“Really, were are we?”, nervously said Hugo, with a voice that didn’t sound too manly.

“Are we dead?”, said Samuel with a blank look on his face.

“Gabriel, did you somehow drugged us? I know you do drugs, and if this is some kind of joke, it’s not fucking funny.”, said Sebastián with a bit of anger in his voice.

“Fuck no! I didn’t do shit! Also, I didn’t bring the drugs, because we were going to fight, remember?”, angrily said Gabriel.

“This does not look like any forest near Madrid.”, said Felipe.

That was indeed correct. The forest itself didn’t seem like something special. It was a common, boring and a bit bland looking forest. The pine trees were not that tall, and some of the boys his their heads with the branches of the trees. It was peaceful though. Squirrels were jumping from branch to branch, a couple of birds were flying and chirping happily, a family of bunnies were entering their burrow, a little bear was looking directly at them while being completely frozen, a deer was eating grass or doing whatever deer’s do, the group was completely silent, a fish jumped in the little river five feet from the group, the bear and our group were now looking at each other, they stayed looking at each other for thirty seconds...

“BEAR!”, shouted Julio in fear.

Everyone was getting scared, even the bear. Julio, Hugo and Sebastián ripped out or picked up from the ground a couple of branches, and the bear was frantically looking around and making distressed sounds, which only scared our group more and they hurried to pick branches.

Alfredo picked up a rock and threw it to the face of the bear. The bear made a whiny sound when it hit directly to it’s snout, and Hugo and Julio started shouting at it, and started swinging the branches that they just picked up at it. The bear was confused and scared because the beings that it had never saw before started shouting at him and throwing rocks to his face. He could get badly hurt. He had to get out. And, with that thought at the front of his mind, he turned around and started running faster that he ever did his entire life.

Our group was left panting and on the ground, and they stayed there for a good five minutes thanks to all the shouting and swinging and throwing.

“The are no bears in Spain..”, said Julio after a bit between breaths.

“Yeah, no shit.”, tried to say Gabriel in a bit of a funny tone, but was too shocked to come off that way.

“Are you okay Felipe?”, said Hugo. “You don’t look too hot.”

Felipe did not answer. He couldn’t, because he was hiperventilating, and was looking for something in his pocket.

“Oh shit, right, you are asthmatic!”, realized Hugo. “Guys, get over here!”

Felipe was a tall teenager. Like, really tall. 1,93 meters to be exact. But he wasn’t the athletic type. He always had asthma, and was a bit weak in contrast to what his height might suggest. He had a very black, and a bit long hair that slightly covered his eyes. He had a slightly pale skin, and he also wore glasses since he couldn’t see up close. It was normal that he was the one that hit it’s head the most with the branches of the oddly short pine trees.

He finally grabbed something in his pocket. It was his asthma inhaler. He hurriedly put it in his mouth and pressed the little button, and suddenly he looked a lot more relieved.

“Are you ok?”, said Samuel, with the group around Felipe having worried looks.

He coughed a few times while Julio slightly hit his back a few times. “Yeah”, another cough, “Yeah I’m fine.”

“You should not have exercised yourself dude!”, said Gabriel.

“Sorry, I wasn’t exactly thinking about my asthma when there was a BEAR right in front of US!”, exclaimed Felipe.

The group got silent. It continued for a bit. Then a chuckle was heard. Another chuckle appeared. Then a laugh. Then they all started laughing their asses off. Some of the boys had tears in their eyes. Others got to their knees and started hitting the ground with their arms. Even some of them started a full blown belly laugh.

“Did you saw the look of that bear? What a tiny, scared little shit that was!”, Hugo said between laughs.

“I just threw a fucking rock in his face, and it made a nasty gnash!”, Alfredo said, inmediatly laughing uncontrollably after saying that.

“And you should have looked at your face Felipe! You were all like AgHhGg, I’m dying!”, said Hugo while making choking gestures, sounds and facial expressions.

“Hey fuck you man!”, said Felipe with an angry tone, but the grin he had on his face suggested otherwise.

The laughs and chuckles finally started to die down, and they were replaced with a content sigh or a little snicker.

“Let’s get serious now. We have no idea we’re we are, we spooked a motherfucking bear, and we’re in a forest with tiny pine trees. One and possibly two out of those three is not in Spain. So, any ideas were we might be?”, resumed Sebastián.

