             The MABABS made it back to the barn in a few minutes since they were not far at all. 

             "Okay, I was VERY stupid to put on this gosh darned dress!!! I'm going put on a nice pair of old jeans and a loose t-shirt!" Britnie complained, obviously about her dress.

             "Hey, after you get back, we have A LOT to talk about!" Cloud said.

            "oh, and what would that be?" Asked Moona.

        "About who will pack what for our adventure to the other world." explained Wind.

           "oh boy, and how far away IS this place?" asked Breanna

            "Well, it took about three weeks for VERY fast moving Unicorns to get this way, so it'll probably take four or five weeks; depending on what challenges lay ahead." Answered Ebony.

             "WHAT CHALLENGES!?!?!" Asked a scared Breanna. "um........well, we have to tell them sooner or later because we don't want them off-gard." said Wind. Britnie wasn't headed to her house.

                   "Okay, okay, I'll explain." Said Ebony. "the-"

              "No, I will explain. You've been doing to much of the talking." Cloud cut Ebony off.

               "fine." replied a disturbed Ebony.

                   "YOU!?!?! how do you think I feel??? Clumsy-Ebony-has been-"  Wind WAS saying.

                     "Clumsy?" asked Britnie.

                    "uh-umm.....nothing, nothing..." said Ebony.

                 "uh-hu, okay..." replied a mysterious Britnie.

           "OKAY, now as I was saying, there's much, much, and much, much, MUCH to explain to you three. First of all, we have enemy creatures following us, and-" Cloud was cut off.

          "WHAT!?!" asked Moona-scared now.

         "As I was saying, there are creatures that are enemies of Unicorns, and they are after you three." Said Cloud.

                "Why are they after us?" Asked Moona.

              "What are they called?" Asked Britnie.

           "Are they going to attack us?" Asked Brea.

           "Most likely if they get the chance." Cloud answered Breanna's question. "They are called  Hunters. They hunt the Unicorns. They also have horrid looking Scouts, who are called Shadows." Cloud shivered when she said Horrid looking Scouts. "The Shadows are the ones that will hunt us down; then, they go to the Hunters and tell them about where we are."  

     Moona, Breanna, and Britnie, all gaped open their mouths. "Soooo..............WHY ARE WE STANDING HERE DOING NOTHING!?!!?!" Asked a scared-to-death Britnie.

               "Well, do y'all have any currency? And also, we're going to need three things that we can put on your ponies that will hold food and water. And I also recommend y'all to get your mothers to braid your hair in a single braid."

    Answered Wind.    "Okay, well, I have about $100." Said Britnie.

        "And I have about $60." Said Breanna. 

       "And I have about $40." Said Moona.

     "We've all been doing chores to make money. And I think Mrs.Crandal has-

         "What's dollars?" Asked Ebony.

          "It's money? you know, what we buy stuff with." Answered Moon.

           "Ah." Answered Ebony.

           "WAIT, WHAT?!! SHADOW is after us?!" Yelled Breanna, suddeenly; she had been thinking about the Shadows. Britnie then turned to look at Breanna. Breanna caught Britnie's gaze.

     "Shadow is CERTAINLY NOT after us." Britnie said stubornly.

     "OKAY, I am very confused here!" Breanna said insecurly.

    Moon giggled. "Yeah, imagine SHADOW coming after us!" Moon said, humorously.

             "Shadow Butt wouldn't do that! Would ya Shadow?" Britnie asked the pony. He didn't even notice she said anything. Britne slapped his rump, and he jumped with surprise. "yes, I'm talking to you!" She said, more with humor then anything. Shadow just started grazing while he could.

             "stubborn pony..." Britnie complained. Both Moona and Breanna giggled. "Nice nickname Shadow! Shadow Butt......" Breanna said, laughing.

             "It matches his personality." Britnie defended her pony.

             "OKAY OKAY! ENOUGH WITH THE LAUGHING! THIS IS SERIOUS!!!" Ebony whinnied VERY LOUDLY.

             "OKAY OKAY! We're listening!" Shouted Breanna.

