"... and yeah, that was my day so far." You bring the little teacup to your lips, sipping in what tastes like pomegranate tea ground together with a hint of mint. It was something else, made by the female horse sitting across from you; Roseluck, your best friend in all of horse land.

"Sheesh, sounds to me like your luck's run out pal. All of those years, tormenting half of Yakyakistan's children calling yourself the Krampus or something. Finally catching up with you, eh?" She lights up her horn with a dainty little smile on her face. We agreed to never bring that up again!

"Hey! It was one month, not years. Don't put words in my mouth. And no, my luck has not run out. For your information, I found out today that I have a way home if I want to go." You set your teacup down on the table, crossing your arms and turn away from the horse. A 'harumph' leaves you as you snootily look up.

When you don't hear any reply come from her, you open an eye and look her way. A sad glint lays in her eyes. "You're not going to though, right?" Her question was quiet, but you heard it. You give a fake considering look for several seconds, Roseluck's lip slowly begins to tremble, before you let loose a loud-

"Oh HELL no! The cost of that trip is probably going to get me sent to jail as soon as I get back. What do you take me for? Besides, no way am I leaving my B.H.H.F.I.A.O.E. behind!" You carelessly toss the table aside and hug the mare, a light 'squee' comes from her.

"We really need to work on that acronym, Anon. 'Best Horse/Human Friends in All of Equestria' is way too long." She says in the embrace. You only give a hum in response as you put her down. A roll from her eyes signals you to speak.

"Nah, I like it. Unique, y'know? Anyway, you were saying you needed some more flowers from the Everfree right? Before this whole conversation started?"

"Yeah, I'd appreciate it a lot! And I'll pay you!"

"Pfft, come on, Rose. I've told you before, ain't gonna take pay from you. 'Sides, gotta stop by Flutterbutter's anyway. She was gonna ask some fish to jump into my oven for me."
