Diablo's journey

It had been a few months now, and it was time for the Lunacies to pick up sticks and move onto another town, Diablo was happy, as she didn’t have to Go to great lengths to talk to the fillies in that particular class anymore, she can now start fresh, Word in the tent is that they’re heading for canterlot, My how sophisticated!

‘’and now it’s time to show em’ our stuff!’’ Diablo Said proudly to father, who she helped roll up the last of  the main tent with the rest of the family. It’d been a long day, and they’re not done yet, Diablo’s gotta carry the tent pegs on a  small carriage, all the way to Canterlot. That’s on the other side of Equestria!

“Make sure, they’re neat and stacked well, make sure the bag is tied correctly, and don’t trip or fall, okay?” Father Briefed to her as  he  Piled the bag of pegs onto her small carriage, she backed into the front, and he bolted her in, ready for action!

The rest of the family carried hevier objects, like the poles, the chairs, the base, and all other aspects of the tent that you could possibly imagine, on top of that, all props and apparatus, like mother and fathers acrobatics trapezium.

They had been trekking for around five hours, through the woods, and they where heading for the hollow shades to rest, a small Forest village, smaller than ponyville.

Diablo Hurried her pace as she was lagging behind the moving family. She  slid between several cousins, and hurried past aunts and uncles in order to catch up with mother. Diablo looked up to mother and asked “ Mother.. Why can’t we take a.. t…. the train?”  She stuttered. Mother chuckled. “ Diablo, look how big our tent and poles are!” She said, looking back, presenting Her large carriage, along with the rest of the Lunacy family and their carriages. “there’s no room for the likes of us getting on a train.. Besides. It will keep us tough.” She reassured her.

Diablo slouched under her carriage. “ouf.. So far. How long until we get to the shades?” She asked.

“ An hour and a half walk, sweetie.” Mother told Diablo.

“ An hour and a half? Awh! No fair!” Complained the tired filly.

The hours dragged on, Diablo had fallen behind again. The only light that was worth being near was the torch strung from her carriage. The Lunacy family’s torches where too far ahead for her to see well. She slung her head down.

“Yo Diablo” Came a voice “ Yeah, Hello!” Said another, Her head came up, to her right was Hoops, To her left,  Warlock, Her favourite cousin, a unicorn who was the lead assistant for the magic show, he was Quite a bit older, he was 13. “ Why have you slowed down? Are you tired?” Asked Warlock. Diablo nodded lightly.

“well, we can’t have that then can we?  Hoops, Unstrap her, for my next trick, I will Carry… Two Carts!” Hoops and Diablo gasped in Sarcastic ‘amazement’. They both chucked. Hoops unbuckled  the Weak Diablo from her cart, And used a tent rope to tie it onto the back of Warlocks cart.  “Thank you warlock.” Sniffed Diablo.

“oh, Anything for my Silly filly!” He  Winked.

''Hey, What do you suppose the big hoof will be like?" Hoops asked Warlock

"The big hoof?" Questioned Diablo

"Yeah, Canterlot" Hoops replied.

Warlock thought over his words. "well, I went there once, I was very little though. just under one year of age. just two years before you where born, Hoops. This was back when auntie crackerjack was doing her own show, I was with her at the time. she said it was, big. and royal. and everyone there speaks posh.. That's all I can say about it really."

Diablo and Hoops look at each other in delight.

" But, Crackerjack always told me about the statue garden. her favorite is the magic statue, she used to go there when she was younger. she told me it inspired her to study magic tricks." He continued.

Diablo's eyes widened. " Statues? of ponies? Are they still alive?"

Warlock chuckled. " No, i'm sure they're just stone. hey, I Tell you what, let's see if crackerjack can take us there after we set up the tent."

As they say, Doesn’t time seem to fly when you’re having fun?

“oh, I see it!” Said hoops, The other two looked ahead to see an orange glow in the distance, The Lunacy family Where already there.

The Hollow shades was right ahead!

The three picked up the pace, And made their way towards the warm village in the woods.
