Peregrine watched as Blitz seemed to have a myriad of thoughts running through her head, but waited patiently before at last the unicorn gave her response. "I haven't really thought about it. Maybe I will."

 

"Oh that's great!" exclaimed Peregrine as they entered the forest, slowly approaching the fruit trees. "What was your favorite subject to teach all the little fillies and colts when you were in Equestria?"

Aspen Swift was about to say something when a mare ran up to Travel Hooves.  "Can you like sand eyes remove please?"

Aspen was confused, "um, wh-"

"Sparkle, just because i know launguges don't mean I understand your gibberish, also why are you here?" Said Travel Hooves, helping her up "Are you ok?" He looks at the others. "Guys this is Sparkle Sword, my friend" He said gesturing towards Sparkle Sword. 

Ah.  That makes sense.  "Well, Mrs. Sparkle Sword, are you okay?  Hey, wait a minute...you're that pony who came here on your own boat, right?" asked Aspen

Aspen turned to Travel Hooves.  "How do y'all know each other?" he asked, accidentally letting some of his mainland Equestria accent slip out.

Just then, Aspen looked around.  "Where do you guys think Sylvia would be?"  He thought about it.

"Well, Sylvia always one for a big show, so let's just find the biggest structure and ask around."

Just then, they turned a corner to find a giant building made out of wooden boards.  It was decorated exuberantly, with flowers and bushes already moved into the yard.  "I think we found it, guys."

Night Tracer stood back and scowled; he was confused. "Who, what now?"  he thought, a bit impaired and ill-informed. He cleared his throat as he was spoken over and the topic at hand was strayed away from, "Don't mean to interject on the meet and greet," he spoke loudly, then, he turned to Ocean and Aspen, "Aren't we suppose to be heading somewhere?" 

 

He looked back and scanned the crowd of ponies, seems as if they were popping up randomly. Soon enough they'd have the whole colony in this conversation.

Travel pulls a water canteen out of his camping bag and opens it. "Sparkle open your eyes." When she did he poured the water into her eyes until all the sand washed out. "Can you see now?"

Aspen says "How did y'all meet each other?" Travel notices the accent, but decides to just keep a mental note of that rather than asking about it and embarrassing him or somthin. "We met one time when I stowed away for 3 months on her ship alone, finnaly one day I woke up and did my early morning routine but I ended up sleeping in late, I tumbled out and the first to see me was her, then the boat crashed and we got abandoned on a island inhabited once by the very first of the zebra tribes, and it was just me, her and the captin of that boat, and then we exscaped, barely."

[The Pixelated Pony 883]

"that is soooo true oh and i kinda died but came back and then possessed my old body witch kinda could still support life i guess my spirit just wanted out" Sparkle said before giving Travel a hug " thanks now i can actually sleep but i *yawn* kinda wanna help you guys out"

Sky looked up in awe at the building standing before them. He decided to ask about the strange circumstances surrounding the newly arrived mare later. "So who lives here, exactly?" He asked as he scratched his head with his hoof. "I am surprised that they have been able to build such an impressive structure so quickly.

@@Ochre_Dust,

Blitz followed Peregrine as she immediately asked more about her teaching. Ugh. I hated all subjects.

"I mostly taught math and a couple extracurricular magic courses," she said, "but for a couple years I taught language arts, too. That was a little more fun. You got to be more free with your curriculum."

[Ochre_Dust 329]

@ @Little Red

Arriving at several banana trees, Peregrine sighed. "Ah good, there's still some fruit left." She looked over to Blitz, seeing that she was bored, or maybe even annoyed at the conversation, she decided to change the subject as she took off from the ground and began ferrying a few bunches of bananas from the tree to the ground. "How long have you had Socks, your cat?"

@@Jellal Fernandes,

 

Glider stared at him. She was flattered, happy, satisfied, a little suspicious (though that emotion was cast out and shunned very quickly), but most of all, she was surprised by his comment. She had thought about it too. She was not one for love at first sight--her father and mother had ruined any good impression she had of that sort of thing--but knew that he was a stallion she really could grow to love. This was fast, though--it put pressure on her. For a moment, she didn't know what to say. "I... I don't know about love, Guy-Man," she replied honestly, looking him in the eyes. "But I think you might have something there, and there can be... something... between us..."

