Chapter 8: Discoveries, and the end of one journey

I hear the door close when Luna leaves, then continue to think about what I have done in the past. Watching as the memories replay in front of my eyes, shaking my head in disappointment at some of my choices. I continue watch the memories until I feel tired, leaning up against the side of the cliff wall and tilt my hat forward over my eyes then drift off. I then wake up to see the two princesses raising the sun and lowering the moon already, then get out of my bag and make my way to the wagon and dig out my shaving kit.

Luna and Celestia finish raising the sun and lowering the moon and see Arthur pull something out from the wagon and set it up on the other side of the wagon. They then see him grab a pail and go to the river to fill it and return, then pour some of it into the basin.

I look in the mirror and see the girls watching me shave and then chuckle as they try to figure out what I am doing, then hang my hat off the edge of the stand and get started on cutting my chin hair about half an inch away from my skin. I then dump the water out onto the ground, refilling the basin with fresh water and wash my face off. I then wipe the excess water off my face and put my hat back on my head, then turn around and look at the girls saying, "Well Ladies, how do I look with a shorter beard?"

Luna then chuckles and then says, "I think you look quite handsome to be honest, when do you think we can start on our way towards Ponyville?"

Celestia then scoffs and says, "I think you look like you have a mangy rat stuck to your face, but you still look better than before Arthur."

I then smile and say, "Why thank you Princess Luna and um...Princess Celestia, we can be on our way again when I get the area cleaned up and get Lou harnessed and hooked up to the wagon. I think we can be on our way in about an hour or so, just give me a little time and we can continue on our way Ladies." I then get started on putting away the shaving kit, and carry the last piece to the wagon and start to put it away when I spot a unusually long box at the bottom of the wagon and get curious saying, "Excuse me, could one of you could help me somehow see in this wagon?"

She then crosses her arms and then says, "Why don't you just use your lantern to see and don't try to be so lazy Arthur."

Luna then giggles and then starts walking towards the wagon and then dramatically says, "I shall light your way in darkness." and then climbs up onto the wheel first, then steps onto the rear gate as her horn glows and illuminates the inside of the carriage for him.

I then say, "Thank you Princess Luna." I then raise my voice for Celestia to hear and say, "Normally, I would have no problem doing that. I would never dare to use a lantern to see inside this wagon, because it holds a lot of ammunition for the various guns we had where I came from." I then start moving boxes around carefully to see what is in it when I finally get to the box I am interested in, seeing a letter on top and grab it. I then open it and then hold it in the light coming from her horn and then read it and say, "I don't know what Discord means by 'Your favorite weapon of choice but I will soon find out when I open this case, you can read the letter for yourself if you wanna know what he wrote." I hand it to her then start to pry the lid open, struggling for a good couple minutes before it finally pops open. I inhale sharply and then say, "You just had to bring this damned thing to this peaceful world. What on Earth were you thinking, you god damned lunatic!"

Discord watches Arthur as he finds the present he placed in his wagon and ignores the name calling and rolls his eyes, throwing popcorn at the screen and says, "Oh don't be like that Arthur, this world would be so much more boring if you were not here. Besides, I think that you will thank me later when Queen Chrysalis discovers what you did to her beloved changelings."

She then shakes her head and sighs saying, "What did he do Arthur, what did he bring you?" She then looks into the box and sees a strange weapon inside the case and asks, "What is that Arthur and why are you upset that it is here, do you not like this weapon?"

I then look her in the eyes and then say, "It's not that I don't like it, but something like this does not belong in this world. You see Luna, this thing here is a Maxim gun that can fire a lot of bullets in a short amount of time. It can make short work of a few hundred men coming after you, this thing needs to be kept out of dangerous hands or it could cause a lot of misery. I hope that you two are strong enough to keep this dangerous weapon from falling into other hands?"

Celestia then walks up to the wagon and says, "We most certainly are Arthur Morgan, Alicorns are naturally the strongest with their magic and flying abilities. There are only five Alicorns in this world, they are Princess Cadence, Princess Flurry Heart, Princess Twilight, and lastly Princess Luna and I. Once we get back to Ponyville, we can get a chariot to take us and that thing to the vault in our castle."

I then sigh and shake my head then say, "I'm sorry Princess Celestia, but this gun ain't gonna leave my sight until I know for sure that it aint gonna cause any more grief."

