Chapter 12
Our friends had a great time at the Crystal Empire. Now it's time for them to move on to their next destination. Manehatton. Now they're saying goodbye to Princess Cadence, Shining Armor, and Flash.
Avery: "We're gonna miss you guys."
Princess Cadence: "Same here. You should come back and visit us again." (whispers to Avery) "Remember what I told you. Okay?"
Avery: "I will."
Raveon: "It was great meeting you guys."
Shining Armor: "I know it was. Tell Twily that I said hello."
Raveon: "Count on it."
Flash: "I think I might come to Ponyville one day. That is if I get a day off."
Raveon: "I'm pretty sure you will. It's good meeting you Flash Sentry." (holding up his hoof)
Flash: "What's that for?"
Raveon: "Just giving you a fist bump or in this world a hoof bump."
Raveon and Flash gave each other a hoof bump. The same train that picked Raveon and Avery is back to pick them up. They got on the train and waved goodbye to everypony. Hoping one day soon they'll see each other again. On the train, Raveon and Avery went back to their room and relaxed.
Avery: "This is actually kind of nice to be back on the train again."
Raveon: "You got that right."
Avery: (sighs)
Raveon: "What's wrong?"
Avery: "I'm just wondering how our friends are doing."
Raveon: "Same here."
Avery: "Can I ask you something?"
Raveon: "Sure what?"
Avery: "Why did you pick me to come on your journey with you?"
Raveon: "I just thought that you would love to see parts of Equestria since your dad never takes you on any of his business trips. You're rich to you know. You should travel too. So what better way than to travel with…well…me."
Avery: (lays her head on his neck) "You are very sweet."
Raveon: "I guess that's just the kind of guy I mean pony I am."
Raveon and Avery just continue snuggling on their way to Manehattan. Couple of hours later, Raveon is reading more spell books and history books he got from the Golden Oak Library and the Crystal Library while Avery sleeps next to him. An hour later Avery woke up to find Raveon still reading his spell book. He started to yawn as he closed the book up.
Raveon: "Hey you're up."
Avery: "Mm-hm. Are we there yet?"
Raveon: "I was so caught up in my book, I didn't bother to look up."
Avery: "What happened to reading giving you a headache?" (giggles)
Raveon: "Very funny." (looks out the window) "Avery! Look! We're here!"
Raveon and Avery have finally arrived in Manehattan! A metropolitan city first It bare a good resemblance to Manhattan in Raveon's world. Many of Manehattan's landmarks and thoroughfares looks just the city indeed. A statue of a green pony holding the torch resembles the Statue of Liberty. One of the buildings is exactly like the Chrysler Building, and one section of the city you all know New York City's own Times Square. There's even a Broadway theatre.
Avery: "Wow. Amazing huh Raveon."
Raveon: "Yeah. Just like home."
Avery: "You miss home."
Raveon: "Yeah. But I'm enjoying myself here so far."
As they get off the train and wander around, they notice a huge crowd at Central Park.
Avery: "What's going on over there?"
Raveon: "Don't know. Let's check it out."
They trotted over to Central Park and make their way through the huge crowd. They saw a wagon with a logo that says "The Mood Bracelet". Two unicorns came out singing and dancing making the crowd go crazy.
Flim: "Helloooooooooo Manehattan!"
Flam: "Ever wonder what kind of mood you're in?"
Flim: "Feeling happy?"
Flam: "Feeling sad?"
Flim: "Or maybe you're just down right angry!"
Flam: "Don't worry everypony! "With this device and this chart, you'll know exactly what mood you're in with our very own…"
Flim and Flam: "MOOD BRACELET!"
Raveon: "Who are you guys?"
Flim: "Well, lookie what we got here, brother of mine, it's a smarty pony. Thinks he knows everything."
Flam: "Who are we, you ask? Hit it brother!"

Flim and Flam: Yeah!
Avery: "I like to buy the Mood Bracelet!"
Raveon: "Avery!"
Avery: "Oh come on Raveon. It'll be fun."
Avery: "How much is the Mood Bracelet? I like to buy one. And so would my friend."
Flim: "Aren't you sweet? Young filly! You just made the purchase of a lifetime!"
Raveon: "How do we know it works huh?!"
Flam: "Well young colt. Would you like a demonstration?"
Raveon: "Yes I would."
Flim: "All righty then! You will be our volunteer!"
Raveon: "What?! No way!"
Flam: "Come on don't be shy!"
The Flim Flam Brothers put a bracelet on one of his hooves. Flim held up Raveon's hoof while Flam looked at the chart.
Flam: "Watch and be amazed Manehattan as the mood bracelet transforms in front of your very eyes!"
Flim: "And the color is…RED! What emotion is red brother?"
Flam: "Red. It means the young stallion is angry or irritated! Oh my!"
Flim and Flam both look at Raveon. Yeah, he's irritated alright!
Flim: "Oh my, oh my, oh my. He's very angry, brother. The mood bracelet is red!"
Flam: "But his eyes are green, brother!"
Flim: "Well, everypony! You saw it yourself! The mood bracelet indeed works!"
Flam: "You can keep that one kid!"
As Raveon and Avery got out of that crazy crowd, they look back for they saw more ponies gathering around that wagon.
Avery: "What a great deal. They even gave us that chart that shows what mood we're in."
Raveon: "Yeah. I guess it does work. Well we better head to the Mane Fair Hotel to get our room."
Avery: "Yeah. Our room." (blushing)
Both of their mood bracelets turn pink.
Raveon: "What does it say about being pink?"
Avery: "Oh Celestia!"
Raveon: "What does it say?"
Avery: (blushes) "It says…we're in love with each other."
Raveon: "Oh." (blushes)
They arrived at the Mane Fair Hotel and settled in their room. Avery laid back on the bed while Raveon was using his horn to get pen and paper out.
Avery: "Care to join me?"
Raveon: "I will. I have to write a letter to our friends."
Avery: "Ok. Hurry back."
Raveon and Avery have finally arrived at Manehattan and met the Flim Flam Brothers who sold them magic mood rings. When will our favorite couple figure out that those aren't magic at all?! Will they find out that they have been scammed? Stay tuned to Chapter 13 and find out.
