Ragland Tiger

@Dynamo Pad "You know Bluebell Shrub?" said Princess Luna.

@Starforce Bluebell nodded, and then turned and descended into the crater, disappearing from view. About an hour later, The ground started rumbling beneath Suri's feet. A deep, booming sound, like that of a runaway train, and a huge cloud of dust, rose from the crater. After the sound and the dust abated, a hoof appeared form edge of the crater, and then, another. Bluebell pulled herself out, stood up and promptly shook off all the dust and sand covering her. "Th-th-that was a c-close one," she said.

@Dynamo Pad A short time later... Twilight's hooves pounded the ground in a full run, with her heart beating hard. She was practically frantic with worry. Spike clung to her neck to keep form bouncing off her back. "Twilight, don't panic," he said, "You know what happens when you panic!" Twilight spoke rapidly. "Panic?Me?panic?Wahtareyoutalkingabout?I'mnotpanickingWhywouldIpanic?It'sonlymyadoptedsisterbestfreindforeverinthehospitalememergencyroominpainfromwhoknowswhat!" And then, when she, Spike, and Luna arrived at the hospital entrance, she gasped to catch her breath. "Okay, okay. Let's be calm." she said trying to be dignified when she walked in and approached the front desk. Spike rolled his eyes. When the receptionist asked, "May I help you," Twilight blurted out, "BluebellshrubWhere'sBlubellshrub?" "She's very worried about Miss Bluebell," Luna said in a calm voice, "we all are."

@Dynamo Pad Happy hearts and hooves day!

@Dynamo Pad " I make my ho-ho-home in Canterlot, but I tr-travel, too," Bluebell said. "It's part-part of my j-job. I study diff-diff-different histories and c-cultures in many places in-in and out-outside of Equestria. The princesses or-ordered me to take a b-break, so I'm just hang-hanging around town, and having some f-f-fun. I di-di-didn't count on getting injured, th-though."

“Trying to get yourself out of poverty in this country is like trying to fix a scratch on your car by repainting it with a rake”

@Dynamo Pad "If-if you think you -- Whoa!" Bluebell felt herself being lifted onto Dynamo's back. She blushed, feeling a bit awkward, but knew that she was being carried by a kind and gentle pony. "S-s-s-so, are y-you from h-here?" she asked.

@Starforce "R-r-relax. We're ju-just going to-to have a look insi-inside to see if we c-c-can at least f-find a clue, and then we'll p-pull ourselves back up. It's a st-steep grade, but it has a shallow floor. I've gone d-d-down holes w-way deeper than th-this. You can st-stay up here if you want, but I p-pr-promise you, I will do every-everything in my power to k-k-keep you safe. You can count on that."

@Starforce While she listened to Suri, Bluebell walked to the edge of the crater, and tested the ground to see how firm it was. She went to her cart, and pulled out a bag with stakes inside. She started carefully placing them, and driving them into the ground. She caught Suri looking at her from the corner of her eye while she pulled two long, heavy ropes from the cart, and secured them to the stakes. She then went and got a couple of harnesses, and gave one to Suri. "H-here, put th-this on," she said. Seeing the dumbfounded look on Suri's face, she then said, "You di-didn't think I ca-ca-came all this w-way unprepared, did-did you?" She patiently explained to Suri how to properly repel. In her extensive travels, she had learned things like rock climbing cave exploring. "N-n-now, don't wo-worry. We'll go together. I'll ca-catch you in a levitation sp-sp-spell if any-anything h-h-happens. Just take your t-time." She threaded the ropes through the carbiners on the harnesses. "Let's g-get going."

@Dynamo Pad Bluebell gave him a shy smile. "M-m-my name is-is b-Bluebell Shrub. C-c-c-could you help me get to the hos-hospital emer-emergency r-room? I'm ha-having trouble putting weight on this leg. I h-h-hope it's not any-anything serious."

