The Search

[Strong Hooves 289]

"It's alright" said Strong chuckling. He helped her pack up and soon they were walking once more. He was rather curious as to why she was right next to him when he woke, but didn't ask. He soon saw a caravan of ponies up ahead heading in their direction, "Heh, looks like more company" he said.

"I hope by 'company' you mean normal everyday ponies, and not ponies like Big Red from yesterday." Ali joked. "But it's good timing that we run into a caravan today, I need some supplies."

The caravan were normal ponies, and were more than eager to sell whatever supplies Ali needed. They did however cast wary glances at Strong, unnerved by his size. He didn't seem to notice it though.

(you should make one of the merchants recognize Ali xD)

Ali finished up buying her supplies, and soon both the caravan and the duo were off on their separate ways.

 

((Nah, i'm saving that for later))

[Strong Hooves 289]

As they walked, Strong decided to make conversation, "So, how do you plan on locating your parents? Do you have a plan as to how to find out where they've been?"

[Parties like Pinkie 385]

"Yep, just go anywhere and everywhere. Not much else to it, I suppose."

 

((i'm going to take a shower real quick, brb))

[Strong Hooves 289]

"Simple enough. Do you know their names?"

[Parties like Pinkie 385]

"No, sadly. There wasn't even a note with me when the caravan found me. But when I finally get near them, I'll know."

[Strong Hooves 289]

Strong nodded, and dropped the subject, they traveled in silence for a while.

(you can do the time skip this time)

[Parties like Pinkie 385]

They traveled along for a couple days, stopping for the nights and once for a thunderstorm. Eventually they saw a town on the horizon.

 

"Another town, great!" Ali said, quickening her pace a little "Come on, slowpoke!"

 

 

((I'm not good with town names, so you do it))

[Strong Hooves 289]

Strong picked up his pace, "now now just because you beat me doesn't justify you to call me names" he said, but laughed to show he was joking. They entered the town under a large sign that read 'Welcome to Mane"

[Parties like Pinkie 385]

"Mane huh? Seems a little... quaint."

[Strong Hooves 289]

Strong agreed, but as quaint a name as it was the town was bustling. Ponies from left and right hurried about their business, hardly paying any mind to the two newcomers. Strong walked with Ali into the busy town, "Guess we should start searching huh?" he said to her.

[Parties like Pinkie 385]

"Yes, or, since this town is so bustling, we could just find the center of town, and watch the ponies that come and go." reasoned Ali. "If they're here, then we're bound to see them that way, plus we won't use that much energy in the search."

[Strong Hooves 289]

"Sounds good" replied Strong. They both headed to the center of the town, which was a small park where many ponies walked by. They found a park bench and sat down. While they sat, they could hear snickering, and to the side of them, a group of stallions walked near them, laughing while one of them called out "Sup Blank Flank, Sup giant, never seen you two before" the other ponies with him burst out in laughter.

[Parties like Pinkie 385]

"Why is it that every nice town has to have a couple of moronic buffoons to disturb the peace?" Ali goaded. "I mean, really, it's a sad, sad day when three stallions, who could be doing something productive, have to belittle two ponies just to make themselves feel all big and strong."

 

She smirked as she said this, watching their reactions.

[Strong Hooves 289]

The lead Stallion raised an eyebrow, "Oh you're a funny little bitch ain't ya? Who are you to call me unproductive? At least I have my cutiemark, you sorry excuse for a pony". At this point Strong began to get mad, he stood over the three, "Why don't you three take your smartass comments and leave before I make you leave?"

Ali rolled her eyes, stood up, and whispered in Strong's ear "Keep them distracted"

 

She then spread her wings, and took off into the air, circling overhead, waiting for the right moment.

 

((You put String instead of Strong in the second line of that last post))

[Strong Hooves 289]

(I changed it)

Strong nodded as she took off. The lead pony snickered, "Heh, she off to go cry somewhere?" he sneered, "Nah" replied Strong, "She just don't deal with garbage like you" this got an angry glare from the three, he had their attention.

[Parties like Pinkie 385]

Circling overhead, Ali waited for just the right opportunity. In order for this to work, they needed to be in a straight line, or as close to one as possible.

 

As the trio of troublemakers were talking back to Strong, she saw her chance.

 

Quickly diving down, aiming for the middle of the group, Ali silently hoped that Strong wouldn't disrupt their order.

[Strong Hooves 289]

"Like I said, she doesnt deal with garbage. She takes it out" said Strong, the three gave him an angry and confused look, but didn't move from their position.

[Parties like Pinkie 385]

Still in her semi-perpetual dive, Ali neared in on her target destination: the back of the middle stallion's head.

 

All she needed was a little bit more time to complete her task at hand.

[Strong Hooves 289]

"Oh yeah? And how does she plan on doin that?" retorted the middle stallion. Strong chuckled, you'll find out. Quick question, does your insurance cover bodily injuries?" this garnered more confusion from the three

[Parties like Pinkie 385]

(( you forgot the " before "you'll" in the first line.))

 

 

".... cover bodily injuries?" Was the only thing Ali was in earshot of, before her bomb-dive landed right on the head of the middle stallion, knocking him out instantly.

 

For a split second after collision, Ali halted her movement, giving time for the other two to turn their heads inward. She then spread her back legs apart with a mighty force, whacking both the others in the face.

 

One went down for the count, the other merely stumbled.

 

Regaining his composure, the last stallion charged at Ali, who just merely side-stepped, sticking her leg out, tripping him.

 

While he was on the ground, Ali walked over, and knocked him right in the temple.

 

With all three stallions unconscious, she turned to Strong, saying "I think we should head out, for now?"

[Strong Hooves 289]

Strong nodded and they both headed off. He nudged her playfully and said "Those were some pretty sweet moves back there" he told her.
