And now we come to the next chapter, in which the first snowfall had covered the Everfree Forest; and in which Pinkie Pie learns that even bouncing can be overdone. On this day, Spike was waiting for Pinkie to take him out to play.

"I'M BORED, Twilight! Where's Pinkie?!" Spike complained.

Twilight giggles and says; "Be patient, Spike! He'll be-" But just then, Pinkie pops out of nowhere, and slips on the snow, and splatters snow all over Spike.

"Well, here I am! Did I surprise you, Spike?" Pinkie asked him, as he wipes the snow off him.

"No, and you got snow all over my scales! It's going to take another 7 hour bubble bath to get myself clean!" Spike complained. Twilight glares at Spike, because that was not what he was suppose to say. Spike sighs and says in an annoyed tone; "Yes, Pinkie you surprised me. I like surprises."

"Hello Twilight, ma'am!" Pinkie greeted herself.

"Hello, Pinkie Pie dear!" Twilight greeted back, while shoveling the snow off her walkway.

Pinkie giggles and says; "She called me dear! So Spike, you ready for some bouncing?"

"No." Spike said, until Twilight glares at him again. "I mean yes! You and me are good bouncers."

"Just a moment, Spike!" Twilight said, as she placed a scarf on Spike's neck, and Spike just kept bouncing, which was making Twilight have a difficult time putting the scarf on Spike. "Goodness, you're bouncy today!"

"It's what Spikes do their bestest!" Spike said. "OW! Not so tight, Twilight!"

"Is your sweater warm enough?" Twilight asked.

"Yes, 'mother'." Spike said with an annoyed tone.

"Well c'mon, Spike! Let's go!" Pinkie said, as her and Spike started bouncing into the woods.

"Pinkie! Make sure you bring Spike back for his nap, and be careful!" Twilight called out.

"Don't worry, Twilight! I'll take care of the little nipper! Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo!" Pinkie yelled.

"Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo!" Spike mimicked her, and they bounced into the woods to have some fun.

Meanwhile, Angel was ice-skating on the frozen pond, humming to himself, and says; "Ah, what a perfect day! Peace and quiet, and thank goodness, no Pinkie Pie!"

What Angel didn't know, is that he spoke too soon, because Pinkie and Spike hopped near the pond and saw Angel ice-skating. "Hey, look! If it isn't ol long ears?" Pinkie giggled and said.

"Can Pinkies ice-skate, like Mister Angel?" Spike asked.

"Can Pinkies ice-skate? Why that's what Pinkies do the best! Weeeeee!" Pinkie yelled as she hopped onto the pond and started to slide on the slippery ice. "Say, this is a cinch!" Pinkie looked down to her legs, then she started bouncing on the ice, but the bouncing caused Pinkie to start slipping and sliding out of control. "WHOA! Look out, Angel!" she cried.

"Oh no! OH NO! Not her! NOO!" Angel cried, as Pinkie loses her balance and falls on Angel, which causes them both to slide out of the ice, and Pinkie lands inside a pile of snow, while Angel slides into his house, breaking everything inside. "Oh why does it always have to be me? Why, oh why, oh why?" Angel whined.

Spike bounced over to Pinkie to check up on her, and he asked; "Pinkie, Pinkie, are you alright?"

"Yuck! Pinkies don't like ice-skating!" Pinkie complained, as she wipes the snow out off of her. So after a while went by, Pinkie and Spike went farther into the Everfree Forest, looking for something that Pinkies do best.

As the two were bouncing, Spike said; "I bet Pinkies can climb trees, huh Pinkie?"

"Climb trees? Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo! That's what Pinkies do best!" Pinkie said, as Spike hops onto her shoulders. "Only Pinkies don't climb trees, they bounce them! Come on, let's go!" So while Spike was on Pinkie's back, Pinkie starts bouncing from tree branch to tree branch, until she reached the branch hanging on the tippy-top. She bounced so high, she nearly bounced right out of this fanfic! "Some bouncing, huh?" Just then Pinkie looked down, got scared, and held onto the branch real tight. "Say! How did this tree get so high?" Pinkie got really scared of the height she was in, and she held on tight. While she was holding on, Spike was swinging around on Pinkie's tail, having the time of his life. "HEY! HEEEEY! What's happening?!"

