Rubbing Penni's mane, she's adorable when she sleeps. Those bastards hurt her, she needs every calm moment to relax. As bad as I want to take the fight to them, I'm not enough to take on a group of murdering thieves. The door creaked open, popping out the white filly that I have to bring with me. I continue trying to comfort Penni, she's just so little compared to the bandits and they took advantage of that.

"You know we're not leaving till tomorrow Tulip," I said, addressing the filly.

"I know... just wanted to thank you for taking me along," She said in quite a down mood.

"Well... you're welcome. Try and get some sleep now," I said to the mopey filly.

"I know some healing, not magic of course but enough to see if that is going to be okay or not," She said, pointing to Penni's bandaged hoof.

"If you want to take a look at it sure... just don't hurt her," I said sympathetically. She just nodded and began to unwrap the bandages. Penni just shook a little but still asleep.

"Through the hoof, small incision though. Switchblade or a small knife wound, You cleaned the wound?" She asked. I just nodded and she went back to work. "Wound already clean, bandages are too little for this amount of bleed. Any absorbent cloth here?" I looked around and found a thick jacket. Cutting in with an arrow from my hoof bow, big enough to fit around a hoof. Handing her the cloth. "This will work well enough. Just as long as that hoof doesn't get put through stress it should heal fine," She said, turning around to exit.

"Thank you Tulip," I said. She nodded and walked out, leaving me and Penni alone once again. How am I going to keep her safe if we traveling all the way to Appleloosa? It's crazy and stupid thought but it's just a thought.

"Star..." Penni croaked.

"Shhhh, its okay Penni, I'm here," I said, comforting her.

"I know, its you I'm worried about," She said.

"Me? Why?" I asked confused.

"You need sleep, just lie down Star and sleep," She said with a tone of worriment.

"Fine," I said, lying down next to her. "If it makes you feel better,"

"You know it's going to be okay. Big Mac is coming along since he got business in Appleloosa," She said.

"Like that'll help much," I said with a roll of my eyes.

"It's Big Mac... Star, he's quite the shot with a gun, but not as skilled as tricking a sniper still," She said with a smile.

"Hey, I have my moments to slow down time and see a lens flare off of a scope," I said with confidence... and cockiness.

"You sound like that crazy doctor here, name is Doctor too and talks about time and space. Travel in time or something like that but no pony listened to him..." She stopped. She sighed and continued. "Besides a mail mare... who is a bit crazy herself but the town loves her, not her mix ups though. Anyways, she's been traveling around with the doctor and stuff but don't ask me where. Blue boxy thingy they go in which makes no since because its soo small," She said, before I stopped her.

"Let me guess, it disappears into thin air and they have adventures through any time or universe," I said, soaring my hoof in the air.

"Its weird I know, but ask anyone in town about those two and you'll get the same answer," She said. "Besides them, is everything ready to leave in the morning?"

"All ready, adventuring through time and space," I said, remaking the motion.
