Just outside the door was a girl with blonde hair tied up into a ponytail. She wore brown cowboy boots with apples on them, a white button down shirt, and a cowboy hat.
"Applejack, this is him. He's the one looking for his sword." Twilight said.
Apple Jack handed me a black blade with the same symbol as my armor etched into it.
"Thank you. Where did you find it?" I asked as I slide the blade into the sheath on my back.
"It was lodged into a tree on tha' farm." She said.
"Saw the symbol on the blade an' remembered it was tha' same as tha' one on yer armor." She said.
"Thanks again. Now, we need to get to the train station." I said.
"Agreed." Twilight said.
She pulled out her phone and checked the time.
"We have an hour until the next train." She said.
"That gives us time to get something to eat." I said.
"C'mon, I know a good restaurant." She said as she started to walk off.
I hung back and started talking to Rainbow Dash.
"So, Mrs. Dash, what do you do for fun around here?" I asked.
"Just call me Dash. And if I'm not working, I usually just hang out with my friends or pull pranks on people." She said.
"That sounds awesome. Where do you work?" I asked.
"Well, like most pegasi around Ponyville, I'm on the weather team. But, what I really want to do is become a Wonderbolt. They're like the coolest pegasi in all of Equestria." She replied.
"The Wonderbolts? You mean Spifire, Soarin, and Fleetfoot? Those Wonderbolts?" I asked.
"Yea. You know them?" She replied.
"Kinda. They show up to the yearly meeting of the pegasi council. They seem pretty cool." I said.
"The pegasi council?" She asked.
"It's the meeting that gathers all the most important flying groups from around Equestria. There's the Wonderbolts, the Covert Flyers, the United Alicorn Alliance, and the Royal Guard. We meet to discuss the topics from around Equestria that influence the various kingdoms." I said.
"Which group are you in?" She asked.
"Well, I'm not supposed to talk about it. But, I think I can make an exception for you. I'm part of the Covert Flyers." I said.
"What do you do?" She asked.
"We're a group of stealth pegasi that travel around Equestria covertly and gather intel for the head of the guild." I said.
"Who's the head?" She asked.
"I can't tell you that." I said.
"Why not?" She asked.
"Well, because nobody really knows. No one's ever even seen him." I said.
"How does he get the intel you collect then?" She asked.
"We pass the intel off to a handler, who pays us and we go about our business. We are paid to not ask questions." I said.
"So, you're like a spy?" She asked.
"Yea, I guess we are." I replied.
"That is so cool." She said.
I looked over and saw Pinkie looking at me and smiling.
"What?" I whispered to her.
"Are you going to ask her?" Pinkie asked.
"Not yet. Now, get out of here." I said.
"What was that?" Dash asked.
"Nothing, just a fly." I replied.
"Do you think you could put a good word in for me with the Wonderbolts?" Dash asked.
"I don't see why not." I said.
"Well, we're here." Twilight said.
