“Oh, AJ, could I get my phone back, by the way?”
>”Oh, sure Anon. Forgot I even had it…”
[Applejack gives you an iPhone.]
“Thanks, this could really be of help…”
>”By the way, hope you don’t mind, but while I was waiting with the smithy I got a little bored and uuh, snooped around a bit. That angry birds game is pretty fun once I figured it out.”
>She smiles at you when your look of surprise shown.
>You’re very glad you gave your porn folder a password.

>There is a two-way Postbox at the corner of the Trainstation, complete with complimentary envelopes and stamps!
>You walk over to this Postbox and enseal the clippers inside, stamping it with a lick and writing Zecora’s name on the front, setting it nicely into the ‘Outgoing’ slot.
[The clippers have been sent to Zecora.]
>When you’ve completed this, there was still some time to wait, but you’ve had some time to look at how Redheart fights, as of late.
>You walk up to her and give her a light flick on the ear.
>”Huh? Oh, babe, you scared me..”
“Sorry. Uh, I was wondering if you wanted to train a little bit, see if we can get that shield working a little more in your favor?”
>”I don’t see why not, but don’t use that hulking spear on me. Don’t want any unecessary injuries, right?”
“Implying I’d ever willingly hurt you.”
>You equip your old spear and go off into the plains a ways with Redheart, ready to train with her.

>”I’m sorry Anon, I just couldn’t figure out what you were trying to teach me.”
>That was a significant waste of time.
>Even though you knew a little better how to handle your own spear, it was something else entirely teaching someone else.
>Maybe when you get more proficient, it would be possible?
>As well as with the shield bash, you had no clue what you were doing, and it wasn’t the wisest idea to try and teach something you’ve never done yourself.
>Nevertheless, the train is approaching, so you and Redheart return to the party to wait for it.
>Berry had been watching the little display, and she nudges you once you get back on the platform.
>”Didn’t have too much luck there, buddy?”
“N-no, not really…”
>”You uuh… Are you like that in the bedroom, too?”
“Okay, changing subject. Train’s here!”
>Pinkie is bouncing in pure ecstatic anticipation, probably to see her other friends again.
>A blow of the steam and a screeching halt later, you find yourselves talking to the Ticketmaster.
>”Tickets for… 5?”
“We’re on official business with Twilight Sparkle.”
>”Oh, really? Names?”
“Anonymous, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Berry Punch, Nurse Redheart.”
>”... Ah, you’re all clear. Climb aboard, I suppose. NEXT!”
>Filing into a free cubicle, you set down your things and prepare for the train ride.
>Small conversation can be heard until the train finally sounds its horn, rolling out of the station with a few other ponies waving goodbye to their traveling kin.
“Alright, so what’s the damage?”
>AJ gives you a puzzled stare.
>”The what now?”
“Er, how long is this ride going to be, I mean?”
>At the mere thought, Pinkie’s mane deflates slightly.
>”Oh Nonny, we never told you… It’s going to be a super-duper long whole 12 hours!”
>Oh sweet Celestia.
“Holy shit.”
>Berry Punch seems shocked as well, most likely never having been to the Crystal Empire herself.
“I’m so glad AJ got me this liquor, now. Well, what do we do for all this time?”
“Redheart, can you help me patch these guys up real quick? Pinkie and Berry still haven’t been tended to.”
>”Oh, right. They told me not to worry about it before, but now it’s 3 against 2.”
>They roll their eyes as Redheart unleashes a medkit upon them.
[Berry and Pinkie fully healed, all status effects removed! -1 Medkit]
>”Thanks Red, now I don’t have to waste any booze trying to dull the pain.”
>Pinkie gives Red a big hug before bouncing just as well as she had been.
>AJ was amused, anyways.
>”Well, Anon. You managed to kill 10 minutes. Any other ideas?”
“Haha, well, I got some books to read actually, things that could be important to taking out this shadow. What are you gonna do?”
>In response, AJ takes her hat and shoves it down over her face, laying back on one of the cushioned seats.
>Good idea, actually, but you wanted to see what you could learn from these.
>Do you want to do anything before or after reading the books while riding?
 
 
 
>Gotta stay diligent.
>You take a seat on a nearby train bench, and pull out a book.
>This will hopefully kill some time.

