A Plain Rock Day
Today started out simple and typical for both Maud Pie and Sedimentary in Bouldertown. As usual, they woke up at the same time, not knowing about it, of course.
After they had their breakfast, they both left their homes to meet up at the local rock park. "Morning, Sedimentary," Maud Pie said as soon as she saw Sedimentary. "Hello today," Sedimentary stammered, "Whoops, I mean hello, Maud Pie. Morning."
"Hey," Maud Pie replied, "Sedimentary." "Well," Sedimentary chuckled in embarrassment, "Today is a lovely day, that's what I mean to say." "Yes," Maud Pie agreed, "That is true." "Right as rain," Sedimentary said, "I mean it's not raining today."
"True," Maud Pie agreed, "Except over there." They looked at a place outside of town and saw a Pegasus pony rounding up a rouge rain cloud. "Sorry," the Pegasus pony called, "I'll have this thing removed in a jiffy."
"Whatever, mister," Sedimentary called back. "Never mind," said Maud Pie, "So what shall we do?" "I don't know," Sedimentary replied, "How about going out for a walk together? That's all I got on my mind." "All right," said Maud Pie, "Then let's go."
So, the two ponies walked away from Bouldertown to a small remote area. "Well, this is a small, remote area," Sedimentary chuckled. "You think it is?" Maud Pie replied. "Yes," said Sedimentary, "At least there are some rocks here."
"Well, they're small rocks," Maud Pie replied, "Probably debris from some leftover event millions of years ago." "Yeah, that may be," Sedimentary agreed, "Maybe some of these are Boulder's cousins.
"Probably," Maud Pie replied, "Who knows? Boulder does." "Right," said Sedimentary, "We'll let him talk to some of them." "Ok," said Maud Pie, placing Boulder near a group of small rocks.
"Ok," said Sedimentary, "Go right on ahead." "Yes," said Maud Pie, "Do so." So Boulder just stood there in that one spot with Maud Pie and Sedimentary watching.
About 30 minutes later… "I think Boulder had a swell time," said Sedimentary.
"True," said Maud Pie, picking up Boulder and placing the rock in her pocket, "Glad that you had fun, Boulder."
"Yes," said Sedimentary, "So, shall we move on?" "Of course," said Maud Pie, "Let's go." And thus, both ponies continued on.