 

She was blushing now. She had always thought how romantic it must be, how nice everything would be if something like this ever really happened to her--but this was beyond all her hopes. She smiled. "So, let's... uh... try a relationship, then," she said, knowing she sounded awkward, but unable to think too much about it as a great bubble of happiness was bursting through her.

[Kira Dogeikage 230]

"So, let's... uh... try a relationship, then,"

 

Guy-Man's blushing became more intense, but then quickly dissipated after this remark, which he first smirked at, then started snickering a bit, and it eventually turned into laughter, "I'm sorry to laugh," he said. "I was so nervous that it would rush things to much and damage our relationship, but the way you just replied was adorable," he continued, laughing in between every few words.

"I think that Sylvia works here," said Aspen.  "And it was her that wanted to see our team when we came back." 

He turned to the large group of ponies around him.  "Thank you guys so much for walking with us back to town!" he said, smiling.  "It was really nice to meet all of you.  I guess that only Ocean, Travel Hooves, and I need to talk with her, but anyone who wants to can come in and listen.  We had a really interesting time on our journey!"  He tuned to Travel Hooves.  "You still have the map, right?"

@AspenSwift

 

"Of course i have the map!" He takes off his fez to reveal the map rolled up neatly on his head, he takes the map and puts his hat back on. "So, this is the place?" He asked as he walked up to the front door. He set all of his gear down by the side of the house and threw away his empty lunch bag in a near by garbage can.

@@AspenSwift,

 

Night Tracer turned to look at the map that Travel Hooves had, "Hey, you have a map to? Looks diffferent then mine," he inquired, "I have a sketch of the far west side of the island, if you'd like to see it that is." He bent his neck back and put his muzzled into his travel bag. He brushed around inside it for a minute, then he picked up his journal with his mouth and showed the cover of it to everyone around him. He dropped it on the ground and a small dust cloud a rose around the book. "Care to have a look?"

[That pony 32]

@louisvillepride

 

"Hmm? Oh yes i would love to see it!" Travel said excitedly. He walked over to the book and picked it up, wiping the dust off it. "My only question is why is this book so old? We've only been here for 2 weeks, i assume as soon as you got on this island you explored by yourself, and you certainly were not in the Explorer group... Er, nevermind i got off topic." He opens a book and looks at the first page of the book, it said the west side was on page 23, so he took a look at it and started comparing it to his map. "Good, good, you forgot to add a legend and you didn't add the miniature island that could hold like 3 ponys, but pretty much exscatly the same! You also drew a more accurate sketch and even marked some of the lesser landscapes i missed, you did a pretty good job!"

[macnor 5]

"I would love to come in but I am afraid I must go. I have things to attend to back at my house." He said as he spread his wings. "Oh and Travel Hooves, if you would like we could meet up and comprehensive maps because I have some of the plateau. But I will make sure I see you all later, bye." He said as he flew away.

 

He took off and set out for the plateau. He looked over the jungle as he flew and decided to land and see if he could find anything interesting quickly. He landed in a small clearing and set off in the opposite direction of the town. He noticed nothing of note as he moved slowly through the dense foliage of the jungle, until he came upon a small cave. He quickly got out his map of the area and made note of the caves location. It seemed to go back quite a ways so he decided to return later and explore.

 

He set back off for the plateau, hoping that he had truly made new friends today.

Sharp hadn't managed to reach Sylvia Lace, which left him in a rather annoyed state. a sudden rush of ponies had blocked his path, and now he was lounging in the shade of a tree with a few other ponies, all of whom had been previously working on the construction sites that now littered the landscape for at least half a mile. He looked north. The jungle carried for as far as he could see, but in the distance began to climb upwards until it faded into the mist. Now that he had some time to think, the matter wasn't all that urgent. Definitely not something to interrupt the pony in charge for. He wondered how property would be managed here. Surely they couldn't charge, for no one had any money. And what sort of government would be formed? Many questions all flew through his mind. He realized it then; he needed order, just as he had back when he was serving. And this was chaos. He decided that he would try and get some answers from anyone who seemed to be in charge. He saw Blitz and one of the other ponies that had been around, Peregrine, or something like that, walk past. They could wait till later. For now, he had to find Sylvia Lace. He stood, and cantered over to one of the resting ponies.

"Do you have any idea where I can find Sylvia lace, mate?"

