"Yeah, I think so," Eve said, brushing the strand of forest green mane out of her eyes impatiently. "I'm a good herbalist, but she'd probably be better off if she saw a real doctor. Just in case." 

 

She thought she caught a wierd look coming from Cliff, but promptly ignored it. However, upon noticing Stacy had deigned to join them (She hadn't sooner, being busy with her work), Eve smiled widely. "Welcome to the party, Stace."

Stacy smiled at Eve and looked around. "Thanks. I accidentally fell asleep on the carriage but I'm here now." Stacy saw the glance that a stallion gave Eve and smiled. *looks like somepony is after her. I wonder if anypony is looking at me...*

Ocean chuckled. "I have met allot of Wonderbolt wannabes...most of them were nice but very very cocky." She said.

A few moments later a carriage drove up the road. "Well...its here. I will go back with Scamps and get her too her room...if you guys want." She said, taking a quick glance at the puddles of water. *I think coming to a dam was a bad idea.* She thought.

He shook himself violently, spraying water in all directions, and then sighed. "I suppose I'd better come too. I don't like the idea of her waking up alone." The handsome colt tossed his damp mane and realized that the burst of adrenaline had banished his headache. Thank Celestia for small mercies. And I am not going back just because Ocean is.

 

Cliff clambered into the carriage after Ocean. It was sort of a shame - the Hoofer Dam did look interesting, but frankly, if he went back then he might have a chance to get a proper breakfast. And maybe see about winning some of his money back at the poker tables. And talk to Scamps when she wakes up. And talk to Ocean.

 

"Hey, Eve, you coming?" He called. If all three mares came along, this might just turn into a good day after all.

Scamps eyes fluttered a bit, only slight consciousness coming back. She looked up and saw two ponies, and she was unable to recgonize either...or so she thought. She looked at Cliff, but to her, the blue and white blurred into dark blue and green, and it began too resemble a colt she once knew.

 

"Airy...?" She croaked. "You...came...back." She drifte dback out of cosciousness as her hoof reached and grabbed onto Cliff's.

 

 

(OOC: Scamps, who probably has a concusion, is seeing things. She currently believes Cliff is her old coltfriend who went missing, which is why she's holding his hoof. I'll probably have more dilusional slightly concious posts from here on out until we get to the next day in rp time.)

He jerked uncomfortably when she grabbed his hoof, and blinked in surprise down at her. After a quick glance at the ponies surrounding him, he murmured, "Yeah, I came back. It's okay, just stay still."

 

Who was Airy? An old friend, a sibling, a lover? Whoever it was, the concussed pony mistook him for Airy, and he didn't have the heart to correct her when she was nearly unconscious. The expression on his face was mingled pity and curiosity, and he couldn't help but wonder if she was going to be all right.

Ocean jumped backwards as Cliff shook himself off.

Luckily she didn't get wet and she let out another sigh of relief as she followed Cliff into the carriage.

She watched as Scamps called Cliff some other name and took his hoof.

She looked at the two of them holding hooves and she felt something in her chest...something she had never really felt before...was she...jealous ?

"Umm...so..." She said, unsure what to talk about.

[Descant 1,898]

@, @@Windy Scamper,

 

Eve looked indecisively between the two of them. Sure, going to see the dam was exciting and everything, but Scamps was her friend. Eve just wouldn't feel right letting Ocean take her without accompanying them. Yet... 

 

She looked bemused at Scamps's... delusion, and could do nothing but nod approvingly at Cliff's response. She trotted over to Scamps, and kindly said, "I'm going to need you to drink this, okay, Scamps?" She gently pressed Ocean's painkiller potion into Scamps' hooves, hoping the mare would take the medicine. She didn't look like she was doing very well.

[. eris . 1,661]

Cliff smiled at Ocean and winked. "I guess somepony hit her head a little harder than I thought," He said lowly. "This is normal, right?" He asked Eve, raising his eyebrows. For an unconscious pony, she had a hay of a tight grip on his hoof. "I mean, the whole delusion thing. I've seen loopy stuff after I hit my head but nothing like this."

 

He glanced out the window. "Shame about the dam though. I would've loved to do a flyover, see what it looked like from above." He didn't mention that the urge to fling himself over the rail and see how steep of a dive he could pull himself out of had also occurred to him. Some ponies did have standards.

The tour guide had finally came over to them, looking a bit concerned. The mare was dressed in that type of outfit that a stewardess would wear, and her sparking aquamarine eyes clashed horribly with it. Her coat was a soft loamy look, her hair black as night. Her voice was soft, but forceful enough to break through any conversation.

 

"Excuse me. Is there a problem here?", she kindly asked.

[Windy Scamper 403]

Scamps quickly took the medicine before drifting off to sleep again, her vision still blurred and askew. For all she cared, a pink elephant just gave her medicine. But one thing was for sure; she wasn't letting go of Airy. Ever again. Her eyes fluttered until they closed, as somepony else came in.

Ocean smiled and nodded as the carriage began to move. "That would be amazing...I suppose that would be the kind of situation where it would be really cool to fly." She said, smiling.

She couldn't help but glance down at their hooves...Scamps was still holding on tight...and Ocean didn't feel any better about it.

