“Oh this is SO exciting! My first camping trip in the human world! Or really my first camping trip ever since I never really went camping in Equestria either but now I’m really really excited about finally going to camp and meet all the cutsie wootsie animals in the woods and all of the beauty Oh I know I said it but I’m really really Excited!” Pinkie droned on as she skipped next to Spike, AJ, and Twilight as they made their way to a camp site just outside the city.

“Heh, and here I thought Jackie would be the excited one, this was her idea after all,” Spike said amused by his pink haired house mate.

“Don’t worry lover boy Ah am excited, when yah said there was a camping site around here it left me ichin to get into the dirt and just roll around like a hog on a hot day,” The pony girl farmer enthusiastically said.

“I’m glad Jackie, after all I wouldn’t be a good host if I didn’t show all my girls a good time,” he said with a nudge and a wink. This was enough to make the farm girl turn her head away for a second to hide the shade of pink that had developed on her face. “This is for all of us after all, I’m sure we’ll all have a great time right Twi?....Twi?”

“Subject seems to be able to speak for long periods of time without need to inhale, conclusion is still unsure,” The lavender pony girl in question spoke into a small handheld tape recorder. “I’m sorry did you say something Bae?” She asked turning her attention to him.

“Never mind, you can go on.” He replied.

Moments later the group found themselves approaching an open large wooden fence with a dirt road that lead into the woods.

“Oh Oh Oh! We’re here!” Pinkie beamed as they made their final approach.

“That we are pinks, alright girls just let me go talk to the ranger so we can get a map of the--”

“LOOK OUT!” Came from AJ as she pulled Spike out of the way of a speeding truck, she unknowingly also pulled him into the valley between her bouncy bust. “Wow, what in the samhill was he running from?”

“Mpph!”Came a muffled sound.

“Huh?...Oh sorry sugar cube!” AJ said releasing him from the confines of her chest, a thin pink line evident on her face.

“Wowwie Zowwie he was driving like an insaniac!” Pinkie commented as she and Twilight went over to check on their beloved house man.

“Are you okay?” Twilight asked holding his face.

“Y-yeah…I’m fine, not the closest I’ve come to dying this week,” The young man chuckled.

“Hey are you folks alright!” Said a park ranger dressed in green pants black boots and a green button up shirt.

“Yeah we’re fine, a little shaken up but don’t worry, you should probably find out what happened to the guy driving,” Spike replied walking up to him.

“Oh I think I have an idea, the same thing that’s been driving a lot of folks out lately,” The ranger replied rubbing the back of his neck.

“Yah do? Well what in tarnation has folk’s running like that?” Applejack asked

“Well, there have been reports of someone or something running around in the woods scaring off people, but what’s strange is everyone that was questioned turned out to be hunter ,” He explained.

“Hunters, I thought hunting was illegal here,” Spike said.

“It is some say that’s why it’s happening. They’ve been calling it the sanctuary woods witch, it supposed to be a spirit that’s protecting the local wild life.”

“Uh Spike, is it really safe to be here with such an entity making itself known?” Twilight asked grasping his shirt.

“I don’t know, is it ranger?” He asked the park ranger.

“Well as far as I know it’s only been spotted in the deep woods, none of the campsites have reported anything strange,” He replied.

“There yah go, ain’t nothing to worry yerself for,”Applejack said reassuringly.

“Wait, maybe we should postpone this outing until we know it’s really safe” Twilight said in objection.

“Oh oh oh ! Maybe she’s just hungry! She could be willing to try out my new tofu flavored recipe!” Pinkie said in her usual excited tone.

“Well, if Pinkie and Jackie don’t mind it…I guess we’ll be okay,” Spike said making his decision.

“What, Spike are you sure?” Twilight asked shaking a bit.

“Come on Twi you’re not just gonna let some urban legend stop you from spending time with us will you?”Spike asked putting an arm around her.

Twilight blushed a bit as he wrapped his arm around her shoulders; she nodded her head giving her okay to let the trip continue.

“Yeah, besides if this is anything like those silly billy horror movies I was watching we just have to avoid drugs, walking alone into the woods and making out,” Pinkie chirped before looking at Spike. “Well, maybe we could do one of those things~,” Pinkie said giving Spike a wink and a kissy face.

