Trust Together

Two new members of the society, Gloriosa Daisy and Timber Spruce have now leaned what they do thanks to Tree Hugger and her boyfriend, Byron.

One morning, Timber Spruce was getting ready to go. "Ready to start another day at the Equestrian Society for Rare Creatures, Gloriosa?" Timber Spruce asked her older sister.

"In a minute," Gloriosa Daisy answered from her room. She was putting on a headband that she made with flowers. Timber Spruce decided to wait a while for her sister to get ready.

Soon enough, the two were on their way.

Also, at the same time, Tree Hugger and Byron had met up with each other once again. They both kissed each other before saying, "Ready to start another day together?" Then they both laughed.

"Oh look," Byron said, "Timber Spruce and Gloriosa Daisy decided to show up today." "Yes," Tree Hugger said, "Gloriosa Daisy and Timber Spruce." "We're here," Timber Spruce said.

"So what are we doing today?" Gloriosa Daisy asked. "Well," Tree Hugger said, "How about we all go someplace that we've never been to before?" "That's a good idea," Byron said, "My love."

"I'm up for it," Gloriosa Daisy said. "Then let's all get going!" Timber Spruce said. "Hey, I'm supposed to say that," Byron said. So they set off for an unknown place.

However, they came across a problem. "Uh oh," Timber Spruce said, "This looks like a mess." "A muddy mess," Gloriosa Daisy agreed. "Hmm," Byron pondered.

What they are looking at is a pond of boiling hot mud. "We'll become cooked horses if we set hoof into this," Byron said. "Don't say that," Tree Hugger said. "We need to find a way across," Byron said. Timber Spruce looked around.

Then Gloriosa Daisy spoke up. "I see something that we could use," she said. "Yes?" Byron said. "That big rock," Gloriosa Daisy said, "We could knock it down and use it to cross this mud pool."

"Good thinking," Tree Hugger said. "I think we can knock it down," Byron said, "After all, we are earth ponies." "Then let's do it!" Timber Spruce said.

Together, Gloriosa Daisy and Timber Spruce, Tree Hugger and Byron broke the base of the rock apart by kicking at it multiple times. Finally, after weakening the base, the tall rock fell across the mud pool.

"It is now an official bridge," Gloriosa Daisy said. "Yeah," Timber Spruce said, "An unstable bridge." "Then let's hurry," Byron said. The four earth ponies wasted no time in crossing the rock bridge before it broke apart and sank into the mud pool.

"We've made it," Tree Hugger said. "Talking about having fun," Byron said. "Wait a minute!" Timber Spruce said, "Gloriosa! Your headband!" "What?" Gloriosa Daisy exclaimed.

They looked back and saw that Gloriosa Daisy's headband, made from flowers has landed on a rock that is sinking into the mud pool. "I got this!" Timber Spruce shouted as he jumped onto the sinking rocks.

"Timber!" the other ponies shouted. But Timber Spruce was already jumping across the sinking rocks. In no time, he got Gloriosa Daisy's headband was getting ready to jump back.

"A big bubble!" Byron called out. Nearby, a large bubble was blowing up next to Timber Spruce. "If that thing pops," Byron said, "We'll be roasted!" "Timber Spruce!" Gloriosa Daisy cried, "Get out of there!"

This time, Timber Spruce wasted no time in jumping back to safety. He did just as the rocks sank completely. "Timber Spruce," Gloriosa Daisy said, surprised. "I got this for you," Timber Spruce said, putting the headband back onto Gloriosa Daisy, "My sister." "Oh," Gloriosa Daisy said. "Time to go!" Byron said.

All of the ponies ran away before the giant bubble burst, splattering hot mud everywhere.

"That was close," Tree Hugger said. All of the ponies panted after they got to a safe distance. "Timber Spruce," Gloriosa Daisy said, "Why did you go back to get my headband?"

"I wanted to do something for you," Timber Spruce said, "You've made it yourself, after all." "Oh," Gloriosa Daisy said, "Well, thanks, brother." Timber Spruce smiled.

"You're welcome," he said. "But next time," Byron said, "Try not to take any risks, okay?" "Deal," Timber Spruce replied. "Can we go on?" Tree Hugger asked, "We've got a lot to explore." "Right," everypony else replied. And they continued on.
