Early in the morning, a single alarm went off from the phone of Hannah signalling her time to awake. She groggily opened her eyes and pulled out her phone from her pants’ pocket to see the alarm for her to get to work early to meet with Nilesy. She sat up on the couch and stood up, before picking up the Honeydew plushie and taking him with her to her room.

She put him on her bed before taking her clothes off to put new clothes on, accidentally throwing her old clothing over the sleeping Honeydew. She picked up some of her clothing from the floor and put it on the pile as well, before picking up the clothing, as well as Honeydew, and bringing it to the washing machine, before putting it all in and turning it on, quickly leaving the house to meet up with Nilesy.

______________________________________________________________________________

Xephos woke up with a yawn and scratched his ear with his hind leg before he lazily opened his eyes to not see a Honeydew laying next to him. He blinked and hopped off the couch before trotting to the kitchen and seeing Lewis and Simon sitting at the table eating their breakfast.

“Um, has anypony seen Honeydew?” Xephos asked yawning and rubbing his eyes.

“I thought he was with you.” Lewis said, chewing his toast.

“No, I woke up and he was missing. Toast please?” Xephos said walking over and hopping into a chair. Lewis gave him a piece of toast as the washing machine beeped. “Thank you.”

“I got the wash this time I guess.” Simon said getting up and walking out of the kitchen. The washing machine kept beeping as Simon angrily yelled.

“I GOT YOU, YOU FUCKING MACHINE. CHRIST I AM COMING!” Simon opened the washing machine and took out some clothing, before seeing Honeydew curled up holding his tail looking terrified inside the washing machine. “Oh... Hey Lewis! I found Honeydew!”

“Where was he?” Lewis yelled back as Xephos ran into the room with Simon, looking for his friend. Xephos stopped as he looked at Honeydew before letting out a small giggle and picking up the poor pony with his magic and bringing him down to the ground.

“You okay little buddy?” Xephos said hugging his drenched and terrified friend.

“That thing is terrifying.” Honeydew said shivering as Lewis walked into the room.

“Oh.” Lewis said, looking at the shivering wet pony.

“I believe you. Why were you in there in the first place?” Xephos asked.

“I don't know! I was sleeping and I woke up spinning in there!” Honeydew explained. Xephos just shook his head and looked at Lewis.

“Got towels?” He asked.

“Yes.” Lewis said before leaving the room and coming back with a towel, before putting it on Honeydew and starting to dry him off. Lewis took the towel off after he thoroughly dried Honeydew off to show Honeydew with his fuzzy fur like a ball around him. Xephos just stifled a laugh as he looked at his furry friend.

“It isn't funny!” Honeydew said angrily. Xephos just burst into laughter and fell to the ground laughing.

“Whose clothing is in their Simon?” Lewis asked as he stood up.

“Uuh. Hannah’s.” Simon said looking inside.

“Great...” Lewis muttered.

“She almost killed me!” Honeydew yelled, shaking himself to make his fur go back to normal.

“Oh I doubt she did it on purpose.” Simon said.

“She might not have known, but I think it’s time we tell her, before she does accidentally kill one of them.” Lewis said, putting a hand on his chin in thought.

“That is terrifying.” Xephos said as he sat up.

“I know.” Lewis said.

“Well how are we going to tell her? Just let us walk up to her and say ‘HEY HANNAH WE ARE LIVING AND REAL!’.” Xephos impersonated a little louder than he probably should have.

“No, we aren't going to do that, that would scare her.” Lewis said.

“Are you going to bring her into a room separate from us and tell her before showing her to us so she doesn't kill us?” Honeydew asked dryly.

“That’ll work!” Simon said clapping his hands together.

“Better plan than none I guess.” Lewis said shrugging.

“So when she gets home, we do this?” Xephos asked.

“Yes.” Lewis confirmed.

“Great.” Honeydew said, standing up shakily to his hooves. Xephos just picked Honeydew up and put him on his back before walking out of the room and heading back to the kitchen.

“Well it gives us time to prepare.” Xephos said shrugging.

“Prepare what? To run for our lives?” Honeydew asked frowning.

“Well that, and we can get something nice to eat before she hugs us to death or something.” Xephos said.

“That sounds lovely!” Honeydew said sarcastically.

“It’s a better death that some would think.” Xephos said shrugging again.

“You would know.” Honeydew said smiling as Simon and Lewis walked back into the kitchen and sat at the table.

