"The E-everfree F-forest?!" Fluttershy whimpered, eyes widening in terror.

"Yes, If the information in this book is correct, which at this point I have very little doubt about its credibility, then the Elements were last seen in that forest," Twilight explained, rereading the passage in her head just to be sure.

'Hopefully this castle won't take long to find. If I'm remembering the map of the town right, the 'Everfree Forest' should actually be on the edge of town. I just hope Nightmare Moon hasn't already found them first. I should probably keep this book with me though, it could come in handy later.'

"Alright, come on Spike, let's go." She called to him, heading for the door.

"Now hold on you two!" Applejack interjected, stepping between Twilight exit. "Are
ya'll actually plannin to go wanderin through that cursed forest all by yourselves?"

"Yea!" Rainbow added from across the room. "That place is like, super dangerous! Everything just... does it's own thing over there. Even us pegasus ponies can't control the weather over it!"

"I'm afraid Rainbow Dash is correct." Rarity agreed. "That dreadful place holds a number of ghastly beasts within it as well," She said, looking disgusted just from the thought.

"D-dangerous beasts?" Spike asked fearfully, suddenly looking a lot less confident about their chances.

"Oh! Oh! I know this one!" Pinkie pipped up, hopping up and down with her hand raised as if waiting to be called on. "There are manticores, cockatrices, timberwolves, big bears with big teeth, and even a really grumpy hydra!" Pinkie Pie listed off, her happy attitude slightly disturbing given what she was describing. But despite their warnings, Twilight wouldn't be deterred.

"Well, whatever the case, we have no choice but to go in there anyway. This might be the only way to stop Nightmare Moon and find out what she's done with the princess!"

"Now hold on just a cotton-pickin minute." Applejack said as Twilight tried to walk past her. "I can't in good conscious let ya'll go into that there forest alone. I think I speak for everypony here when I say we won't just sit idly by while one of our new friends goes wanderin into a dangerous situation."

The others nodded in approval, with even Fluttershy attempting to put on a brave face. Rainbow gave Spike one last look of distrust before eventually flying over to join the others in agreement. Twilight sighed.

'I guess it wouldn't really hurt to have them along If what they say about the forest is true. We might need all the help we can get.'

"Fine, now come on, we have to hurry!" Twilight stressed.

"Alright, here we are." Applejack announced, the group of six mares and one dragon now standing at the foreboding edge of a dark and wild forest. A severely undermaintained path leads straight into the treeline, pushing through a small gap in the dense flora that stretched out for miles in either direction.

Spike squinted as he tried to peer down the path. It was crowded with various foliage, vines, and roots and clearly hadn't been traversed in a very long time. The trees were densely packed together, leaving branches mangled together like some kind of twisted bark spaghetti. The thick canopy overhead prevented most of the moonlight from getting in, making it even darker. The full moon had remained high in the night sky above and showed no signs of going down any time soon.

"I'll cast a light spell before we head in," Twilight said, looking a lot less eager now that she was really seeing the Everfree in person. The forest was a truly intimidating sight to behold.

Hearing a quiet whimper to his right, Spike turned to see Fluttershy staring off into the woods, her wings trembling behind her back. It seemed odd that she'd be so afraid of it despite apparently living almost right next to it. Suddenly, Spike had an idea.

"Hey, Fluttershy?" He asked, accidentally startling the mare.

"O-oh um, yes Spike?"

"You live by the forest, right? Is there maybe another safer way we could go?" He inquired, hopeful that they might avoid the ominous road ahead of them.

"N-no, sorry. I don't really go inside the Everfree forest very much. I try to encourage all my animal friends to keep as far away from it as possible. Most of them wouldn't even survive more than a day in there..." She explained, shivering a the thought.

'Well, so much for that idea.' Spike sighed, scratching his head.

With a quick flick of her horn, Twilight summoned a large ball of white light that appeared on the tip of her horn. It was pretty bright, easily lighting up their surroundings and even causing those closest to her to have to shield their eyes as they adjusted to the abrupt change in ambient light.

"Oh my! That is certainly something," Rarity exclaimed in surprise, shielding her eyes. "Darling, you must be well-practiced with magic to produce something like that. I can barely create a lantern's worth of light on a good day."

