OoC: Pssh, you description posers. Let me show you how it's done! =P
IC: Dec watched as White chased Pinkie around the fire. The fire was the main source of light, and with it's constant flickering, it sent shadows dancing on all the ponies. Everypony seemed so peaceful, even though they were in the middle of the Everfree forest, at night. You know, Dec thought, Our little group has come so far, and we now mean so much to each other. It really makes you want to stop and think.
Applejack seemed to be having a great time, as a group of friends around a fire, playing games was really her kind of thing. Pinkie, as anypony could tell, was having an all out blast, a pink blur around the fire. Rainbow Dash was sitting off to the side, her eyes were closed, as if she was sleeping. Even so, a slight smile rested on her peaceful face. The firelight lit up her rainbow mane, making it shine in all the perfect ways. Rarity had a brush out, and was repeatedly stroking her tail, until it glittered like the stars themselves. Fluttershy sat off to the side, surrounded by a group of forest animals, bunnies and birds snuggling in her mane. Content, she whispered to the animals. Even Twilight appeared to be enjoying herself, even with the lack of books to tell her how to have fun around a fire.
White had an interesting look on his face. As he chased Pinkie around the fire, he seemed content for once, and after all the worrying, it was probably a good thing. Shade had walked off. I wonder where he went… Dec thought to herself. She also noticed Love, sitting off to one edge. "I wonder what has her all tied up…" Dec said to herself, unable to think anymore. Standing up, she trotted over.
When she reached Love, the fire was too far away to cast an impact on them. The full light of the stars shone down, illuminating the treetops, and lighting up Love's face. "You know," Dec began, "Something has you bothered. I can tell." Dec sighed, the kind of sigh that's halfway between a sigh and a chuckle, and continued. "We started out, what was it, a few months ago?, not knowing each other at all. And look at us now. We've been through it all, braving Griffons, Dragons, falling Buildings, Buffalos, crazy shadows, and who knows what else. We've lost so many ponies along the way, Crash…" a tear started to roll down Dec's cheek. "She will be remembered. But you know what? I'm so happy that I could choose to finish the journey with you three, Shade, White, and you. We make an impeccable team. A team of friends, bound together until the ends of imagination. And that makes me believe that Friendship really is magic. I realize that I've been ranting on, but we've been through so many changes, so much drama, adventure, and more, that…" Tears started to flow freely from Dec's eyes; they hit the ground with a splash, staining the forest floor underneath. "You know, I never had any friends before this. After my rejection in Cloudsdale, I really thought my life was over. There was nothing left. But, you, all of you, Love…" Dec paused. "I don't even know how to finish that. But I want to say, thank you. I don't know why I told you all that, but hey, that's where my mind took me, I guess."
