Maple Sap
A little to late
Burch Wood
Hi there... have you seen Maple? She forgot something at my house.
Mint Tree
She was gathering material from the forest and came in ten minutes ago.
Maroon
You better catch up to her before she goes back into the forest.
Mint Tree
Because finding her is impossible after that.
Burch smilled and thanked them before trotting off.
Burch Wood
That mare is some else.
Vanilla Blend
Haven't met a pony quiet like her, huh?
Burch's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly turned towards the voice.
Burch Wood
Stop sneaking up on me like that. It’s not good for a pony's heart.
Vanilla Blend
Sorry... I just couldn't resist.
Vanilla turned her attention to the bag on Burch's back.
Vanilla Blend
Are those yours?
Burch Wood
These are Maple's books. I asked to borrow them a good while back, and I was supposed to return them yesterday, but...
Burch Wood
I ended up falling asleep, and she left without taking them. She is always running off like that for some reason.
Missing Zing
Vanilla wasn’t really happy that Burch was only thinking about Maple and pouted.
Vanilla Blend
If you want... I can drop it off at her place for you.
Burch Wood
That would be nice, but i prefer to drop it myself, since I am responsible for it.
Vanilla's cheerful expression faded a bit, and Burch, seeing this decided to ask her if she wants to come along.
Vanilla's eyes widened when she that and happily trotted beside him.
Vanilla Blend
What exactly did you need the Maple's books anyway?
Burch Wood
I am working on a new type of ale that my dad could sell in his bar. So far, everything I made tasted as if it was lacking something.
Burch Wood
Exactly! The ale is made was missing the zing that other ale and ciders have.
Burch pulled out one of the books from his bag.
Burch Wood
I was hoping that the answer for this problem would be in Maple's research books about the nearby forest.
Sudden appearance
Vanilla Blend
Did you find what you was looking for?
Burch Wood
Not even close.
A small blush appeared on Vanilla's face when she heard this because this was her chance to ask him out.
Maple Sap
What are you guys doing here?
Burch Wood
Came by to drop the books you forgot to take with you.
Maple Sap
Oh yeah... I am very sorry about that. I had to go because something important came up.
Vanilla's turned her attention towards Maple and glared at her. Her chance to ask Burch out was now gone because of Maple's sudden appearance.
Burch took off the saddlebag he had on and dropped it onto Maple's back. He thought it would be too heavy for her, but the weight didn't seem to affect her.
Burch Wood
I should really be the one thanking you, you know?
Maple Sap
You don’t have to, because that's what any friend would do. Did you find what you were looking for in them?
Burch Wood
No, but I get the feeling that I am getting very close to the answer.
