Sunset walked down the beautiful halls of Canterlot Castle, admirering the stained glass windows and the stories they told. She was too focused on them to notice another pony walking towards her, also captivated by the bright colours of the windows.
Thud
"Sorry" both ponies said simultaneously.
Sunset did a double take and got a proper look at who she crashed into.
Before her was a light grey pegasus pony, a scruffy mop of sandy blond hair made up her mane, with a tail as equally scruffy swishing lightly from side to side. The other pony's eyes were a shade of gold reminscent of amber or honey, and what was most perculier was the fact that her eyes were (for lack of a better word) derped.
Both pegasi chuckled sheepishly.
"Sorry about that" they said.
"I'm vision impaired" both stated in unision.
The grey pegasus looked at her oddly before speaking.
"How are you-?" she began to ask before Sunset quickly answered by tapping a hoof over her left eye.
"Half blind, you?" Sunset replied.
"Isn't it obvious?" the grey mare replied with a chuckle.
"Right, right, my bad"
"Eh no big deal, I'm Derpy, what's your name?"
"Sunset Sapphire, but I'm thinking of getting my name changed"
"Oh ok. So how'd you end up here?" Derpy asked.
"Well, long story short, got kidnapped by a dragon"
"Wow...that makes my story a little sad in comparison" Derpy laughed.
"it can't be that bad" Sunset replied.
"You weren't the one delivering mail to the royal guards when this place got hijacked...by a dragon" Derpy admitted sheepishly.
"Could be worse" Sunset replied. "So what are you gonna do now?"
Derpy placed a hoof to her chin as she thought about her options.
"Well....I saw a coffee shop down the hall, wanna grab a bite to eat? My treat"
"There's a coffee shop in a castle?" Sunset asked.
Derpy waved a hoof dismissively.
"They hold tour groups once a week, they needed someplace for ponies to get some lunch" the mail mare replied.
"Can't argue with that, are you sure you wanna pay though?"
"Course I will" Derpy replied with a grin.
"Eh ok then, lead the way!" Sunset declared.

Twilight and co looked at the dragon before them, Manaquire had said his piece and now it was time for them to decide. On one hoof, if they declined, then they would be pressed for time as Manaquire created more obstacles for all six of the elements of harmony and their respective beaers.
On the other, there was a chance, not matter how slim, that they might defeat this villian once and for all.
Needless to say, his offer was tempting.
The three shared a look, and Twilight made her decision.
"Ok then, we accpet your challenge" she declared.
Famous Last Words.
