We Found Your Hat

The sun had already initiated its setting, and soon Luna would bring up the moon. A hue of orange and purple tinted the sky where the sun met the horizon.  The clouds were mesmerizing. One side reflected the dim sun, while the other was darkened by long shadows. The structures of Ponyville did much the same. The night breeze gently whistled through the air giving insight to the cooler weather to come; though, the warmth grasped tightly to its territory. In other words, the temperature would not fall too severely.

After their prayer, Pixer and Logo hurried to the center of Ponyville in a last ditch effort to find shelter. Only moments passed before keen-eyed Pixer noticed a town directory by the fountain. so he trotted to and read it. “Hey, Logo, there is a park nearby. We could sleep under the stars.” Before turning to his friend, he emphatically asked, “Logo?” As it turned out, amazement had struck that yellow pony, for he gazed in the opposite direction gawking. “Logo? Hello?” Then Pixer realized what his buddy was so surprised about. Loops, their Pegasus friend from Ontailio, stood by and chatted with Rainbow Dash, a popular flier in Equestria and well-known companion of Princess Twilight Sparkle. The two conversed in a lively manner—gestures, exclamations, and all. “You're kidding me.”

Logo gave a glance to Pixer as he inquired, “Are you surprised he is talking with a girl? Or that we stumbled upon another of Twilight's friends?” He lifted a hoof to his brown-covered head, shut one of his forest green eyes, and cringed deeply. “This is starting to hurt my head.”

Carrying a smug expression, the other stallion took a few steps towards Loops and Rainbow. “We don't actually have to completely avoid her friends.”

“We have to be careful at least.” Both nodded. Then they shook their heads and burst into a chortle. “I still can't believe Loops mustered enough courage to talk to her.”

Logo's laugh was unmistakable, and due to its typical volume, Loops heard and recognized it. He therefore turned about. During the 180, his light blue mane swayed—its nature straight, short, dyed and at the bangs unevenly cut. His tail, which had his natural color, held black and was straight and simple. Loops gleefully carried his cutie mark--a whirlpool overlaid with a musical note—which rested on a deep blue coat. “Guys!” the black-tailed Pegasus called out upon seeing his friends. Pixer and Logo immediately responded by walking over. “Rainbow Dash, these are my friends Logo and Pixer. They're from Maredon.”

Rainbow fluttered above the ground carelessly. Her six-colored tail barely touched the ground, though her similarly colored mane stayed primarily on her back. “Nice to meet ya,” the cyan Pegasus spoke with a peppy smile. “So you're also new to Ponyville?” she asked shrugging.

“Yeah.”

The multicolor-maned Pegasus raised a brow and tilted her head. “What brings you three out her, anyways? Loops was just telling me you came from almost the other side of Equestria, so whatever you're here for must be important.”

Pixer and Logo hesitated to answer, but the musical Pegasus readily piped in, “We came to do what God wants us to do. We aren't totally sure what that is, though.” Loops awaited a response, but for some reason, Dash handed out no answer. The semi-famous flier squinted her eyes as if confused.

Despite the awkward silence, Logo kept pace pushing to end the conversation. “Well, we should be going now. It was nice to meet you Rainbow; we will talk more another time.” Politely the stallion bowed his head. He then motioned to the others. “Don't worry, we'll be in town a few more days.”

As he prepared to step away, Rainbow brought up the question, “Are you looking for a pony with a shaggy blonde mane, tan coat, and a... weird cutie mark? And who's also a little strange?”

“Uhhh...” Neither Loops nor Logo had met him, so they had no idea what he looked like. On the other hoof, Pixer did.

“Yes!” he chimed nearly reaching a yell. A glimmer reflected of his eyes, and a grin came over him. “Do you know where he is?”

“No.” Rainbow quickly shook her noggin. “I've seen him walking around town multiple times, but I never had the chance to talk to him. But...” Her mouth hung open for several seconds in a pause before she finally said, “I overheard him once. He mentioned that word. God? What is that, anyways?” She nervously scraped the ground with one hoof and look downward. That was not a normal reaction for her, Loops knew.

The three outsiders looked at each other in bewilderment before returning their attention to Dash. The writer—as shown by cutie mark—questioned, “Are you saying you've never heard about Him before?”

“Nope, I haven't,” Rainbow gave a quick return.

“Okay...” Logo again glanced to his friends. “Would you like to hear about Him?”

“I... I don't have time right now. You said you would be around for awhile, right?”

“Yup. We shall see you soon then.” The three separated from the one, for the skilled flier zipped away. As abruptly as the the talk with Dash ended, Logo said, “We can head to the park now. Let's go.”
