFluttershy was in her garden feeding her animals. She started to sing a little song, and all the animals clapped when she was done. "Oh thank you", said Fluttershy , "I guess my singing is getting better. I wish I can sing in fromt of everypony without getting nervous." Suddenly, Fluttershy's pet bunny, Angel, hopped off of Fluttershy's back and hopped away. "Angel, where are you going?", called Fluttershy chasing after him Fluttershy kept chasing him, until she saw that he went into the Everfree forest. She was about to go in there, but she stopped. "I can't go in there. Zecora said it's dangerous. Plus I made a Pinkie promise to Twilight.", said Fluttershy "But then again, Angel could get hurt." Fluttershy looked at the forest once again. "In and out", she whispered She ran into the forest scared as a mouse. When she stopped, she saw that the trees were covered with blue diamonds. "Why are the trees covered in diamonds?" Suddenly, the mysterious shadow appeared, and Fluttershy started to shake. "Um h-hello", said Fluttershy nervously The shadow disappeared and in it's place was Angel Bunny. "Angel, there you are", said Fluttershy running towards him "Fluttershy, you must come with me", said Angel "Ok Angel. Wait you can talk?" "Yes, but there's no time to explain" Angel lead Fluttershy to a blue stage. "Stand here", ordered Angel Fluttershy did so. The lights turn on and there was a bunch of angry blue animals looking at her. Fluttershy screamed and tried to hide. Angel hopped up to her. "Fluttershy, these animals haven't smiled for hundreds of years", explained Angel "The only way to make them smile is to sing to them" "I can't", said Fluttershy hiding "Im too scared" "Please Fluttershy, they need you" "Ok one song" Fluttershy stood up and started singing Music In The Trees. When she was done. All of the animals cheered for her. "FLUTTERSHY FLUTTERSHY FLUTTERSHY", chanted the animals "Well that was fun, but we must be going. Come on Angel", said Fluttershy Fluttershy was about to walk on stage, but she was blocked by Angel. "Please Fluttershy, you must sing another song", said Angel "These animals can't stay happy forever" "Well, maybe a few more songs", said Fluttershy Fluttershy sang more sangs, but something was wrong. The more she sang, the more her voice turns demonic. Soon her loving fans turned into despisers. Their cheers turned to boos. Suddenly, when she was in the middle of a song, someone threw an apple at her. "BOO GET OFF THE STAGE", yelled a crowd member Fluttershy started to get angry and she turned to the crowd. "YOUR GONNA LOVE ME", yelled Fluttershy as her eyes turned evil like Rainbow's Fluttershy sang so deadly, that the animal's ears exploded, and blood started dripping out. Fluttershy continued singing until she heard a loud bang. She felt a sharp pain on her left eye. She put her hoof there and saw blood. Somepony shot her in the eye. Fluttershy fainted, and when she looked up, she saw Angel holding a pistol. "Angel", said Fluttershy as her eyes tirned back to normal, "How could you?" "Im sorry, Fluttershy", said Angel as he puts a blue rose on Fluttershy's wound, "But you went crazy. It's for the best" Fluttershy died while her blood turned the blue rose red. Suddenly, the shadow reappeared and started singing again. "The second ALICE was a shy yellow pony She sang to the creatures of The Everfree Filling regions with so many flat high pitched notes That made the whole forest go crazy This new ALICE of the blue diamond Was shot by a bunny when things got out of hand It left a blue flower bloom sadly red The pony who was loved by all was now forgotten" Ch.5 The Third AliceRarity was working on her latest design for Sapphire Shores, until her horn started to glow. "There must be a rare gem near by", thought Rarity Rarity followed her horn, but she stopped when she found out she was near the Everfree forest. "Oh no, Im not going in there", said Rarity turning around She was about to walk away, until she saw something shiny in the forest. "SHINY GEM", yelled Rarity running in the forest. Inside the forest was trees covered with green clubs (the clover signs on cards). "The trees look extremely tacky", said Rarity Suddenly, the shadow appeared again. "Um if you want the diamond, you can have it", said Rarity "JUST LEAVE ME ALONE" The shadow disappeared. "That was easy", said Rarity walking away She kept walking, until she reached a huge diamond. "It's beautiful", whispered Rarity running towards the diamond "Wow", said a voice Rarity turned around and saw a green earth pony filly with a white mane. "Are you a princess?", asked the filly "Me? A princess?", asked Rarity "No sweetie, Im not" "Really, I assumed you were one because of your beauty" "Aw, thank you…" "Emerald Club", said the filly "My name's Emerald Club" "Nice to meet you Emerald. Im Rarity" "Even your name is beautiful. Wanna come to my village? We can get you a wheel barrel for your diamond?" "That would be nice darling" "Great, just follow me" Rarity followed Emerald Club to her village. When they got there, Rarity was amazed about how beautiful it was. It was a white kingdom with an ivory castle and green houses. "Emerald, your home is beautiful", complimented Rarity putting the diamond down Suddenly, a group of green and white ponies surrounded Rarity and Emerald. "Everypony, this is Rarity", introduced Emerald The ponies stared in aw as they looked at Rarity. "How is your mane so beautiful?", asked one of the ponies "I just wash it and curl it", answered Rarity The ponies ooh'ed. They kept asking questions and Rarity didn't hesitate to answer them. "And that is how my friends and I saved Equestria", explained Rarity "Wait, your the element of Generousity?", asked one of the ponies "Indeed" "Rarity, you must be our princess", said Emerald "Your beautiful and generous, the perfect qualities to being a princess" "I don't know, if I wanna" "If you don't wanna be a princess, you can be our queen. Think about it, Queen Rarity" "Queen Rarity…that does have a nice ring to it" Rarity thought about it for a moment. "Ok, I'll do it" The ponies rejoiced as Rarity made her decision. They gave Rarity a diamond tiara with an emerald club on top of it. Later that night, Rarity was sleeping in her new bed. She was having a lovely dream, until a familiar shadow showed up. "Hello your majesty", greeted the shadow "Who-who are you?", asked Rarity scared "Im Sabine", said the shadow "Also known as your worst nightmare" "What do you want from me?" "Oh I want nothing from you…except your beauty" "My beauty?" Sabine used some dark magic and made the right side of Rarity's face black and distorted. "PLEASE DON'T TAKE MY BEAUTY", begged Rarity "I'll do anything" "Anything? Then I guess there's something you could do" "What is it?" "You must kill Emerald Club" Rarity was shocked about what she heard. "K-kill Emerald Club?", questioned Rarity "But she's just a sweet little filly" "Exactly, you killing