Twilight blushed a little at the praise before dimming the light a little for them all.

"Alright, come on everypony. Let's get moving and try to keep quiet." Applejack cautioned. "We don't want to attract any more attention to ourselves than necessary."

"Yippe! Let's go!" Pinkie Pie cheered, bouncing past Applejack as she bounded up the path giggling gleefully as she dove through the treeline seemingly without a care in the world.

"That girl just ain't right." Spike heard Applejack mutter under her breath.

"So much for not attracting any attention." Rainbow grimaced.

'Hey, maybe since I'm a dragon that will help deter anything from attacking us!' Spike thought, trying to remain hopeful. 'Then again, I'm not sure how good I could really even be in a fight. Though I guess I have read a lot of superhero comics...'

As the group hurried to try and keep up with Pinkie Pie, a sudden cold shiver ran up the length of Spike's spine that caused him to stop. He glanced over his shoulder but saw nopony around.

'I could have sworn I felt somepony... watching me...'

Not wanting to get left behind, he shrugged and ran to catch up with the others. Doing so, he failed to notice a blur of movement as a cloud of dark blue mist followed from above, blending in with the starry night sky...

Spike swatted away yet another mangled branch as he pushed through the wild forest at the very back of the pack, having been 'assigned' there as to make sure nothing could sneak up on them. Thankfully, they had yet to encounter anything particularly dangerous, though the forest never stopped giving him a serious case of the creeps. As they explored, Twilight's light spell would occasionally illuminate the twisted bark of a tree or bush at just the right angle, making them appear as horrifying faces or monsters at first glance.

Another thing that was really bothering him was just how quiet it was. Not a single insect was chirping, leaving nothing but the eerie sounds of their footsteps and the rhythmic flaps of Rainbow's wings. He could remember reading something about this once before. It was a common sign that a predator was nearby. This tidbit of information did very little to relax his growing paranoia.

Even Rainbow Dash had stopped throwing him the occasional suspicious look, now focused on every little noise that the forest made. Whenever she wasn't staring off into the darkness surrounding them, she would start cracking jokes or boasting about her many great feats of flying. Spike was pretty sure that it was all just a cover though.

Applejack seemed to be the most steady out of everyone right now, occasionally starting a conversation with somepony while still keeping an alert eye out for any movement in the trees. She'd warned them about something called a 'Timberwolf' that her farm was forced to deal with a number of times in the past. They were some kind of wooden constructs, born from the dark magic that possessed the forest itself and now hunted for unsuspecting prey in packs. Though Applejack soon realized that her story wasn't exactly helping them feel any better and changed quickly changed the subject.

But most conversations didn't get far before some random noise would be heard nearby, making all of their heads snap to its source. Still, despite everything, Pinkie Pie remained completely unfazed. If anything, she seemed excited at the prospect of meeting something out here, eager to present it with a cupcake or two from the bizarre physics-defying thing attached to her head that she called her mane.

'I swear that pony must have a horn hidden away somewhere inside that thing...'

Said bubbly mare wasn't present at the moment though, having gone up ahead on her own to scout despite Applejack's warnings. Naturally, he and the others were fairly reluctant to let her keep going out on her own but she'd so far returned every five minutes or so without fail. This last time, however, she'd been gone for at least fifteen minutes and they were beginning to get worried that something may have happened to her.

Unfortunately, they had still not found any signs of the alleged Castle Of The Two Sisters either. Spike at one point suggested that Rainbow could fly up above the trees and see if she could spot anything but the pegasus refused. Apparently storm clouds that covered most of the forest had a nasty tendency to randomly strike at anything that flew to high above the canopy.

'Where in Equestria is Pinkie Pie?!'

While she might be sporadic and silly, her presence alone tended to lighten the dreary mood currently hanging over them...

"Boingy! Boingy! Boingy!" Pinkie Pie chirped as she bounced along through the dark forest, looking every which way for any signs of the elusive castle she was tasked with finding.

As she skipped along, by some miracle, her shirt continued to keep her large bust contained even as it jiggled like Jelly with every bounce. A pair of night-vision goggles were strapped to her face, retrieved from her mane.

