Honey Jade noticed the butterfly and blinked, curious. Finally, she did what Sholazar wanted her to do. She followed the pretty butterfly.

Sholazar sighed softly to himself. "Finally." He zipped their personal time ahead a bit. He loved dream logic that made them all accept the feeling of having walked for hours.
Maira blinked and looked back at Sokka. "Sokka?" she said in a small scared voice.
"Yes, flower of my heart?" Sokka asked in a honey coated voice.
"What happened to your friend?" she asked, seeming alarmed.
"My... HONEY JADE?!" Sokka asked wide eyed, looking around from her.
Sholazar grinned. "Scream all you like, she's too far away to hear you." He hesitated then peeked in on Honey Jade to be sure that was the case.

Honey Jade had abandoned the butterfly and started climbing a tree to get a better view of the world around her.

"I don't see her," Maira said, shaking.
Sokka shook his head, alarmed. How could this have happened? Honey Jade? Bright energetic Honey Jade lost alone in this forest? The forest didn't stand a chance! That thought set him back a bit and he blinked, calming down some. Still, the forest gave him chills, and he didn't want to imagine what could be happening to her, lost and alone. He looked down into the grass, trying to see any sign of her passing, but the dense fog around their feet had thickened.
"Let's try this way?" Maira suggested.
Sokka nodded and followed her. He knew they were getting further from the wizard, and he wanted very much to help Maira, and not just because she was stunning. However, Honey Jade was his friend first, and he felt responsible for her. He was just thankful that Maira understood. She really was a gem, Maira. All they had to do was find a cure for her curse and she'd be.... be what? He wondered. Perfect? Some one he could fall in love with? He wasn't sure. His emotions were all a jumble. He pushed them aside as best he could. He had to find Honey Jade first. Free Maira second. Get them out of this wood... then he could think about how he felt. And in the bargain, a possible home for him and Honey Jade, with lots of other girls for her to play with. Those poor girls. He shook his head again and blinked as he realized that there was a huge bolder in their path. the narrow trail they were on split to either side of it. "Which way do you think she might have gone?" he asked, his fear making it hard for him to form words at all.
"I.. don't know..." Maira said softly. "Maybe... We should split up to look for her?"
"I don't think that's such a great idea...." Sokka said, unsure.
"But if we both go down the same path and it's the wrong one..." She said, shuddering lightly.
Sokka shuddered as well. "But... If you find her and I'm not there."
Pain flashed in Maira's eyes. "You think I'd hurt her?" she whispered, tears forming in her eyes.
"What?" Sokka asked alarmed. "No! No, not at all. I'm afraid she might hurt you, however, oh china doll. She likes to tackle people from behind without warning. I did not wish you to come to harm at her exuberance. She does not realize that some ladies are more delicate then she is."
Maira flushed lightly. "I'll stay where you can hear me then, and if I find her, I'll call out, alright?" she asked softly.
"If.. if you're sure..."
"Oh I'm not, " she said. "I'm scared to go alone... but to find your friend.. we must both be brave... right?" she said, wide eyed.
"Ri...right..." sokka said, but found himself talking to her tail as she took the right fork. He looked down the left fork and swallowed hard. He was alone. In the dark scary forest... he was alone.
Maira walked down the path quietly. She looked around for Honey Jade, winding up right under her tree.
Sholalzar grinned, and because it amused him, made sure that no one could hear a sound made in that area, save for the two in it. This was going to be fun.

Honey Jade blinked when she saw her then grinned. Oh, this was going to be fun. With a squealed, "Bonzai!" she pounced down on the other pony.

Maira cried out in alarm at Honey Jade's yell, and crumpled to the ground as she got landed on. whimpering slightly. Her eyes fluttered, as though keeping them open had become quite difficult.

Honey Jade bounced off her and peered at her. "Aw... don't tell me you break that easily..."

Maira's head hit the ground and her eyes closed for a moment. Then her body went stiff. Her eyes opened and she lept to her feet. She reached out, cat quick and grabbed Honey Jade's mane, pulling her close roughly.

Honey Jade yelped in pain and kicked out, managing to scramble away a bit. But rather than be afraid or run she...laughed. Yes, she laughed. "Oh! You wanna wrestle?"

Sholazar made a small scream of frustration. If he had a cap, it would be in his mouth at the moment. Did NOTHING scare this child?!
Maira's eyes narrowed as she lunged at Honey Jade again. She was fast, and despite how frail she seemed, she was strong. She reached for the baby's hair again.

Laughing, Honey Jade scrambled out of her way. She was just a baby, after all, so she lacked grace but she was quick and she was a small target. She danced around Maira before tackling her from behind, bopping her on the head then bouncing away again "Point one for me!"

Rage seemed to fill her as she lunged again, desperately trying to grab a hank of hair, anything she could wrap around her hoof to pin the brat.

And Honey Jade just continued dodging her, bouncing around her, tapping her whenever she could get away with it.

Maira gave a scream of rage.
Sholazar twitched, frustrated. He made a rock wind up right under foot to trip Honey Jade.

The rock worked and with a startled yelp, Honey Jade went down.