“Yes I would.” He said as he put Honeydew on a chair and sat in one himself. Laughing as Honeydew’s head barely got above the table.

“Stop laughing.” Honeydew said frowning.

“Sorry, sorry.” Xephos said putting a hoof to his mouth to hopefully stop the giggles which it didn’t.

“Can’t wait to see Hannah hug you.” Honeydew muttered, getting up onto the table.

“Oh hush up.” Xephos said as he leaned back in his seat as the others took their seats around the table.

“It’s true.” Honeydew said smiling as Simon gave him some toast.

“Duncan should be here soon.” Lewis said looking at the clock.

“Well what should we do while we wait?” Simon asked.

“Do you have any other games on that box?” Honeydew asked as he finished his toast, pointing at the Xbox in the living room.

“Oh tons!” Simon said smiling.

“Like what?” Honeydew asked.

“Well we have Halo, Call of Duty, Skyrim, which is what you guys were playing by the way, Fallout three!” Simon continued to list.

“I want to see you play Skyrim Xephos.” Honeydew said, looking at his friend, “I already did.”

“Um... Okay.” Xephos said smiling. “Buuuut there is one problem.”

“What?” Honeydew asked.

“We can’t read anything.” Xephos said sheepishly.

“I did pretty well without reading anything.” Honeydew replied.

“We are going to have to teach you how to read soon I guess.” Lewis said.

“That would be lovely... So to the box thingy?” Xephos said smiling.

“Yep.” Honeydew said, jumping off the table and walking over to the living room as Simon and Lewis got up from the table. They walked in and sat on the couch with Xephos sitting next to Simon.

“Hey, Lewis! Come watch a pony play Skyrim! This should be fun!” Simon shouted as Xephos floated the remote up to him and looked at it.

“Okay... This might be a bit complicated.” Xephos said.

“I am right next to you, I walked in with you.” Lewis said, tapping Simon on the head.

“Press the green button.” Honeydew said, looking at the controller.

“Right.” Xephos said sticking his tongue out as he pressed the button and watched the T.V. turn on with the Xbox logo appearing. “Oh I did it!”

“Yay.” Honeydew said sarcastically, clapping his hooves together slowly as he rolled his eyes.

“OH hush up you.” Xephos said gently swatting the front of Honeydew’s nose. He pressed the other green button and watched the screen go black.

“Ha ha!” Honeydew laughed.

“Aw dang it.” Xephos whined before the dragon symbol came back on. “Oh yeah!”

“Now you have to make a character.” Honeydew said as the doorbell rang.

“Hello!” Duncan’s voice rang out from the doorway. “Hello? Where are you guys?”

“Living room.” Lewis replied. Duncan walked in and took a seat in the chair as he watched the screen.

“Is Xephos playing Skyrim.” Duncan more or less stated then asked.

“Yes.” Honeydew said smiling as he watched his friend.

“Ehm... I want the dragon guy.” Xephos said as he clicked on the character and slowly typed in the name ‘Xephos’ in, albeit it wasn't spelled correctly.

“That’s an Argonian, it’s like a lizard.” Lewis said.

“Ooooh...” Xephos said as the opening scene started. As the man got to the block and had his head lopped off, both Honeydew and Xephos flinched. “Eeew... That is still nasty and gruesome.”

“Do you still do that to others?” Honeydew asked, looking at Duncan.

“What beheading? No no no, that was disbanded long ago. Although some other countries still do it, it is extremely rare.” Duncan said.

“That’s terrible.” Honeydew said, turning to look at the game again.

“Well yeah, but don’t worry beheading is only for the worst of the worst.” Duncan said reassuringly. Xephos’ character began to run away and panic a little bit as the dragon broke the walls down and spewed fire everywhere.

“How about you follow the guard and see what happens.” Honeydew suggested.

“Sure, as soon as the dragon stops trying to eat me!” Xephos almost shouted as he continued to run until he followed the guard and ran inside. Xephos cheered a little when they got to the town and got some steel weapons and stuff. “Ha! I told you to follow the guard!”

“How would I know the guard would give somepony he tried to kill weapons!?” Honeydew shouted.

“I dunno! Why are you shouting!?” Xephos yelled back as his ears folded back.

“Dunno.” Honeydew said shrugging.

“I see.... Welp! Onward to victory!” Xephos cheered happily.

