Yahoo, ride em cow pony! Our operation in Dodge Junction was a success. The dragon egg has been delivered to the Magic academy in Canterlot and Green Street is following you to Manehatten. Take care, I will join you soon.

True, the events in Dodge did not go according to plan and it seemed that all our efforts to confuse and misdirect were undone. I underestimated Green Street’s ability to out think my plan. He anticipated my trap and had arranged for his own operation. I did not suspect he had the resources to rent his own train.

The shoot out on the streets of Dodge will become the stuff of legend.

The sun blazed down.

We stared.

They stared.

Determination sizzled.

We held our ground.

They held theirs.

The dust blew.

Our boots jingled.

Their eyes squinted.

We were outnumbered.

The clock tower ticked.

Their forelegs twitched.

Cherry pies flew.

The streets ran red.

After the dust settled, and we licked our wounds, I think cherry pie would taste best with ice cream. Your inspiring friendship with the Jubilee family and their willingness to help gave us the advantage in cherry pies. That bald look on you provides that shinny slick feature that accelerates the trickle of pie filling falling off your face. Until our next meeting, Uncle Knot.
