They aren't exactly big pages! Anyway, I'm writing from the top of the Statue of Liberneigh. I have a great view from up here. I can see almost as far as Neighra Falls! I have to remember to send a postcard. This place is really cool. The Statue of Liberneigh has a really interesting history. It was imported from the Macintosh Hills back when it was only a territory of Equestria! The ponies there were really generous to give Manehattan this wonderful statue! Love, Fruit Pack Dear Diary, I had a busy day after the Statue of Liberneigh! I went to Bridleway and watched Anniegh. I do wonder, what kind of parents name their foal Anneigh? I know she's an orphan, but it's not an appealing name. At least, in my opinion. Right now, I'm on the train out of Manehattan. It was really fun here, but I'm a tourist, and it's time to see a different city! Next stop: another coastal city: Fillydelphia! I'm going to turn my lamp down now and say goodnight. Love, Fruit Pack Dear Diary, I just got a brochure about Fillydelphia. It seems like a really interesting place! I'm in my hotel room right now. Going to see some sights! Love, Fruit Pack Dear Diary, I hate to say that Fillydelphia isn't a great place. All they do is brag about their wing power record! Remember the intresting brochure I mentioned? Every tour guide works wing power into the tour! They're mostly pegasi here, and I can't help but wonder if they look down on Earth Ponies and Unicorns? Oh well. The food here is delicious, especially with my own grapes as a side dish. Love, Fruit Pack Page 3Dear Diary, Still in Fillydelphia. I went to see the Liberneigh Bell, something I missed yesterday. The view is really pretty. I know I'm contradicting what I said yesterday, but things are looking brighter today. I'm contemplating on whether or not to go to Hollow Shades. It's a really small town. Maybe I'll stay for a few hours? Love, Fruit Pack Dear Diary, I'm in Hollow Shades! Sorry I didn't write on the train, I was sleeping. It was a night ride. Hollow Shades has a gloomy look to it, which makes it really cozy. The ponies here are hospitable and eccentric. They gave me tips for storing fruits over long periods of time. Will use. One pony here is named Wind Spirit. She's really pretty and nice. Her coltfriend just proposed to her. Isn't that sweet? She told me how this was the second wedding in Hollow Shades, and how everypony here is basically family. Except, they aren't all family. If they were, how would Wind Spirit's coltfriend be able to propose? They would be related. Going to lunch now. Love, Fruit Pack Dear Diary Went on a berry picking expedition this afternoon. One pony named Heights accidentally fell into a really thorny bush. It took forever to get him out! I get to keep the berries. Leaving in the morning, though. Remember when I said I'd only stay a couple hours? Plans changed. I really like this place! Love, Fruit Pack Dear Diary, Left Hollow Shades this morning. I promised to write Wind Spirit when I finish my tour of Equestria. Probably not for a long time. On my way to Canterlot. I went once when I was a filly. It was so glamorous! I hope it will be the same this time around! Love, Fruit Pack Page 5Dear Diary, I have a new friend! His name is Thorn, and we're going to be pen pals! Thorn's from Van Hoover, and he has a cool accent! I'm gluing in the picture he gave me. And don't be ridiculous, I don't have a crush on him. But anyway, the train arrived in Dodge Junction and I immediately took a tour of Cherry Jubilee's cherry orchard! She let me have a bag of cherries for free! I preserved them in my backpack using the technique Wind Spirit and the ponies in Hollow Shades showed me. It's late. And dark. Love, Fruit Pack Dear Diary, I spent a couple hours here before I left. It's pretty here, but it's small and there aren't many attractions. In fact, I think Dodge Junction is the smallest town in Equestria! I won't hold that against them. To make up for my short stay, I sent a postcard. Right now I'm on the train to Appleloosa. The ponies with me have told me there's a nice buffalo herd in these parts. I can't wait to meet them! We're almost there. I can see apple trees out my window. Love, Fruit Pack Dear Diary, I've made friends with a young buffalo named Little Strongheart. She's really fast, and I had a friendly race with her. I also had a tour of the apple orchard. The tour guide was named Braeburn. He let us harvest a few apples. I'm not really one for apples, I prefer berries and grapes. Instead of sleeping in a hotel, Little Strongheart and Chief Thunderhooves let me sleep with the tribe! It's all starry out and there's a campfire so I can easily right in my diary. If I ever published a book on tourist destinations, I would definitely recommend meet the Buffalo. They are interesting and fun! Love, Fruit Pack Dear Diary, I'm staying here until tomorrow evening! This place is amazing! I just got back from a town dance. I don't know a lot about Wild West dancing, but I quickly learned! I danced with just about every stallion! I even took my mane down from its bun for once! Why do they it "Wild West", anyway? It's in the south, not ~~weast~~ west! I just accidentally spelled west wrong. First time I've misspelled something in this diary. Love, Fruit Pack Page 6Dear Diary, Today's my last day in Appleloosa. I'm so getting a cowpony hat later! Love, Fruit Pack Dear Diary, I'm on my way to Los Pegasus. It's a long ride. Visited the shops and stuff in Appleoosa. That saloon place, I think it was called Salt Lick Saloon, it wasn't my idea of a good time, but I went anyway. I got my hat. It's brown with a green ribbon. The shade of green was the same as the grapes in my Cutie Mark. Los Pegasus is filled with film stars. I heard Photo Finish was born there. But anyway, it sounds like a nice place, and I hope the stars in Applewood aren't stuck up. They sometimes are. Maybe I'll get a tour of Applewood! Love, Fruit Pack Dear Diary, Las Pegasus is 5-star quality! I'm so excited to be here! The pony running the hotel is super nice! I even booked a tour of Applewood studios for this afternoon! When I'm finished I'll tape my ticket in here. They have quite an assortment of fruits here. :) Love, Fruit Pack Dear Diary, The tour was amazing! I got to watch a real movie being filmed. The guide explained how filming worked, and he showed us the crew editing a scene. It looks so different than when it's on film! After it was over, I went to dinner at a pizza place. The pizza was delicious, and the waiter was friendly. I want to write a book about my experiences and the nice ponies I've met! Love, Fruit Pack Author's Note Ticket made by ZuTheSkunk: http://zutheskunk.deviantart.com/art/MLP-Resource-Gala-Ticket-227361070 Page 7Dear Diary, Next day in Los Pegasus. I've decided to stay a week. This place has so much to do in it I could just sing! If I do, I'll write the lyrics here later. Postcards and souvenirs, here I come! Love, Fruit Pack Dear Diary, Los Pegasus Los Pegasus, You're so big! You're so beautiful! I can't wait to explore! Los Pegasus! Los Pegasus! That was my song. It's still Day 2 of 6. Toured the Museum of Ocean History. They have lots of fossils left on shores, so scientists made a museum of it. It was really interesting. There used to be whales as small as my hooves! Love, Fruit Pack Dear Diary, Today was ~~2~~ 3 of 7. After the talk about oceans yesterday, I went for a swim! The water was nice and cool. On the beach, I played volleyball with some other mares. It was so fun! We lost, but I don't mind. Wrote a letter to Wind Spirit afterwards. I told her about my travels and how it was so fun. How many days have gone by? 14? 