Paper Pony

[That night at Bright Eyes' house…] *a storm approaches and lightning flashes all over the sky*

"What a storm," said Bright Eyes. I hope our clubhouse ends up being okay.

"We have a meeting in there tomorrow," said Starlight.

"This storm is truly not letting up at all," said Sweetheart.

"Only one way to find out," said Melody. Wait until morning. [The next day…]

"Look at our clubhouse!" said Bon Bon.

"It's been partially destroyed!" said Melody.

"What'll we do now?" asked Starlight.

"We'll need to fix it or get it fixed," said Bright Eyes. If we're going to fix it, we'll need wood and paint.

"We don't have any paint or wood," said Starlight. *the family living in the house come out*

"Oh no, your clubhouse is damaged," said their mother. I wish we could help but we don't have the money right now.

"Well, thanks anyway," said Bright Eyes. We'll need a plan to get our clubhouse repaired. Any ideas?

"I could get a job as a paper delivery pony," said Bon Bon.

"That'd work," said Melody.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" asked Starlight.

"Yeah," said Bon Bon. We need the money and it's good exercise. [Later that day…] I got the job!

"That's great," said Bright Eyes. When do you start?

"Tomorrow morning," said Bon Bon.

"Cool," said Melody. [The next morning…*Bon Bon gets on her bike and delivers the news paper*]

"Whew, this is hard work," said Bon Bon. Good thing it's not a school day. *she yawns, then heads back to her house to sleep* [At school the next day…] *she yawns*

"You look like you didn't get enough sleep last night," said Bright Eyes.

"I didn't get enough sleep this morning since I had to deliver papers," said Bon Bon.

"Well it'll be worth it when we get out clubhouse fixed," said Melody.

"Yeah, I guess you're right," said Bon Bon. *she yawns again*

"Good morning class," said Hackney walking in. Bon Bon, are you alright? You look tired.

"Yeah I was delivering papers today," said Bon Bon.

"Delivering papers?" questioned Hackney.

"It's to raise enough money to repair our clubhouse," said Bon Bon. It was damaged in last night's storm.

"Well that is is a shame," said Hackney. I do hope you raise enough to get it fixed.

"Me too," said Bo Bon. It's quite a job for me.

"Try to pay attention, okay, Bon Bon?" asked Hackney.

"Okay," sighed Bon Bon.

"Alright, class I'm going to return those quizzes you took a week ago," said Hackney. Do not look until I tell you to. *she passes out the quizzes* Alright, you can look now. *they turn over their quizzes* I have to say I'm impressed with all of you.

"A B?" said Bon Bon. Yes!

"I got an A," said Melody.

"Yes you all did so well despite my constant interruption to keep Stella, whom was here that week but I removed her for cheating several times," said Hackney. You all should be very proud of yourselves. [Later that week…]

"Finally our clubhouse is fixed," said Bright Eyes. Your work as a paper pony paid off, Bon Bon.

"Yeah, I guess it did," said Bon Bon.

"I call this meeting into our clubhouse," said Starlight. *the ponies rush in*

"Now for that important meeting," said Bright Eyes.

"What's it about?" asked Sweetheart.

"My family is considering moving," said Patch.

"Why would they want you to truly leave?" asked Sweetheart.

"They're trying to get a bigger house," said Patch. I don't want to leave, though, I've made so many new friends and Ms Hackney is a nice teacher. I'll have to start over on all of that.

"Have you tried reasoning with your parents?" asked Bright Eyes.

"Yeah but they wouldn't listen," said Patch.

"Well we'll show them plenty of reasons to not move," said Bright Eyes. We'll make sure Patch stays!
