The Other One

Just like the pony said, there was another blue-footed newt. Right near a small pond. "See?" the pony said as soon as he, Tree Hugger and Byron arrived at the pond. "Yes," Tree Hugger said, seeing the other blue-footed newt, "Thank you for telling us about it."

"Yeah," Byron said, "It is a surprise to see such a rare creature in Equestria. Especially one like this." "Then I'll tell everypony about this one," the other pony said. "All right then," Tree Hugger agreed.

"Then," Byron was about to say something in response when the other pony interrupted him. "Wait," the pony said. The blue-footed newt walked up to Tree Hugger and Byron. "What's it doing?" Byron asked. "It's walking up to us," Tree Hugger answered, "Obviously."

Tree Hugger is right. The little newt walked up to both ponies. "It looks like it's sniffing the air," Byron said. "Or maybe something else," the other pony said. Then the newt walked off in the direction that the ponies had come.

"It's going," Tree Hugger said, "In the direction that we've came from." "I think," Byron said, "Somehow, it knows that there is another one like it. The one that we've seen." "Yeah," Tree Hugger agreed.

"I'll tell everypony about this," the other pony said as he ran off. At the same time, Tree Hugger and Byron watched the little newt walking in the direction of the other blue-footed newt.

For a short time until they decided to leave. "We'd better go," Byron said. "All right," Tree Hugger agreed as they both left.

Some time later that day, the two ponies, Tree Hugger and Byron are back in the forest together. They could see the blue footed newt, still walking. "It's still going," Byron said. "Yes," Tree Hugger agreed, "It's not giving up." "Hopefully, there won't be any predators," Byron said. "Yeah," Tree Hugger agreed, "Me too."

About 2 hours later, the little newt finally arrived at the place where Tree Hugger first found the other blue-footed newt. It was still there, walking around. "I think it's time," Byron said, still watching. "Yes," Tree Hugger agreed.

They continued to watch the little newt walking towards the other newt. When the other newt saw another of its kind walking towards it, it too walked towards it, until they met face to face. "What do you think they'll do now?" Byron asked.

"You know, silly," Tree Hugger answered. "All right, I see," Byron said. For a while, the two ponies still watched the two newts looking at each other. "Will they make their move?" Byron asked. "We'll soon find out," Tree Hugger replied.
