You are definitely not going to forget that toothbrush!

Oh! What’s that to the west!

Nothing that confirms that particular hypothosis. Nothing of any real interest, really. Some ponies going about their business, a few storefronts and venders.

What were you just thinking about? Oh well, probably nothing important.

Hugs aren’t something that take up space. This is silly.

You’re also almost positive that Princess isn’t actually a princess. Princess isn’t even her real name!

At least you assume it isn’t…

nadinasneedles-blog asked: Do you like green eggs and ham?

I do.

Thanks, Sam, where ever you are!

Anonymous asked: Did Boscov make you a coat out of his own fur? Was that what you found?

No.

ask-fiw-pinkiepie-blog asked: Hey, Lyra! If you, for example, got into a little problem with dragons how would you fix it? Just wondering and all.

Which dragon? Can’t approach a problem like that with generalities.

Anonymous asked: *Throws a potion at you that turns you into a horny colt*

This is a link.

Anonymous asked: How was your weekend at Boscov's?

It was nice. I accidentally found something Boscov intended to give me, but I’ll still try to act surprised when the time comes.

Anonymous asked: hello i am a butt doctor and i am here to examine your butt

Yeah, go right ahead.

All the better to kick you in the face with.

theblackstrawberry asked: Gimmie a notice when you can hang out please~

Sorry, Strawberry. I have work this week and when I get home I have to work on trying to fix my desktop.

We regret to inform you…

Okay, so this is what I managed to get out of her in between sobs.

Sweetie was trying to play something with Ruby. I think it was Penguin Club. An overlay popup ad came up and she tried to click off of it, but it moved. It was one of those ads that expand if you mouse over them. Anyway, she accidentally clicked it and it put some horribly evasive virus on my desktop that won’t let me open a single program. It just keeps telling me to buy their stupid anti-virus scam.

Point being, I can’t work on any music until this is fixed. Can’t play City of Ponies either.

Your right forehoof twitches. Even if time wasn’t short and ponies lives weren’t in danger, you would never do such a thing in front of your mentor! In a way, his opinion is more important to you than even your family’s! The day he accepted you as his apprentice was the best day of your life! It was vindication for everything that had happened to you since the day you got your cutie mark. Maybe even before that! You would literally rather die than embarrass yourself in front of him.

Certainly, you love your family more, but your sister wasn’t exactly pleased to hear about you moving away. And despite his support, deep down you think your brother was hoping you’d fail so you’d return home to the farm.

You promise your master you’ll do your best, which he doesn’t seem to know how to answer to. He still may not believe you. You say your goodbyes and he wishes you well before you leave.

You head to the gardening store to pick up a spade, getting strange glances from ponies as you march about loaded down like you’re preparing for the apocalypse. You use some of your money buying the spade, which fits neatly into one of your bags.

You pause for a moment, alone, standing around the center of town and still getting some awkward glances because of all the bags you’re carrying. You still feel unsure about heading back up the mountain, but that might just be fear.

Bag 1: Smithing Tools+Multitool/(3) Blankets.

Bag 2: Ample Food/Ample Water.

Bag 3: Scarf+Lighter+Towel+Spade+Small Space/Rope.

ask-pony-with-fingers-blog-blog asked: Don't be alarmed, but I think I might be inside your body. Reality seems a little out of whack at the moment. Anything feel out of the ordinary for you?

I’m a little sleepy. Sweetie and I just got back from Boscov’s and I have work in the morning.

You begin to sing the classic foal’s song immortalized by ponynet shenanigans. Unfortunately, those are the only words to the song you know, so you don’t get very far.

Then you start explaining about butterflies, but quickly realize your teacher has already grown annoyed with your antics.

After that you sigh and tell him the truth. Minus the voices in your head part, because that makes you sound crazy. The mountain, the two ponies, the shadows, and how they can’t leave. As you could have predicted he doesn’t believe you, which isn’t fair! You’re an honest pony when things get serious! He seems insistent on this being the product of too much television, video games, or internet before bed.

Distraught and out of ideas you… you hug him and begin crying. You say you love him and that you’re scared for the two ponies you met. He pulls away from you and looks deep into your eyes. He seems to find something earnest deep inside because when he turns away, it’s to grab the rope again and hoof it over to you.

You hug him again and thank him. He replies only by telling you to be careful with whatever it is you’re doing. He doesn’t want to have to start training a new apprentice.
