Celestia raised a brow.

"Another universe?" She began, "I've heard of some who've been banished before, but I don't think I've ever met anybody..."

I stood up and bowed comedically. "Well, now you have." I exclaimed.

"Wait..." Celestia continued as she leaned closer towards me, "You're that girl that was recently found after being tossed into a different universe by that dark magic guy, aren't you?"

"Yup."

"So, you're name's not actually Gadget then."

"Yup."

"Isn't it Chloe? Um... Gl--"

"Zoey." I stated flatly, the name still sounding weird in my mouth, "Zoey Wayve, daughter of the currently-imprisoned Michael Rowe Wayve."

"..."

Celestia broke out in laughter shortly after my dad's name processed in her mind.

"YOUR FATHER..." she howled, "IS MICROWAVE?! HA!"

I shrugged. "Hey, it's not like he's really anything more than the guy who gave me my genes and then kicked me out of existence."

"Fair enough," Celestia said, recomposing herself, "So... what's it like over there?"

"Over where?" I asked in return.

Celestia made a motion with her hooves. "Y'know," she began, "the other place... the place you've been living in before you came back?"

Ohhhhhhh. She's talking about Earth.

"Well, first of all," I started, "Humans are practically the only sapient beings, outside of some extremely complicated artificial intelligence programs."

Celestia nodded, pulling out a notepad I can only assume was meant for taking notes during the supposed interrogation earlier.

"Continue?"

"Apparently, upon arriving on Earth, I was turned into a unicorn filly with a yellowish-blonde mane and blue fur."

Pausing, Celestia looked up to face me. "And what's Earth?" she asked curiously.

Whoops. Forgot about that.

"Um..." I continued, "So, Earth is a rocky planet in the third position away from our sun, comprising mostly of silicate compounds and an Iron-Nickel core, with an atmosph--"

"No, no..." Celestia pouted, "I mean, what's it like?"

...

oh.

"For starters," I began, "Since humans aren't exactly... um, magical creatures, there's a lot more technology to go around, and most of the population these days are settled in massive cities along rivers and shorelines."

I stopped talking for a bit to let Celestia write it down. No doubt that it's gonna be for reference later if she wants to trade anything. For a few moments, all I could hear was the scribbling of pen on paper. And a few times where the aforementioned paper was torn on accident when Celestia forgot that she wasn't using a pencil and tried to erase the pen mark using the nonexistant eraser on the back of the thing, and--

"Ahem?"

...

"Oh." I said, snapping back to reality, "Uh, what did you just say?"

Celestia paused for a moment. "I-I was asking about your experience as a pony there, since you would kinda be the only one able to use magic?"

I shrugged. "Well, I know that it definitely caught the attention of Delmar back there. He kinda... tased me and took me into his lab early on. Though, to be fair, I think I remember that I might've been a bit of a jerk to him to warrant that.

"So..." Celestia began, "Basically?"

"I've pretty much been living in a scientific laboratory for almost my entire life."

"Oh." Celestia replied flatly. "Okay then."

More scribbling on the notepad.

Finally, Celestia stood up and motioned for the door. Though, I noticed that she followed me through.

"Anything else?" I began, looking over my shoulder.

Celestia's eyes darted around the room for a moment, before setting back on me. "Do you think you could show me what Earth's like?" she whispered, "You said that there's a lot of technology, and honestly, I think that that may be one of the things that Equestria's a bit lacking in at the moment."

...

Welp. That definitely just reminded me that I was supposed to be doing trade talks instead of a lecture about my life on Earth. Either way, I guess it's a win-win for now?
