Loki and I

Kids These Days (Part 3) - S1 E32

"I have a bad feeling about this," Loki sighs as he stares out the train window.

"What? How? This all makes perfect sense," I reply, staring with him, "Cow, eat and chew, possibly meaning apples. And a farm makes food."

"Yeah, Loki, quit being so negative," Zoe glares playfully at him.

We're now all sitting on the same seat on a train to Ponyville. We spent the bits Discord gave us on the train tickets instead, so this'd better be worth it.

"Hey, I think the train's finally coming into the station," I squee, playing with my hooves in excitement. It took almost an hour and a half, but we're finally here.

"Okay, so how're we supposed to find this farm?" Zoe asks.

"It's gotta be around this place somewhere," I reply as the train comes to a stop, "But Twilight's not going to Canterlot until next week, so she's most likely here. And you know, I'd probably get in deep shit if she finds out about all... this."

"Alright. Avoid this Twilight of whom you speak, find a farm in this minute town," Loki says to clarify, "Got it."

The train doors open. I practise my flying by buzzing my wings and hovering towards the doorway as other ponies trot off. Zoe gallops out in excitement, followed by me levitating, then Loki doing a hasty trot behind me.

"So this is what Ponyville looks like before dark," I say matter of factly as we jump off the wooden platform and into Ponyville, "This air..." I hold my neck in mock-choke, "Too fresh."

Loki 'eheheh's at my joke.

"Okay... who should we ask?" Zoe inquires, staring at the small, white houses with yellow roofs.

"About what?" A familiar, screechy voice asks.

The three of us jump in shock, making my wings deactivate. I fall onto Zoe, who shoves me off of her. We turn around to see Pinkie Pie smiling happily down at us.

"Oh, hey," I smile back.

"Hi! I'm Pinkie Pie! You three look really familiar, have I seen you around here? Because I know everypony, and I mean every pony in Ponyville! Or maybe you're new or you're alternate versions of ponies I've seen in the distant past..."

"Um... I don't think so," I reply, rubbing the back of my head, "Uh... do you know where we can find a farm around here? Apparently it belongs to somepony called Apple... something."

"Applejack!" Pinkie exclaims.

"Yeah, that," I nod.

"No, behind you!" She points. We turn our heads to see an orange mare with freckles, green eyes, and a blonde mane. Her mane has been loosely tied up in a ponytail, and she wears a light chestnut coloured hat.

"Hey, Pinkie," the earth pony grins, trotting up to us and crossing one hoof over the other, "Just wonderin' if I could use some flour from Sugarcube Corner? I gotta bake all these apple pies for the apple family reunion t'morrow."

I don't know why, but her cowpony accent is actually really cool.

"Hi, AJ! Yeah, you can borrow some flour. Also, these three are looking for you," Pinkie gestures towards us.

"Well, howdy, young'ns!" Applejack smiles, adjusting her hat, "Watcha need?"

"Uh..." I shuffle my hooves uncomfortably. How to explain this to a ponyvillian...

"Could you excuse us for just a sec?" Zoe smiles weakly, before pulling Loki and me into a group huddle. "Okay," she whispers, "Obviously, we can't explain what happened."
