It's been months since Earth and Equestria made first contact. While the first few weeks have certainly been tumultous—cue the philosophical ramblings, the extra-political debates, and the riots flaming up here and there, not to mention severe culture shock from both sides—those things have died down...for the most part. These days, humans and ponies are just trying to get by, living with each other's dimensions connected.
On an early spring Friday, Lyra Heartstrings takes a trip to Blueglove, a booming city in Grays Harbor County, Washington. Her chosen dinnerplace: William's, a not-so-old diner recently renovated to accommodate Equestrian species and their tastes. She'd heard that Earth diners are not that different from the ones back home, so why not a little of the familiar with a big dose of the new?
And so, she sits at the counter and strikes a conversation with one waiter there: Carter.

Actually, this serves as a sort of pilot to a full on fic that I plan to do later on in the year, so to speak, so might come up there. It depends, though. Good thing you liked it.
Thank you for the like and the favorite, too.
Just re-read this, and I still love this.
I still think this is one of the most underrated Human-meets-Pony fics out there. :)

I'm honestly flattered by that. Well, it's a one-shot, but still, it's good to hear, considering I rarely re-read my own stories after I'm done editing them. About this being underrated: I'm not so sure about that one. A one-shot could only do so much and it's certainly nowhere near the level of fics like Anthropology.
Then again, this is a pilot, and the full-on fic is coming soon this year, either August or September.