Spike blushed a bit but shook it off before proceeding to ask the ranger for a map and directions which he promptly did. It had been about half an hour’s hike to the campsite; upon arriving they saw the camp ground was considerably large. From what they observed there was a considerable amount of tents of many kinds, some people even brought RV’s and set up TV’s complete with game consoles, the sound of crunching chips bags filled the air around them as well.

“Hey Jackie, is it me or are those people not doing camping right?” Pinkie asked.

“No, Ah don’t think they are…and only lover boy can call me Jackie,” Applejack said in a monotone voice.

“Bea…I am pretty well read in many fields, and while I acknowledge that I shouldn’t believe everything I read, albeit painfully, I don’t think they are following the guidelines to proper camping,” Twilight remarked.

“Yeah, people just don’t seem to find joy roughing it these days, it’s a damn shame,” Spike said shaking his head.

“GASP, Cupcake you said a naughty word! Come here so I can give you spanking,” Pinkie said pulling a stool seemingly out of nowhere and sat on it with her knee sticking out.

“No pinkie, this time Ah gotta go with lover boy on this one, this ain’t right! This is a gosh darned tragedy!”Applejack proclaimed.

“You still didn’t use a naughty waughty bad word.”

“Well we can’t go over there and make them change that would be rude,” Twilight said.

“Well that don’t mean diddly for us! We ain’t about to move with the herd none, we are gonna do this the right way, the apple way!” Applejack declared.

“That’s what I like to hear!” Spike said. “Now let’s all start setting up girls.”

With that the four of them set up Twi tents, one large one to hold all three of the girls and a smaller one for Spike. They had wanted Spike to stay in their tent but Spike wanting to avoid any awkward turns chose to get his own. A few hours had passed and the moon was beginning to rise, the four of them were around a campfire making roasted wieners.

“Hoooweee the smell of these here wieners is making me so hungry mah stomach is gnawing on mah backbone,” AJ said enjoying the scent of the nearly cooked sausages.

“Oh I think mine is ready,” Twilight said pulling the sausage away from the fire toward her mouth blowing on it a bit.

“Twilight are you sure that you didn’t-”

*Crunch* “Blah!!”

“..burn it…” Spike finished watching Twilight spit out the over cooked meat pole.

The other three enjoyed a quick laugh at watching her clean her tongue of the over bitter meat.

“Ah well that’s why I do the cooking at home huh girl?” Spike asked rhetorically. He turned his head to see how Pinkie was enjoying her wiener on a stick; he however froze at seeing just how much she was enjoying it. A noticeable blush formed on his face, Pinkie was enjoying it too much, and she was practically bathing it in her saliva as she maneuvered her tongue over every inch of it from tip to base, all while staring him right in the eye.

“Ugh that was just unpleasant, Bae could we just move one?” Twilight asked getting the last of the bitter taste out of her mouth.

“…huh?! Oh yeah sure let’s do something else. What did you girls have in mind?”

“Well when Ah was a filly going camping with mah older brother Big Macintosh right about now is when we would start telling scary stories,” Applejack suggested.

“Oh That’s a great idea! I got one, the story of the birthday party with noooo cake oooooOoooOOo,” Pinkie said waving her arms.

“That doesn’t sound very scary, you know what is? The story of the book that was a hundred years overdue,” Twilight brought up trying to sound spooky herself.

Applejack and Spike simply gave them unimpressed looks before looking at each other.

“Hogwash Y’all, Ah’ve heard lullabies scarier than that.”

“Yeah girls, I don’t think you’ll freak anyone out with those bed time stories,” Spike chuckled.

“Well do you got a scary story lover boy?”

“Me? Don’t you have one? You have done this before.”

“Well Ah got some but none that are very scary.”

“Hmmm…okay I guess I got one or two that are kind of short, but we should head to bed afterwards okay girls?”

The three women each nodded in agreement and each sat up to hear what stories their man had to offer.

“Alright then…”Spike began telling the story.

One creepy as hell story later.

“…and that was the last anyone ever saw of him,” Spike finished. The girls were all a bit shaken up from they had just heard

“Uh...Ah think it’s about time we hit they hay y’all.”

