The Tale of Forte

               Forte woke up the next day, he got dressed in his work attire and made his bed. He then went down for breakfast, his favorite meal. After he got ready, Forte felt like he was forgetting something, something about yesterday. After flipping the closed sign to the open sign, Forte went over to his desk, not noticing the card from yesterday. About 30 minutes later, he sold a banjo to a mare, the mare thanked Forte and left. While working, Forte was trying to remember what he forgot, then he concluded that he probably didn't forget anything. It was about lunch time when he remembered, "dammit, I forgot" he said and Forte then quickly galloped over to the desk and grabbed the card and left. Forgetting something, Forte went back inside and put the out for lunch sign up.

               He read the card again, "hmmm freindship street" Forte muttered, he looked around and he found friendship street and went that way. In about 15 minutes, Forte found the stallions house. It was a nice house, not to big, not to small, beautiful colors, and a mahogany red door with a silver doorknob. After he arrived at the door, Forte knocked. The stallion answered the door, "I'm glad you came" the stallion said, "please come in, I just made some tea." "Ok" Forte said and walked in and sat down as the stallion poured them tea, "why did you want to talk to me?" Forte asked and took a sip of his tea. "I am looking for a pony like you" the stallion said. Forte looked at him, "for what?"

               "Something strange is happening in the everfree forest" the stallion said and drank some tea. "Everfree forest" Forte said in his head as he was taking a sip of tea, he shuddered, the everfree forest was creepy, the clouds move all by themselves. "Isn't that normal?" Forte asked. "No" the stallion said, "it has gotten even weirder a little too fast, and I find that suspicious." "Well I can't argue with that" Forte said, the everfree forest would never get even weirder that fast, "so why do you need me?" The stallion chuckled, "I need you to investigate." "Um, no thanks" Forte said, "I'm not sure I could do that." "Don't worry" the stallion said, "this is an offer, you could decline." It was a hard descission, "I'll tell you when I decide" Forte said. "Tak your time" the stallion said and opened the door for Forte. After going out the door, Forte went back to the shop and took off the gone for lunch sign.
