Well my name is Twilight Sparkle and these are my best friends. Girls introduce yourselves. Twilight told them turning around. Then Applejack stepped forward and held out her hoof to shake Marrionettes. "Nice meetin ya Marrionette my names Applejack and I run an apple orchard here in ponyville." She stated proudly lifting her head. "Nice to meet you Applejack I hope we can be the best of friends." The Marrionette said shaking her hoof with is three digit hand. Applejack backed up as Rainbow stepped forward. Flying to look him straight in the eye. "The names Rainbow Dash. Fastest flyer in all of equestria and weathermare to ponyvilles weather team." She stated in a tomboyish voice. "Pleasure to meet you." Marrionette said holding out his hand to shake her hoof which she hesitantly took. Backing up Rarity took the spotlight(That was a joke) and stood before the Marrionette holding her hoof out to shake his hand. "My name is Rarity a clothes designer and ponyvilles fashionista. Pleasure to meet you." She told him with a friendly smile and a voice that makes her sound like she belongs to royalty. "The pleasure is all mine." He told her shaking her hoof. As she stepped back Fluttershy stepped forward her face covered by her mane and looking at the ground. "H-hi m-m-my n-name i-i-i-is F-f-fluttershy." She told him still looking at the ground too shy to face him. "Nice meeting you Fluttershy." He told her as she started backing Pinkie Pie jumped forward jumping still while talking to the Marrionette at incredible speeds. "HimynameisPinkiePienicetomeetyouareyounewintowndon'tthinkI'veseenyoubeforeit'sgreattoseenewfacesaroundandifyoulikeitIcangiveatourofouramazingtownandIdidn'taskyouifyoulikeparties. Welldoyouhuhuhuh?!?" She said to him in just in just one breath. "A....party. I haven't hosted one in along time. Sure I love parties I was made to make kids happy by giving them these toys and a music box like mine." He told them which received curious stares from them. Twilight then stepped forward. "What do you mean you were made to entertain kids?" Twilight asked him speaking everyones thoughts on what he just told him. "This will take awhile we may need to go somewhere more comfortable for an explanation." Notioning to the fact that they were standing outside. "Alright follow us you can explain it to us when we get to the crystal library." She told him in which he tilted his head to the side. "Crystal..... Library?" He asked unsure if he heard right. In response Twilight just pointed her hoof down to the end of the road to a crystal tree with a sign in front that said 'Crystal Library'. Marrionette only had one word to say."Touche."