her will make you miserable, and there's nothing that makes me more happy then misery" "No, I will not kill Emerald" "Then I guess you can same goodbye to your mane" Sabine used more of her magic to make Rarity's mane turn black with split ends. "Ok ok, I'll do it" "Excellent", said Sabine "And if you fail me, I'll posess you" Rarity woke up from her nightmare with tears in her eyes. She looked into here mirror and saw that the right side of her face was still hideous and her mane horrendous. "Time to do what must be done", said Rarity picking up a knife She carefully walked into Emerald's house careful not to wake her or her parents. When she got to her room, Rarity was on the verge of tears. She carefully walked to her bed while holding the knife with her magic. Emerald woke up. "Queen Rarity?", said Emerald "What are you doing?" "Im sorry Emerald", apoligized Rarity as she stabbed the filly Rarity used a pillow to muffle her screams. Everytime she stabbed Emerald, she apoligized. She stobbed when she saw that her bedsheets were covered in blood. Rarity ran out of the house crying. When she got back to her castle, she saw Sabine waiting for her. "The d-deed is done", said Rarity in between sobs showing her the bloody knife "Excellent", said Sabine with an evil grin "I did my end of the deal, NOW GET OUT" "I'll leave, but unfortunately for you, I never keep my end of the bargain" "W-what?! But you said you'll leave if I did it" "Im evil, what did you expect?" "But this is my country, and Im gonna rule it forever" "Not anymore" Sabine transformed into her shadow form and possessed Rarity. Rarity's eyes turned black with red pupils. Then Sabine in Rarity's body walked over to her vanity and put her tiara on her head. "Things are gonna be different from now on", said Sabine She starts singing once again. "The third ALICE was a charming white pony Beautiful and Generous in the Everfree She charmed ponies to her every beck and call She had made a white country and became the queen This new ALICE of the green club Was taken over by a horrifying dream She was afraid of losing her beauty She would forever rule her ivory kingdom" Sabine gave an evil laugh. Ch.6 The Fourth AlicesSabine was sitting on her throne. It had been two days since she possesed Rarity. On ocassion, Sabine would go to her mirror to chat with Rarity. "Your not gonna get away with this", said Rarity "I still have Twilight, Pinkie, and Applejack to save me" "Oh, Princess Twilight, will be easy to take care of", said Sabine "And Pinkie Pie and Applejack are long gone" "What are you talking about? The only ones who died are Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy" "Here, let me show you what happened" Sabine used her magic to show her memories. In her memories, was Applejack and Pinkie having a picnic. "Wow, today is super great. Isn't it Applejack?", said Pinkie "It sure is Pinkie", replied Applejack Suddenly, the wind started picking up, an it dropped an envelope on the ground. "What's this?", asked Pinkie Applejack picked it up an opened it. Inside the envelope was a playing card with a gold ace of hearts. "A card?", asked Applejack "Ooooh there's something written on the back", said Pinkie taking the card "What's it say?" "IT'S AN INVITATION TO A TEA PARTY" "Really, where?" "IN THE EVERFREE FOREST" "Pinkie, we know were not suppose to go in there" "I know, but if we go we'll have a SUPER DUPER GREAT TIME. Plus no one else went in the forest, so they'll never know." "Pinkie-" "C'mon Applejack, PLEEEEEEEEAASE" "Fine, but only for an hour" "YAY" Applejack and Pinkie Pie walked away. "You gave them an inventation to a tea party?", asked Rarity "That's right", said Sabine While her memories showed Applejack and Pinkie admiring the trees with yellow hearts on them. Sabine started singing "During this two ponies were having fun They had a nice picnic under apple trees An invitation from the queen for them was A golden ace of hearts" "Why are you singing?", asked Rarity "It tells the story better" Rarity looked at the memories again. "Where do we go?", asked Pinkie "Im guessing we follow that red path right here", replied Applejack pointing at a certain path "Oh no", said Rarity "Oh yes", replied Sabine as she continues singing "The fourth ALICE was two curious ponies Their curiousity of the card let them to The Everfree Going through many different types of areas Coming not too long ago in a yellow boat The energetic pink pony And hardworking orange pony Though they were the closest to the rhyming zebra's hut" A sound came from behind the bushes, and it scared Pinkie and Applejack "What was that?", asked Pinkie "I don't know", replied Applejack A mysterious pegasus popped out of the bushes, and decapitated Pinkie and Applejack. When the two mares screamed, the pegasus was shocked. "Oh my Celestia", said the pegasus on the verge of tears "What have I done?" Rarity was shocked about what she saw, and Sabine continued singing. "They were never woken from their deep dreaming Forever they wandered in the Everfree" "No", whispered Rarity with tears in her eyes "YES", said Sabine "But she would never do that" "She would when she's on a possesed kill lust" "You, possesed her?" "Oh I didn't just posses her. I also possesed Fluttershy, and now you. And as soon as that stupid princess gets here, I'll posses her, then I will turn Equestria into my own Everfree Wonderland" Sabine gave an evil laugh, before going back into the throne room. Author's Note So Rainbow Dash killed Pinkie and Applejack. DRAMA BOMB!!! I could use someone who can help with my coverart Ch.7 The WanderingSpike woke up one night with a nightmare. He looked at the clock and saw that it was 4 am. He got out of his basket and looked out the window. All he saw, was the night sky and the Everfree forest. "How can a forest so plain murder my friends?", asked Spike "Maybe they're not dead, maybe I still have a chance to save them." Spike grabbed a backpack and put his belongings in it. Then, he walked out the door. "I'll be back, Twilight", whispered Spike Spike walked through Ponyville, until he found himself at the edge of the Everfree. He walked in and saw all the trees covered in spades, diamonds, clubs, and hearts. "What's with the trees?", asked Spike Suddenly, Sabine appeared behind Spike. "Boo", said Sabine Spike screamed and turned around "Oh you shouldv'e seen your face, PRICELESS", said Sabine laughing "Are-Are you Sabine?", asked Spike shaking "The one and only" "Give me back my friends you monster!" "Oh Spike, your too late. Your friends are gone" "N-no they can't be dead" "Oh but they are. Let me show you" Sabine used her shadow magic to pick up Spike by the tail. Then, she showed Spike a bloody tree with parts Rainbow Dash on every branch. When Spike saw that, he vomited. "RAINBOW DASH" Sabine gave an evil laugh and started singing. "The first ALICE was a brave rainbow pony Wielding a sword in a hoof in the Everfree Slicing