13. A funny ride - Set off to the Timanfaya-Mountains

"Come on, you guys. You can ride on us." Sweet Stuff suggested. The kids nodded and Hank climbed on Wind Whistler and Molly climbed on Gingerbread's back and stroked her. And Danny went to North Star. The other kids stood there a little bit undecided. "Come on! We don't bite!" Sweet Stuff laughed. "Normally not!" Fizzy added winking. And then Diana landed on her back. "That's it." she said with a wink.

So Sheila got on Twilight and Presto on Medley. Now there were only Fizzy, Gusty and Bobby and Eric left. "What's with you two?" Gusty asked. She hadn't said anything till then, because she had occupied herself with the other unicorn Uni all the time, which really seemed to like her. She even understood her!

"It seems that Uni likes you... Well, may I ride on you? Then Uni will be near you..." Bobby asked carefully. "Of course! Get on!" And so Bobby climbed on Gusty. Uni jumped in his arms and made herself comfortable in his lap. Bobby stroked Uni smiling.

"And what about you, fearless Cavalier?" Fizzy asked Eric. "Me? I, yeah, uh, I'll rather walk, than to break my neck!" he replied. "Come on. Are you afraid of horses, aren't you?" Bobby asked laughing. "Rubbish!" Eric snorted.

Fizzy lowered her head and let her horn shine. And a soap bubble came out of it. She led the bubble to Eric and caught him with it. Eric looked surprised. Then the bubble flew to her again. After the bubble with Eric inside was directly over her back, it burst so that Eric plopped on her back. Then she began to gallop abruptly. "Ah, help... Stop! I can't ride!!!!" Eric shouted and clung to Fizzy's mane. The others laughed. And sometime Fizzy stopped. Eric turned to her mad, "That wasn't kind! I could have fallen down and broken my neck!" "Why? It was funny! What a pity that Surprise isn't here. She would have found it funny, too! By the way, nobody falls down with me! Ask Molly or Danny! They finally survived it!" Fizzy giggled.

"Could we then go on now?" Hank asked. The others nodded. So the ponies set off with the Young Ones to the Timanfaya-Mountains. "Thanks a lot that you'll help us!" Megan turned to Hank. "That's a matter of course! We always help gladly, if we are needed!" he replied.
