Before Equestria

Tails of New

"Come over here," Twilight called. "I think I found some!"

It was a bright, sunny day outside of the boundaries of Equestria. Twilight and her friend were enjoying the company of each other in the pleasant scene of a beautiful, quiet forest.

"Ah'm here," answered Applejack, cantering over to Twilight with a small cart behind her.

"I think I found them!" exclaimed Twilight, pointing to bones next to a small, rock house.

"That looks like 'em," agreed Applejack, examining the bleached sticks. "Weird creatures, whatever they were."

Twilight frowned. "Don't they look... strange to you?"

"Yeah," said Applejack. "Their heads are huge!"

"No, no, not that," Twilight said, pointing to their limbs. "It looks like they were... hugging each other or something before they died."

Applejack tilted her head, looking at the dead animal's remains at a new angle. "I guess so," she agreed. "Do ya think they understood friendship?"

Twilight pondered the matter. "I'm sure they did. This is a land that thrives off of friendship, after all."

She levitated the new found specie's remains, breaking the friends' final hug.

"We'll ask the Princess, she'll know what so say."

They turned and walked away, leaving the strange stone house behind them.
