My Spring Break in the EverFree Forest

Day Two, 9:15 a.m

“The plants grow…” Started Applejack

“The animals take care of themselves…” Continued Fluttershy

“ And the clouds move…” added Rainbow Dash

“All on their own!” all three said together.

How silly can those ponies be? Those are things that happen naturally.  It’s like, if those ponies don’t have everything under their control, they go nuts. Freakin’ god complex. Oh, in case whoever reads this doesn’t know, I’m an avid watcher of “My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.” That dialogue at the beginning is from that show. In the episode, they were about to go into the Everfree Forest which everything flowed naturally. Everything in our world flowed naturally, and we’re doing just fine. More or less. Anyway, those ponies need to calm down and chill out.  There’s nothing scary about a forest.

Well, Journal, that’s enough about ponies. My dad and I are heading out to the camp grounds.  I’ll write in you later. Wish me luck.

P.s Please pray that he doesn’t play any of his “classics” on the way there. It’s like a five hour drive. I can’t handle that much torture.

Needing your prayers, Jessica

(5:47 P.m)

So after eight hours of torture- curse traffic-  we finally arrived at the campsite.   The air was fresh, the trees were tall, and I forgot my portable charger. My electronics were going to die, and I would have nothing else, but you, journal. Why can’t you be WiFi compatible? I can say one thing at least. The view was beautiful.

I watched as my dad set up the tent. He struggled, journal. Oh did he struggle.  Fell on his face multiple times. Hit in the groin with the poles multiple times.  Even thought he was done until the tent collapsed on its self…multiple times.  Within all his failures, he still had smiles on his face, though I admit, he began going a slower pace. Soon enough , I decided to go gather some wood fire wood while he struggled.

“I’ll be back,” I said to my father, “Gonna get some wood.”

“Alright. Get the fallen sticks on the ground. They are- Ooff!” My father fell on the ground as the pole hit him in the groan again.  Journal, after today, my dad probably can’t have any more kids.

I’ll be back. Forever yours, Jessica.

(6:33 p.m)

Journal!! Journal!! You wouldn’t believe what I saw! Out in the woods! It was...small…yellow…had wings…it was Flutterhshy! I was in the woods gathering woods when I heard someone humming. I followed the sound for about ten minutes before I reached a clearing. In the clearing was Fluttershy feeding some squirrels. I watched her silently, but I stepped on a fallen branch. The snap alerted her to my presence.  Once she saw me, she screamed…very softly…before flying away.

Okay Journal…you probably think I’m crazy. I’ve been talking to you for two days with no response, but I know you can hear me. I saw Fluttershy in those woods.  Of course, my dad didn’t believe me.  I guess I’ll just have to find her to prove to you both.

I’m not crazy, Jessica.
