What could posibley go wrong?

Crystal was helping her mom make dinner when her mom ran out of her favorite spice. "Crystal can you run to the market and get more?"

"Sure mommy!" She said joyfuly. As she left she thought what would be beter then fresh spices? So she decided to go to the everfree forest to find the blue flower herself. Packing a bag she snuck out the door and as she stared at the path into the woods she thought to herself: What could posibly go wrong anyways?

Leaf Gardens walked into the Everfree Forest. She knew that the forest was extremely dangerous, but she needed to be here; as a gardener she occasionally had to travel to the forest to pick certain flowers in order to get their seeds so she could plant more. She'd done this a couple times, but she was scared nevertheless.

After some time, she had found it and was on her way back when she saw a little filly looking at the path as if she wanted to go into the forest. Leafy walked up to the filly and said, "I'm guessing you're about to go into the forest. If you are, I suggest you be careful, or better yet, don't go at all."

"I'm guessing you're about to go into the forest. If you are, I suggest you be careful, or better yet, don't go at all."

Crysal turned around at the sound of the voice. "Oh... Hi. Im Crystal and i have to go in. Im looking for some fresh spices. The flower only grows here and the shops don't cary it fresh." Looking at the mare she now noticed the mare was packed to go in the forest too. "Can I... mabey stay with you until I find the plant im looking for... if you don't mind?"

Leafy looked back at the forest. It would probably be dangerous if she went back in there again. She looked back at the helpless filly. The filly would probably die if she went in there alone. Having an adult there would increase her chances of living. Finally, Leafy sighed. "Fine." she said. "By the way, my name is Leaf Gardens. Call me Leafy." She turned around and headed back into the forest, still taking caution from dangerous creatures.

"By the way, my name is Leaf Gardens. Call me Leafy."

"Thank you... Im just a little scared..." Crystal had never been in the Everfree before. She was still afraid of the dark but she knew how to handle that now. Lighting her horn like a flashlight was her only magic spell for now. "Leafy?... Do you know your way around?" Crystal hoped so. "Because this is my first time here..."

Leafy thought about all the times she'd been in the Everfree. "Yes, maybe not well enough to create a map, but well enough to find my way around, unless you're planning to go really deep in the forest." She looked at the sky. It wasn't about to be dark for an hour, maybe two; it was hard to tell without a clock. If they hurried they could probably get out before night fell. "What flower are you looking for?" she asked. "I may be able to recognise it." She pointed to her cutie mark - a green leaf. She'd be able to recognise almost any flower.

"What flower are you looking for?" she asked. "I may be able to recognise it."

Crystal pulled out her book of everfree plants she had taken from her mom. Pointing to a blue and orange flower. "This one... " It wasn't rare or hard to spot but it was very usefull.

Leafy looked at the flower in the book. She recognised it. She had one at home, though it wasn't fresh. The flower, although usually easily found by experts, was hard to grow unless in its natural environment, the Everfree Forest. Or was she getting mixed up? Wait, she thought, I never get flowers mixed up! Did she step on Poison Joke? Or maybe she was just panicked from being in the forest twice in the same day. She had never done that before.

Crystal noticed how nervous Leafy looked. If somepony who had just come out of the forest and has a cutie mark in gardening was worried... Crystal started to shake at the thought of this.Mabey this was a bad idea... No! She had to be brave! She turned to Leafy trying to make conversation to keep her mind bussy,"So how do you remember so many flowers?"

Leafy shook her head to get rid of her thoughts. Turning back to the filly, she answered her question. "I just do. The same way unicorns remember magic, the same way you remember how to do... Whatever your talent is." She pointed to the sparkly heart-shaped crystal cutie mark on the filly's flank. "By the way, you haven't told me your name yet. All I know is that you're a unicorn, here to get a flower."

"By the way, you haven't told me your name yet. All I know is that you're a unicorn, here to get a flower."

Crystal gasped,"Your right!I forgot!I'm so sorry!" How could she forget? The fear must have been getting to her more than she thought."My name is Crystal, and that..."She pointed at her cutie mark,"...Represents my personality."She smiled. I do have a small talent.. although, its not very impressive.

Leafy nodded. Looking around, she spotted a blue-and-orange flower, the one that Crystal needed, in a group of flowers. "There!" she yelled. She pointed to it. Before running to it, she spotted a bed of blue flowers - poison joke in front of the flower. Turning to Crystal, she asked, "You know how to teleport?" If the filly was able to do magic as strong as that, she would be able to get there and back, easy. It was unlikely that a filly as young as that could do magic, but she had to try.
(Hooray for getting Crystal in trouble!)

(Wow lol)

"You know how to teleport?"

Crystal frowned, "No... I can only use one spell... and it won't help us..." Crystal saddly awnsered.

Leafy sighed, looking around for anything to help. She hoped she'd see something like a vine, or a random trampoline left in the middle of nowhere, after all, there was a strange coincidence that she happened to be going out of the forest at the same time as Crystal was going in. Then they could get the flower, and go. But, of course, nothing. What a surprise. When she decided to help a filly, poison joke prevented her from doing so.

Crystal had an idea. She started kicking a tree branch. She knocked it out of the tree. Draging it toward the flowers. It was heavy. "Leafy? Can you help me throw this to act as a bridge?" She asked. With me being this small mabey I can balance my way across.

Leafy nodded, knowing that because of Crystal's small size, the branch would be big enough for her to cross, and get the flower. Leafy went over to Crystal, and helped to lift the branch. Although it was heavy, two ponies working together made the job easier.

Setting the branch over the flowers, Crystal climbed on the top. She tried to balance her way across. She stumbled and almost fell but, she reached the flower and shoved it in her saddle bag."I got it Leafy! I got it!" She yelled exitedly.

"Great! Now, come back!" exclaimed Leafy, glad that she had got it. Now she could go back home without risking her life again, looking for a flower.

(Not sure what else to say)

(Tis all good lol)

"Ok!" Crystal yelled back. She traced her way back across. Carfuly she stumbled over the branch. At the other end she took a rest.

Leafy looked at Crystal, who was resting. They hadn't really done much, but that was probably enough for a little filly as young as that. Looking up at the sky, she saw that it wasn't dark yet. Strange. It felt like hours had passed. Leafy sat down against a tree and took her own rest.

Crystal got up and looked at Leafy. "Thank you for your hlep!" She smiled greatfuly.

"You're welcome!" said Leafy. "By the way, doesn't your mother get suspicious when you take three hours to go to the market for a herb?"

"Oh no! Your rite!" Crystal said hurrying down the path. Mom's going to kill me! She thought as she dashed home. "Bye Leafy! Thanks For helping me find it!" She yelled back as she entered the house.

Leafy walked back to her own house, smiling. It was nice to see a filly know about flowers.