             "Ok, one of you need to get water, pack them in a backpack, one of you need to get food, preferably some sort of meat, and one of you need to get vegetables and fruits." Commanded Cloud.

             "I'll get the meat! My dad just finished making salt meat!" Announced Britnie.

             "I'd be afraid to eat what your family cookz, B." Breanna stated.

             "Me too...." Moona agreed"

             "oh, don't worry about what kind of meat you're gunna be eating! It'll be good, it's just the usual deer meat." Britnie laughed.

             "Yeah, but what your family calls "regular", is deer! Not that it isn't good, but most families call regular, is beef! I'd hate to see what "exoctic" food is to you!" Breanna said, and to Britnie, it was humorous.

             "er, well, exoctic ain't TOO bad...........most exoctic food would be Armadillo, I think...." Stated Britnie.

              "Well, anyways, I'll get fruit and vegetables, since apples are my favorite!" announced Breanna.

              "I guess I'll get water then......" stated Moon, flatly.

 

             Just then, a girl and a bay pony and a blue roan horse came galloping up to the barn. The girl was riding the horse and the horse did a stop. The girl fell off and said "Rain dance! Why did you bring me back here!?!". "Because you don't have a plan, food, or water! How are we going to live!" anwsered Rain Dance. The girl got up and walked Rain Dance and her pony Misty following. "Sometimes I wish you were a just a plan horse!" The girl shouted. "Who are you?" Moona asked. "Elizabeth, but you can call me Lizzy for short." said the girl. "Is-is Rain Dance a uni-unicorn?" asked Brea nevorsly and excited. "Yes and boy, does he have a mind of his own." said Lizzy. "That is a good thing, you would have died if I didn't bring you back here."  said Rain Dance. "What are your names?" asked Lizzy. "I know this was strange." Lizzy said. "I am Breanna, but you can call me Brea for short." Brea said. "I'm Moona, you can call me Moon." said Moona. "I'm Britie, Brea calls me B, though." Brintie said. *Don't forget us!" shouted Wind, Black Ebony, and cloud. The unicorns intorduced them selfs to Rain Dance and Lizzy. Rain dance, Black Ebony, Wind, and Cloud were whispering something to each other. "What do you think they are whispering?" Whispered Britnie. "Maybe a plan?" anwsered Moona.

 

             The MABABS came outside, and told the news to Lizzy. "Yay, thanks! Maybe I won't be so bored!" Lizzy said. "ha ha, but you said earlier that you were leading me to go back to the portal to my world; actually, me and the other Unicorns was discussing something: I had come here, because I could feel there was someone else here, who needed to come with us to the world with you three." Rain Dance point her muzzle to Breanna, Moona, and Britnie, then continued. "So, I snuck to the portal, went the long way around to here, and found you. The other Unicorns think it is a mistake, but it isn't; I can feel it in my heart." Said Rain Dance.

 

             "Hah, you probably just don't want to be embarrassed that a human is leading you back to home!" Said an amused Lizzy. "No, you should be just happy!" Said Rain Dance, stubbornly. "Anyways, it is late, and I'm STILL in this dang darn dress! Everyone, go ask y'alls parents if we can have a sleep-over at the barn, while I get dressed normally, and ask my parents too." Britnie announced. Lizzy kinda did a cough-cough thing. Everyone looked at Lizzy, and Rain Dance knew why Lizzy did that. "Well, my parents probably think I'm-er-lost, or kidnapped right now." Lizzy said. To Lizzy's surprise, Breanna, Moona, and Britnie, acted like that was the most normal thing in the world. "Okay, well, you can just stay here then! Now, be right back!" And Britnie raced off to her house.