"So...where are you from, Cliff ?" She asked, wanting to get to know him a little better.

[Descant 1,898]

 

"Excuse me. Is there a problem here?",

 

 

Since nopony else seemed bothered to talk to this mare, who was obviously an employee somewhere or else, Evergreen took up the charge. 

 

"Yes, there is," Eve said, her voice soft, yet firm, much like the Stewardess's. "My friend there managed to bonk herself in the head pretty hard. I think she has a concussion. She didn't seem to know where she was when she came to..." As she spoke, she pointed to where Scamps was laying.

She didn't appear to be letting go of his hoof anytime soon. Eve was outside dealing with a filly in a uniform, and the two of them were alone in the carriage with an unconscious Scamps between them. She mumbled something incoherently and tightened the grip she had on his hoof.

 

"Oh, from Cloudsdale," He said with a smile. "Best flying capitol of the world. What about you, where're you from? Someplace sunny, I hope." Cliff winked at her.

[Miss Light Diamond 2,802]

@,

 

Ocean shook her head. "Quite the opposite i'm afraid...i'm from Trottingham. Its cold and wet and rainy and the ponies there are all rude and stuck up." She said, looking down at her hooves.

"But lets not talk about that...how is Cloudsdale ? I have always wanted to go get a good look at how they make the snowflakes. And the clouds...even though I already know how they do it...I have actually made a cloud once. It wasn't very big but it was still pretty cool." She smiled.

He had never been to Trottingham, so he would just have to take her word for it. Although one of his friends had revealed to him that while the fillies there were outrageously pretty, they were also unbelievably high maintenance. It didn't look like Ocean was one of them, however. "

 

"You can make a cloud?" He asked. "That's pretty impressive. My sister's best friend, Flitter, she's on the weather patrol, so she knows all about the seasons. You could probably make a snowflake too, except it's a lot colder up in the clouds then it is down in Equestria, and they would probably melt. But it takes a lot of precision and care to make them stay. An all of them have to me hoof-made, completely unique every time."

 

Cliff coughed uncomfortably as Scamps mumbled again in her sleep. "I'll have to show you sometime. There's probably a weather patrol here in Las Haygus, so there's gotta be some factories around here."

Ocean nodded. "I don't think I could make a snow flake...I would love to see how they're made but I get cold quite easily...even if its just a couple snow flakes." She said.

 

She quietly listened to him speak and she smiled when he finished. "That would be so cool. I wonder if there's a factory by the hotel." She said, as the carriage went over a slightly large bump.

"I'm not so sure," Eve murmured, back alongside the others now. "Look at the terrain. There's no foliage anywhere. No wildlife. It's too empty. All desert." She blinked a bit of sand out of her eyes. "If there is a weather patrol here, it doesn't do its job."

 

She looked disdainfully around the desolate place, wishing for not the first time that she had stayed in her garden instead of coming to this... Las Haygas.

"You'd be surprised," Cliff said, sounding uncannily serious for once, although there was a smile on his face, "A lot goes into maintaining that dirt and scrub. Unless they get the right zoning, there's not much they can do in terms of shaping the landscape. That's the job of the Earth Ponies, unfortunately. And we'd need actual seeds to be planted in order to make them grow. Plus, it might not have anything to do with the weather. It could just be unfertile land."

 

He blinked, almost startled at his sudden display of politics, and then laughed. "And anyway, my guess is they have a park or someplace where they grow plants. Can't be just a concrete jungle, that's Canterlot's job."

 

Cliff flicked his tail at Ocean teasingly. "And besides, if we go up in the clouds, it's pretty damp. You were kinda skittish back there with the water - can you swim?" The image of a dripping wet Ocean wasn't exactly a bad thing in his mind.

"Oh dear... I'll have a nurse here in just a second.", the guide said, as she pulled out a small walkie talkie from her bag.

 

"Nurse to the loading deck. Mare hurt, possible concussion. Repeat, nurse to the loading deck."

 

She turned back to Eve. "Our nurse shall be back here in a few minutes."

Ocean knew that this would probably be brought up. She thought for a moment before answering. "Uh...I don't...I mean...I do...but rarely." She lied. She was rather good at lying considering she had to do it pretty much every time anypony said the word "Water"

Scamps body jumped up as the carriage hit a bump. She seemed to be falling, stuck in an endles sblack hole. Only one feeling could be felt, and it was slight. But the feeling of Airy's hoof was the only thing holding her in the real world. Her hoof began to slip as they hit the bump and her body flew up a bit, and she squeezed his hoof, hoping to hold onto that feeling.

Eve felt the need to respond that even Canterlot had more gardens than this desolate place, but seemed to decide against it, opting to look out the window at the sandy, rock-strewn ground. True, not many plants were able to grow in places like this, but even Saddle Arabia had wildlife and foliage. Unlike here.

 

It was so quiet here, where there was not even grass to rustle in the wind.

"Um.. I've never been to Las Haygas. Maybe we could... explore the hotel? I've only seen the lobby and my room." That was the most words Para had said in a long time. She hoped that Percuss wasn't mad at her for making them miss the carriage to the dam. What if he was? What if he got angry and... no. She had to stop thinking like that. That was the reason she was so scared of everything. She forced a smile.
