It'd been about... 30 minutes? I think(I don't have a watch, okay!)? We were walking through the Badlands for what feels like forever... we could walk out in the open since we were now out of the patrol route, at least for the afternoon. From what Speck said, the patrol routes are father in the morning and in the night, the patrols are even farther ! The nightly patrols stretched to the equestrian border! (Speck said that anywhere in the Badlands is technically Changeling land and a kingdom, though I doubt it was official since the changelings weren't even discovered.)

While we were walking, I looked around everywhere. "Why would you look when there is nothing but sand, rocks, and pillars?", you may have asked. You see, I mentioned how short our species are, here ponies are about 4-5 feet per average, adult Sparklings are usually half the size of ponies, I am literally the size of a kitten so everything around me (mainly) is fucking huge. And usually, I won't mention this because I was already insecure about my height back on earth but wow, I just had to mention it!(Hah! You probably would've thought I had gotten used to it but we were all the same height back up in the cloud!)

The topic of Shapeshifting with our size will be discussed for another day

Speck had been complaining about the heat after some minutes of walking, and the fact he was carrying some gems he found with his magic in an old sac. Though the rest of us aren't really affected by the hear. It does feel kinda hot but it doesn't at the same time(Only solidifies my theory about us being able to photosynthesis). Now, Speck stopped complaining! I can see why; in the small splotches of green!

We are nearly there!

I already have things planned, I'm going to "convince" the group to let Speck stay(If he does wanna stay), then we should arrive to Dodge junction/city(take your pick), get some memories to eat(Speck always saves a lot of hate from the hive in case he needs to fight some patrol changelings, so he'll be stocked) and maybe even buy some supplies. I really want to kidnap a pony and remove ~~all~~ most of their memories(They say it's Psychopathic I say it's experimental.), for fun, but I doubt UVL or Plankton will let me... Ray might, and Firefly will probably help me! But we are here mainly for supplies and food.

"Shouldn't we just fly the rest of the way there? It will be faster! And we've been walking for soooo long!" Firefly groaned, buzzing in annoyance(she tends to do that).

"You're the one to talk..." muttered Speck. "But yeah... It'd be faster."

We all take off, forming a line with Ray at the front and Speck at the back, but I, being the annoying little freak I am, decided to perch on Speck.

"What are you doing..?" Speck hesitated, I could feel the confusion. I mean, I know I could but... This one I could feel it in my... uh... What they call it? Chitin? Yeah, Chitin!

"Resting on your back, duh!" I sassed back.

"Yeah but...Why?"

"I wanted to!"

"...."

"....Why are you being so silent...?"

"I wanted to."

"... Well played, but you are okay with me staying here, right?"

"Yeah, it's kinda like putting a decent sized rock on my back."

"Oh... Alright! I did NOT think that I weighed that little!"

(Firefly) "Hah!"

(Flashlight)"Hah! You can not talk, okay? You probably way just a couple grams than me!"

(Firefly) "I'm probably 160 grams, you're probably 80!"

(Glow-Plankton)"Number one. Since when did "you weigh less" become a retort! If anything, ya'll should shut up, you're practically giving the group a headache!"

(UVL) "... He's not wrong."

(Firefly)"Have we all decided Speck is coming with us?"

(LightRay)"Since when was that agreed on-"

(Flashlight)"There's a correct answer for this."

(LightRay)"I think I speak for everyone here, we all agree on this..."

(Firefly)"Yeah.."

(UVL)"YEP!"

(Glow-Plankton)"Who wouldn't?!"

As time passed in silence, the more bored I became. Ya'll know what happens when you're bored, right? Oh sweet embrace of Naptime, carry me away in a fluffy blanket...

Noo... Sleep, come back...!

I feel myself waking up. Begrudgingly, I blink open my eyes to see Speck sitting to the left of me. All around was a stone cave, except in front of me which was the entrance to a forest, probably next to Haysead. To the right of me was the Timberwolf things

"You're awake!" Speck smiled, he was glad to see me.

"Yeah... but..." I yawned mid sentence. "Where are the others?"

"Oh! and Firefly went to go get food for you all. She insisted! The others split off to get supplies. They didn't bring you cause you were asleep"

"They could have woken me up!"

"could they? They told me anyone who woke you up on purpose would get destroyed..."

"I guess you are right..." her gaze flicked over to the Timberwolf things when she remembered. "Oh yeah! Speck, go get Sticks, dead wood leaves. anything like that!"`

"Uh why?"

"We got some Timberwolves to make!"

I watch as Speck put the final punch of leaves with his blue magic into a pile. The pile was as tall as Glow-plankton! That means it practically towered over me. I had the Timberwolf Growth potion in my magic. I carried it over so it was close to the pile.

What do Timberwolf orbs need to open up...? Probably magic, maybe the growth food could help...?

Levitating the potion above the orbs, I slowly pour a drop (IT SPILLED ON IT-) on both orbs.

Suddenly, The twigs, dead leaves and branches start getting pulled towards the green-yellow orbs, piece my piece, both orbs started to for their bodies. The thing is, because there was some dead leaves in the pile, both Timberwolves had a green-brown(the darker one) and Purple-brown(lighter one)dead-leaved tail. They were basically cuter, smaller Timberwolves!

One pup had a darker grey-brown wood while the other had a lighter tan wood. They were both sitting beside each other, wagging their leafy tails. A leaf tongue came out from the darker one. The lighter pup sniffed me, then Speck, then the litter pile which was half the size it used to be, then it dug in after looking at me(and when I mean dug in it literally ate itself a hideout.)

"They're... Cuter than I expected! What are they're names gonna be, if you do name them?"

"Hmm... The darker one will be Ebony-" the darker pup cocked his head towards me, "The lighter one, Juniper." The other pup cocked her head towards me.

Right... PHOTOSYNTHESIS!

I glowed bright, the pups approached me closer. Juniper was now laying beside me, as well as Ebony who was resting on my other side, curled up into a small ball somehow. I adjust my position to a laying position so I would be confortamble.

"I'm going to be here for awhile, I guess..."
