The next day, the students were waking up and getting ready for their free days of whatever activities they want to do, until Sunset started to wake up and saw Chase sleeping with his head pressed on her chest. Sunset then unzipped the bag and got out of the bag slowly without waking the sleeping child and went to get dressed.
“Chase. It’s time to wake up, darling,” a voice said. Chase slowly blinked, rubbed his eyes and softly yawned, until his blurry vision revealed Rarity in her camping clothes and placing her hands on his shoulder, “Good morning, darling. Did you sleep well?” Chase nodded, then Sunset came back and Chase got up and went to put on his clothes. Then, they all went to the dining hall for breakfast.
The menu was French toast, eggs, bacon, sausage, oatmeal, and cereal. Chase got some apple cinnamon oatmeal with brown sugar. Sunset got herself a plate full of eggs, bacon and sausage and some for her friends and Chase. After she sat down, they all enjoyed their breakfast together and decided to talk about what to do since they have permission to do whatever activities they want to do.
“I’m gonna do some baking!” Pinkie Pie said. “I was gonna do a nature walk,” Fluttershy said. “I was gonna go kayaking with Applejack,” Rainbow Dash said. “I’m probably going with Fluttershy,” Rarity said. “I was gonna play fetch with Spike,” Twilight said. “Twilight, did you bring a frisbee?!” Spike asked. “Yep, and I know you’re excited, Spike,” Twilight replied, petting her dog. “What are you gonna do, Sunset?” Applejack asked. “I was gonna...” Sunset suddenly cut herself off after looking at Chase, then thought of an idea, “I’m probably gonna play with my brother today.” Chase gasped and hugged his big sister’s belly, “You’re the best sister in the world!” Chase said happily. Sunset giggled and made a “d’awwww” reaction, then patted his head and continued, “And we’ll probably check out some cool places around here, unless if you all wanna swim in the lake later.” They all made agreeable comments.
After breakfast, everyone was starting to socialize with each other, until suddenly, Sunset held Chase on her back for a piggyback ride while running and they were both laughing. Applejack and Rainbow Dash watched them both play from the pier and made some warm smiles.
Sunset got tired and then put Chase down and they both played tag. Chase was it and he went after Sunset to tag her, but Sunset laid flat on the grass pretending to be dead, until Chase went up to her and then got made a “boo” scare and ran after Chase. Sunset tossed the frisbee over to Chase, then he threw it at Sunset to catch it. Sunset applauded and gave him a thumbs up.
Sunset and Chase ran off to the nature walk forest and then Chase walked on a log while Sunset placed har hand on her hip and shrugged her shoulders and smirked warmly. Chase then made it to the other side and climbed down from a small rock wall, until Sunset tickled him and then they both shared a quick hug and then ran back to the campsite and then went to then rolled on the grass and gazed at the clouds with some laughs.
“Ahem. Is there something I’m missing?” a voice asked. It was Gloriosa, tapping her foot and had her hands around her waist. “Oh, Gloriosa. I didn’t see you there,” Sunset said, leaning on her hip and held herself still with her hand. “Oh, the kid? Don’t worry, Chase is just being playful as usual, aren’t you Chase?” Sunset rubbed her nose against Chase’s nose, then they shared a hug. Gloriosa kneeled down and then ruffled his hair softly, “I’m glad your sister’s taking care of you. What were you two doing anyway?”
“We’re just hanging out and playing with each other. We’re also gonna go swimming in the lake, if that’s okay with you,” Sunset said. Gloriosa then nodded with a warm smile, “I think that’ll be wonderful. We have another side of the lake over there that’s for swimming only. You and Chase can go get changed if you want.” Sunset nodded and then Chase took her hand and went over to the cabin to put their swimsuits on.
After they walked out of the cabin, Sunset wore her regular swimsuit, but she didn’t have her sun skirt and gold bracelet. She also had black slide-on sandals with a little gold that covered most of her feet, and Chase wore his favorite shark swim trunks and shirt.
“Can we jump in, Sunset? Can we? Can we? Can we?” Chase asked while jumping excitedly. Sunset giggled and patted his head, “Okay, okay. We can jump in. I’ll go first and then after you jump in, swim over to me and we’ll swim together.”
“Okay!” Chase replied, until Sunset ran over the dock and jumped into the lake, then Chase jumped into the lake and swam over to Sunset as she held him in her arms arms and they both leaned in for a hug, then she placed him on her back and then they swam together, until the girls came over for a nice swim too. They all wore their swimsuits and swam over to them both to join the fun.
“Hello, darling,” Rarity said. “Hi,” Chase replied. “Chase, let’s see if you can try swimming by yourself,” Sunset said. “I can’t carry you on my back forever, so you’re gonna have to learn how to swim by yourself. Rainbow Dash, could you show him the butterfly?” Rainbow Dash nodded and then showed Chase how to swim the butterfly stroke, until Chase tried it out.
He then tried swimming back to Sunset, “Good job, buddy.” Sunset then gave him a victory hug and then he happily swam for fun, but later on, it was time to get dried off. Sunset and Chase went back to the cabin and got cleaned up, but Sunset gave Chase his bath before she took her shower. After getting cleaned up, they went to the dining hall for dinner, which was macaroni and cheese. Chase sat between Sunset and Rarity, and they all ate dinner together.
“So, girls. Any idea what we’re doing tomorrow?” Rainbow Dash asked. “Well, I was thinking about doing a nature walk together and taking a tour of the forest,” Fluttershy said. “That’s splendid, darling,” Rarity said. “But I’ll be sure to wear some insect repellent just in case.” Sunset looked down at Chase, “Hey, buddy. Tonight, we’re gonna do lanterns, so I’m gonna help you make one. Okay?” Chase nodded and then Sunset wiped the cheese off his lips, then he continued to eat his mac n’ cheese.
After dinner, everyone made their lanterns. Gloriosa appeared with Timber and they came to check out their lanterns, “Okay, let’s see your lanterns.”
Rainbow Dash made a red lantern with yellow lightning bolts, Rarity made a light blue lantern with purple diamonds, Sunset made a red lantern with a bamboo pattern, Applejack made a orange lantern with red apples, Fluttershy made a pale pink lantern with yellow butterflies, Pinkie Pie made a dark pink lantern with blue and yellow balloons, and Twilight made a purple lantern with pale yellow stars and moons.
“Great job, everyone,” Gloriosa said, until she found out that Chase made himself a blue lantern with green dinosaurs on it. “It’s adorable, sweetheart.” Chase blushed softly and then stood with Sunset. “Okay, campers. Let’s see if our lanterns can fly once more.” They all started to release their lanterns into the air and they started floating, and Chase let his float, then a tear stroke his eyes. “Don’t worry, buddy. We can always make you a new one to keep,” Sunset said, until she gave him a kiss on the cheek. “Alright, back to the cabin. Tomorrow, we’re nature hiking through the forest, so be sure to bring water,” Gloriosa said, as the campers went to the cabin to get ready for bed.
After Chase and Sunset were in their sleeping bag, Chase got a book from his bag and he showed it to Sunset, “Can you read me this?” Sunset saw Chase holding a book called “The Little Engine That Could” by Watty Piper, then she nodded, “Yeah, sure.” She then took the book from Chase and he got closer to her and leaned on the side left of her left breast and then she wrapped her arm around his shoulders and started to read him the book.
Gloriosa checked over the beds and saw everyone sleeping, except Sunset who was reading to her little brother. She smiled warmly at the two siblings and then left the room.
After Sunset finished reading the book, Chase started sleeping. She placed the book back in the bag and turned off the light and finally fell asleep, until Chase held on to her arm.
