Standing on the top platform of the airship, watching the slowly approaching massive pyramid castle.
It looked even bigger than when I saw it in that dream with Luna. That pyramid actually were larger in ground area than most of Canterlot. The city, not the castle.
It was built in a very monolithic style and been constructed for thousands of years. The seat of their entire government and most of their military.
Where we are going.
“Wow, that’s bit…wow…” Sunset said over the wind as she moved up next to me.
“That’s what she said.”
Sunset rolled her eyes and put a hoof on the railing, her horn lighting up to adjust her thick winter scarf, pulling her winter cloak tighter around herself.
Putting my wing across her back against the cold, I frowned at the massive building. As we slowly got closer, the rest of the city slowly got into focus. Two levels of city, one massive circle of monolithic blocks fitted together like a wall around the city. Half way to the pyramid, there were a second circle, identical to the first one.
That city was a fortress.
I completely understood why. The griffons didn’t have magic and there were literal monsters wandering around. I would have wanted the biggest honking walls as I could get too.
Which admittedly was one of the original reasons Canterlot were built on the side of a fricking mountain.
“It’s kind of intimidating.”
“That’s what sh… oomph!” I started before I rubbed my side where she elbowed me.
Sunset flicked her ears and turned her attention back towards the view, “So… how do you wanna play this?”
“I was thinking to just about go with the flow and do my best. You?”
“Oh, I just planned to follow along, everyone is going to paying attention to you anyway, wingboy, I don’t need to do anything.”
I turned to look at her, “Hey, that’s my move when with Luna!”
“Well, it works!”
“I know, but I kind of counted on you drawing some of it,” I grumbled, “Can’t you just… you know?”
“What?”
“Dress up a tiny bit and be yourself? That always draw a lot of attention.”
That got a smile from her, “Forget it, I want to see this place, not be drawn into political stuff.”
Sigh.
“That’s not fair,” I grumbled.
“It totally is, wing-boy,” Sunset answered with a smile.
Sighing, I shifted my free wing, “…I guess you’re right.”
Sunset rolled her eyes and then smiled, “Oh relax, I’ll go to any official functions with you.”
“…Thanks,” I said before I pulled her a bit tighter to my side with my wing, “Worst thing about those things is when there is nopony there you know and can talk to outside of the usual pointless small ltalk.”
“I know,” she answered and leaned softly against my side in turn,”Besides, I’m kind a curious on how a griffon reception turns out.”
I grinned, “I predict fish or even meat meat may be involved.”
“Oh, ick.”
“Vegan.”
“Carnivore.”
I glanced at her and she looked at me in turn before she grinned. I grinned back and flicked my ears, “You know… the portal should open again for a couple of days in a year or so. I promised to take Luna through on a date. You’d want to pop back through too.”
Sunset hesitated for a second, “That would be extra strange. Not sure to be honest.”
“Oh, come on, you know there are things you would like from the human world,” I told her with a smile, “How about a laptop?”
She stuck her tongue out, “Yeah, sure. How would I be typing on that?” she asked and held her hoof up.
“Yeah, how could that possibly work,” I laughed and tapped my horn against hers.
Sunset cleared her throat and shifting a bit then looked thoughtful, “…Yeah, I guess that could maybe work? With practice at least. But how would I keep it char… okay, solar cells, figured it out.” She said before she added, “May want to be careful with the horn tapping… it’s a rather intimate thing for unicorns.”
I blinked and then nodded a bit, “…Sorry.”
“It’s fine. It’s not very common nowadays anyway, kind of old fashioned.”
I nodded, “Still about the laptop thing, worst case, throw Sparks at it, bet she’d figure it out fast enough.”
Sunset nodded a bit, “She would… and most likely fry the first couple ones. Maybe I should pop through and see what I can find. Oh, and stock up on gummy candy. It’s impossible to find in Equestria.”
I nodded and then frowned in thought, “Wait, don’t that contain…”
“I don’t want to hear it! Don’t you dare ruin this for me!”
Do it page! Give in to the temptation! Its like spoiling a new movie. So much POWAH!
Yes.
YES.
YES!
YES!
I mean, if nothing comes of it, that's quite alright. Theirs is a wonderful relationship all the same and the story is good. But also...
YES!
no page dont do it, dont cheat on your waifu
Cadence explained it best: must stay away, or you'll catch a bad case of the stupids from the 'friends' only ponies.
DRIVING. ME. NUTS
That's a lot of meat. I didn't expect less from griffons.