17? I have no clue. :) Love, Fruit Pack Dear Diary, Today I went to a zoo! The animals were so cute! My favorite was the seals. There was a baby seal, and she was so ~~cute~~ UTTERLY ADORABLE! I bought a keychain for my backpack. It says "I love seals." This trip is so fun! Love, Fruit Pack Dear Diary, It's the 5th day. I spent the day sight seeing and snapping photos. I had the best idea to make a scrapbook! Separate from this, though. I didn't go to a restaurant tonight. I had my berry preserves for dinner. They're delicious. So I was sightseeing on a pony-drawn carriage all day! Each building was so beautiful, I must have taken a million pictures of each once! Maybe tomorrow I can get my picture under the Applewood sign. If that's ~~aloud~~ allowed. But why wouldn't it be allowed? Love, Fruit Pack Page 8Dear Diary, It's my second to last day in Los Pegasus. I got the picture I wanted after all! There is a tour that leads up to the Applewood sign. Me and some other ponies stood under and got our pictures taken. It was so fun! I sent a postcard to Thorn today. I don't know if he's finished traveling (probably not) but if he isn't, it'll be waiting for him when he gets home. Love, Fruit Pack Dear Diary, It's morning on my last day. The sunrise is super pretty. I hope I have a great time before heading out to wherever I decide to go. I'll decide later. Love, Fruit Pack Dear Diary, I have decided to travel up the coast to Tall Tale. I did a little more sight seeing before I left. I got to go to a really neat pizza parlor, a different one. It's raining outside. The rain is noisy on the window panes. It's so pretty, peering out the window into the wet forests. I think most things are pretty. Inside the car, it's lit by one lamp at the end. There's ~~9~~ 14 ponies in my car. I think I'll talk to some of them. Love, Fruit Pack Dear Diary, The ponies on the train weren't in the mood for talking. I'm in Tall Tale now, at my hotel. They don't have great accommodations, probably because ponies rarely visit Tall Tale. The only reason this place is big is because families have lived her for generations. At least, that's what my old history teacher told me. Later, I'm going to on a photo spree, and head down to the shopping center to pick up souvenirs. Love, Fruit Pack Page 10Dear Diary, It all got resolved today. I explained this morning that I was the wrong pony and I proved it with my Cutie Mark. They were alright with it, and said I could still use the luxury loft until the real pony got here. The pony they were looking for, by the way, was named Blue Cutie. She is a backup dancer of Sapphire Shores's. After they showed me a picture, I understood why they would mistake her for me. I got a copy of her picture. It's not very high quality, is it? You'd think they'd have a better picture. Blue Cutie is coming in the next couple days, so I'll probably stick around until she comes. Anyway, I'm writing this during lunch. It's ice cabbage salad. Delicious. Of course, it goes really well with me berries. :D Love, Fruit Pack Dear Diary, Blue Cutie came at noon today. She's really exciting! She showed off her dance moves for the ponies and tourists here. I guess she was mainly advertising for Sapphire Shores, but she wasn't snooty and uptight. I don't know any pony that is. I got her autograph, by the way. She's a real celebrity! Love, Fruit Pack Dear Diary, Went on a museum tour today. Interesting. Basically everything is interesting! The mane exhibits were old pieces of furniture from the first couple years Vanhoover was founded. It's actually a very old town! Love, Fruit Pack Page 11Dear Diary, I lost my pink pen on the train today. It's noon, and I'm almost to Ponyville. The Bearers of the Elements of Harmony live there! Won't that be cool? I've heard that Ponyville is a wonderful little town and I can't wait to get there! I need to get postcards for Thorn and Wind Spirit. To my parents, too. It's warm in the train car and there's sunshine out. See you later! Love, Fruit Pack Dear Diary, The ponies here are so friendly! This one pony, Pinkie Pie, gave me a list of everypony in town! She's the Element of Laughter, and guess what? I've already met her before! She was on the ferry to Manehattan! So ~~we're~~ were the other Elements! I'm so excited about that! Pinkie Pie works at Sugarcube Corner. They have Delicious goodies there! Really good! It's run by Mr. and Mrs. Cake. I'm reading their names of the list Pinkie gave me. She told me it wasn't even complete! Mayor Mare Twilight Sparkle Applejack Big Macintosh Pinkie Pie Berry Punch Sweetie Drops Lyra Heartstrings Rising Star Fluttershy Apple Bloom Sweetie Belle Mrs. Cake Mr. Cake Pumpkin Cake Pound Cake Cipher Splash Mystery Mint Tennis Match Scootaloo Rarity Sassaflash Sprinkle Medley Sunshower Raindrops Derpy Hooves Dr. Hooves Coco Crusoe Caramel Cerulean Skies Merry May Starlight Sonata Dusk Flutter Stormwalker Thunderlane Rumble Filthy Rich Diamond Tiara Aloe Lotus Blossom Silver Speed Silver Spoon Golden Harvest Minuette Blossomforth Daisy Lily Valley Rose Cheerilee Pipsqueak Snips Snails Button Mash Footsie Flute Piña Colada Noi Ruby Pinch Amethyst Star Lemon Hearts Twist Drama Letter Cloud Kicker Lilac Links Chocolate Haze Chocolate Blueberry Lucky Clover Cherry Crash Vinyl Scratch Twinkleshine Sweetie Sunrise Featherweight And like I said, Pinkie didn't even make me a full list! I just hung around town and snapped a few photos and ~~visted~~ visited a few shops. They don't have museums here, but it is still so AWESOME! Love, Fruit Pack Page 12Dear Diary, Remind me to stay friends with Pinkie Pie for forever. She convinced the entire town to get in a photo with me as a postcard! It's amazing and I have no idea how she was able to do that! I'm right up front. Pinkie Pie is on my right, and her friend Rarity (who won fashion week!) Is on my left. I sent one to my parents, one to Thorn, and one to Wind Spirit. Now I think about it, maybe I should have gotten an extra to tape in here. Hoof cramp! Fruit Pack Dear Diary, Guess where I'm staying tonight? Cloudsdale! Twilight Sparkle, the unicorn who lives in a tree (!) cast a spell on me so I can walk on clouds. Rainbow Dash and Sassaflash flew me up to Cloudsdale! In a few minutes, I'm going to have dinner with the Wonderbolts! Love, Fruit Pack Dear Diary, It's 10:54. I'm in Rainbow Dash's guest bedroom, after the dinner with ~~rlt~~ the Wonderbolts. Wave Chill was really funny! ~~Rainbow Dash~~ How did she get us in anyways? I have no idea. Anyway, Rainbow mostly hung out with Soarin and Spitfire Dinner was fog soup, which is actually spicy. And for dessert we had chocolate cake. Clouds are bouncy. It took me a minute to get my balance. This is a really fun trip! Love, Fruit Pack Page 14Dear Diary, I guess I should clarify that I haven't written in a few days. I didn't want to waste a single moment not watching the beautiful view! There was something amazing today, though. A dragon passed over the fields today! An actual dragon! It wasn't like the baby dragon that Twilight has as an assistant. This one was deep blue with broad scaly wings. It was beautiful! So I just had to stop and record this because, while dragons sometimes do fly around Equestria, they don't very often. Love, Fruit Pack Dear Diary, I'm gonna start counting down the days until the Equestria Games, even though it isn't for another 1 1/2 months! 43 days to go. I'm on a train to Galloping Gorge now. Yes, my wonderful trek has ended! I never thought I'd say "wonderful trek!" And anyways, Galloping Gorge is a way popular tourist attraction. I forgot to go! How did I forget to go? I went once as a filly, but I was scared stiff of falling. Now that I'm older, I won't have that problem. Will be there soon! Love, Fruit Pack Dear Diary, 41 days to go. Sorry I didn't write ~~yesterdyw~~ yesterday, I had a blast at Galloping Gorge! The tour guide was really nice! She let me take a small chunk of rock that is only found in Galloping Gorge! Also, I ate some of my berry preserves. They're delicious. Shared some with other tourists. Now I'm far up North, going even farther than the Crystal Empire! The trip takes all day, so it's getting a little bit boring. I wish I could get mail from Thorn, Spirit Wind, and my parents, but since I'm traveling they have nowhere to send it. Love, Fruit Pack Page 15Dear Diary, 40 days until the Equestria Games. It's really really cold up here! We're all in a small cottage. Not very crowded, since most ponies don't want to visit up here. Most of them are pegasi. We've just got hot chocolate, and now the tour guide, Gusty Trail, is talking to us about how the mountains were formed, animals that live here (just two: polar bears and snow foxes), all that stuff. The weather here isn't controlled by ponies. But it isn't bizarre, like the Everfree Forest is. That was one thing I learned back in Ponyville. It's amazing how I can read and listen at the same time! Love, Fruit Pack Dear Diary, 39 days. Returning back to places less cold. I have no idea what I'm going to do now. I planned to travel until Equestria Games, but I guess I could just return home, to Neighagra Falls. It would be so nice to see Mom and Dad. And I guess I could catch up on mail! So it's decided, then. Funny how writing stuff down can help make a ~~descision~~ decision! Love, Fruit Pack Dear Diary, On my way home. Just wanted to say that. Love, Fruit Pack Page 17Dear Diary, 25 more days. Over the past few days, I've been thinking. Should I move out of Neighagra Falls? Be independent? That would be so fun. It would be like being a tourist all day long! I'm not sure, though. I'm going to think it over. Lately, it's been boring. I ran out of cool memories to share with my friends (how could I even say that?) so mostly I've been just tending the berry patch and lounging around. Love, Fruit Pack Dear Diary, 24 mores days until the Equestria Games! I've started looking through the lists of athletes competing. Rainbow Dash and her friend named Fluttershy are in it! There are also the Wonderbolts (obviously) and even some Griffin teams. There's ice archery and everything. Yay! Can't wait! Love, Fruit Pack Dear Diary, 22 days left! Today some of my friend's younger sisters and their friends came over and