That Mango Scented Mare

Third Time's the Charm...?

*ding!*

Mango stirred her cereal, which looks to be almost drowning in milk, just the way she likes it. Rails was still in the shower, humming a little tune. Today is the second day of his visit, and Mango had plans to take him on a tour of New Trot City.

"Hey Rails! You mind if I call up a few of my friends to meet up with us in town? I thought it would be good for me to introduce you to them." Mango shouted across the kitchen.

"Ah, okay. I wouldn't mind, if fact, I would be delighted to meet them!" Rails replied with sounds of splashing water. "Who will be coming though?" He asked.

"Hmm... I've heard that Juby is coming down to New Trot City today as well... She came from Baltimare to do a bit of shopping, I believe." Mango replied with a mouthful of cereal.

"I see. I am definitely up for it, if you say so!" Rails dried his mane. "Ever since I was a little filly, my 'ma always told me that New Trot City was a grandiose place. I've always wanted to see it for my own. I bet Yesterday was just a sneak peak, huh, Mango?" Rails gazed at the morning sun outside the window.

Mango nodded in reply. With a final slurp, she cleared her bowl of milk and cereal. She grabbed her towel on the back of the chair.

"My turn."


Soon afterwards, they were on the bus to town. Mango prepared a backpack with a camera, some water and snacks in case they got hungry. She also wore a old grey bonnet, with a blue ribbon on it. Her mum bought it for her, thinking she would look good wearing it. Mango, however, disliked the idea of dressing like a young Mary Trottings. So the bonnet stayed in the closet ever since.
