Choosing To Go On

Later, Tamaron and Blaze finally got out of the hot roads and finally retuned to a decent temperature area. "Well, this is more appropriate," said Blaze, "And cooler." "Right," Tamaron agreed, "Much cooler and better for us. Cool place. But."

"We know," said Blaze, "We can handle hot temperatures." "But too hot is dangerous," Tamaron added in. "No kidding," Blaze said, "It's okay, as Princess Celestia can't always control the sun."

Soon enough, after walking for a mile or two, they came across a small rest place. A shack in the middle of nowhere, to put it that way. "Well," said Tamaron, "This looks helpful for us." "Yeah," Blaze agreed, "How thoughtful for some pony to build a small place like this."

The two then came across a small well. "An active well," said Blaze. "Right," Tamaron agreed, as she pulled up the bucket of water. "Let's take a short break," Blaze suggested. "Right," Tamaron agreed.

And after drinking some of the water, which is safe to drink as it came from an underwater fresh spring, the two relaxed for the time. After 30 minutes at the shack, the two ponies left. Blaze and Tamaron left tips, of course and set off on their way. "Now that was refreshing," said Tamaron, "Case closed." "Yes," Blaze agreed.

And so, Blaze and Tamaron continued on their journey to their next destination.

Nearby, the four crooks, named Tenderhearts Opposite, Tiddley Winks, Forget-Me-Not, and Dandy were thinking about what to do next, and of course, an easy money making scheme. "I'm tired of this heat," Tenderhearts Opposite, "Why can't you help me, you morons?"

"How?" Tiddley Winks asked. "By keeping me cool!" "Oh, so it done," said Tiddley Winks, even though he did nothing. "How is that possible?" Forget-Me-Not asked. That is when they came across a cornfield.

"How corny," Dandy said. "What about them?" Forget-Me-Not asked. But the only thing that came to Tenderhearts Opposite's mind are dollar signs. "I have an idea," she said.