down everything in her wrath Every kill she has made, left a bloody path. This new ALICE of the red spade Was trapped by the forest as a wanted fugitive If it weren't for the red path that she had made Nopony would think that she even existed." Then she showed him Fluttershy's dead body laying on the blue stage with the red rose still in her eye. When Spike saw this, he started sobbing. "The second ALICE was a shy yellow pony She sang to the creatures of The Everfree Filling regions with so many bad High pitched notes That made the whole forest go crazy This new ALICE of the blue diamond Was shot by a bunny when things got out of hand It left a blue flower bloom sadly red The pony who was loved by all was now forgotten" Then, she took him to the mirror with Rarity in it. On the mirror was an SOS written in Rarity's blood. "The third ALICE was a charming white pony Beautiful and Generous in the Everfree She charmed ponies to her every beck and call She had made a white country and became the queen This new ALICE of the green club Was taken over by a horrifying dream She was afraid of losing her beauty She would forever rule her ivory kingdom." Then she showed him Pinkie and Applejack's heads on top a couple of a bushes. When Spike saw this, he fainted. "During this two ponies were having fun They had a nice picnic under apple trees An invitation from the queen for them was A golden ace of hearts The fourth ALICE was two curious ponies Their curiousity of the card let them to The Everfree Going through many different types of areas Coming not too long ago in a yellow boat The energetic pink pony And hardworking orange pony Though they were the closest to the rhyming zebra's hut They were never woken from their deep dreaming Forever they wandered in the Everfree" After she was finished, she dropped Spike. "They-They really are dead", stammered Spike shaking "That's what I've been saying", said Sabine in a sing-song voice "Please, get me out of here" "Oh your not going anywhere" "What?" "If I let you leave, you'll just tell that princess friend of yours what happened" "Uh yeah, cause your evil" "I know" Sabine took Spike and threw him in the mirror with Rarity. "Have fun you two", smirked Sabine walking away "HEY GET ME OUT OF HERE", yelled Spike banging on the mirror "TWILIGHT HELP" "Its no use", whispered a voice Spike turned around and saw Rarity. "Rarity", said Spike hugging her "Im so glad your alive" "Unfortunately I am" "Rarity, what happened?" "Sabine happened. She came into my dreams one night and told me to kill someone I loved. If I didn't she wouldv'e possesed me and made me ugly", explained Rarity showing him her eye "Oh no" "She tricked me and now Im here, and now Im ugly and I wanna die" "Rarity, please-" "Don't even bother, even if I did escape no pony would even love me" "I would" "Huh?" "I would still love you no matter what you look like" "Oh Spike" Rarity and Spike kissed. Author's Note SHIT JUST GOT REAL!!! And I apologize if you find this disturbing. Ch.8 The RescueTwilight woke up from her sleep when Zecora bursted through her door. "Zecora, looks like your feeling better", said Twilight "I don't know if you've heard, but Spike is doom", said Zecora "WHAT?!" "He snuck out late last night, he went to the Everfree for a fight" "Spike snuck out?" "Indeed, and your help is what he needs" "Your right. I have to save Spike" Twilight was about to fly out the door, but was stopped by Zecora. "There is something you must know about Sabine, something you might not have seen" "What is it?" While Zecora was explaining something to Twilight. Spike and Rarity were still in Sabine's mirror" "LET US OUT", yelled Spike "Not until that princess friend of yours shows up", said Sabine Suddenly, Twilight crashed through the walls of the Club Castle. "TWILIGHT", yelled Rarity and Spike "Princess Twilight Sparkle, so good of you too join us", said Sabine walking over to her "Why don't you join your friends?" "Save it, Sabine", barked Twilight "Im just here to put an end to you so I can save my friends" "Oooh determination, I like that" "You'll also like that I know how to stop you" "Oh really?" "You're not real. You're a dream" Sabine stood silent for a moment. "What did you just call me?" "A dream! Nothing but a figment of imagination created by Alice" "Ugh, that name!" "Ofcourse you would know that name because you killed Alice" Sabine stared at her for a moment. Then she laughed hystarically. "Oh honey, I didn't kill Alice. I AM ALICE" "WHAAAAAAAAT?!" "Yeah, the so called "friend" I created disappeared. Stupid cat" "Cat? As in Cheshire Cat?" "Yup, eversince I lost my friend, I went insane and turned into Sabine. I would've called myself Ecila, but that's cliche" "Once I'm done with you, you'll no longer be insane" Twilight casted a spell, but Sabine countered it with her shadow magic. They kept their magic battle for a couple of minutes until Twilight blasted Sabine. "YES", cheered Twilight Sabine got up and started to get angry. "You think your all that Princess?!", asked Sabine Sabine blasted her with shadow magic. "BUT YOU AINT NOTHING!", yelled Sabine blasting her Twilight fainted, but she woke up when she heard Spike. "Twilight", said Spike "C'mon Twilight you gotta get up. I believe in you" Twilight instantly got up and flew behind Sabine. She shot a magic projectile at Sabine, but she missed. "YOU MISSED", teased Sabine "Actually, I didn't" The magic projectile bounced off the mirror which set Rarity and Spike free. Then it hit Sabine in the back. Sabine gave an ear piercing screech. Then she fainted. Twilight walked up to her about to cast a spell. "Now let's cleanse your soul", said Twilight "NO NOOOOOOO", screamed Sabine as Twilight casted a spell A white glow engulfed Sabine. Suddenly, she transformed into a light blue unicorn mare with a blond mane with a teacup as her cutie mark. "Alice?", asked Twilight "Y-yes", replied the mare hugging Twilight "Thank you" "It was no problem" Suddenly, Alice started fading away. "Alice, what's happening to you?", asked Spike "Im dying. I was born in 1856. I don't belong here. Thank you again" Alice faded away. "So, now what?", asked Spike "I guess we should plan everypony's funerals", said Rarity "Actually, we don't", said Twilight "What do you mean, darling?", asked Rarity "This is actually a dream", said Twilight "Huh?", asked Rarity and Spike "Yup, and all we gotta do is wake up", explained Twilight "But how?", asked Spike "Wake up spell I learned from Zecora" Twilight performed the spell, and everything went blank. Author's Note Yup, it was a dream EpilogueWhen the mane six got to Sugarcube Cube corner, they noticed a moving cart. Next to the cart was a blue earth pony mare with a blond mane and a teacup as her cutie mark and a black unicorn filly with a red mane. Twilight and her friends walked over to them. "Hi, are you new to Ponyville?", asked Twilight "Yes, your majesty", replied the mare bowing "Oh you