Do or Deer -- By al.quire   Setting: Before the Princess Twilight events, in Ponyville.  Specifically: Whitetail Woods, Golden Oak Library, Ponyville Streets, Carousel Boutique  Sugarcube Corner, Fluttershy's cottage, Outside Ponyville (Random Grasslands), and Sweet Apple Acres.  (Inside and outside the barn) Summary: Fluttershy discovers a family of Deers in the Whitetail Forest that has  a Pony living with them. The main 6 must find a way to make him go live in Ponyville.  Even if the main 6 tries their best to make Treebark stay in Ponyville, he still decides  to go to the forest with his "real family".   Story:   It dawns in the Whitetail Forest. the camera pans down to show the road. Fluttershy is walking in it with a group of Squirrels.   Fluttershy: Here we are, little squirrels!. Goodness, it just seems to be  the perfect place for your new home.   The camera zooms out and shows a scene that shows how calm the Whitetail Forest looks. .   Fluttershy: Maybe is this bush a good place for you to live?   Fluttershy enters in the bush. After checking in a bush, Fluttershy's head looms again, now with a Squirrel in her head. Fluttershy looks up with the Squirrel looking at her with a curious face. She smiles.   The scene lasts for a second, untill a weird bush moving noise from behind some bushes. Both watch to the same direction, the squirrel just looking at it, and Fluttershy scared.   Instantly after watching: Fluttershy: W-what was that!?   The bush is shown, and the noise sounds again. The squirrels stay togheter frightened, and look to Fluttershy. Fluttershy watches them how scared they are, takes a deep breath, and says:   Fluttershy: Don't worry, i-i will go check...(With a subtle smile, but nervous)   Fluttershy goes check the bushes where the snorts sound, with the hoofs shaking of how frightened she is. She opens the bushes, and she checks the other side of the bushes. Fluttershy eyes open widely.   There's a pair of deers in the other side of the bush. They're resting and kind of "talking" with snorts. Fluttershy's face is shown again, and the eyes close, making a sigh of relief. With the eyes still closed, she notices a snort that doesn't sounds like the other snorts at all, and she opens the eyes even more widely.   The scene shows both deers and Treebark appears. Obviously, Fluttershy notices he's not a deer, and Fluttershy is shown with a "dramatic" face, the music finishes at the same time the screen fades to black.   [OPENING THEME]   The scene appears at the Golden Oak Library, with Twilight holding a book with magic while Spike, following her has a pile of a lot of books. Somebody knocks the door. And Spike looks to the door, he goes to open it and before he could catch the doorknob with the tail, Fluttershy opens the door with strength, knocking spike. Instantly, she says:   Fluttershy: Twilight! Twilight! You wont believe what i saw in the woods!.   She calms a lot, and she says with softness:   Fluttershy: O-or i think, so...   Spike looms in the pile of books, with a frown looking at her. When he looms, Fluttershy looks him for a second and then she looks to twilight back.   Twilight Sparkle: What could it be?   Fluttershy: I-i think i saw a Pony in the woods...   Twilight looks barely curious about it.   Twilight Sparkle: Yeah...And?   Fluttershy: It...It wasn't alone...   Twilight now looks curious but kind of annoyed at the same time. Twilight Sparkle: Ok...So--   Fluttershy interrupts Twilight, and she says with a loud voice: Fluttershy: He was with a deer family!.   Twilight Looks impressed. Twilight Sparkle: With a deer family?!.   The camera zooms out and Pinkie Pie appears in the side of Twilight. Pinkie Pie: With a deer family?!   Twilight Looks at Pinkie pie with a frown. Twilight Sparkle: Pinkie Pie, When did you get here?   Pinkie Pie: I was here helping you find a book, silly.   Everyone turns to look to Spike, and he says while he's trying to search in the pile of books.   Spike: Yeah. And well, actually i found it when it hit my face...   A animation of a Headache in Spike. Twilight takes the book with magic. Everyone looking at it. And spike gets close to the circle of ponies gathered to look at the book.   Twilight Sparkle: I have been studying deers for a couple of weeks, and they're quite fascinating. (Says quite fascinating, while looking up, and with a subtle smile)   Now the scene focus on the drawings in the book. Twilight Sparkle: They actually are species that likes to move from forest to forest. They seem to have access to magic through the trees but i'm not sure about it...Or how...   She closes the book, and everyone who was looking to it now looks to Twilight: Twilight Sparkle: This seems to be the season for them to change forest.   Fluttershy now looks nervous. Fluttershy: W-what!, no!, they can't leave now!, they have a pony with them!.   Twilight Sparkle: But Fluttershy!. Are you really sure it was a pony?   Fluttershy: Pretty sure! please, can we just go check? Please please please? (Some SFX of a Rubber Ducky when smiling)   Twilight Sparkle looks to Pinkie Pie, while Pinkie is smiling all way through. After that, she looks to Fluttershy again. And nods with her head.   Fluttershy: YES!   Twilight Sparkle: We should go right now, girls. They can be leaving anytime soon...     