We had arived in Canterlot at sunset and many of the ponies were suprised to see me. After all, they didn't live near humans and I'm certian that they thought I looked wierd. Rainbow and I would have gotten on the next train immedietly but it was down do to engine troubles. Since I knew we would be in Canterlot for a while we went to the nearest inn and got a room to stay in. Again I was embaressed that Rainbow had to pay for me.

"Thanks for paying for me again," I said as we entered our room.

"No problem. Besides you're helping me find my dad."

"About that. Why didn't you go searching earlier for him?"

I just said it. I quickly thought about it. Why did I ask? Why did I bring up that she did nothing? Mabye she did and couldn't find him. I am so stupid!

"It's...it's because...because I couldn't. The princess wouldn't let me and used her magic to stop me. I was able to come with you because her magic has no effect on humans or anypony around them if they don't want it to."

"Oh."

I was amazed by this new information. Humans could resist the magic of Princess Celestia. This was amazing.

"By the way," my mind jumped from one thought to another as it often does" how much money do we have left?"

"Enough for one more train ride."

Then my stomach grumbled at just the wrong time. Rainbow's did too. We both started laughing at the irony of the situation. Then we stopped, looked at each other as we realized we had no food and for some reason we laughed more. The next day it wasn't very funny as we were even hungrier than before and the train wouldn't be fixed until tonight. Unfortunately that meant we would have no place to spend the day at since we ran out of money for the inn. Our day was rough as we spent most of it walking around the town and see what the locals were doing. There was a fashion show but neither of us even wanted to attend. There was a grand opening of a resturaunt but we had no money we could use so we didn't bother with it. Then we hit a bit of luck as we found some money on the ground which we could use to buy a little bit of food, for one of us that is. Naturally we both felt obligated to let the other eat since Rainbow paid for me and I was helping her find her dad. We eventually decided to split the food we got but this was a bad idea. The food we got was so little that after we ate we were even hungrier than before. We had found out that Brian was going to a far off town called Honeyville and at last we got on the train. It was like the last ride but much longer. Again I was asked a question by Rainbow but this time it was about me.

"Hey I didn't catch your name before. What is it."

"Oh...uh," I had a bit of a block in my mind,"Levi."

"Human names aren't very descriptive."

"You've got that right."

I let out a little chuckle. We had finally reached Honeyville though we couldn't tell we were there due to, well the fact that there wasn't a town or even any buildings. It seemed that everypony there thought they were in a town called Honeyville. Could we just not see the town. Or were they just seeing the town.
