At Cheerlie's School, Things Were Normal.

As Cheerlie Was Sorting through The Fillies' Reports And Homework, She Noticed The Black thing.

As The Fillies Trotted Back home, Cheerlie went out to Investigate, Seeing It made Everything Pitch-Black, She Started to Wonder, ThenThought About The Everfree Forest, Then she Realized, Fluttershy lives near there.

As Fluttershy Was Feeding Angel, she Noticed Cheerlie Running Toward Her, as a Basic Instinct, She Hid Behind Her Sofa.

"Oh, Cheerlie, it's Only You." She Said.

"Fluttershy! Did you See anything... Black?" Asked Cheerlie.

"No, Unless You Count My Critters." Fluttershy Said, Coming out of Hiding.

"Well Start Packing, There's... an Evil Presence Coming From The Everfree Forest."

"oh dear, come on angel bunny." She Said as Angel Hopped on her Head.

"Now Let's Go!" Said Cheerlie.

"okay, Here we go."

     ~~~*><*~~~

Cheerlie and Fluttershy Rushed into Ponyville, Well, Only Cheerlie RUSHED

Fluttershy Predictably Went Slow.

As Cheerlie Went Door-to-Door Warning Ponies, Fluttershy Remained...Shy.

Soon Enough, all the Ponies in Ponyville Were Ready to Leave.

"Alright, Everypony, Make Sure You have What you Need, It's A long Trip To Canterlot, and we Can't lose a Second! Every Minute Wasted is Another Mile of Equestria in that... Goop." Said Twilight, and they all Started off to Canterlot...

Flash Forward To then.

"whew, we made it" Said Fluttershy.

"Eeee-yup." Said Bic Mac.

"We Have No time to Lose! To the Princess!"

As The Ponies Flocked through the Canterlot Gates, The Black Sludge continues to Devour The Land, Fluttershy's animals have Fled, To witness Seconds Later that Fluttershy's Once Peaceful Abode Turned into a Dark Structure. The Same Happened With Sweet Apple Acres, and The Schoolhouse. Soon, The Ponies Reached Celestia's Library.

"Wow. So this is Where Twilight once Lived?" Asked Scootaloo.

"Seems Very Charming, More Intracate than Any Room i've Seen." Said Rarity.

"And WAY Bigger than the Treehouse Library In Ponyville!" Said Rainbow Dash.

Applejack Sighed. "Yea, PonyVill'" Said Applejack, Watching The Darkness Devour The Rest of Sugarcube Corner.

As The ponies Kept Chatting about Twilight's Old Library And The Disaster at Hand, They Didn't Notice The Princess Trot in.

"Hello Ponies!" She Said, "We are Here To Announce that We May have a Solution to this!"

As The Ponies Gasped In Shock, They Cheered at the Same time, Fluttershy, Obviously Hid Herself.

"It may Be Hard, But We will Create a Magical Barrier around Canterlot, Heres What we Do,

EARTH PONIES: Collect Food From the Trees and Gardens, We don't know how long we Will be here.

UNICORNS: Combine Your Magic To Create this Barrier.

PEGUSI: Should The Shield Fail, Be Prepared to Grab Any Unicorns Or Earth Ponies, Then Carry them to A Place where The Darkness Has not been.

Am I Clear on this?"

"YEAAAH!" Shouted the Ponies.

"i don't know..." Squeaked Fluttershy.

Everyone Got to Work, as Celestia And Luna Watched The Threat Growing Closer.

"Do you Think It was Discord?" Asked Luna.

"Maybe, but we Need to Check."

As the Ponies Worked To Serve Their Cause, The Princesses Went to the Discord Statue, ony to Find that It was unharmed, The Seal In Perfect Condition.

"Then Who? How? WHY?" Asked Luna.

All Questions too Hard To Awnser, As the Slop Devoured Ponyville.
