There is yells of confusion, but it seems to have stopped their advance. The trio take the opportunity to put some distance between them. They don’t stop running until they hit the canyon wall. They quickly spot a crevice in the wall, and duck inside it. The cave goes about twenty feet in, and they huddle near the back.
Ruby points upwards and says, “Why didn’t we climb back up?”
“Can’t. The wasps are certainly searching for us now. They’d see the glow of my spell easily.” Joyride says, catching her breath.
Emerald asks if everything is alright. If Loupe and Nishan got away, and if they got the jelly.
“Yup on both counts. Mission successful. We got separated from the other two from part of the hive caving in. They got the goods so we need to find them again. We said we’d meet at a city to the south.” Joyride then turns to Ruby with a grin and says, “Why don’t you tell them what you did? You made your own little distraction for us, didn’t you?”
“S-shut up!” Ruby says, her face reddening in either anger and embarrassment, or perhaps both.
Emerald gives her a curious look.
The filly then crosses her forelegs and says gruffly,
“T-they thought I was a guy at first.”
Joyride chokes back some giggles. But Emerald understands. Emerald understands very well.
“So anyway, we are just gonna hang out for a while until the heat dies down, and then we’ll try to sneak our way south.” Joyride says changing the subject.
End of Chapter 44!
