The foals in the Everfree Forest

An so time passes an everypony florished in their new homes. The red colt that mouthed off to New Fortune was called Hawthorn Stomps, he soon established himself as the leader of the town, due to his bossy nature. After figuring out what each ponys role, they began setting up the town to their liking. Lucky for these foals, the dirt is exceptionally fertile, and they managed to grow a garden quickly that could feed everypony. Beforehand, they were lucky to have apple trees in town, but after a while, a ponys appitite likes veriety. With passing time, the foals grew, and a few couples began making families of their own. New Fortune would drop by only a few rare times to see their progress, but never interacting with them, appearing as if he were a shadow. Everypony for the most part was getting along and happy with their new life. With a promising future, the ponies named the place Sunnytown, for it`s bright future.

¨Hey Swamp Hop!¨ Lily Skipper flew around town trying to find her pal to give a package to. She was the town mailmare, and did her best at her job. ¨ Over here!¨ Shouted the mud brown colt with messy blue hair,  he stood at the edge of town, a pathway right behind him. Lily laned on the ground with her jaw wide open, ¨THAT! Was not here before! Hops, what do you think your doing!?¨ Swamp Hop rested a hoof on her back as he pointed with the other, ¨I found that this morning, and it seems nopony is daring enough to go throu it. I threw rocks at the pathway, you know if anything that lived in the forest saw a tossed rock, they would approch it! We learned THAT when we first figured out our mysterious founders words of never leaving town. Come on Lily, that aint no pony Id rather be with than you, well be the first explores of Sunnytown!¨ Lily Skipper however was unsure of the path. He wings folded in from her nervous state, he legs shaking. She suddenly felt a firm grip around her, and she turn to Swamp Hop to see his reassuring smile. She then nodded, knowing Swamp Hop to be the trust worthy pony that shes known him to be. Holding hooves, they walked into the mystrious pathway, deep into its unknown.

The two ponies walked the drak and eerie pathway, feeling eyes on them that sent shivers down both their spines. The pony couple held onto each other, finding comfort in each others company. Eventually, they come across a new small clearing, big enough to make a home in. Swamp Hop troted around ahead of Lily, looking about and feeling  warm sun beams trying to peirce the thick of the high rise trees. The warmth and glow gave the clearing a new dawn effect, something both ponies loved bask in, remembering waking up to the warm rising sun. They both felt blissful, and smiled at each other, Lilys wings opening up to feel the orange sun glow on her wings. ¨Lily, this place is beautiful! It feels like a summer dawn even thou its the middle of the afternoon! An from the looks of it, you could fly a good 40 feet into the air before you hit the tree canopy, an if there are any Grabbers,just avoided going five feet near the canopy,¨Swamp Hop mentioned as he survade the new place. Lily Skippers memory was jolted to one event of their frist week. A colt peguses didnt belive their founders rules, and tried to fly above the clearing`s tree canopy above town. only to be suddenly grabbed by barbed covered vines. Everypony there chucked rocks at the vines, eventually dropping the colt to the ground. Later on they found out that there are carnivorus plants that hang along the tops of trees, launching their vines at anything that flys by them to eat, earning the nick name Grabbers. Lily dreaded the day she would ever have to come across such a plant. Her mind then jolted back to her task as she tries to forget the the plants that make her fur crawl. ¨Oh, Hops, This came in for you today, a package from Stone Shiner, What did you get from him?¨ She had asks as she gives him the package. He slowly opened it and revealed a shiny clear cystal in his hooves. He than got down and raised it to her with a hopeful yet nervous smile.

¨Lily Skipper, you have been the bestest friend to me, and a wonderful expoler partner. If I ask you to be my special somepony for as long as we live...?¨ Swamp Hop looked at her with redding cheeks, blushing through his fur. Lily held her hooves to her muzzle, completely shocked at him. It only took her a second before she answered him ¨YES! Oh yes Swamp Hop, yes I will!¨ She cried and they held each other as the couple celebrated their engagement together. ¨Its settled then, well get married, make a home here, and maybe make a foal or two as we grow old together.¨ Swamp Hop declared. An so the pony couple got hitched together, and made their home in the clearing. With passing time, the grown blank flanks started having more foals together, and a new generation of Sunny town residents would grow. However for the new parents, even with all they acomplish, there was a emptyness that rested in each of their hearts Their paradise under the sun would soon fall apart, as unseen events that nopony could fathom. lead to their down fall.