@Starforce "S-sweet s-s-s-Celestia!" Bluebell gasped, but then, as she stared at the crater, she had a thought that made a smile creep it's way on to her face. "If you-you wanted to hi-hide an ele-element of harmony in some b-b-barren field, where would you-you hide it?" Her eyes shifted over to Suri, and then back, and started making her way towards the massive crater. "W-w-well, are y-you coming or n-not?" she teased.

@Dynamo Pad "I th-th-think I nee-need to s-see doctor," Bluebell said, "Th-thank you both s-so much for-for helping m-me. I guess so-some gamers d-d-don't li-like mares."

"I don’t know why everyone has to be so angry. I meet lots of people and so many of them just want to live in peace with everyone. Peace out" --Bob Saget

The earth stallion turned and glared at Dynamo a moment, and then raised his hoof. But before he could follow through to strike Dynamo, he felt something grip his foreleg, keeping him from moving it. "What!? What the -," he said looking up to see that a spell had taken hold of his hoof. "D-d-d-don't you dare hurt-hurt h-h-him," he heard Bluebell's voice say. he turned to see Bluebell sitting up, her horn glowing an almost blinding blue light. "Y-y-you-you ac-accepted the st-stakes now honor th-th-them!" The earth stallion looked back at her and then relaxed his stance, and Bluebell released him. He looked back at Dynamo, and said, "You two will pay for this," and promptly stormed off. When he was out of sight, Bluebell winced in pain.

@ArbiterofFates Bluebell pulled out her note book, and started charting where they were. She then took out a map she had drawn from her lengthy research, and studied it carefully. "If-if my cal-calculations are correct, wh-wh-wh-what we're look-looking for is--" She pointed deep into the distance of the plain. "--that w-way." She could only hope that she was right.

"One minute, I'm electric sliding with the un-dead, and the next -- Ugh!"

"Alright, then. Lets do this," the stallion grunted as he approached the console.

When Bluebell caught up with Suri, she said, "Whew! Tha-that took a l-l-lot out of m-me." She drew in several deep breaths. "C-c-c-an we rest for a-a bit?"

@Dynamo Pad "M-m-m-my leg -- my l-leg, it h-h-hurts," the unicorn mare said. "M-my na-na-name is b-Bluebell. Meanwhile, the angry stallion was glaring at Dynamo. "Well!?" he groweled.

Broken crayons can still color.

@Dynamo Pad "You're on," the angry stallion said, flinging the unicorn mare aside. She landed on the floor, weeping and clutching the bruise on her foreleg. "G-g-get me out of-of h-here" She sobbed.

@Dynamo Pad The stallion glared at Dynamo. He spoke with guttural rumble in his voice. "What are you going to do about it, pip squeak?" "Ow!" Bluebell yelped as his grip on her foreleg grew tighter. Tears began to flow from her eyes.

@Starlight Bluebell didn't even realize that she could move so fast, fighting to dodge the timber wolves' teeth and claws. The wolves then surrounded her and got ready to pounce. Just as they all leapt at her, Bluebell's horn flashed and she vanished. The wolves collided with each other. Bluebell reappeared outside the tangled pile of timber wolves, and her horn launched a tremendous ball of fire at them. When it was over, all that was left of the wolves was a pile of smouldering ashes. The spell had exhausted her, but she was relieved. She retrieved her cart of supplies, and tried to continue her search.

@Dynamo Pad "This little snipe is cheating!" said the earth stallion. "Her score is too high! No pony has ever beat me at Tempest. She's passed too many levels!" "I-I-I don't eve-even know this g-g-game enough to cheat!" said the unicorn mare. "Let m-me go!"

@Dynamo Pad In a dark arcade, a small crowd gathered around to watch a bespectacled blue unicorn at the game console, racking up one of the highest scores any of them had seen. The earth stallion she was playing against looked on, and he was not happy. When the unicorn mare was done. the crowd started to applaud. She gave them a modest smile, but then her opponent jumped in, yanked her by her foreleg and shook her. "There is no way you could scored that high in Tempest without cheating," he growled. The unicorn felt his hoof dig in to her foreleg. "N-no! I di-di-didn't ch-cheat! I-I-I s-s-swear!" she said. "Pl-please, you-you're hurting me!"
