"Now we're doomed." Clover sighed quietly. "Don't worry!" Lancer yelled. "It mustn't have blown too far away!" "Give it up, Lancer." said Patch. "It's gone."
"What are we to do now?" asked Sweetheart, nudging Teddy in a worried manner. "This is really truly bad!" "At least we know our relative location." said Ace, trying to cheer up the group. "Yeah!" said Lancer in a more excited tone. "Let's go to the gorge. It's probably about a quarter mile north." He trotted up the a leading position and led the group northward.
About ten minutes later, the ponies arrived at a large gorge in the middle of the woods. Sweetheart slowly trotted to the edge of the foggy gorge, with jagged rocks at the bottom, which was hardly visible. "It sure looks deep..." she said as she looked into the stone death trap. A small pepple under her hoof rolled and soon she was tumbling down a rocky slope, sliding further and further to the jagged bottom, until she grabbed onto a weak branch jutting out. "HELP!" she cried.
"We have to help her!" cried Lancer as he pulled out his looped rope. "Let me do it!" yelled Teddy. "I am her boyfriend, after all." "If you say so..." said Lancer as he handed the rope to Teddy. "SWEETHEART! GRAB THIS!" Teddy yelled to Sweetheart as he tossed the rope down to her. The branch was quickly cracking and weakening. She stopped grabbing the branch with one hoof and tried to reach for the rope loop, and gripped it just as the branch snapped and tumbled down into the gloom and doom below.
With all of his might, Teddy pulled the love of his life up onto the safety of the ground. "Teddy, you saved me!" Sweetheart cried as she threw her arms around Teddy. "Ah, Sweets." he said quietly. "What's a guy to do when his girl's in trouble?" He gave her a quick smooch on her forehead. "Gee, I guess he really does have a good side after all. " said Patch as she shrugged. "Enough love, let's get going!" yelled Starlight. "Starlight's right." said Melody. "We really need to find our way out of here before something finds us!" With that, the ponies slowly and carefully made their way around the gorge and headed north.
