For Now, Just The Two Of Us, Though Later
Several days later, after a run in with some criminals, Tree Hugger and Byron decided that it would be best if they spend their day together. Just by themselves.
They've already given Timber Spruce and Gloriosa Daisy the day off and both Byron and Tree Hugger just walked around together for most of the day. "It was a good idea to give Timber and Gloriosa a break," said Byron. "Righteous," Tree Hugger agreed, "It was!"
"That's good," said Byron, "Really good." "Yes," Tree Hugger said. The two continued to walk around until they've reached a small pond outside a forest. "Ok," said Byron, "So, Tree Hugger, what shall we plan for in the future?"
"Well," Tree Hugger answered, "I was thinking we could go to a faraway place." "Oh," said Byron, "Good idea. We'll see lots of things way outside of Canterlot and Ponyville. And beyond."
"Right," Tree Hugger said, "And if we're going to do that, we must plan ahead." "A smart move," Byron agreed, "We'll start soon. Or maybe tomorrow." "Good idea," said tree Hugger, "And Byron, "I'm glad that I've met you." "Me too," smiled Byron and the two kissed each other.
At that moment, they thought they were the only ponies around. "All right now," Byron said about 30 minutes later, "Shall we continue on together?" "Radical," Tree Hugger answered excitedly. "Now it's go time," said Byron.
The two were about to set off and that's when a blue unicorn pony whom both Tree Hugger and Byron had never met before showed up. "Oh," he said. "Uh, hi," said Byron, "A surprise."
"Surprise?" the unicorn said in response. "We weren't expecting you," said Tree Hugger, "But that's righteous anyway." "Righteous?" the unicorn repeated, "I see. You're with the environmental group." "Righteous," said Tree Hugger.
"The Equestrian Society for the preservation of Rare Creatures," Byron added. "I knew that," the unicorn said. "Yes," said Byron, "That's the name of the society." "Righteous," said Tree Hugger. The unicorn smiled.
"Oh, by the way," he said, "My name is X-Rise." "Oh," said Byron, "My name is Byron and-." "I'm Tree Hugger," Tree Hugger said, introducing herself, "Byron's girlfriend." "Right," the unicorn, named X-Rise, said, "Pleased to meet you, Byron and Tree Hugger."
"And it's radical to meet you too, X-Rise," said Tree Hugger. "What my girlfriend said," Byron added in. "Yes," said X-Rise, "Well, if you want to go to a special place, I'll help you." "Okay," said Byron, "But you did see-"
"I saw it," said X-Rise, "But don't worry. You're both in love with each other, so I'm okay with that." "Thanks," said Byron. "Now I'll help in any way I can," said X-Rise. "Thanks!" Tree Hugger and Byron said together.