"Don't swing on a string, it's much to frail; the best thing to swing, is a Pinkie tail! Weeeee!" Spike yelled.

"S-s-stop it kid, please! S-T-O-P STOP! You're rocking the whole forest!" Pinkie cried.

Spike jumps off her tail and lands on a tree branch and chuckles, he then asks; "What's the matter Pinkie? Scared?"

"Oh thank goodness!" Pinkie sighed in relief. "I felt like I was getting sea-sick! I-I'm s-seeing too much!" We just have to leave Pinkie up in the tree for a little while, because down nearby, Apple Bloom was having a problem of her own.

"What are you doing, Bloom?" Fluttershy asked.

"Shhh! Trackin somethin." Bloom whispered following some hoof-prints on the snow.

"Tracking what?" Fluttershy whispered back.

"Oh that's what ah ask myself, Flutters." Bloom said, as she continued to follow the hoof-prints.

Fluttershy runs in front of Bloom and asks; "And what do you think you'll answer yourself?"

"Well, ah shall have to wait until ah catch up with it." Bloom said.

"Bloom, for a filly of very little brain, you're sure a smart one!" Flutters smiled and said.

"Thank ya, Fluttershy!" Bloom smiled and said back. "Ah ha!"

"Now what?" Flutters asked frightened, as she hid behind Apple Bloom.

"A very mysterious thing, Flutters! A whole new set of tracks! See?" Bloom explained. And so it seemed to be, there was a track joining each other here, getting fixed up with each other there; but to Bloom, quite clearly, four sets of hoof-marks. "Flutters, whatever it was that made these tracks, has now been joined by a whatever it is!" she said.

"Y-y-yes, and a-all of them a-ar-are proceeding i-in company." Flutters stuttered.

"Fluttershy, ah wasn't exactly expectin company." Bloom said.

"N-n-neither was I, Bloom." Flutters said. So the two went on feeling a little anxious now, in case the animals in front of them were of hostile intent.

"Helloooooo!" a voice yelled from the distance. Bloom and Flutters got surprised by the voice, and they started running around in a circle, and hid behind a brick wall that so happened to be there in the middle of the forest. Bloom took a peek, and saw a shadow over at the top of a nearby tree.

"Look, look Flutters! There's somethin in that tree over there!" Bloom pointed out.

"I-is t-that one of th-the f-f-fiercer a-animals?" Flutters asked

"Yes. It's a timberwolf." Bloom said.

"Wh-what do t-timberwolves d-do, Bloom?" Flutters asked frighteningly.

"Well, timberwolves always call 'hellooooo', and when ya look up they drop on you." Bloom explained.

"I-I'm looking d-down, Bloom." Flutters said.

"Helloooooo!" Pinkie called out.

"Hey Pinkie, it's Bloom and Flutters! Apple Bloom! Fluttershy!" Spike called out.

"Why, it's only Pinkie and Spike!" Bloom giggled and said, and walked over to them. "Hello, Spike! What are you and Pinkie doing up there?"

"I'm alright, but Pinkie's stuck!" Spike chuckled and said.

"HELP! SOMEPONY! PLEASE! Get Zecora!" Pinkie cried, still hanging on that top branch. It wasn't too long before word got back to Zecora and the others, that Pinkie was in trouble.

"Hello Fluttershy! Hello Apple Bloom! What is up that you called us so soon?" Zecora asked.

"Pinkie and Spike are up." Bloom said.

"Sweet Celestia! Spike, how did you get up there?!" Twilight asked worriedly.

"Easy, Twilight! We bounced up!" Spike said, swinging on one of the tree branches.

"Oh gracious! Do be careful!" Twilight said.

"I'm alright Twi, but Pinkie's stuck!" Spike said and chuckled.

"Oh, what a shame. That's too bad." Twilight said.

"No, that's good!" Angel corrected her. "You see, he can't bounce anypony from up there!"

"Well, now.... we just have to get them down somehow." Zecora said, removing her jacket.

"Down? DOWN?! Do we have to?" Angel asked.

"Let's go at it, everypony hold a corner of my jacket." Zecora said, as Bloom, Twilight, Zecora, and barely Flutters each held a corner of Zecora's jacket, and held it out like a trampoline. "You first Spike! Jump down from that height!"

