The forest the group had to pass was dark and spooky before Tirac and Enchantra started their Eternal Darkness spell, but now it was scarier. Sparkler led the way, giving just enough light for the group to see where they were going.

"It's creepy in here," Airedale said.

"Ha, you should see it normally," Medley said.

"I 'ope we reach Midnight Castle soon," Davy said, looking around. "It's downright scary in 'ere!"

Suddenly, Davy heard some rustling in the bushes. He screamed and jumped into Micky's arms. Micky got a look on his face and dropped his English friend.

"Don't do that," he said.

"I'll go see what it is!" Fire Fly shouted, and she jumped into the bush. She popped out with the Bushwoolies.

"It's scary out here!" one shouted.

"Yeah, scary! Real scary, yeah, yeah scary!" the other Bushwoolies agreed.

"We don't want to be alone!"

"No, not alone, no, uh uh!"

"I guess they can come with us," Megan said.

"The more the merrier, I always say," Airedale replied.

"Besides, we may need a little extra help defeated Tirac and Enchantra," Buttons said. "Especially without the Rainbow of Light."


The group walked further into the woods. Fire Fly flew in front of Sparkler, since she knew the way to Midnight Castle and Sparkler didn't. The forest got darker as they walked further down.

"I'm scared," Peter said. "I wish I had my night light."


The crew continued to walk through the forest. Suddenly, they heard the sound of growling in the distance. It was so dark; nobody could see what it was.

"Micky, you got a flashlight?" Davy asked.

"Yeah, somewhere in here," Micky said.

The three Monkees fiddled around with the bag Micky was carrying pulling out just about everything until Davy found the flashlight. He turned it on the shined it on the bushes where the growling was coming from. It turned out to be a giant dragon.

"Oh Mylanta," Davy said.

"Run!" Megan shouted, jumping on Fire Fly's back.

The Monkees jumped on the Pegasi and they flew off. The unicorns winked out, and the Earth Ponies and the Bushwoolies ran away. The dragon growled and breathed fire at the ponies and the others. Enchantra watched what was going on through her crystal ball and cracked up.

"I knew my dragon would stop them," she said. "Finish them off!"

The dragon growled and chased the Earth Ponies and the Bushwoolies. The ponies hid in the bushes while the Bushwoolies dug tunnels underground. However, one was a little late and the dragon caught him and swallowed him. Then he breathed fire at some of the ponies.

"What are we gonna do?!" Apple Jack asked, panicked.

"Hey Furnace Breath!" Micky called. "Up here!"

"Bet you can't catch us!" Lofty shouted. She and Micky flew around until they were above the river.

"Nyah-nyah-nyah!" Micky called.

The dragon growled and stepped into the river. Then Megan stuck her fingers in her mouth and whistled.

"Now, Sea Ponies!" she shouted.

The Sea Ponies popped out of the water and splashed the dragon repeatedly until his fire went out. Then, the Sea Ponies pushed him toward the current where he was swept under and was never seen from again.


"Alas, poor Bushwoolie," Micky said. "We hardly knew ye."

The Ponies, Megan, the Monkees, and the Bushwoolies gave a moment of silence for the Bushwoolie that was eaten by the dragon. Then they continued on their way.
