[CR DD&AH] 30Min Writing Challenge #3 *TreeTime Edition*

“This is the absolute LAST favor I do for you, Derpy!”

The two mares looked up from the ledge the two set at. THeir backs were pressed against the rock, their manes whipped by the wind. Below them lay a pit with no end, while above them was their safety and salvation… If only they had the rope that Derpy had dropped.

“I’m sorry!” Derpy whined. “It’s not my fault! I- I just don’t know what went wrong!”

“Well I do!! If you hadn’t wanted to keep that stupid cookie jar--”

“But it had all the best cookies!” Derpy whineda gain.

“Don’t talk to me about cookies- it was not the best choice!” Twingkleshine looked down at their fearsonme, possible doom, and then at Derpy’s wings. “Why can’t you fly up?!”

The wind is too strong,” Derpy told her. “Even if I were a Wonderbolt this wind wouldn’t be good! I can’t fly in this mess! Why don’t you use your magic to levatate us or teleport us?”

“I can’t! I never learned that spell!” Twinkle replied. They soon felt the WHOOSH of another particularly storng wind, and they screamed, then together they dropped to crouching on the ledge.

“What do we do now?” With their last hope gone with that rope, they were both in trouble. Until they heard a voice calling down to them.

“Hey!! Twinks! Derps! Grab on!”

Twinkleshine and Derpy looked up to see their mutual friend, Lyra Heartstrings, dropping down a ladder! They smiled abd reached for the rope ladder and started the long climb up.

“Thanks Lyra!” said Derpy as she reached the top of the cliff. “How did you find us?”

“That was easy.” Lyra pointed down along the gruond. “I found the trail of cookie crumbs. You were eating while flying again, weren’t you?”

Derpy blushed, and laughed a bit. “Yeah… that’s how I dropped the jar.”

“and got us into trouble,” Twinkleshine said with annoyance in her voice. But with cheer, she said to Lyra,” Thanks for comeing for us. Where’s your frien Bon Bon? Isn’t she usually with you?”

“She um...had to take care of something. Come on! Let’s get back to town. These pit-cliff-things are really, really common in this forest.” With that the mares headed for the path that would lead them out of the Everfree forest and back to Ponyville.

“Remind me,” said Twinkleshine, “Not to come visit this town ever again!”

“Only when Derpy’s involved.” Lyra said.

“HEY!” Derpy pouted, but the expression changed into a giggle as all three mares laughed about the odd misadventure.

The End