“Maybe in America? All kinds of weird shit go on over there.”, suggested Samuel.

Maybe it’s Africa? Nah, we would be hearing little kids dying of hunger.” Said Julio. At this, the group chuckled a little bit.

“For all we know, it could be some weird ass place in Russia where it doesn’t snow. I mean there was a bear after all.”, said Hugo.

“Nah dude, a bear from Russia would fuck our shit up. I mean, you saw the size of that bear earlier? He wasn’t taller than Felipe!”, confirmed Gabriel.

“Maybe it was a beta male bear or something?”, asked Alfredo with a hint of a smile in his face.

“Maybe. Now, we should look for civilization and stuff. So, how do we find it? Any ideas?”, asked Felipe.

“Hmmmm. Oh! I have one! The river! Every river goes to civilization, cities and towns!”, announced Hugo.

“Hugo, you are so fucking smart.”, said Sebastián, and he hugged Hugo.

“Yeah, I’m pretty fucking smart. I’m so smart that not even a super AI after all eternity could even comprehend how fucking smart I am!”, proudly said Hugo, and he said it pretty convincingly as well.

“Big brain! Big brain! Big brain! Big brain!”, the group started chanting and laughing, while following the path that the river flowed through.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________

Yellow Drive was having a really good day. Today he had a leisure day thanks to his boss being kind enough. Well, he may have insisted or hinted at having a free day, but it probably was thanks the her kindness. Yellow Drive was a earth sturdily built earth pony, with an pleasantly orange mane and a light yellow coat, with dark blue eyes and a cutie mark of a smiling little yellow sun. He was out for a jog near the woods. NOT through the woods, near the woods. Only a madpony would venture through the Everfree forest, unless they were the elements of harmony. One would think, then, who would be dumb enough to jog near that forest? It may appear that Yellow Drive was said individual, but he had a reason.

He was lazy. But not only was he lazy, there also hadn’t been an attack from the Everfree forest in a long time, and the part of the forest where he was specifically jogging through had never HAD an attack from the forest in all of its thousands of years. Another reason was that the place he usually goes to jog has a bunch of other ponies, so he wanted to be by himself for a little.

That morning as well his wife had given him a little treat in the bed, so he felt specially refreshed that morning. She also prepared him hay toasts with butter and a cup of coffe, which was his favorite breakfast. All in all, it was a great day thus far.

¡Cerebro grande! ¡Cerebro grande! ¡Cerebro grande!

Yellow Drive stopped in his tracks. What was that sound?

¡Cerebro grande! ¡Cerebro grande! ¡Cerebro grande!

Ceramic great? Crazy god? Charger grandiose?

¡Cerebro grande! ¡Cerebro grande! ¡Cerebro grande!

“Hello? Is somepony there?”, asked Yellow Drive, still not understanding what was being said.

He went to the bridge that arched over the little river that flowed gently. He was a bit worried, since it came from the Everfree forest, but there have never been any sightings of Timberwolves or Manticores in that area. But maybe somepony was in danger, so he had to check. The forest was very different from the normal forests in Equestria, and very creepy, though he would never word it in such a way to make him sound less manly.

“Hello? Are you lost?”

¡Chavales! ¡Hay alguien ahí! ¡Estamos salvados!

Yellow Drive suddenly heard loud cheers from the forest. He sighed. It was just a group of young ponies who got into the forest for whatever reason. He had to check if they were okay. Though, the cheers sounded a bit weird.

“I am coming, don’t worry!”, said Yellow Drive.

¡Muchas gracias señor!

Señor? Oh! Yellow Drive understood now. They weren’t speaking Ponish! He felt a bit dumb. They were, obviously, speaking Sponish!

“Ummm, lo sento, yo no hablar Sponish.”, said Yellow Drive with his limited Sponish capabilities. He really hoped he did not sound racist.

Uhhh hello? Yeah we can speak english. Sorry if you didn’t understood us! We have been looking for somebody for... not that long actually. But we are hungry!

This was great! They could speak Ponish, though they messed up some words. Usually species that were from Sponish speaking countries did not speak Ponish well at all.

“Tell me where to go, and I’ll guide you to Ponyville!”, said Yellow Drive.

You better not try something suspicious!

