//------------------------------// // Showing Evening the place // Story: Cracked Horn and Ribbons: The story of Evening Dream // by guard1ans //------------------------------// "Miss Forest I'm really not comfortable with this idea of a...party." Evening said as Black Forest led her up the back staircase to the baker's spare room. "A birthday is an event worth celebrating." "But its....Its just I don't know you that well and-" "And I'm giving you an opportunity to mutually get to know each other better. You wanted to be more outgoing right? Strangers are just the friends you haven't met yet." "Friends I haven't met yet?" "Yes. Everyone can be friends if you try. Here's your room for the weekend. Its all clean and fresh sheets and everything." Evening took a look past the door. It wasn't anything fancy like marble or a four poster bed. It was like what she had back in Ponyville. Wood panel floor, plain walls, and a nice bed. A nice, fluffy bed. "Looks Great Miss Forest, but I'm still worried about this party." "Leave everything to me and rarity." "but you don't know what I like." "Well do you?" "Um...not really." "Well. How about..." Black forest looked at the clock. "In an hour, I'll have my employees run the place and we'll find Rarity and get you into some shops." "Shops?" "Yes dear shops. You know the places where you buy stuff. I know my sister told me you were a shut in, but you gotta at least know what shops do." "I Do! I just...don't go very often." "Good. By the elements of harmony, maybe with that unicorns connections, the princesses might come to the party." "What?! The-The princesses! You mean like Luna?" Black forest grinned. "Yes, like Luna. I ain't promising anything but...I bet if your good..." She gave the unicorn a playful nudge. "Its nothing like that!" Evening dream shouted. "I just....really would like to meet her and thank her for...the good dreams...their the reason for my career." "That explains the cutiemark." Evenings dream's mark was that of a crescent moon and in the foreground a open book. "Yeah. I've been wanting to write a letter to her...but I've-" "Never had the courage?" "Yeah. The princess is so busy but....Its one of my goals on this trip." "Well I'll see what I can do." The earth pony winked and shut the door behind her.
