Duba: Riding in a train. "Bye bye Ponyville."  He goes to find a seat and sits down next to a pony in a purple suit. "Hi I'm Duba." He extends his hoof.

Ms.Harshwhinny : Ignores Duba.

Duba: Pushes his hoof more at her. "I'm Duba."

Ms.Harshwhinny: "Get your filthy hoof away from me."

Duba: "It's not filthy, I just walk on it oh then it is filthy wait so is yours."

Ms.Harshwhinny: "If I shake your hoof will you leave?"

Duba: Happily nods.

Ms.Harshwhinny:  Shakes Dubas hoof. "There now leave."

Duba: "Yay, I can't wait to tell Luna I made a sorta friend."

Ms.Harshwhinny: She looks at him with interest "Luna as in the Princess Luna."

Duba: "Yup I call her moonbutt she thinks it's funny."

Ms.Harshwhinny: "I see and how do you know Luna."

Duba: "Twilight launched me into her room."

Ms.Harshwhinny: "You know Princess Sparkle as well?"

Duba: Nods.

Ms.Harshwhinny: "And where are you headed now?"

Duba: "Crystal Empire Luna wanted me to give this note to." Pulls out a note. "Ca...den...se"

Ms.Harshwhinny: "Princess Cadence how in Equestria do you know all these princesses?"

Duba: "Twilight I've known sorta she doesn't like me being around her..Luna is my teacher in friendship though we usually make prank calls and play games. Princess Celestia um I just tell her something involving friendship I make something up but she thinks it's better to learn something unlike Applejack not sure what that means...and cadense I will meet today to hand her the note."

Ms.Harshwhinny: "You must be pretty extraordinary to be able to meet so much royalty especially having one as your teacher. Also it's pronounced Cadence."

Duba: "Okay cadents."

Ms.Harshwhinny: "Close enough well good luck on your task Mr.Duba was it?"

Duba: "Yes but my names not mister Duba it's just Duba."

Ms.Harshwhinny: "I'll remember that." The train stops. "I guess this is your destination may we meet again.

Duba: "Definitely." Gets off the train and looks at the Crystal Empire. "Wow, Spike would eat this place up." A mare passes by Duba pokes her.

Mare: "Eep perv." Slaps Duba.

Duba: "I wanted to see if you were made of crystal so I can make sure a dragon doesn't eat you."

Mare: Scoffs then leaves.

Duba: "Eesh the ponies here are so hard headed."  Rubbing his cheek he pulls out a note and tugs on a stallions mane. "Excuse me do you know cadance?"

Stallion: "Who?"

Duba: "You know Princess Cadents?"

Stallion: "Princess Cadence? Why yes she lives in the very tall crystal castle smart guy." He leaves with a tempered look on his face.

Duba: "I really hope the Princess here isn't as cruel as these ponies." He heads to the castle only to be blocked by the guards.

Guard: "Halt speak your purpose."

Duba: "I have a note from Luna and I have to give it to the Princess that's name starts with a C" The guards look at each other before stepping aside. He heads inside the castle. "Normally Princesses are in the throne room." Heads to the throne room and sees her sitting down. "*Squee* I was right." Rushes at her the guards nearby tackle him down.

Guard: "You shall not go another step."

Duba: "I can't with you guys on top of me."

Princess Cadence: "That's quite alright guards he doesn't look like a danger to anyone." Approaches him. "Can I help you with something?"

Duba: "Actually I'm just here to deliver this note from Luna." He shows her the note waving it around.

Princess Cadence. Taking the note and reading it. "I'm sending my student." Turning the note over. "That's it? What student?"

Duba: "She must mean me."

Princess Cadence: "You are Lunas student? Well that's a surprise normally Celestia is the only one capable of taking ponies under royal wing you must've been an exception."

Shining Armor: "Hey what's with the noise earlier? it sounded like an earthquake."

Duba: Gasp "Hey it's you captain of the royal guards I think."

Shining Armor: "Why yes I am I didn't know my title would be so famous outside the Crystal Empire."

Duba: "You're the one that was bawling like a foal when Twilight became Princess."

Shining Armor: "That was liquid pride."

Duba: "You mean like." Whispers into Shinings ear.

Shining Armor: Chuckles. "We gotta hang out sometime."

Princess Cadence: "I am not going to interfere in whatever you two just discussed but you know Twilight?"

Duba: "Yep she's my sorta distance get away from me friend."

Princess Cadence: "What?"

Duba: "She doesn't like me being around her but being princess of friendship maybe she's just shy."

Princess Cadence: Looks at Duba who is looking back at her smiling. "That doesn't seem like Twilight to push ponies away." She writes on a scroll.

Shining Armor: "So what's your name anyways?"

Duba: "Duba."

Shining Armor: "Nice meeting you Duba" Scratching his head. "I really hate to leave you hanging but I have to get back to my post whenever I'm free and you are as well just message me in some way."

Duba: "Will do...crybaby."

Shining Armor: Playfully scoffs. "It was liquid pride." He trots off.

Princess Cadence: "Here you go deliver this to Twilight." Duba grabs the note. "Okay is there anything else I can help you with?"

Duba: "Well I was wondering if dragons can eat the ponies here."

Princess Cadence: "Hm? I always wondered the same thing. I'm afraid I can't answer that question for you at the moment."

Duba: "I'll ask Twilight she's smart." Waving bye leaving the Crystal Empire and waiting at the train station. "That wasn't so hard." The train finally arrives he gets inside heading back to Ponyville once arriving he heads to Twilights castle and knocks on the door. "Twilight...Twilight...Twilight!!!"

Twilight Sparkle: Opening the door. "What do you want?"

Duba: "Are we friends?"

Twilight Sparkle: "No" Closes the door only for Duba to knock again. "What now?"

Duba: "Do you hate me?"

Twilight Sparkle: "I don't it's complicated to explain why are you asking me these questions anyways."

Duba: Nervously scratching his back. "I read the letter that was meant for you."

Twilight Sparkle: "Letter?"

Duba: "Uh-huh Luna sent me to the Crystal Empire to talk to Cadence....Hey I got it right."

Twilight Sparkle: "You went to the Crystal Empire and talked to Cadence? The security there must be terrible. But let's not go off topic what did she say?"

Duba: "Not much I told her about you then she was writing and I was mostly talking to your brother."  Hands her the letter.

Twilight Sparkle:  Reads the letter. "I am really disappointed in you, you should take this role as Princess of Friendship seriously. It's not some title given with no meaning, there's a lot to it and you should know from the experiences you had I'm not entirely sure what this pony has done to you but you should learn to forgive and forget -Cadence." Lowering the letter looking at Duba who is moving his head following the movements of a bee he sneezes provoking it to sting him.

Duba: "Ow."

Twilight Sparkle: Sighs before crumbling the note. "I can choose who I want as a friend every other pony can fall for your little act but I'm not." Slams the door on Duba.

Duba: His eyes water before walking off.

Twilight Sparkle: Peeks through a window. "No Twilight don't fall for it he's only trying to fool you."

Lyra Heartstrings: Sees Duba holding back tears. " Duba are you okay what's wrong?"

Duba: "A bee stung me and it really hurts."
