The two ponies were garbed in tattered traveling cloaks, the shorter pony's slightly less mangled and accented with golden embroidery and swirls of velvet, while the taller one's was quite plain and practical. Days ago, all the trains had failed, and the pair was forced to walk by hoof to their destination, their dream oasis. The Crystal Empire.
"Quickjet, please can you use your scooter?" The mare whined and pointed an exasperated hoof at the small metal rocket on wheels that her companion was dragging behind him with a yellow rope.
"Darling, i told you. I need to save the fuel."
"But...we could've been there hoooours ago..."
"I know. Please bear with me. Our new home will be brilliant. Don't you want to see all those crystals?"
The female pegasus grinned broadly, her ashen purple coat standing on end and her wings fluttering slightly. Her puce mane shivered at the thought of the extravagant area.
"Of course!"
"Maybe we can even put some into your wedding dress...." The green stallion smiled nearly a foot above his bride's face,his jet-black mane falling into his face, his glasses slightly slipping off of his snout. With a nuzzle and a quick kiss, SkyeRibbon re placed them over his eyes with her own nose.
"I keep forgetting the meaning of this journy." She neighed softly. "Race you!"
And the couple laughed, running as they saw the glorious Crystal sparkling on the horizon.