She then looks at him and then says, "Fine then, you can ride in the chariot with us when we get back to Ponyville."

I then nod my head and say, "That sounds agreeable, now let's get back to preparing to leave." I then follow Luna out as she hops off the gate with her long flowing mane following after her. Hopping off the gate myself, I then resume with my task of picking the campsite up as I see Princess Luna gathering up the bottles and empty cans, setting them on the back gate. I then say, "Thank you for helping Princess Luna, there should be an empty box in there somewhere that you can put those in."

Luna then looks at him and then says, "We recycle various materials here, like metal and glass because it can be reused for other things."

I then pause a moment and then say, "That is mighty smart thinking, if only we thought of doing that on earth. Humans are pretty wasteful, and leave junk piled up where they put it." I then get started on getting Lou harnessed and then whistle sharply for her, seeing her make her way through the river towards us.

Lou reaches the bank and then trots towards Arthur and then says, "Morning Arthur, are we heading out soon?" she stops near the wagon tongue and then waits for him to answer.

I make my way towards the seat and then say, "Yeah girl, we gotta get to Ponyville today. I found out why the wagon is harder for you to pull than usual, Discord put a Maxim gun in this wagon. I'm also pretty sure there are a couple big boxes of ammo for it as well in here, so we have to be on the lookout for anyone that might want to take it from us. Alright girl, head into your spot and I will get you hooked up to the wagon."

She then walks to her spot and then waits for him to put the harness on her and says, "I thought that the wagon pulled a little harder than it used to. Hey Arthur, can I have a piece of stick candy?"

I then walk towards Lou and pull a piece of stick candy out and break it into two and then offer her one half first, then the other half and say, "Remember to use your tongue to suck on them, and don't bite them because they are very hard."

Lou then chuckles in amusement and says, "Well duh, I have learned that lesson after thinking it was soft and bit into it. It nearly broke a tooth because it was so hard, after they get smaller round though, you can actually chew em up."

I then pull the harness off the back of the seat and make sure to hold it right and then approach Lou saying, "Alright girl, here comes the harness over your rump." I then begin to pull the harness over her rump, then lay it on her back and get started on buckling the straps.

Luna then watches Arthur with interest on how he puts the harness on her and then says, "That sure looks complicated, do you want some help Arthur?"

I then smile and then say, "I appreciate the offer Princess Luna, but I can handle this. If you want to watch how I hook these straps up, you are welcome to watch."

She then walks towards Lou to get a better look and then watches how each strap goes to a certain location then thinks, 'How can she stand there while he tightens those straps around her body like that? That would annoy me to no end.'

I then finish tightening the straps and then put the yoke around her neck and attach it to the harness, then finally get the reins and then run them through their slots and attach them to her bridle. I then lean down and lift the bar up and then say, "Alright girl, back up a little bit, you are too far ahead."

Lou then nods and then slowly takes a few steps backwards and says, "Tell me when to stop Arthur, you know I don't see what is behind me very well without turning my head." She then returns to happily working on the stick candy that is still in her mouth

I then nod and then say, "I know that Lou, you are doing fine. Just a few inches more...and there you go, woah girl." I then connect the bar up to the harness and then go to the other side to do the same thing. I finish up and then say, "Well Lou, we are just about ready to go. All that is left to do is finish cleaning up the area and then we can go." I then turn around and then go to the bedroll I slept in last night, roll it up and return it to my saddle in the wagon. Finally I then make my way to the cot and roll the bear blanket up and place it under the seat so other ponies don't see it, then fold the cot up and set it somewhere inside the wagon and say to the two girls, "Alright, who wants to ride in the back today during the journey to Ponyville?"

Princess Luna then steps forth and says, "I shall ride in the back this time, I normally sleep during the day." She then holds a hand over her mouth as she yawns, then heads towards the back.

I then follow her to the back of the wagon and then say, "Allow me to assist you, Princess Luna." I then lean down and sweep her off her hooves and into a princess carry and then set her up on the back of the gate and say, "If you want a softer ride. The bear pelt is underneath the wagon seat or you could use the thick bedroll on the back of my saddle, it is your choice of which one you wish to use. Goodnight Princess Luna and pleasant dreams to you."

She then curtsies and then says, "Thank you very much Sir Arthur, for your kind assistance. I shall look forward to catching up on sleep that I have lost these past couple of days, good day to you both." She then turns around and heads inside to find the bedroll he mentioned, finds it and then unrolls it to lay on.