we pretended we were in the Equestria Games. It was so cute! Sometimes they fell over, and I had to help them get back up. By~~e~~ the way, I've complied some of my adventures into a booklet. You know how I always mentioned writing a tourist book? It's so miniature and cute! Love, Fruit Pack Page 20Dear Diary, 7 days until the Games! Tomorrow, my family and friends and I are leaving for the Crystal Empire! Even th~~e~~ough the Equestria Games don't start for another week, the tourist ratings are apparently awesome for the Crystal Empire. We get to spend a whole week there! With us going tomorrow, today was basically packing, packing, packing. I'm tired now. Good night! Love, Fruit Pack Dear Diary, 6 more days! And several hours ' till we arrive in the Crystal Empire! I'm on the train right now. My friends are chatting. Briar Berry just asked what I was writing. She's reading over my shoulder now. Hi! I'm Briaar Berry and I'm Fruit Pack's frie She just took my pen. Write later (When Briar isn't around!) Love, Fruit Pack Dear Diary, Later. I'm in my room that I share with Briar, Raspberry, Lila, and Sweetpea Punch. There are cystals everywhere! It's so beautiful! I've already met several Crystal ponies. They're so nice and innocent, like nothing in the world can go wrong! Even though things have for them, in the past. They're so optimistic! Out for a tour! Love, Fruit Pack Page 21Dear Diary, 5 more days!!!!!! Today I got a Crystal mudbath! It's weird at first, but when you get used to it it's actually very relaxing. Later, we ~~past~~ passed by the stadium where the Games will be held. It's so huge! I just can't wait!! Also, ate my berries. :) The berries are super important! Love, Fruit Pack (Very excited!!!!!!!!!!!) Dear Diary, 4 more days! It's morning and I just want to tell you our plans before I leave. Have a more detailed tour of the Crystal Palace, my friends and I will get our manes done in a Crystal way, and then lunch. After that it's R and R in the hotel room! Love, Fruit Pack Dear Diary, Very late. It was all fun! My manedo is still in. It's so pretty! My friends and I had a pillow fight a while ago. The Crystal Palace is so amazing and historical! Lila was ecstatic! I can hear Briar snoring right now. She's out like a lamp! Love, Fruit Pack Dear Diary, Hi, it's Briar! I'm writing in yellow ink because I happen to have it! I can't believe she wrote in that I snore! Anyway, Fruit Pack doesn't know yet hat I'm doing this, but I'll bet she rip the page out. Sorry about grammar! Fruit Pack's very excited about this all. I think it's cool- got to go! Dear Diary, As obvious, I didn't rip Briar's "entry" out. 3 more days. Lila dragged us to the library to read up on stuff. It's not my thing, but it's interesting. It's interesting. I might lock this thing up so Briar can't find it. Love, Fruit Pack Page 22Dear Diary, Tomorrow is the Equestria Games! (Sorry I haven't written in a couple days!) Early this morning Sweetpea got stuck between to Crystals. It took forever to pull her out! She's a bit clumsy, but that doesn't matter. Wore my Neighagra Falls shirt today. Also, ate berries. Love, Fruit Pack I can't believe Fruit Pack is letting us write in her diary! Especially after she threatened to lockk it up after I stole it! I'm Briar Berry, and I'm one of Fruit Pack's friends. I might be called a snoop, but it's so natural! I can easily sneak stuff and eavesdrop and everything! I'm Lila, and I guess you could call me knowledge obsessed. I'm another one of Fruit Pack's friends, but if I wasn't, would she be allowing me to write in her diary? I guess that would be funny, a stranger writing in your diary. I'm Sweetpea Punch! And Fruit Pack already mentioned that I'm a little bit clumsy! I'm embarrassed about the Crystal thing! I'm the only Unicorn among us, and I love hanging out with my friends! Fruit Pack, you didn't need to find my baby album. You didn't. Raspberry Crumble here. I'm almost as excited about the Equestria Games as Fruit Pack is! She has neglected to mention I baked special cookies for the occasion! Yum! Dear Diary, I decided to make this interesting and let my friends write in my diary! That way, even if I'm forever traveling Equestria, they'll be with me forever! Sappy, maybe, but true! And Raspberry's right, her cookies are delicious. It's night time. How can I sleep? The Equestria Games are in mere hours! They start the next morning! Yay! Love, Fruit Pack! :D OH MY GOSH DAY ONE WAS AMAZING! The photographer took this picture of Prince Shining Armor!!!! I got a copy!!! The Games were so amazing, and it's only the first day!! They aerial relays were amazing, and Neighagra Falls placed second in the gymnastics competition! So proud! :D My friends and I wore our awesome gear. Running out ofroom!LoveFruitPack! Page 23Dear Diary, Watching the Games is so fun! Once, a young dragon named Spike came up to sing the Cloudsdale Anthem, and it was clear he had no idea what he was doing! Most of the ponies in the stadium groaned, but I thought it was cute, like the way a little foal would sing. I also introduced my friends to Wind Spirit. She and Sweetpea bonded almost instantly! Have to rest up for the final day of Games tomorrow! Love, Fruit Pack Dear Diary, The scariest/ most amazing/ exciting thing happened today! During the last event, ice archery, one archer accidentally shot an arrow into the cloud! Next thing you know, there's a giant hunk of ice threatening to crush us all! My friends and I were terrified. All the Pegasi in the crowd rushed up to stop it, but they couldn't. You know who saved us? The dragon from yesterday, Spike! He's a hero! He used his Dragon fire breath to melt it down!!! The Equestria Games are over, and we're leaving for Neighagra Falls in the morning. It was more exciting than I ever dreamed! Love, Fruit Pack Dear Diary, I have made up my mind. I want to live on my own now. I've decided to move to Manehattan! I'll miss my friends, but I know that I'll always remember them, and of course I'll write to them and send them birthday gifts and visit them! Life is one big adventure! I can't wait to live it! Love, Fruit Pack P.S. I'm leaving next week! Author's Note Well, this is the end of Dear Diary! Obviously, her diary isn't 23 pages long, I only published 23 of her many, many pages! I hope you enjoyed reading through Fruit Pack's POV! Page 1Dear Diary, Hi! I'm Fruit Pack! Someponies might call me crazy, writing in a diary like I'm talking to a pony. I think it's fun! Right now I'm in Nieghra Falls, my hometown. I'm going to be leaving soon. I'm going on a long trip across Equestria, as a tourist! It's gonna be so awesome! I'm supposed to be packing right now, but all I really need is some bits, rain gear, and my fruit, so I figured I'd stop and write in you. My first stop is Manehattan, which isn't too far from here. I'm leaving by train tomorrow. Love, Fruit Pack Dear Diary, I'm on the train! It's really exciting, but I'm also a bit nervous. The mare next to me is a pink unicorn. I'm sure she doesn't want me writing about her, though, so I won't go into detail. A couple minutes ago, we were just served salad off the food cart. It was really good. I don't think I'll need to eat for a while! My tummy is getting butterflies just thinking about all the exciting ponies I'll meet! And the exciting things I'm going to see! I have to go now. Hopefully, I'll write more once I'm in my hotel! Love, Fruit Pack Dear Diary, I'm in Manhattan now! It's so exciting! On the ferry I met six mares from Ponyville. One unicorn began to sing about being in Manehattan. It was a very nice song. It's pretty dreary out, right now. I had trouble finding a cab, so I decided to walk instead. This is such a cozy room. It's pretty cheap, because I can't afford to spend all my bits on one room! One pony that I managed to talk to was named Strawberry Ice. She had a super pretty mane. Of course, we didn't chat long. She had somewhere to go. She told me how Manehattan had lots of fashion forward ponies. Maybe I'll check out one of the fashion shows! Love, Fruit Pack Dear Diary, I'm writing out on the streets! I just left a fashion show, and let me tell you, some of the designs were amazing! But I'm not going to focus on just fashion shows! I have other attractions to see, like Bridleway! Or maybe a museum! And definitely the Statue of Liberneigh! I saw that on my way in! Love, Fruit Pack! Page 4Dear Diary, Just bought a post card to send to my family. The following things I really hope I get to do: -Meet Princess Celestia! -Meet Princess Luna!! -Go to a Wonderbolts Derby! -Fly on a fancy yacht! Canterlot is so exciting! Write later! Love, Fruit Pack Dear Diary, Canterlot is so lovely! They have awesome buildings, and many of the ponies are friendly! Almost all of them are! I went to the art gallery and Princess Celestia walked in! I was in a room with a princess! How exciting is that? I just realized, that with the Equestria Games coming up, I'd better make