"Boingy! Boingy! Boi-Ooo!" She suddenly gasped, quickly changing course and bouncing into a small clearing. Lifting her goggles, she stuffed them back into her mane as bright moonlight shone in from the open canopy above.

There, in the center, a very colorful flower stood in an otherwise barren and rocky circle of ground. With no hesitation, Pinkie bounced right up to the strange plant and bent down to inspect it with a curious eye.

The six petals of the flower were all very vibrantly colored, with each showcasing a different spectrum of the rainbow. It reminded Pinkie a bit of another pony she knew, though Rainbow Dash's mane didn't have quite as many hues as this flower did. But yet, Pinkie couldn't help but feel that the flower looked kinda sad. Its petals sagged down from its center and their colors were a little dull and grey, as if on the verge of wilting. She could have sworn it had looked much healthier when she first saw it.

"Awww, you shouldn't feel sad Mr. Flower, what's wrong?" She asked aloud, though she got no response from it. "Hmm... oh, I know! How about I introduce you to all my friends! I bet Rarity would love to meet you, she loves all kinds of pretty things! And you'll definitely get along great with Rainbow Dash, you two already have so much in common!" She giggled.

Pinkie turned around with a smile to go find the others when she suddenly felt something latch onto her right leg, almost making her trip. Confused, Pinkie peered down to discover that a small greenish-blue vine had firmly wrapped itself around her left ankle.

"Huh, how'd that happen?" She wondered aloud, shaking her leg in an effort to dislodge herself from the plant.

Yet, instead of letting go, it's grip only seemed to tighten around her, as if it could tell that she was trying to shake it off. Tracing the vine's roots along the ground, she was surprised to see that it had apparently sprouted from the base of the flower she'd been talking to a moment ago. The face of said flower was tilted upwards now, almost as if it were looking right at her.

"Hey! Let me go! I'll be right back Mr. Flower, I promise!" Pinkie told it, giving the plant her best reassuring smile.

Its response came a moment later as another vine suddenly burst from the soil right beneath her. It quickly wrapped itself around her other ankle. Pinkie tried to pull away from it but instead, she was forcefully yanked backward, pulling the mare towards the center of the clearing.

"I'm super duper sorry if I said something mean! I really didn't mean it, honest!"

Bending down, Pinkie attempted to pull the vines off with her hands but then gasped as two more darted out, ensnaring both wrists and yanking her hands away. She struggled in their grip, desperately trying to get free, but they held on tight.

"Wa-Whoa!" Pinkie yelped as she was suddenly lifted up into the air by the vines with relative ease. They were clearly far stronger than she'd given them credit. "Let-*grr*-me down!" She grunted, tugging on her bonds fruitlessly.

The vines carried her closer to the center until she was now being held upright above the flower. Her arms and legs were pulled away from her body, rendering the earth pony helpless. With her arms raised, the hem of her shirt was being lifted as well, exposing her slightly pudgy belly to the cool and crisp night air. Pinkie stifled a giggle as a light breeze tickled her sides.

With her now suspended above it, the flower seemed to stare up at her, it's colorful petals wiggling and curling. Even more vines began emerging from the rocky soil at its base, those these ones looked different. Unlike the others holding her in place, these were smooth and almost shiny looking. One began coiling itself around her vulnerable waist, slowly making its way up her torso. The others seemed more interested in exploring the rest of her body, both toying with the strange curls of her mane as well as poking at the bottom of her shoes.

One paused as it heard Pinkie's tickled giggling and peered up. From its position, It could see right up underneath the overhang of her shirt as well as the underside of the large braless pink globes that were holding the fabric up. Curious, it slithered towards them before disappearing into her shirt.

Pinkie gasped as she felt the slender plant squirming up between her breasts. It was a strange yet familiar sensation that caused her to blush. A moment later a small bulge appeared in the top of her shirt as the vine explored the height of her cleavage. Eventually, it managed to wrap itself around one of her soft jugs before accidentally giving it a light squeeze.

"Hehe, hey! That tickles!" Pinkie giggled again, no longer feeling as if she were in any danger and becoming just as curious about this strange plant as it seemed to be of her.

