	During the first official Hearth's Warming day, everypony was filled with cheer and joy and jumped out of their beds to celebrate the holiday of winter. Ash Griffin was no exception to be happy and excited for his first Hearth's Warming in Equestria. Albeit he does miss the original holiday, Christmas, he had already learned that if you love something, you have to, at least, let it go sometimes. However, his holiday morning did not start off like the others' for he discovered that he received a red box-like present wrapped in green ribbon right in the middle of his room. He questioned this at first but did not intentionally care at that moment. He promptly grabbed the holiday-themed present and exited the room to see if Twilight and Spike had awoken. To his curiosity yet also to his shock, he eventually found them, gawking at the sight prevailed near the town hall; a giant Christmas tree planted just beside the building. Under the tree, following the tradition done on Ash's planet, there lied dozens of wrapped presents with each pony's respective name helping the quadrupeds choose their correct presents.

Twilight, much to her nerdy excitement, received a book wrapped in violet wrapping paper about Earth's history. She shrieked so much, she managed to succumb onto the snow-covered pavement. The other's rolled their eyes before Spike found a bucket full of water and splashed it all onto Twilight's face, making her gasp heavily and questioned on what she missed out on. During the opening of the presents, Ash Griffin finally revealed to all of the ponies his gift which turned out to be coincidentally the three festive Kamen Rider tools; the Road Winter shiftcar, the Christmas Ring, and the Santa Claus Eyecon. Ash questioned their presence in the box, considering he already can possess their power when he would practice to employ them. But before long, he and the entire town witnessed in awe as all three items began to float into the air and spun around in a circular motion. They formed a bright light that sped over to the star on top of the ornament-decorated pine tree and then, all eyes looked above their heads to see a silhouette of Saint Nicholas himself, performing a wave to the townsfolk below and shouting out his famous "Ho! Ho! Ho!"

Twilight and Spike turned to Ash and asked him about who was that sleigh-riding individual to which he replied his very own name. He knew they would eventually ask him about Kris Kringle himself. Everything was jolly in Ponyville on that day forward and they all had a very Happy Hearth's Warming...........






On the fifth day of January, somewhere in the Ponyville park,.....


....we can see nopony other than Ash Griffin once more, sitting on the white bench and flipping the page of a book he borrowed from the library. Earlier today, he wanted to learn more about Equestria's history and its magnificent interests in time, so he searched through the library until he came upon the exact book on the left-sided bookshelf. When he already took hold of the book and pulled it out, there came Spike who entered the library next. The juvenile drake asked jokingly to Ash on whether he was following in Twilight's hoof-steps and becoming a nerd himself. The boy responded by becoming mute and walking past the dragon who raised a purple eyebrow but ignored him quickly. For now, all he wanted was some peace and quiet during his reading session, though the chirping of the birds was a bit flustering.

Ash has always been a sort of bookworm himself, similar to Twilight but not too much. He has always questioned why Twilight had such an obsession with books and eventually, his answer was discovered during that episode where the Mane 6 explained how they achieved their cutie marks to the Cutie Mark Crusaders. But, that leads to another question in mind which was unrealistic but also somewhat possible; what would his cutie mark be? He recognized some of the bronies' self-made cutie marks, but he also wondered if someday, he would turn into a pony as well. ( Not the fan-made type, though. ) He had already studied some several suggestions of his pony form's cutie mark; it could be a sort of fighting tool which would resemble his use of weapons and his combat skills, it could show the image of a steel heart, which could resemble his compassion for other people, for all we know, it could represent one of the Riders' logos, including Ghost's.

He set this topic aside for later and kept on reading, looking up at the dirt road every 5 minutes just in case anypony walks by and greets him. The first time he arrived in the town, he has been receiving many greetings from ponies, but after a few days, he got used of the lessening quantity of said greetings. His reading was suddenly interrupted by a quiet rumbling sound which got louder and louder, causing the ground around the boy to shake including him and the bench. 