Yellow Drive huffed. Rude? Maybe they were griffins, since they sounded a bit roudy. They were getting closer now, but the sound their steps did was really odd. It wasn’t the usual pattern one could hear with a quadruped. Maybe minotaurs, however rare they were?

They were getting closer now.

“So, how did you boys get here?”, Yellow Drive said, while he was walking through bushes.

”We don’t know. There was a lot of rain and suddenly poof! We were here.”

“Well, that sounds really unfortunate for you. I will take you to the royal guards and then you can go straight to home, eh dude?”, Yellow Drive said, trying to say the things young people said nowadays.

”...Cool.”

There was an awkward silence, but that silence was enough to hurt his soul.

“Where are you again?”, Yellow Drive said after that failure.

”Over here!”

They were really close now. A couple of squirrels were running from the place he was just going to. That was odd. Squirrels never run from ponies, and even griffins. They only ever ran from predators or dragons.

“Alright, I’m right in front of you guys! There are just a few branches in the way.” Yellow Drive then started ripping away little branches without using magic. Ponies really weren’t much without magic, and he wanted to use the least amount posible.

”Let me help!”.

Yellow Drive could hear bigger branches being pulled off than his. Whoever those fellows were, they were pretty strong, or one of them was a stronger earth pony than himself.

”So, what’s your name?

“My name? My name is Yellow Drive. And yours?”

”Yellow Drive? Is this a joke? Anyways, my name is...Hugo...

Right in front of Yellow Drive was the most unexpected and scariest thing he ever saw his whole life. First, that thing was really tall. To put it in perspective, he was a tall male pony, and if he were to stand with both legs, he would barely reach shoulder height. It had a very dark hair, and was standing on two legs. The legs themselves were really long, and really thick. It had very robust arms and a hand big enough that he could choke his neck with it, with the veins being eerily visible. It had a furless skin, which was in a tan coloration that looked that it could hide in the shadows of the night. It had five fingers, which was nerve wracking. It had a nose that was the only thing that a more feminine pony than Yellow Drive might fall “cute”. It had unnerving eyes, which looked like a combination of a dragon and a pony, or a minotaur with a griffin. And those eyes were looking right at his soul.

They stayed looking at each other for a good while. There were more of these things behind the one right in front of him, some of them taller, some of them shorter. But he was looking at the one that he encountered first. It had a blank expression, but it quickly morphed into a combination of fear and anger.

“What the FUCK?”, exclaimed the being in front of him, quickly revealing Yellow Drive that it had sharp teeth, an by correlation, a carnivore.

Yellow Drive shouted and he turned around, but instead of running away, he quickly canalized all of his magic into a mighty, magically boosted buck that could break rock. The being in front of him would probably die, but right now he was thinking of escaping that forest and wanting to see the face of his wife. When Yellow Drive was at the climax of the magical charge and the buck itself, he let go.

He landed it right at the center of the creatures stomach, which was caught completely off guard. He was expecting to see a crimson rain. He did not expect to see said creature still standing only clutching its stomach, and his back legs feeling wobbly.

“Fucker!”, the beast said angrily while still clutching its stomach. The other creatures were moving and saying something, but Yellow Drive did not heard it nor understood it. He was in complete shock. That creature survived the kick without obvious damage! He stood still processing what just happened for a second. But that was more than enough time for the creature to make its move.

Yellow Drive caught a wild haymaker to the side of his face, which send him rolling and stumbling through the ground to the impact harshly on to a tree. This may have broken something, but he was dazed and scared, so he shakily got up, saw that the creature he hit was back at full height and somehow looking at him with those soulless eyes in a seething rage, which made a step towards him. Seeing that the creature was going for him now, Yellow Drive mind entered a full blown panic attack. He turned to the opposite direction and started running for his dear life. The creature also started sprinting towards him, making thunderous steps and breaking any branches in his way. Yet it soon gave up the chase, hearing the members of his group calling him. For this Yellow Drive was thankful.

Yellow Drive made it out of that accursed forest, and he started panting on the ground. “Buck...”, he said, but, before he could do anything else, he started coughing up blood. He had to make it to the hospital quickly, and he had to inform princess Twilight Sparkle about these dangerous creatures as soon as posible.

He started to regret to have picked up specifically that day to have leisure. It was such a good day too!