Elsewhere, two more vines were working their way up the length of her legs until they both discovered that they could slip in through the legs holes of her shorts. They coiled around and around her thighs, working their way up until eventually, they met each other at the mare's crotch. Running out of places to go, they each began poking and prodding around Pinkie's balloon-print panties, prompting a few more ticklish giggles from the mare.

As Pinkie started to contemplate her situation, the vine wriggling around inside her shirt suddenly yanked itself upwards, inadvertently freeing her breasts from their cloth prison. Her rosy pink nipples had already started to harden from the cool forest air and the occasional squeezes that were keeping them that way. With her boobs now exposed, the vine was now able to discover her perky nipples which it too began prodding and playing with curiously. Pinkie's blush deepened at the stimulation, suddenly realizing just how much all of this was starting to turn her on.

"Ooh~!" Pinkie gasped as one of the vines inside her shorts dragged itself down between her legs, making it feel as if somepony had just licked pussy through her panties. "Ohh~, so that's what you're after, huh?" She giggled, liking where this was going.

In reply, the vine coiling around her breast squeezed a little harder, sending a sharp jolt of pleasure through the pink earth pony. At the same time, the troublemaker in her shorts continued to stroke and rub at her quickly dampening underwear while it's twin decided to investigate elsewhere. It didn't take very long for it to discover an old brownish stain left behind in the seat of her panties. Curious as to its origin, the tentacle probed the surrounding area, tickling Pinkie's anus and making her giggle even more.

Pinkie only now noticed that the constraints around her wrists had slowly been loosening. Yet, instead of using this opening to try and escape, Pinkie reached down and groped her one free breast, fingers digging deep into the pillowy mound. She massaged and rolled it more eagerly as her arousal continued to grow.

"Mmf~" She moaned, biting her bottom lip as she felt many of the smooth vines gliding across many sensitive parts of her body.

The two in her shorts seemed to finally realize that there was a layer of fabric preventing them from exploring any further so they started searching for a way past it. It wasn't long before they discovered the edge of her panties and, working together, they promptly slid them aside, exposing her puckered anus and wet pussy.

Pinkie moaned loudly as one rubbed against her vulva, her inflamed pussy positively dripping with her sticky fluids as the thick smell of her arousal filled the air. The stuffy odor seemed to have an immediate effect on the vines as each, excluding the ones still keeping her upright and aloft, was suddenly yanked back down into the ground.

"Aww, where did you all go? It was just starting to get fun!" Pinkie Pouted, squirming as she felt a trail of warm fluid running down the inside of her thigh.

But as the words left her muzzle, a trio of different looking vines sprouted up from the ground. While similar in color to those before them, these were much larger, with bulbous and very phallic-looking heads. Each featured a small hole at their tip and constantly leaked a semi-transparent green ooze from the tiny opening.

"Ohhh, I see~," Pinkie said, licking her lips excitedly.

As if reading her mind, one rushed upwards, squeezing up through her cleavage and hovering right in front of her lips. Crossing her eyes to get a better look at it, Pinkie giggled as it pressed itself up against her pursed lips. Between light prods, it appeared to glance up into her eyes, as if silently asking for permission to go inside her mouth.

With a happy nod, Pinkie opened her maw wide, allowing the vine to quickly slip forward and disappear past her lips. It thoroughly explored the inside of her mouth while she took a moment to inspect its taste and texture with her tongue. It felt smooth and quite slimy, though not enough that it would make her gag. After giving the underside of the vine's phallic head a little lick, it began to secret a small dollop of its green nectar. The stuff tasted sweet and sugary, strongly reminding her of cupcake icing.

"Mmm~" She moaned, suckling a little on the vine as she tried to milk more of the delicious nectar from it.

Down below, the other two slithered up inside her shorts, meeting each other from separate sides. Pinkie's marehood, which was practically burning with hot desire at this point, leaked copious amounts of sticky fluid that coated the head of one of the vines. Secreting a glob of sugary nectar, it bent up and smeared the ooze all over the mare's pussy.

The other turned it's attention to her anus which was already quivering with anticipation. Pinkie knew full-well what was about to happen. The vine wasted no time in secreting another dollop of its nectar before spreading it across her anus, lubricating it for what was to come.

