>Midnight Blossom squints in the daylight, scanning the foliage for any signs of movement
>She wonders, as she often does, why the town would decide to build this wall around Hollow Shades
>The bat ponies are, after all, the most fearful creatures in the Shady Forest.
>The tougher bat ponies at least.
>This job needs more excitement, more fighting, and more pizzazz
>Scaring away the howling monkeys during the daytime is the most excitement the wall ever sees
>Boredom begins to take over Midnights worn out mind.
>She looks over to Night Watch, sitting in the watchtower with her eyes closed 
>Sleeping on the job like a slacker.

>Night Watch leans on the wooden railings of the tower, meditating
>Her pent up anger is best dealt with in the recess of her own mind, instead of taking it out on that garlictard Florence
>When your name is Night Watch -
>NIGHT WATCH
> - Being assigned to day watch is like using synthetic milk to feed your newborn baby
>It just ain’t right.
>Making the most of a bad situation, Night Watch spends her time sharpening her non-visual senses
>Right now she hears an approaching figure
“Midnight! Movement - 2 o’clock!”
>Midnight shakes herself aware and listens for the intruder, barely catching the soft trotting of an approaching pony
>Guess Night Watch wasn’t asleep.
>The trotting gets closer, soon the pony will be out of the thick foliage
>Time to decide, was it shoot first or ask questions first?

>Jasmine struggles through some bushes and peers up at the 10 foot wooden fence-wall
>At the top she see’s two dumbfounded ponies looking down at her
>”Jasmine?!” Midnight shouts down at her, “You’re supposed to be on watch duty!”
“Sorry girls! I was busy collecting these!”
>She thrusts up a basket full of flowers, leaves, and delicate herbs for delicious tea
>Flying up to the ponies, Jasmine shifts the leaves, revealing bright red mushrooms with white spores dotted over the top
“I figured it’d be another slow day anyway”
>The two ponies look at each other, then back at Jasmine
>Midnight speaks first
>”Hell Yeah”
