"Another town, another party." Cheese thought out loud to himself as he walked off into the blazing sunset. He closed his eyes and walked farther and farther away from the bustling town, feeling the warmth of the friendly atmosphere of Ponyville for one last time for a long time.

"Its almost hard to believe I've come this far..." He whispered with a warm smile and turned around to face Ponyville. His silhouette in the sunlight made his dark golden fur through his poncho dimly glow and his dark chocolate mane looked black in the shade of the nearly set sun. A cool breeze blew past him and sent a powerful chill through his body and he suddenly shot ten feet into the air, causing his poncho and sombrero to fly off of his body. 

"I did it Boneless-two! I finally got to tell her how thankful I am!" Cheese caught Boneless-two when he landed and held up the rubber chicken for a one-hoof embrace, not being able to contain himself anymore. 

It wasn't the real Boneless, but Cheese knew that he was in good hooves now. 
The hooves of a very special pony that Cheese had loved and cared about for almost his whole life. But of course, he hadn't told her that yet! He had only just talked to her today and he knew he would see her again someday soon. 
The tall golden pony slumped down on the side of a nearby stone.

"Oh, Pinkie is just so wonderful" he sighed with a glistening expression in his tired eyes. 
He stared up at the now rising moon and gave a huge yawn

"I think... I think we should go to the... Crystal Empire next... what do you think, Boneless-two..."
The rubber chicken gave no answer, but Cheese wouldn't have heard him anyway. His dark golden coat glowed silver in the pale moonlight as he gave off light snores. The sounds of the party still echoed in the distance as Cheese dreamed of the day his life changed forever.