Spike started hoping on the tree branch, and Twilight got a bit worried. "Try not to fall too fast, Spike!" she called out.

"Don't tell me, tell gravity!" Spike said, as he jumped down and landed safely on the coat. Twilight picked him up and gave him a hug.

"Oh thank Celestia!" Twilight said, feeling relieved.

"That was fun! Come on, Pinkie! It doesn't hurt! Jump!" Spike called out.

"You're next Pinkie! Jump immediately!" Zecora called out.

"Jump?! Pinkies don't jump! They bounce!" Pinkie said frighteningly.

"Then bounce down." Bloom suggested.

"Don't be ridiculous! Pinkies only bounce up!" Pinkie corrected her.

"You can try.... climbing down from that height." Zecora suggested.

"No, we Pinkies can't climb down, because... because.... umm.... tail! Their tails get in the way!" Pinkie said, making an excuse.

"Horray! If she won't jump down, and she can't climb down, then we just have to leave him up there forever!" Angel said happily.

"Forever?! OH, if I ever get out of here, I promise never to bounce again! Ever!" Pinkie swore.

"I heard that Pinkie! She promised! Did you hear her promise?! I heard heard! I heard heard! You heard her, didn't you?!" Angel asked everypony.

Well, Pinkie, your bouncing really got you into trouble this time. "Say, who are you?" Pinkie asked me the narrator. I'm the narrator. "Oh well, please for Luna's sake, narrate me down from here!" Very well, hold on tight. Readers, tilt your computer screens or laptops a little bit to the right, so she can slide down safely using the words. If you did so, then we can tell her to let go. Look for yourself, Pinkie! You're completely safe! After Pinkie slides down the words, she happily hugs the snow and says; "Oh good ol snow, good ol ground!" she starts kissing the ground. "I'm so happy, I feel like bouncing!"

"AH AH AH! You promised! You promised!" Angel reminded her.

"Oh.... I did didn't I?" Pinkie said sadly. "Y-you telling me, I-I can never bounce again?"

"NEVER!" Angel yelled.

"N-never?" Pinkie asked sadly. "Not even a... teensy... weensy.... bounce?"

"Not even a snitch of a bounce!" Angel said. Just then, Pinkie's mane deflated, and she looks down on the ground and starts walking away sadly; and everypony except Angel felt real bad.

"Oh the poor dear!" Twilight sighed. "It's too bad." Angel turns to Apple Bloom and gives her a wink.

"Zecora? I like the old Pinkie better." Spike said to her

"So do I." Zecora said.

"Me too." Fluttershy said.

"Me too!" Spike said, even though he already said he did before.

"Of course we all do! Don't you agree, Angel?" Twilight asked. Angel who was still smiling, turns to the others and then frowns.

"I-I..." Angel stuttered.

"Well, Angel?" Zecora asked.

"I.... there is a..... what I mean is...." Angel stuttered.

"Well?" Bloom asked.

"Umm... well.... alright. I guess I like the old Pinkie too." Angel said, rolling his eyes.

Just then, Pinkie, whose mane was back to normal, bounces on Angel and asks excitedly; "Does this mean I can have my bounce back?! Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo! C'mon Angel! Let's you and me bounce, huh?!" she asks.

"Good heavens! Me bounce!?" Angel asked.

"Why certainly! Look! You have the feet for it!" Pinkie pointed out.

"I have?" Angel asked.

"Sure! Come on! Try it; and make you feel just grrrrrrreat!" Pinkie said as she starts bouncing, and helping Angel bounce too. Just then, Angel started smile and laugh.

"Well I'll be! This is fun!" Angel said as she continued bouncing next to Pinkie. "Come on everypony! Bounce!"

Just then, the whole gang started bouncing around with them, and Pinkie sang her theme song again; "Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo! The wonderful thing about Pinkies! Is Pinkies are wonderful things! Their tops are made out of rubber! Their bottoms are made out of springs! They're bouncy, trouncy, flouncy, pouncy; fun, fun, fun, fun, FUN! But the most wonderful thing about Pinkies is I'm the only one! I'm the only one!" Pinkie growls.