"Hm, is it just me....or is the ground becoming more-?" He pried into himself while bringing his attention to the source from the right. All he could see from the distance was a storm of dust clouds, following the dirt path's direction. "What is that......?" He got up from the bench with the book in tow and squinted his eyes, but could still not get a better view of the source, so he activated his Taka hawk-eyesight ability which made his eyes glow red once more and tried to make out the source this time. Afterward, his eyes could finally see through the cloud and spotted what seemed like a herd of cattle, stampeding their way towards his spot. "Hey, those cattle look kinda familiar......" Then, the ground beneath him became even more precarious than before which now made the trees vibrate. His ability then deactivated to see the stampede cloud, getting even closer, specifically speaking, they were actually about 100 yards away which got Ash's instincts to kick in.

"Uh oh...." His eyes widened at the sight and the cattle were already 75 yards away from his position. He did not even notice them until he deactivated his Hawk-eyesight ability. His legs started to shiver and almost looked like they were about to collapse under his body structure. Even if he had the powers of courageous heroes, his fear of stampedes denied the fact. The stampede was now 50 yards away, making the human boy look to both his left and right. With no other choice but to hide Fluttershy-styled, he chose none other than the bench to roll behind and ducked to match up its size. He would have just used one of his powers to stop them, but he remembered what would happen if he used something dangerously stupid like the Tomarle Signal Bike's giant electricity-based stop sign. In reality, it would either just electrocute the cows and cook them into fresh steaks or stun them, thus knocking them out. In fact, he had not acquired the knowledge on how to make use of this special power just yet. His inability to stop the herd was proven the moment he heard the cattle got closer until finally, dust clouds and particles began to cover up his sight and his breath, making him cough several times.

After all of the dust cleared up, he opened his eyes once more to stand up and see the road he was once standing on was now covered with cow hoof-prints. Luckily, the book was still in one piece, otherwise, he would have received an attempted beating from Flame-On Twilight back at the castle. However, his ears could pick some more hoof-steps coming from the same direction where he spotted the orange Apple herself, galloping after the herd along with Rainbow Dash who insisted on flying instead. Ash wanted to grab their attention for a minute by calling out their names,

"Hey, guys!", but the two ignored the fact that Ash was present just by the bench and kept on running towards the herd. He raised an eyebrow to both their ignorance and the random stampeding herd of cattle. "What is going on here?" Knowing going on bare feet would not be enough to catch up to the speeding stampede, he then raised his left leg and visualized a pale blue machine included with a yoke of two big and thick wheels at the bottom.






WHEEL ~ ON!






After then, outlined parts became forming into the same shape and size of the transportation device. He shook his head out of his thinking session and put his newly built wheels onto the ground. "Oh, well. Might as well test this thing out while I'm at it." After a few seconds of checking out the corners and sides of the newly built machine, the wheels abruptly spun and created a burnout before reducing its friction to actually accelerate and catch up to the two mares. He just hoped he could accomplish this objective in time to continue reading the book he left behind the bench.

But even so, something would tell him that he might need to retrieve it first by a mischievous red, clawed glove-like hand that flew down from the tree a few millimeters away behind the bench. It made sure the coast was completely sure by turning right and left before confirming it was alone and seized the book to return to the same tree to read it. If it was in a completely different kind of environment that differs the Earth's, it might as well read about some of the country's history.





While the two ponies and human chased after the dairy-producers, we switch out viewpoint to the inside of the palace of Canterlot where Princess Luna, Goddess of the Night was roaming through the halls of said palace. Her small smile could be detected by the maids and the guards nearby with their heads turned every time she passed them by. The source, however, completely differed her smile, for she had a secret she needed to admit to somepony. One which she was too shy and embarrassed to talk out loud in public. She had been keeping this secret onto her chest for too long and she must discuss it with somepony she knows she could trust. She was soon face-to-face with the double-doors to the throne room inside, gazing upon its massive size first before gently opening them to reveal her sister, sitting on her throne with comfort as usual. There was also a mare in a brown business suit, awaiting her stack of papers to all be signed by the princess herself.

