Drawing a Blank: An Amnesiac's Journal.

March 8th: Tour de Ponyville, solo round.

Okay I couldn't come up with a title for this one, so I'm borrowing yesterday's. But it isn't an inaccurate name, because that's exactly what I did! Basically at some point before I woke up, Twilight had left because of something called the "Cutie Map." Starlight explained it was a "Friendship Emergency," I still don't know exactly what that means, but it did mean she'd be out of town for some time. But she didn't leave me entirely out to dry, she left me a bag of Bits in case I wanted to go exploring the town again. So I decided to do exactly that, wishing Starlight a good day as I made my way out.

So off I went on my little adventure, with a bag of Bits in hand. I wasn't to worried about getting lost, Twilight's castle wasn't exactly hard to see from a distance. Seriously, this thing clashes with the town like nuts. Must be a new addition or something. It's very shiny. And tall.

But anyway, I was just wandering around the town. Some ponies stopped and chatted with me a bit, I think they were at the party, but I couldn't quite recall as there were a LOT of ponies at that party. But they were understanding about that, and then they went on their business. And so did I! Even if I didn't have any business. I was just looking around, really. And there were a lot of things I missed yesterday. This town has a joke shop, a party shop, a cafe, a store that only sells quills and sofas for SOME reason, and a bowling alley. Just to name a few. This town is surprisingly big, way bigger then I thought it was.

Actually, speaking of that party shop, I actually looked around there for a bit only to find one of my favorite new friends; Pinkie Pie. She was "resupplying her arsenal" in the aftermath of my party. I'm a little concerned about the fact she constantly uses military terminology for her parties, even more so now that I'm remembering that she sets up for these parties with CANONS. "Professional Party Pony" is right, I wouldn't be surprised if she had some kind of secret lab or something where she studied the dynamics of party-based-warfare or whatever.

Note to self: ask the Cakes if Pinkie Pie has a secret party lab for the study of party-based-warfare under Sugarcube Corner.

So moving on with my day, I decided to move on with my little quest. I found a cool restaurant called the Hay Burger. That serves hay burgers. I thought it was just a name, so I decided to try one. Turns out that they are made of hay. And humans don't eat hay. I took one bite and I started choking on the darn thing. Thankfully the staff there knew how to handle people choking on food. I apologized for the trouble and asked if I could just swap out the burger with something else, even if I had to pay for it. I explained the whole "humans don't eat hay, didn't know there was hay in there, and I thought they were named after the restaurant" thing. To my surprise, they quickly made up a grilled cheese sandwich, an item that I don't think was even on the menu, and a free order of onion rings as an apology. So now I know what to order the NEXT time I go there. And yes, I'll be going there again. Sure I almost died, but it was my own fault and those onion rings were WORTH almost dying for. Really freaking good. 10/10, would almost die again for some of those.

Back to my adventure, I spent the remainder of the day, you guessed it, wandering around. Aimlessly. Nothing really happened about that. Well, except for ONE thing. Apparently word had gotten out about me reliving my canine based trauma at the hands paws of Applejack's dog. And someone decided it would be funny to try and replicate that effect. You know, as a joke. This is where Rainbow Dash comes into play. I'm sure you can see how that went.

If you can't? She suck up really close behind me and started making dog barking sounds. Really loudly. Right in my ear. So I do the only logical thing and hide in a bush. And then I hear the laughter. She was SO proud of herself for that little joke. I however was not happy, and decided to take action. And then I remembered that pegasuses pegasi can fly. And Rainbow can fly very, very fast. So my revenge was not as grand as I would have liked. She said she was sorry, and then just flew off. If it was an actual apology or not, I don't know. Everything that comes out of her mouth sounds either snarky or sarcastic.

But just you wait, rainbow horse. As I told you earlier, I WILL have my revenge, and it WILL be legendary. Someone will write a book about it, and it'll get its own toy line.

Sorry, got a little carried away there. Anyway, after losing sight of my target, I ran into Spike and Starlight on their way to the train station. Apparently Twilight's business out of town had warped up and they'd be back soon. I don't know HOW they knew that, apparently this "Cutie Map" thing tells them when the problem's finished, which I don't understand at all. But then again, I'm currently living in a town of magical ponies, so who am I to judge?

So the three of us all go down to greet Twilight and Rarity at the train station, and we got there just as her train pulled in. And they looked like they'd been ran through the wringer a few times, if you know what I mean. But regardless, the two were happy to see a bunch of warm smiles greet them at the train station. Not much else happened after that, save for us all returning to our respective homes, eating dinner, and getting ready for bed.
