Sedimentary Gets It Right
The following day, Maud Pie woke up to start another day in Bouldertown. "All right, Boulder," Maud Pie said as she picked up her Pet Rock, "Let's go meet Sedimentary, okay?" Of course, Boulder didn't answer.
"Good," said Maud Pie, "Let's go." And she slowly walked outside.
Outside of where Maud Pie is staying in Bouldertown, her boyfriend, Sedimentary is waiting for her. "Be patient," Sedimentary said to himself. A lot of minutes later, Maud Pie finally walked out the door and met up with Sedimentary.
"Why hello, Maud," Sedimentary said to his girlfriend. "Morning, Sedimentary," Maud Pie said to her boyfriend. "So you like the song we've listened to yesterday?" Sedimentary asked. "Yes," Maud Pie answered, "It captured the mood of the rocks."
"I know," Sedimentary smiled. "Thanks," Maud Pie replied. "Well," Sedimentary said, "Musica Journey and Ricky are busy today, so I guess we have the whole day to ourselves." "Yes," Maud Pie agreed, "So what would you like for us to do? Boulder is with me now, just to let you know."
"Right," Sedimentary agreed, "I'd say we go out together." "Right," Maud Pie agreed. "Ready?" Sedimentary asked.
"Yes," Maud Pie answered and the two ponies walked to a small place near Bouldertown, consisting of rocks being piled up in one spot. "Well, this looks unique," Sedimentary said, trying not to say anything offensive. "Well," Maud Pie said, "Do you want to understand these rocks?" "Sure," Sedimentary answered.
"Well," Maud Pie said, jumping into a clearing in the pile, "Ready?" "All right," said Sedimentary as he followed his girlfriend, "Maybe I could try to do it too." "All right," said Maud Pie, "Go right on ahead." "Right," Sedimentary agreed and he started at one rock.
"Do you understand its story?" Maud Pie asked. "Trying to," Sedimentary replied. Then Maud Pie walked up to her boyfriend. "Something else is on your mind," Maud Pie said to Sedimentary.
"You're right," Sedimentary answered. "Here," Maud Pie said, "Try again and this time, concentrate." "You're right," Sedimentary replied and he tried again. "So?" Maud Pie asked.
"This rock has been around for millions of years," Sedimentary said, "And it's been through a lot, it was once part of the ocean floor and it has been used as an ancient pony tool." "There you go," Maud Pie said encouragingly, well, almost. "I think I got the hang of this," Sedimentary said.
"Good," Maud Pie said, "Let's go look at the stories of the others." "Right," Sedimentary said, "Like this one which had just came out of Equestria's core about a thousand years, or this one which was broken apart by ice just last month, or this one that looks like a sea snail's shell."
"That's because that is a sea snail's shell," Maud Pie said. "Whoops," Sedimentary said meekly, "Never mind, let's have some more fun here." "Right," Maud Pie agreed and that's what they've done here for the rest of the day.
Before sundown, the two ponies returned home together. "That was a fun day," Sedimentary said. "Yes," Maud Pie agreed. "Now I understand," said Sedimentary. "Right," Maud Pie agreed. "I kind of let my past get in my way," Sedimentary admitted.
"Well, you mustn't let it get to you," Maud Pie said in a comforting tone of voice, well, almost. "Thanks," Sedimentary said and the two ponies hugged each other before returning to their homes.
