Born to Light
Chapter 2: Special Delivery
Previous ChapterNext Chapter"Hey, uh, would you happen to be Twilight Sparkle?"
"Why, yes. Um...do I know you?"
"Probably not. I'm not from around here. Wait, you're not either."
"What?"
"You went to the Canterlot Academy, right?"
"Yes, why?"
"That's actually where I just came from. You probably don't remember me; I usually spent most of my time in the science lab."
"Oh, you were the one that was so fascinated with that computer?"
"Yeah, that's me. You know, I'm really starting to envy those 'humans.' I hear they have tons of computers in their world!"
"Personally, I just want to know how they got a hold of something from another dimension!"
"Yeah, but I guess there's a reason why they won't tell us."
"Oh, I'm terribly sorry, but I can't seem to remember your name."
"No problem. My name's Postal Code."
"You see, now I remember you – I'm sorry, I feel like it was so rude to forget."
"Like I said, it's no problem...oh, crap, I almost forgot."
"What's wrong?"
"We've been catching up for so long that I forgot to give you these."
"Um...what are they?"
"I'm not really sure. I just found these sitting next to the computer one day. I asked around, see if, like, someone lost them or something, but no one knew."
"So, then, why did you come all this way just to deliver them to me?"
"When I was asking around, a few ponies said something like, 'Go see Twilight Sparkle about that. She should know.' It's a good thing they told me you were here, or else I probably would have never found you."
"But, I never told anyone I was leaving. Well, besides my parents, of course."
"Apparently, studying abroad is a big thing there. Word travels fast. I mean, it's not every day somepony gets to trade classes for a chance to study 'the magic of friendship.'"
"Yeah, I guess you're right."
"Well, I should probably be heading back. You wouldn't believe what I had to go through to get Princess Celestia to let me come here."
"Uh...okay, then. Thanks for the, uh, papers?"
Now what the heck am I going to do with these?