Luna felt unusually nervous about this which was what nopony would see every day. She was not sure that explaining the topic to her elder sibling was such a good idea. Her gulping could show the intensity, weighing down on her like a meteor crushing an entire forest. She was about to step back and pretend like this scene never happened when Celestia spotted her in front of the royal doors with a calm yet questioning smile. The two guards below her throne noticed her sister too, not saying a word about her presence. 

"Oh, Luna!"

Celestia called out to the younger ruler whose legs seemed like they were about to collapse on each other by shuddering too much. This action did not go unnoticed by the princess of the Sun nor the mare and the guards who raised their eyebrows in question at her conduct. "Is something the matter?" Celestia asked, but her sister continued to rock her legs uncontrollably with unease. Luna's ears could pick up her sister's two sentences, hence with a calming sigh to cool her off, she finally spoke her first sentence.

"Sister, may we speak in private?" She asked. Tia did not see why she wanted to but guessed it was probably about some royal stuff. 

"Yes, of course." Her horn's luminosity died down as she handed over the stack of papers to the mare and asked her to leave. The same went for the guards and so, the three ponies all left the room, leaving the two co-rulers of Equestria to have a private meeting slash chat. "So, what is it that you wish to talk to me about, Luna?" She could pick up a calming sigh produced by her sister, also commonly used by Twilight and Cadence. This was the moment of truth, the moment where she divulges her secret to somepony that she has trusted for a long time. Her hooves carried her nearer to the throne and let her sit on the platform to Celestia's right. Her eyes faced her elder sister's and thought of the words on how to describe the question without looking like a sweaty nervous wreck.

"Tia," Her eyes then looked down shortly before looking at Tia again. "I.....I....." Unexpectedly, she found herself being wrapped by a white wing the next moment that caught her by slight surprise. But, this did not stop her from explaining her situation and proceeded. "I....have a confession to make...a secret, to be more specific." Luna could still see the white alicorn's questioning smile that gave her a hint of what was going to be spoken next.

"A secret? What type of secret?"
"Well, um..." Her hoof then raised higher to her mouth and bit on it softly because of pure pressure. "do you ever get that feeling where....your eye suddenly, you know.....catches somepony of your interest?" An eyebrow was raised to this question by Celestia who was smiling secretively in her mind. 
"Where are you going with this, Lulu?"
"I'm just supposing that....I might have caught somepony of great interest and trust. But then, I began to get this feeling in my chest that wants to explode and say something....unusual to that pony." Shortly, Celestia giggled before guessing the answer to Luna's question. After all, it is not every day somepony would have the 'feelings' for another, rarer for the princess honestly speaking.
"I think I know what you are experiencing, Luna." She may have turned her head away from Luna, but the Night Princess could still see Celestia's smirk. It was a little disturbing which made her think that Tia already knew about who was this 'pony' she spoke of. She was about to speak more when Tia interrupted her by saying, "I think....you have a crush on somepony."

It was surprising to see Luna's cheeks had gone from their typical night blue to a hot red and her nervous smile did not help her in any way to hide it whatsoever. She tried to lightly protest, but the words did not come out, only incomplete stutters. Celestia knew she was too nervous to speak any more than that, but she merely wanted to help her sister with this issue, especially if the scene got privately awkward. Her sister's mouth still continued to falter, so she shushed Luna calmly which worked perfectly to get her to pipe down.

"There's no need to be so nervous, Luna." Luna sighed thanks to Celestia halting her speech. "You can stop of you want."
"Thank you, Tia. It's just that...." Luna sighed again of uneasiness. ".....I do not think it is normal for me to experience this feeling of having a....'crush'."
"Don't you recall what happened when Princess Cadence and Shining Armor got married? I believe that's what you are feeling right now." She did make a good point to Luna's opinion about that. After all, those two DID had feelings for one another on first sight. But, what about Luna? She had never set her eyes on any stallion in Equestria, mostly because she was sent to the moon for about 10 centuries.
"Considerably, I suppose that does make sense." A hoof was placed to her chin when she began to think more. "But, what does that make me? I don't even know the first thing about.....this feeling." Luna knew she needed some help, but not like this. Celestia then thought on her own to help her before confirming her said thought, whatever it was.

