Willow stopped at the field and did a few happy twirls of her green tail. When Ice mentioned her eyebrow she blushed, "thanks, I just got it done recently!" She bent down and took a nibble of the clover.

"Well, it suits you." he said.
"After breakfast, I think I'm gonna get started on my house. Are there any places in the prarie you'd reccommend?" he asked, bending down for another bite of clover.

Close to my place!Willow thought then decided that would not be the proper answer. "Uh there is a nice spot for a house really close to here! Its on the priarie and close to Ponyville." Willow took another nibble. "Yeah sure lets get started building when wer'e done with breakfast. Any ideas on how you want it to look?"

"Well, I'm not sure. Nothing too big. I like cozy. What does your house look like?" he asked. "Why don't you show me the spot you're talking about." he added. For the moment, he had eaten enough clover, but he made a mental note of where this clover patch was so he could return later. He looked over at Willow. Her mane was blowing slightly in the prarie breeze. She's so pretty...he thought to himself. He hoped the spot she'd talked about was close to her house.

"My house is uhh strange looking.. to put it bluntly. Its a traditional Prairie Pony Kleepa. See, I am from the Prairie pony tribe, and part of growing up rituals you must build your own kleepa when you come of age." Willow smiled and tilted her head. "C'mon! I'll show you what it looks like! Follow me!!" From the clover patch willow galloped playfully, watching to see if Ice was following behind her. She stopped at her Kleepa. It looked like a big Wooden bowl flipped upside down. It had cute little cirle windows and a wooden door with castle- like iron hinges. A Clay spout stuck out of the top of it and a few puffs of smoke blew out. "See? Its uhh interesting.. aint it?" She laughed," Its a dome shape because it gets kinda windy out here on the prairie, and so to prevent our homes from blowing away we made aerodynamic houses. We call em Kleepa's" Willow watched The hunky green stallion in the morning light.

"Wow! You built this?" Ice asked, amazed at her ability. "It looks great!"
He had a big, awestruck smile on his face.
"It's perfect for the prairie." he said, "I really like it!"
He decided right then and there that he wanted a kleepa of his own.
"Do you mind if I build one like this?" he asked. "I mean, could you show me how it's done?"

:oWillow was surprised. Her face showed that she was awestruck. "You...you really want a kleepa?? Wow.I dont think any pony other than a prairie pony has ever really wanted a kleepa as a home. I'd be absolutely honored to help you build one!!" She had a big grin on her face. This stallion is too good to be true! "I was thinking that you could have your kleepa over there." Willow pointed with her hoof to a nice little corner where the prairie and the clover field met.It was about a block away from Willow's house.

"Yes! Perfect!" Ice said, excitedly. It was too good to be true. He'd be close enough to the clover patch, close enough to Ponyville and... close enough to Willow.
"So, what do we need to do to get started?" he asked, his voice ready and eager.

"Well, we need a saw and a tree with a reaaaalllly big circumference. We'll have to look around in the forest for a tree like that. There are some big trees out there. See, the tree needs to be wide as your Kleepa is gonna be when it is finished. Does that make sense?" Willow smiled and started walking around her kleepa to the back of it. Back there was another smaller kleepa. "This is my shed... We should be able to find a good saw in here." She rolled open the shed door and a cloud of dust blew out and covered her creamy white body. ;DShe laughed at how funny she must have looked and rolled in the prairie grass to release the dust from her skin. She gave a big comical sneeze and proceeded to rummage inside the shed. "Aha!" Said her muffled voice as she pulled out an extremly long saw with her teeth. When it was out of the shed she let it drop and it made a funny wiggling sound. Willow giggled and looked at Ice to see his expression about this whole ordeal.

Ice watched Willow, laughing at her great sense of humor and light-heartedness.
"Well, I can carry that for you while we go big-tree-hunting!" he said, referring to the big, long saw.
"You know, Willow, I'm glad I got to meet you!" he said, in a more serious tone. "I think it's gonna be great living on the same prairie as you." He smiled and paused then, as if changing the subject, cleared his throat and spoke again. "So, now what?"

Willow was flatterd by what he said and blurted a polite and quite "Thank-you... I feel the same way" She changed the subject, "ok then you take the reaallly big saw and we'll go tree huntin!" She smiled and lifted the saw with her teeth to Ice. "I's preddy hevy you sure you wan' carr' it all by yoself?" She said through the saw handle in her mouth. She dropped it and it made another wiggly sound. She should've never doubted Ice, his muscles should have been proof to her alone. He was ripped.

"It won't be a problem." he said, lifting it up off the ground, muscles tensing.
"Lead the way!" he said, motioning toward the woods.
Saw in mouth, he couldn't say much else.
He just followed her as she led him to the woods.
He made a mental list of all her good qualities...friendly, sweet, attractive, capable, witty, funny...
She was quite a filly and he was glad to have her spending the day with him.

She led the way to the forest with Ice by her side. She wandered through the trees like she knew the forest like the back of her hoof. "I know the perfect tree!" She told Ice "Its a really big oak." She stopped at what looked like a giant bark wall "This is it!" she circled around the tree and it took her about 2 minutes to circle it tottally because it was soo big. "Do you think this would be wide enough for your house?" She flipped a green forelock back and looked at Ice's minty green face and gorgeous eyes.

"Wow...now that's tree!" Ice said. " I guess I better start sawing. This could take quite a while!"
He looked at the tree once again and then back at Willow, who happened to be looking right at him. He gave her a playful smile and grabbed the saw and placed it against the tree.
"Let's go.." he said aloud, but more to himself. And he began sawing.
Back and forth, back and forth, he made quick work of the task at hand. He was, after all, a mountain boy, and hardwork was no stranger. His muscles flexed under his now sweat glistened coat.

Willow grabbed the other end of the saw and she helped saw back and forth also. She was strong for a filly. Pretty soon she had little droplets of sweat forming on her skin. It was really warm outside. All of a sudden Willow stopped sawing. "Yeesh! Its hot out! Hey! i got an idea! Wait here!" Willow dashed off quickly to the clover field where they had breakfast. Sure enough her little kettle sat amongst the clovers where she left it. She ran back to the Ice halting at the stream to refill the kettle with clear, cool water. When she got back she laughed and poured a little cold water over her head. It ran down her face and through her hair. She smiled as she shook the water off herself. "Ahh thats better!" She looked up at Ice and held the tea kettle out for him. "Its full of cold water from the stream. it'll help us cool off and if we get thirsty we can have a sip." she smiled and giggled as a wisp of her wet forelock flapped on her face, dripping water down her muzzle.
