"yeah that'd be good." Sam said. "if your'e too tire tomorow me and my friends can set everything up and then the next day we can start it. would you be able to publicise it?" he asked. if they were going to get enough money in, there needed to be quite a few kids at the event. |

"Yes, I can do that!" She assured with a smile. "But, right now I need to get showered a dressed. I'll see you later." She said lightly before turning to press a kiss to the little ponies soft muzzle but she got more of a bonk to the nose, which made her smile. "And goodbye to you too." She said in a sarcastic tone to Sam before walking back to her cabin. |

"see you later." Sam said, scratching the Ponies forehead before turning off and walking back to his own cabin. it was about 4 AM so he fit in an extra 2 hours of sleep. He awoke feeling fatigues but still fresh, and brushed his teeth. Then he heard the sound of a crunch of gravel on the driveway, and he walke outside to see Will, Jack and Suzie. After they exchanged greetings, they set to wok. Suzie was given the job of preparing the Ruin Raffle, and she gathered prizes and made tickets. Jack was setting up the obstacle course, Will was painting and nailing and screwing and sawing to make stalls and a big sign fo the event. And Sam made sure everything was going smoothly, helping them all out. |

Ellie slept for hours on end, and didn't seem to wake up until early after noon. She got herself showered and dressed but didn't eat anything, as she felt a little woozy, like she had been very exited for something, or nervous. Then she remembered the night before and puffed out. She made her way out into the yard, only to see Sam and his friends working away. She offered a smile to them and went to sort out the horses feed and stalls before bringing a couple in. |

Sam smiled back, turning back to his job. They had finished painting a huge sign saying "Fund-Raising Pony Camp!" and had fixed it over the enterance to the large field. Next they decorated the place with baloons, and set up some activities. The yard manager had agreed to lend them 5 school ponies for the day, plus Nero and Frost, and ponies some kids would bring. "any updates on publicity?" Sam asked Ellie, wiping sweat from his brow and taking a gulp of cool water. |

"When I went to sleep, I posted on a few sites, so so far there are about 10 kids that are definitely going to come... But I'm not too sure about any more. I'll check later on to see if there's any new entries." She assured him with a small smile. "But that's a lot for only a few hours." She added quickly, dropping her gaze for a moment. "You guys look like you're working hard." She said picking her eyes up again, smiling to Sam's friends thankfully. She then turned back to Sam with a light nod, "I'll come and help you as soon as I'm done," She promised solemnly. |

"great." Sam said, setting the water bottle back down on the grass. "yesh were just taking a beak now, having something to eat." and with that he took out some more olives and bread, and scoffed them down in about 3 seconds. |

Ellie nodded and offered one more small smile, "Alright then, I'll see you in a little bit." She said lightly before disappearing back into the barn. She wasn't in there for long, but while she was, she was just sitting in the stalls with Ruin, teasing him with a long strand of hay as he tried to smack his lips around it. She wanted to laugh at the little guy, but she eventually gave in and let him snatch it out of her hands. |

- "bye" Sam said, Smiling a little and striding back into the field to find his friends munching on their lunch. He flopped down beside them will said "so whats the deal with this Ellie girl then?" he said, a hint of cheekiness in his voice. "nothing, Ellie's a friend." Sam said flatly. Will had a very..teasing character that Sam knew all too well. After a while they all got up and worked for another hour, brfore stepping back to admire their handiwork. the field was now covered in baloons, signs, plastic obstacle cones and barrels, and general pony things. |

(Aw, that's so sweet! The one thing I noticed was that the bunny on the horses back had a very square bottom. Other that that it's so good! :D) After a while, Ellie reappeared from the barn and relief that no matter if they managed to get the money or not, the little pony was fine. As she walked back out as seen all the work everyone had done, she felt a little bad that she hadn't helped as much as she would of, but she was busy taking pictures of Ruin to help out with the cause. She walked out to the side of the small group, taking in the interesting scene as well. After a moment, she turned her head to Sam, looking as though she had forgotten something, "Happy Birthday, by the way," She said with a small smile, "I forgot to say it earlier," Ellie noted with a small laugh. |