can just call me Twilight. And these are my friends, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Applejack, and Fluttershy" "Nice to meet you. Im Alice, and this is my daughter Sabine" The mane six stood there in shock as they realized they may still be dreaming. Author's Note Welp that's it. Ch.1 Problem With The EverfreeOne day in Ponyville, Twilight was sitting in her castle studying the latest spells, until there was a knock at the door. Twilight opened the door and saw Zecora covered in cuts and scrapes with blood dripping everywhere. "ZECORA!", yelled Twilight concerned "Twilight, you must listen to me", said Zecora, "There is something wrong with The Everfree" "What's wrong with it?", asked Twilight Before Zecora could say anything, she fainted while dripping blood on the floor. Twilight and Spike gasped. "Spike, get help", ordered Twilight "And find the girls too" "Right away", replied Spike running out the door Zecora has been out for a day until she finally woke up in Twilight's guest room. Nurse Redheart and the mane 5 were also there too. "Oh good she's awake", said Twilight "What happened to me?", asked Zecora, "Im feeling a bit woozy" "You passed out and due to a loss of a large amount of blood", explained Nurse Redheart "Luckily, your friend was here to save you." "So what happened Zecora?", asked Fluttershy "Were you attacked by a timber wolf?", asked Applejack "Oh I swear on my parents' graves that Im gonna-" "NO", interrupted Zecora "Thats not how I got my blow" "Then how did you get hurt?", asked Rarity "I was walking through the Everfree, that's what I do usually. But something strange happened today, the forest was awray.", explained Zecora "What do you mean?", asked Fluttershy "When I was looking for a rare flower, the forest gained an evil power. It tried to catch me with a tree, but it couldn't catch me", explained Zecora "So, same thing like last time?", asked Rainbow Dash "No, this time it is different", explained Zecora "Because the cycle of nature and magic was way out of bent. Time became slow, Mysterious new countries were made, even some murders were shown. I was attacked by a pony in cape, but luckily I escaped" "Is it the Tree of Harmony?", asked Twilight "No, Infact, the tree was intact", explained Zecora "What about that meanie weenie Tirek?", asked Pinkie "Pinkie, Tirek's guarded by Cerberus in Tarturas", explained Twilight "If it's not the tree or Tirek…then what is it?", asked Fluttershy "I don't know", replied Twilight, "But I should probably write to Celestia about this" "I think that would be for the best", said Zecora "I hope you don't mind, I need my rest" Zecora fell asleep, and the mane six looked at eachother. "Girls, I want you to promise me that you won't go into the forest", said Twilight "We promise", replied the mane five "I want you to Pinkie promise" "We cross our hearts and hope to fly and stick a cupcake in our eyes" "Good" The mane five walked out of Zecora's room, but what they didn't know was that Rainbow Dash has crossed her hooves. Ch.4 The Origin of The EverfreeZecora woke up and started breathing heavily. Spike came in with a plate of pancakes. "Oh Zecora, your awake", said Spike "Spike, get Twilight", said Zecora grabbing Spike and dropping his pancakes "Why?", asked Spike "I have news that will bring her fright", explained Zecora Spike ran off to grab Twilight. A few seconds later, they ran in. "What's wrong Zecora?", asked Twilight "I received news from the Everfree", said Zecora "Two of your friends are nowhere to be" Twilight gasped while Spike fainted. "It is true", said Zecora "Loyalty and kindness have been captured by red and blue" "RAINBOW DASH AND FLUTTERSHY?!", asked Spike "Red and Blue?", asked Twilight "Long ago in the Everfree. There was a happy filly. She had the braveness of a lion, and the heart of a giant. Her apearence was something you could not miss, her name was Alice", explained Zecora "Alice?", questioned Twilight "She went into the forest for some fun, but little did she know trouble has begun. She had a wild imagination, so in the forest she made a creation" "What do you mean?" "She made a country out of playing cards. And made areas with spades, diamonds, clubs, and hearts. She made things funny when she had tea parties with a bunny. She made things a delight when she made red roses white." "Wait, cards? Tea parties? White roses?", thought Twilight "IT'S ALICE IN WONDERLAND" "But wait", said Spike "I thought Wonderland was a dream" "The Everfree is not all that it seems", said Zecora "and Wonderland is no dream" "Wait, are you saying that The Everfree forest is Wonderland?", asked Twilight "Yes", said Zecora "You answered my guess" "But…but how?!", asked Spike "Alice called it Everfree, so you can be forever free", explained Zecora "What about the Queen of Hearts?", asked Spike "None was seen, they said she was the queen" "But how was the forest evil?", asked Twilight "After Alice's world was shown, she started to feel alone. She had made a friend Sabine, a shadow creature who Alice thought was not so mean. But Sabine had a heart of black so she started her attack." "You…you mean she killed Alice?", asked Spike Zecora nodded. "But she was a dream right, so she had to disappear…right?" "Sabine didnt want to leave", said Zecora "But she had a trick up her sleeve. She makes ponies leave their responsibilities behind, and strike them when they're blind" "So she lured ponies into the forest. The more they dream, the stronger she gets", said Twilight "But since she's evil, she runs on nightmares. She gives ponies good dreams, and when their defenses are low, she kills them with nightmares" "Where are the others?", asked Spike "Rarity is working and Applejack and Pinkie are having a picnic", said Twilight "We gotta get them here before they get lured in too" Twilight put Spike on her back and she flew off. "THANKS ZECORA", called Twilight Zecora passed out again. Ch.9 Waking UpTwilight, the mane five, and Spike woke up at Twilight's castle. "Whoa", said Twilight "That was scary" Suddenly, Rainbow Dash flew over to Pinkie and Applejack and hugged them. "Im sooooooo sorry", said Rainbow crying "Can you ever forgive me?" "Ofcourse we do, sugarcube", replied Applejack "Yeah, we know you didnt mean it", added Pinkie Fluttershy touched her eye and saw that there was no blood, or gunshot wound. She gave a sigh of relief. Then Rarity ran to the nearest mirror. "MY FACE", yelled Rarity Rarity looked into the mirror and saw that her face and mane were intact. "What are you talking about, Rarity?", asked Spike walking over to her "You look as beautiful as ever" "Thank you Spiky-Wikey", replied Rarity kissing him Spike was shocked about what she did. "You mean were still-", asked Spike "Of course", replied Rarity The mane five were touched about what they saw. "What do you say we all head over to Sugarcube Corner?", asked Twilight The mane five agreed and started walking to the bakery.
