//------------------------------// // B-side // Story: Book 1 - The Behemoth came to Canterlot // by Equimorto //------------------------------// "Do you remember when it happened?" "Like it was yesterday. And not just because we just got a reminder, it's always in my head. Well, not always at the centre, but you know what I mean." "Always a fresh memory, yeah. But you'd be surprised how much that can differ from one pony to another. Memory is a funny thing. You probably remember it all wrong." "No way. That's not the kind of thing you forget." "Like I said, memory is a funny thing. I've talked about it with a few others. Everyone remembers it a bit different." "Are you sure they were sober?" "This place serves more milk than it serves alcohol, and trust me, it doesn't serve that much milk. Anyway. What about you? Were there screams?" "What?" "When the Behemoth came to Canterlot. Were there screams in town?" "Of course there were screams. You did see that thing, right? Do you think ponies were just cool with it walking around, wrecking the place?" "Well, that's funny, you see. I've heard ponies swear it was dead silent when it got here. They say they were too scared to scream." "Well, maybe they were. I'll tell you though, the ponies around me weren't." "And you?" "Me?" "Did you scream too?" "Well I... No, but it's not like that proves anything." "That's also funny. No one remembers screaming. Makes you wonder where all the noise was coming from." "Like you've talked to everyone in this town. A bunch of ponies left the place anyway. Can't say I blame them too much, especially those who got their house destroyed. Place ain't even really the capital anymore, what with Princess Twilight moving to her other castle and whatnot." "Maybe you're right. But you still got to admit, it's pretty funny." "If you say so."
