The journey to the treehouse of Harmony and back would take them approximately two to three and a half hours. They made sure to carry the essentials. A bottle of water for each of them, six tangerines, four avocados, a big bowl of garden salad, cucumber sandwiches and a jar full of gems for Garble.
"Alright, is every creature ready?" Gloria asked the others with enthusiasm as they replied with the same tone but saluting as if she was a troop leader.
"MA'AM YES MA'AM!" They all replied. Garble sighed in delight as his crush acted like the troop leader she was.
"So graceful, so beautiful." Garble said in a whisper so no creature could hear him but little did he know two of the smartest creatures heard him very clearly. Honey and Gemluck looked at each other then at Garble then Gloria and it went on for a long time till they were snapped out of their trance by Gloria's shouting at them.
"PRIVATE HONEY SUCKLE, PRIVATE GEMLUCK!"
"Ma'am yes ma'am!" They both said in sync but not before they shook their heads to clear them.
"WHAT ARE YOU STARING AT?!"
"N-n-nothing ma'am." Gemluck said in fear as he and Honey looked at each other trying to find an excuse.
"Ugh! Gloria let's just get going." Fern said irritated.
"Fine fine. We'll go." Gloria said going back to her normal bubbly self.
"I still don't think this is a good idea." Melody said concerned as they all went through the front door of the school.
"And where do you six think you're going?" A voice asked them from behind. Garble quickly recognized the voice as he turned around with a smile on his face.
"Hey sis. We were just going to the Everfree forest."
"Hey Gar Gar. Why are you going to the Everfree?" Smolder asked.
"You remember that treehouse you told me about?"
"Yeah?"
"Well we're going there right now." He said. Smolder glanced at them as if they were suspicious of a murder.
"Oh now we're in trouble." Melody whispered to Fern.
Finally, her glare softened. "Okay you guys can go to the treehouse." Smolder said as she turned to go to the teachers lounge.
"Wow, I really thought we were toast back there." Melody said Fern as she nodded.
"Well guys, let's get going." Garble said as he ushered them to follow him.
"How do you know the way to the treehouse?" Fern asked looking at Garble.
"Well Smolder told me the way to the treehouse," Garble said, "and I'm pretty sure that Gemluck was told by Ocellus."
"Well, that is true. Ocellus did tell me." Gemluck said proving Garble's theory to be correct.
They started their journey to the Everfree forest. About half way there, Gemluck pulled his marefriend aside from the others.
"What Gemmy?" Honey asked clearly seeing Gemluck's smirk.
"Well, I've been observing Garble and what we were thinking earlier is true. Garble does have a crush on Gloria." Gemluck said with an excited look on his face.
"Wait, hold up," Honey said holding a hoof out, "So you're saying that Garble has a crush on Gloria?"
"Yep. And you saw how Garble was looking at Gloria when she was commanding us and you heard what Garble said and did you realize that he's been blushing anytime Gloria talks to him."
"Well, I did realize that," Honey said clearly familiar with everything her coltfriend had said, "It's just that...Gloria also has a crush on Garble."
"WHAT!" Gemluck said surprised but not long his surprised look turned to a devious smile. "How about we set them up?"
"That is a good idea but what if what we wanna do to set them up goes wrong?" Honey asked anxiously awaiting a stupid reasoning from Gemluck.
"Well, Gloria is your best friend and has been ever since you both met." Gemluck told Honey Suckle.
"Well, yeah. Where are you going with this?" Honey asked eyeing her coltfriend suspiciously.
"And Garble is my best friend, and we both know we would do anything for a friend. It was on Professor Dash's special visiting lesson." Gemluck added. Every former teacher had one of those, even Princess Twilight.
"Well...yeah but... but... but" Honey couldn't find a reason to disagree.
"Fine. What do you propose we should do?"
"How about we set them up for a date?" Gemluck said as he lifted an eyebrow at Honey awaiting for a reason why he's idea wouldn't work. That was his Honey. Nitpicky as always. That's one of the reasons he liked her.
"I've heard stupid plans from you Gemmy," Honey started, "but this is actually one of your best ideas yet. You're right. We should set them up." She finished by giving h a peck on the lips which made them both blush.
"I know how awesome my plan is. But how do we get there before them? We have lagged behind." Gemluck said stating the obvious.
"We could always teleport you know. I was one of Princess Twilight's best students." Honey said clearly bragging.
"That could work. Now just picture what the treehouse of Harmony would look like then teleport." Gemluck said making Honey irritated.
"I know how to teleport Gemmy. Now could you please let me concentrate." Honey yelled but as soon as she realized what she did, she immediately apologized.
"I am so sorry Gemmy. I didn't mean to tell." Honey quickly apologized for yelling at her coltfriend.
"It's okay Honey. I know you have anger issues." Gemluck said hugging Honey which she quickly reciprocated.
"Now let's get our best friends together." Honey said. Her horn glowed a lime green aura as she pictured the place she wanted to teleport to and how many ponies she wanted to teleport and who. The green aura surrounded Honey and Gemluck as they disappeared from where they were standing.
In front of the castle of the two sisters.
A green light appeared in front of the castle of the two sisters and suddenly two creatures, a changeling and a pony, ppappeared.
"Okay. We are here." Gemluck said as he looked at Honey who was obviously exhausted.
"How... Far... Was... The treehouse... I don't... Think... I was ever... Tired... From tele... porting." Honey said panting, gasping and wheezing for air. She was down on the ground too tired to stand.
"Where is this treehouse? We need to set up before they come." Gemluck said looking around for a crystal treehouse before he saw something that looked like crystal leaves.
"Bingo." He said before going down signalling his marefriend to follow him.