my trip correspond to that. My last stop is the Crystal Empire anyway, so I might as well take my time and be ready to speed up if I'm too slow. I went to the Traders' Exchange last Equestria Games. I didn't find anything if worth, sorry to say, and I won't be missing out on anything this year! Love, Fruit Pack Dear Diary, Traveled on a yacht today. I loved the wind! It was just like the ferry in Manehattan. I was running low on bits, so I stopped at the Canterlot Bank and withdrew some of my savings. The teller was really nice. Canterlot is nice! When I get married and have foals, I'm going to take them here! But that won't be for a while. Right now, I'm happy to be free and single! :D Love, Fruit Pack Dear Diary, I had to flip a coin between Ponyville and Baltimare. Baltimare won. I figure I'll stay a few days, then go to Dodge Junction. After that, I'm Appleoosa bound! There's a stallion next to me. I don't have many stallion friends. I think I should make some. Stallions aren't disgusting and they don't have cooties. Love, Fruit Pack Page 9Dear Diary, Talk about a great souvenir! There was this one pony downtown who drew portraits! He made one for me! In it, I'm looking awestruck out on an ocean. It reminds me of how I felt on the Manehattan ferry! Too bad I can't paste it into here, it's too big! I got a shirt at the shopping center. On the front, it has a picture of a pony who is clearly exaggerating a story to her friends. 'Tale Tale' is printed right above it. I think it's adorable! Another town of friendly ponies! Can't wait until tomorrow! Love, Fruit Pack Dear Diary, Today I watched the Pegasi here clear the clouds away. It's amazing here! This is exactly why I wanted to be a tourist. I wore my shirt all day. At my half of my supply of berries for breakfast. Delicious. I hope I can get some grapes here. If it's one thing I like more than traveling, it's fruit! Love, Fruit Pack Dear Diary, This morning I found a pink quill on the floor of the train station. I asked around, but nopony claimed it. So I decided to take it. It adds flair to my writing! Next stop, Van Hoover! Thorn's hometown! I've heard that it's pretty cold up there. About a moon until the Equestria Games. I'll hit Ponyville after this, and maybe Cloudsdale. If I can book a balloon tour! Love, Fruit Pack Dear Diary, I had one craaazy day today! It's my first day in Van Hoover Vanhoover, and I'm in a deluxe apartment all to myself! The ponies here mistook me for somepony else, and despite my protests I wasn't who they thought I was, they insisted I get a heated apartment. When I say apartment, I mean a loft above the tiny apartments. It's pretty cosy in here, I just hope it doesn't turn into a cliche 'Keep the Celebrity Lookalike Captive' scenario. :) I hope I resolve this tomorrow. Love, Fruit Pack Page 13Dear Diary, Today Rainbow Dash took me to the Cloudsdale Stadium! It was super humongous!! And it was super pretty too! She told me a cool story about a couple years ago, when she performed a Sonic Rainboom during the Best Young Fliers Competition! And she also saved Rarity from her doom! And She saved the Wonderbolts! Anyway, I watched her show off her stuff until some Cloudsdale residents came by and asked if I wanted to tour the Weather Factory. It was cool. Literally. It was freezing in that place, but Pegasi are immune to cold air because they live up in it, so I was the only one shivering. I got to wear a white jacket and a hard hat and it was so amazing! I learned some interesting facts, like how Cloudsdale is the weather capital of the known world! I knew about being weather capital of Equestria, but this now includes the Griffon Kingdom and such! I'm really tired from my exciting day but I had to write all the details! Love, Fruit Pack Dear Diary, It's noon. I am traveling across the Unicorn Plains. I had no idea it was legal until this morning! I decided to get a really awesome look at Equestria, and what better than to travel on hoof???! Everything is curvy and also flat, and there are no trees for miles! The air is fresh and springy and not too hot. I've seen a couple rabbits so far. Actually, I left about an hour ago. But I'm well packed, and if I get stranded out here, I can just build a shelter and wait for rain. (By the way, yesterday I learned that the reason it rains at least once a week is because if there ever was a lost pony, they wouldn't die of dehydration.) Gonna keep on going now. Pitch a tent later. Love, Fruit Pack Dear Diary, It is later. It is about to rain. I hope your pages don't get soiled. Love, Fruit Pack Page 16Dear Diary, 29 more days. I'm sorry I have written in a while. I've been busy. For example, I had to sort through all my mail, do my chores (yes, I have to), send extra postcards, make reservations for the Equestria Games (this early!) and respond to my mail and hang out with my family. One other thing I have to do is tend to my berry garden. My mom's been doing it for me while I was gone, and it's gotten pretty big. I used the preservation technique the ponies at Willow Falls taught me. I really enjoy telling my family about my travels across Equestria. And of course, I was so caught up in this I forgot to write. So here's an update now. Love, Fruit Pack Dear Diary, 27 more days. Today I went to the store with my friends. Neighagra Falls is only being represented in two events, but we wanted to show spirit! We got flags and necklaces and shirts and pom poms with the Neighagra Falls colors- pale blue, white, and yellow. I probably won't be wearing much of it, otherwise I'd look like a wreck! But it's still fun to have all that stuff. Besides, what if I see some poor pony without a home in the cold? I could give them my shirt! That sounds weird, I guess, but it isn't! Love, Fruit Pack Dear Diary, 26 more days. I don't know how, but my friend Bluebelle took me to the library to do research on the Equestria Games. She's crazy about that stuff! I don't need to know history to enjoy the Games, though. Still, it's interesting. The games originated in Cloudsdale, as a pegasus only event, then expanded to the entire country only five hundred years ago! Besides that, I harvested some of my ripe berries. Love, Fruit Pack Page 18Dear Diary, 21 days left! Today I harvest some of my berries and sold them. Later, my friends and I went up to the Falls. They are so pretty! I should have "dragged" my friends along on my tourist adventure! They would have loved it! I love doing these fun trips with them! Love, Fruit Pack Dear Diary, 14 days left until the Games! It seems like I'm writing in leaps and bounds! It's been a week since I last wrote! Yesterday I got a postcard from Wind Spirit. She says she'll be coming to the Equestria Games! I'll get to see her then! I have to remember to visit Hollow Shades when I get the chance! Today My friends' and their younger sisters played a mini version of the Equestria Games. They made medals out of leaves! It's adorable! Love, Fruit Pack Dear Diary, 13 days until the Equestria Games! Right now, I'm outside in a tent. My friends and I have been catching fireflies for the past hour. It has just occurred to me how much we act like fillies. But it's fun and that's nothing to be ashamed of! We're having a camp out tonight. It's so fun! The sky sparkles with stars. The air is the perfect temperature! Can tonight get any better? Maybe s'mores later... Love, Fruit Pack Page 19Dear Diary, 12 more days until the Equestria Games. Today my friends and I went to see a movie called Barrel Jumper. It's about a pony who jumps over Neighagra Falls in a barrel. It released when I was gone and everypony loves it apparently! As for me, it wasn't too bad. I enjoyed it, especially the part where the main character, Mania Magic, says she wants to see the entire world! I've seen practically all of Equestria! Love, Fruit Pack Dear Diary, 11 days left. I'm impatient for once. I want the Games to come now! But I'm stuck in my usual life, not that that's a bad thing. it's he not really important to write that I went to the grocery store today. It's still fun here! Today my friend Raspberry Crumble baked cookies and we all came over and ate them. Raspberry makes really good cookies like that! Love, Fruit Pack Dear Diary, 10 days until the Games. You know what my mom did? She gave my foal album to my friends so they could look through it! That thing is so embarrassing! I hate my old nickname, Ruby Splash. My dad came up with it. And no offense to him, because he's a great dad, but I don't like it. But my friends rolled around on the floor all afternoon, looking at baby me slobbering over my rattle. Maybe tomorrow I'll find their baby albums! Love, Fruit Pack Dear Diary, Today I went over to Raspberry Crumble's house, and her mom gave me Raspberry's foal album. She drooled more than I did! If I could, I'd take a picture and put it in here! But I can't, and that would be kinda stalkerish. :) Love, Fruit Pack P.S. 9 days till the Equestria Games!
