Chapter 16

Hey guys. I'm back. I finally got my computer fixed and there is no more virus. I still have my stories including this one. Now I need to get back on track. It's been a while but I'll still continue this story.

We last left Raveon and Avery, they were heading straight to Appleloosa to find Applejack's cousin Braeburn because a mysterious buffalo kidnapped another buffalo named Little Strongheart. Why? Our human turned unicorn telepath doesn't know. But they are going to find out.

Conductor: "Welcome to Apple-" (got knocked down) "Hey! Watch where you ponies are going!"

Raveon: "Sorry about that sir!"

Avery: "Very sorry! This is an emergency!"

Raveon: "Come on. Let's find Braeburn."

Just as they were about to begin their search, they stopped in their tracks as they meet a yellow stallion wearing a hat and a vest and giving them a giant creepy smile.

Braeburn: "Hey there! You must be Raveon and Avery! Welcome ta A-a-pplelooosa!"

Raveon: "And you must be Braeburn. Listen we have-"

Braeburn: "That cousin of mine! When I got a telegram from her sayin' I have to give 2 ponies a tour of the town, I said I would be glad to!"

Raveon: "Braeburn, listen to me, something terrible has happened–"

Braeburn: "Terrible is right, your train is full 9 minutes late! That's 9 minutes less for you to delight in the pleasures and wonders of... A-a-a-pplelooosa! Boggles the mind, we settler ponies built all this a long time ago! And as you can see, we have all of the finest comforts. Like horse-drawn carriages!"

Raveon: "Braeburn we need to-"

Braeburn: And those there are horse-drawn, horse-drawn carriages.

Raveon: "Listen, Braeburn, we-"

Braeburn: "This here's our local waterin' hole, the Salt Block."

Morton Saltworthy: "That's enough salt for you!"

Ol' Salt: "Can't I at least... get a glass of water?"

Braeburn: "Over there's the office of Sheriff Silverstar. And here's where we have our wild west dances! And here's where we have our mild west dances!"

Raveon: "But, Braeburn, we really need-"

Braeburn: And here's the most wonderful sight in all of... A-a-a-pplelooosa! Our apple orchard.

Raveon: "Braeburn!"

Braeburn: "First harvest should be any day now."

Raveon: "Braebu–"

Braeburn: "Good thing too!"

Raveon: "Brae–"

Braeburn: "Cause we need that grub to live on."

Raveon: "BRAEBURN!"

Braeburn: "Uh, yes, sir?"

Raveon: Damn. Applejack is right. He talks too much! "You have a very nice town and it's very nice to meet you, but we have a BIG problem!"

Avery: You see Raveon heard a noise on top of the train!"

Raveon: "I went up to see who it was."

Avery: "There were two little buffalos fighting!"

Raveon: "I tried to stop it but the crazy one beat the crap out of me!"

Avery: "And one of them was called Little Strongheart and after she was taken by the other buffalo, she told Raveon to go to Appleloosa and look for Braeburn which means you!"

Braeburn: "Did you say... Little Strongheart?"

Raveon and Avery: "Yeah."

Braeburn: "Yeah I know her. She's a very close friend of mine that I care so deeply for. And I think I know which buffalo took her. It was old friend of hers from a different tribe. Them buffalo, I guess they think that Little Strongheart and her tribe are traitors because they didn't tell us to plant our trees someplace else. You see 2 years ago Little Strongheart and I weren't always close."

Raveon: "Yeah. I think Applejack said something like that before we left."

Braeburn: "Yep. Back then they wanted us settler ponies to take every single tree you see here off this land. They sure as hay didn't want any new ones added in. But then Princess Twilight, Cousin Applejack, and their friends found a way for all of us to coexist in peace."

Avery: "So what about this other buffalo tribe. You said there was more than one right?

Braeburn: "Sure as hay I did. I guess this tribe doesn't like us settler ponies being friends with their kind. And now they a sayin' all these trees still have to go. And now they got Little Strongheart as a hostage. T'ain't fair..."

Raveon: "Damn right it's not fair."

Avery: "So what do we do Raveon?"

Raveon: "We have to save Little Strongheart. And get this other buffalo tribe to understand the meaning of a peace treaty."

Braeburn: "Tarnation you right friend! But we're gonna a need a whole lotta help. I gotta take y'all to meet the buffalo chief!"

Raveon and Avery: "Buffalo chief?"

Braeburn takes Raveon and Avery to meet the buffalo tribe leader, Chief Thunderhooves. Will they get Little Strongheart and bring peace to the town of Appleloosa? Find out in Chapter 17.
