Sam walke away from his horse and back to his cabin. he walked inside and got reay for bed, brushing his teeth and washing his face, he needed a good night's sleep for tomorrow's activities. after a while of reading in bed, he needed some air so he went outside on the porch. Closing his eyes, he took in a lungful of deep, fresh night air before opening his eyes and focusing on the stars above him in his head, he heard his Mother's imaginary voice. "see that star there? there is no other one like that. it's one in a million, just like you." and with those words echoing in his ears, sam went inside and fell into the world of dreams.

Ellie stayed out for hours before eventually wondering off to bed. When she woke up in the morning, she got up and made sure that everything was still up and ready before checking her lists. and closing the entries. There were loads of kids! Overwalmingly so. She puffed out and got all the horses ready for the day. A couple little ponies in the stable and a horse bigger horses in the paddocks.

Sam arose refreshed. He wandered outside after making himself Morse presentable, to see what to him looked like a small army of children chatting and running and leading ponies around. Once he had taken in the shock, he addressed them all. "Hey, kids! I'm Sam. Our first activities will be a hack out with the older ones and Ellie," he gestured at Ellie. And the rest of you come with me and learn to ride!" He said, before explaining all the rules and such. Once Sam and the children had had an hour and a half.of screams, laughs and pulling down stirrup leathers, he set them all free for lunch.

Ellie done as told and got all the slightly older ones on some of the bigger ponies and horses, and a few had brought their own horses. Ellie felt slightly out of place, as she was the only one in a western saddle, but she was getting a lot of questions. What did she do? was it easier to ride western? Is it more fun? So their hack was quite interesting, but of course there was a few mishaps. One of them started crying randomly because they were scared of the horse, so the who ride had to be pause while Ellie convinced them that it okay before they could continue on. By the time they had gotten back, Sam had left the kids off to lunch. Ellie made sure all the kids sorted out their horses before they ate, but soon after they were done she went to sit by Sam with a small huff.

"Didn't have a great time?" Sam asked, looking at her grumpy face and taking a bite of his sandwich. Apart from some.mishaps involving cheeky ponies, Sam and his lot of kids hadn't had it too badly. By the end of his session he had them all trotting bouncily around the arena.

"It wasn't good." She said with a pout, "But most of the kids enjoyed themselves. Apart from one that decided that they were scared of horses." She rolled her eyes as she opened up a box she had brought for herself with some ham sandwiches. But just as she picked up one, a small group of kids snatched the box from hands and ran away with it. She grumbled a little but let them have it. She could always go bet some more if she was really hungry.

Sam got up when he finished his sandwich, and walke over to a tree, reaching up and grabbing a box full of ham samwiches. kids. he thought. what is it with them and hidng random things in places. he walked back to Ellie and haned her the ham sandwiches. "they didnt even touch them, jut hid them." he said, puzzled.

"I used to do that when I was very young, just to be annoying," She replied, taking the box with an invisible smile. "Thank you," She breathed with furrowed brows. She took a look at the swarm of kids chatting and laughing, and a few chasing each other around in the sun. She shook her head with an extremely distant laugh, "Feel bad for the teachers." She stated quietly.

"no worries." Sam said, deciding on eating another sandwich. "god, so do i. utter chaos." He said, observing the small army of children running, crying,shouting and laughing around. "did you check up on Ruin?" he asked. after all, the whole reason for doing this pony club day was to help the little pony and pay for his operation.

"Yeah, he's okay for the moment, but I'm not sure I'd let these guys near him while he's still fragile." She pondered for a moment. "Apart from a few of the really little kids, they tend to listen more." She said lightly. "The man of the day is gonna have to make an appearance though, so they know this is really to help him."
