City Mare and Country Stallion (not a romance) (1x1 between Rainbow Eclipse and

[Rainbow Eclipse 3,927]

After a series of train rides longer than Scribblegroove's legs, Anala made her way through Sarsaparilla Springs. It was quite unlike any place she had been to before. It was a hot, dry sort of place, and peppers, tomatoes, grapes, and nuts were growing (Anala had nearly been tempted to nab one to taste, but she didn't want to get kicked out of town before she'd even fulfilled her purpose for coming) and the mare could see a bunch of townsfolk making their way somewhere.

 

She opened the tour guide leaflet, and her eyes fixated on a part that mentioned a river that folks liked to visit and float down for an hour or two. That must be where they were headed to. Amongst her bag of clothes, she had included her swimsuit and bikini, but she wasn't sure if she would need them.

 

Anala wiped sweat from her forehead and the base of her mane as she approached a house. Blaze's home.

 

Anala had opted not to tell Blaze she was coming because she wanted to give him a pleasant surprise (if he had nowhere for her to sleep, she could just rent a hotel room). She, Kay Dreamer, and Scribblegroove had recently been reunited in Manehattan, which none of them had been expecting. Just one more pony to go, and the list would be complete.

 

She had her bow and arrow wrapped around her waist, in case Blaze was interested in learning how to shoot. He was an Earth Pony, meaning he'd have to learn how to stand up on his rear legs.

 

'If he thinks he's riding on my back, he's had too much cider.'

 

She knocked on the door, and gazed around at the town as she awaited an answer.