"Yeah, big building over there. Politicians, huh? Her house gets built first."

"I feel you there, mate. thanks."

He left, to finally find some answers.

@louisvillepride, @macnor, @That pony,

"I would love to come in but I am afraid I must go. I have things to attend to back at my house."

Aspen nodded.  "That's okay, thanks for coming with us!"

He turned around to notice Travel Hooves and Night Tracer looking at the comparing maps.

"Huh, seems that more than a few ponies have been out exploring."

"Well, seems that we should go ahead inside." said Aspen, heading up to the wooden door.  He knocked on it with a hoof, creating a dull thud that seemed to reverberate.  Suddenly, hoof steps could be heard coming towards the door.  It opened to reveal a slender young stallion.  He looked puzzled as he got a glance at the group of ponies before him.

"Um, I'm pretty sure that Mrs. Lace doesn't have any appointments today..." he started.

Aspen turned to Ocean Moon.  "Two weeks and she's already got a personal slave," he murmured.  She snorted.

"Wait, no, Mrs. Lace definitely wanted to see us," said Ocean, "We're the expedition crew, well, some of us are...but anyway, she said she wanted to see us immediately."
The stallion's face brightened.  "Oh, you're those guys.  Huh, we thought you died, but whatever."  He stepped backwards, letting them in.  They walked down the hallway to a large room.  There was a fireplace in the corner, which was currently unlit, but no windows. Apparently, glass was hard to come by.

Close to the fireplace, Sylvia Lace sat on an overstuffed couch.  She was using her magic to levitate a book in the air.  Aspen cleared his throat.  "Uh, Sylvia?  We're back."

[That pony 32]

Travel walks back up to the door and a young stallion answers the door. ???: "Um, I'm pretty sure Mrs. Lace doesn't have any appointments today." Ocean then told him we were the expedition crew and he invited us inside. We walked into a room and saw Sylvia sitting on a big couch while reading a book.

"Nice house ya got there."

Blitz levitated up several of the bananas from the ground as they fell, floating one up to Peregrine while peeling one for herself with magic easily enough.

 

She was grateful to the change of subject, and smiled, along with the fact that the subject had turned to Socks, her adorable, lovable cat. "Ten years or so now," she said thoughtfully, "maybe more. He still acts like a little kitten, the silly rascal." She took several bites of the fruit. It was nice that they'd discovered some fruit trees-- saved them the traffic of the cooking stations, in which the better chefs were now asking for money.

@ @Little Red

"I never did have much of a thing for animals myself," said Peregrine as she took the offered banana. "I got scratched by a cat back when I was a foal. Never attached to any animals after that. Mostly I just wandered Equestria alone, offering my services to anypony who was interested for a night in a bed and a square meal."

 

With a load of her own bananas, Peregrine led the way back to camp, taking a slightly longer, circuitous route to not leave the the forest at the same spot they had entered, hopefully keeping the fruit trees preserved and private for a bit longer.

@@Ochre_Dust,

 

Blitz was privately pleased at the thought Peregrine put into traversing a different route. She was always impressed by Peregrine's subtle cleverness.

 

"I'm sorry to hear that," she said honestly. She loved animals-- especially cats. "I hope Socks doesn't intimidate you? He's really very sweet."

[Ochre_Dust 329]

@ @Little Red

Peregrine shook her head. "Don't be. And no, Socks doesn't intimidate me. I just don't feel inspired to get to know him."

 

Eventually the two of them made it back to the tent and distributed the bananas amongst the others. With a few extras to call her own, Peregrine nudged Blitz. "Come on, we'll eat the rest on the way to seeing Sylvia, okay?"

Sharp burst through the door of Sylvia's house. A pony approached him, but he was brushed aside as Sharp strode down a corridor, towards a room that had several ponies in. The 'steward' tried to stop him again.

"Please sir, I must insist that you wait-"

Sharp snapped at him, fed up of all the interruptions.

"Get out of my way, damn your eyes! I've waited long enough."

He barged into the room, and was astounded to see Aspen Swift, that pony who he had briefly met a couple of weeks ago, standing in the rather dismal and cramped room, that was mostly taken up by a large sofa. He was now rather embarrassed, and tried to play down his interruption.

"Oh, err, my apologies, and please continue, sir."