"Tell you what, sister." Luna raised an eyebrow before Celestia went on. "Maybe sometime later, I can help you overcome your issue in some way. Then, you can tell me anything else that you have included about this problem, alright?" This made the younger sister almost wanted to smile with pure hilarity, but instead, all the white ruler had received from her was a casual smile of thankfulness which could work as well.
"Oh, thank you so much, sister!" She hugged Celestia with warmth which made her embarrassed but did not expect for Tia to hug her back. This went on until 3 seconds of embracing later when Luna cleared her throat, "I will take my leave now if you may.", and with the approving nod from Tia, she flew down and placed her hooves back on the floor before exiting the throne room.

Celestia felt happy that her sister was falling in love with somepony, but she also wondered on who she might have a crush on. It is possible for her to have a crush on Big Macintosh if you compare the size and great courage they both possess, but that apple stallion was not much of a talker to many ponies, so he was out of the picture. She could think of other stallions in Equestria that might have her interest, but they mostly respect her as a ruler rather than a 'lover'. So, who could it be? Whoever it was, she needed to find out about the stallion she has gone head-over-heels to before any opportunity among them "poofs" away.





We exit the castle to adjust our view to a few kilometers down yonder where we can see an all too familiar zebra's hut, located very deep in the Everfree Forest, one of the most terrifying and most bizarre places ponies have ever discovered. Some say that its weather was uncontrollable by pegasi, the plant life do not need the assistance from Earth ponies to grow and also, scary and spooky monsters have been heard and seen lurking in its environment. Ash Griffin, however, was not creeped out by it one bit. This was basically the same behavior for any forest back on his planet, in fact, self-growing plants and uncontrollable yet predictable weather were pretty much commonly recognized in any type of area back on Earth. The reason why he has explained this was because Twilight asked him about his thoughts on the said forest to which he replied, 'Meh, I don't mind.' He had a good point. Back in the mirror world where the alicorn and drake were sent to retrieve her crown, her human-turned unicorn friend, Sunset Shimmer explained to her about the weather and the environment of her new home during her 'encounter' with a certain purple-skinned counterpart of hers.

But, enough of that for it is time to dive in and see what the rhyming zebra has in store for us. Our view soon changed to the inside of the hut, showing off the various potions and creepy yet decorative tribe masks hanged up on the wall. It was unknown why this zebra liked disturbing masks that much, but others claimed to not complain. In the center, we see Zecora herself, wearing a pair of safety goggles while pouring a greenish potion liquid into her cauldron from an onion bottle. Her mouth helped to keep the jar facing downwards as one last drop of it was finally poured. Once that was done, she placed the bottle aside and wiped a bead of sweat from her brow, proving her hard work was not an easy task. Although, her smile said otherwise of her near success of her objective.....whatever it was.

But this time, she was not working alone because we can hear three other voices coming from one of the shelf areas behind her back. We watch none other than The Cutie Mark Crusaders themselves, searching the five shelves for a flask bottle of orange glass. They had no idea what was inside of the bottle, though. But, they searched for it non-stop whatsoever. After all three eyes locked onto the second shelf above the first below, they had spotted a bottle the same shape and color of what Zecora described. Applebloom and Sweetie Belle both turned to Scootaloo who nodded immediately and her wings began to beat frequently until she was slightly airborne. She did not need to ascend too high nor did she want to. Eventually, she reached the second shelf and her hoof grabbed it, descending back to the brown-recolored floor. The three crusaders all smiled at her before turning around and walked forward to hand/hoof it over to Zecora.

"Hey, Zecora!" Applebloom called the zebra who turned her head to them at once. "We got-!" 

Without warning, Scootaloo blindly tripped over a small rock in her path, face planting onto the floor and also, much to the other's horror, flung the bottle over a distance. All eyes widened as the bottle spun in slow motion in the air and thought that it was going to release the potion by shattering onto the floor, but thanks to sheer luck, its cork instead somehow loosened itself before it set down onto the pot's side part and poured all of its coincidentally orange fluid into the cauldron. Then, it let gravity finally pull it down to the ground with only a few drops of its potion to spare. The zebra and two non-face planted fillies sighed heavily of relief and soon, Scootaloo freed her face from the floor and sighed as well after regaining her vision. That moment could have been heartbreaking for Zecora because that was the last one of her orange potions that she presently had.

