Dex and Cloud hung out for a bit but eventually went back to their rooms. They did very similar things that they did the previous night, except Cloud had something else to think about after what Dex told him. He was mulling it over, but didn't know if he'd go along with it yet.
In the morning Cloud was way more tired then Daring after practice, showing signs of just how much more in shape Daring was. He pushed through, however, and felt better for it. Dex focused on his notepad and the rest of his classes for now.

After school Daring was once again the first under the tree, sleeping again.

Unlike yesterday, Cloud and Dex walked up to the tree with each other, talking as they did. When they noticed daring they walked up quietly, "Oh, come on Daring. Did you really pull another all nighter? I'm going to have to teach you how to study late without losing yourself the next day." He said and put his hoof on her nose, just holding it there. Dex decided not to be a part of it and found a spot under the tree where he just relaxed in the shade.

"Nope!" Daring said grabbing Cloud's hoof. "Gotcha!" She jumped up. "I'm actually feeling very energetic. Although I suspect that will wear off before the day is done." She laughed.

Cloud nearly jumped out of his skin, and Dex was rather surprised himself. Cloud tried to jump back, but didn't go far since Daring had his hoof. "Alright, you nearly gave me a heart attack, but it's nice to see you awake." Cloud said, trying to pull his hoof free.

Daring let go of Cloud's hoof with a laugh. "What's so funny?" Tor asked as the other three showed up to join them.

"Daring's trying to dance with me." Cloud said, taking a seat on the other side of Dex.

"What's wrong with that?" Tor asked. "Nothing." Daring said. "Unless Cloud is too embarrassed to dance."

"Can't promise I won't step on you. I've never taken a formal dance class." Cloud said with a grin.

"As an adventurer risks are part of my life." Daring said. "So come on, show me what you've got. You brought this on yourself." Daring held out her hoof.

"I wouldn't want to lose face, would I." Cloud said, standing up and taking Daring's hoof, "I did warn you. Watch your hooves."
OOC: This escalated quickly. I'm not even sure what dance to do.

ooc: that's what happens when messing with Daring. "I'll be sure to send the doctor's bill to you." Daring said as she let Cloud take her hoof. The other looked on as this was turning out to be very entertaining.

OOC: Cloud will learn his lesson eventually. BIC: Dex started to whistle a tune, slow but steady and rhythmic, almost as though to give them something to dance to. Cloud took this as his que, though in his head he was rolling his eyes at Dex, and started to dance something. He kept it simple and tried to maintain a deal of space between him and Daring, really not wanting to step on her hooves or something along those lines. He figured with Daring's confidence, she must know what she was doing and be able to take the lead on this.

Tor automatically started humming along with Dex when she got a gist of the tune. Daring chuckled when she felt how easy Cloud was taking it. "Come on Cloud. What are you afraid of? I'm not going to bite, yet. Are you going to dance or just sway around hoping your grass dance will catch on?"

"I don't know, I this my grass dance will be a hit sensation someday." He said with a smile, staying in his safe zone for now. He really didn't know what he was doing and inside regretted calling Daring's bluff.

"If it hasn't caught on in the last five hundred years I'm sure it's not going to start now." Daring said. "I thought you plains ponies had festivals with dancing and frolicking, Plains Pony." She stuck her tongue out in an attempt to provoke him to take charge.

"Ah, but this isn't folk dance music now is it." Cloud said and Dex immediately switched to a more folk sounding backdrop. Cloud squinted and grinned on. "Try and keep up. We used to dance this in the fall." Cloud said and his beat completely changed as he matched the music with a hop and a skip back and forth and side to side. There was an overarching pattern to it, and it was similar to line dancing, but his moves formed a big circle as he literally danced circles around Daring.

It didn't take long for Daring to start matching Cloud as she started getting a hang of the pattern. Tor even started stomping her hooves to the beat now.

One moment lead to the next and Daring and Cloud were dancing away in the shadow of the tree, with their musical accompaniment Tor and Dex. Cloud was really getting into the song as he remembered all the fun his friends and him used to have around this time of year.

The moment was almost magical as everypony got caught up in it and they almost didn't notice the whirring sound as a large metal object came flying at them.

Cloud and Dex were far too taken into the moment to give the sound any notice, Cloud lost in his memories and Dex whistling loudly.

The large metal object traveled through the air and only Mithrel noticed. "Look out!" She shouted as she jumped up, but the object had already hit the ground with a loud crash and skidded to a halt, leaving a large scar in the short kept grass that stopped just in front of the group. Tor was the only one that reacted after Mithrel's yell and that was to jumped in front of the rest of the group. Maybe to try and stop it or just protect the others, not even she knew for sure as it happened completely out of instinct.

Cloud jumped back from the sound and the sight was made even more scary when he bashed into Daring. Dex had dive behind the tree when the event happened.

Daring rubbed her head after tumbling to the ground with Cloud. "What's going on?" She asked confused. Ever tried to push herself as low to the ground as she could. Mithrel had a furious aura coming from her stoic expression. A pony's head wearing a helmet popped out of the crashed metal. "Mith! I blasted all the way just to see you!" Came its happy sounding voice. "Copper! You idiot!" Mith picked up a piece of metal and threw it at her brother's head.

Dex peaked out from behind the tree and Cloud rolled over onto his hooves while things settled down, "What the heck happened?" Cloud said, rubbing his own head from tumbling over.

"Hi Ever!" Copper greeted her as if nothing had happened. "Hi Copper." Ever answered still shaken up. Mith started pulling at Copper, but he mostly did the work of getting out of the metal contraption. "What do you think you're doing?" "I told you! I flew all the way here from home, just to see you." "These are school trash bins and a school sign and school fence." Mith said pointing them out from the wreck. "You build this over here." "I never could fool you Mith." Copper rubbed Mith's mane. "Um, Mith?" A confused Tor nodded towards the newcomer. Mith sighed. "This is my brother Copper." "You must be Tornado!" Copper interrupted. "Everypony is talking about you. It's great to meet you!" "Okay?"

Dex walked up beside Cloud, having not met any of Mith's brothers. Cloud had regained his bearings and looked to Dex with a shrug, "Another of Mith's brothers I venture."

"You!" Copper said throwing his hands out at Dex. "You must be Cloud!" He grabbed Dex around the shoulder in a tight bear hug. "Gold told me about you, you're taller than I imagined. We should have a colt to colt, like, right now."

"Not... Cloud..." Dex said between deep breaths as he was being hugged. Cloud took a step back before speaking. "That would be me." He said, not wanting Dex to keep being squeezed, though he didn't want to be swept up himself.

"Oh!" Copper said letting go. "You're not that short either and closed in on Cloud with another bear hug." "Copper! You're embarrassing me!" Mith told him. "Come on Mith! I'm just saying hi to your friends." Daring laughed. "If I had a brother, I wouldn't mind if he was like you. The name's Daring Do." "It's nice to meet you too." Copper answered her. "Hey Mith, you're making a lot of friends. Mom and Dad's going to be happy hearing that."