Appears a scene of the Whitetail Forest, with the main 6 walking in the same path. Rainbow Dash is flying, Pinkie Pie is jump-walking as usuall, and Fluttershy it's in the lead.   Rainbow Dash: Sooo, let me get this clear. Are we searching for a deer?   Applejack: No, sugar cube. We are searching for a pony that THINKS it's a deer.   She thinks for a second, and says: Rainbow Dash: Eeeh...I still don't get it, why he thinks he's a deer?   Rarity: Maybe he has never seen a Pony before, dear. (She looks straight with the eyes widely open) Rarity: Maybe he doesn't even knows what fashion is!.   Pinkie Pie: They shouldn't care because they have those nice dots in their back!.   While Rarity looks angry to Pinkie Pie, and Pinkie Pie of course is smiling, Fluttershy says: Fluttershy: I...I just hope they're still there...   Twilight Sparkle: In fact, the time is not in our favor...Rainbow Dash, can you go search flying?   Rainbow Dash: Well that's something i can do!.   And Rainbow Dash goes flying fast(hue) to the air. Theres a few scenes of Rainbow Dash searching in the forest, and when she finds the family of deers, she goes to the surface to check if they really are. When she arrives the surface, Rainbow Dash says, with the eyes closed:   Rainbow Dash: Didn't took me a second!   When she opens the eyes, she looks suprised and the camera zooms out to show the Ponies are already there. Doing various things, like:   Twilight Sparkle it's watching the hooves of the deers. Fluttershy it's just flying above the Deers. Applejack it's sitting close to the place. and Rarity it's watching at the gems and the "lovely design" in the back of Mapleleaf. While saying a "Ooooh!".   Rainbow Dash: No way!, how come did you find the deers faster than i?   Twilight Sparkle: Well Pinkie did...Uh...   Everyone watches Pinkie while she's smelling the surface, like a dog, trying to track something. Everyone is watching her.   Rarity: Uh...Whatever she did. (And she continues looking at the gems)   Redwood: I'm not used to get visitors...Why are you here?   Fluttershy: Oh, h-hello mister...   Redwood: Redwood. My name is Redwood, and she is Mapleleaf.   Fluttershy: Ok...Mister Redwood, i was asking if you could stay for a little more time in the Whitetail Woods...   Redwood looks to Mapleleaf curious, and then looks to Fluttershy back: Redwood: Why would we do that? We should leave today, in fact.   Applejack stands up and she starts walking to where the deers are. Applejack: Because we think you might have a Pony in your family. I know it might sound weird, but--   Treebark: I'm here, dad!.   Everyone looks at the bush where the voice came from. Treebark appears from behind a bush happy, and then he looks suprised to the ponies.   Treebark: W-who...Are you?...   He looks for a second and start walking and looking how the ponies are.   Treebark: Why you look so...Familiar?   After watching for a moment at the ponies, Treebark looks his dad, searching for answers.   Redwood: Well i...   Applejack looks Redwood, and does a gesture to calm him down. After that, she looks to Treebark.   Applejack: Hey mate, wanna' come with us to Ponyville?   Treebark: W-why?   Twilight Sparkle: Because we SLIGHTLY think that you...Might not belong here.   Treebark looks sad and looks down.   Pinkie Pie: Oh just cheer up, Deer pony!. You could meet a lot of new friends!.   Fluttershy: That's true, even a shy pony like me has a group of nice friends.   Rarity: I could get you some REALLY good dresses to fit your style, i have to say, your mane fits for a new colt dress i've been designing!.   Twilight Sparkle: And you could learn something about yourself after all. Please  Come with us. Please?   Treebark it's looking to the ponies, thinking. Then he looks at his parents. He looks again to the ponies.   Treebark: Well if i'm like them...Then i must belong with them.   Redwood: B-but Treeb--!   Mapleleaf: It's ok...He's in the age now, he should be able to choose what is better for him.   Everyone greets him, group hug, hue, etc.   Redwood: But remember this one thing, Treebark.   Everyone stops and looks with the eyes widely open to the Deers, in the same position.   Redwood: You leave to live with the Ponies if you want, it's...It's ok. But remember, you can  always come back, we will leave when it gets dark.   They get one last family-hug. And then Treebark decides to go with the ponies. The scene fades into the next one. They are walking in the entrance of Ponyville.   They enter Ponyville, and walk through the streets. Everyone looks strange at Treebark because of the "antlers" he has in his head.   Twilight Sparkle: Well, this is Ponyville!. Looks like a nice place, isn't it?   Treebark looks sad to Twilight, without saying anything at all.   Now Rainbow Dash looks at the skies like thinking of something to say about the antlers.   Rainbow Dash: You know, you should get those antlers out...I'll help you get rid of them!.   They stop walking. Twilight Sparkle: Rainbow!.   Everyone looks at Treebark, except for Rainbow that actually looks at the antlers. Treebark: Nah, it's ok, i should actually get rid of them. It's spring.   Treebark throws his "antlers" away, everybody looks at him for a second and then they keep walking.   While he looks how his Antlers go away, Treebark says: Treebark: So...What can we do in Ponyville?   