Page 2Dear Diary, I'm surprised I was able to fit 3 entries on one page! They aren't exactly big pages! Anyway, I'm writing from the top of the Statue of Liberneigh. I have a great view from up here. I can see almost as far as Neighra Falls! I have to remember to send a postcard. This place is really cool. The Statue of Liberneigh has a really interesting history. It was imported from the Macintosh Hills back when it was only a territory of Equestria! The ponies there were really generous to give Manehattan this wonderful statue! Love, Fruit Pack Dear Diary, I had a busy day after the Statue of Liberneigh! I went to Bridleway and watched Anniegh. I do wonder, what kind of parents name their foal Anneigh? I know she's an orphan, but it's not an appealing name. At least, in my opinion. Right now, I'm on the train out of Manehattan. It was really fun here, but I'm a tourist, and it's time to see a different city! Next stop: another coastal city: Fillydelphia! I'm going to turn my lamp down now and say goodnight. Love, Fruit Pack Dear Diary, I just got a brochure about Fillydelphia. It seems like a really interesting place! I'm in my hotel room right now. Going to see some sights! Love, Fruit Pack Dear Diary, I hate to say that Fillydelphia isn't a great place. All they do is brag about their wing power record! Remember the intresting brochure I mentioned? Every tour guide works wing power into the tour! They're mostly pegasi here, and I can't help but wonder if they look down on Earth Ponies and Unicorns? Oh well. The food here is delicious, especially with my own grapes as a side dish. Love, Fruit Pack
Page 3Dear Diary, Still in Fillydelphia. I went to see the Liberneigh Bell, something I missed yesterday. The view is really pretty. I know I'm contradicting what I said yesterday, but things are looking brighter today. I'm contemplating on whether or not to go to Hollow Shades. It's a really small town. Maybe I'll stay for a few hours? Love, Fruit Pack Dear Diary, I'm in Hollow Shades! Sorry I didn't write on the train, I was sleeping. It was a night ride. Hollow Shades has a gloomy look to it, which makes it really cozy. The ponies here are hospitable and eccentric. They gave me tips for storing fruits over long periods of time. Will use. One pony here is named Wind Spirit. She's really pretty and nice. Her coltfriend just proposed to her. Isn't that sweet? She told me how this was the second wedding in Hollow Shades, and how everypony here is basically family. Except, they aren't all family. If they were, how would Wind Spirit's coltfriend be able to propose? They would be related. Going to lunch now. Love, Fruit Pack Dear Diary Went on a berry picking expedition this afternoon. One pony named Heights accidentally fell into a really thorny bush. It took forever to get him out! I get to keep the berries. Leaving in the morning, though. Remember when I said I'd only stay a couple hours? Plans changed. I really like this place! Love, Fruit Pack Dear Diary, Left Hollow Shades this morning. I promised to write Wind Spirit when I finish my tour of Equestria. Probably not for a long time. On my way to Canterlot. I went once when I was a filly. It was so glamorous! I hope it will be the same this time around! Love, Fruit Pack
Page 5Dear Diary, I have a new friend! His name is Thorn, and we're going to be pen pals! Thorn's from Van Hoover, and he has a cool accent! I'm gluing in the picture he gave me. And don't be ridiculous, I don't have a crush on him. But anyway, the train arrived in Dodge Junction and I immediately took a tour of Cherry Jubilee's cherry orchard! She let me have a bag of cherries for free! I preserved them in my backpack using the technique Wind Spirit and the ponies in Hollow Shades showed me. It's late. And dark. Love, Fruit Pack Dear Diary, I spent a couple hours here before I left. It's pretty here, but it's small and there aren't many attractions. In fact, I think Dodge Junction is the smallest town in Equestria! I won't hold that against them. To make up for my short stay, I sent a postcard. Right now I'm on the train to Appleloosa. The ponies with me have told me there's a nice buffalo herd in these parts. I can't wait to meet them! We're almost there. I can see apple trees out my window. Love, Fruit Pack Dear Diary, I've made friends with a young buffalo named Little Strongheart. She's really fast, and I had a friendly race with her. I also had a tour of the apple orchard. The tour guide was named Braeburn. He let us harvest a few apples. I'm not really one for apples, I prefer berries and grapes. Instead of sleeping in a hotel, Little Strongheart and Chief Thunderhooves let me sleep with the tribe! It's all starry out and there's a campfire so I can easily right in my diary. If I ever published a book on tourist destinations, I would definitely recommend meet the Buffalo. They are interesting and fun! Love, Fruit Pack Dear Diary, I'm staying here until tomorrow evening! This place is amazing! I just got back from a town dance. I don't know a lot about Wild West dancing, but I quickly learned! I danced with just about every stallion! I even took my mane down from its bun for once! Why do they it "Wild West", anyway? It's in the south, not ~~weast~~ west! I just accidentally spelled west wrong. First time I've misspelled something in this diary. Love, Fruit Pack
Page 6Dear Diary, Today's my last day in Appleloosa. I'm so getting a cowpony hat later! Love, Fruit Pack Dear Diary, I'm on my way to Los Pegasus. It's a long ride. Visited the shops and stuff in Appleoosa. That saloon place, I think it was called Salt Lick Saloon, it wasn't my idea of a good time, but I went anyway. I got my hat. It's brown with a green ribbon. The shade of green was the same as the grapes in my Cutie Mark. Los Pegasus is filled with film stars. I heard Photo Finish was born there. But anyway, it sounds like a nice place, and I hope the stars in Applewood aren't stuck up. They sometimes are. Maybe I'll get a tour of Applewood! Love, Fruit Pack Dear Diary, Las Pegasus is 5-star quality! I'm so excited to be here! The pony running the hotel is super nice! I even booked a tour of Applewood studios for this afternoon! When I'm finished I'll tape my ticket in here. They have quite an assortment of fruits here. :) Love, Fruit Pack Dear Diary, The tour was amazing! I got to watch a real movie being filmed. The guide explained how filming worked, and he showed us the crew editing a scene. It looks so different than when it's on film! After it was over, I went to dinner at a pizza place. The pizza was delicious, and the waiter was friendly. I want to write a book about my experiences and the nice ponies I've met! Love, Fruit Pack Author's Note Ticket made by ZuTheSkunk: http://zutheskunk.deviantart.com/art/MLP-Resource-Gala-Ticket-227361070
Page 7Dear Diary, Next day in Los Pegasus. I've decided to stay a week. This place has so much to do in it I could just sing! If I do, I'll write the lyrics here later. Postcards and souvenirs, here I come! Love, Fruit Pack Dear Diary, Los Pegasus Los Pegasus, You're so big! You're so beautiful! I can't wait to explore! Los Pegasus! Los Pegasus! That was my song. It's still Day 2 of 6. Toured the Museum of Ocean History. They have lots of fossils left on shores, so scientists made a museum of it. It was really interesting. There used to be whales as small as my hooves! Love, Fruit Pack Dear Diary, Today was ~~2~~ 3 of 7. After the talk about oceans yesterday, I went for a swim! The water was nice and cool. On the beach, I played volleyball with some other mares. It was so fun! We lost, but I don't mind. Wrote a letter to Wind Spirit afterwards. I told her about my travels and how it was so fun. How many days have gone by? 14? 17? I have no clue. :) Love, Fruit Pack Dear Diary, Today I went to a zoo! The animals were so cute! My favorite was the seals. There was a baby seal, and she was so ~~cute~~ UTTERLY ADORABLE! I bought a keychain for my backpack. It says "I love seals." This trip is so fun! Love, Fruit Pack Dear Diary, It's the 5th day. I spent the day sight seeing and snapping photos. I had the best idea to make a scrapbook! Separate from this, though. I didn't go to a restaurant tonight. I had my berry preserves for dinner. They're delicious. So I was sightseeing on a pony-drawn carriage all day! Each building was so beautiful, I must have taken a million pictures of each once! Maybe tomorrow I can get my picture under the Applewood sign. If that's ~~aloud~~ allowed. But why wouldn't it be allowed? Love, Fruit Pack