Ch.2 The First AliceRainbow Dash flew through the sky, until she reached the Everfree Forest. When she got there, she noticed that it was darker then usual. "This is gonna be awesome!", said Dash running into the forest. In the forest were trees covered with red spades. "Whoa it's like a deck of cards exploded in here", said Dash looking around She stopped when she saw a shadow like figure fly by her. "WHAT THE-!", yelled Dash, "WHO'S OUT THERE?! COME OUT AND FACE ME LIKE A PONY!" The shadow disappeared, and it's place was a silver sword with wings. "What's that?", asked Rainbow walking over to the sword. The sword had an inscription on the handle. "The Sword of a Thousand Heroes", said Dash reading the sword, "Seems legit." Rainbow grabbed the sword. Suddenly, there was a loud roar, and out of nowhere, a manticore jumped out through the bushes. Rainbow screamed and ran as fast as she could. She reached a cliff, and she turned around. The manticore was still chasing her. Rainbow brased for the impact, but when she opened her eyes, she saw the manticore lying on the grass with a stab wound on his head. Blood slowly dripped from the wound. Rainbow looked at her sword, and saw that she accidently stabbed the creature. "Whoa", said Rainbow admiring her sword, "This sword is AWESOME! With this I can kill the creatures in the forest, and Zecora could go back home safely" Rainbow flew back into a forest, without knowing that her sword was making a trail of blood. She started mudering monsters of all kind. From chimeras to cockatrices. She slayed a few dragons, and destroyed groups of parasprites. Her sword was so powerful that it even kills timber wolves without having them rebuild. Everytime she makes a kill, the blood path she made grew a little bit wider. Rainbow decided to take a break and saw a couple of jackalopes frolicking through the flowers. "Hm, I wander what it would be like to slay innocent creatures", said Dash drawing her sword She approached the jackalopes and decapted them. Their blood poured out like a river. She soon started murdering every creature in the forest. Even the innocent ones. "That felt good", said Rainbow as her eyes turned black with red pupils. She walked away while continuing her blood trail. Suddenly, she heard noises coming from behind a couple of bushes. Rainbow drew her sword and ran through the bushes, and killing the mysterious creatures. When she heard their screams, her eyes turned back to normal. She realized she had done something she wish she hasn't done. "Oh my Celestia", said Rainbow on the verge of tears, "What have I done" Suddenly, the trees turned red. The branches of the trees grabbed Rainbow and started pulling her towards the trees. Rainbow tried using her sword, but she dropped it. "NO NO LET ME GO YOU STUPID TREES", yelled Rainbow The trees pulled her into a cage, and the ceiling started to close on her. "Im sorry", whispered Rainbow crying The tree closed and made a bone crushing sound. Suddenly, the mysterious shadow showed up and started singing. The first ALICE was a brave rainbow pony Wielding a sword in a hoof in the Everfree Slicing down everything in her wrath Every kill she has made, left a bloody path. This new ALICE of the red spade Was trapped by the forest as a wanted fugitive If it weren't for the red path that she made Nopony would think that she even existed. The shadow gave an evil laugh and disappeared. Author's Note I changed the lyrics a bit, so it could match Dash. THE SONG IS NOT MINE
Ch.3 The Second AliceFluttershy was in her garden feeding her animals. She started to sing a little song, and all the animals clapped when she was done. "Oh thank you", said Fluttershy , "I guess my singing is getting better. I wish I can sing in fromt of everypony without getting nervous." Suddenly, Fluttershy's pet bunny, Angel, hopped off of Fluttershy's back and hopped away. "Angel, where are you going?", called Fluttershy chasing after him Fluttershy kept chasing him, until she saw that he went into the Everfree forest. She was about to go in there, but she stopped. "I can't go in there. Zecora said it's dangerous. Plus I made a Pinkie promise to Twilight.", said Fluttershy "But then again, Angel could get hurt." Fluttershy looked at the forest once again. "In and out", she whispered She ran into the forest scared as a mouse. When she stopped, she saw that the trees were covered with blue diamonds. "Why are the trees covered in diamonds?" Suddenly, the mysterious shadow appeared, and Fluttershy started to shake. "Um h-hello", said Fluttershy nervously The shadow disappeared and in it's place was Angel Bunny. "Angel, there you are", said Fluttershy running towards him "Fluttershy, you must come with me", said Angel "Ok Angel. Wait you can talk?" "Yes, but there's no time to explain" Angel lead Fluttershy to a blue stage. "Stand here", ordered Angel Fluttershy did so. The lights turn on and there was a bunch of angry blue animals looking at her. Fluttershy screamed and tried to hide. Angel hopped up to her. "Fluttershy, these animals haven't smiled for hundreds of years", explained Angel "The only way to make them smile is to sing to them" "I can't", said Fluttershy hiding "Im too scared" "Please Fluttershy, they need you" "Ok one song" Fluttershy stood up and started singing Music In The Trees. When she was done. All of the animals cheered for her. "FLUTTERSHY FLUTTERSHY FLUTTERSHY", chanted the animals "Well that was fun, but we must be going. Come on Angel", said Fluttershy Fluttershy was about to walk on stage, but she was blocked by Angel. "Please Fluttershy, you must sing another song", said Angel "These animals can't stay happy forever" "Well, maybe a few more songs", said Fluttershy Fluttershy sang more sangs, but something was wrong. The more she sang, the more her voice turns demonic. Soon her loving fans turned into despisers. Their cheers turned to boos. Suddenly, when she was in the middle of a song, someone threw an apple at her. "BOO GET OFF THE STAGE", yelled a crowd member Fluttershy started to get angry and she turned to the crowd. "YOUR GONNA LOVE ME", yelled Fluttershy as her eyes turned evil like Rainbow's Fluttershy sang so deadly, that the animal's ears exploded, and blood started dripping out. Fluttershy continued singing until she heard a loud bang. She felt a sharp pain on her left eye. She put her hoof there and saw blood. Somepony shot her in the eye. Fluttershy fainted, and when she looked up, she saw Angel holding a pistol. "Angel", said Fluttershy as her eyes tirned back to normal, "How could you?" "Im sorry, Fluttershy", said Angel as he puts a blue rose on Fluttershy's wound, "But you went crazy. It's for the best" Fluttershy died while her blood turned the blue rose red. Suddenly, the shadow reappeared and started singing again. "The second ALICE was a shy yellow pony She sang to the creatures of The Everfree Filling regions with so many flat high pitched notes That made the whole forest go crazy This new ALICE of the blue diamond Was shot by a bunny when things got out of hand It left a blue flower bloom sadly red The pony who was loved by all was now forgotten"
