//------------------------------// // Poker? I 'ardly Know Her // Story: Pony Jokes for Brony Folks. // by Firebirdbtops //------------------------------// Twilight Sparkle wanted to go camping, She had ever since she attended her first sleepover. She had been told that having a tree crash into her bedroom, sadly did not count. Unfortunately for her, the one time her friends got the chance to go, she was busy with an important homework assignment. To this date, the closest she had been to a real camp-out was when she had been turned to stone by a cockatrice in the Everfree Forest. One afternoon, her desire to experience a proper camping trip got the better of her and she invited all six of her closest friends. Of course, the only ones who were able to make it were Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie, but Twilight was confidant that two friends met her requirements. The three of them traveled into the Whitetail Woods, and looked for a spot to make camp while Twilight made sure that everything followed the timetable and checklist she had copied down from her camping guidebook. Soon, it came time to pitch the tents, and Twilight was having some trouble knocking the pegs into the ground. The breeze was moderate, so she decided to gamble, and only drove them halfway in before joining her friends for some camp activities. When night fell, and she returned to her sleeping area, she was dismayed to find that the tent had been knocked over by a strong gust, scattering her snacks all over the camp site. She pleaded with her friends for help."I tried my best, but the stakes were too high, the tent folded, and now my chips are gone."
