My Little Clockwork: An Ancient Secret

Sprocket entered the front door of her house. As typical, Lemon Hearts was sitting on the couch sipping some tea.

"Oh hey, how was your day?" Lemon asked.

"Exhausting. It was like every time piece in the town all decided to break at once. I had basically no time for breaks and had to eat my lunch while working to get it all done before the end of the day."

"Sounds exhausting but hey, I got something that might cheer you up." Lemon said and then picked up a pamphlet from the coffee table and presented it to Sprocket. "Ta da!"

"What is it?" Sprocket asked walking over. She took the pamphlet from Lemon using her horn magic and raised it to eye level.

EXCITING NEW CONVENTION FOR TINKERERS EVERYWHERE! THE ANNUAL TINKERER'S CONVENTION! THIS WEEKEND IN CANTERLOT! DON'T MISS IT!

"Oh wow that sounds cool!" Sprocket said, the exhaustion in her voice quickly replaced by excitement. "We should totally go to that!"

"I thought you might like that. I'm totally for going. It sounds fun," Lemon replied with a smile. "I can get us train tickets tomorrow while you're at the shop."

"Sounds great! I'm gonna go start packing!"

"Isn't it a little early for that? It's still several days away." Lemon inquired.

"I'm too excited to wait!" Sprocket said with an enthusiasm Lemon hadn't seen in months.

"Well have fun I guess. I'm gonna wait until it's a little closer to time before I pack my stuff. I'm always the procrastinator you know."

"Oh I know. You're always putting things off until the last minute and threatening to make us late for things."

"Don't worry, I'll still have it packed before it's time to go. I just don't see any point until it's closer. Besides, I need to do laundry between now and then anyway." Lemon said matter of factly.

"Fair enough," Sprocket said and then did a little excited dance before hoofing it upstairs. "This is gonna be so much fun!”
