Camera trotted over to Baker, relieved at seeing her again. "Hiya Cous, how are you," Camera asked, giving Baker a hug.
"I've been doing good, what about you", she asked.
"Same, just worn out from that long train ride. Sheesh, can they make those seats any less comfortable," Camera said, rubbing his foreleg.
Baker chuckled and replied, "yeah, I know how you feel, Camera. Anyway, welcome to Ponyville. I assume Uncle Projector explained your living arrangement"? Indeed, Projector had indeed told Camera that he would be staying with Baker for a time, just until he can actually get his own place. The two began walking through the town, all the while catching up.
" So you're working at the Sugarcube corner now", Camera asked.
"Hmm-hmm. After Mr and Mrs Cake retired, their children decided to start their own bakery in Fillydelphia, so Pinkie Pie and her husband began to run the place", Baker explained. Camera nodded and shifted the weight of his saddlebags.
"So I see Uncle Projector is still doing his thing", Baker said jokingly. Camera smiled and laughed.
It was a little joke between the two, as Projector was always a little eccentric, or as his brother had put it, "a walking encyclopedia that can also put together a decent movie". As the two walked, two ponies walked out of Sugarcube Corner. Camera looked over and saw it was Cheese Sandwich and Pinkie Pie, closing up for the night. Baker waved to them and yelled, " Hiya Mr and Mrs Sandwich". The two waved back and approached them. Now that he was closer to them, Camera noticed the baby bulge on Pinkie and how she seemed tired, but happy.
"Oh, so this is the cousin you were talking about," Cheese said, walking over to Camera.
"Hey, uh, did we meet once before, because I feel like I've seen you before," Camera asked, unsure as to whether or not he HAD done so.
Cheese smiled and nodded "Yes, yes we did. Your father had wanted a special celebration for when you got your cutie mark. I must say, is your father always so knowledgeable", he asked. Camera smiled sheepishly.
"Yeah, my dad's always like that", he replied.
Cheese laughed and said, "well, none of that matters now, Baker spoke about you alot". Pinkie walked over and smiled.
"Yeah, she sure did. Welcome to Ponyville, Camera", she said, shaking his hoof.
"Well, I gotta take him home now, I'll see you guys at work", Baker said. Pinkie and Cheese nodded and walked away.
...
"Well, welcome to my home", Baker said as she opened the door to the two story house. Like most houses in Ponyville, it was small, but cosy, with all the trappings of a modern home.
"Nice place, Baker", Camera said, looking over the place.
"Thanks, and I prepared the guest room for you, it is upstairs", Baker replied. Heading upstairs, Camera took a look at the guest room. The room was a relatively average sized room, with a large bed in the back, drawers and a closet for clothes, and a desk with a light. A door at a far end, when opened, led to a room for processing pictures.
"Wow, this is a nice room," Camera thought out loud as he set his saddlebags on the bed.
Three hours later, exhausted, Camera made his way to his room. Opening the door, he collapsed on the bed and fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow.
