Dealing With Life... Maybe isn't so bad...?

Sharp smiles warmly, loving the feeling of knowing she isn't being left, and starts heading out the house. She looks up at the moon, noticing the moon seems much brighter than before. She looks towards the street that twists and turns around the Everfree Forest, giving it a quizzical glance. Although this may be the safest route, it would take the longest. And plus--who's to know it's the safest? Sharp, deciding to avoid the road, goes through the Everfree Forest, weaving between the trees, and avoiding the ditches. Skipping happily through the forest, Sharp forgets to pay attention to her surroundings, and not on her own thoughts: Oh, I wonder what they have planned? It could be anything! Maybe it's a cake? Oh, or even a new article of clothing? I'd love a new dress! Maybe it's from-- She trips on a fallen log, falling into the den of a half-wolf, the occupant of the den growling at Sharp. Sharp, getting her bearings, looks cautiously at the half-wolf, backing up slowly, trying to apologize. "O-Oh... I'm so... Sorry, mister... Or miss..." Please don't hurt me... Please let me get out of here alive... "I didn't mean to fall into here..."

"Be more careful next time," the half-wolf growls, looking a bit more relaxed with Sharp, loping over to her to lick the scratches. "...Did... You...?" "Yes, little one. I was able to communicate with you, It's something I can do with all, 'tis a gift given to me from my birth." Sounds more like a curse... Sharp reaches the edge of the den, nodding at the half-wolf, "Thank you mister..." "Wolf. Call me Wolf." "...Okay then. Have fun!" Sharp starts skipping again, watching out for more fallen logs, or anything she could trip on.

She finally reaches the edge of the forest, getting a strange feeling, but she shrugs it off. Probably nothing, she thinks to herself, trying to keep herself calm. Aimlessly wandering through Ponyville, she looks for Sugarcube Corner, dreading the emptyness of the dirt roads, wishing for at least one other individual in sight. The shadows cast by the moon doesn't make the area any less creepy... Slowly, Sharp walks towards Sugarcube Corner, trying to ignore the feeling of dread rising up in her belly. Come on, Sharpie. It's most likely nothing, just probably from being alone out here in this... Isolated... Dirt road... Behind Sharp, a twig snaps, and she quickly dashes to the building, turning to look behind her, seeing nothing. Scorning herself, she turns back around to be greeted by a pair of yellowish eyes. "Hello again, dear."

"O-Oh! W-Wolf, hi! I didn't... Know you were there, I'm sorry. Don't sneak up like that, though!" Wolf lowered his head in shame, softly whining. "I'm sorry, please forgive me. I didn't mean to startle you." "Oh, Wolf, it's okay," explains Sharp, as she cuddles Wolf. "Hey, I'm heading to Sugarcube Corner, would you like to come with me? If they are startled by your presence, I'll explain to them that you don't mean to hurt them. Or you could, doesn't matter." Turning her head to the entrance, she urges Wolf to make a decision. "Thank you for the offer, you said we were going to... 'Sugarcube Corner,'" Wolf asked, tilting his head quizzically. "Yes, yes! Come with me! It'll be fun...? Maybe, iunno. I'm actually supposed to meet my girlfriend there, she and Pinkie planned a surprise for me they said," Sharp replies, looking excitedly to the front door of the building.

The door opens quickly, yet quietly, as to make sure not to disturb anybody. Sharp and Wolf both walk in, Sharp closing the door behind them, and heading for the stairs. "...The place smells sweet, yet there is a faint smell of..." Wolf's voice trails off as he sniffs the air more, Sharp hurrying to the stairs. "Hey, wait! You don't know what's--" Wolf is cut off by Sharp, "Nonsense, I know exactly what's up here! It's Pinkie and Velvet!" Bolting up the stairs, Sharp finds Pinkie's door and opens it, shocked.
