By a cottage in the woods, overrun with sweet little furry animals and- is that a bear? Oh my. Okay, it's a bear.

Anyway, next to this cottage with a, bear, in it, there seems to be a new tree.

I know it's new, because it appears to be speaking.

"Hello Everett, I've come to join you," whispers the tree.

The tree is now slowly and dramatically, like a horrific monster from a horror movie, removing one of its roots from the ground. Then, suddenly, faster than a pouncing snake, the root is plunged straight into the ground in front of the tree.

"Eeevereeett..."

Another root snakes out and plunges forward, and another, and another.

"Eeevereeeett..."

"Eeevereet, don't be scared, it's me, Fluttershy..."

The tree is moving as fast as a dawdling pony now, roots plunging into fresh soil, leaving small tunnels behind it.

"Eeeevereeett, com'ere now..."

Suddenly the tree whips around, staring right at where we are, though of course it- she? – can't see us, I'm a Narrator after all, and you're a Reader-

"Hello there. Spying, are you?"

It's voice is soft and dangerous. There's got to be someone else here, she obviously can't see us-

"I can't, can I? You can't hide from me, I know your... tricks. I know everything about you, Gl-"
