An Adventure awaits

Sunshine was walking down the road, checking her bags on last time listing everything she had in her bag in her head just to make sure that it was all there. She looks up to notice that there was a pony laying in the middle of the road, just laying there she couldn’t tell if he was injured or not but he looked asleep as if blissfully unaware about the space he was taking up.

She walks up to the sleeping stallion, looking at his features. Sunshine noticed that he was actually a Thestral, that’s probably why he was sleeping in the middle of the day on the road. He was a light gray, which was unusual for bat ponies, what was weirder though was his mane had which was a base white but had rainbow streaks. She noticed the same with his tail, his Cutie Mark appeared to be eight stars. She poked him slightly to see if he would wake up.

“Sir, Excuse me. Please wake up, your in the middle of the road it’s not a very good place to sleep.” Her plead was unheard to the sleeping pony, he was passed out. She tries again this time shaking him slightly. “Wake up your going to get injured if you don’t move!” she shouts slightly.

He jumps up at the shout that was in his ear, he gives her a slight glare as he coughs slightly. “What was that for? I was trying to sleep its in mid morning, the sun is way too bright for me to be awake.” He states Grumpily.

Sunshine looks at him smiling slightly. “Sorry, i just didn't want somepony with a wagon to run you over. Also there is a town very close that i just happened to come from. It's only about a Seventeen minute fly to there.” She points her left forehoof in the direction she came from. “Also i'm Sunshine! It’s nice to meet you, sorry again about the rude wake up but you just kept sleeping away.”

He shrugs and looks in the direction. “Thanks i guess, my name is Sparkie. I guess i could head that way once i wake up more. It's kinda hard to see in the daylight though with my eyes.” He looks back at her

Sparkie then looks away and starts to fly off, Sunshine watches as he flies off. “What a grumpy stallion, he shouldn’t sleep in the middle of the road.” She thought out loud to herself as she started her journey once more.

She continues walking down the path, humming to herself happily not really paying attention to where she is going as she’s happy to just get out and have an adventure. She happens to come upon a broken bridge. Not knowing how to get over it as the water is running swiftly and there seems to be no other routes. All blocked by trees, she notices something in the middle of the water. At first she thought it was a rock but noticed that it had scales. Rocks dont have scales.

She follows the ‘rocks’ until she finds a water dragon. “Umm excuse me? Could you please help me across? The bridge is broken up there.” The dragon turns around and looks at her. The dragon states in a high pitched voice “Sure please give me a second, i-i uh was kinda busy but yeah.” they stutter slightly.

Sunshine was confused by what was said but sits and waits for the dragon to move her to the other side of the river. The dragon after a few more minutes picks her up and puts her on the other side of the river. “Thank you alot for the help dragon, i really appreciates it!”

She starts to skip away leaving the dragon to tend to their own business, as it starts to get dark she looks around for a place to camp. She comes along what looks like a campsite, she sighs in relief at the lucky break. The trip taking a bit more energy than she would’ve thought for just starting out.
