Blitzen quickly folded his letter up and wrote the address to go mail it out after breakfast, which was pancakes and lots of sweet syrup! Blitzen sat with Pinkie, and pulled out some preserved cheese and still cool butter, and spread that on his food. Pinkie was curious as to what kind of butter Blitzen was eating and grabbed some, and loved the taste some much, she started to spread it on her food as well.
She was coming back from putting those foods the Kirin had, when Rarity and Sweetie came in. They sat with Pinkie and talked a bit while they were eating. Rarity had seen the colt pull out the butter from his pack, and was curious what it was. "Darling, I could not help but notice, what is it you put on your pancakes?"
"It's tasty Rarity! Try it!" Pinkie said, and the nervous Unicorn tried a fork full, and liked the taste, as well. She had just passed some to her sister, when Blitzen answered her after swallowing.
"Sorry Miss Rarity, this is special Kirin butter! The other thing was Kirin Cheese, but it is more of a snack or something to eat with lunch! My Sister makes some from her milk every month she happens to lactate. It is certainly a very special treat..." Then Blitzen saw Rarity turn a sickly coat of green and smacked the fork away from Sweetie Belle.
"Darling, I must have misheard you, you surely don't mean it is made from her milk, by her teats? RIGHT?!?" Rarity looked panicked, and Sweetie Belle suddenly realized why Rarity looked so shocked. After all, she knew foals were the one to drink milk from there.
"Well, yes, but you all eat milk and cheese from cows, how is that any different?" Blitzen said, and saw a fully sick Rarity quickly excuse herself and rush towards the washroom. Sweetie Belle looked at her Kirin friend and whispered how it was seen outside of Hope's Asylum.
"What? Well, ok, well, I guess I shan't share that anymore, although it is very good! Are you sure you won't try some Miss Belle?" the Kirin asked.
"Yeah! I am eating it and I'll ask Mr. and Mrs. Cake if I can use some for some special 'Kirin cupcakes' today! It's very sweet!" Pinkie said excitedly.
Sweetie found it very strange, but she tried some, and just like Pinkie said, it was very sweet, but she couldn't help but feel weird it came from her friend's, sister's....eww! "Its ok, I don't mind if you two eat it." she said diplomatically to her sweet and innocent colt friend.
"Hmm, next you'll be telling me that you all don't eat pig bacon and ham meat!" Blitzy said, but even Pinkie Pie looked at the Kirin colt as if he had sprouted four heads.
"YOU MEAN, YOU EAT PIGS!?!" She said allowed, causing everypony in the shop to stare in the direction of the party mare. "I MEAN, YOU BEAT WIGS, Hehehe! Sorry everypony!" she said, trying to protect her friend, while poor Sweetie had tears in her eyes.
She had remembered taking care of both Applejack's and Apple Bloom's pigs before, and while they were dirty critters, she thought they were kind of cute. 'How could he eat them?' she thought to herself. "Please Blitzy, ENOUGH! Promise me, while you are here, you won't eat meat, ok? It's just...WRONG!" she said, and left with her sister, who had just exited the washroom looking very pale.
===========================================================================
Pinkie hugged him close and explained to him how Ponies here did not eat animals. Eggs and milk were ok, but meat was seen as a taboo. The little Kirin understood why his friends were so offended and started to tear up again, but Pinkie shook her head, and motioned him to smile! He did so, and knew he had to go apologize to his Sweetie as soon as possible. As he cleared up his table he notice two fancy looking Earth Pony fillies were talk about Sweetie, and he thought it would be a great way to meet children his age!
"Excuse me, my dear fillies. But were thine two just...ahem! Were you two just talking about Miss Belle a little while ago? I am Blitzen, the Kirin from..." he was interrupted by the pink filly.
"What do you want blank-flank? What the hay is a Kirin anyway? A fancy way of saying a rude FREAK!" she giggled, and the silver one joined in as well.
"Yeah, what are you suppose to be anyway?" she said with a level of rudeness that made him sad, but he held his composure.
