The Conductor announced as the train left the station "I'm bored... let's explore the train!'

Sweets said leaving their room. She went to the next car over which was the regular passenger car, there were ponies of every shape ,size, and color. She carefully maneuvered her way around the ponies making it to the dinning car she sighed in relief then bumped into a blue mare with a silver mane and tail, she wore a wizard hat and cape "Who dare bump into the Great an Powerful Trixie?" The Mare asked turning around she looked down to see Sweets "Sorry Ms. Trixie, I didn't see you there... I'm just really hungry so I wasn't thinking about my surrounding... my name is Sweets" she said twiddling her hooves nervously "Oh it's alright, Sweets, why don't you join me for lunch?" Trixie suggested with a smile "Okay! eating alone is boring so it's a yes!" Sweets said smiling as they sat at a table "So Trixie, where are you going?" "Oh I'm going to Canterlot, I've got a magic show there next week." Trixie said boasting a little "Oh cool, my sister and I are going to Ponyville." Sweets said taking a bite from pastry "I've been to Ponyville a few times, it's a great town, the ponies there are very nice and friendly, you actually kinda remind me of a pony I met there." Trixie said as she sipped her tea Sweets' ears perked up a little "Really who?" she asked curiously "Her name is Pinkie Pie, she's very enthusiastic and friendly like you." Trixie said eating her sandwich Sweets smiled "I'll have to meet her then. You're fun to chat with, next time you come to Ponyville look me up." she said giggling "I will, oh if I may ask why are you and your going to Ponyville?" "Well... our family died in a fire... so were going to Ponyville to find a new home..." Sweets said sighing Trixie hugged Sweets and pat her back "I'm so sorry for your loss." Sweets smiled again "Thank you Trixie." she said hugging back. "it was great meeting you Trixie, but I should get back to my room or my sister will worry." "Okay Sweets and it was great meeting you too." Trixie said as Sweets started walking back to her. "She was nice." Shy said "I'll say ." a weird voice in her head said "Yep!" Sweets said in agreement with the voices in here head "and you've been quiet Looney." she added walking back into her and Mint Tear's room