Ch.5 The Third AliceRarity was working on her latest design for Sapphire Shores, until her horn started to glow. "There must be a rare gem near by", thought Rarity Rarity followed her horn, but she stopped when she found out she was near the Everfree forest. "Oh no, Im not going in there", said Rarity turning around She was about to walk away, until she saw something shiny in the forest. "SHINY GEM", yelled Rarity running in the forest. Inside the forest was trees covered with green clubs (the clover signs on cards). "The trees look extremely tacky", said Rarity Suddenly, the shadow appeared again. "Um if you want the diamond, you can have it", said Rarity "JUST LEAVE ME ALONE" The shadow disappeared. "That was easy", said Rarity walking away She kept walking, until she reached a huge diamond. "It's beautiful", whispered Rarity running towards the diamond "Wow", said a voice Rarity turned around and saw a green earth pony filly with a white mane. "Are you a princess?", asked the filly "Me? A princess?", asked Rarity "No sweetie, Im not" "Really, I assumed you were one because of your beauty" "Aw, thank you…" "Emerald Club", said the filly "My name's Emerald Club" "Nice to meet you Emerald. Im Rarity" "Even your name is beautiful. Wanna come to my village? We can get you a wheel barrel for your diamond?" "That would be nice darling" "Great, just follow me" Rarity followed Emerald Club to her village. When they got there, Rarity was amazed about how beautiful it was. It was a white kingdom with an ivory castle and green houses. "Emerald, your home is beautiful", complimented Rarity putting the diamond down Suddenly, a group of green and white ponies surrounded Rarity and Emerald. "Everypony, this is Rarity", introduced Emerald The ponies stared in aw as they looked at Rarity. "How is your mane so beautiful?", asked one of the ponies "I just wash it and curl it", answered Rarity The ponies ooh'ed. They kept asking questions and Rarity didn't hesitate to answer them. "And that is how my friends and I saved Equestria", explained Rarity "Wait, your the element of Generousity?", asked one of the ponies "Indeed" "Rarity, you must be our princess", said Emerald "Your beautiful and generous, the perfect qualities to being a princess" "I don't know, if I wanna" "If you don't wanna be a princess, you can be our queen. Think about it, Queen Rarity" "Queen Rarity…that does have a nice ring to it" Rarity thought about it for a moment. "Ok, I'll do it" The ponies rejoiced as Rarity made her decision. They gave Rarity a diamond tiara with an emerald club on top of it. Later that night, Rarity was sleeping in her new bed. She was having a lovely dream, until a familiar shadow showed up. "Hello your majesty", greeted the shadow "Who-who are you?", asked Rarity scared "Im Sabine", said the shadow "Also known as your worst nightmare" "What do you want from me?" "Oh I want nothing from you…except your beauty" "My beauty?" Sabine used some dark magic and made the right side of Rarity's face black and distorted. "PLEASE DON'T TAKE MY BEAUTY", begged Rarity "I'll do anything" "Anything? Then I guess there's something you could do" "What is it?" "You must kill Emerald Club" Rarity was shocked about what she heard. "K-kill Emerald Club?", questioned Rarity "But she's just a sweet little filly" "Exactly, you killing her will make you miserable, and there's nothing that makes me more happy then misery" "No, I will not kill Emerald" "Then I guess you can same goodbye to your mane" Sabine used more of her magic to make Rarity's mane turn black with split ends. "Ok ok, I'll do it" "Excellent", said Sabine "And if you fail me, I'll posess you" Rarity woke up from her nightmare with tears in her eyes. She looked into here mirror and saw that the right side of her face was still hideous and her mane horrendous. "Time to do what must be done", said Rarity picking up a knife She carefully walked into Emerald's house careful not to wake her or her parents. When she got to her room, Rarity was on the verge of tears. She carefully walked to her bed while holding the knife with her magic. Emerald woke up. "Queen Rarity?", said Emerald "What are you doing?" "Im sorry Emerald", apoligized Rarity as she stabbed the filly Rarity used a pillow to muffle her screams. Everytime she stabbed Emerald, she apoligized. She stobbed when she saw that her bedsheets were covered in blood. Rarity ran out of the house crying. When she got back to her castle, she saw Sabine waiting for her. "The d-deed is done", said Rarity in between sobs showing her the bloody knife "Excellent", said Sabine with an evil grin "I did my end of the deal, NOW GET OUT" "I'll leave, but unfortunately for you, I never keep my end of the bargain" "W-what?! But you said you'll leave if I did it" "Im evil, what did you expect?" "But this is my country, and Im gonna rule it forever" "Not anymore" Sabine transformed into her shadow form and possessed Rarity. Rarity's eyes turned black with red pupils. Then Sabine in Rarity's body walked over to her vanity and put her tiara on her head. "Things are gonna be different from now on", said Sabine She starts singing once again. "The third ALICE was a charming white pony Beautiful and Generous in the Everfree She charmed ponies to her every beck and call She had made a white country and became the queen This new ALICE of the green club Was taken over by a horrifying dream She was afraid of losing her beauty She would forever rule her ivory kingdom" Sabine gave an evil laugh.
Ch.6 The Fourth AlicesSabine was sitting on her throne. It had been two days since she possesed Rarity. On ocassion, Sabine would go to her mirror to chat with Rarity. "Your not gonna get away with this", said Rarity "I still have Twilight, Pinkie, and Applejack to save me" "Oh, Princess Twilight, will be easy to take care of", said Sabine "And Pinkie Pie and Applejack are long gone" "What are you talking about? The only ones who died are Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy" "Here, let me show you what happened" Sabine used her magic to show her memories. In her memories, was Applejack and Pinkie having a picnic. "Wow, today is super great. Isn't it Applejack?", said Pinkie "It sure is Pinkie", replied Applejack Suddenly, the wind started picking up, an it dropped an envelope on the ground. "What's this?", asked Pinkie Applejack picked it up an opened it. Inside the envelope was a playing card with a gold ace of hearts. "A card?", asked Applejack "Ooooh there's something written on the back", said Pinkie taking the card "What's it say?" "IT'S AN INVITATION TO A TEA PARTY" "Really, where?" "IN THE EVERFREE FOREST" "Pinkie, we know were not suppose to go in there" "I know, but if we go we'll have a SUPER DUPER GREAT TIME. Plus no one else went in the forest, so they'll never know." "Pinkie-" "C'mon Applejack, PLEEEEEEEEAASE" "Fine, but only for an hour" "YAY" Applejack and Pinkie Pie walked away. "You gave them an inventation to a tea party?", asked Rarity "That's right", said Sabine While her memories showed Applejack and Pinkie admiring the trees with yellow hearts on them. Sabine started singing "During this two ponies were having fun They had a nice picnic under apple trees An invitation from the queen for them was A golden ace of hearts" "Why are you singing?", asked Rarity "It tells the story better" Rarity looked at the memories again. "Where do we go?", asked Pinkie "Im guessing we follow that red path right here", replied Applejack pointing at a certain path "Oh no", said Rarity "Oh yes", replied Sabine as she continues singing "The fourth ALICE was two curious ponies Their curiousity of the card let them to The Everfree Going through many different types of areas Coming not too long ago in a yellow boat The energetic pink pony And hardworking orange pony Though they were the closest to the rhyming zebra's hut" A sound came from behind the bushes, and it scared Pinkie and Applejack "What was that?", asked Pinkie "I don't know", replied Applejack A mysterious pegasus popped out of the bushes, and decapitated Pinkie and Applejack. When the two mares screamed, the pegasus was shocked. "Oh my Celestia", said the pegasus on the verge of tears "What have I done?" Rarity was shocked about what she saw, and Sabine continued singing. "They were never woken from their deep dreaming Forever they wandered in the Everfree" "No", whispered Rarity with tears in her eyes "YES", said Sabine "But she would never do that" "She would when she's on a possesed kill lust" "You, possesed her?" "Oh I didn't just posses her. I also possesed Fluttershy, and now you. And as soon as that stupid princess gets here, I'll posses her, then I will turn Equestria into my own Everfree Wonderland" Sabine gave an evil laugh, before going back into the throne room. Author's Note So Rainbow Dash killed Pinkie and Applejack. DRAMA BOMB!!! I could use someone who can help with my coverart
