Luna readies herself on the balcony looking at the moon. It was almost time to lower it. Just a few minutes left then Celestia would raise the sun and creatures would go around doing their daily errands, except there were already some creatures who were awake.

     "Woohoo!" Smolder yells, flying to one of her best friends' room.

    "Hey, Ocellus! I got permission to go camping with you guys!" she says to her friend energetically. Ocellus looks up from her packing and smiles.

      "That's great! Let's go get Yona and Sandbar. Do you have your things?" Ocellus asks. Smolder turns around and pats the backpack she is wearing. They both nod then go out of the room, heading towards the rooms of their other friends.

     They arrive at Silverstream's room.

     "Hi, Silverstream! Are you ready to go?" Ocellus asks. Silverstream beams from her bed.

     "You bet!" she exclaims as she hops out of bed. She grabs a wagon from the back of her room and pulls it towards them.

     "That's a lot of things. You sure you aren't overpacking?" Smolder asks, "It's just ONE day"

     "I would never overpack! It's just that, after hiding from the Storm King in Seaquestria, we Hippogriffs know what to pack!" Silverstream says. Smolder rolls her eyes.

      "Whatever. Let's go get Gallus" she says then flies out of the room. Ocellus and Silverstream trot out after her.

      Smolder aggressively bangs on the door of her friend and an annoyed Gallus opens the door, asking why Smolder had to bang on it when he installed a doorknocker and ranting about needing sleep. Smolder dismisses everything and asks Gallus if he packed yet. Gallus nods and they go to get Sandbar. Once they arrive at the said friend's room, though, he was nowhere in sight.

      "I think I have a hunch where he is" Gallus says. He leads his friends through the School of Friendship and stops abruptly in front of a familiar door.

     "But that's Yona's room!" Ocellus says, "Why would he be there?"

     Gallus smirks. "Just trust me" he says, then opens the door. Ocellus' eyes widens. Gallus' hunch was right after all. Smolder fakes a vomit. Silverstream just gives an indifferent shrug.

     Sandbar and Yona were snuggling together in the middle of a pile of luggages.

     "Seriously!?" Smolder asks, "Do you want me to lose my breakfast? And who overpacked?"

Yona and Sandbar's eyelids flutters open at the sound of her voice. Yona, still sleepy, lets out a yawn. Sandbar, meanwhile, looks at his friends and starts panicking.

"L-l-look! I-I can e-explain. I was helping Yona pack but then we felt sleepy and-"

Smolder cuts Sandbar short. "Look, we don't care about your love story, okay? Let's just head to White Tail Woods"

They arrived at White Tail Woods during noon started setting up their tents. After arranging logs around the non-lit bonfire and setting up their tents, they exchange ideas on what activity to do.

"Let's plant trees! I brought a bunch of seeds. Or maybe we could write poems! I brought pens and paper" Sandbar suggests.

"This is camp, not class" Gallus says, "Besides, why do that when we can explore the forest"

"Why don't creatures try smashing logs?" Yona asks.

"Because we'd rather use them to make something" Smolder says.

"Why not use some color pencils then?" Silverstream asks.

"Guys, please stop arguing. Let's just go through things one by one. Let's start with Smolder's" Ocellus says. Everyone begrudgingly agreed.

They found themselves building a replica of the School of Friendship with rocks.

"Gallus! That flag doesn't go there! It goes here" Ocellus points to a tower that she was working on, gestured to the tower Gallus was working on, and a mini flag that Smolder, for some reason, brought with her.

"This is actually really fun!" Silverstream exclaims, trying to recreate the waterfall that framed their school.

"After friends work on replica, may friends smash replica?" Yona asks.

"Sure. Nocreature else will see this anyway" Smolder says, which is exactly what they did later.

"So, Yona who's idea do you want to try next?" Smolder asks.

    "Sandbar, what does Pony want to do?" Yona asks.

     "Let's plant trees!" Sandbar says. "And make poems"

      Sandbar distributes the seeds he brought to his friends. Smolder's eyes furrowed.

     "And you expect us to plant these with our bare claws?" Smolder asks. All her friends look at her with wide eyes.

     "Got a problem with that, Smolder?" Gallus asks, teasing, but also genuinely intrigued. Smolder is usually the adventurous one of the group, so it felt odd that she wasn't looking forward to planting trees. Yona even tries handling her seeds with care for once.

     "Of course I have no problem!" Smolder exclaims. Gallus raises hiis eyebrows but decides not to question her even further and continues digging his hole. Smolder lets out a grunt and glares at each of her friends, who were all busy with their own trees. Smolder groans.

     "This is fun! There's no better feeling than dirt in your claws! And I'm so excited to see what my tree turns into!" Silverstream says.

