“How about these picture frames?” I suggested, pointing to my right.

“Ooh, good choice!” Twilight complimented me as she proceeded towards the picture frames. “Some of these picture frames date back all the way to the time of the Mighty Helm!”

If it wasn’t for the fact that Twilight’s told me about Rockhoof, I wouldn't have had any idea what she was talking about.

“How fascinating,” I stated, trying to actually sound interested.

“Actually, picture frames do have quite a history,” Twilight said as she perused the various frames. “Did you know that…”

For the next five minutes, Twilight gave me a brief overview of the history of the picture frame, which I was surprised she even knew. I did my best to follow along, but some of what she was saying went completely over my head. I didn’t want to ask questions for fear that the history lesson would never end. Nevertheless, I tried to listen to every word Twilight said. It made me happy to see my marefriend happily talking about something that fascinated her, even if it didn’t fascinate me.

“So, any of them catch your eye?” I asked Twilight once she finished.

“Well, I kind of like this one,” Twilight answered as she levitated one of the frames up. “It’s a little rusted, but I have some clear at home that could restore it.”

“I like it too,” I concurred honestly, admiring the classical design of the frame.

“Then let’s get it!” Twilight happily stated. “We can restore it and then pick a picture to put inside it!”

“Sounds like a plan,” I agreed.

“Great, be right back,” Twilight said as she took the frame over to the store pony for purchase.

Once we had the picture frame, Twilight and I wasted no time in restoring it to it’s former glory. The process didn’t take long, and we actually managed to get it looking pretty good.

“Wow, it came out even better than I thought it would,” Twilight stated, admiring our handy work.

“Yeah, now we just need a picture,” I said.

“Not a problem,” Twilight said as she levitated a book over to the table. “We have plenty to choose from.”

I opened the book to find that it was a photo album, full of pictures of me, Twilight, and all of our friends. Some of the photos were older, from just after I'd arrived in Equestria, and others were fairly recent, only as old as a few weeks ago. But I knew exactly which photo I wanted to frame.