I then close the gate after her and tie the back shut, then head towards the front of the wagon and then see Princess Celestia waiting by the front seat and say, "Well Princess Celestia, are you ready to get a different view of things?"

Princess Celestia then rolls her eyes and scoffs saying, "I'm as ready as I will ever be to ride up front with you, can you help me up into the seat?"

I then nod and then get behind her and grab her just below the waist and then grab her firmly and then hoist her up, looking at her legs to know when to set her down and say, "There you go Princess Celestia, I must ask you a question."

She looks at me and then says, "It better not be about my form that you just got a good feel of or you are going to get a hoof to the eye!!!" squinting her eyes as she waits for the question to be asked.

Luna lays in back stifling a laugh at what she just heard happen outside and thinks, 'Oh those two are like oil and water, it will be very amusing if they ever date.'

I then chuckle and then say, "Don't worry, it is not. I just wanted to know why you two wear such fancy dresses if you can't move very well in it?"

Celestia cocks her head and says, "We wear these dresses to show to others that we are not on official business, these are our informal royalty clothes. Although our subjects still bow to us regardless of what we wear, we hope to get them to act more normal around us when we are not on official business someday."

I then walk to the wheel and then say, "Scoot on over Princess Celestia. If the people bow to you, I guess that is just their way of respecting you and how much power you hold as rulers. If you ask them to treat you like any other pony, how many years will it take until your world becomes like the one I came from? My advice to you...accept the way that they see you, but don't let it get into your head that you are above them or things will change for the worse. Keep proving to them that your subjects are more important to you, there are many paths to take in life that changes with each choice a pony makes. Be true to yourself and your subjects and fate may be kind to you, nothing in life is ever certain. So just make the best of what you are given." I then start to climb on up to get into the seat to start us on our journey to the town of Ponyville.

She then scoots over and then thinks on his words for a moment before saying, "You are wiser than your appearance suggests, Arthur Morgan."

I then snap the reins lightly and feel Lou start to pull the wagon and then use the reins to tell her to turn hard left back towards the road and say, "I have been known to be smart on occasion, but I am not a wise man princess."

Lou then turns towards the road and then begins to follow it south again and thinks, 'You are pretty smart for being a human, Arthur. You can fool others, but you will never be able to fool me.'

We travel along the road for awhile before I see a pale tan pony with a snow white mane and tail standing off the edge of the road with a walking stick and a cup, I then watch him a bit when he looks into our direction.

The blind earth pony tracks where the sound of hooves is coming from and then shakes his cup lightly and holds his walking stick lightly and then says, "Dear sir, can you spare two bits for a blind pony?"

Celestia then watches the old pony follow their approach, wondering what Arthur plans to do and watches the two of them curiously.

I then pull the wagon to a stop near him, then step off the wagon after seeing he is actually blind. I then dig into my bag, pulling two bits out and then say, "You are a long ways from civilization old pony, I can spare two bits for you. I would offer you a ride to a town, but I have a pressing business to take care of first. If you would like, I could return for you after I take care of my business?" I then drop the two bits into his cup and then wait for his answer.

The blind old earth pony then chuckles and responds, "I know I am sonny, but I will be fine. There's no need to worry about me, I have wandered all around Equestria and know places by smell. I can tell that you are new around here by your unique smell, I wish you well on where ever it is you are heading to. That is very kind of you sir, thank you very much." He then clears his throat and then says, "Enjoy a short reprieve from life sir, for fate is watching you closely. Do not brush off unpaid debts, for they may hunt you down and demand payment."

I then nod and say, "Well uh...thanks mister, I will keep that in mind. You have a good day old pony." I then make my way back to my seat and hop up into it and notice Celestia is staring at me suspiciously and then say, "What is your problem with me now?"

The old earth pony then smiles and says, "You should be on your way now sir, there is nothing more to say."

I then lightly snap the reins and say, "Alright girl, get us outta here."

Lou then moves forward and works into a trot, then into a slow canter to put a little distance between them and the old pony. Waiting till they are out of earshot and then says, "You never miss an opportunity to stop and give money to the less fortunate Arthur, you do have a heart of gold contrary to what some say."

I then laugh out loud and then answer, "I just know what it is like to be where they are, I don't give a rats ass of what people say about me. I let my actions speak for me rather than using words."

