#4 of Zecoras mark

part three


With Zecora knowing the everfree forest more than me actually, we followed her to the place we took up camp.But as the three of us where walking I developed a bit of a spine chilling paranoia. But I tried the best I could to keep Howl and Zecora from seeing it. The whole time we where walking we had some hiccups along the way. But they where fun. We saw snakes, spiders (at their size I was fluffing up all over) also we saw a parasprite. Nasty little things, we where lucky they didn't catch the scent of any of our rations. After some more walking, we noticed the sky getting a tad orange. "How long have we been walking?" I asked. Howl reaches into the supplies bag he was carrying and pulled out a watch. "5:23" He said. "I know this is a long walk, but should that stop us from having a nice talk?" Zecora said. "So, you can answer any question we have?" Howl asked. "That is correct, but while asking have some respect" Meaning that we can't ask anything awkward. I spoke up "Okay, so is there any bigger threat out here besides manticorns or cockatrices?" (still find it a bit weird on how much I know, but hey whats a fan that doesn't know anything?) "Some say the manticorn is dangerous, some even say the Cokatrices peer brings fear. There is something more dangerous even if those 2 combine, but I am not sure its real because it's just a nursery rhyme." Walking a bit more we finally reach the placewe where to set up camp. "Not a moment to soon" Howl said as there was only a little orange left in the sky. But it was just enough light so we didn't have to use our flashlights yet. So we unload and start setting up some things. Howl was setting up a fire pit and a fire while Zecora was taking out chairs we had in the bag. And that left me tending to the tent. As I pull the box out of the bag, I suddenly remember that I should probably back off just a bit when I pull this cord. I give it a yank and there was a loud inflation noise as the whole thing grew from a box to a 40 foot tall tent. "wow" I said. "This is a lot bigger in real life. I went to check inside and that tent was so fancy. There was a fancy couch in the corner. (the kind that rarity falls onto when she's crying, and I really don't care if it is for small things I still can't help but feel sorry for her every time) Anyways, there was a big couch in the middle that sat 4 actually. And there was a bathtub in the room to the right with the whole bathroom works. There where even stairs leading to 2 bedrooms. One slept 2 in one room and the other slept one. As weird accusations ran through my head on why she had this bed setup the way it was, I shook it off and went back down stairs. I head back out to see everyone has done their part in getting everything setup correctly. This is going to be a pretty awesome camping experience. I just knew it was.
