Twilight questioned Ray for about another hour before Ray’s stomach interrupted. Ray’s stomach was asking for food very loudly.
“Heh, sorry. I haven't eaten in…… a while.” Ray said.
“Oh, how insensitive of me. Would you like something to eat, Ray?” Twilight asked with a twinge of regret for not previously asking.
“Yeah that, would be awesome!” Ray answered.
“Follow me, I’ll have Spike make us all lunch.” Twilight said taking the lead.
“Is he gonna wear that pink apron again?” Ray said giggling like a schoolgirl.
“Probab….. how did you know he wears a pink apron?” Twilight asked with suspicion.
Ray had to think fast. He was pretty sure she would not believe the real reason. Um, let’s see….
“Uh…. Rumours that the savior of the Crystal Empire wears a pink apron.” Ray said quickly.
“Oh, I’ll have to see that those are stopped.” Twilight said in a slight tone of anger.
Ray mentally sighed. Good thing he was as smart as he was funny. They were soon downstairs and Twilight called for Spike.
“SPIIIIIIIIKE?!” Twilight called.
Spike immediately ran into the room they were in. He had not seen Ray yet so he was perplexed.
“Hey Twi, who’s the stallion? Did you finally get a coltfriend?” Spike asked.
Twilight cheeks lit up like a Hearth’s Warming tree. Ray on the other hand was laughing his flank off. Twilight turned and gave Ray the death stare. However Ray had one last thing to say.
“Well, she did kiss me in her bedroom.” Ray said barely holding in laughter.
Twilight lit up even more. Ray didn’t know that anyone could blush that much. Ray then
continued to laugh.
“Alright alright. I’m joking we're not dating.” Ray said.
“Thank you, Ray.” Twilight said with a tone of malice.
“Spike, could you make us lunch?” Twilight asked.
“Sure, what do you two want?” Spike asked.
“I’ll have a hay sandwich. Ray?” Twilight asked.
“Do you have any Carl’s Jr.?” Ray asked hopefully.
“What?” Spike replied.
“Fine, what she’s having.” Ray replied, miffed.
“Alright, be right back.” Spike replied.
Twilight then led Ray to the table so they could sit. Ray was still adjusting a bit to the new pony body. He managed to make it work however. On the outside he looked calm and collected, though inside he was freaking out.
“Here you go.” Spike said giving them their food.
“Thanks Spike.” They said in union.
“All together now.” Ray said jokingly.
They all shared a good laugh. Spike then said his goodbyes and went to Rarity’s. Twilight was
about to eat when she remembered something.
“Oh hey, I’ll be right back.” Twilight said setting down her sandwich.
“Kay.” Ray said while engulfing his.
Ray had finished long before Twilight came back. But he was still hungry. Ray looked at Twilight’s sandwich. Her beautiful, delicious sandwich. Ray reached for the sandwich and began to eat. He was finishing the last bite when Twilight came back.
“Okay, I’m back and boy, am I…” Twilight started.
Then she saw the lack of sandwich. Her face twisted into a scowl.
“Ray, you stole my sandwich!” Twilight yelled.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Ray said, much like he had when he had stolen Geoff’s iron.
“You are so immature.” Twilight said, making herself another.
“Love you too.” Ray said in a sarcastic tone.
After Twilight had finished her sandwich, Ray asked her a question.
“So, what did you need to do anyway?” Ray asked, tilting his head.
“I was getting the stuff I found you with.” Twilight responded, floating over the items in a bag.
Ray looked inside. There was a fake mustache, a second poncho identical to the one he was wearing and the Puerto Rican flag.
“Oh yeah.” Ray said taking out the flag.
“What is that?” Twilight asked.
“This is the flag of my people!” Ray said unfolding the flag.
Twilight looked at it and shrugged. Ray then packed it back and set the bag down.
“So, what now?” Ray asked.
“Well, I suppose we should go see Princess Celestia.” Twilight suggested.
“Oh oh oh.” Ray said holding up his hoof like he was in class.
Twilight sighed.
“Yes?” Twilight asked in a tone of annoyance.
“Can I meet the other element holders?” Ray pleaded.
“I guess, come on let’s go.” Twilight said.
“Yolo.” Ray said following.
They decided the first stop would be Rarity. Even though never really liked her, he still wanted to meet her. He was very excited to later meet Applejack. He really wanted to meet the best pony. They soon arrived and Twilight knocked. Rarity came to answer the door.
“Oh hello, Twilight, and who do we have here?” Rarity asked.
“I am Ray, Miss Rarity.” Ray said deciding to schmooze her.
“What a gentlecolt you are.” Rarity said.
“Not really.” Twilight said under her breath.
“Well come on in darlings.” Rarity said escorting the duo in.
They walked in the shop. To Ray, it seemed much bigger in person or er… pony.
“Nice house. Missing a Puerto Rican flag, some Xboxs and televisions, but otherwise it’s good.”
Ray said waltzing on in.
Rarity looked at Twilight but she just shrugged. Ray continued to look around when Rarity asked
Ray about his clothes.
“Ray was it? I must ask about your clothes. They are unique, but I quite like them.” Rarity said walking up to him.
“Oh this? It’s a… poncho I think.” Ray answered.
“Yes, what about the colors? Does this style have a name? I must use it in a new line of outfits.”
Rarity asked.
Ray gained a smile.
“Yes, the style is called Puerto Rican.” Ray said with a devious smirk.
“Brilliant, I hate to ask you to leave but I must start immediately.” Rarity said motioning for the door.
“Of course Rarity, we’ll get out of your hair.” Twilight said nudging Ray along.
“See ya! Ariba!” Ray said running out.
After they were out, Twilight turned to Ray.
“Where do you want to go next?” Twilight asked.
“How about Applejack’s?” Ray said with hope.
“I don’t see why not, let’s go.” Twilight said
“Yeahyeahyeah!” Ray said bouncing along.
