Motocross gripped the watering can in his teeth, pouring out its contents onto a small mound of soil. He and Flower Power had been assigned to take care of a plant for a school project; while less than thrilled about the task at hand, Motor was anxious to do well and impress his teacher.
Flower giggled. “You gotta wait and let nature take its course. My momma says that if you’re patient, the flower will be even prettier when it blooms!”
”Yeah, yeah…” Motor waved a hoof dismissively. ”I just want it to hurry up and grow already! Miss Honey’s gonna see it!”
”Why don’t we play while we wait?” Flower proposed. “Then the flower will sense our positive energy and grow faster!”
Motor watched her jump into a mud puddle and roll around. “What the hay are you doing?”
“Getting in touch with nature! Come join in on the good viiiibes!”
Flower splashed carefreely through the mud. “Let her! Water’s still a part of nature!”
”Blech!” Motor wiped at the mud that had gotten on his face, but then smirked. “Oh yeah?” He made a ball of mud and flung it at her.
Flower dodged the mud and pulled him into the puddle. “C’mere you!”
Motor began to chase after her. “I’m gonna get ya!”
”Not if you don’t catch me first!” Flower blew a raspberry at him and galloped off.
Laughing, Motocross chased Flower through the mud puddles, both momentarily forgetting about their project. For now, they were doing exactly what they needed to do for the flower to grow and bloom~