Page 8Dear Diary, It's my second to last day in Los Pegasus. I got the picture I wanted after all! There is a tour that leads up to the Applewood sign. Me and some other ponies stood under and got our pictures taken. It was so fun! I sent a postcard to Thorn today. I don't know if he's finished traveling (probably not) but if he isn't, it'll be waiting for him when he gets home. Love, Fruit Pack Dear Diary, It's morning on my last day. The sunrise is super pretty. I hope I have a great time before heading out to wherever I decide to go. I'll decide later. Love, Fruit Pack Dear Diary, I have decided to travel up the coast to Tall Tale. I did a little more sight seeing before I left. I got to go to a really neat pizza parlor, a different one. It's raining outside. The rain is noisy on the window panes. It's so pretty, peering out the window into the wet forests. I think most things are pretty. Inside the car, it's lit by one lamp at the end. There's ~~9~~ 14 ponies in my car. I think I'll talk to some of them. Love, Fruit Pack Dear Diary, The ponies on the train weren't in the mood for talking. I'm in Tall Tale now, at my hotel. They don't have great accommodations, probably because ponies rarely visit Tall Tale. The only reason this place is big is because families have lived her for generations. At least, that's what my old history teacher told me. Later, I'm going to on a photo spree, and head down to the shopping center to pick up souvenirs. Love, Fruit Pack
Page 10Dear Diary, It all got resolved today. I explained this morning that I was the wrong pony and I proved it with my Cutie Mark. They were alright with it, and said I could still use the luxury loft until the real pony got here. The pony they were looking for, by the way, was named Blue Cutie. She is a backup dancer of Sapphire Shores's. After they showed me a picture, I understood why they would mistake her for me. I got a copy of her picture. It's not very high quality, is it? You'd think they'd have a better picture. Blue Cutie is coming in the next couple days, so I'll probably stick around until she comes. Anyway, I'm writing this during lunch. It's ice cabbage salad. Delicious. Of course, it goes really well with me berries. :D Love, Fruit Pack Dear Diary, Blue Cutie came at noon today. She's really exciting! She showed off her dance moves for the ponies and tourists here. I guess she was mainly advertising for Sapphire Shores, but she wasn't snooty and uptight. I don't know any pony that is. I got her autograph, by the way. She's a real celebrity! Love, Fruit Pack Dear Diary, Went on a museum tour today. Interesting. Basically everything is interesting! The mane exhibits were old pieces of furniture from the first couple years Vanhoover was founded. It's actually a very old town! Love, Fruit Pack
Page 11Dear Diary, I lost my pink pen on the train today. It's noon, and I'm almost to Ponyville. The Bearers of the Elements of Harmony live there! Won't that be cool? I've heard that Ponyville is a wonderful little town and I can't wait to get there! I need to get postcards for Thorn and Wind Spirit. To my parents, too. It's warm in the train car and there's sunshine out. See you later! Love, Fruit Pack Dear Diary, The ponies here are so friendly! This one pony, Pinkie Pie, gave me a list of everypony in town! She's the Element of Laughter, and guess what? I've already met her before! She was on the ferry to Manehattan! So ~~we're~~ were the other Elements! I'm so excited about that! Pinkie Pie works at Sugarcube Corner. They have Delicious goodies there! Really good! It's run by Mr. and Mrs. Cake. I'm reading their names of the list Pinkie gave me. She told me it wasn't even complete! Mayor Mare Twilight Sparkle Applejack Big Macintosh Pinkie Pie Berry Punch Sweetie Drops Lyra Heartstrings Rising Star Fluttershy Apple Bloom Sweetie Belle Mrs. Cake Mr. Cake Pumpkin Cake Pound Cake Cipher Splash Mystery Mint Tennis Match Scootaloo Rarity Sassaflash Sprinkle Medley Sunshower Raindrops Derpy Hooves Dr. Hooves Coco Crusoe Caramel Cerulean Skies Merry May Starlight Sonata Dusk Flutter Stormwalker Thunderlane Rumble Filthy Rich Diamond Tiara Aloe Lotus Blossom Silver Speed Silver Spoon Golden Harvest Minuette Blossomforth Daisy Lily Valley Rose Cheerilee Pipsqueak Snips Snails Button Mash Footsie Flute Piña Colada Noi Ruby Pinch Amethyst Star Lemon Hearts Twist Drama Letter Cloud Kicker Lilac Links Chocolate Haze Chocolate Blueberry Lucky Clover Cherry Crash Vinyl Scratch Twinkleshine Sweetie Sunrise Featherweight And like I said, Pinkie didn't even make me a full list! I just hung around town and snapped a few photos and ~~visted~~ visited a few shops. They don't have museums here, but it is still so AWESOME! Love, Fruit Pack
Page 12Dear Diary, Remind me to stay friends with Pinkie Pie for forever. She convinced the entire town to get in a photo with me as a postcard! It's amazing and I have no idea how she was able to do that! I'm right up front. Pinkie Pie is on my right, and her friend Rarity (who won fashion week!) Is on my left. I sent one to my parents, one to Thorn, and one to Wind Spirit. Now I think about it, maybe I should have gotten an extra to tape in here. Hoof cramp! Fruit Pack Dear Diary, Guess where I'm staying tonight? Cloudsdale! Twilight Sparkle, the unicorn who lives in a tree (!) cast a spell on me so I can walk on clouds. Rainbow Dash and Sassaflash flew me up to Cloudsdale! In a few minutes, I'm going to have dinner with the Wonderbolts! Love, Fruit Pack Dear Diary, It's 10:54. I'm in Rainbow Dash's guest bedroom, after the dinner with ~~rlt~~ the Wonderbolts. Wave Chill was really funny! ~~Rainbow Dash~~ How did she get us in anyways? I have no idea. Anyway, Rainbow mostly hung out with Soarin and Spitfire Dinner was fog soup, which is actually spicy. And for dessert we had chocolate cake. Clouds are bouncy. It took me a minute to get my balance. This is a really fun trip! Love, Fruit Pack
Page 14Dear Diary, I guess I should clarify that I haven't written in a few days. I didn't want to waste a single moment not watching the beautiful view! There was something amazing today, though. A dragon passed over the fields today! An actual dragon! It wasn't like the baby dragon that Twilight has as an assistant. This one was deep blue with broad scaly wings. It was beautiful! So I just had to stop and record this because, while dragons sometimes do fly around Equestria, they don't very often. Love, Fruit Pack Dear Diary, I'm gonna start counting down the days until the Equestria Games, even though it isn't for another 1 1/2 months! 43 days to go. I'm on a train to Galloping Gorge now. Yes, my wonderful trek has ended! I never thought I'd say "wonderful trek!" And anyways, Galloping Gorge is a way popular tourist attraction. I forgot to go! How did I forget to go? I went once as a filly, but I was scared stiff of falling. Now that I'm older, I won't have that problem. Will be there soon! Love, Fruit Pack Dear Diary, 41 days to go. Sorry I didn't write ~~yesterdyw~~ yesterday, I had a blast at Galloping Gorge! The tour guide was really nice! She let me take a small chunk of rock that is only found in Galloping Gorge! Also, I ate some of my berry preserves. They're delicious. Shared some with other tourists. Now I'm far up North, going even farther than the Crystal Empire! The trip takes all day, so it's getting a little bit boring. I wish I could get mail from Thorn, Spirit Wind, and my parents, but since I'm traveling they have nowhere to send it. Love, Fruit Pack
Page 15Dear Diary, 40 days until the Equestria Games. It's really really cold up here! We're all in a small cottage. Not very crowded, since most ponies don't want to visit up here. Most of them are pegasi. We've just got hot chocolate, and now the tour guide, Gusty Trail, is talking to us about how the mountains were formed, animals that live here (just two: polar bears and snow foxes), all that stuff. The weather here isn't controlled by ponies. But it isn't bizarre, like the Everfree Forest is. That was one thing I learned back in Ponyville. It's amazing how I can read and listen at the same time! Love, Fruit Pack Dear Diary, 39 days. Returning back to places less cold. I have no idea what I'm going to do now. I planned to travel until Equestria Games, but I guess I could just return home, to Neighagra Falls. It would be so nice to see Mom and Dad. And I guess I could catch up on mail! So it's decided, then. Funny how writing stuff down can help make a ~~descision~~ decision! Love, Fruit Pack Dear Diary, On my way home. Just wanted to say that. Love, Fruit Pack