Celestia then glares at him and then says, "Why did you put us in danger like that, that could have been a changeling in disguise!"

I then look at her in confusion and then say, "What's a changeling?"

She then sighs in annoyance and then says, "A changeling is a creature that barely resembles a pony. Having a curved, black horn, greenish insect like wings, fangs, big bug-like eyes, have chitin covering part of their body, pitch black and have naturally occurring holes through various parts of their bodies. They also can use magic that is green in color, they can shapeshift and mimic any pony they study and capture. Despite being individually weak, they are formidable when following their Queen's orders. They attacked the city of Canterlot a few years ago and nearly succeeded in their Queen's plan to take over Equestria, but their plan was foiled by my student who is now Princess Twilight Sparkle."

I then look at her and then nod my head and say, "Oh so you mean those creatures I killed back in the cave were these changelings?"

Celestia then nods her head yes and then says, "Did they give you much trouble in the cave?"

I then laugh and then say, "Not really, they were rather annoying. They kept hidden and waited for me to walk into the ambush they had set up, but I heard noise in the tunnel and knew it was a trap. As for that old pony back there, I didn't feel the need to be wary around him."

She then rolls her eyes and then says, "Oh not another pony with 'Pinkie Sense'..."

I then chuckle and then say, "Pinkie Sense...what's that?"

Celestia then sighs and says, "The representative of the Element of Laughter, Pinkie Pie has this sense she calls Pinkie Sense. It is a series of random body part movements that warn her when something is about to happen."

I then laugh and then say, "Well, as strange as that sounds, I don't have that. This is more of a bodily sense that I have developed after being in the life I was in on the world where I came from, it is more like a gut feeling you have about something you should or shouldn't do."

She then nods and then says, "That is easier to understand and explain than Pinkie Pie's ability, but regardless of how it sounds...her sense is accurate."

I chuckle and then continue to lead us down the road towards the town of Ponyville, following the directions that Celestia is giving while looking around at the lands around us. I then see a mountain ahead of us a ways with twin peaks and say, "What is that mountain with a split peak over there?"

Celestia looks at the mountain and then says, "That is not a split peak, that is the city of Canterlot where our castle is. You should visit it one day when you get settled."

I then look at her and grin, "Are there any steep climbs up to the city?"

Luna then wakes up to hear that and then thinks, 'What are you thinking of doing Arthur?'

She then looks back at him and then says, "Not really, it is jut a winding road that works its way up part of the mountainside to the city, there may be a few short hills that can be steep. Why, what are you thinking?"

I then grin and then say, "Okay then. Since your destination is actually Canterlot and is closer than Ponyville, there's no better time to visit the city like the present. Get ready to make a big entrance Princess Celestia, we will be passing through the city in style!"

She is unable to hide her laughter anymore and then says, "You are so going to get it now sister when they see you pass through the city in a plain wagon!" she then bursts out laughing out loud at her sister's expense.

Celestia then glares back at the wagon and then says, "Luna, royal princesses shouldn't be seen on a rundown wagon like this! Do you know what kind of gossip this will stir up with the high class ponies?!?"

I then cut her off and then say, "Why not just tell them that you were just taking an old fashioned wagon trail ride through the beautiful lands of Equestria, making sure that they stay that way when you came across a visitor and their companion from another world that wish to stay and share this world with them."

She then goes silent and thinks on that and then says, "You know...that may actually work Arthur Morgan. Alright then, onward to Canterlot castle Arthur Morgan."

Lou then chuckles and then says, "Oh you have really done it now Arthur, I hope you like answering questions because you're gonna get a lot of them."

Luna then chuckles and then thinks, 'Oh that is the understatement of the millenium... I hope you can handle being the center of attention for a few months, Arthur Morgan.'

I then follow Celestia's directions to Canterlot, making our way up the side of the mountain and then look at her and say, "So Princess, I think it would be a good idea to get our story straight for the citizens. What are we going to tell them regarding how I got here?"

Celestia then looks at him and then says, "Well the truth of course, minus the fact of you being a monster and a criminal of course."

We then go over what we are going to tell them for the rest of the trip up the hill, stopping when we get to the city gates that has a couple guards bar our passage into the city. I then look at them and then ask, is there a problem mister?"

The guard then stands still and then says, "We see Princess Celestia riding a wagon with two strange creatures, she may be doing so against her will."

