Maud Pie's Choice

On the rock farm lived the Pie family. One of the sisters is Maud Pie. She's an expert in rocks. "Look," Maud Pie said, "One of your relatives." She was talking to the rock that she had. Of course, it was her pet rock, which she named boulder.

"Do you see?" Maud Pie asked. Boulder didn't reply. Maud Pie continued to look at the rocks when. "Maud Pie!" a voice called. "Yes, mother?" Maud Pie called back. It was Cloudy Quartz, Maud Pie's mother.

"I need your help, darling," Cloudy Quartz called, "Your father is struggling with the loose rocks again." "I'll be there," Maud Pie said and she left to help her father.

Also working on the farm were two of Maud Pie's sisters. "Come on, Marble Pie!" Limestone Pie said, "We need your help!" "Oh, ok," Marble Pie replied shyly. So both ponies left to help their father.

There was one more sister in the family, but she's busy having fun in Ponyville. Together, the five ponies keep the rock farm running like clockwork.

Later that day, after helping her parents, Maud Pie was looking through a magazine. "Snorkel Clam," Maud Pie said, looking at one image from the magazine, "Lovely rocks you've got there." She then flipped a few pages.

"What's this?" Maud Pie said, "The Toy Taker? What kind of a lame villain is that?" She then looked at another page. "Wooden Train Stealers?" Maud Pie said, "Come on. That is so pathetic."

She flipped through some more pages until she came across a certain page. "What's this? Maud Pie said, "A rock exhibit and exploration in Bouldertown?" Maud Pie heard of Bouldertown. She wanted to visit the place ever since she was a little filly.

Later that day, at dinner time, the family gathered around. After they've finished their dinner, Maud Pie made an announcement. "Go on ahead, Maud," Igneous Rock said. And so Maud Pie did.

"Mother, father," Maud Pie said, "Sisters." So Igneous Rock, Cloudy Quartz, Marble Pie and Limestone Pie looked at Maud Pie. "What is it?" Limestone Pie asked.

"Everypony," Maud Pie announced, "I would like to go on a journey on my own, like our sister, Pinkie Pie. The other ponies looked at Maud Pie like they've never heard of her before. "Go on a journey?" Cloudy Quartz repeated. "Yes," Maud Pie said.

"Ok," Marble Pie replied. "To where?" Limestone Pie. "To Bouldertown," Maud Pie answered. "Bouldertown," Limestone Pie repeated. "Yes," Maud Pie said, "Bouldertown. I feel that there is a destiny waiting for me there. I can feel it."

The other ponies stared at Maud Pie for what appears to be for a long time. Then Igneous Rock said, "If that is what you want to do, then you can go." "Thank you, father," Maud Pie said, "I knew you'd understand." "I wish you good luck, Maud," Marble Pie said. "Yeah," Limestone Pie said, not wanting to admit it.

So with that, Maud Pie was satisfied with her choice and she left to go to her room to prepare to leave.
