木精狼倒下了,就像突然陷入了沉睡一样。瑞瑞冲到了甜贝儿身边扶她起来。
 
她问道:“甜贝儿,你刚刚在想什么呢?”
 
甜贝儿颤抖着说道:“总要有小马去救纠纠,”
 
暮暮把她的魔法盾给消失掉,甜贝儿小跑过去跟她们会合。
 
暮暮问道:“现在,兽马这一切是怎么一回事?”
 
“说来话长,”莉月回应道,“但简短的说法是,甜贝儿发现那木精狼其实是兽马,我们从泽科拉那里得到了解药,然后----”
 
“我们尝试跟你们说希望你们能处理好,但你们忙着保护我们,什么都没听。”小萍花边说边怒视着她的姐姐。
 
“所以我们打算自己处理。”飞板璐解释道,“我们认为木精狼要么是莉月的姐姐或萍琪派。”
 
萍琪吃惊地问道:“为什么是我?”
 
“你在小薇的派对上的表现是真的奇怪,”小萍花说道,“你还说你在木精狼袭击方糖甜点屋的时候睡着了。”
 
“噢~~嗯,那是因为我想打破满月第一天晚上陆马玩独轮车杂耍的小马国记录,看到了吗?”萍琪又不知道从哪里抽出来了三辆独轮车,在其它小马想说什么的时候开始摆弄它们。“弄得我第二天就有点累了。”
 
飞板璐继续说道:“不管怎样。。。我们来这里是因为担心你们,然后我们发现那木精狼是纠纠,但我们不能让你们把她送走,要不然她会永远困在木精狼的形态里。”
 
“哇,”暮暮说道,“那真是。。。太好了!”
 
“当然”云宝黛西补充道,“你们干得真是太棒了,尤其是在阻止我们的时候。”
 
“嘿,现在”苹果杰克看着瑞瑞还在哭着抽着鼻子说道,“下次可不要这么干了。”
 
在她们身后,传来有小马呻吟的声音。一堆木头、树叶和树皮堆在木精狼曾经站着的地方,纠纠从里面伸出了她的头,疑惑着看着四周。
 
她问道:“嗨,你们好,刚刚发生了什么?”莉月和童子军们向她跑了过去。
 
甜贝儿问道:“纠纠,你没事吧?”
 
纠纠回答道:“我想确实没事。”
 
小萍花问道:“之前到底发生了什么?”
 
纠纠边从树叶堆里爬了出来边说道:“我不知道。。前几天我从学校回家,感到很不舒服,所以我待在家里没去参加派对,但后来。。。我做了一个疯狂的梦。。。而且我想吃很多很多的糖果。。。我进了森林看到一些小马,还觉得非常有意思。。。”
 
莉月严肃地说道:“其实那并不是梦,”然后她微笑地朝着小萍花、甜贝儿和飞板璐都点了点头。“但你现在已经没事了,这多亏了可爱标记童子军们。”
 
小萍花用蹄子搂着莉月说道:“是所有的可爱标记童子军们。”莉月顿时喜形于色。
 
“我想我还欠你一个道歉,甜心。”苹果杰克对着妹妹说道,“我们应该早点听你们的。”
 
“没事。。。暂时来看”小萍花笑了,“不过下次你最好能听我说。”
 
“下次?我敢肯定你是喜欢上找麻烦了,不是吗?”
 
当苹果姐妹还在争吵的时候,瑞瑞看向了甜贝儿。
 
她说道:“甜贝儿,亲爱的,我真为你感到骄傲。”
 
甜贝儿高兴地说道:“喔。。。我只是很高兴我不是胆小鬼。”
 
“你在开玩笑吧,”飞板璐叫道,“就你之前救纠纠的样子,没有小马会再这么叫你了!”
 
此时暮暮正若有所思地看着月亮,她看向了童子军。
 
“尽管我并不喜欢你们把自身置于危险之中,但我们都应该感谢你们,你们都做了一些非常出色的调查。但你们有没有弄明白纠纠为什么会变成兽马呢?”童子军们都摇了摇头。
 
小萍花承认道:“这是我们唯一一件没有搞懂的事情。”暮暮的脸上看起来很不安。
 
云宝黛西问道:“怎么了,暮暮?”
 
