Day 30, Obligatory Hot Springs Episode.

June 21th, 2015

Dear Journal,

Yesterday was fun as heck! That honestly felt like an obligatory hot spring episode in an anime. But who cares how "cliche" it is to do something like that at the end of the world, it was fun and that's all that matters! Besides, we deserved it.

There was a buffet inside the hotel just like we thought. We just stole "borrowed" some food from there, and honestly we goofed off like little kids a bit too. Cut us some slack, we're on vacation alright? Geez…

We were actually able to eat a semi-normal breakfast. Looks like we're not entirely herbivores after all. (Poor Alyssa still can't eat bacon though…)

It feels so good to eat pancakes after so long… I missed the taste of them… So, so delicious….

If we couldn't eat pancakes what would be the pony equivalent to them? Haycakes? God, that sounds like something Minuette would make, and like… I'm so not eating hay though.

John tried making himself a burger, I advised him not to but he didn't listen. He was extremely disappointed to learn the truth when he tried to eat it to say the least… Sorry, John… Small, alien, and weirdly colored ponies can't eat burgers…

After that we went back home. We stopped at Home Depot to get more materials for the well and anything else we needed and made another quick pitstop to get some gas on the way though. We also got some gas canisters there so we won't have to stop for gas so much on these kinda trips so much.

Once we got home me and John continued working on the well again, we've pretty much finished digging at this point so we just had to set up the pipe(s). John says we'll be done with the pipes tomorrow and after that we can start putting down the cobblestone. I'll be honest and just say John helped me with it ALOT. Seriously, I don't know what we'd do without him. He's such an honest and hard worker… He's probably thankful we went on that hot springs trip.

While we did that though, Alyssa and Minuette (plus Buddy) started working on the fence/gate. We figured we might get that down too since the well might take a while to finish. Multitasking, baby!

Alex's group contacted us again today, and you won't believe what they found on their beach trip! Another survivor! They said something about a plane crashing on the beach. I guess that's what that boom and smoke was… Alex said she's unconscious right now, but it's good news! There's more survivors out there! Maybe we'll find another survivor soon too…

He also said something about that "plane girl" being injured. That doesn't sound too good… Well, if they ever need medical supplies or anything they can just come to us!

That stuff aside though. I worked on my project again today, the roses did well without me but I feel like our "vacation" might have delayed it getting done a bit… Hopefully not…

Its coming along nicely so far, still pretty far from finished but I'm getting there!

Tried flying again too, my practicing is actually kinda paying off because today I managed to actually get off the ground! Kinda… It was more like I glided for a couple seconds than anything. Then I fell flat on my face again…

Alyssa caught me practicing and you wanna know what she did? Instead of laughing and making fun of me like I thought she would, she cheered me on. It was an honest to god cheer.

When I told how I had been practicing day after day she just looked at me blankly for a minute and said, "Wow, I didn't know about that…"

She then gave me a little smirk and put one of her hooves up in a weird way like she was trying to mimic a thumbs up. "Good luck then!" She said.

Wow… Just wow… I honestly didn't know Alyssa could be like that… It always felt like she was just teasing me about everything. Maybe that was her own weird little way of "caring."

We've grown. Both of us. We've definitely grown over the course of these 30 days… 30 days… We've really been like this for that long…

Welp, as always. This is Emile, and aside from Alex's group we're the last people on earth. Peace.

- Emile

Author's Note:

Poor John....

Emile is one of the few characters I can get away with making a "obligatory hot springs episode" joke.

But isn't Emile a girl's name?

[AlphaDidAlotOfThings]

I'm pretty sure it's a male name, I even looked it up. You might be thinking of a name like Elise instead.
