Not A Minnow Of A Tail
The following day, Tree Hugger and Byron had decided to meet up with each other once again. "Good morning, Tree Hugger," said Byron. "Why good morning, Byron," Tree Hugger answered back.
Today, both Tree Hugger and Byron are going to the local forest to watch a group of rare Equestrian animals. "These animals," Tree Hugger began, "Are half caribou, half eagle. No pony has ever seen them in about 340 years." "And together," said Byron, "We'll be the first to see them."
"Right," Tree Hugger explained, "I'm sorry that Timber Spruce and Gloriosa Daisy can't join us today." "Yeah," Byron replied, "Sorry." "It's okay with them," said Tree Hugger, "We promised to tell them all about our day together." "Right," Byron agreed, "The next time we see them." The two then made up their minds.
However, nearby, trouble was lurking. There were four ponies hiding in nearby bushes. They had their eyes on the rare creatures. "You know what I'm thinking?" one asked. "Cash," another replied. "And we want it!" another one replied. "And we can get it!" the female pony said, "By poaching!" The four ponies made up their plans.
Later that day, both Tree Hugger and Byron decided to go the forest once again, to see the rare creatures of Equestria. "Are you ready?" Tree Hugger asked her boyfriend. "Why, ready, steady," Byron replied, "I mean yes. Yes I am." "Righteous!" Tree Hugger said happily, "Let's get going!" And the two arrived at their destination.
However, when they arrived at their destination, Byron noticed something suspicious. "Byron, what's wrong?" Tree Hugger asked her boyfriend. "I think it's too quiet here," Byron answered. "Yes," Tree Hugger agreed, "Just quiet?" "Well," Byron said.
But before he could say another word, a loud snapping sound occurred. "Whoa!" Byron exclaimed. Tree Hugger turned to see that Byron had activated a bear trap. "Oh dear!" Tree Hugger exclaimed, "Byron, are you all right?" "Yes!" Byron answered, "Just surprised and I knew this is what I mean it was too quiet!" "You're right, Byron," Tree Hugger replied, "This is a poachers trap!" "And if this is a poachers trap, then there are poachers nearby!"
"You got that right!" a voice shouted from a nearby bush. "What?!" Tree Hugger and Byron exclaimed together. "You are an idiot!" another voice shouted. "Why?" the first voice replied. "Show yourselves, cowards!" Byron demanded.
That's when the four ponies from earlier emerged from the bushes. "What's the idea?!" Byron demanded. Both Tree Hugger and Byron saw one female pony, one stout pony, one dumb looking pony, and one normal looking pony. "Who are you lame ponies?" Tree Huggers asked, "So uncool."
"Well," the tall female pony said, "My name is Tenderhearts. "Actually," the stout male pony said, "Her real name is Tenderhearts Opposite. And my name is Forget-Me-Not." "Ugh," the tall female pony groaned, "You always have to spoil everything, you moron." "And my name is Tiddley Winks," the stupid looking male pony said, "Who knows?" "And lastly, my name is Dandy," the normal looking male pony said. "You know what we're doing right now," said Tenderhearts Opposite.
"You're poaching, right?!" Byron asked. "Well, duh!" said Tiddley Winks. "I know for what purpose," said Byron, "And we're not going to let you have your way!" "Righteous!" Tree Hugger agreed, "We'll stop you before you hurt any creatures, you old mule!" "Grr!" Tenderhearts Opposite growled, "I'll hurt you for that!"
"No way you're touching my girlfriend, you old bag!" Byron shouted. "Over my hooves!" Tenderhearts Opposite shouted, "You're going to pay for that!" And so, the four poachers charged towards Tree Hugger and Byron.
Luckily, the four poachers are idiots and they missed Tree Hugger and Byron by inches and thus, they hit a tree. "Fighting isn't my thing," Tree Hugger said. "But I'm good at martial arts!" Byron exclaimed, "But I won't fight if you don't want to, Tree Hugger." "That's righteous!" Tree Hugger replied.
"We'll show you!" Dandy said, "Pacifist freak!" "Hey!" Byron exclaimed, "Don't you dare insult my girlfriend, you creeps!" "Oh, we'll teach you a lesson you'll never forget!" Dandy replied, but then the four poachers felt something strange.
"What do you have there, Forget-Me-Not?" Tenderhearts Opposite asked the stout pony. Forget-Me-Not pulled out a metal box that is now starting to heat up. "Oh, I bought this from some Flim Flam brothers," Forget-Me-Not explained, "They said it'll help with the poaching." "Then, what happens when this box gets too hot?" Dandy asked.
But before Forget-Me-Not could answer Dandy's question, the metal box exploded. Luckily, Tree Hugger and Byron both took shelter behind a tree. "It blows up?" Forget-Me-Not answered. "You are a moron!" Tenderhearts Opposite shouted at Forget-Me-Not. "Ok," Forget-Me-Not replied.
"Why?!" all four poachers exclaimed as they flew out of sight. Both Tree Hugger and Byron returned to their normal activity after they disabled all of the poacher's traps. Fortunately, no pony got hurt while doing so. "That was close," Byron said. "Yeah," Tree Hugger agreed, "We don't need poachers running amuck." "You've read my mind, Tree Hugger," Byron said.
And thus, the two ponies watched the rare creatures for the rest of the day. "Aren't they magnificent?" Tree Hugger asked. "Right," Byron agreed, "Half eagle, half caribou." "True," Tree Hugger agreed. The two said nothing more for the rest of the time.
Meanwhile, the four poachers had landed in a empty field. "What a ride," said Forget-Me-Not, "I want to go again!" "You are going to get smashed!" Tenderhearts Opposite shouted as she chased Forget-Me-Not around.
"Talk about going for a second time," Tiddley Winks said. "Who says so?" Dandy replied. However, they immediately came across a large known creature. "Rouge Hippogriff!" Tiddley Winks exclaimed as the hippogriff started to beat up the four criminals. "Oh no!" they all cried at once as the hippogriff tossed them around like discarded razor blades, "Why?!"
By the end of the day, both Tree Hugger and Byron returned home together. "We will tell the story," said Tree Hugger. "Right," Byron agreed, "Eh, tomorrow."
