- >"Spike, this is Anon. Anon, Spike."
- >"Hi!"
- "Wow... Hi."
- "...You're a dragon!"
- >"Yeah. Pretty neat, huh?"
- >Looking smug, Spike.
- "More like incredible..."
- >"I'm guessing you've never seen a dragon before either, have you Anon?"
- "No, no, I sure haven't, hmhm."
- >"Hi, Spike!"
- >"Howdy!"
- >"Oh, hey you guys."
- >"So, where you come from, there are no Pegasi, no Unicorns, and no Dragons. But, there are Earth Ponies like Applejack and Pinkie Pie, correct?"
- "Well, there are ponies and horses that lack wings and horns, but they're really quite different from the, uh, Earth Ponies, in Equestria."
- >"Hmm... Could you maybe.. Draw a picture of one of those ponies, and show us what they look like?"
- "I suppose I could..."
- >Twilight motions to the blackboard a few feet away from the table.
- >"Go ahead."
- >"She says, clearly very curious as to what these other ponies look like.
- >You walk over to the blackboard, and pick up a piece of chalk. By now, Twilight, Applejack, Pinkie, and Spike are all watching you.
- >You begin to draw the shape of a p0ny. A large body. Thin legs, a long neck, and a long head with small eyes.
- >You draw the tail, mane, and the ears.
- >It looks accurate enough, if a little sloppy. You step aside, revealing your drawing to the three ponies and the dragon.
- >For a moment, nop0ny says anything. They just stare with a look of confusion.
- >A giggle breaks the silence.
- >"Heeheehee, that p0ny looks really weird!"
- >"Twilight walks closer to the blackboard, and analyzes the drawing. She is smiling faintly.
- >"I've never seen a p0ny like that before..."
- >"Those legs are awful thin..."
- >"And you said these ponies don't talk, Anon?"
- >"Huh?"
- >Applejack, Pinkie and Spike exclaim, in disbelief.
- "That's right. They just make, uh... Horse sounds."
- >"Does that mean they're not... Intelligent, either?"
- "Not really. They're more complex than most creatures, but they're not sapient like you and I."
- >"I see. They're obviously an entirely different species from the ponies in Equestria..."
- "Mhm."
- >"Anyway... You must be hungry, right Anon?"
- "Huh? Oh, yes. I've had nothing to eat since yesterday, actually..."
- >"I'd thought so... You know, there's a lovely little restaurant that just opened in the town square, which I've been meaning to check out. If you guys want, we could all go there."
- >"Sounds good, Twahlite."
- >"Yeah! Let's go!"
- >"Anon?"
- >Ordinarily, you probably would have passed on an offer like this.
- >But, these ponies are just so... delightful, that you really don't want to turn them down if you can help it.
- >And you feel starved.
- "...I suppose that would be... Nice?"
- >"Hmhm, alright, then. I'll just put these maps away, and we'll get going."
- >Twilight opens the door, and Applejack, Pinkie, and Spike walk out. You follow.
- >Twilight leaves the house, and closes the door behind her.
- >It looks like mid-afternoon. The sky is somewhat less cloudy than it was this morning, and the weather is still quite pleasant. The mild breeze from earlier is still present.
- >Twilight and Pinkie are walking about five feet ahead of you, with Spike riding on Twilight's back. Applejack is walking beside you.
- >After a few minutes, you all reach a small bridge which arches over a stream, and begin crossing it. Twilight and Pinkie are discussing various things, with Spike making an occasional comment.
- >"Um... Are yah feelin'... alright, Anon?"
- >Applejack asks, rather quietly. She seems genuinely concerned.
- "Huh?"
- "Oh, yes. I'm feeling fine, Miss Applejack. Thank you."
- >"...Ah was just thinkin', yah seem rather, calm, yah know, given yer circumstances."
- "You're quite right. This may sound odd, but I've actually been feeling much better than usual ever since I wound up here. Which is strange, now that I think about it..."
- >"How do you figure?"
- "Well... I don't know why, exactly. This... World, dimension, whichever- It's quite unlike mine. Though, there's something so alleviating about it. The air, perhaps."
- >Applejack gives you a sympathetic look.
- >"Oh... Ah see."
- "So... How did you fare at the market?"
- >"Hmhm, Ah did pretty good. Sold just about all mah apples."
- >You'd guessed as much. Applejack's saddlebags were almost full of coins, which jingled with each step she took.
- "That's good to hear."
- >...