______________________________________________________________________________

“Ha ha! Taste my dragon shout you bloody bastard!” Xephos cheered as the dragon was pushed back allowing him to finally kill the dragon. The front door opens and Hannah walks in.

“I’m home everyone!” Hannah announced as Xephos stopped and slowly turned to Honeydew before slightly beginning to panic. He tossed the remote to Duncan and then flopped onto the couch as Honeydew just went limp on the couch. Hannah walked in to see Duncan playing a videogame while the two ponies were laying on the couch limply.

“Hey guys, what’s up?” She said.

“Oh nothing just Duncan said he could go through the whole Skyrim game never once using magic.” Simon said smiling.

“Oh.. That’s cool.” Hannah said happily.

“Can we talk to you in the kitchen?” Lewis asked getting up from the couch with Simon.

“Um, sure, is something wrong?” Hannah asked.

“No.” Lewis said walking into the kitchen with Hannah.

“Sure sounds like something is wrong.” Hannah mumbled as she followed. As they entered the kitchen they all settled down in the chairs.

“So what’s up that we had to leave Duncan all by his lonesome?” Hannah asked smiling.

“Well, you see Hannah... You know those adorable ponies that the Yognaught sent us?” Simon asked as Hannah nodded.

“Yeah, it was pretty sweet of them too.” She said.

“The thing is. Those weren’t sent by a Yognaught... Nor are they plushies.” Simon said gently as Hannah blinked.

“I don’t get it.” She said chuckling in a confused manner.

“Should we just call for them?” Simon asked looking at Lewis.

“Sure.” Lewis said shrugging.

“Alright, Honeydew! Xephos! Get in here!” Simon shouted to the living room.

“Do I have too!?” Honeydew yelled from the living room.

“Yes!” Simon shouted back chuckling.

“You guys are just pulling my leg right?” Hannah said a bit nervous now.

“She put me into a spinning pool of death, I don't want to come!” Honeydew yelled.

“Do I need to carry you in!?” Simon shouted back.

“Xephos would probably do that!” Honeydew said.

“Do you want him to do that or are you going to come willingly!?” Simon shouted back.

“What are they on about?” Hannah asked looking at Lewis.

“You put Honeydew into the washing machine.” Lewis said.

“I am not coming!” Honeydew yelled back.

“Right, XEPHOS!” Simon shouted.

“Got it!” Xephos shouted back before he came trotting into the kitchen with a flailing Honeydew in his magic. “Oh calm down!”

“I’m calm!” Honeydew yelled.

“Then stop flailing about!” Xephos said. “And maybe I will put you down!”

“Fine.” Honeydew said, as he calmed down and stopped moving.

“Good.” Xephos said nodding his head and he put Honeydew on the table while hopping into the chair behind Honeydew.

“That’s them.” Lewis said. Hannah simply stared at them before her jaw dropped. This remained until she shook her head.

“H-how?” She squeaked out.

“Xephos did it.” Honeydew said.

“Hey! It’s Lalna’s fault! He scared me!” Xephos defended.

“Wait how did Dunca-” Hannah began.

“Not Duncan.” Lewis said quickly.

“Besides, it’s not my fault that when I get scared I teleport! It’s like a flight or fight instinct! And mine is flight!” Xephos said crossing his hooves and pouting.

“This...is actually a better reaction than I thought she would get.” Lewis said, looking at Hannah. That was when Hannah let out all that had built up.

“OHMYGOSH OHMYGOSH! THEY ARE REAL LIFE PONIES!” Hannah squeed out before she turned to Honeydew. “Oh god, I am soooo sorry for putting you in the washing machine this morning I didn’t know you were real and then I was really tired and-” She barely even got a breath in before she simply fell backwards and passed out. Xephos blinked and looked over the table.

“Woah. Simon was right. You are terrifying.” Xephos said looking at Honeydew.

“I didn’t do anything!” Honeydew said, jumping off the table and running back to the living room in terror of Hannah waking up and attacking him.

“So.... This is it? She has a freakout and now we are okay?” Xephos asked looking at Lewis and Simon.

“I guess? She hasn’t done that before...ever.” Lewis said, looking at Hannah passed out on the floor.

“Well... Um, I will get her I guess.” Xephos said as he levitated Hannah off the floor and began walking back to the couch as Duncan was playing Skyrim as Honeydew watched him from the couch. He looked over and saw Hannah in the pale red glow before looking to the kitchen.

“I take it, it all went well?” Duncan called to the kitchen.

