Noise Maker
*Outside Celebration Castle...*
"Your turn, Sunny," said Minty. *Sunny Daze throws the rock and hops on the squares.*
"Good throw, Sunny Daze," remarked Pinkie Pie.
"She? really good at hopscotch," said Minty.
"Balance has something to do with it," giggled Sunny Daze.
"It just takes practice, Minty," assured Pinkie Pie.
"Yeah. Here, you take a turn, Minty," agreed Desert Rose.
"Okay. Here I go," announced Minty nervously before tossing the rock.
"Wow! You landed on 10, Minty! Way to go!," shouted Pinkie Pie excitedly.
"I did? Whoa. I didn?t see that coming. Must?ve been beginner?s luck," giggled Minty before finishing her turn.
"Maybe a little. We all have to start somewhere, Mint," said Sunny Daze.
"I guess you?re right," stated Minty. *A jet flies overhead and makes a loud nose.*
"What was that noise?" asked Desert Rose.
"And that thing making the noise," added Minty.
"It?s going awfully fast," remarked Pinkie Pie.
"Let?s see if we can follow it," suggested Skywishes.
"I don?t know. I don?t think we can catch it," concluded Minty.
"We won?t know until we try. Let?s go," replied Pinkie Pie before all race off. *Later that day...*
"Have we caught up to it yet?" panted Minty.
"Not yet but I think we?re making progress," replied Pinkie Pie.
"It looks like it?s getting bigger," said Desert Rose.
"I don?t think it?s getting bigger. We?re just getting closer to it," corrected Pinkie Pie.
"It?s heading for that place," noted Twinkle Twirl.
"It?s got wheels underneath," stated Desert Rose.
"And it makes wind too," agreed Pinkie Pie as she and the others are blown over.
"What is this place?" asked Twinkle Twirl.
"I guess it helps whatever that thing is. We?d better go. It doesn?t look safe," figured Pinkie Pie. *Back in Ponyville...*
"We still don?t know what that thing is," said Skywishes.
"We can just call it a metal bird. It looked like a bird made of metal. I don?t know if we?ll ever get to see how it all works or even ride in one but it was pretty loud either way," explained Pinkie Pie.
"That?s for sure. I?m not sure I want to hear it again anyway," agreed Minty.
"I don?t think I?d enjoy being in one," said Coconut Cream.
"It might be fun," said Desert Rose.
"It didn?t look very pretty though," remarked Sparkleworks.
"It needed a rainbow at least," agreed Rainbow Dash.
"Now a rainbow bird I might fly in," realized Minty.
"Might be something to think about for the future," replied Pinkie Pie.
"I like our hot air balloons more," said Twinkle Twirl.
"Me too, even though I can?t fly them very well," agreed Minty.
"One thing?s for sure. These metal birds sure have something special," thought Pinkie Pie.
