A Box and A Ball

Tea Time

"I don't like your recent message. The flying dog was cute, but you're telling me to celebrate my greatest failure... for my subjects." Princess Celestia said, her mane wasn't flowing ever since the Nightmare Moon battle.

"I'm sorry. What we both see as our failed attempt to save our family has also been seen as a historical victory. Besides you get the good end of the stick, knowing she'll be back in a thousand years. Jake-" I was cut off by her majesty making a clearing her throat.

"He made it clear on many accounts to be named Lego. For his sake, for this year at the moment... Let's just pretend they're asleep and we're just having a chat... As if they can hear us."

"I still can't take his name change seriously! Lego Craft- On second thought I see where he's going with that. Anyway are you sure you want me pretending that. I mean, sure. Juicy fictional gossip. Back on track, one might not ever return from their imprisonment while the other might bring eternal night."

"Well let's change the topic, call me Box from now on."

"It's fine, does it look like I'm normal? Its either Box or Box Hooves. Unless you have a name involving a writing tool that doesn't exist then I'm all ears, but Box seems to fit my odd limbs."

"That makes sense. Anyway, we both probably don't want to be alone so... Can you live in the castle with me? You're the only face here that doesn't age nor die and I could use a friend... If you don't mind."

"Me? In the castle? Well I was planning on moving, anyway. When is a good time?"

"When ever is a good time. I already set up a chambers next to Starswirl's office."

"Speaking of pony Gandalf, has anypony found him yet?"
"Sadly, no. Though we have reasons to believe Discord is involved in his disappearance..."