After a few moments, both stopped and reared away from her entrances, leaving Pinkie feeling even more desperate than before. She grunted in confusion but her doubts were quickly silenced as both suddenly thrust upwards, penetrating both her tight holes at the same time. The sudden wave of mind-numbing please that followed took Pinkie by surprise, making her gasp loudly.

The one inside her mouth took this opportunity and darted down her throat. Pinkie almost started to gag before suddenly realizing that she could somehow still breath perfectly, despite having her airways blocked by the rather girthy intruder. All three vines continued to push deeper and deeper inside the mare, thrusting in and out in perfect sync as they did so.

The vine deep within her marehood coated the walls of her love tunnel with even more of its nectar, amplifying the pleasure Pinkie was receiving. She could feel as it repeatedly slammed into her cervix, yet she felt no pain whatsoever, only bliss. Meanwhile, her large intestine squeezed and pushed against the other invader, in a fruitless attempt to push it out. This only ended up encouraging it to delve deeper and deeper into her bowels.

The wild combination of both familiar and new stimuli mounted up fast, already drawing Pinkie closer and closer to her approaching climax. The vines seemed to sense this, picking up their pace, going even faster and deeper. They began to swell in size as they too raced towards an imminent release.

The first to dump its load turned out to be the one stuffed down Pinkie's throat which reared back one final time before diving down, it's tip dipping into her stomach. A thick fluid surged from the end, quickly filling her stomach to the brim with a flood of its warm creamy nectar. The other two came shortly after, timed perfectly with Pinkie's own climax as her entire body quivered and shook. In perfect unison, they came inside her, flooding her womb and bowels. Pinkie's stomach bulged, both her womb and belly filled. The remaining ooze overflowed around the vines' shafts, splattering all over the inside of her shorts and down her chin...

Almost a full minute later, Pinkie Pie was still panting breathlessly as the vines holding her aloft finally tired out. They lowered her softly back down to the ground, laying her on her stomach near the center of the clearing. The vines inside her finally receded each one spewing one last little spurt of sugary cum over each hole, across her back, and her muzzle. They slowly joined their kin back in the ground, leaving a numb and exhausted mare laying next to the now brilliantly glowing flower.

After a few moments, a delirious Pinkie grunted as she felt her sore anus widening. A huge ball, made from copious amounts of the plant's green spunk and her own mushy poop slowly emerged. The messy load spilled out into her shorts and quickly oozed down her legs.

"Mmnf~" Pinkie sighed as she drifted into unconsciousness, a happy smile spreading across her face as she let out a long and bubbly fart which echoed around the clearing.

*Pwwfrrprrrpftp~*

*Crick!*

"Gah!" Spike yelped.

Looking down he was relieved, though also annoyed, to see that he had only stepped on a fallen twig. Thankfully it didn't seem like the others had noticed his little moment of fear.

They had been searching for what felt like an eternity, but still had yet to find any signs of either the mysterious castle or Pinkie Pie. Worry was mounting that something bad really had happened to the mare, and though she seemed like a bit of a nutcase, her positive upbeat attitude was invaluable during tense times like this. Not to mention, she was pretty cute all things considered...

'I really hope she's alright...' He thought, though it felt like it had to have been at least over twenty minutes since she left...

"Hey!" A high pitched voice suddenly shouted from the tree canopy above them, making everypony jump or yelp and even causing Rainbow Dash to crash face-first into the trunk of a tree as she swung around in the air.

It was Pinkie Pie! Though, from the forest floor, Spike could only just see her head poking out from the depths of a tree's leaves. She was mostly hidden amongst the many twisting branches, but her characteristically wide smile was in full view. Squinting, Spike noticed a peculiar glob of something shiny and green that was stuck to part of her mane.

"Pinkie Pie! Where in tarnation have you been?! We've all been worried sick!" Applejack shouted up at the mare, who apparently didn't question the fact that she was up in a tree.

"Sorry, but there's no time to explain! I found the big spooky castle thingy!" Pinkie told them with an excited grin.

"Y-you what!?" Twilight gasped.