“Yeah, I think it’s in the guide to proper camping that we turn in right about now.”

“Yeah Cupcake waddaya say?”

“…..” When they got no response their heads snapped back to where he was seated.

He was gone.

The trio looked around frantically but he was nowhere to be seen. They called out his name to no avail, beginning to get worried they got up to go check to see if he had slipped into their tents. They looked inside to see a lump in his tent. The three of them sighed in relief.

“Bea you scared us.”

“Yeah lover boy don’t scare us like that yah here?”

“….”

“Cupcake?” Pinkie asked as the three of them got into the cramped space to move the sheet, when they moved it was revealed that it was only pillow.

“But if this is just a pillow then where in tar nation is…”

“Abogabogabogaboga!” came a yell from outside, three Equestrians screamed in shock and tumbled inside of the tent causing it to fall apart. “oops, I think I may have go a bit overboard heheheh,” The green haired young man chuckled. “Sorry girls…didn’t think you’d get that scared.”

The Trio struggled to get out of the tangled remains of the tent and each other, from outside Spike could hear them saying “Get off me!”, and “Your fat butts in my way!” When they got out and on their feet they stared daggers in Spikes direction earning a nervous sweat from the young man.

“Bae!”

“I’m sorry I’m sorry it was just a little scared for fun,” He defended.

“That ain’t gonna cut it lover boy, you need to be taught a lesson,” Applejack said walking up to him and pulling him close by his shirt collar and smiling.

“W-what are you gonna do?” He asked as he looked into the earth pony’s eyes.

“Death by snu-snu!” Pinkie yelled out.

“Now girls let’s just calm down, there’s no need for that. He was just trying to have a little fun and that’s what this is about right? Besides we already destroyed his tent, so he doesn’t have anywhere to sleep tonight,” Twilights eyes widened as she came up with something. “Hey Spike, since we destroyed your tent you won’t have anywhere to sleep, so why don’t you sleep in ours?”

“What? W-wouldn’t it just get really cramped.

“Actually ah wouldn’t mind if yah did, this could be how yah make it up to us,” Applejack said a thin blush forming on her face.

“Oh that’s a fantabulus idea,” Pinkie chirped. With that Spike was brought to their tent and thrown in without a second thought, followed by his house guests all taking a place next to him. The tent had only been built for three people to sleep in comfortably; Applejack took the left side snuggling into his arm while Twilight took the right doing the same, Pinkie being the smallest of the three took the liberty of lying on his chest and wrapping her arms around him.

“Night bae.”

“See yah in the morning lover boy.”

“Nighty Night, don’t let the bed bugs bite cupcake, if anyone’s gonna bite you it’s gonna be me~”

“Uh..night,” Spike said as what Pinkie said reached his ears. He managed to calm the fire in his pants (which he hoped Pinkie hadn’t noticed) before going to sleep like the others.

A few hours had passed since the big happy household had fallen asleep in the tent and now slept peacefully. That is until Spike was awoken by natures call.

“I have to pee,” He said opening his eyes gorgy though they were. After maneuvering his way through the entanglements of legs and cleavage he got out and walked to the nearest bush to let the waters flow. After he was done he zipped up and turned to head back to the tent, but something caught his attention just before he took the first step.

*Squeek squeek Squeek* came a whimper from the woods.

“Huh?” Spike said as he turned to the thick brush of the woods and stared, he didn’t see anything but the faint sound of an animal in pain was audible. Spike couldn’t help but feel a tug at his heart when its pained squeals reached his ears, he didn’t like to see or hear innocent creatures suffer so against his better judgment he walked in the hopes of locating it. After a few minutes of searching and pushing through he found the source of the noise, a fawn was caught in a bear trap.

“Shhhh, it’s okay I got you,” Spike said soothingly as he approached its trapped leg. When the creature didn’t react negatively to his presence he took it as a sign to examine the trap, he observed a release button on its side. Unknown to him he was being watched from above by something that seemed rather….pleased with his actions.

Spike pushed the button and the creature was set free, it leaped out of its spot and limped away happy to be set free. Spike dusted his hands and got ready to walk away before suddenly being stopped by the sound of moment just behind him.

“Hold it right there freak!” A raspy deep voice yelled.