"Whew!" A hoof on Sweetie Belle's forehead wiped off the sweat. "That was a close one!"
"Yeah." Scootaloo followed. "Good thing we got lucky this time." They could soon see the smile on Zecora's face, which made them proud that they had helped yet another pony ( or zebra, specifically ) in reaching their goal.
"Oh, thank you, Cutie Mark Crusaders!" Zecora thanked them with an unusually high voice. "This truly warms my heart! I knew I needed your assistance from the very start!" Her hooves then reached the three fillies and hugged them warmly to their appreciation. It was not every day when you get whatever sort of hug from a zebra these days. But, Zecora realized that she was acting like only half of herself, so she broke the embrace with an 'I didn't do it' face and switched the subject. "So, did we get all of the ingredients possessed by me and all of you or did we miss anything to be summed into the green brew?" This question forced Sweetie Belle into using her horn to levitate a nearby list on a wooden counter and read through it one more time. 

"Hm, let me check...." The only sound the others could hear from the unicorn filly's voice was quiet muttering, so they waited for 4 seconds before she confirmed it. "Yep! Looks like we got everything." Zecora 'Hm-ed' with a delightful smile. Scootaloo, however, was not yet convinced that this brew or elixir or whatever it was was completed, so she proceeded to ask a question.
"So, what are we supposed to do now?" She asked. "I mean, we already got all of the ingredients and potions we needed, but isn't something supposed to happen once we're finished?" Sweetie Belle thought that she made a good point about that assertion. She did not technically read ALL of the scroll's steps, in fact, she was muddled as to why she missed one more step at the very bottom of it she spotted just now. She squinted her eyes and read the last step on the rolled-up bottom of the scroll. 
"Huh, you're right, Scootaloo. It says here that the last step we need to do is.....light up the firewood underneath the cauldron."

"Anythin' else?" Applebloom asked next.
"Yeah, it also says that we need some sort of card and dump it into the elixir." Everpony raised their eyebrows at her read statement, even Zecora did not know why and she was the one who found this scroll about, what like 1 and a half hour ago. But, she decided to question even further to speed up this process anyway.
"And what type of card do you exactly proclaim? A one for witchery, power or those ones you commonly play as a game?" The white unicorn read through more of the step on the back page of the scroll and certified it once again.
"Well, it doesn't say anything on the list, but I think just a plain card will do the trick.'' Suddenly, all of them heard Scootaloo giggled with pride which made them confused. Did she bring the item they required or is she just laughing because of the 'card' part?

"Well, lucky for you, I've happened to bring an assortment of cards for when we're finished with helping Zecora." She proved this by drawing out a box cards out of her mane with some strands stuck to it. Scootaloo wiped off all of the purple hair from it and showed it to the group. Being curious, Applebloom was about to ask her about how she actually got that entire box to fit in her hair, but seeing that they were almost finished anyway, she hesitated from speaking further. And she said those cards were unnecessary to bring. The orange pegasus gave Sweetie Belle a card she slipped out of the box with her friend's horn, lighting up and levitating the card above the pot of green fluid. She already remembered that the pot needed to be fired up, so she asked none other than.....

"Zecora, would you do the honors of lighting this fire up?" Her hoof pointed to the firewood below with her horn still glowing a light lime green.
"Certainly, Sweetie Belle." Without wasting any time, she grabbed a match nearby and skidded its top onto the cauldron, therefore creating a little flame of heat and instantly threw it into the firewood. The three crusaders were always warned to never play with matches when they were a tad younger, but since they were somewhat grown up now, they were allowed to even stand near a fire. With a sudden burst of flames, the fire finally began to spread to the remaining wood successfully and in doing so, the green liquid began to boil which got Sweetie Belle on queue.
"Well, here goes nothing." She deactivated her magic right away before the card fell into the brew and sunk afterward, leaving the others in absolute curiosity. What was supposed to happen now? Will it do something dangerous? Or will it bring a miracle to them? Who knows? Only 5 seconds passed and Scootaloo was already getting hyped up about this prospect, so she attempted to speed it up.
"So,.....what now?" She asked. 

