"You're really quite a nice horse, aren't you?" Alice neighed amusedly. "What are you doing here?"

"I'm celebrating spring, eh!" Maplehoof replied happily. She pranced around in a circle. "Came here with some guy, eh! But he's busy now, eh, so I'm just..." Her head went down with a sigh. "Just left standing here." She looked up through her eyelashes. "I don't suppose you've got any ideas you could share with me, eh?"

Alice sidled several steps closer. "Well, we could get out of here and go to this great place I know..."

Maplehoof nickered happily. "Lead the way, please!"

And with that, the two horses went somewhere else, and...indulged in drinking the sap of maple trees, because Maplehoof's cool like that.
