(To Snow and anypony else wondering I did technically say in the OOC thread that any of you could take control of one of the mane six or other character from the show, but you must post it under your character profile in the OOC thread.)
"The tree's and the plants for a start... Most of them have menacing side affects... Then there is the Wildlife... Then there is the cliffs... But do not worry too much for we are pretty much half way there..." Dark Shine looked up to see a batch of Poison Joke blocking the path. "STOP!"
Jhera looked at the patch of Poison Joke in front of him. "Oh, fantastic!" he exclaimed. "I'm almost out from my last shipment! I'll just pick some of those!" He bent down and, much to Dark's horror, simply grabbed the flowers and uprooted them. He placed them in a bag he had brought in his pack and pulled out an odd green-blue pill. He swallowed it and turned towards Dark. "Oh, whats with the look," he said, "I've been a florist ever since i got my Cutie Mark, after the sixth poison joke infection I got, I took it upon myself to find an easy-to-make cure. Want one? We can cross this easier." He pulled another pill out of his bag and held it out to Dark.
"No thanks" Dark shook his head "I'm.... allergic to... them.... You know... worse effects instantly...." Dark looked for another route. Not finding one he tried to climb a tree only to land on his other wing.
The door opened to reveal a bright pink pony," Hi! I'm Pinkie Pie!" Snow was grappled and pulled in for an apparent meet and greet.
"Suit yourself" Jhera said. "Let me help you with that!" Jhera pushed the pony into the tree and strolled through the poison joke leisurely as if it were a field of lilies. Suddenly, his face crinked and his eyes bulged. He looked back in his bag to see that he had eaten the pill which causes hightened vision. "Oh CELESTIA NO!" he wailed. He sprinted right out of the patch, but due to his reckless exposure and inhalation of the plant, it began to take effect on him. Jhera checked himself over and, sure enough, he was completely and totally obese. "Well," he said, "this isn't awkward at all..." he waddled up to the tree and looked up. "I'm gonna have to go around, I can't get up there in this state. Meet you on the other side." He continued his awkward and arduous hobbling around to the right of the patch.
Dark Shine hated not being able to fly. "Ok... Lets do this..." Dark Jumped from branch to branch until he fell. "Phew." He looked back to see Jhera had left but he made it to the other side. "Where did that pony go?" Dark slowly trotted of. "Almost there... Almost there...."
He finally reached the other end of the patch, breathing monstrously and sweating profusely. "I'm not...used to...this sort...of weight..." he gasped. "These purple...dots aren't...good for...my appearance...either..." He collapsed in the spot he was in, overcome by the poison. Well wasn't this pathetic! He hated getting struck by poison joke, but he found it so fascinating! Not a good combination. He looked around, but couldn't see the pegasus anywhere. 'Well...' he thought, 'I don't think he'll mind if I just sort of sleep for a bit' and he passed out on the grass he was on, snoring pretty loudly.
Dark trotted a bit forward coming to the Grove at last. He knew what he needed. "What happened to that pony? I might as well grab some for thier troubles." Dark picked up a bag full of the flowers eating a couple of them to recover strentgh. He the went back to the batch of Poison Joke only to find the now fat pony collapsed by the plants. "Could've sworn you were smaller..." Dark slipped some of the goldbelle into Jhera's mouth reversing the effects.
Jhera woke up with a start. "WHA-" He exclaimed, until he noticed he was standing normally. He looked at his body, to find the effects of the poison joke completely gone. "Oh! It's off already?" he turned to Darkshine. "Thanks, whatever you did, you fixed the poison joke problem." He looked at what Dark was carrying, and smiled. "That must be goldbelle, isn't it? Perfect! I'll just take some and we'll be on our way!" He picked some flowers, and extracted the seeds from a few others. When he was sure he was done, he picked up his satchel and headed back out of the forest. "C'mon!" he said. "Don't want to be stuck here too long! To be honest, this forest is starting to give me the creeps..."
Snow collasped onto her apartment bed, it was a very FILLING day, and by filling, she meant literally. That pony Pinkie Pie ad her eat every treat under Celestia's sun and then some. Her stomach bulged comically from all that she ate, she moaned and tryed to sleep it off.
"I agree with you Jhera. That is your name right?" Dark got up of the floor where he was picking flowers. "Now then... Lets see if I cant just fly us over the Poison joke..." Dark Shine grabbed Jhera and began to flap his slightly fixed wings. They took of slowly but when they made it high enough to make even a glide over Dark Hovered over the Poison Joke, to a point where any lower and they would be affected. "We are there... We made it! I did it! I flew again!" Dark let Jhera down at the entrance. "Thank you. I cannot thank you enough! I shall see you around!" Dark Shine flew higher. "Oh before I go... If you need anything I'll be there." And with that he flew of faster than he was when he caused the injury.
He looked after the pegasus, a little stunned. 'I thought most pegasi couldn't hold anypony but themselves up...' he thought. This pony must be very exceptional! He was glad that he now had a new acquaintance whom he could go to if he had anything needed. A little tired from the day's work, Jhera headed off home where he could rest up a bit.
