Fancy Pants walked and walked atop of the brick catwalks that channelled the sewers' water to the purification plant. He, attempting to use his memory and his scarce knowledge about Canterlot's sewer system, walked for what looked like kilometers, never stopping, until he managed to get where he wanted to go.

"So," Fancy Pants said to himself, as he saw the ladder that lead to a manhole "this is, allegedly, the place where my birth house was. I hope that my mother will be more than understanding."

Fancy Pants then squatted, just before jumping forward, grabbing one of the ladder's steps. Fancy Pants gripped onto it with all his few strength, before slowly putting a hoof up to the next step, repeating the same gesture with his rear hoof and then pulling himself up.

"It will take me a lot of time," he muttered to himself "but I will get out of the sewers and the pipes eventually."


Fancy Pants, after some rather grueling efforts in climbing and opening the manhole, had fallen asleep just next to a public park just next his birth mansion.

Fancy Pants woke up smelling jasmine and talcum powder together, and felt that his coat fuzzy and somewhat wet all around. He fluttered his eyes open, and saw wooden birds and pegasi hanging by a red thread, sign that there was a mobile hanging just above him. Looking sideways, Fancy Pants could see white round wooden bars and a sky-blue mattress just underneath him.

"Good news, it looks like I am in my old crib and that I have been bathed while I was asleep," Fancy Pants whispered to himself, as the door creaked open "bad news, I am not sure where my past self is, if he has seen me and what has been his reaction."

"Good day, little colt! Did you sleep well?" A female voice that Fancy Pants recognized as his wet nurse’s spoke up warmly "I hope so, because you have a long day ahead of you!"

"I quite believe you, Ma'am Disciplined Raiser," Fancy Pants muttered to himself, as he was lifted out of the crib "oh, if I do."
