Deep in the Everfree

Fluttershy went to Pinkie's house. Before knocking on the door, Fluttershy took note of the message on the door to the bakery.

GONE TO DASHIE'S

--PINKIE

Fluttershy turned around and sighed. Rainbow Dash's house wasn't much farther away, but it had better be worth it. Time was being wasted. She flew upward, the icy wind in the sky hitting her face like hail. As she neared the cloud house, she saw the familiar balloon Pinkie always used to fly herself up. However, Pinkie was in it, not inside Rainbow's house. She spotted Fluttershy.

"Fluttershy," she yelled, "Rainbow Dash has been taken!"

"What?" Fluttershy sped over. "W-what do you mean?"

"There was a bunch of blood, and broken glass, and she's not here! And I found a note. It just says 'Everfree Cave'! What do we do?"

"Um, I g-g-guess we have to go... um... in the cave...

"What?"

"We have to go in the... cave?"

"Well come on, then! Silly goose, we can fly right over!"

"No," Fluttershy said, "no. I lost the fillies. I was going to ask you if you had seen them."

Pinkie Pie gasped. "You lost them again? We need to go find 'em!"

Without warning, Fluttershy was grabbed and dragged into Pinkie's balloon.

As the pair landed in the Everfree Forest, Fluttershy felt chills crawl up her spine. "I don't like this," she said. "Not at all."

"Me neither," Pinkie said, "but we can't leave them here. Let's get goin'!"

Fluttershy slowly inched her way through some bushes. Unfortunately, even without trying the duo stumbled upon the cave before the fillies. A hooded mare was standing with her back turned, talking to some timberwolves. They seemed docile.

Cautiously, Pinkie and Fluttershy went inside the cave. Inside were the bloodied bones of other ponies and the powerful smell of iron. Fluttershy nearly gagged, but Pinkie Pie merely hopped along. Reaching a room with a covered cage, the two realized they were in the right spot. Around the room were other cages, though they weren't covered. Instead, they helped timberwolves. Puppies, specifically, and they appeared to have been abused by the hooded mare.

Fluttershy, wincing, removed the cover on the cage. Rainbow Dash, gagged with a blood-caked cloth, was standing inside. Fluttershy cried. "Rainbow Dash!"

"Mmmf!"

Pinkie Pie stuck her tail into the lock. Click.

"Pinkie," Fluttershy said, "how did you-"

"No time for chit-chat," she barked. Pinkie Pie helped Rainbow Dash step out of the cage and removed the cloth. "Thank Celestia," Rainbow said, "you guys are awesome. Let's bail."

Pinkie Pie smiled. "The exit is this way, Dashie!"

Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash followed the pink mare back the way they came. When they emerged, however, Scootaloo and the hooded mare were waiting for them.

"Rainbow Dash," Scootaloo said, "I'm so sorry."

"Wait," said Rainbow Dash, "what did you do?"

The mare chuckled and removed the hood, levitating the spell book in front of her. Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie gasped simultaneously.

"Scootaloo just gave the Great and Powerful Trixie a way into Ponyville. Say goodbye. Forever."

Her horn flashed, and all was dark.
