//------------------------------// // Chapter 9 // Story: Legend of The Crystal Ball // by SuperPinkBrony12 //------------------------------// Zecora wasted no time in asking questions, speaking in rhyme as always. "So if I may ask Pinkie Pie? Why is it that you have come to visit me at this time?" she asked. Normally I would have been tempted to ask how she always manages to rime on a dime so to speak but for some reason that wasn't the case this time. So I told her about everything that had happened over the past 9 days, I explained from why I had done the fortune telling thing in the first place to the yelling at The Mayor and running away. "And that's my story. Well up to now anyway." I said as I finished up my tale. Zecora paused for a moment and then she asked me "Pinkie Pie although your actions are in the past. Do you think that you reacted too fast?" I wanted to say that no I had not reacted too fast, that I was right to say and do what I had done. But a voice inside my head told that I was wrong, that I shouldn't have gotten so upset, espcially at The Mayor. Looking back at it I realized that had been a stupid mistake, one that I would likely have to apologize for later. So after some deep thinking for a moment I said "Yes my reactions were indeed too fast. Even if the ponies did believe that I could predict the future I had no right to be mad with them. But then how do I tell them that I can't predict the future? If I just tell them they may not believe me, so what can I do to convince them that nopnoy not even Celestia can predict the future and that the fortune telling thing was a joke." Zecora answered almost right away, something I was very surprised by. Maybe she really did have a zebra sense or something. "Pinkie Pie the only advice I have to you is to just explain and apologize. Show them that you can't predict the future and they should have no reason to criticize." So that was it really. That was the advice that Zecora gave me. I know it's nothing special but hey some advice is better than no advice right? Well with Zecora having given me the advice I needed I bid her farewell and set out for home. It was really late by the time I returned to Sugercube Corner and The Cakes were already asleep. I sliently tiphooved my way to my room to avoid waking them up. Once in my room I climbed into my bed and fell asleep almost instantly because I knew I had a big day ahead of me tommorrow.
