Peppermint finished her meal. A few minutes later, her aunt came trotting up. "Good afternoon," she said courteously, inclining her head towards Dawn and Ember.

Smart nodded. "Your favourite place? The sea, maybe?" he said, handing a light blue balloon to Peace. He gave Doomato a dark blue balloon and Peppermint a red balloon.

"Yes, Doomato. Let me just explain..." Smart's voice drifted from behind a huge box. "It's something that can be different colours and pops if you burst it." He set the box down on a small table and smiled again.

"What colours would you all like?" he asked, lifting a few flat balloons out of the box.

"Ooh, ooh!"

"Doomato? Why don't you explain it to everypony while I go and get some?" Smart trotted into the cupboard. "Hmm..."

Smart blinked hard, bemused. "Well, I... um, I guess? I think it's nice of you to ask, Doomato. There are building blocks and dressing-up clothes to play with and you can all play together. I know, who knows what a balloon is?" he smiled.

"A... what? Bawoon? What'th a bawoon? Bawoon!" giggled Peppermint. "Nope!"

Smiling, Sunset went out to join Arielle. "You're a great swimmer, you know. I'm rubbish. Could you help me? I can do basic laps and things."

"I agree," Eliza Hearts walks by, pausing, and nods animatedly. "Disgraceful. I also heard they robbed a poor market vendor of all his day's earnings."

((WAIT WAIT WAIT
the jungle was huge (or I assumed so), so this fire could have burned for hours, maybe days.
How much time has passed??
I'm assuming it's around sunset, at least? Maybe later?))

Fair enough. How long do you think the fire would have lasted for here?

"Hello you three!" Smart smiled encouragingly. "What would you like to do first?" he asked them.

Aphrodite tutted at Zeus and trotted over to sit on her lush throne. "Zeus, hon, what on Olympus are you wearing?"

Zeus blushed. He was wearing a flowery green Hawaiian shirt and flared silver disco trousers, and looked absolutely horrendous, especially to the mother of all fashionistas, Aphrodite.

Hera, beside him, giggled. "Well, I did say it was different, didn't I, Zeus?"

Smart looked startled. " Join in? Of course. No need to ask. What would you like to play? Tag, Catch, Pony in the Middle, or word games, like in a circle and play?"

Sorry, I haven't posted for a while, my internet's been going haywire!

Smart smiled warmly at the newcomers. "Hello Blue Scale, and of course this little colt," turning to Peace. "Now then, what would you like to do first? Colouring, dressing up, games, building blocks... there's quite a lot!" Chuckling, he waved a hoof to Peppermint, who still had her crown on, though rather lopsided now, and was constructing some sort of precarious tower out of only red and green blocks.

P.S. I'm getting the sense that Doomato is up to no good... is he evil? (Rhetorical question, don't answer or you'll ruin the story so far...)

(( Thank you!

...uhhhh, unfortunately, I'm not sure how I would have Aquamarine respond, seeing as she's sleeping.

Maybe when she wakes up, assuming you all haven't left yet. Though, I'm planning on letting her sleep for a few hours... trying to keep things at least sorta realistic. ))

Okay!

After the forest fire:

"So, when are we hijacking the ship?" Sunrise asked Ithua slightly nervously.

Oi no taking control of Ituha! She's mine, also Ceada is on Ithua's back.

((Oops! Sorry!))

Aquamarine looked sideways at Sunrise and fidgeted. She understood if Sunrise wanted to go with Ithua's plan, but if she did, Aquamarine didn't want to be left alone...

Sunrise bit her lip harder, almost drawing blood. "I don't know..." She hadn't the faintest idea how to begin stealing a ship, and she somehow wanted to stay on this island. Still, Ithua's plan might be the only way to reach home. She voiced these thoughts out loud, and silently promised herself to become stronger both physically and mentally. She would start now.

"I think-" Her voice cracked slightly, but she took a deep breath. "I think I'll come with you," she said bravely, looking Ithua in the eye. "I know I haven't been much help so far, but if you show me how to get started, I'll try my best, and eventually, probably be okay at something." Then she realised the other mare, Aquamarine, was fidgeting uncomfortably.

"Are you okay?" Sunrise asked her.

Carefully, she levitated a mass of sand, then arranged it into a perfect, flat square. Her mane clung to her neck, sweat from both the excursion and from the heat pooling on the sand below her hooves. She squeezed her eyes closed, concentrating. She maneuvered the sand into the fire, then held it there for a while. She had to sit down, the magic draining her energy.
After a moment, she pulled it out again. it had formed into a perfect sheet of glass.

Excited, she created five more squares, and large dome in the vague shape of an igloo. Finally, she levitated a burning branch and took it and her glass with her back to her small base camp, weariness making the journey seem so much longer. When she reached her things, she set the burning branch a short ways away from her things, then she carefully leaned the glass panes against the stones, and settled the dome around her, the stones, her raft, and her glass, the burning branch a short ways away. Too tired to use any more magic, she dragged one of her glass panes over the entrance of the dome with her mouth, then piled sand up against it so nothing could break it. She then lay, her back to the stones, which had been warmed by the sun. Unable to do anything else in her weakened state, she fell into a deep sleep.

Wow! Aquamarine is very resourceful.

(((Hey, where's Ceada?)))

Sunrise woke and heard the commotion. She was a little late catching up with the current plan, and she had slept through the adventure with the snake, so when she glumly trotted over to Ithua and Aquamarine and found herself standing in front of a large, scaly reptile that she had no idea was dead, she understandably overreacted.

"SNAAAAKE!" she screamed and galloped off at lightning speed. As she ran, she heard Ithua sigh, and say scathingly, "Yes, we know. Seen it all before."

She skidded to a halt and sent sand flying in every direction away from her hooves. Blushing, she quietly cantered back. She crept up to the snake and gently nudged its dead body with her front hoof, then leapt back in case it moved. When it didn't, she felt very embarrassed and kept her head down.

"Um... so what's the plan? If there is one?" she asked, biting her lip.

((I believe Lunar recognized Angel Heart, not Dusky))

(((Ah. Thanks for clearing that up.)))

Sunrise grimaced as the arrow in Lunar's back got pulled out by another pony. She hadn't even noticed it! Knees knocking, she murmured, "What's happening?" Suddenly, she couldn't take it anymore. She was lost at sea, on a mysterious island with strange ponies - and two apparently wanted to kill the other - and her little brother was lost somewhere else. She had no hope of finding him. Biting back a scream at the hopelessness of it all, she raced away, pushing past the cluster of ponies gathered round each other, to another stretch of sand on a different part of the island. Tears flowed freely from her eyes as she stumbled, clumsily falling over and dragging herself up to carry on. Tired out at last, she sat down and sobbed. Wildly.

She began rummaging in the sand with her front hooves, throwing back sand and trying, carelessly, to dig a shallow hole in the sand her size. Tears dropped from her face and mingled with the sand. Finally, she stopped, dragged herself into the hole, and, exhausted, slept deeply. Her dreams were riddled with nightmares and terrifying thoughts.
