Either my first or second day out on the streets, once I was too old to stay in the castle during the day, I stumbled upon a group of older kids who called me over. They asked me a bunch of questions, like where my parents were and where I lived, and tried to explain a bunch of things. I barely understood any of it, but they led me to a street corner where a bunch of other foals around my age were playing. There I met my best friend.
We ran and sang and bounced rocks. When the guard patrols came around, we hid together from them like the older ponies did, even though they told us not to. We talked about what we knew and what we wanted to know. About our dreams and aspirations- the kind of things it’s easy to talk about when you’re younger. I tripped and fell at one point and she helped me up and made me feel better. We played together all day until it got dark and the older ponies said I had to go home. I was sad, but she said she’d see me again tomorrow.
I met her again the next day. She gave me a hug and we played again all day. She was the first real friend I’d ever had. I valued every moment I spent with her. I came back the next day, then again the next day, and the next day. Time seems to pass slower when you’re younger, so I don’t really know how long I knew her. But eventually the day came that she didn’t come back.
I asked and some of the other foals said that maybe she was sick. Next day, same thing. And again, and again. Eventually they wouldn’t even answer me. They’d just look away or ignore me if I asked about her. She was just gone. I never found out for sure what happened to her.
1) I haven’t, though somepony has brought it up before.
2) I can see this dialog is really gonna go places, with ground-breaking research and proper citations.
3) I am, but it’s not. You shouldn’t feel the need to prove anything to me.
4) Too bad.
5) Remember that question about triggers?
Here’s one.
6) Zero. Unless you mean visual contact.
7) I’ve actually spoken about this before. Growing up I was right there with the grime. Keep your head down, your eyes averted and your mouth shut. As an adult, I understand the importance of speaking out. If I had made more attempts to contact law enforcement, I’d have been a lot better off. Maybe some more lives could have been saved in the long run too.
1) I watched a video with chapter 1 and 2 in it. Chapter 1 was terrible. The second one was alright.
2) Yes. That’s exactly how that works. All girls pass waste from their bodies the same way birds do.
3) If I did, I’d still be evading it.
4) You used fatness and place of residence as character assassinating insults. Combined the two concepts together and attempted to use them to prove stupidity, ineptitude, or both. You cite no creditable sources or statistics for any of these claims, nor prove that they have anything to do with anything even if they are present. And that’s just off the top of my head.
Ahem. But no. I’ve never heard of this social thingy.
5) I tried to look him up, but it doesn’t sound like he has any powers. That would be the equivalent of trying to stop a truck in your world with your face.
6) Brawls are shorter. My pitiful magic reserve is only suited for the short term.
Seriously, 5 miles. Who comes up with something like that?

And I had to keep you in a tight bear hug until security arrived. I’m just thankful there were no young, impressionable foals around to hear what you were saying.
1) Yeah… I didn’t like Harry Potter. I mean, I even read four of the books. I just never got it.
2) Everypony does. Someponies just hide it, or try to tell themselves they don’t mind.
3) I have a pool of character names I pull from, depending on the situation. Sometimes I make some more up, but it takes a while.
4) What? I’m the Wacky Queen! I breathe wacky! Zany too! Tots zany!
5)
6) The thing about stress is that it doesn’t care what’s bothering you in the physical world. If it has a strong psychological impact, it can be just as damaging to your mind as the stressors accompanied by life-threatening situations. It’s all about mental conditioning, and it’s certainly something that needs to be given much greater attention.
That said, there is a marked difference between losing your iPony and losing the last bit you had saved for dinner.
7) Let’s play a game called List the Fallacies! How many can you spot?!
8) Hey! I’m more aware of my surroundings than that! Even in the heat of the moment, I knew there weren’t any around!
1) I’ll be the first to admit that, in the grand scheme of things, I don’t know jack about music. But if there’s one thing I always remember, it’s to stay away from that hotel.
2) I’m sorry, all I heard was-
3) Some random b-… beautiful young mare, yanked my mane and Krastos had to hold me back.
4) No more hate. No more ponies hurting each other intentionally. Everypony is free to not like one another, but no more violence.
There are certain things that exist in our world that, if removed, eliminate purpose. But wonton violence or fighting over plentiful resources isn’t one of them.
5) Please don’t.
6) There wasn’t any. Not for me, at least.
7) Hub Network just sounds like a system. And Hasbro, a brand. You won’t fool me that easily.
Found one of your little spy cams.
Not a bad shot, but didn’t that logo used to be in the bottom corner?
Edit: Found a bigger one.

2) Don’t the bees die when they sting?
3)
4) Are you?
5) I think Freddie would tip the scale in Equestria’s favor.
Yay Successful holiday celebration! :D
1) I don’t really have a point of reference. Krastos says it went well.
2) He means enough to me that I would never, even if I wasn’t with Krastos.
3) Pretty good!
4) Well, that’s sort of the point. Members of Cue aren’t supposed to be seen. He could have been there all along and you’d have never known it.
5) It was sort of a friend-of-a-friend type deal. I had to at least give him a shot. And he was funny, up until the tongue-on-the-Tootsie part.
And leftovers are not a problem! Leftovers are tomorrow’s breakfast, lunch, and dinner!
6) Thanks for celebrating with us!
Mr. Cake is feeling a little down, so I wanted to share something close to me.
Like the other screenshots I’ve posted, this is from my version of that human game about us. This is where I’ve stood from the time I was level 22 to where I am currently, having just reached 41. Even though we don’t get to talk very much in reality, I get to see him everyday!
I just want you to know that if you ever do leave tumblr, while I’ll respect your decision, I’ll miss you Mr. Cake. You’re my friend and you do mean a lot to me.

“All up ons”? As in “the ladies will be all up ons”? Can’t say I expected to hear that anytime soon.
1) Thanks! And thanks for coming!
2) It went well, foal-licking aside. Rarity called and had to cancel, and Tootsie’s parents only came to drop her off. They had some sort of high-class party to go to or somethin’. But everything was great and tasted great!
3) I have no idea. I know most of the time they don’t even see one another. B says there’s a few members he’s never met at all.
4) I don’t know what he’d say, but I know what I’d say!
5) Well, more like on top of the situation, but you know, whatevah.
i lose.
To be completely honest I figured something like this would happen. I was pretty surprised you lasted as long as you did!
Now get the [omitted] out of my house.
1) B: You are dumb as a board and twice as entertaining. Too bad boards aren’t entertaining or you’d be in business.
2) B: Hey stupid! It’s the question about the thing!
I haven’t seen it!
B: She hasn’t seen it.
3) B: Got a list here. You, Lyra, Bon-Bon, Krastos, Krastos’ brother Harry, Sweetie Belle, Rarity is marked as a maybe, their parents, Tootsie Flute, her parents, York, Black Strawberry, Fuse Light, and something called a “Sexxi Bby” whatever that is.
B: I won’t be present. Unless I need to be.
4) B: She’ll let you know who actually shows up, I’m sure.
5) B: I’m just helping out while she and the household are busy getting ready. But I do check her account from time to time.
6) B: Hey stupid-!
I said I hadn’t seen it!
B: No, the other one!
That doesn’t have just one definition!
B: She needs more clarification.
B: Oh, and I’m supposed to link this song.
