Slippery Cliffs

Some hours later, both Maud Pie and Sedimentary are still walking together through the outsides of Bouldertown. "Well," said Sedimentary, "Still a plain day now?" "Not anymore," Maud Pie answered.

"What do you mean?" Sedimentary asked. "Well," Maud Pie said, "We are not on some kind of normal plains." "As we are now on a rock cliff," Sedimentary said, "Which is really high." "And these rocks have been formed millions of years ago," Maud Pie added.

"Right as rain, Maud," said Sedimentary, "You're the expert. On rocks." "Ok, thanks for the comment," Maud Pie replied with a slight chuckle. "Ok," said Sedimentary, "And you're right." "Ok," said Maud Pie.

That is when suddenly, the two earth ponies felt a slight chill in the air. "Whew!" Sedimentary exclaimed, "Strange for the summer." "Whoa," Maud Pie exclaimed, "Be careful. Boulder doesn't like ice."

"Right," said Sedimentary, "Well, it's worse for Pegasus ponies. Ok, it's equal." Just then, the two ponies saw a rock structure collapse a few feet away from them. "Ok," said Sedimentary. The two then investigate the structure.

"Just as I thought," Maud Pie exclaimed, "Ice buildup." "Right," Sedimentary agreed, "Ice breaks rocks." "Don't remind him," Maud Pie said sternly. "Sorry," Sedimentary said. "We should be careful," Maud Pie said, "The rock can be slippery, now that there are ice sheets."

"We can tell how that happened," said Sedimentary, looking down at the ground, "One missed step and we'll be sliding off into the abyss."

That's when the two ponies saw a really stupid pony named Mountain Moron wandering around. "Is this candy world?" he asked to no pony. That's when he slipped on an ice sheet and slid towards the cliff, falling 60 feet into the rocky grounds below.

"Like that pony?" Maud Pie Moron hit the ground with a thud. "To Chattanooga!" he called out.

"Yep," said Sedimentary, "Now shall we move on?" "Why yes," said Maud Pie, "It's too cold and it's too dangerous here." "Right," said Sedimentary. And so, the two ponies walked off to a much safer place.

And after 20 minutes, they did. "Well," said Sedimentary, "These not-frozen river shorelines is a much safer place." "Yes," Maud Pie agreed, "That, you are right on." "Of course, Maud," said Sedimentary.

And thus the two ponies hugged each other. The two ponies remained out on the shoreline until sundown. "We should do something like this again," Sedimentary said as he walked home with Maud Pie. "We will," Maud Pie said.