"Well, my most lovely Earth Ponies, I am a Pony-Dragon Hybrid! My mother was a beautiful Dragoness and my Father was a brave Unicorn Royal Guard of Celestia, herself! It is ok. Children of Canterlot seemed to have forgotten us. But, I must also correct you, as I do have mine Cutie Mark. It is here, let me show you!" he said, and turned his hooves at an angle.
Blitzen wore very special pony shoes that were half rubber insulation, and half-grounding material. He did so as to both not discharge his electric build up in buildings, as well as ground himself outside when he had too much in his fur. He shook his mane, and soon, the building of Sugarcube Corner flashed several times, and his white fur glowing brightly! The Blue Mark, consisting of three lightning bolts showed up underneath the fur that stood up. He looked back at the scared, but fascinated fillies, and others around him
"Hello everypony! I am Blitzen the Kirin! I am most honored being here! My mark represents my talent: Creating and controlling lightning, and some electricity currents! Please, if I may, I need to ground myself. Whatever you do, please don't touch my fur. I would hate to harm anypony!" He stated, and exited the building touched a rock outside with his metal shoes, and the glow went away, and the fur slowly returned to its normal white fur color, and his scales darkened. The ponies inside, especially the Cakes were silent. Silver Spoon, the filly who had made fun of him earlier, clopped her hooves, and others joined in, even Diamond Tiara.
Pinkie Pie came out, and asked what she missed, and everypony laughed, and resumed their orders, and some to their breakfasts. Blitzen walked up to the two fillies, and looked towards them. "It is always an honor meeting more of Miss Belle's friends. What are your names?" He asked, and kissed each of them on their left hoof. Silver Spoon blushed, but said her name in a whisper, while Diamond Tiara just stared at him.
"Wait! We aren't friends with that blank-flank!" she suddenly said, and humph her head away. Blitzen looked sad, but opened his pack and gave Diamond Tiara a Dragon sob, and another to Silver Spoon.
"I apologize then. I am her, well, I hope to be her special somepony one day. I don't know if you and her are upset at one another, but please take those. These are my sobs. The dragon within me makes these whenever I cry over something. They are said to be of value in Canterlot, as Dragons normally stay away from Ponies here. I am sorry to have bugged you Miss pink crown, but it was a please to meet you Silver Spoon!" he said, and was soon approached by a very excited Pegasus colt, and two other Unicorn colts as well.
"Wow, you control Lightning! My brother works for the weather service here in Ponyville, but I never knew Unicorns could control that! I am Rumble! These two are Snips and Snails!" the white Pegasus said. Blitzen was very happy to shake their hooves, but back at the table of the two fillies, Silver Spoon was looking over her recently gifted sob, as he called it.
"Diamond Tiara! I think...I think these are real! We GOT to check these out! They might be worth something nice, but I think...I may keep mine." She said, looking at the mysterious Unicorn walk with those other colts. Diamond Tiara was livid at the fact a new pony had come, and worst of all, was friends with one of the blank-flanks!
"Sure, ok. Maybe we can get a new dress with this cheap thing. I'll ask Daddy if he knows anything about these, and if he does, I might consider making that colt cry some more!" In her mind, Diamond Tiara set out a plan. If the sobs were worth a lot, she would try and get the Kirin to cry a little more, and get her daddy to buy her some more things and get some bits from her trouble! If not, she would at least make that annoying blank-flanks crush cry, and use it against her in class.
She and her friend set off, but Silver Spoon looked at her sob and held it a little longer before catching up to her friend. "He's such a nice young colt!" she said in a low tone.
Snips and Snails seemed to be a bit goofy for the Kirin Unicorn, but he actually was very impressed with Snails knowledge of snails, and Snips general knowledge of all things that involved planning, and his membership in the Rainbow Dash fan club. He was going to ask him how to become a member, when Blitzen witnessed a strange young colt with a camera flying above. Rumble called out to him, and he then got to meet another colt, Featherweight!
"Hello! I am so very glad to meet you all...but I was wondering, would you all like to see something cool? I brought my pet from Hope's Asylum...where I come from, and I think you might like some pictures of it, Featherweight!" he said excitedly. The others looked at him, wondering what kind of pet could be so exciting to him, but he insisted they come, and he trotted excitedly toward Fluttershy's cottage.