Page 17Dear Diary, 25 more days. Over the past few days, I've been thinking. Should I move out of Neighagra Falls? Be independent? That would be so fun. It would be like being a tourist all day long! I'm not sure, though. I'm going to think it over. Lately, it's been boring. I ran out of cool memories to share with my friends (how could I even say that?) so mostly I've been just tending the berry patch and lounging around. Love, Fruit Pack Dear Diary, 24 mores days until the Equestria Games! I've started looking through the lists of athletes competing. Rainbow Dash and her friend named Fluttershy are in it! There are also the Wonderbolts (obviously) and even some Griffin teams. There's ice archery and everything. Yay! Can't wait! Love, Fruit Pack Dear Diary, 22 days left! Today some of my friend's younger sisters and their friends came over and we pretended we were in the Equestria Games. It was so cute! Sometimes they fell over, and I had to help them get back up. By~~e~~ the way, I've complied some of my adventures into a booklet. You know how I always mentioned writing a tourist book? It's so miniature and cute! Love, Fruit Pack
Page 20Dear Diary, 7 days until the Games! Tomorrow, my family and friends and I are leaving for the Crystal Empire! Even th~~e~~ough the Equestria Games don't start for another week, the tourist ratings are apparently awesome for the Crystal Empire. We get to spend a whole week there! With us going tomorrow, today was basically packing, packing, packing. I'm tired now. Good night! Love, Fruit Pack Dear Diary, 6 more days! And several hours ' till we arrive in the Crystal Empire! I'm on the train right now. My friends are chatting. Briar Berry just asked what I was writing. She's reading over my shoulder now. Hi! I'm Briaar Berry and I'm Fruit Pack's frie She just took my pen. Write later (When Briar isn't around!) Love, Fruit Pack Dear Diary, Later. I'm in my room that I share with Briar, Raspberry, Lila, and Sweetpea Punch. There are cystals everywhere! It's so beautiful! I've already met several Crystal ponies. They're so nice and innocent, like nothing in the world can go wrong! Even though things have for them, in the past. They're so optimistic! Out for a tour! Love, Fruit Pack
Page 21Dear Diary, 5 more days!!!!!! Today I got a Crystal mudbath! It's weird at first, but when you get used to it it's actually very relaxing. Later, we ~~past~~ passed by the stadium where the Games will be held. It's so huge! I just can't wait!! Also, ate my berries. :) The berries are super important! Love, Fruit Pack (Very excited!!!!!!!!!!!) Dear Diary, 4 more days! It's morning and I just want to tell you our plans before I leave. Have a more detailed tour of the Crystal Palace, my friends and I will get our manes done in a Crystal way, and then lunch. After that it's R and R in the hotel room! Love, Fruit Pack Dear Diary, Very late. It was all fun! My manedo is still in. It's so pretty! My friends and I had a pillow fight a while ago. The Crystal Palace is so amazing and historical! Lila was ecstatic! I can hear Briar snoring right now. She's out like a lamp! Love, Fruit Pack Dear Diary, Hi, it's Briar! I'm writing in yellow ink because I happen to have it! I can't believe she wrote in that I snore! Anyway, Fruit Pack doesn't know yet hat I'm doing this, but I'll bet she rip the page out. Sorry about grammar! Fruit Pack's very excited about this all. I think it's cool- got to go! Dear Diary, As obvious, I didn't rip Briar's "entry" out. 3 more days. Lila dragged us to the library to read up on stuff. It's not my thing, but it's interesting. It's interesting. I might lock this thing up so Briar can't find it. Love, Fruit Pack
Page 22Dear Diary, Tomorrow is the Equestria Games! (Sorry I haven't written in a couple days!) Early this morning Sweetpea got stuck between to Crystals. It took forever to pull her out! She's a bit clumsy, but that doesn't matter. Wore my Neighagra Falls shirt today. Also, ate berries. Love, Fruit Pack I can't believe Fruit Pack is letting us write in her diary! Especially after she threatened to lockk it up after I stole it! I'm Briar Berry, and I'm one of Fruit Pack's friends. I might be called a snoop, but it's so natural! I can easily sneak stuff and eavesdrop and everything! I'm Lila, and I guess you could call me knowledge obsessed. I'm another one of Fruit Pack's friends, but if I wasn't, would she be allowing me to write in her diary? I guess that would be funny, a stranger writing in your diary. I'm Sweetpea Punch! And Fruit Pack already mentioned that I'm a little bit clumsy! I'm embarrassed about the Crystal thing! I'm the only Unicorn among us, and I love hanging out with my friends! Fruit Pack, you didn't need to find my baby album. You didn't. Raspberry Crumble here. I'm almost as excited about the Equestria Games as Fruit Pack is! She has neglected to mention I baked special cookies for the occasion! Yum! Dear Diary, I decided to make this interesting and let my friends write in my diary! That way, even if I'm forever traveling Equestria, they'll be with me forever! Sappy, maybe, but true! And Raspberry's right, her cookies are delicious. It's night time. How can I sleep? The Equestria Games are in mere hours! They start the next morning! Yay! Love, Fruit Pack! :D OH MY GOSH DAY ONE WAS AMAZING! The photographer took this picture of Prince Shining Armor!!!! I got a copy!!! The Games were so amazing, and it's only the first day!! They aerial relays were amazing, and Neighagra Falls placed second in the gymnastics competition! So proud! :D My friends and I wore our awesome gear. Running out ofroom!LoveFruitPack!
Page 23Dear Diary, Watching the Games is so fun! Once, a young dragon named Spike came up to sing the Cloudsdale Anthem, and it was clear he had no idea what he was doing! Most of the ponies in the stadium groaned, but I thought it was cute, like the way a little foal would sing. I also introduced my friends to Wind Spirit. She and Sweetpea bonded almost instantly! Have to rest up for the final day of Games tomorrow! Love, Fruit Pack Dear Diary, The scariest/ most amazing/ exciting thing happened today! During the last event, ice archery, one archer accidentally shot an arrow into the cloud! Next thing you know, there's a giant hunk of ice threatening to crush us all! My friends and I were terrified. All the Pegasi in the crowd rushed up to stop it, but they couldn't. You know who saved us? The dragon from yesterday, Spike! He's a hero! He used his Dragon fire breath to melt it down!!! The Equestria Games are over, and we're leaving for Neighagra Falls in the morning. It was more exciting than I ever dreamed! Love, Fruit Pack Dear Diary, I have made up my mind. I want to live on my own now. I've decided to move to Manehattan! I'll miss my friends, but I know that I'll always remember them, and of course I'll write to them and send them birthday gifts and visit them! Life is one big adventure! I can't wait to live it! Love, Fruit Pack P.S. I'm leaving next week! Author's Note Well, this is the end of Dear Diary! Obviously, her diary isn't 23 pages long, I only published 23 of her many, many pages! I hope you enjoyed reading through Fruit Pack's POV!
Page 1Dear Diary, Hi! I'm Fruit Pack! Someponies might call me crazy, writing in a diary like I'm talking to a pony. I think it's fun! Right now I'm in Nieghra Falls, my hometown. I'm going to be leaving soon. I'm going on a long trip across Equestria, as a tourist! It's gonna be so awesome! I'm supposed to be packing right now, but all I really need is some bits, rain gear, and my fruit, so I figured I'd stop and write in you. My first stop is Manehattan, which isn't too far from here. I'm leaving by train tomorrow. Love, Fruit Pack Dear Diary, I'm on the train! It's really exciting, but I'm also a bit nervous. The mare next to me is a pink unicorn. I'm sure she doesn't want me writing about her, though, so I won't go into detail. A couple minutes ago, we were just served salad off the food cart. It was really good. I don't think I'll need to eat for a while! My tummy is getting butterflies just thinking about all the exciting ponies I'll meet! And the exciting things I'm going to see! I have to go now. Hopefully, I'll write more once I'm in my hotel! Love, Fruit Pack Dear Diary, I'm in Manhattan now! It's so exciting! On the ferry I met six mares from Ponyville. One unicorn began to sing about being in Manehattan. It was a very nice song. It's pretty dreary out, right now. I had trouble finding a cab, so I decided to walk instead. This is such a cozy room. It's pretty cheap, because I can't afford to spend all my bits on one room! One pony that I managed to talk to was named Strawberry Ice. She had a super pretty mane. Of course, we didn't chat long. She had somewhere to go. She told me how Manehattan had lots of fashion forward ponies. Maybe I'll check out one of the fashion shows! Love, Fruit Pack Dear Diary, I'm writing out on the streets! I just left a fashion show, and let me tell you, some of the designs were amazing! But I'm not going to focus on just fashion shows! I have other attractions to see, like Bridleway! Or maybe a museum! And definitely the Statue of Liberneigh! I saw that on my way in! Love, Fruit Pack!
