Going For Trust

A few days later, Byron woke up to start a new day. "Oh, my!" he said, "Another day. Better meet up with Tree Hugger. Can't be late." So, Byron got himself ready and he immediately headed out the door.

"Oh, good morning, Tree Hugger," Byron replied. "Morning," Tree Hugger replied. "Nice day today, isn't it?" Byron said encouragingly. "Yes," Tree Hugger agreed. "We've known each other for about 6 years now," Byron said.

"Yes," Tree Hugger answered, "And last week, we've went out together." "Right," Byron answered, "I was thinking-" "What?" Tree Hugger asked. "It was kind of like a date," Byron said shyly, "Right?" "Of course it was a date, silly!" Tree Hugger said with a giggle in her voice.

"Yes, I know," said Byron, "You know, going through wooded areas, which is what you like to do and so do I." "Byron," Tree Hugger said, "Don't worry about it. We can go out together today. kind of like a date."

"Right," Byron agreed, "You lead the way then." "Okay," Tree Hugger replied and both ponies once again walked through the wooded areas that they know so well. "I know," said Byron.

"Know what?" Tree Hugger asked. "We do go out together," Byron said, "So that kind of counts as a date." "Yes," Tree Hugger answered, "We've always, well, not always, go out together."

"Right," Byron agreed, "When we do go out together, it is like a date for us. And by the way, I'm all right with you going out by yourself or another friend." "Like Fluttershy," Tree Hugger said.

"Yeah," Byron agreed, "She is a nice pony." "Yeah," Tree Hugger agreed, "We do things together." "Right," Byron agreed. "Go in further?" Tree Hugger asked. "Sure," Byron answered, "Lead the way."

And so Tree Hugger walked off. "And in the future," Byron said as Tree Hugger walked off further into the woods, "We'll do even more things together." And so, Byron followed his girlfriend.
