[FIN - Laughter] Fountain Fishing (Swamp Net + Spick n Span)

[Huni Pi]

Swamp was excited. Oh boy was he excited. His momma said he and his sister could go explore all by themselves!!! Okay so she did say they had to stay in Phony City and that they had to be back before dark.

But dark wasn't for forever as far as the little earth colt was concerned and he had his sister with him. It certainly helped that Spick was considered to be the more responsible sibling, buuuuuut considering Swamp's excitable nature, practically anyone was more responsible than him. Which, in the long run, didn't really matter to him.

"C'mon, sis! C'mon, c'mon, c'moooooooooooon!!!!" he called out as he cantered ahead, stopping to trot back in making sure he was still in Spick n Span's line of sight.

The colt just grinned at his sister, "I dunno!" he answered with an air of confidence and a distinct glint of mischief in his eyes. "We're gonna go down streets we didn't go down before! Maybe we can even find secret fountains!" he babbled excitedly. The idea of "discovering" such a thing was always a lovely thought, even if the possibility of it was very small.

"But we gotta make sure we get home before dark 'cuz you know how momma gets," he chuckled wryly.

Of course he'd disagree, he'd never found proof to the contrary. But that could very well be because his siblings had a better grasp of the consequences to their actions beyond getting scolded by their parents that is. At his sister's acknowledgment of his role of leader, no, Swamp, that's not technically what she meant the earth colt's grin widened so much it was a wonder his face hasn't split in two.

He cantered on ahead, going down well-established routes before deciding last minute to change up their usual paths and swerving into an alley. "C'mon, slow poke!" he teased over his shoulder. Only to stumble over some fallen trashcans and falling head over hooves in the process.

The spill had left him a little dizzy, and it was visible in the way his eyes comically rolled in his head. He shook himself clear but he was still flat on his back, hooves up in the air and covered in an assortment of garbage. All that was left to complete the look were flies but thankfully it was mostly dry wrappers and leaflets.

"Never better!" He declared with a grin, then had the good sense to look sheepish as he motioned with one leg, "But um, mebbe you could help me up?"

Swamp righted himself with the help of his sister and he shook himself, less to clean up and more to gather his bearings. "Yup! Loads better!" he answered and turned to find Tidy examining herself for any possible speck of dirt. "You need a mirror? I can buff up the trashcan for you," he teased, his tail swishing towards the fallen trash bin.

Swamp quirked a questioning brow at his sister, a smirk playing on his lips. "Is that soooooo?" Mischief twinkled in his eyes as he sauntered up to an upright trashcan, his fore-hoof resting against it. "You're reaaaaaally not worried about getting dirty?"

He wasn't going to topple the can over, was he? Of course not, he'd never do anything like that to his sister. Or would he? Maybe almost tip it over and leave everything else to gravity.

Swamp tilted his head and "Hmmmm..."'d. He seemd to be contemplating his sister's words very seriously, the look on his face was of unusual intense concentration. It was a stalemate, even Swamp could see that. He didn't want to stay clean, not when there was so much he could find in fountains, and he knew his sister could not stand being dirty for too long either.

So what else could this be but a joke she was delivering in the best way possible? He burst out laughing, "Nice one, Tidy!"

The earth colt left the trash can well enough alone as he trotted up to her side, "C'mon, I remember seeing a fountain somewhere at the end of one of these streets. Those coins aren't gonna dredge themselves~" he said.

Swamp practically dove into the fountain, ignoring the looks some of the older phonies were giving him as he began sifting through the algae growing on the fountain's floor. There were some interesting tokens and the odd soda bottle cap and somehow this amused him more than anything. "Tidy! Tidy! C'mon and check these out!!" he called over.

We can probably wrap this up soon?