>That was a lot of reading, and your eyes are heavily strained.
>It’s almost dusk now, and a lot of your party members are asleep.
>The only ones that aren’t are Berry and Pinkie, and the former was borderline drunk.
>You look around and see all of the bored looking passengers.
>They all look so… vulnerable.
>To pranks, that is.
>This is too good of an opportunity to pass up; you must do this.
>Getting up from your seat, you go to Pinkie and Berry.
“Hey you two, you wanna do something?”
>Pinkie looks at you with a massive grin.
>”I’d LOVE to!”
>Berry turns her head from looking out the window, speaking in a somewhat bored tone.
>”What do you have in mind?”
>You smirk deviously, letting the idea you had in mind sink in...
>...
>“Aha! Gotcha!”
>Pinkie and Berry laugh as a random pony pulls a telescope away from their eye, revealing a black ring encircling it.
>You roll your eyes at the harmless prank.
>That’s not your style, you need something bigger.
>As you look around and think, an item on the wall of the next car over catches your eyes.
>Another passenger opens the door to go through.
>You head through the door after him, but not before the door closes.
>There it is.
>It appears to be a freaky, crazy-eyed, green, pink-nosed mask out of some tribal era or something.
>How did it even get here?... Oh well.
>You take it off of it’s resting place, and put it on your face.
>Heading back, you look for an unsuspecting victim.
>After a brief search, you find one in the form of a sleeping mare in the a seat in the back… Who looked like she was made of crystals.
>Interesting, but not enough to deter you from your chosen path.
>With a smirk, you get closer.
>One you are close enough, you step in front of her.
>Leaning closer, you tap her on the shoulder area.
>The slumbering mare rises into consciousness after a moment, yawning and stretching but still very oblivious to her surroundings.
>When you are sure she’s in the perfect state between sleep and alertness, you yell.
“OOGA BOOGA BOOGA!”
>You hold your arms out at your sides as you hop to each of your feet.
>A shriek of terror escapes her mouth.
>You scream even louder.
>This goes on for about ten seconds, until she stops.
>At this point, you begin to laugh.
>She is blubbering and stuttering, sweating and shaking, and you laugh a little less.
>Then you hear something hitting the ground.
>There is a puddle of piss between her legs, dripping haplessly on the floor.
>Now you aren’t sure whether to laugh or feel bad.
>The decision is finalized when she runs away in a dribble of tears and urine.
>Well, shit.
>You return to Pinkie and Berry, noticing everyone else on the train is in fact awake because of your little stunt, now.
>Pinkie looks over at you, an uncharacteristic scowl on her face.
>”That wasn’t very nice, Anon! Don’t you see what you did?”
>The alcoholic sitting next to her also starts to scold.
>”Yeah Anon, not cool. I might get a bit sour at the counter, but I’ve never made somepony else cry and piss themselves.”
>You cross your arms.
“How was I supposed to know that would happen?”
>They didn’t even argue with you anymore. They simply went back to their cubicle and left you standing there.
>You did feel bad though. If you saw her again, you’d apologize.
>
>Well, there isn’t a lot to do now.
>It’s a bit tense with Berry and Pinkie right now, but nothing relationship damaging, so you need to take their minds off you for now.
>Suddenly, you remember your idea to build a gun.
>This train probably has everything you need, now that you think about it.
>They might even have spare parts you can use!
>You get up and head for the front. It would probably be a good idea to ask the pony who runs this train about it.
>That seemed to be a bit of a challenge in and of itself, as the door to the conductor’s room was locked.
>You give it a few knocks, and wait for a moment.
>The door clicks on the side, and it slides out to reveal a mustached stallion with blue and white striped clothing.
>”Uh, yes? What can I do you for?”
“Hello, I was wondering if there were any spare parts for the train that you could possibly part with, maybe?”
>He twiddles his ‘stache as he thinks.
>”Well, what exactly were you fancying?”
“I was looking for metal pipes, and if there’s any extra, an ignition mechanism.”
>”Well, normally I don’t do this, but you sound like you know what you’re talking about. Follow me to the back, hairless.”
>He closes the door behind him and begins walking through the aisles. leading you onward.
>Along the way, he gives you a quick summary of how they get extra parts and where they’re taken, giving you a bit of know-how with Equestrian tech.
>It definitely wasn’t nearly as advanced as Earth’s, their most recent invention was… Well, this train and it’s high-caliber speed.
>He takes you through the back and through a side door.
>You’re suddenly being led through very dark hallways, with nothing but heat and red light from the burning coals of the workers shoveling fuel into the furnace.
>Even farther than that, he finally stops at a long line of shelves in one of the back compartments with a modicum of storage containers.
>”If you’re looking for anything like that, it’ll be in one of these boxes. I just ask that you be careful when you’re searching, we have to keep everything ship-shape, as it were.”
“I’ll be sure to do that. Thanks, Mr… uh, Conductor.”
>”Name’s Steam Pocket, and you’re welcome. Don’t doddle too long.”
>He gives you a goodbye nod, leaving you in the barracks of the containers.
>There were three main aisles: Shrinkage, Scrap, and Magic.
>Which aisle do you search first?
 
 
 
>The Scrap Aisle seemed like the best place to begin, due to its high potential to harbor items that you may very well need.

>Through the red coal lights, the dark hallways, and you push your way back through the side door into the cubicles.
>A bit of walking later and you find the rest of your party conversing normally, until you approached them.
>They smelled you before they saw you, AJ being the first to vocalize your suspicion.
>”Oh, goodness, that smells worse than the chickens back home during high noon in summertime!”
>They each covered their noses as you appeared in the doorway of the cubicle, and Redheart gasped.
>”Oh Celestia, what happened to you, Anon? You’re covered in… In..”
>Berry finished for her.
>”Who blew chunks all over you, seriously? Did you go on a drinking binge after that scare or something?”
“I fought a giant mutated rat that nearly killed me.”
>Needless to say, they were speechless.
“I got a bunch of supplies, though. I’m making something to give to that crystal pony I scared, and uuh… Gonna go talk to the conductor real quick. Okay?”
>They slowly nodded in unison.
>You stood there awkwardly, until your legs made you take off back towards the conductor’s door.
>Once you reach it, you go to knock on the door, but it opens before you ever touch it.
>Steam Pocket stands there once again, but this time he has a clothespin on his nose.
>”Good gravy, hairless, what is that horrible stench you’re carrying?”
“There was a magically corrupted rat in that magic aisle that attacked me, so I put it down. Might want to get a cleaning team on that by the way, uh, thanks for letting me take a look at those spare parts, it really helped me out.”
>He nods as he adjusts the clothespin.
>”Right, you’re welcome again son, anything else?”
“I was wondering if you maybe had any blank schematic papers that I could use? I have something in my mind that could be beneficial to Equestria, but I need something official to use.”
>He looks back for a second at the other conductor that was working, and back at you.
>”One second, I might have just the thing…”
>The door closes on you, and you stand there with the vomit seeping ever deeper into your clothing.
>A few moments later, and the door opens, the other conductor handing you your desired item and closing it right afterward.

“Alright…”