Both Luna and Twilight have previously stated that they would be totally fine with the two of them being together, but Sunset and Page have both denied interest in that sort of relationship with eachother.
9147220
Is it driving you nuts, or are you being driven by your nuts?
If only I could use that excuse... I am so crazing jello and have been for some time!
No meat not gelatin no jello
hum Twilight with a laptop, this is going to work out so good.
you wont see her out of her lab for weeks.
Shouldn't griffons have the same magic as pegasi? Aerokinesis for simple flight and adjusting the weather? Probably can't do the "weather now only works when we manually set it" because they aren't Harmonic but it's not like they don't have anything.
Agar is a good vegan replacement for gelatin extracted from algae. Just stock up on that and throw Pinkie at it.
WOULD YOU TWO JUST STOP IT! Come on! You know what’s good for you and it’s there winking you right in the face!
Of course I am talking about brining phone technology! Telecommunications! It’s a gold mine!
Also, you two need to bang and get it over with.

Just bang already! These undertones of shipping is murder!

“Page? Can you scrub my back?”
“Sure best best friend.”
“Page? I’m cold can I snuggle with you?”
“Sure best friend! Buddy ol’ pal!”
“Page? Estrus sucks. Can you help me with that?”
“Sure friend of friends!”
Ruining gummy bears is evil on the scale of getting Rainbow'd to the face

It's not cheating when she actively tells you to tap that plot and keep it close for the rest of it's life

Honestly, I kind of like it, these two are adorable in how close they are and yet they're in denial.... it's too cute!!!

Was thinking the same thing. Also, fruit pectin is surprisingly strong. Not sure if you can go full gummy candy, but I think you can.
9147240
It's a well known fact that the most popular dish in Griffonstone is Carne con carne
IT WAS ONLY A KISS! (Not really.)
This is murder. Reminds me of the protagonist in Living in Equestria as he acts with Pinkie on occasion. That was also murder.
Please continue giving me blue balls. It gives me life.

Lol there are vegan varieties. Also, there's almost no such thing as a purely herbivorous large mammal.
Saw a neat and easy recepie for gummy rock candy that's pure vegan.

Now I'm falling asleep
And she's calling a cab
While he's having a smoke
And she's taking a drag
Now they're going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it's all in my head
But she's touching his chest
Now, he takes off her dress
Now, letting me go
Man, there is a distracting amount of grammar errors in this chapter...
There's vegan gummy candy. Gelatin can be sourced from seaweed or algae.

Ive tried it, it taste like crap. If you find one that actually taste good, please tell me.
Until then, ill stick with the good candy.
Wait, what does it contain, im confused
Edit: nevermind, just looked it up
These two are infuriating
The meatiest meat you'll ever meet.
It doesn't and hasn't for decades actually.

Gamer Luna might become a thing.

Gummy candy? Isn't that like against vegan/vegetarian shtick.
Double the meat, double the fun!

Gamer Luna& Celestia would be nice, we get one for Cadance and Shining Armor as well.
Hmm... maybe instead of real wars with creatures dying, Equis/Equus can settle wars like that?

Imagen Celestia, Luna and Page on a 'hot seat' game season.
I like to play it versus the A.I. , unfortunately the constant changing music in the background can be jarring.
Also now a days I have like 50 movies saved up on a external drive, and a lot more in DVD.
Something I would definitely buy on mass before returning to pony Equestria from human Equestria.
Probably the hole Battletech series on book and some science stuff for Twilight.
Seeing as how Sunset is a non-human alien, the proper pronunciation related to her would be "VAY'-gun" rather than "VEE'-gun".
Waitasec....
Then again--pretty much applies to ALL Vegans, doesn't it?
When the portal reopens, Page just needs to bring a dozen pounds of gold and buy up everything in Best Buy...All of them. And pick up a few server farms from Granger, the defense contractor.