     "Eugh" Smolder says, but nocreature seems to notice her. Her eyes flash dangerously and she continued to plant the seed using more force than Yona.

     Once they patted earth back into their holes, covering their seeds, Sandbar distributed pens and paper to write poems.

    "Finally something I can enjoy a little bit more" Smolder murmurs as she writes a poem about flavorful aromas of tea wafting through the air.

    Yona writes a poem about what makes Yaks the best, which if you ask, is everything. Ocellus writes a poem called A Breeze in the Leaf. Gallus even bothers writing a poem with the title of Great Things in Land and Sea. Sandbar enthusiastically works on his own poem challenging the status quo. Silverstream, however, is feeling bored and just sketched on her paper.

      Everyone takes turns sharing their poems and when Silverstream is called on, she smiles sheepishly and shows her paper with a sketch of a river. Sandbar shakes his head.

     "Oh, well. What's next?" Sandbar asks.

"You decide. There's just Gallus, Silverstream and my idea left" Ocellus says.

"Exploring the forest sounds fun" Sandbar says.

"Wise choice" Gallus says and he flies up into the air, doing a triple flip then heading into the forest.

Smolder goes to Ocellus and explores with her. Ocellus is so excited nd points out every species of plant and creature she can see. Smolder just gives an indifferent shrug and flies alongside her. Silverstream just happily flies in random directions pointing out new things.

"Is that a poison joke tree?" Silverstream says, flying to a tree with red orange flowers, not blue like poison joke.

"That's dragon sneeze!" Smolder exclaims, before letting out a big sneeze, setting parts of the ground on fire.

Yona, meanwhile, is busy scanning the ground looking for the perfect smashing log. Sandbar is trotting to Celestia-knows-where.

Luna stands on her balcony in Canterlot and nods to Celestia, who is on her own balcony. Celestia nods back and begins to lower the sun.

The sunset cast a beautiful toned shade of orange on the forest, which catches Gallus' eye.

"Hey, guys! It's sunset! Let's head back to camp!" Gallus shouts as he flies back.

The six friends meet back around the non-lit bonfire and by that time, Celestia already lowered the sun and Luna raised the moon. Smolder lights the bonfire to provide light. Ocellus asks what to do next. Silverstream happily pulls out paper and other art materials from her wagon.

"Let's draw!" she exclaims.

Smolder tries to copy the bonfire. Silverstream sketches a picture of the poison joke tree she encountered that afternoon. Yona draws a drawing of the perfect smashing log, which she found. Gallus sketches a drawing of a creature that will haunt your nightmares which could be found in this very forest. He chuckled to himself though his monster looks like a combination of scribbles. Ocellus draws a picture of a forest skillfully.

     "Ooh! That's nice!" Silverstream says as she leans over to admire Ocellus' finished work.

     "So is yours! Your shading is way better than mine" Ocellus says, "But it's time for my idea now. Story telling with s'mores! Silverstream, did you bring the s'mores I asked you to bring?"

    "Yup!" Silverstream beams and races to her wagon to get them.

     After a sad story from Smolder, Silverstream comes up with a story about a quest to save a long lost brother. Yona's tale of an adventure with a lively family is followed by a story of mystery from Ocellus. Gallus uses the bonfire to create shadows to aid him in his horror story. Sandbar tells a romantic tale which makes his friend (Gallus) gag.

     
      Another round of s'mores is taken and the friends went into their tents to sleep.
     
     Smolder looks around her gray tent, which was cluttered with cute and silly stuff, then back to her sleeping bag which was harder than stone. It had been such a hassle to carry it all the way here but once she lies down, she knows it was worth it.

    Ocellus arranges her books in her green tent with a pattern of leaves then turns of her lantern. She lies down in her light blue sleeping bag and sleeps.

    Yona bounces on her unusually bouncy sleeping bag. Her brown tent is bigger than the rest to provide room for her smashing.

     Sandbar feels the earth rumble beneath his hooves. He smiles. Yona is bouncing on her bed again. He sits up and adjusts the picture of him and his friends. He lies back down in his green sleeping bag and looks at the gap in his violet tent. The gap is recently made so when he camps, he can see the stars and the moon which Luna raised.

     Silverstream is still awake, sketching in her sketchbook which she brought. Her sea-foam-turquoise-tent, too, was bigger than the rest of her friends' to make way for her wagon. Silverstream admires her recent sketch of her and her friends around a campfire in the middle of the forest and lies down on her pink sleeping bag.

      Gallus' blue tent is small, since he is too poor to provide for anything too flashy. He lies down in his yellow sleeping bag and sleeps.

     The next day, Celestia stands on her balcony, as well as Luna. Luna lowers the moon and Celestia raises the sun. The morning call of the rooster signals the start of a new day. The six friends wake up.