“Huh?” Spike said as he turned to see three armed men, each of them with double barrel shot guns, hunting gear and very displeased looks.

“Wait…you ain’t the witch!” One of them called.

“I’m not the what? Who are you guys?” Spike asked confused as they shone a light into his face.

“Shut up!” One of the thugs said knocking Spike to the ground; he looked down at Spike sitting on his butt. “Your ruined my plan! I was gonna get some payback and hang that bitches head on my wall!” The head hunter yelled in rage at the young man for ruining his trap.

“Maybe we should take him instead, since this witch hasn’t shown herself,” One of the hunters joked.

“Dammit take this seriously you two!”

“”How can we? So far neither of us has seen any proof this thing exists,” One hunter pointed out.

“Did you not see what happened to the last guy I brought out here to hunt? He’s a mess!” The established head of the group argued.

“He’s always been a pussy, that aint proof,” The other hunter argued.

Spike meanwhile was listening to the conversation a bit confused, he heard them say something about a witch? They must be talking about the one the ranger warned him about, but if that’s the case then they must be hunters. “Wait, hunting is illegal in these woods, so they’re not just hunters their law breakers, armed lawbreakers,” Spike realized as they three suddenly shifted the conversation back to him.

“Well in any case we can’t just let him go he’s seen us, and if the rangers hear about this we’re all headed to the slammer,” One of the hunters pointed out.

“You’re right,” The lead hunter relented.

“What do we do?”

“Let’s just stuff him in the truck, when we’re done here we just beat some sense into him,” The third hunter suggested.

Spike got a chill up his spine, though it wasn’t because of what the hunter had suggested. While the three were deciding what they were going to do to him, Spike spotted something looking down at him and the three hunters, more so him however.

“Hey what are you looking at chump?” One of the hunters asked

“Uh….her!” Spike pointed upwards directing the attention of the all three hunters to the descending figure of the very same creature that drove them out.

“It’s her; I told you she was real! Quick shoot her before-” The hunter couldn’t finish his sentence before the bat winged witch grabbed onto Spike and took off into the forest night. The two hunters stood silent as they watched the cloak figure fly away with the curiously green haired young man.

“No way…”

“That’s impossible.”

“I told you she was real! She’s been giving us hunters a really hard time, she thought she could keep me out of here after one scare but there’s no way I’m gonna lose to witch with a bestiality,” The head hunter declared as he directed his partners back to their trucks where they would get what they needed to hunt the witch.

Speaking of the witch, she had taken our green haired protagonist to a cave in and isolated part of the woods. As she landed with the panicking young man, she gently put him down only to receive a terrified shriek before he jumped back to gaze at the clocked figure.

“L-listen, if you’re going to eat me you s-should know I’m n-not very nutritious,” Spike said as he took a few steps back.

“No please, don’t be afraid I only meant to help you,” came from the figure in a surprisingly soothing and mother voice.

“Huh?” Spike said as he stopped his retreat and closely watched the figure begin to remove what were apparently plastic bat wings, in reality they were actually a pair of butter colored angelic ones, not like Twilights but still much gentler looking. She removed the cloak from around herself and instead of a horrid and gut wrenching frame; Spike found himself staring at a voluptuous figure, one with breasts as bountiful as Applejacks but not really as tall. Really as Spike approached he couldn’t help but notice that she was likely only an inch shorter than himself, as he got closer he noticed a few other things. Her eyes that were at first a brilliant amaranth color were now a moderate cyan that almost glowed, under the cloak she wore a couple of large leaves that served as a figure hugging gown. It also revealed that she had a pair of butter colored pony ears and light pink hair with tail to match, Spike was almost certain he was talking to an angel.

“Are, you okay? I hope I didn’t hurt you,” She said getting a little nervous as the young man drew closer.

Spike shook his head before responding. “Uh…yeah thank you so much you have no idea how much I owe for-” Spike stopped his talking as the pony girl jumped just before he could shake her hand. “….I’m sorry, did I do something…?”

“No!..no its okay I’m just a little nervous.”

“Well Sorry of I startled you, I’m Spike by the way.” He said as he gave her a warm smile eliciting her to blush a bit.

“Hi Spike, I’m Fluttershy.”
