~~~~~~

Patience moved herself between Stella and Chaser while putting a hoof around both of them. "Looks like the fillies are excited. So let's get going already!"

Both Stella and Chaser nodded in agreement, and the five of them moved off at an hastened pace.

The group stopped once they reached the edge of this cloud platform. Chaser said with a mock pout to the little ones, "Well, I guess it's the end of the line for the little ones.

“They can't make it over there. I guess no ice cream for them then."

Fluttershy was amused by her father's antics, and knew he was just kidding, but played along and pretended to look worried with a little fake pout of her own, all while looking up with sad eyes.

Triumph who did not get the joke, and saw her sister's face gave a pout of her own. Only, unlike Fluttershy she was really worried they really were not getting some ice cream, despite not knowing what it is.  

Patience saw their faces and gave Chaser a good slap on the rump with a hoof and made him jump a bit. "Oh' stop teasing them!"

Patience knelt down to the foals and said with much mirth. "Time for a pony ride!"

She grabbed hold of each one, one at a time, and put them each on a parent's back.

~~~~~~

Chaser started off with the order for his two foals. "OK, for the two little ones, I will have a cup of vanilla."

Floater scoffed at that. "What! is that all? Just a cup of vanilla? Look this is supposed to be special. And I know Fluttershy has already had that."

Floater raised a hoof as if to stop any further comment against what he has to say. “I know, I know, keep it simple. They are just foals after all, but I will fix it up a bit."

Floater called over an assistant. "Cirrus, Come over here." A light blue mare with a pink mane came over. "I would like you to make two small separate cups of vanilla, light on chocolate sauce, a helping of whipped cream, a small dash of chocolate sprinkles, and a cherry on top. Make them up right quick."

With a nod, Cirrus jaunted off to make the order.

~~~~~~

Triumph wondered if this other pony with them is this Misty she heard Stella say might get into a fight with Patience. The thought that it might be, scared her. She did not wish to be around a possibly mean pony.

The new arrivals touched down and approached the others in waiting. Stella greeted them. "Hello. Glad to see you are back. So what took you? You have been gone for so long, I got worried."

Patience took a seat next to Stella. "Sorry about that, but I had to track these two down all the way to Rainbow Falls. That is not a quick flight.

Misty is feeling a little impatient, and got a little gruff with her questions. "So, what is this about anyway? Why did Kicker, and I have to be interrupted from a perfectly good outing?"