“She was terrifying.” Honeydew muttered. Xephos just rolled his eyes and put Hannah on the couch.

“She didn’t even do anything other than have a mini freak out.” Xephos said as he tucked her legs onto the couch and put her arms next to her. “Besides now that she knows we are not plushies, we can actually walk around now without worrying about her killing us with affection.”

“She can still do that now.” Honeydew said moving further on the couch away from Hannah.

“But you can tell her to stop, or not touch you now.” Xephos pointed out.

“Easy for you to do.” Honeydew said.

“What are you going to freak out and run every time you see her awake?” Xephos joked.

“Yes.” Honeydew said nodding. Xephos just looked at him with a deadpanned expression before sighing and rubbing the side of his head.

“You are so difficult sometimes.” Xephos muttered.

“She is insane.” Honeydew said.

“And the fact that we are sitting in the living room of an alien species isn’t?” Xephos asked.

“I stopped questioning unicorn magic.” Honeydew said, jumping off the couch.

“Then you should give Hannah a second chance, she didn’t know you were living when she threw you in the washing machine thingy.” Xephos said following his friend with his eyes.

“Fine.” Honeydew muttered, as he sat down next to Xephos.

“Good, I am sure she will appreciate it.” Xephos said giving Honeydew a hug with one of his hooves.

“You ponies are surprisingly forgiving.” Duncan commented looking at the ponies.

“How else would we be?” Honeydew asked, looking at Duncan, “We aren't going to be like those games where you die for doing nothing wrong.”

“Well, this is just humans, but we tend to hold a grudge against things like that. I know if Lewis put me in the washing machine, I would probably hold it against him.” Duncan said shrugging.

“You can fit in there?” Honeydew asked, tilting his head.

“Well no, but if he got a washing machine I COULD fit in, I would hold a grudge against that.” Duncan said chuckling.

“I wouldn’t put you in a washing machine.” Lewis said, walking into the living room with Simon.

“But if you did.” Duncan said pointing a finger at Lewis.

“I could see you putting Duncan in a washing machine, if like... You were really mad at him.” Simon said.

“That would kill him Simon.” Lewis said, “I wouldn’t kill him if I was mad at him.”

“Ok Honeydew was in that thing for who knows how long and he is fine.”

“I was in there for twenty minutes and I was curled up in a ball so I wouldn’t get hurt.” Honeydew said.

“Wait you counted?” Xephos asked looking down at him.

“I didn’t have anything else to do in there besides be terrified, wasn’t trying to count at all, and I lost the hat in there too.” Honeydew said, smiling.

“So you guessed?” Xephos asked.

“No.” Honeydew said, shaking his head.

“Then how did you know the exact time?” Xephos asked.

“I don't know...” Honeydew said confused.

“Then wh-... Nevermind, you are worse than that pink one from Ponyville when we visited.” Xephos said rubbing his head with both hooves.

“Pinkie? She threw us a party and is one of the elements, she was nice.” Honeydew said.

“And a royal pain for my mind.” Xephos said sighing. “You shouldn’t even be able to eat an entire cake in a single bite, let alone stomach it.”

“Maybe she was able to do that because she is a party pony? As well as not from Stirrup?” Honeydew suggested.

“Still shouldn’t be possible.” Xephos said. “If you look at the anatomy of a pony, it’s not physically possible.”

“Neither is magic.” Duncan pointed out.

“Here maybe, but I don’t think Honeydew could eat an entire cake and not throw half of it back up.” Xephos said patting Honeydew on the head.

“I could try.” Honeydew said smiling.

“I would rather not have to clean up vomit.” Lewis said.

“See? At least he is logical.” Xephos said.

“No, I just don't want to clean up vomit.” Lewis said.

“Still logical.” Xephos said pointing a hoof at Lewis. Then he looked at Hannah before looking at the humans. “Well... While she is sleeping, why don’t I show you guys what me and Honeydew did back home for a living!”

“That sounds interesting.” Duncan said smiling and pausing his game before putting the remote down.

“Sure.” Lewis said shrugging.

“Why not? Sounds like it could be fun.” Simon said happily. Xephos smiled before standing up and thinking for a moment.

“Do you have a... Larger and emptier space?” Xephos said sheepishly.

“Outside.” Lewis said, pointing to a back door in the kitchen.

“Alright then! Let’s go!” Xephos said putting Honeydew on his back with his magic and running to and out the door with the humans behind.

