Life and Death

Minty shows me around the place, to the Sweet Shop, her house, and even introduces me to some of her friends.

The first is Pinkie Pie. She was a fun, curious little pony who loved the color pink.

Next are Sparkleworks and Sunny Daze. Both love sparkles and lights.

Then, Rainbow Dash and Wysteria. Rainbow Dash, obvious of her name, loves every color of the rainbow, and owns a kite shop. Wysteria is a shy pony, who, apparently, became the princess of Ponyville after she touched a magical flower. (I knew that already. But of course I didn't say that.)

Minty brought me over to Toola Roola's house. I know the ponies all have the same basic appearance, but dayum, that mare is fine. We talk a bit about drawings and sketching, and I notice a bit of a faint blush across her cheeks.

Once the tour is over, I politely bid farewell and resume back.

Katie is pacing around my bedroom, but stops as I emerge out of my closet.

"Sheesh, Feathe, I thought you got stuck in a doorway again."

"Har, har." I lean against my closet door.

"So..." Katie looks at me expectantly. "Are you gonna tell me what it led to?"

"Oh, just G3 Ponyville," I say nonchalantly.

Katie doesn't look that happy, but she shrugs diplomatically and leaves.

I yawn, and put on my pajamas. Geez, there goes that weird neck burn thing again!

I turn off the lights and climb into bed. I wake up a few minutes later to hear a rustling sound, followed by a dark figure bumbling out of my closet.

        "Uh, hi?" I ask.

The figure startles, then leaps back into my closet.

"Hey, wait!" I whisper-shout. "I just want to know who you are!"

The shadow creeps out again, and I make out a pony shape. "It's only me," comes that familiar crackly voice.

"T-Toola?"

"Uh, can I sleep in here tonight with you? I mean, I know we just met and everything, but..." She trails off.

"Um, sure! That'd be okay."

Her face brightens, and she crawls into my bed.

"Goodnight, Rooly."

Toola blushes at this nickname. "'Night, Feather."
