	Lewis was devastated that there was no way to contact Hannah, no way home, and that they were stuck in a word filled with colorful ponies.  Simon was upset as well, but didn't show it.  "I can't believe we get to be ponies for the rest of our lives! Isn't this exciting Lewis?  Lewis?"  He looked to his friend and saw Lewis looking at the ground in despair.  "Come on pal, lets go do something!"  Lewis looked up and saw Simon's overly cheerful face, and that made him crack a smile.  
"Yes, Lets!"  and with that, they were off.  "Um, Simon.  Where exactly are we going?"  Lewis really didn't have any ideas as to what they should do, and he didn't think Simon did either.
Simon stopped and looked off into space, pondering what they should do.  He chose a logical idea, for once.  "If we really are stuck here forever, we're going to need a place to live, and I don't think that the Whooves are going to let us stay with them for forever.  and if we do need to find a house, we're going to need money, assuming that the ponies have currency, and to get money, we're going to need jobs.  So we should get some jobs!  Or atleast find some money."  Simon looked arounf the town, at the different shops.  "There must be somewhere that needs a few new employees."  And with that, he trotted down the street, leaving Lewis standing in the middle of the road.  

Lewis could see a pony trot along, a yellow pegasus mare with a pink mane and tail.  She had a wagon behind her, and a bunny on her back.  She stopped suddenly, unaware that he was looking at her, and reached behind her with her face.  She touched her mouth to her rump, just ahead of the cutie mark, which was three pink butterflies, and suddenly she held a small brown bag in her mouth.  Lewis blinked, and wondered if the bag had been there before.  He walked up to the mare and decided to ask her how she had done it.  "Excuse me, Miss?" He asked quietly and clearly.
"EEEEEEEEKK!!!" the mare screamed quietly, and rocketed into the air, taking the wagon with her, and hid in a tree.  But the wagon's weight proved too much, and she fell from her hiding spot.  Lewis raced over to see if she was alright, but found her covering her face with her hooves, trying to... hide from him?  
"Miss, are you alright?  I just wanted to ask you something."  Lewis looked at the shy mare, wondering what was wrong with her.
"Oh...  It's just that... you, um... scared me..."  The mare whispered.  She stood up and straightened her mane.  "I'm Fluttershy.  What was it you'd like to ask?"  She looked at the strange unicorn stallion.  She didn't think she had ever seen him before.
"I'm Lewis.  I was just wondering how you got that bag?  You reached behind you and suddenly it was in your mouth.  I was just wondering how you did it."  Lewis stared at her flank, wanting to know her secrets.
Fluttershy looked to her flank and put her mouth to it.  She pulled it back and suddenly grasped a notebook between her teeth.  She spat the notebook onto the ground and looked back to Lewis.  "Pockets."
Lewis looked astounded.  "Thank you so much, Miss Fluttershy!" And with that, Lewis abruptly put his head to his flank and withdrew a pen.  His eyes widened and he stared at Fluttershy.  She tried to look surprised so he wouldn't be embarrassed.  "Thank you!" He shouted, then ran off in a different direction in search of Simon.
Simon was trotting along the main street when he was suddenly bowled over by a crimson blur.  "SIMON!" it shrieked, "CHECK YOUR POCKETS!!!"

"Pockets?  What the buck is wrong with you, Lewis?"  Why the buck would ponies even have pockets, Simon wondered.  Lewis reached behind him and suddenly withdrew a 10 pence piece.  Simon's small green eyes widened.  "How did you even do that?"  Simon tried it as well and clutched a jaffa cake in his mouth.  His already wide eyes expanded once more as he viewed the probably last jaffa cake he would ever see, and tears developed as he held it in his hooves.  Lewis looked at it and then looked to Simon.  Simon fell down onto his rump and stared at the jaffa cake.  He broke it in half and passed the other (Smaller) half to Lewis.
"Simon..."  Lewis was touched by his friend sharing his last jaffa cake, the very cake that seemed to be his special talent.  He sobered quickly and raised his hoof.  "To Jaffas!"
Simon wiped a tear from his eye and cheered.  "To jaffas..."  They promptly devoured the delicious sponge, the smashing orangy bit, and the decadent chocolate.

An hour later, the two ponies were sitting on a patch of grass, surrounded by mundane objects.  Pens, coins, paper, gum, lint etc.  All of the objects were just meaningless things they had in their pockets when they changed.  They took turns pulling thing from their endles magical pockets.  Simon would pull out a paper with a server ip address on it, and Lewis would pull out a reciept from Greg's.  Simon withdrew a nub of a pencil, and Lewis reached back and cluutched a small, velvet box in his mouth.  He dropped it on the ground and stared at it, shocked that it was in his pocket this whole time.  Simon grabbed the box with his hooves, and opened it.  To his shock, within the dainty box was a ring.  A white gold ring encrusted with tiny diamonds in the shape of the pixelated diamond they knew so well.  A minecraft themed engagement ring.  "Lewis..."  Simon breathed.  "It's... beautiful.  This... this was for Hannah!"  He looked up at Lewis, who was beginning to tear up at the sight of the ring he was going to give his soon to be fiancee...  Lewis blinked back the stinging moisture, but the tears still rolled down his face.  He broke down and wept, and Simon patted him on the back, occasionally whispering encouraging words to his broken hearted friend.  "Its going to be alright Lewis, it's going to be fine..."  Simon didn't really believe the words he was saying, and neither did Lewis.  It certainly was not going to be alright.
