The Nature Gazer

[In Pudgyville...]

"What a nice day today. Of course, it's what's thriving during the day that most excites me," remarked Cutie Steps before walking outside.

"Who's she? I've seen her in the window of her house before but never outside," asked Mocha.

"That's Cutie Steps. She's a nature lover," explained Ms. Sheila.

"Oh so she and Cactus Cathy might get along then," giggled Mocha.

"Maybe. Let's find out," replied Galapeño before the group walk over.

"Oh hi. I'm Cutie Steps. Who are all of you?" began Cutie Steps.

"I'm Mocha Cream and this is Galapeño, Ms. Sheila and Truffle Delight," replied Mocha.

"Nice to meet all of you. Have you watched nature today? It's beautiful," continued Cutie Steps.

"We generally love fat more, no offense," replied Mocha.

"Oh, I see. Well I love nature, butterflies, flowers, you name it. I'm always gazing out my window and just laying in the grass," added Cutie Steps.

"So what made you get fat?" asked Galapeño.

"Well of course I'm lazy but I also bring out snacks while watching and I guess it just piled on from there," shrugged Cutie Steps.

"What do you do when it rains though?" asked Mocha.

"I don't like rain. It ruins my day because I can't be outside. There are no birds chirping, the sky is gray and of course I'd get wet," complained Cutie Steps.

"Ah I see. You do it because it's peaceful, right?" questioned Ms. Sheila.

"Yes I do. I don't do it at night because it's too dark to really see anything and fireflies don't do it for me," nodded Cutie Steps.

"Maybe you'd like Cactus Cathy then because she has her own cactus that she carries around with her," suggested Galapeño.

"I don't like cacti. They aren't very nice to be around," noted Cutie Steps.

"Yeah, we're not big on them either but she is," admitted Mocha.

"What do you guys do for fun if you're not into nature?" asked Cutie Steps.

"Well we go to Ms. Sheila's school and we have fun with each others' fat," explained Mocha.

"I don't have a friend to play with my fat though," sighed Cutie Steps.

"Want me to help you find one?" asked Sarah walking up.

"Who are you?" asked Cutie Steps.

"This is Sarah. She's literally a big help around here," answered Mocha.

"Hi, Sarah. I'd need a male pony that was into nature like me. Does this town have any?" requested Cutie Steps.

"Nope, sorry. I wish that were the case though. Cactus Cathy is really as close as you'd get and she's a female," replied Sarah.

"Well thanks anyway, Sarah," said Cutie Steps sadly.

"We can play with your fat if you want us to," assured Mocha.

"It wouldn't be the same," replied Cutie Steps before walking away.

"If we ever find one, we'll let you know," called Mocha.

"Thanks, Mocha," Cutie Steps called back.

"Wish there was something we could do to help her," said Galapeño.

"We should watch nature with her, just to show we care," suggested Ms. Sheila.

"Yeah, that's a good idea. If we all watch with her, maybe she'll feel better," agreed Mocha before she and the others rush over.

"Cutie Steps, can we watch nature with you?" asked Truffle.

"You want to? Why?" questioned Cutie Steps.

"We're your friends and we want to see how you see it," replied Mocha.

"Then let's watch together," announced Cutie Steps. [Half an hour later...]

"Nature is beautiful," concluded Mocha.

"Especially when you do it with friends," thought Cutie Steps.
