So It Begins

This is the story of six individuals venturing in the unknown part of the Ever- free forest to find out the existence of the legendary Bigfoot. The following footage is all that remains of their ordeal. WARNING- This film contains of screaming, galloping, eating, giggling, singing, crying, wild creatures, out-housing, and dry rubbing. Viewer's Discretion is advised.

A camera turns on to focus on a yellow-coated Pegasus with a light pink mane and teal colored eyes.

"Wow, Fluttershy," A grinning cyan blue Pegasus with a rainbow colored mane stood behind her holding a camera of her own. "You sure look tiny on film."

Fluttershy places her camera inside a tree so that it would remain half-hidden. "Do you think this looks okay Rainbow Dash?" The Shyer Pegasus asked.

"Sure, it looks fine," Rainbow Dash said. "Thanks for helping me with this for the Young Pony Film Festival. We're gonna win for sure!"

Fluttershy smiled kindly at her childhood friend. "Anything to help out a friend. It's been a while since we did something special together."

Rainbow dash flew over and handed Fluttershy her camera. "Alright now, Fluttershy, I need you to follow me and document every single detail of everything that comes our way. No matter what happens, don't stop filming. Got it?"

Fluttershy nodded in affirmation. "Got it. Ready?" The camera switched on, and Rainbow Dash smiled at the camera confidently.

"Rainbow Dash here, standing less than 20 feet away from where got a glimpse of Bigfoot's leg!" She held up a photo of a hairy leg in the corner which was covered in plastic. "Me and my pal Fluttershy are going to prove its very existence in the Everfree forest when nopony else could. And that's not all." Rainbow Dash flew up and pulled out a large chicken leg out of a nearby tree. "We put tracking devices in chicken legs just like this one, and we placed them around all around our campsite."

"Um, Rainbow?"

"Yeah?"

"Those aren't... real chicken legs, are they?"

Rainbow Dash smiled and rolled her eyes. "Of course not. They're rubber. I just filled it applesauce so that he would eat it". Fluttershy sighed in relief. "Oh...wait, what?" SNAP! Both mares jumped in surprise. There was a sudden rustling sound in the trees. Fluttershy gasped and whirled around, the camera focusing on the moving trees. "W- What was that?!!?" suddenly, they heard voices.

"Sugar Cube, I think we're lost."

"Of course we are, silly! That was the whole point!"

"I wish the map didn't get wet, because how are we 'supposed to know how to get back to where we came from?"

"That's easy! We'll just follow the stars!"

"…It's the middle of the day."

Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash looked at each other in awe. They knew those voices! Together, they trotted to a clearing behind the rustling trees in front of the two familiar ponies. One had a light pink coat and a poofy, bouncy dark pink mane with blue eyes. The other pony had a light orange coat with green eyes, and a cowgirl hat resting on top of her blonde mane.

"Pinkie Pie? Applejack? What are you two doing here?" Rainbow Dash's rose-colored eyes widened in shock, not just because the party pony and the Apple Farmer where here in the forest as well, but at the sight of pinkie's wild mane holding a video camera on its own, which was pointed at both her and Fluttershy. Both Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy wondered in their heads how this came to be, but they knew better than to question it.

Applejack looked surprised too. "Shoot, we could say the same thing! What are Ya'll doing here?" Applejack asked in her sweet southern accent.

"Well, if you must know, we're tracking down Bigfoot for the Young Pony Film Festival contest." Said Rainbow.

Pinkie Pie let out an excited gasp. "You're looking for Bigfoot?! That's so cool! AND, we're participating in the Young Pony Film Festival too!"

Applejack gave a shrug. "I'm helping Pinkie find a new variety of apples that are rumored to be growin' in the unknown part of the Ever free Forest." She narrowed her eyes at the Pegasi. "But Bigfoot? Really? Rainbow Dash I could understand, but Fluttershy? Even if this so-called Bigfoot exists, you wouldn't be nervous at all if Y'all should encounter him?"

Fluttershy beamed behind the camera she was holding. "Oh, no, I've actually always wanted to meet Bigfoot… if he exists that is… and if he does, I bet he's really gentle and sweet once you get to know him… he's just misunderstood, that's all."

"Hey!" Pinkie suddenly exclaimed. "Why don't we tag along with you guys? We haven't had the best of luck with finding apples, but it would be so much fun if we could tag along with you as we go! Don't you think, Applejack?"

AJ shrugged. "I don't see why not. We're already lost. Might as well be lost together."

Rainbow Dash nodded. "Alright then, we'll let you tag along. Our success will be twice as documented!" She said with a big grin. "C'mon!" Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy started to fly in front of them, and Pinkie and Applejack followed.

"This is gonna be so much fun, Applejack," Pinkie squealed, turning her camera towards the cow pony while they walked. "Finding rare apples and finding Bigfoot on the same day!"

The Blonde mare looked at Pinkie with a blank expression. "Pinkie Pie, I'd hate to rain on your parade, but there is no Bigfoot. He just doesn't exist, Sugar cube. It's most likely that Rainbow Dash is pulli'n one over us. She's probably got poor Fluttershy roped into this too."

The Party Pony thought hard. "Well… maybe it does seem like a prank that Dashie would pull… but that doesn't explain why she would risk losing the competition. You know how much she likes to win."

Applejack's eyebrows knitted together as she looked toward the sky. "True. But Rainbow Dash is mischievous. Not stupid." Pinkie Pie suddenly gave Applejack a cavalier grin.

"Well, in that case," she grabbed the farm pony and trained the camera on the two of them. "We should both be on camera for this. This is important!"

They heard Rainbow Dash shout in the distance. "Come on you slow-pokes!"

Pinkie Pie turned back to the camera which was being held be her tail. "What's more interesting than a documentary about finding Bigfoot?"

Applejack raised an eyebrow. "Having a tea party with Tirek?" Pinkie chuckled. "No, you silly goose! A documentary about a prank documentary about Bigfoot…that gets busted!"

Applejack frowned. "Pass."

Pinkie pie wrapped a fore hoof around her fellow earth pony. "Oh, think about it, AJ. You and me… Apple Jacquelyn Smith and Pinkamena Diane Pie… two could-be cousins, prank busters! We could start our own T.V. show and everything!"

Applejack sighed. "Fine. As long as you edit my full name out of the video, I'll do it."

"Come on guys, we're almost there!"