______________________________________________________________________________

Xephos was sitting in the grass concentrating as his horn glowed brightly. Duncan had taken to sitting in a chair and waiting while Simon was eating a few jaffas and sipping on some tea. Lewis was just standing and waiting to see what happened while Honeydew was just sitting on his haunches and waiting for Xephos to be done.

“Does it usually take this long?” Duncan asked looking at Honeydew.

“No, it usually takes him a few seconds, I don’t know why it’s taking so long.” Honeydew replied.

“Maybe he is out of practice?” Simon suggested.

“No, he wouldn’t be out of practice because using his magic makes it work, even if he hasn't used the specific spell.” Honeydew explained, looking at Simon.

“Huh... Maybe something is blocking it, like water trying to go through plastic.” Simon said shrugging.

“Nothing blocks magic.” Honeydew said.

“Besides other magic right?” Duncan asked.

“I don’t know.” Honeydew said shrugging, before turning back to watch Xephos.

“Alright. Wait it is doing something!” Duncan said excitedly. Xephos finally released the spell causing the world around them all to become that of blocks and cubes. Lewis, Simon, and Duncan all recognised it from their computers, but to see the game they played behind a screen come to life in front of them was... Magical!

“That was a bit of an ordeal.” Xephos said chuckling.

“Why was it taking longer for you to do that?” Honeydew asked as he looked around.

“I put a few more spells in so that anyone neighboring our hosts couldn't see us.” Xephos said smiling. “Invisibility is a bit harder than projection.”

“Alright.” Honeydew said. Xephos just chuckled before sighing and looking around the blocky world. He walked over to a tree and smacked it with one of his hind legs making the middle bit pop out.

“Dear Celestia, I missed doing this!” Xephos said smiling happily as he jumped around a bit.

“Me too.” Honeydew said, popping his head out from a giant hole he had made in the ground in a matter of seconds.

“H-how?” Duncan stuttered out as he looked around.

“Well... Magic!” Xephos said smiling as he began to build a small home. “Even unicorns don’t know the full extent of it.”

“I bet they wouldn't.” Lewis said, walking over to the half built house. Duncan began to look around, seeing the environment and feeling the world around him.

“This is amazing!” Simon said smiling widely in awe. “I never thought doing anything like this was possible without the help of technology!”

“Ya well it is with magic and...Oh uh...” Honeydew said, jumping out of the hole and looking out into the landscape. Xephos popped his head out from the structure before sighing and going to a small table inside the house. There was the sound of things being smashed together before a wood sword was thrown in front of Honeydew and Xephos came trotting out with one in his magic.

“Creepers?” Xephos moaned out looking where Honeydew was.

“Yes, and I hate how you made them able to hear us and chase after us.” Honeydew said, picking the sword up in his mouth.

“Hey, it was Lalna’s fault. He helped me with the spell.” Xephos said. “He said it would make things more interesting.”

“I guess, but he also helped you make them go in herds, so there are probably like, ten around, coming at us.” Honeydew said through the sword. Xephos rolled his eyes before looking around and looking down the hole Honeydew made.

“Honeydew?... Trap?” Xephos said smiling.

“Yes.” Honeydew said.

“What about us!?” Duncan said as he looked to the trees that were beginning to rustle.

“Go into the house?” Honeydew suggested.

“Right!” Simon said as he hurried into the building with Duncan following behind quickly while Lewis, being next to it already, got in.

“Alright so we can just lead them into the pit and then suffocate them in sand?” Xephos said as he looked around.

“We don’t have sand.” Honeydew reminded Xephos.

“Ah... We do have gravel though!” Xephos said as several blocks floated over to them.

“Ok, gravel works too.” Honeydew said before he sighed and his ears went back, “I’m going to have to bring them here aren't I?” He asked. Xephos just nodded as he began to build a scaffold he would drop the gravel from. Honeydew sighed before running towards the creeper and hitting it with the wooden sword before running back to the trap with the creeper behind him. The other creepers came out and went after him as well.

Honeydew ran over and as if he was trying to imitate an action hero, he jumped over the pit, seemingly in slow motion, as the creepers skidded to a stop and tumbled into one another all falling into the pit. Honeydew laughed happily as Xephos buried the creepers alive in the gravel only coming down when the last hiss was heard.

“Well... That was... Dramatic.” Xephos said hopping off his scaffold and breaking it down.

“I don’t like creepers.” Honeydew said as he walked over to it and got the gunpowder.