“在小马镇已经有这样危险的魔法存在了,而我并不喜欢这样。”天角兽公主皱了皱眉。

The Timberwolf collapsed, as if she had suddenly fallen into a deep sleep. Rarity rushed toward Sweetie Belle and helped her up.
 
“Sweetie Belle, what were you thinking?” she asked.
 
“Somepony had to help Twist,” Sweetie Belle said shakily. Twilight’s shield vanished, and she trotted over to join them.
 
“Now, what is all this about a werepony?” Twilight asked.
 
“It’s a long story,” Lilymoon asked. “But the short version is, Sweetie Belle figured out the Timberwolf was a werepony, we got a cure from Zecora, and then---”
 
“We tired to tell y’all so you could handle it. But you were so busy protectin’ us, you wouldn’t listen,” Apple Bloom finished, glaring at her sister.
 
“So we had to deal with ourselves,” Scootaloo explained. “We thought the Timberwolf was either Lilymoon’s sister or Pinkie Pie.”
 
“Why me?” Pinkie Pie asked, shocked.
 
“You were actually really weird at Zipporwhill’s party,” Apple Bloom said, “and you said you slept through the Timberwolf attack on Sugarcube Corner.”
 
“Ohhhhhh. Well, that’s because I was trying to break the Equestria record for Earth pony unicycle juggling on the first night of a full moon. See?” Pinkie whipped three unicycles out of nowhere and began juggling them as the others gaped. “It made me kinda tired the next day.”
 
“Anyhow…we came out here because we were worried about your guys,” Scootaloo continued. “And then we found out the Timberwolf was Twist. But we couldn’t let you send her away, or she’d get stuck as a werepony forever.”
 
“Wow,” Twilight said. “That’s…really good work.”
 
“Definitely,” Rainbow Dash added. “You guys were pretty awesome. Especially standing up to us!”
 
“Hey now,” Applejack said as Rarity sniffed. “Don’t push it.”
 
Behind them, somepony groaned. A pile of wood, leaves, and bark lay where the Timberwolf had been. Twist poked out her head. She looked around, confused.
 
“Hey, you guyth. Whath goin’ on?” she asked. Lilymoon and the Crusaders rushed over to her.
 
“Twist, are you okay?” Sweetie Belle asked.
 
“I think tho,” she responded.
 
“What happened?” asked Apple Bloom.
 
“I hafth no idea,” Twist said as she crawled out of the pile. “I got home from thschool the other day and felt groth. Tho I thtayed home from the party. But then…I had a crathy dream…and I wanted to eat loth and loth of candy…I thaw thom ponies in the Forest, and felt really funny…”
 
“It wasn’t a dream,” Lilymoon said seriously. Then she smiled and nodded toward Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle. “But you’re okay now. Thanks to the Cutie Mark Crusaders.”
 
Apple Bloom put her hoof around Lilymoon and said, “All the Cutie Mark Crusaders.” Lilymoon beamed.
 
“I guess I owe you an apology, sugarcube,” Applejack told her sister. “We shoulda listened to y’all.”
 
“It’s okay…for now.” Apple Bloom smiled. “But next time you’d better listen.”
 
“Next time? I swear, you just love findin’ trouble, don’tcha?”
 
As the Apple sisters continued to bicker, Rarity turned to Sweetie Belle.
 
“Sweetie Belle, darling, I’m so proud of you,” she said.
 
“Awwwww…I’m just glad I wasn’t a scaredy-pony.” Sweetie Belle said happily.
 
“Are you kidding?” Scootaloo said. “After that move? Nopony can ever call you scared again!”
 
Twilight was staring up at the moon thoughtfully. She looked at the Crusaders.
 
“Even though I don’t love you putting yourselves in danger, we all owe you our thanks. You did some excellent research. But did you ever figure out how Twist became a werepony?” The Crusaders all shook their heads.
 
“That’s the one thing we can’t quite get,” Apple Bloom admitted. Twilight looked troubled.
 
“What’s wrong, Twilight?” Rainbow Dash asked.
 
“There’s some dangerous magic being cast here in Ponyville. And I don’t like it.” The Alicorn princess frowned.
