Now What Strength?
Several hours after helping the pony, Igneous Rock out with his rock loads, Tamaron and Blaze are now taking a short break. "Helping that pony felt great," Tamaron said. "Yes," Blaze agreed, "Although t felt weird that he was just delivering rocks."
"He calls them igneous rocks," Tamaron said. "I knew that," Blaze said. "He sure had a lot to deliver," Blaze said, "I guess rocks are big business where he comes from." "True," Tamaron agreed, "Bit I wonder what his customers use them for in the first place?"
"Who knows?" Blaze answered. It turned out that most of Igneous Rock's customers use those rocks as doorstops. But other ponies found some use for them as well. "Oh well," Tamaron said.
Just then, they saw Igneous Rock leaving for his home. "Look," Tamaron said, "There he is!" "Hey," Igneous Rock said, "Thanks for helping me with the goods." "No problem," Blaze said, "We're happy to help."
"Yes," Igneous Rock said. "Well," Tamaron said, trying to think of something to say but only for Igneous Rock to interrupt her. "Thanks," he said, starting to sound aggressive, "Now I got to get back to my home and continue my own deliveries!"
"Whoa," Blaze said, "What's with the sudden change of attitude?" "I got to go now," Igneous Rock said, "See you ponies later!" With that said, Igneous Rock stormed off for his home at the Rock Farm, leaving both earth ponies surprised and aghast. "What's with that attitude?" Blaze asked.
"Maybe it's best if we don't find out," Tamaron said, "Let's just be thankful." "Right," Blaze agreed. "I think we'll stick to our path," Tamaron said, "We'll keep it with each other." "Right there," Blaze agreed.
And the two ponies decided to go on their own way. "I think we'll find happiness this way," Blaze said. The two decided to head out west.
