Winter Posted January 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 (I'm imagining this cart to be something like http://www.laneranch.net/images/wagon%20shoot%2012%2019%202001040.jpg, please correct me if I'm wrong here)With a grunt Storm hoisted the front of the cart up with the help of Charged Bolt. While pushing it away with him, she turned her head and called out to Felix, "Bye! Thanks again!" Once a small distance away, she lifted her pack and jingled it around a bit, the sharp sound of coins clinking together emitting. Storm lowered an eyebrow inquisitively while listening. "Hmmm... low on bits. Would you be okay with getting one last thing with me, Bolt?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winter Posted January 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 "Well... After gathering these materials so far, I realized I don't have any heavy cloths to use for straps. Do you know somewhere we could go for that? Normally I'd go to a shop in Cloudsdale, but it is getting late and by the time I get home and get this wood stored away they might all be closed." Storm grimaced in annoyance at her forgetfulness. Although this was taking longer than usual, she couldn't negate the positive effect of having some company and the higher quality of materials gathered. Perhaps the same could be said of this last material, if Charged Bolt did know of a good shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winter Posted January 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 Storm's brow furrowed in thought. "Well, there is a shop in Cloudsdale I could go to tomorrow. I'll just have to run by early in the morning. Alright, then, I guess all that's left is bringing this up." Storm eyed the cart with a look of dismay. That would not be fun to fly back home. A sigh signaled the end of her planning. "I think the best way to get this up would be to pull it as close as we can on the ground, then fly up the shortest way. You are ready to help with that, right?" She asked, continuing to pull the cart down the path that led outside of the forest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winter Posted January 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 The two hauled the cart all the way to the base of the bustling Pegasus city, Cloudsdale. The sparkling clouds resembled a bastion of relief for the duo, the heavy and creaking cart finally being near the destination. Over every bump along the way the wheels had made a small screech, protesting against the weight of the wood. Storm was of a similar mind: it took much concentration not to complain every time another small hill came into view. She had a smith's arms, but driving wasn't something she had made a habit of doing and the sheen of sweat on her feathers by the time the city was in sight was evidence of this. "Finally. Made. It," she said between breaths, grinning to her companion. She allowed the cart to rest on the ground and leaned up against it. A rest for the both of them was well deserved.

OfficialBronyTime Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 Charged groaned softly as he looked around for a good place to rest. He was sore, very sore and the trip had been long. A heavy sigh of relief escaped his lips as he found the perfect way to relax, by curling up on a patch of grass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winter Posted January 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 Storm nuzzled her head between her shoulder and the cart, trying to find comfort against the stiff embrace of the wooden wall. A sigh followed by silence gave hint that she had found the proper position. In the distance,the sun was softly brushing the top of the mountains and emitting a cacophony of hues among the clouds. The silence was abruptly broken by Storm's worried voice, "Charged, the sun is about to go down... We should get a move on soon." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OfficialBronyTime Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 Charged sighed softly, he had found a good position. He looked over at the sun, and smiled. He always loved the sunsets. Then he glances over at Storm. "5 more minutes?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winter Posted January 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 Storm giggled at him. Five more minutes of rest and enjoying the sunset sounded very inviting. "Alright, sure," she affirmed, basking in the radiance of the sunset. Surely a pretty sight after a long day of work was a wonderful day to wrap it up.

Winter Posted January 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 Storm looked quizzically towards Charged Bolt before slowly getting up from her spot. She flicked her tail before sitting down in the soft patch of grass, positioning herself to be resting on her side propped up on an elbow. She ran a claw through the grass and watched the tender plants move quickly back into their original positions. It was fresh and springy, a perfect cushion. "Wow," she said in admiration. "The sunset looks so nice from here. Usually I'm in Cloudsdale at this time, it has been forever since I've seen one from the ground." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OfficialBronyTime Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 Suddenly he shuffled up next to her and smiled. "The sunset always looks beautiful to me, and it's better with a friend." He smiled wider, and a small brown spider crawled up his leg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winter Posted January 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 Storm's head jerked back and her eyes went wide in surprise at their eight legged interloper. Although she wasn't afraid of *most* small creatures, this one did catch her off guard. She quickly regained her composure and tried to calmly make Charged Bolt aware of the invader's presence. "Er... Charged. Your leg." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OfficialBronyTime Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 "Hmm?" He asked, then looked at his leg. He smiled softly. "What's wrong? It's just a harmless spider." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winter Posted January 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 Storm gulped and stammered out a response, "No, no, nothing wrong... just, erm, thought you should know." A nervous hiccup of a laugh followed. In truth, it was a little disturbing to her. The creature would most definitely be a distraction. A small gust of air was shot from her beak towards the spider in an attempt to harmlessly blow it away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OfficialBronyTime Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 The spider was blown onto him and it crawled to the top of his head where it stood proudly, staring at the sunset. Charged smiled softly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winter Posted January 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 Storm glared at the arachnid for a moment before sighing in acceptance of the new sunset watcher. One more in the party couldn't hurt. Across from the viewers the sunset was reaching the climactic moment of half submersion behind the mountains, allowing the rays of light to bounce and refract down the hills to give them a lively hue. The warm reds and oranges were giving way to softer and cooler blues and purples as the sun dipped farther below the mountain crest. It would be dark soon, Storm knew, but she didn't want to rush things. She was tired and the sunset was pretty, she may as well finish it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OfficialBronyTime Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 Just then she heard a soft snoring sound to her side. Charged must have fell asleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winter Posted January 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 Storm's tail twitched at the sound of snoring. A quick glance at Charged Bolt confirmed that he had decided to take a nap. The hippogriff took one last longing look at the sunset, then turned back to nudge Charged Bolt awake. "Come on, we need to finish this," she reminded the sleeping pegasus, a slight whine punctuating the first part of her sentence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winter Posted January 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 "To be home in my warm bed before it gets dark, silly." She responded with a wry smirk. "Now come on, let's finish this. We've come this far and the wagon won't be moving itself." Storm eyed the cart with a slight touch of dismay. What a way to end an evening...

Winter Posted January 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 Storm winced a little, then followed Charged Bolt to the cart. "Thank you..." her voice trailed off, thinking to herself and hoping she hadn't just annoyed her friend. When she reached the load, determination defined her figure as she grabbed hold of the cart and heaved in an attempt to lift it into the air with him.