Page 4Dear Diary, Just bought a post card to send to my family. The following things I really hope I get to do: -Meet Princess Celestia! -Meet Princess Luna!! -Go to a Wonderbolts Derby! -Fly on a fancy yacht! Canterlot is so exciting! Write later! Love, Fruit Pack Dear Diary, Canterlot is so lovely! They have awesome buildings, and many of the ponies are friendly! Almost all of them are! I went to the art gallery and Princess Celestia walked in! I was in a room with a princess! How exciting is that? I just realized, that with the Equestria Games coming up, I'd better make my trip correspond to that. My last stop is the Crystal Empire anyway, so I might as well take my time and be ready to speed up if I'm too slow. I went to the Traders' Exchange last Equestria Games. I didn't find anything if worth, sorry to say, and I won't be missing out on anything this year! Love, Fruit Pack Dear Diary, Traveled on a yacht today. I loved the wind! It was just like the ferry in Manehattan. I was running low on bits, so I stopped at the Canterlot Bank and withdrew some of my savings. The teller was really nice. Canterlot is nice! When I get married and have foals, I'm going to take them here! But that won't be for a while. Right now, I'm happy to be free and single! :D Love, Fruit Pack Dear Diary, I had to flip a coin between Ponyville and Baltimare. Baltimare won. I figure I'll stay a few days, then go to Dodge Junction. After that, I'm Appleoosa bound! There's a stallion next to me. I don't have many stallion friends. I think I should make some. Stallions aren't disgusting and they don't have cooties. Love, Fruit Pack
Page 9Dear Diary, Talk about a great souvenir! There was this one pony downtown who drew portraits! He made one for me! In it, I'm looking awestruck out on an ocean. It reminds me of how I felt on the Manehattan ferry! Too bad I can't paste it into here, it's too big! I got a shirt at the shopping center. On the front, it has a picture of a pony who is clearly exaggerating a story to her friends. 'Tale Tale' is printed right above it. I think it's adorable! Another town of friendly ponies! Can't wait until tomorrow! Love, Fruit Pack Dear Diary, Today I watched the Pegasi here clear the clouds away. It's amazing here! This is exactly why I wanted to be a tourist. I wore my shirt all day. At my half of my supply of berries for breakfast. Delicious. I hope I can get some grapes here. If it's one thing I like more than traveling, it's fruit! Love, Fruit Pack Dear Diary, This morning I found a pink quill on the floor of the train station. I asked around, but nopony claimed it. So I decided to take it. It adds flair to my writing! Next stop, Van Hoover! Thorn's hometown! I've heard that it's pretty cold up there. About a moon until the Equestria Games. I'll hit Ponyville after this, and maybe Cloudsdale. If I can book a balloon tour! Love, Fruit Pack Dear Diary, I had one craaazy day today! It's my first day in Van Hoover Vanhoover, and I'm in a deluxe apartment all to myself! The ponies here mistook me for somepony else, and despite my protests I wasn't who they thought I was, they insisted I get a heated apartment. When I say apartment, I mean a loft above the tiny apartments. It's pretty cosy in here, I just hope it doesn't turn into a cliche 'Keep the Celebrity Lookalike Captive' scenario. :) I hope I resolve this tomorrow. Love, Fruit Pack
Page 13Dear Diary, Today Rainbow Dash took me to the Cloudsdale Stadium! It was super humongous!! And it was super pretty too! She told me a cool story about a couple years ago, when she performed a Sonic Rainboom during the Best Young Fliers Competition! And she also saved Rarity from her doom! And She saved the Wonderbolts! Anyway, I watched her show off her stuff until some Cloudsdale residents came by and asked if I wanted to tour the Weather Factory. It was cool. Literally. It was freezing in that place, but Pegasi are immune to cold air because they live up in it, so I was the only one shivering. I got to wear a white jacket and a hard hat and it was so amazing! I learned some interesting facts, like how Cloudsdale is the weather capital of the known world! I knew about being weather capital of Equestria, but this now includes the Griffon Kingdom and such! I'm really tired from my exciting day but I had to write all the details! Love, Fruit Pack Dear Diary, It's noon. I am traveling across the Unicorn Plains. I had no idea it was legal until this morning! I decided to get a really awesome look at Equestria, and what better than to travel on hoof???! Everything is curvy and also flat, and there are no trees for miles! The air is fresh and springy and not too hot. I've seen a couple rabbits so far. Actually, I left about an hour ago. But I'm well packed, and if I get stranded out here, I can just build a shelter and wait for rain. (By the way, yesterday I learned that the reason it rains at least once a week is because if there ever was a lost pony, they wouldn't die of dehydration.) Gonna keep on going now. Pitch a tent later. Love, Fruit Pack Dear Diary, It is later. It is about to rain. I hope your pages don't get soiled. Love, Fruit Pack
Page 16Dear Diary, 29 more days. I'm sorry I have written in a while. I've been busy. For example, I had to sort through all my mail, do my chores (yes, I have to), send extra postcards, make reservations for the Equestria Games (this early!) and respond to my mail and hang out with my family. One other thing I have to do is tend to my berry garden. My mom's been doing it for me while I was gone, and it's gotten pretty big. I used the preservation technique the ponies at Willow Falls taught me. I really enjoy telling my family about my travels across Equestria. And of course, I was so caught up in this I forgot to write. So here's an update now. Love, Fruit Pack Dear Diary, 27 more days. Today I went to the store with my friends. Neighagra Falls is only being represented in two events, but we wanted to show spirit! We got flags and necklaces and shirts and pom poms with the Neighagra Falls colors- pale blue, white, and yellow. I probably won't be wearing much of it, otherwise I'd look like a wreck! But it's still fun to have all that stuff. Besides, what if I see some poor pony without a home in the cold? I could give them my shirt! That sounds weird, I guess, but it isn't! Love, Fruit Pack Dear Diary, 26 more days. I don't know how, but my friend Bluebelle took me to the library to do research on the Equestria Games. She's crazy about that stuff! I don't need to know history to enjoy the Games, though. Still, it's interesting. The games originated in Cloudsdale, as a pegasus only event, then expanded to the entire country only five hundred years ago! Besides that, I harvested some of my ripe berries. Love, Fruit Pack
Page 18Dear Diary, 21 days left! Today I harvest some of my berries and sold them. Later, my friends and I went up to the Falls. They are so pretty! I should have "dragged" my friends along on my tourist adventure! They would have loved it! I love doing these fun trips with them! Love, Fruit Pack Dear Diary, 14 days left until the Games! It seems like I'm writing in leaps and bounds! It's been a week since I last wrote! Yesterday I got a postcard from Wind Spirit. She says she'll be coming to the Equestria Games! I'll get to see her then! I have to remember to visit Hollow Shades when I get the chance! Today My friends' and their younger sisters played a mini version of the Equestria Games. They made medals out of leaves! It's adorable! Love, Fruit Pack Dear Diary, 13 days until the Equestria Games! Right now, I'm outside in a tent. My friends and I have been catching fireflies for the past hour. It has just occurred to me how much we act like fillies. But it's fun and that's nothing to be ashamed of! We're having a camp out tonight. It's so fun! The sky sparkles with stars. The air is the perfect temperature! Can tonight get any better? Maybe s'mores later... Love, Fruit Pack
Page 19Dear Diary, 12 more days until the Equestria Games. Today my friends and I went to see a movie called Barrel Jumper. It's about a pony who jumps over Neighagra Falls in a barrel. It released when I was gone and everypony loves it apparently! As for me, it wasn't too bad. I enjoyed it, especially the part where the main character, Mania Magic, says she wants to see the entire world! I've seen practically all of Equestria! Love, Fruit Pack Dear Diary, 11 days left. I'm impatient for once. I want the Games to come now! But I'm stuck in my usual life, not that that's a bad thing. it's he not really important to write that I went to the grocery store today. It's still fun here! Today my friend Raspberry Crumble baked cookies and we all came over and ate them. Raspberry makes really good cookies like that! Love, Fruit Pack Dear Diary, 10 days until the Games. You know what my mom did? She gave my foal album to my friends so they could look through it! That thing is so embarrassing! I hate my old nickname, Ruby Splash. My dad came up with it. And no offense to him, because he's a great dad, but I don't like it. But my friends rolled around on the floor all afternoon, looking at baby me slobbering over my rattle. Maybe tomorrow I'll find their baby albums! Love, Fruit Pack Dear Diary, Today I went over to Raspberry Crumble's house, and her mom gave me Raspberry's foal album. She drooled more than I did! If I could, I'd take a picture and put it in here! But I can't, and that would be kinda stalkerish. :) Love, Fruit Pack P.S. 9 days till the Equestria Games!
