“...Go antiquing,” I decided.

“Great!” Twilight exclaimed as she started heading for the door. “I’ll go get my bags and meet you at the front door in five minutes.”

“Okay,” I replied as Twilight left, wondering why she needed to get bags to go antiquing.

Five minutes later Twilight met me at the front door like she said, a couple of saddle bags at her sides.

“Ready?” she excitedly asked me.

“Ready,” I answered, though not as excitedly.

“Then let’s go!” Twilight exclaimed as she opened the door and left the castle, almost as if she were going off on some great quest.

I followed close behind my marefriend as she lead the way to the antique store. The first part of the walk was fairly quiet, which I didn’t like. We were supposed to be catching up, and we weren’t going to do that by being silent.

“So why do you have so many bags to go antiquing, Twi?” I inquired, desperate for conversation.

“Oh, well one bag is for my bits and the other is for all the antiques,” Twilight explained.

A few concerns crossed my mind after hearing Twilight’s explanation.

“Um, how many bits did you bring?” I asked, worried that Twilight might be overdoing things a little.

“Don’t worry, not too many,” she told me, sensing my concern. “Just enough for one or two items. Although, I probably didn’t need to bring the second bag with me since you’re here.”

“So I’m your luggage monkey then?” I playfully asked her.

“No, no, no, nothing like that!” Twilight frantically clarified, not picking up on the playfulness of my remark. “It’s just that I usually do this alone so I need the other bag to carry things and…”

“Relax, Twi,” I gently interrupted. “I was joking.”

“Oh,” Twilight embarrassingly stated just as we arrived at the antique store. “Hehe, let’s go inside.”

We both stepped through the front doors and I was immediately aghast by the size of the store and the number of antiques within.

“So, where should we start?” Twilight asked me.

Frankly, I didn’t know why Twilight was asking me that, since she’d been here before and I hadn’t. I looked to my left and saw a section full of various kinds of jewelry. To my right I noticed a variety of picture frames standing on tables and hanging on the wall.
