小萍花大声地宣布：“这次的可爱标记童子军的会议主题是弄清木精狼在干什么。”
莉月看着小萍花和甜贝儿说道：“我不是可爱标记童子军没有关系吧？”
童子军们都摇了摇头，镇上的搜捕仍在进行（尽管她们被明确告知不要参与进来），所以小萍花建议她们都来童子军俱乐部见面，至少她们去可以一起想出一些方法来帮助她们的姐姐和其它小马。
“清单上的第一项，”小萍花从她的笔记中读到：“是什么导致木精狼袭击镇子？”
飞板璐提议道：“有小马侮辱了他们？”
飞板璐又笑着说道：“他们的树皮比他们的咬过还粗糙？”
莉月问道：“为了复仇？”
“这个主意不错！还有什么？”小萍花在一张大纸上草草地记着笔记。甜贝尔有个主意，但听起来很疯狂，甚至对她来说…然而她就是想到这一点的小马！小萍花转身看着她。“你还没说什么呢，甜贝儿。没有什么主意吗？”甜贝尔深吸了一口气，然后匆忙地开始了她的理论。
“我认为木精狼并没有攻击小马。它是想吃糖！就像在小薇的生日派对上：它吃掉了桌子上所有的糖果。它吃了纸杯蛋糕、它也吃了生日蛋糕，这都是甜的，但小狗蛋糕没吃，那不是甜的！然后，它袭击了蛋糕太太的小店也是小马镇最甜的地方，但除了糖果之外什么也没碰！”甜贝尔停止了她的论述，其他小马都盯着她看。
最后，小萍花叹了口气说道：“如果你实在没有一个有效的建议的话，你也不需要编这些了。”
甜贝尔叫道：“但我是认真的！”她的声音愤怒得几近爆裂。
飞板璐说道：“谁听说过木精狼吃糖果？那不是它的那些大牙齿会吃的东西。”
莉月若有所思地说道：“其实。。。甜贝尔可能是对的。”
飞板璐脱口而出：“啥？”
甜贝儿叫道：“我就说吧！”
“你们听说过兽马（wereponies）吗？”莉月向在场的小马问道，“会变成不同生物的小马？”
小萍花回忆道：“这么说来有一次，小蝶就变成了果蝠小马……”
“就像那样。”莉月点了点头。“但那只有在满月的时候才会发生。”
飞板璐瞪大了眼睛问道：“你认为那只木精狼可能真的是……一只小马？”
甜贝儿紧张地问道：“但会是谁呢？” 她知道不可能会是她的朋友或者是她的姐姐，因为当怪物出现时她们都在附近，但如果是她认识的其他小马呢，比如镇长小姐？或者是车厘子老师！
“我不知道。”莉月耸耸肩。“我只是觉得这只木精狼并不像一只真正的木精狼，尤其是在吃糖的方面，但如果那真是一个爱吃甜食的小马的话……”
小萍花问道：“好吧，你是怎么发现那是个兽马的？”
“我不知道。”莉月又承认道。“但我知道我们在哪里能找到答案！”

“This meeting of the Cutie Mark Crusaders has been called try ’n’ figure out what that Timberwolf is up to!” Apple Bloom announced.
Lilymoon looked from Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle. “Does it matter that I’m not a Cutie Mark Crusaders?” she asked.
They shook their heads. With all the craziness going on (which they were specifically told not to get involved in), Apple Bloom suggested they meet at the Crusaders Clubhouse. At the very least they could try to come up with some ideas to help out their sisters and the others.
“First item on the list,” Apple Bloom read from her notes, “what makes Timberwolves attack?”
“Somepony insulted them?” Scootaloo suggested.
“Their bark is wrose than their bite?” Scootaloo said, grinning.
“Revenge?” Lilymoon asked.
“Good! What else?” Apple Bloom jotted notes down on a big piece of paper. Sweetie Belle had an idea, but it sounded pretty crazy, even to her… and she was the one who had thought of it! Apple Bloom turned to look at her. “You haven’t said anythin’ yet, Sweetie Belle. Don’tcha have any ideas?” Sweetie Belle took a deep breath, then launched into her theory in a rush.
“I think the Timberwolf isn’t attacking ponies. It’s going after sugar! Like at Zipporwhill’s birthday party: It ate all the candy on the table. And it went after cupcakes. And it ate the birthday cake, which was sweet, but not the dog cake, which wasn’t! And then, it attacked the sugariest part of Ponyville, Mrs.Cake’s shop. But it didn’t touch anything but the candy and sweets!” Sweetie Belle stopped talking. The others stared at her.
Finally, Apple Bloom sighed. “If you don’t have a serious suggestion, you don’t need to make stuff up,” she said.
“But I am being serious!” Sweetie Belle said, her voice cracking indignantly.
“Who ever heard of a Timberwolf eating candy? That’s not what those big teeth ate for.” Scootaloo said.
“Actually,” Lilymoon said thoughtfully, “Sweetie Belle might be onto something.”
“What?” Scootaloo blurted.
“Ha!” Sweetie Belle said.
“Have you ever heard of wereponies?” Lilymoon asked the others. “Ponies who change into different creatures?”
“There was that one time Fluttershy turned into a vampire fruit bat-pony…” Apple Bloom said, remembering.
“Like that.” Lilymoon nodded. “Only it happens on a full moon.”
“You think the Timberwolf may be actually… a pony?”Scootaloo asked, her eyes wide.
“Which pony?” Sweetie Belle asked nervously. She knew it couldn’t be her friends or her sister, since they had all been around when the monster showed up. But what if it was somepony else she knew, like Mayor Mare? Or Miss Cheerilee!
“I don’t know.” Lilymoon shrugged. “I’m just saying, this Timberwolf isn’t acting like a real Timberwolf. Especially when it comes to candy. But if it was really a werepony who had sweet tooth…”
“Well, how do you spot a werepony?” Apple Bloom asked.
“I don’t know.” Lilymoon admitted again. “But I know where we can find out!”