Sweetie Belle opened her mouth to answer but paused at the sight of a bright white light in the corner of her eye. To be more clear-cut, it was originating from inside of the cauldron which caught all of the four by surprise and awe. "Woah....." was the only word they needed to depict its beauty, especially Zecora. She had never witnessed any of her potions shine or glow a light, even when she tried to create that 'glow-in-the-dark' potion last week. Suddenly, the giant charcoal pot started to shake furiously, which made the unicorn filly back away quickly to the rest of the group in fear. Then, it happened; the vat abruptly shot out a straightforward beam of green light into the air that created a hole in the hut's roof in the process. The fillies and zebra's eyes all widened even more and their mouths hung even lower. Forcing her eyes to look at Zecora, Applebloom tried to demand an answer from her while not gawking at the occurrence.

"Uh, Z-Zecora?" She asked apprehensively. "W-what do you suppose that is?" Her hoof wiggled in fear while pointing at the shaft of light.
"I-I-" Stammering was all she could do because of the mysterious sight until- "I......don't know."

The moment the filly was about to yell out, "WHAT!?!?", an object of the utter mystery suddenly appeared inside of the shaft, floating between the roof and cauldron. It was hard to make out with the naked eye, but they could still see its structural shape; it was rectangular and its color was temporarily darkened by the beam's uncanny light. The goggles on Zecora's face still remained because of the straps which were unnecessary because no wind was being produced and no obstacles were being flung or blown straight to them. Finally, after a longer span of seconds and without preparation, the group soon had to shield their eyes because of a brighter flash of white light that the fillies thought was brilliant than the Sun.

It only lasted seconds before it died down and allowed the ponies and one zebra to put their hooves away and scan the area. Not much destruction was caused with the exclusion of the roof and also, Zecora found out that her cauldron was charred, which could be because of the fire that remained as smoke that rose into the air. The event was so stunning and utterly miraculous that even some of the nearby forest animals and critters saw the shaft of light protruding out of the hut. But, since they knew that the zebra had always mysterious, they ignored this quickly. The four did not even realize they were sitting on their haunches and closed their mouths, which strangely produced a hinge-like sound effect. They all got onto their hooves once again and looked at each other, reassuring about what to do and took a few cautious steps forward to the giant charcoal vat. They did not care if it would be dangerous and besides, they have dealt with worse. Once they were close enough, they all took their respective sides of the cauldron and peeked at the inside; they spotted the card which meant it was a success but saw that something was different about it. Instead of the normal poker card it was before the experiment, its design had changed to that of Tsukasa Kadoya's Attack Ride cards with the green background and every little detail added. 

Of course, they had such little idea on what is was, but they figured that it was maybe recognizable to Ash and the other Riders he explained to the fillies. However, Zecora was the most entranced with this card because she had only heard a portion of the things that Ash Griffin had done in the past couple of weeks and months during his unintended stay, even if she lived in the deepest parts of the Everfree. She wanted to learn more about it, so she reached her hoof into the cauldron and grabbed the card using the unexplainable way of grabbing items with hooves. ( How do they work, dammit!? ) Anywho, she examined all sides of the cards from the edges to the back, giving the CMC a better look at it. Although it acquired every little detail of an exact Attack Ride card, it did not possess an image of an attack nor a rider. This knowledge was hitherto to be revealed to them and they still wondered what the card was until Sweetie Belle chose to break the ice.

