Emerald goes over to Joyride, and as he approaches she says, "Ah! And there is my lil' helper. I'll talk to you guys later, but I have something I need to finish."

They nod, and after giving her a smile and a provocative look they walk away.

Joyride swivels on Emerald and says, "Okay, follow me!"

Joyride immediately begins marching out towards the balcony with Emerald trailing close behind, but instead of going out onto it she walks along the outside and down a staircase that Emerald didn't see before. This leads to a garden and what appears to be a hedge maze, which Joyride walks in like she knows exactly where she is going.

Even here they are ponies, but they are all couples, and most seem to be having fun wandering around the maze and having fun at some of the more empty dead ends.

Emerald is starting to get nervous, and asks what exactly her plan is to get the Love Hibiscus.

"Well, from what I've been told it's being held in a greenhouse in the center of the maze, along with a lot of other rare or 'interesting' plants, and it's apparently guarded at all times. That's where you come in!"

Emerald doesn't quite understand but Joyride stops at a corner and holding a hoof to her lips to indicate quiet, points around the corner.

Emerald sees an imposing figure, one with huge horns and standing bipedal on two cloven hooves. The creatures bulging arms gripping a polearm more than twice the colt's length in one hand, and a thick, round shield in the other. The colt recognizes immediately as a minotaur.

"You have to distract him while I sneak in and take some Love Hibiscus. From what I've heard, he's quite into girly boys so it should be easy for you." Joyride whispers, eyes sparkling at Emearld.

What does Emerald do?
