The Friendship Express rolled near a village of sorts.

'...Dear Celestia, can this thing go any faster?' A young annoyed voice asked.

The screen closes into one of the traincarts, revealing the intererior of the cart.

Barely nopony were inside of the cart, but the screen focuses on a lone single unicorn stallion. The stallion had a gray coat, a black mane, that almost goes down to his back. His cutie mark was a laboratory flask. The liquid inside of it was colored purple, with purple particles above the mark.

The weirdest thing he had was not actually part of his body, but was attached to him. It was a black long cloth that was wrapped around his eyes. He also had a tea cup on his hooves, and a small suitcase with a roller under it beside him. He had a slight smile on his muzzle.

He sighed as he sipped the cup. 'Ugh... Why is it sooo slooooow...' The same voice from earlier drowned out.

He heard somepony chuckle. 'Blue, I am positive that we are near.' A mature, muscular voice answered the voice named Blue.

He hears the young voice groan. 'Buuuuutttttt is sooo loooong, Brrriiiicccckkkkk...' The voice called Blue whined to the other voice, presumably named Brick.

The stallion quietly chuckled as he turned to the tea cup. 'Dust... You take hold, you should be in control more, you're the one that's suppose to be the original, but we. Blue, Brick, and I are more in control.'

'...okay...' A quiet voice replied.

Behind of the blindfold a white glow slightly shined out, but nopony notices. The liquid in the flask on his cutie mark changed into a metallic gray

The smile went away, and was replaced with a scared, wavery smile. His expression also seem to change from the previous calm, but now a scared look.

The blindfolded stallion looks around for a bit, seemly anxious by being on the train. He almost drops the teacup, but it was quickly enveloped into a soft metallic gray glow. It floats to his side as he thinks.

'W-What do I do n-next, Purp?!'

'Dust, stay calm. Just wait, we're close to this place called Ponyville, its known for being a calm, and quiet village.' The voice presumed to be Purp tried to calm him.

'O-Okay...' The voice presumed to be Dust calmed down for a bit.

The stallion adjusted in his seat as the train's motion slowed down, and it's horn burst, signalling that he was at his destination.

He took a large gulp as his suitcase's handle was enveloped in a familiar metallic glow. He got off the seat, and started to walk off the train.

When he took his first step out of the Friendship Express, Blue said in his mind. 'Finallllllllyyyyyy...!'

He hears a soft chuckle, then the voice called Purp saying. 'Okay, Dust, now ask directions to the townhall, then I'll take control, and do the talking... Since I know, you aren't really good in talking with ponies you don't know.'

The unicorn walks out of the train, revealing his horn was eveloped in the same gray glow as the handle of his case. He simply nods, and walks out of the station, then taking his first step onto solid soil.

He took a deep breath as he starts sniff, and his ears twitch looking for any sound nearby. He looks around as these actions were being performed.

'Seems like ya have to do the spell, boss.' A muscular voice, presumed to be Brick, said in his mind.

'I-I might h-have to.'

'It's alright, Dust, remember w-...No, you developed this spell to help with us looking. Since we hide our... Eyes, anyhow, you need to preform this spell for us to navigate.' Purp insisted.

Dust took a long gulp. Then taking a deep breath as the gray glow on his horn grows.

The screen shows his vision, it was nothing, but pure darkness. Then suddenly multiple gray ponies silhouettes appears in the darkness far away, some plants, trees, heck even patches of grass appeared.

He looks up to see even more gray silhouettes that was in the shape of clouds. 'Oh, how amazing this is...' Dust thought.

'Yes... It is magnificent, but we need to march forward.' Purp instructed.

He simply shakes his head. 'You're right.' He starts to trotted away from the station.

The screen goes away from his vision to show him, he was closing into the village.

'Let's hope this place is as peaceful as ya said, Purp, for the Boss' sake.'

'Yeah, I hope, even then, if it isn't, I have a backup plan.'

'Tagging Blue in, and hope for the best?' Brick questioned.

'Precisely.' Purp Replied.

'Oooh! I love this plan! Can we do this plan?! Can we?! Can we?! Can we?!'

'Not now Blue, only when the time comes.'

The unicorn chuckle a bit, seemly was listening to their conversation. As he shook his head, he thought. 'L-Let's hope, it doesn't turn to that.'

'I'll dread the day, that'll happen if we do this backup plan.' Brick said.

'Awww! Why did you say that?!' Blue asked.

'To be fair, you are the most unpredictable out of all of us, so we would not know, what will happen, if we actually did this backup plan.' Purp explained to the voice.

'Hmph! You guys are mean!'

Dust chuckled as he trotted. He felt the soft gravel like ground as Purp informs him. 'Somepony is infront of us.'

"Hmm?"

The screen changes to his vision, a silhouette of the pony infront of him had a feminine body, a big poofy mane, and tail. Judging by the lack of horn on forehead, and wings on their back, he presumed that they were a earth pony.

'What're ya gonna do? Introduce yourself.' Brick instructed.

The gray coated stallion gulp as he tries to say. "H-Hello, I-I'm Gl-"

He didn't get to finish as the pony seem to gasp, and speeded away from him.

'Wow, ya scared her, boss.'

'I-Isn't my fault.' Dust argued.

'I'm not to sure, if that is entirely true.' Purp said unsure.

The unicorn sighed. 'This was a great start.' He sarcasticly thought.

'Wow! I know right?! We actually met somepony, that you actually didn't run away from!' Blue cheerfully said, not getting his sarcasm.

'B-But, he, or she ran away from me.'

'Oh.' Blue said, getting what he meant now. 'That's not so great.'

The unicorn nods. 'Yeah, it isn't.'

'Let's just go ask, somepony else, let's hope they'll not run.' Brick said.

Dust nods. 'O-Of course.'

He proceeds to walk further into the village, hoping to ask directions for the Townhall.
