This story is a prequel to Forever Wolfpony.

On a brightly lit night, Apple Bloom, along with her friends, Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle, delve into the depths of the Everfree Forest. Why? Because Apple Bloom needs a specific herb that grows only at night in the dangerous area for a potion, and she figured that the two best ponies to go with her would be none other than her best friends in all of Equestria. Despite their arguments, they joined her anyway.

However, the night they journey into the woods was the night of the full moon; a time when only the most dangerous creatures of the Everfree are roaming and prowling about. They soon encounter one of these creatures, but get into more than they bargain for.
