Well, that went by fast. Twilight asked me some questions about where I'm from and how I got here, and I answered as good as I could have answered. I had to use some miming, though, because I can't talk well.

"Okay, so you're saying you're from a place called Dream Land, which is on the planet Pop Star, and you got here after one of your friends said some strange words in an attempt to take down this robed figure named Hyness? And you don't know what happened to your other friends?"

I nodded.

Twilight walked away with Spike and talked to him so quietly that I couldn't hear, then she turned back to me. "Okay, Kirby. We're done for now."

That's it? All Twilight did was ask me some questions? She never just does that! She should be in a severe state of Twilighting! Unless... oh, I see!



I went on my way and gave myself a self-guided tour of Ponyville. My first stop: Sugarcube Corner! It seemed to be really busy, meaning that Pinkie Pie was probably throwing a party. I peeked through the window and saw... "Gim?"

Gim saw me and froze. "It isn't what it looks like, yo! I came by this place, thinking you'd be there, and Pinkie was preparing a crash-into-Ponyville party for you. I told her my dilemma, and she chose to throw a crash-into-Cutie-Mark-Crusaders-Clubhouse party for me."

But I  wasn't mad. Instead, I smiled. I was so happy that Pinkie Pie was throwing a party for one of my friends! I went inside and high-fived Gim. "Poyo!" I beamed.

"Thanks, bro-yo! Want to party with me? Pinkie's quite the party planner!"

Pinkie appeared out of nowhere. "I sure am! Thanks for noticing, Gim!"

I was about to accept Gim's offer, but my stomach growled. 

Gim replied, "I understand, bro-yo. Another time then."

With a sheepish grin, I left for a bite to eat. While cake sounded really good, I wondered what the apples from Sweet Apple Acres tasted like.

Before I got too far, though, Gim rushed to my side. "I almost forgot! I just came from Sweet Apple Acres, so I can take you there.

I shook my head. I wanted Gim to continue having fun with Pinkie Pie, and besides, I already kind of knew where Sweet Apple Acres was. I'm a pony fide (bona fide) My Little Pony fan, especially of Pinkie, so I know the basic layout of Ponyville and other places.

After getting some exercise, I finally reached the iconic farm where Applejack was working. "Oh, howdy, Kirby! Ah'm guessin' you're here for a bite to eat?"

My stomach growled again, louder this time.

"Then you've come to the right place! Sweet Apple Acres produces the best apples you done ever tasted! You can pick from any of these fine trees. Go ahead, don't be shy."

I looked around before deciding on the tree closest to me. I spun around and kicked it hard, causing some apples to fall down. The next thing I did caused AJ's jaw to drop: I opened my mouth super big before sucking all the apples in.  Beat that, mare with an appetite of a full-grown stallion! Then I heard a nearby bush rustle. Probably Twilight fainting.

AJ ran over to the bush, confirming my guess. "Twilight, are you okay?"

If Twilight fainted from just my inhaling, then Celestia knows how long she'll be out after I float or, better yet, show off my Copy Ability!
