Invisible Earth Pony: I'm Living A Lie

It was time for lunch. And at this school, they didn’t have a cafeteria or even the luxurious buffet hall Applebloom’s old school did. They got to go to the surrounding restaurants and cafes to get lunch.

Applebloom followed some of the foals to a McLuna. Outside was the brilliant blue sky Applebloom never stopped to admire before. “What would you like,” the cashier asked her.
