"Alright! Lets go then" Pelate trots away with the two and goes to the lodge "the lodge has 3 floors, first is the canteen, second Is the snack bar, and third is for the staff only." Pelate explains and moves towards a building similar to the lodge but smaller and more squared. "This is the gym, and there is a floor below it that has lockers, but you don't use them a lot. We have gym before lunch time, it gets pretty tiring after a while because its not easy really." He said with a bit of a shrug at the end. Then Pelate looks at a trail moving away from the main trail. "Lets go that way towards the cabins." Pelate trots down the trail and looks at the trail to the left "here are the cabins, you know what there for.., right?" Pelate teased, then moved on then approached a field "here's the field for when you want to play any games with friends or whatever you want pretty much." Pelate stops to let them rest. (He didn't really go that fast btw)

Wish watched curiously as Pelate led the two other ponies away to show them around. 'I'll have a look around on my own later.' She thought to herself as she splashed about happily in the clear water - swimming about on her back and enjoying how the sun felt on her coat.
 
Finding a shallower section she sat down, half-submerged, and took a brief break from swimming herself: Parso wasn't wrong - swimming was tiring!

"get worn out too?"

Parso said with a smile then went for a conversation starter

"so, where are you from, Wish? you don't look much the city type, so someplace rural"

Parso waited for an answer and hoped his assumptions were accurate enough not to offend her

Since nopony was talking to Blazing, he simply said, "I'll be back..." After that, he left the cabin. "Maybe I'm gonna have to be out a little sooner than I thought..." He said to himself. He didn't really care about the others anyway, he really just wanted to be alone. He walked around until he found a good place to be away from everypony else, then sat there, hoping nopony would bother him.

"Just a little, I'm okay!" She smiled and nodded in response. "Yeah I grew up from a farm near Trottingham - I've never really been big on cities and stuff."
 
Looking back up at the top of the waterfall, and then around at the rest of the landscape, she continued. "This is more my sort of place. What about you?"

"I'm from all the way down to Sydneigh, that explains me accent. I'm not really used to the 'Equestrian Forest' landscape. down by Sydneigh, we have bushland, mostly made up of gum trees"

Parso looked around the area and then realised something

"where'd Ceres go?"

"Oh, you must have traveled a lot then?" Wish said in a slightly excited tone before looking about again and becoming aware of her missing friend.
 
"Huh, I don't know... Maybe she went to talk to Pelate or something? I wonder what all that was about: she's really nice from what I've seen."

"Thank you for all your help so far Pelate, but surely this can't be all of the camp, is it"? Monkshood questioned with a perplexed voice, as he noticed Pelate begin to slow down.

 

He looked around disappointed with the well maintained sculpted look of the camp grounds. "Regardless of what my expectations for this camp were, I should make certain that he knows how much I appreciate his services". Monkshood thought whilst trying to hide his discouragement.

 

"Ah Pelate, I would like to give you a gift as a show of my appreciation for all of your help afterwards. If you don't mind, of course". He stated in a more audacious manner.

He says with a shrug (Pelates extremely modest all the time btw) then without letting him respond he blurts out "well lets not sit here too long dinner should be soon. Lets hurry, there's a couple more places to see. C'mon guys"

Pelate shows a couple more areas such as a lake for swimming, a building with mountain climbing gear and such, and a stream.Then stops at the waterfall "that's all, and I need to remind you every trail is intertwined. So if you get lost, it shouldn't be hard to get back to the main trail." Pelate said in a friendly tone "hope this was useful to you guys."

"only a bit of travlin' gettin' to Equestria. after a...series..of events, I can't go back"

Parso thought for a bit

"if she went with Pelate, she must've been pretty quick, I didn't see her go"

after looking around a little, he noticed sompony's silhouette from the other side of the waterfall

"I might have an idea where she is"

standing up and trotting to the waterfall, he quickly walked through it, only getting a small shower

"there y'are Ceres, we were jus' lookin' for you"

"Oh indeed, I'm rather impressed with how expansive this camp is". Monkshood remarked as he responded to Pelate's earlier question.

Glancing around he notices that the group has circled the camp, and begins to point over to small patch of trees. With a twinge of enthusiasm, he asks both Roy and Pelate. "If neither of you are in a hurry, I would like to talk a little bit more with both of you. We have talked only about the camp, and nothing about ourselves. Come on, that patch of trees over there looks like a nice place to relax".

Ceres snapped out of her thoughts, Parso was now close-by and addressing her.  The new ponies had gone off with Pelate and Monkshood, leaving only herself, Parso, and Wish at the pond.  Ceres shook her head, re-adjusting her position on the rock.  "Oh, hey Parso.  Wish."

 

Ceres' mind was still in recovery from her analysis of the situation.  Going into deep thought always brought her into an almost meditative state and thus disconnected her from her surroundings to an extent.  Ceres smiled, "So I don't know about you two, but I'm getting hungry.  Why don't we go get something to eat at the mess-hall?"