He knocked on the door, and greeted the shy Pegasus and tried to introduce her to his newest acquaintances, but she shied away. He then asked her if he could feed the animals lunch, and she let him. The others were growing bored, when the Kirin made a very odd roaring sound after he was done feeding.
"Um, are you ok, Blitzen? Why are you roaring like a crazy pony!" Rumble said, and Snips and Snails chuckled at him. He looked towards them and motioned for them to get closer for something, but Snails was not paying attention. Suddenly, over the hill, Manny approached them, and all the colts were either scared still, or in the case of poor Snails, fainted right then and there! Blitzen hopped towards the Manticore, and Featherweight snapped pictures up like a machine.
He was hoping he wouldn't have to show others a picture of a mauled colt to prove he where he was that day, but something amazing happened! The Kirin was playing with the beast! Rumble snapped out of it, and asked if he could join in, and Blitzen slowly introduced each pony to the white Manticore. Featherweight insisted he was only going to take pictures, and kept his distance, the creature growling when he felt he got too close. All the colts were very happy, but Miss Rarity soon came and called the colt over, as he forgot he had a punishment to take care of!
He said his goodbyes to all his new colt buddies, and asked them to come by another time to play. "I would love to stay, but I have to be punished for my dishonor of Miss Rarity. I am so happy to have met you all!" he said, but a curious Snails asked why he was being punished. The others waited for him to answer, and he casually answered the slower Unicorn's request. "Well, I may have been kissing Miss Belle, in front of her sister, in Miss Shy's cottage. I was out-of-line, but I'll see you all soon!" He said as he left with Miss Rarity who was taking Miss Shy to their spa date.
The colts stood around, absorbing what was just said. "Wait, Snails, did he just say he was...kissing a filly?!? This dude is soo AWESOME!" Snips said excitedly! Rumble was a little jealous of his new friend, but made a mental note to ask him about his own secret crush on a certain Earth Pony filly. Featherweight was writing the information down, but thought twice about reporting it. "The pictures are enough..." he said to himself.
=============================================================================
Elsewhere, a pair of fillies heard about the approximate worth of the gift they were given "IT'S WORTH WHAT!!!" the pink filly said. Her father was just as surprised, but remained calm. "About 200 to 300 bits each, my dear. They don't have much value in terms of beauty, as it would be very hard to form into specific cuts, so they do need to be cleaned and set, but yes, about that price. I must say, if this young colt doesn't want his sobs so badly, ask him to speak to me, and we can arrange a very healthy, mutual business agreement!" Filthy Rich said.
Contrary to what some would say, Mr. Rich wasn't greedy like his daughter, but always looked out for a new business ventures. He also knew, with a good partner in Canterlot, that this would become a popular trend, if he played his cards right. He had first heard of these strange jewels from Miss Rarity, who used them as mere accessories, but was shocked to realize there was a small, but demanding, market for them. He had hoped the one responsible for making these would be older though, as being a child, he couldn't in his right mind make a contract with him. Perhaps he has a Guardian I could ask. he thought.
Diamond Tiara now pictured the poor colt as nothing more than a minting machine, making her hundreds of bits per sob he cried. Silver Spoon refused to hand her stone to Filthy Rich, but he respected his daughter's friend's decision. As he said, "He must really want to be friends with you, Diamond if he gave them so willingly!" Silver treasured hers, while not as pretty as Diamond's was, she knew he gave it to her just by listening to his name. Diamond tried to snap her friend out of her thoughts, and focus on her plan.
"There are a lot of ways to make a colt cry, one is hurting him, and the other is embarrassing him in front of others, but I think we should hit him where he is most weak! His precious Sweetie Belle!" she said with much disdain in in her tone. Silver ignored her, as she went home for the day, and Tiara planned something. "Of course, if that doesn't work, I could always insult his dragon mommy! I bet he would cry like a little baby, Silver... hey, where did you go???"