She then chuckles and then looks at the guard and then says, "Do not worry guard, if this human wished to harm me, he would be in a world of hurt. I am not held against my will either, this wagon is rather heavy for his female companion. They are both new to this world, so they have a working friendship where they came from. may we continue on our way to the castle?"

The two guards then part and allow them passage and bow to her saying, "Yes, of course you may continue on your way. Welcome back, Your Majesty. Welcome to the city of Canterlot, you two.

I then tip my hat to them and then say, "Good day to you two." and lightly snap the reins and then say to Lou, "Alright Lou, let's head on into the city so this princess can get back to ruling over her subjects."

Lou then nods her head and then moves forward and then says, "Alright Arthur, could you give my body a good brushing after we reach Ponyville?"

I then look at her as we pass through the gates and say, "Yeah girl I will do that for ya when we are done with this job, I will take care of you if you help to take care of me. We both look out for the other, that is how it is where we came from." I then look around at the different places around and then say, "Well Princess Celestia, you are almost home."

Celestia then watches as curious ponies then waves to a few of her subjects and then says, "Yes we are, after a long beautiful journey across Equestria, we are almost home."

I then watch as citizens come out of numerous shops and homes to watch us travel down the street towards the castle and then say, "We sure are drawing quite a lot of attention, coming directly to Canterlot with you riding shotgun with me is drawing more attention than I thought it would."

Luna continues to lay in the back as they travel through the streets of Canterlot, hearing excited chattering coming from behind them as she realizes that a mob of curious ponies is following them to the castle and then smiles and thinks, 'It looks like it is going to be an exciting month across Equestria, when the news makes its way around to the towns.'

I then see the Castle up ahead and then loosen up on the reins a little and then look at the canvas and then softly say, "Can you hear me alright?"

She then softly answers back, "Yes I can, what is it?"

I then whisper to her through the canvas, "The castle is up ahead of us. If you are using that other blanket, be sure to roll it up and hide it underneath the seat so others don't see it."

She then chuckles and scoots off of the bear blanket whispering, "Alright, thank you for the warning. I shall do that now, so let me know when you are going to open the canvas."

I then tell her, "I will be sure to do that." and then turn back around and continue down the road towards the castle that is getting closer and closer.

Lou climbs up one last hill with a little struggle, but arrives at the top of it and continues past a small wall. She then calls back to Arthur and asks, "How much farther until I can stop and rest, that last hill was a bit of a struggle for me? I also think that one of my shoes is loose, you need to have a blacksmith take a look."

Celestia then says, "Don't worry Lou, just another hundred yards further and then we will come to a stop." She then looks to Arthur and then says, "You can pull up alongside the stairs in front of those large double doors."

I then nod and use the reins to have Lou turn left so we can maneuver the wagon into place in front of the stairs, making a wide left circle through the grass and then say, "Sorry about the nice grass you have here Princess, but this wagon needs space to make this turn."

She then sighs and then nods saying, "Its quite alright, a little maintenance is all that it will take to repair it. The important thing is that we got here safe and sound without a single incident."

I then watch as we pull up near the stairs on the cobblestone path and then pull on the reins and say, "Alright Lou, you did a great job getting up those hills without another horse to help you with the burden." I then hear a few gasps from the crowd and then say to them, "That is what we call others that are like her, you call yourselves ponies and have two hooves. She is also a pony, but has four hooves. Where we are both from, humans call her kind a horse and most of us have working partnerships with her kind. Unfortunately, back there they are unable to speak like you are able to. When we came here, she could. Our partnership has improved greatly thanks to that strange discovery, though we do not know the exact reason for it. So before you all get offended by me referring to her as a horse, understand that is just the way things were back there." I then hear a few ponies in the crowd talk about it amongst themselves and then step down from the wagon and then turn around and then say, "Well Princess Celestia, are you ready to get down from there?" I then hold one hand up for her to hold while I help her get down from the wagon.

Celestia then nods and stands up and then says, "Indeed I am ready to get down from this wagon, I ache from the hard wood. You should get some padding for that seat, it would make the ride much more pleasant." She then takes his hand and then places her hoof on a small step on the side, holds her dress so that it doesn't catch and rip, and hops off the wagon. She then lands back on the ground safe and sound, then releases her dress and then says, "Thank you for helping me get down, now can you please go open the back and help my sister get out? I am sure she is eager to return to her quarters and resume her sleep."

