B/F/N POV

Why did I bring goat boy with me?!

I don't know what drove me to that decision, but as soon as we made it to the stables I kinda regretted it. For you see, him being a satyr, he couldn't help but complain how pampered the pegasi were. I don't want to go there.

I saddled Blue, a beautiful creamy white mare with intense blue eyes, and adoring wings with a tint of blue in them. She has speckles all over and blueish tint hooves. Jaguar managed to find this one in horrible conditions with other horses. So she freed the horses and Blue offered her a ride back to the ship. Ever since she just sorta stayed with us. 

Meanwhile, after a couple tries, Zion finally manages to saddle Maximus, a handsome bronze colored stallion with forest green eyes. He was one of the ones the camp provided with. You heard he had a mouth that seriously needed washing though according to Jaguar, who can speak horse apparently. Zion can too. He looked as if he were about to grab the closest water bucket and splash him with it. 

With that, I pulled the lever and a section of the glass floor slid away, allowing the pegasi to exit the flying ship. 

After we flew out, and a ton of bleating from Zion, we were soon flying over what looked to be Missouri, as we flew closer we could make out the renowned Missouri River, I suddenly wandered how it was like for Lewis and Clark who was getting a tour from Sacajawea all those many years ago. Wait, focus.

"Do you see any stores yet? Preferably a dollar tree?!" I asked Zion, yelling over my shoulder. 

"Uh...wait! I see something!!!" He exclaimed.

"What?" I asked hopefully.

"I see a bean burrito shop!!!" He says hungrily. Ugh, why didn't I bring y/n or David?!

"I don't think that is convenient for our situation!!!! Look for a Dollar Tree!!! There has to be one around here somewhere!!!!!" I say kind of impatiently, getting slightly annoyed. He looked longingly at the burrito shop as we flew over it. Down below there were a group of mortal teenagers hanging out at a pizzeria. They looked up and pointed at us, but it was as if they saw a flock of birds or something. Nothing to out of the ordinary. Oh, I miss that life. No worrying about monsters, or saving your mother who's really a goddess from a noisy cell mate. Ugh, I should really stop now.

We flew over a shopping center full of a lot of the shops you find all over America. Including...

"A Dollar Tree!" We both exclaim in unison.

"Ok Blue, I need you behind that store, after we are off, I want you to stay hidden ok?" She nayed softy in response. 

"Ok Zion! Get ready!" I warmed.

"Get ready?!!! For wh..AH!!!!!!!!!!!!" He yelled out as we did an epic swoop towards the cement. I thought it was fun.

When we landed though, I looked over my shoulder to see a green faced Zion clutching the winged horse for dear life. Maximus didn't look too happy about that. 

After I finally managed to pry them apart, and Zion was done with his vertigo, we walked into the front of the store. 

"Ok, let's get the basic necessities, we only have ten bucks." I tell Zion. He nods in response.

So basically by the time we got into the cash register line, we had two party size bags of Doritos, two leagues of Root Beer, one bag of enchiladas (surprisingly), two boxes of cookies, a thing of gum, and for some reason two figit spinners. ADHD I guess. I manly got one for Leo, man that kid has energy