Ch.7 The WanderingSpike woke up one night with a nightmare. He looked at the clock and saw that it was 4 am. He got out of his basket and looked out the window. All he saw, was the night sky and the Everfree forest. "How can a forest so plain murder my friends?", asked Spike "Maybe they're not dead, maybe I still have a chance to save them." Spike grabbed a backpack and put his belongings in it. Then, he walked out the door. "I'll be back, Twilight", whispered Spike Spike walked through Ponyville, until he found himself at the edge of the Everfree. He walked in and saw all the trees covered in spades, diamonds, clubs, and hearts. "What's with the trees?", asked Spike Suddenly, Sabine appeared behind Spike. "Boo", said Sabine Spike screamed and turned around "Oh you shouldv'e seen your face, PRICELESS", said Sabine laughing "Are-Are you Sabine?", asked Spike shaking "The one and only" "Give me back my friends you monster!" "Oh Spike, your too late. Your friends are gone" "N-no they can't be dead" "Oh but they are. Let me show you" Sabine used her shadow magic to pick up Spike by the tail. Then, she showed Spike a bloody tree with parts Rainbow Dash on every branch. When Spike saw that, he vomited. "RAINBOW DASH" Sabine gave an evil laugh and started singing. "The first ALICE was a brave rainbow pony Wielding a sword in a hoof in the Everfree Slicing down everything in her wrath Every kill she has made, left a bloody path. This new ALICE of the red spade Was trapped by the forest as a wanted fugitive If it weren't for the red path that she had made Nopony would think that she even existed." Then she showed him Fluttershy's dead body laying on the blue stage with the red rose still in her eye. When Spike saw this, he started sobbing. "The second ALICE was a shy yellow pony She sang to the creatures of The Everfree Filling regions with so many bad High pitched notes That made the whole forest go crazy This new ALICE of the blue diamond Was shot by a bunny when things got out of hand It left a blue flower bloom sadly red The pony who was loved by all was now forgotten" Then, she took him to the mirror with Rarity in it. On the mirror was an SOS written in Rarity's blood. "The third ALICE was a charming white pony Beautiful and Generous in the Everfree She charmed ponies to her every beck and call She had made a white country and became the queen This new ALICE of the green club Was taken over by a horrifying dream She was afraid of losing her beauty She would forever rule her ivory kingdom." Then she showed him Pinkie and Applejack's heads on top a couple of a bushes. When Spike saw this, he fainted. "During this two ponies were having fun They had a nice picnic under apple trees An invitation from the queen for them was A golden ace of hearts The fourth ALICE was two curious ponies Their curiousity of the card let them to The Everfree Going through many different types of areas Coming not too long ago in a yellow boat The energetic pink pony And hardworking orange pony Though they were the closest to the rhyming zebra's hut They were never woken from their deep dreaming Forever they wandered in the Everfree" After she was finished, she dropped Spike. "They-They really are dead", stammered Spike shaking "That's what I've been saying", said Sabine in a sing-song voice "Please, get me out of here" "Oh your not going anywhere" "What?" "If I let you leave, you'll just tell that princess friend of yours what happened" "Uh yeah, cause your evil" "I know" Sabine took Spike and threw him in the mirror with Rarity. "Have fun you two", smirked Sabine walking away "HEY GET ME OUT OF HERE", yelled Spike banging on the mirror "TWILIGHT HELP" "Its no use", whispered a voice Spike turned around and saw Rarity. "Rarity", said Spike hugging her "Im so glad your alive" "Unfortunately I am" "Rarity, what happened?" "Sabine happened. She came into my dreams one night and told me to kill someone I loved. If I didn't she wouldv'e possesed me and made me ugly", explained Rarity showing him her eye "Oh no" "She tricked me and now Im here, and now Im ugly and I wanna die" "Rarity, please-" "Don't even bother, even if I did escape no pony would even love me" "I would" "Huh?" "I would still love you no matter what you look like" "Oh Spike" Rarity and Spike kissed. Author's Note SHIT JUST GOT REAL!!! And I apologize if you find this disturbing.
Ch.8 The RescueTwilight woke up from her sleep when Zecora bursted through her door. "Zecora, looks like your feeling better", said Twilight "I don't know if you've heard, but Spike is doom", said Zecora "WHAT?!" "He snuck out late last night, he went to the Everfree for a fight" "Spike snuck out?" "Indeed, and your help is what he needs" "Your right. I have to save Spike" Twilight was about to fly out the door, but was stopped by Zecora. "There is something you must know about Sabine, something you might not have seen" "What is it?" While Zecora was explaining something to Twilight. Spike and Rarity were still in Sabine's mirror" "LET US OUT", yelled Spike "Not until that princess friend of yours shows up", said Sabine Suddenly, Twilight crashed through the walls of the Club Castle. "TWILIGHT", yelled Rarity and Spike "Princess Twilight Sparkle, so good of you too join us", said Sabine walking over to her "Why don't you join your friends?" "Save it, Sabine", barked Twilight "Im just here to put an end to you so I can save my friends" "Oooh determination, I like that" "You'll also like that I know how to stop you" "Oh really?" "You're not real. You're a dream" Sabine stood silent for a moment. "What did you just call me?" "A dream! Nothing but a figment of imagination created by Alice" "Ugh, that name!" "Ofcourse you would know that name because you killed Alice" Sabine stared at her for a moment. Then she laughed hystarically. "Oh honey, I didn't kill Alice. I AM ALICE" "WHAAAAAAAAT?!" "Yeah, the so called "friend" I created disappeared. Stupid cat" "Cat? As in Cheshire Cat?" "Yup, eversince I lost my friend, I went insane and turned into Sabine. I would've called myself Ecila, but that's cliche" "Once I'm done with you, you'll no longer be insane" Twilight casted a spell, but Sabine countered it with her shadow magic. They kept their magic battle for a couple of minutes until Twilight blasted Sabine. "YES", cheered Twilight Sabine got up and started to get angry. "You think your all that Princess?!", asked Sabine Sabine blasted her with shadow magic. "BUT YOU AINT NOTHING!", yelled Sabine blasting her Twilight fainted, but she woke up when she heard Spike. "Twilight", said Spike "C'mon Twilight you gotta get up. I believe in you" Twilight instantly got up and flew behind Sabine. She shot a magic projectile at Sabine, but she missed. "YOU MISSED", teased Sabine "Actually, I didn't" The magic projectile bounced off the mirror which set Rarity and Spike free. Then it hit Sabine in the back. Sabine gave an ear piercing screech. Then she fainted. Twilight walked up to her about to cast a spell. "Now let's cleanse your soul", said Twilight "NO NOOOOOOO", screamed Sabine as Twilight casted a spell A white glow engulfed Sabine. Suddenly, she transformed into a light blue unicorn mare with a blond mane with a teacup as her cutie mark. "Alice?", asked Twilight "Y-yes", replied the mare hugging Twilight "Thank you" "It was no problem" Suddenly, Alice started fading away. "Alice, what's happening to you?", asked Spike "Im dying. I was born in 1856. I don't belong here. Thank you again" Alice faded away. "So, now what?", asked Spike "I guess we should plan everypony's funerals", said Rarity "Actually, we don't", said Twilight "What do you mean, darling?", asked Rarity "This is actually a dream", said Twilight "Huh?", asked Rarity and Spike "Yup, and all we gotta do is wake up", explained Twilight "But how?", asked Spike "Wake up spell I learned from Zecora" Twilight performed the spell, and everything went blank. Author's Note Yup, it was a dream
EpilogueWhen the mane six got to Sugarcube Cube corner, they noticed a moving cart. Next to the cart was a blue earth pony mare with a blond mane and a teacup as her cutie mark and a black unicorn filly with a red mane. Twilight and her friends walked over to them. "Hi, are you new to Ponyville?", asked Twilight "Yes, your majesty", replied the mare bowing "Oh you can just call me Twilight. And these are my friends, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Applejack, and Fluttershy" "Nice to meet you. Im Alice, and this is my daughter Sabine" The mane six stood there in shock as they realized they may still be dreaming. Author's Note Welp that's it.