Pinkie Pie: What CAN'T we do in Ponyville!, let me explain you a few things about it.   [Song Plays]   After the song stops, they are in the barn, and Applejack it's outside with Treebark in the apple acres.   Twilight Sparkle: Well...He doesn't seems very convinced about staying here.   Pinkie Pie appears in the front of the scene, shocked, and she says: Pinkie Pie: What i've done wrong!, he doesn't even smiles a single BIT!.   Pinkie now sits, still with a frightened face, and Fluttershy tries to calm her.   While Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy are still in the background, Rarity says: Rarity: He just doesn't seems to...Like to live the city way...   Pinkie Pie looks at Rarity Pinkie Pie: Wasn't it the Pony way?   Rarity: It's not just that, dear.   Pinkie Pie now looks down. Rainbow Dash: Well i think he should go back to the woods.   Now everyone looks to Rainbow Dash. Rarity: Excuse me?   Rainbow Dash: Uhm, yeah. That's it. He should go back to the woods.   The door of the barn opens, everyone looking still looking suprised about what Rainbow Dash said, and Applejack enters without Treebark.   Twilight Sparkle: Applejack, Where is Treebark?   Applejack: Ah' sent him back to the Whitetail Woods, with his parents.   Everyone, except for Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy, now look even more shocked and say. Twilight, Pinkie and Rarity: WHAAAT?!.   Applejack: He wants to be with his parents, he was sad here.   Twilight looks shocked Twilight Sparkle: But-b-but but but!   Applejack: It's just what is correct, dear. We didn't had other option.   Twilight Sparkle looks at the rest of the Main 6, and then she says: Twilight Sparkle: Well, i think that's true...   Everyone looks down and Spike enters the barn running, and really tired.   Spike: Twilight! Twilight!   Twilight: What Spike?   Spike: I-i...Oh wait just give me a second...   Spike tries to breath for a while, and then he stops   Twilight: ...Done?   Spike: Yeah, thanks.   Spike is calm and then he is the same shock before he entered here again.   Spike: I saw Treebark entering the Everfree Forest!.   Everyone: WHAAAAT?!.   Rarity: I just can't hold all this! *faints*   While now Pinkie and Fluttershy tries to "get back" Rarity, Applejack says:   Applejack: B-but i left him in the Whitetail Woods!, not in Everfree!.   Twilight Sparkle: It doesn't matter right now, we have to go save Treebark!.   Everyone goes outside the barn running, when everyone left, Rarity "recovers", and she goes with them.   The scene faints into the Everfree Forest.   They are inside it, and they stop running Twilight Sparkle: Pinkie! We need you to search for Treebark!.   Pinkie Pie tracks again like a dog, everyone follows her, except for Rainbow Dash that says:   Rainbow Dash: Seriously?   And then she follows Pinkie Pie, with the rest of the group.   They find Treebark trapped by a group of (Insert undefined creature living in the Everfree Forest). The main 6 tries to make them leave but everything seems to be unnefective. It all seems lost untill Redwood appears and casts magic with his antlers. He saves the main 6, Spike, and Treebark. Treebark says how he misses them and he decides to stay with him. The main 6 understands that he is what he wants to be, and sends a letter to Princess Celestia.   Treebark: I heard a voice...Coming from here...   Mapleleaf: You might not be a deer...But you have the spirit of one. That's enough for us.         Characters: The Main 6, Treebark, Redwood, Mapleleaf.   Sidenotes: => Rarity loves the gems and accessories of Mapleleaf, though in a start she thought Deers weren't interested in Fashion. => Twilight is currently studying about deers and it's interested to know if they can really do magic. And through the episode she tries to get some clues about it, though she discovers in the last scenes they really can. => The Deers can do magic through their antlers -- They go from forest to forest to obtain the "spirit" of the season they are from the trees, and uses it to "reload" their magic. The most powerfull season strength it's in Spring, because of the relation Spring has with a "New beginning" with the leaves of the trees. => Treebark is after all, completely aware he's a Pony. But he still wants to go with his "parents". => Rainbow Dash is in favor of Treebark going back to the woods, because of the loyalty factor. => Applejack is also in favor of Treebark going back to the woods. Even if she knows it's better for him to stay in Ponyville, she also cares about what has been his family to him. Because well, you know. >No parents. => Fluttershy can't decide wether to make him stay or just let him go, as she knows Treebark is sad, but she also knows what's better for him. => Spike and Treebark become great friends because of what they actually have in common. => Pinkie Pie is as usuall, trying to get everyone smile. And she tries practically all the episode to make Treebark smile, though, she never gets him smile, untill the last scenes. => The Everfree forest is a sanctum to deers, as practically nobody goes there, it's a perfect place for Deers to stay in peace and connect with the nature. Deers can obtain powers from the other forest but they are more powerfull in the Everfree.
