A Day With Her Friends

As Twilight and her friends continued to hang out outside they worked on the sweat lodge for the ceremony. Twilight and her friends continued to add long sticks and to the lodge and made sure that it was stable enough not to fall apart.

As they were outside they continued to stay hydrated by drinking water and juice from a few coolers that they had outside. Twilight realized how much fun she was having with her friends. She decided that maybe they could take pictures throughout the day.

"Can we take pictures of us hanging out outside like this? I want to add this to some of our photo albums so I can remember this experience." Twilight asked.

"Rainbow Dash has been taking pictures of us throughout the day but she can take more if you want. That would be great if you added to some photo albums. We will give some to you and we will have some ourselves." Rarity said.

"I would like that." Twilight said. Rainbow Dash nodded and turned on her camera and took a few more pictures of her friends which Twilight and her friends thanked her for.

"You don't mind if we share those with eachother right?" Twilight asked Rainbow Dash.

"No I don't mind. Go ahead." Rainbow Dash responded. Twilight was happy that she had asked as they now had a few more pictures of the day. As they continued to work on the sweat lodge and talk while taking breaks Rainbow Dash took pictures from time to time.

The sweat lodge started to look a lot more like a sweat lodge than how the sweat lodge looked earlier. She was pretty happy that her friends knew so much about this stuff as she was just as educated as them about sweat lodges.

Twilight and her friends made sure not to make any mistakes on the lodge as they didn't want the lodge to fall while they were inside the lodge as that would interrupt their experience. Twilight was having a lot of fun helping with the lodge. She knew that it was a good idea to join her friends. This was a lot better than her studies.

"Are we ever going to do this again sometime after this? Im already having fun. I can't believe I almost refused to join you girls! I don't know what was going on with me that would make me refuse. I guess I feared that I would embarress myself." Twilight asked her friends as they worked.

"Of course we will. We don't know when but we can figure that out after today. I hope we do the sweat lodge again to. I'm glad your enjoying this. Your going to enjoy the bonfire as well. I think we will all enjoy that. You didn't have to worry about embarrassing yourself Twilight as if you did that they would have understood as your nervousness would cause that." Rarity said.

"Great! Thanks Rarity." Twilight said.

"Pinkie Pie we need more string for the lodge and then once we all finish tying together every part of the lodge we will take a break and then cover the lodge with the blankets. Once we cover the sweat lodge then the sweat lodge will be finished and then we can start using the sweat lodge. " Starlight Glimmer said.

"I am already on it Starlight." Pinkie Pie said. Pinkie Pie went over to a table and grabbed some more string and went back over to the lodge and gave it to Applejack. Applejack used the string on the lodge in order to tie the lodge together.

They all stepped back and examined their work. They were doing a great job so far and the best part was that they were having a lot of fun. They continued to use the rest of the string to tie the lodge together.

They finished tying the lodge together and then worked together to cover the lodge with the thick blankets that were laying aside the sweat lodge. Once the lodge was covered they made sure the blankets would stay on the lodge.

"Applejack if we get to hot can we remove our clothes? " Twilight asked.

"We won't need clothes in their. We are going to be wearing very light dresses but if you really have to you can remove the light dress or you can also get out of the sweat lodge." Applejack said.

"Okay I was just making sure. Thanks." Twilight said.

"Also if some of us are using it but our other friends aren't then do those friends have to use it if they aren't?" Twilight asked. Rarity shook her head quickly.

"Of coarse not. Nobody has to do the sweat lodge at the same time as other friends. Some of our friends can take a break while other friends use the sweat lodge. That's okay if they do that, if you feel like taking a break from doing the sweat lodge while we want to do the sweat lodge then you have every right to take a break from doing the sweat lodge. You don't even have to do it if you don't want to. Rarity said.

"Alright. Thanks Rarity. I do want to do the sweat lodge I was just wondering about breaks." Twilight said.

"Yes you are allowed to get out and take a break." Rarity said.

"Okay!" Twilight said.

Soon they finished the sweat lodge. They stood back and they examined their finished work and they all felt proud of eachother for their excellent work on the lodge as it was finally complete.

"Great job girls. It's now complete. Let us all bless this lodge before we use it later." Rarity said. The girls nodded and said a prayer over it. They lit some sage and washed eachother with the smoke to prepare to cleanse their bodies in the lodge. It took a few minutes as they passed it around while they cleansed eachother by waving it over their bodies.

Once they finished they decided to take a break and talk to eachother as they weren't going start doing the lodge until later on in the day which they didn't mind as that's what they wanted to do. The day was just starting.