"Zecora, what happened to the card....?" She asked her zebra friend.
"Hm, I believe the card has somehow changed its design and color to one where nopony recognizes from the others." The rhyming one responded.
"Obviously." Scootaloo thought and Applebloom asked her own question. 
"And do ya' think it might have something to do with Ash Griffin? Y'know, the hume-an that arrived in Equestria about two or four months ago?" She still had some trouble pronouncing the foreign word and she was just making sure Zecora also knew who he was. Ever since he arrived, it seemed HIGHLY impossible for anypony to forget his face. Zecora giggled to Applebloom's unnecessary description.
"Of course, I recognize who the human is and I think it would be improbable for anypony to forget him, even in a quiz." The three crusaders all "Meh-ed" to each other and let the adult continue her statement. "And to answer your previous question, Sweetie Belle......" She paused her sentence for more thinking and continued. "I do think that this card is related to the Griffin human, however, I will need more information to prove their relation." 

The Cutie Mark Crusaders all agreed to the zebra, except for one little fact that none of them have known yet: they had no idea where he was. But, that thought was disturbed when they all suddenly felt like the entire surface beneath them was vibrating.........






Meanwhile......






While the ponies all handled with their own situations, we shift our view to a place where we thought we would never lay eyes on until the finale; Earth. Our home planet and the only currently known planet to possess life. We then zoom through the planet's atmosphere and zoom in on a location, somewhere in the heart of Japan to take in the surrounding area. We can see many buildings for miles with so many citizens, roaming around the streets as some of them were chatting on their phones while others just minded their own business. However, our final scene will not start in a city, but we will be alternatively at the park where not much technology reigned over. At this location, there were mostly flora and some fauna as well if you count the little butterflies and other insects that lurked under people's shoes. Okay, technically they actually live in grass-filled lands or other areas, but the description is kind of difficult to make out with their size. And what was more or less interesting was the fact that not many people have gone to the park today because they had work and other obligations to perform.

However, without expectation, a strange, buzzing noise was produced somewhere near the lake which came included with also a materializing object of a rectangular shape. It looked like its entire physical structure was flashing from invisible to visible continuously until it eventually stood tangible, completely visible to the eyes of a human, but since there were no humans around, it was totally unobtrusive and non-attention drawing to humans from a far distance. Coincidentally, this strange object was actually Doctor Whooves's T.A.R.D.I.S. with its glory and.....blueness and stuff. Abruptly, the left door swung open from the inside to reveal not the face of the average Joe Time Turner, instead it showed the face of a grayish-brown stallion, wearing a blue top hat who was venturing this world with his other companion, one to fill in Derpy's place in case she was busy with helping Clockwork. Apparently, the mare in question was none other than the one featured in that Breezies' episode during Season 4.

Because I want to end this chapter as soon as possible because I'm too tired of making an entire scene with audible chats, I will have to mute the voices as this part of the story comes to its end. The mare poked her head out of the doorway to make sure no one was around before exiting the spacecraft fully and stood onto the grass with her hooves. Obviously, they chatted for a while about being in the right location and other junk that I will also mute. But, things were soon about to take an unexpected turn when a pair of legs accidentally bumped into Time Turner's rear side, catching him by surprise. Forcefully disabling his cheeks from becoming red, he turned around with an annoyed face and was about to yell out to the stranger behind him about what his bloody business was when he realized he was facing a tall biped with a bag of donuts in his hand. The gray pony could recognize the treats in the bag from the sugar, sticking onto his top lip, plus there was a logo of a doughnut on the bag after all. He had to raise his head up to see his face and could spot his few other features such as brown hair, a black jacket added with a plain red shirt, and a couple of purple jeans. The beige skinned human looked to the two ponies who gawked a bit at his appearance, copying his current facial expression. 

The biped's eyes then spotted the T.A.R.D.I.S. with more confusion fueling his curiosity with questions beyond the simple level. He then looked back at the ponies and asked himself, 'Korera no uma wa daredesu ka?', 'Karera wa yūkō-tekidesu ka?', 'Karera wa Magic Land kara kimashita no?' The three continued to stare at each other with their mouths opened to any flies that might want to enter and their brains were creating questions faster than anyone could say, "Open Sesame". Since the moment was silence with a touch of awkwardness, the only ice breaker was produced by the Dragon-Man.

"Dakara,.......Magic Land ka nanika kara kimitachi wa nanidesu ka?"