Then one of the staff rings a loud bell, then a voice sounds on the intercom "dinner time every pony, please report to the mess hall!"

 

Pelate:

"Oh it looks like its dinner time, the meals here are actually pretty good, do you want to go in and find a seat?" Pelate offers to Roy and Monkshood.

"Okay... I'll go eat first, and then I'm gone..." Blazing said. He walked towards the mess hall, not caring about what was going to happen while he was there. The sooner I'm done there, the sooner I can get the hell out of here. He thought. He wasn't sure if he was actually going to be able to leave, but he had to try.

As if on cue, Wish's stomach rumbled ever so slightly, eliciting a slight blush and sheepish grin.

 

"Yeah, I guess I am pretty hungry actually." She nodded, making to follow whichever of the other two decided to take the lead the lead back to get something to eat.

 

"You okay back here Ceres? I thought you might have gotten bored of us all and wandered off or something."

Ceres smiled and winked at Wish, "As if I could ever get tired of you."

 

Hopping up and shaking herself off, Ceres smiled and said, "Alright everypony.  Lets go get some chow!"

Ceres started of towards the mess-hall in search of food to satisfy her hunger.  Ceres eventually made it to the mess-hall and grabbed her plate of food and sat down, waiting for her companions to join her.  Looking around, Ceres wondered if Monkshood would be in the mess-hall.  'I did invite him, but maybe he's off with other ponies right now?  Not that it matters, worst comes to worst I'll just nab him when I see him next.'

"Yes, that sounds rather enjoyable. I don't think I've gone this long without eating before". Monkshood said with a restrained laugh. This of course was a mere fabrication. On his travels, he had found times when the plants around him sickly, or during dry spells that there was little to eat. Either way, he always enjoyed a well prepared meal, instead of his usual diet of roots and wild plants he often scrounged together to stave off hunger.

 

Continuing on without pause Monkshood stated. "Though, I would still like to get to know each of you a little better. I hope you don't think that a dinner bell nullifies my previous request".

Pelate slbegan thinking "we can talk at dinner, in the cabin, on the trails, etcetera." Pelate explained with cheer "we have all the time in the world to get to know each other...*gasp*" Pelate suddenly had a mindblowing idea. "How about we get More ponies to come to that spot and talk, it'll be so much fun!" The blue maned stallion jumped in excitement "lights out isn't until 10 at night, we can go there at like eight when its dark and stuff eh? And well invite almost every pony. Sound like a good idea?" Pelate suggested.

 

(This is after your response nomadic)

Pelate sits at a table and saves a spot for Monkshood. "how about we sit here." He said in his normal tone of voice.

"I don't know". Monkshood told Pelate, with a strong sense of discomfort within his voice. As he continued walking forward, he began to reflect upon the fact, that he had never felt comfortable within large groups, and often feeling like nothing more than a mere triviality. 

 

Entering the building, Monkshood began to look around as it had appeared he had lost sight of his companions. Glancing around frantically, he hears a friendly voice echo through the still relatively empty mess hall, and notices that Pelate has saved a spot for him at a table. Trotting over to the table Monskhood thinks. "It's rather funny, it not often that I see a pony who is so willing to trust a perfect stranger. This camp has already been more refreshing to me than I had anticipated".

'She's so nice!' Wish thought after spending a moment to realise that Ceres had been referring to her and returning her smile.

 

Taking a plate of food, she sat with the other two and started to eat.

 

"Wonder where the others are?" She thought aloud before shrugging and returning her her food. "You two got any plans for after we finish eating?"

'There it is again...'  Ceres took note of Wish's hesitation, but decided against pressing the issue.  It was becoming more and more obvious, but there was no need to test fate at this point.  As Wish finished her tale, Ceres giggled and nudged Wish gently.  "Oh, don't fret Wish!  Your cutie mark is adorable!"

 

Ceres smiled at Parso, "Indeed.  Your cutie mark does seem to be a bit self-explanatory doesn't it?"

 

Her smile grew into a grin as she recounted her own tale.  "Mine is a bit more... abstract.  This equal armed cross inside of a circle represents all of earth, everything that you can touch and feel with your five senses.  I've applied it to making my babies though, I remember the first child I made like it was yesterday... such a troublesome child.  Born of a cabbage and a venus-fly trap with a few other things added in, the pony-eating cabbage.  He ended up getting me some forced vacation back then as well, having chewed a bit of the directer's tail off, and since then I've been confined to my more... eccentric experiments to my greenhouse."

 

Ceres had dozed off as she talked about her first creation, smiling and staring off into the distance.  She came to her senses and realized that not everpony shared her love for abstract nature and added in a sweet and soothing voice, "But don't get me wrong!  My sweet little Kraig wouldn't hurt anypony badly.  He just likes to play around is all."