“Better than those enderponies. They are just annoying.” Xephos sighed out remembering the block stealing teleporters. That was when Simon, Lewis, and Duncan all came out in awe of the ponies.

“That was... AWESOME!” Duncan said throwing his arms in the air in the ‘Rocky’ stance.

“It was pretty damn cool!” Simon said smiling. “I mean, creepers are terrifying.”

“They aren't as bad as spiders or skeletons.” Honeydew said, throwing the gunpowder back on the ground.

“Or enderponies.” Xephos added.

“Those too.” Honeydew said.

“Can you stop this simulation now? I’m worried about Hannah, and dying here.” Lewis said, looking at Xephos.

“Well sure, but you can’t die in here, you just pass out.” Xephos said shrugging and letting his horn glow before the world around them looked like it was digitally dissolving before the world around them was back to normal. “There we go!”

“Thank you.” Lewis said, walking back into the house. Xephos just shrugged before walking into the house with him along with the others following in behind.

“Why is he stiff all the time?” Xephos muttered as he walked.

“Eh, he is just really serious all the time.” Simon said shrugging. “He isn’t always like this, but no offense, but it’s not everyday you have alien ponies living in your home.”

“He does have a point.” Duncan said chuckling.

“He seems fun to me!” Honeydew said smiling as they walked into the living room to see Lewis sitting with the now awake Hannah.

“Hello!” Xephos said waving as he walked into the room.

“Hi.” Hannah said back smiling.

“Hi...” Honeydew said, slowly walking backwards before bumping into Duncan.

“Hey now, she isn’t going to try and sew you a new rump picture.” Duncan chuckled picking Honeydew up.

“Cutie mark!” Honeydew said, trying to get out of Duncan’s hands.

“Calm down!” Duncan said holding the flailing Honeydew out and snickering at the sight of the panicking pony. “What are you so scared of any how?”

“Being hugged to death!” Honeydew said, quickly biting one of Duncan’s fingers, but too soft to actually do anything.

“Ow! You little bugger!” Duncan said tucking Honeydew under his arm and bopping him on the nose. “Don’t bite or I will toss you to her!”

“I’m not a lion, Duncan.” Hannah said rolling her eyes.

“Your a lioness.” Lewis said, hugging Hannah.

“Let me go!” Honeydew yelled, squirming under Duncan’s arm.

“Are you going to calm down?” Duncan said keeping his grip on Honeydew firm.

“You did say you would give her a second chance.” Xephos pointed out.

“I did, but she was sleeping.” Honeydew said.

“Doesn’t mean that you can skimp out on it. Now get you flank over there and say hello.” Xephos said sternly pointing to the couch.

“I can't.” Honeydew said.

“Right, Duncan you can put him down now.” Xephos said as Duncan nodded and put Honeydew down. “Good, now march mister.”

“Riiight.” Honeydew said rolling his eyes before walking over to the couch and jumping up onto it to sit next to Hannah. There was a awkward tension in the air as the two exchanged awkward glances. The silence was only broken by Xephos facehoofing.

“Um.. Sorry for putting you in the washing machine... And the bows in your hair. And the hat.” Hannah said looking away shamefully.

“I liked the hat.” Honeydew said, frowning thoughtfully.

“We will get the hat later.” Xephos said rolling his eyes.

“You didn’t know I was alive so I guess its ok.” Honeydew said, glaring at Xephos.

“You sure?” Hannah said looking back at him with sad eyes.

“Yes.” Honeydew said. Again there was some awkward tension in the air as silence once again fell.

“Good Celestia, it’s like dinner with my family.” Xephos muttered double facehoofing.

“No, nopony is glaring at me while holding a knife with their magic.” Honeydew said, remembering his friend’s dad.

“That was one time!” Xephos shouted as Duncan laughed out loud. “And I warned you they were old fashioned!”

“Your parents don’t like me!” Honeydew yelled.

“Because they are old fashion!... And you kinda... Ate my mother’s flower garden.” Xephos said snickering.

“I didn’t eat it! I dug it up accidentally!” Honeydew said.

“Still though, she would have understood better if you ate them.” Xephos said falling backwards laughing as Simon was cackling.

“Are they always like this?” Hannah asked looking at Lewis.

“Yes.” Lewis said smiling.

“Well I see that they are going to be just fine here.” Hannah said giggling as she looked at the flustered Honeydew and cackling pony and humans next to the doorway.
