A day had passed after the Tea Rose fiasco. On our last night in Stone Whooves at the only other restaurant in town, celebrating with some local food.
The next day we walked up to the gates when Inkwell stopped us. "Excuse me, but I couldn't help but hear about what ya'll did for Rose Tea."
"Tea Rose." I corrected.
"Yeah, yeah. Any whooo I got a surprise for ya'll that ya can thank lil' miss Zebra over there for."
"Zian, what did you do?" I smirked.
"Oh, nothing much..."
Inkwell revealed a cart under a sheet. "Just a state- of - the - art cart!"
Whirlwind squeed. "Oh... my sweet Celestia!" He jumped at the carriage cart, marbling it like a colt with a new toy. Personally, I didn't know anything about carriages, but I assumed it was an incredible find in our situation. "H-haaa...! Is this really what it looks like? Real Cloudsdale craftsmanship real here! Oh, look at this set up! this is big enough to fit six, no seven, full grown horses! not ponies, horses!" His joy faded. "H-how am I going to FLY with this?"
"Specially made for light-weight air travel!" Inkwell said. "It was made for a mare bout' half your size, so even with eight buffalo it should hold ya'll in the sky like it weighed nothin!"
"It's enchanted, to put it short. Oh, and it runs on clouds, so it shouldn't be to hard for you to handle, Mr. Weather Pony." Grella added. "I was there when she picked it out. Morning Glory here has been talking non-stop about how much you'd like it, ain't that right?"
Morning Glory shifted and nodded yes, uttering the faintest. "M-m' yea..."
While Whirl Wind pranced about in pure excitement, I walked over to Inkwell. "Are you sure your okay with us using this?"
"Sure thing, the mayor insisted on it after hearing about what ya'll are doing from Lil' Miss Zebra."
"What we're doing?"
"Fer' Equestria! Going to Canterlot, finding a spell, saving us all! Ya'll come back after you save the world, an' mayor says ya' can all have some drinks on the house!" he softened his excitement. "She'd join ya'll, really she would, but on account of the current... er, conditions she can't. She can't abandon the ponies of Stone Whooves." He smirked and took the elevator up the gate. "Ya' better come back in one peice, ya' here me?!"
And so we left Stone Whooves and continued our conquests for Canterlot. This lead us to go over the strangest, most taboo places to get to our next place. The Ever Free Forest.