 

             So, an hour later, they were all in a big stall, and all of them had thrust away their sleeping bags, and made "Hay Sleeping Bags" because they didn't want Lizzy to be sleeping in hay, while they were in a nice, warm, bag. They chattered about the adventure, planned what to do, and finally, Ebony got frustrated. "would you three-I mean four-shut up!? I'm trying to get my beauty sleep!" Shouted Ebony. "Clu-I mean Ebony-" Cloud started, but stopped as Ebony's glare caught her eyes. "Remember to use the names our newfound friends have named us." Ebony said. Britnie jumped to her feet and ran to Ebony. "Tell me why Cloud and Wind keep starting to call you something like "Clumsy", NOW." demanded Britnie. Ebony sighed. "Wait till-" he started. "NOW." Britnie demanded more. Ebony lowered his voice to a whisper. "When your friends fall asleep, come here, and I will tell you." And with that, Britnie was satisfied and walked back to the stall to go to sleep with her friends-even though she was just waiting for them to fall asleep.

 

             Around Midnight, at least Britnie guessed, she crept to Ebony's stall. With a whisper, she said, "Ebony? Are you awake?" "Dang; I was hoping you would have fell asleep" He whispered back. "Now why would I do that?" "Stubborn girl." Britnie grinned at that comment. "Got that right, boy." "okay, so I might as well tell you the sad story of a Unicorn foal....." Britnie got entranced. "There was once a foal, who was born, but there was something wrong with him; he had no elegance in his step. He was very Clumsy. He always fell over when galloping with the other Unicorn Foals, and he earned the nickname, "Clumsy Fool". Well, ho got tired of this name, and worked harder and harder at his walk, trot, canter, and gallop. Eventually he got to where he could at least walk right, and not trip over roots; but every now and then, he'd fall. Soo......when he got older, he wanted to change his name; he changed it, but no one ever used it, so, he changed it back to Clumsy Fool, for what was the point of having a name nobody used?" Ebony told his story. "and that foal, was me."

 

             At first Britnie was dumb-founded, but then she eyed Ebony. "I'll make you a promise. Next person or Unicorn to call you Clumsy, or even part of that name, is going to have a very bad bruise on their hide." Ebony laughed at this. "you have one fierce heart, for such a small body." He said. "I don't need to have a strong body, to have a strong heart." Britnie stated. "Got that right." Ebony agreed. So, Britnie went to sleep, but right when she turned to go, Ebony said, "Don't dare tell anyone that dark secret; at least, not anyone that doesn't know yet." then he turned around in his stall, and then, Britnie went to her hay-sleeping bag.

 

             It was morning now, and the MABABS had just woken up to see..."NO! GET HER! CATCH HER!!!" Screamed Breanna. "What?!" Britnie, Moona, and Lizzy screamed as they walked into a stall after getting dressed to see Breanna, chasing after a rat. "ANNA! HERE GIRL!" She screeched. "Oh my gosh!" Yelled Britnie. "WHY ARE YOU CHASING A RAT?!" Yelled Lizzy. "Gotcha!" Yelled Breanna as she picked up a rat she called Anna. "She is my rat....she looked lonly so I..." "ARF ARF!" They heard. "OK so maybe I brought all my animals..." Breanna smiled sheepishly. "BREA!!" They all yelled in unison. "Sorry! I couldn't leave them!" She yelled. "Exept Pepper my fish. He I could do without, oh and NO WAY WILL I LEAVE ANNIE HERE."

 

             Britnie smiled. "Your dogs remind me of Angel and Art! They just stay in their pens all day, because they can't come riding with me, sadly. Anyways, they can learn, can't they? And we BETTER be bringing our horses!" Britnie ran to her house, got Angel and Art, and brought them back, and they were as happy as could be! Angel ran in circles, and Art jumped up and down. "Lizzy, you don't happen to have a dog with you, and just tied him up to a tree, would ya?" Asked Brea. "Actually, yes, and Rain Dance had insisted we left him behind, but I just couldn't!" Lizzy answered. All of a sudden, the Unicorns turned and looked at them from their stalls. "Those dogs, do they protect you?" Asked Cloud. "Angel and Art will. Angel will bark and growl, and so will Art, only more viciously, and when her "prey" gives her a chance to bite at it's heels and legs, she'll go after the prey and bite em'." Answered Britnie. "Oh, and, this is Angel." Britnie pointed to the light brown Chihuahua. "And that's Art. Art is her nickname for Artemis." Britnie then pointed to the dark brown, or blue, Chihuahua Rat Terrier mix.