I then hear the crowd start to talk louder to each other about The Lunar Princess being on the wagon as well, nod and then head to the back and say, "Well Princess Luna, are you ready to join us out here?"

Princess Luna then says, "Yes I am Arthur Morgan, the ride through the country in the back of the wagon was a little more comfortable when you let me use your bedroll as a cushion so I could catch some sleep for the journey."

I then start untying the back of the canvas and then smile and say, "You are welcome, Princess Luna. I hope you had a better time sleeping in the back than Celestia did the first half of the journey, I would have let her use the bedroll too if she had only asked." I then tie the back of the canvas to the sides of the wagon and then drop the back gate and then wait for her to make her way back towards me.

She then scoots to the back, carefully stands onto the gate and then bends at the knees using her hands to hold her dress against the back of her knees and then places her hands onto his shoulders and says, "I slept right through most of the journey, the ride isn't that bad when you have something soft to rest on. It was rather pleasant actually, okay I am ready to get off now."

I then nod and pick her up in my arms, then carefully set her down on the ground and then tip my hat to her saying, "There you go princess, you two are now safe and sound back at home."

Princess Celestia then looks to her fellow ponies and then begins to tell them about what had transpired during their sudden visit to the Crystal Empire. She tells them how he came to be in Equestria and Discord's roll in it, but keeps the information about him being a criminal and dying, secret. After she then informs them of Rainbow Dash's actions and that the matter has already been dealt with, so no further action is necessary.

I then shift slowly from side to side, waiting for Celestia to finish telling them the story when she finally gets close to the end and then think, 'Oh thank god she is almost done with her speech, I am ready to fall asleep on my feet.'

She then ends her speech by saying, "These two shall be sharing this wonderful new world with us, I wish them happiness where ever they may go. Welcome to Equestria, Arthur Morgan and Lou." She then looks out to the crowd and then says, "I am sure that you all are very curious to talk to them both, but that will have to wait until later. Thank you all for welcoming us back to Canterlot, our little ponies. You may return to what you were doing when we passed through town and interrupted you all." She then waits and watches as the citizens then leave, then says, "I need several strong guards to come towards the back of the wagon."

Princess Luna then begins heading towards the back of the wagon and watches Arthur get up in the back and then chuckles and says, "Well Arthur, I shall be retiring to my quarters for the rest of the day."

I then move boxes around to get at the long box, then turn to Luna and then say, "Alright princess, may you have a pleasant sleep." I then watch her as she walks by the back gate and looks at me.

Princess Luna then smiles and winks at him saying, "I wish you a good journey to Ponyville, Arthur Morgan. May you have a happy Hearth's Warming Eve this weekend."

I cock my head and then say to her, "I'm sorry, what did you say about this weekend?"

She then says, "You didn't know that this Friday is Hearth's Warming Eve for Equestria? Today is Wednesday, so there are two days until it is here, we hope that you have a happy Hearth's Warming Eve." She then turns and walks away from him, heading towards the double doors to return to her room.

I then wonder what this 'Hearth's Warming Eve' thing is and then think to myself, 'I will have to ask Princess Celestia what it is. I have heard and seen the celebrations that take place around December 25th, people have been calling it Christmas for a few years now. I wonder if Hearth's Warming Eve is anything like it...' I continue to pick up boxes and move them around as I hear some hooves behind the wagon, then look back to see about ten guards in armor standing back there in lines and then start to drag the very heavy box towards the back of the wagon and then hear Celestia come closer.

Princess Celestia casts a privacy shield and then says to the group of guards, "Now guards please listen up, there is a few heavy boxes that need to be placed in the secret royal vault. These items can cause a great deal of harm and misery if they were to fall into the wrong hands, so please handle them carefully and lock them away inside and have a guard on the vault." She then looks to the wagon and then says, "Arthur, please bring the boxes out now. The guards will take them to their new location in the secret vault, where we both will escort them there to make sure nothing happens and they go missing."

I then say, "Alright princess, here we go. Just so you all know, this first box will be the heaviest. It is not dangerous now because it is not loaded, but the boxes after it need to be handled with care. So whatever you do, don't drop those other boxes." I then grab the box with the Maxim gun in it and drag it onto the back gate and wait for the first guard to grab a handle and then say, "Two ponies per box please, it is too much for just one to handle alone." I then see another come up and take hold of the other handle and then pull it off the gate.