Ch.1 Problem With The EverfreeOne day in Ponyville, Twilight was sitting in her castle studying the latest spells, until there was a knock at the door. Twilight opened the door and saw Zecora covered in cuts and scrapes with blood dripping everywhere. "ZECORA!", yelled Twilight concerned "Twilight, you must listen to me", said Zecora, "There is something wrong with The Everfree" "What's wrong with it?", asked Twilight Before Zecora could say anything, she fainted while dripping blood on the floor. Twilight and Spike gasped. "Spike, get help", ordered Twilight "And find the girls too" "Right away", replied Spike running out the door Zecora has been out for a day until she finally woke up in Twilight's guest room. Nurse Redheart and the mane 5 were also there too. "Oh good she's awake", said Twilight "What happened to me?", asked Zecora, "Im feeling a bit woozy" "You passed out and due to a loss of a large amount of blood", explained Nurse Redheart "Luckily, your friend was here to save you." "So what happened Zecora?", asked Fluttershy "Were you attacked by a timber wolf?", asked Applejack "Oh I swear on my parents' graves that Im gonna-" "NO", interrupted Zecora "Thats not how I got my blow" "Then how did you get hurt?", asked Rarity "I was walking through the Everfree, that's what I do usually. But something strange happened today, the forest was awray.", explained Zecora "What do you mean?", asked Fluttershy "When I was looking for a rare flower, the forest gained an evil power. It tried to catch me with a tree, but it couldn't catch me", explained Zecora "So, same thing like last time?", asked Rainbow Dash "No, this time it is different", explained Zecora "Because the cycle of nature and magic was way out of bent. Time became slow, Mysterious new countries were made, even some murders were shown. I was attacked by a pony in cape, but luckily I escaped" "Is it the Tree of Harmony?", asked Twilight "No, Infact, the tree was intact", explained Zecora "What about that meanie weenie Tirek?", asked Pinkie "Pinkie, Tirek's guarded by Cerberus in Tarturas", explained Twilight "If it's not the tree or Tirek…then what is it?", asked Fluttershy "I don't know", replied Twilight, "But I should probably write to Celestia about this" "I think that would be for the best", said Zecora "I hope you don't mind, I need my rest" Zecora fell asleep, and the mane six looked at eachother. "Girls, I want you to promise me that you won't go into the forest", said Twilight "We promise", replied the mane five "I want you to Pinkie promise" "We cross our hearts and hope to fly and stick a cupcake in our eyes" "Good" The mane five walked out of Zecora's room, but what they didn't know was that Rainbow Dash has crossed her hooves.
Ch.4 The Origin of The EverfreeZecora woke up and started breathing heavily. Spike came in with a plate of pancakes. "Oh Zecora, your awake", said Spike "Spike, get Twilight", said Zecora grabbing Spike and dropping his pancakes "Why?", asked Spike "I have news that will bring her fright", explained Zecora Spike ran off to grab Twilight. A few seconds later, they ran in. "What's wrong Zecora?", asked Twilight "I received news from the Everfree", said Zecora "Two of your friends are nowhere to be" Twilight gasped while Spike fainted. "It is true", said Zecora "Loyalty and kindness have been captured by red and blue" "RAINBOW DASH AND FLUTTERSHY?!", asked Spike "Red and Blue?", asked Twilight "Long ago in the Everfree. There was a happy filly. She had the braveness of a lion, and the heart of a giant. Her apearence was something you could not miss, her name was Alice", explained Zecora "Alice?", questioned Twilight "She went into the forest for some fun, but little did she know trouble has begun. She had a wild imagination, so in the forest she made a creation" "What do you mean?" "She made a country out of playing cards. And made areas with spades, diamonds, clubs, and hearts. She made things funny when she had tea parties with a bunny. She made things a delight when she made red roses white." "Wait, cards? Tea parties? White roses?", thought Twilight "IT'S ALICE IN WONDERLAND" "But wait", said Spike "I thought Wonderland was a dream" "The Everfree is not all that it seems", said Zecora "and Wonderland is no dream" "Wait, are you saying that The Everfree forest is Wonderland?", asked Twilight "Yes", said Zecora "You answered my guess" "But…but how?!", asked Spike "Alice called it Everfree, so you can be forever free", explained Zecora "What about the Queen of Hearts?", asked Spike "None was seen, they said she was the queen" "But how was the forest evil?", asked Twilight "After Alice's world was shown, she started to feel alone. She had made a friend Sabine, a shadow creature who Alice thought was not so mean. But Sabine had a heart of black so she started her attack." "You…you mean she killed Alice?", asked Spike Zecora nodded. "But she was a dream right, so she had to disappear…right?" "Sabine didnt want to leave", said Zecora "But she had a trick up her sleeve. She makes ponies leave their responsibilities behind, and strike them when they're blind" "So she lured ponies into the forest. The more they dream, the stronger she gets", said Twilight "But since she's evil, she runs on nightmares. She gives ponies good dreams, and when their defenses are low, she kills them with nightmares" "Where are the others?", asked Spike "Rarity is working and Applejack and Pinkie are having a picnic", said Twilight "We gotta get them here before they get lured in too" Twilight put Spike on her back and she flew off. "THANKS ZECORA", called Twilight Zecora passed out again.
Ch.9 Waking UpTwilight, the mane five, and Spike woke up at Twilight's castle. "Whoa", said Twilight "That was scary" Suddenly, Rainbow Dash flew over to Pinkie and Applejack and hugged them. "Im sooooooo sorry", said Rainbow crying "Can you ever forgive me?" "Ofcourse we do, sugarcube", replied Applejack "Yeah, we know you didnt mean it", added Pinkie Fluttershy touched her eye and saw that there was no blood, or gunshot wound. She gave a sigh of relief. Then Rarity ran to the nearest mirror. "MY FACE", yelled Rarity Rarity looked into the mirror and saw that her face and mane were intact. "What are you talking about, Rarity?", asked Spike walking over to her "You look as beautiful as ever" "Thank you Spiky-Wikey", replied Rarity kissing him Spike was shocked about what she did. "You mean were still-", asked Spike "Of course", replied Rarity The mane five were touched about what they saw. "What do you say we all head over to Sugarcube Corner?", asked Twilight The mane five agreed and started walking to the bakery.
