Start At The Crystal Empire

By now, Mirage and Trixie and Skya, Mirage's pet ferret, have arrived at the Crystal Empire, a large city at the north region of Equestria. Everything sparkles like magic. "Here we are," Mirage said, "The Crystal Empire. Isn't it amazing here?"

"Yeah," Trixie said. "Hard to imagine that this whole city, or town never existed for a thousand years." "Yeah," Trixie agreed, "How unthinkable." "Let's not offend the crystal ponies," Mirage told Trixie, "They've all had it rough." "Ok," Trixie said, "Let's go sightseeing."

"Already doing that," Mirage said, "Looks like things are doing hunky-dory here." "Yeah," Trixie agreed. "Many visitors are now coming here," Mirage said, "I guess that means everypony is happy." "Right," Trixie agreed, "Everypony is happy." She looked all around the Crystal Empire.

Then Trixie noticed some ponies. "Hey," Mirage said, but then, he noticed that Trixie had hid from sight. "What?" Mirage thought. Skya just pondered. "Trixie?" Mirage asked, "What's going on?" "Shhh!" Trixie hushed Mirage.

"Oh," Mirage said, looking at the group of ponies. It was Twilight Sparkle with her friends. After they've walked out of sight, Mirage walked up to Trixie. "So that purple pony is Twilight Sparkle," Mirage asked Trixie. "Yes," Trixie replied, "That's her."

"Hmm," Mirage said, "Strange, I thought you said that she's a unicorn. And I don't remember another alicorn princess." "What?" Trixie said. She took another look at Twilight Sparkle, but she didn't dare get close to her. "Don't worry, Trixie," Mirage said, "I won't go and talk to them."

"Ok," Trixie said. "So," Mirage said, "Where would you like to go to next?" "Well," Trixie said, "I'm not really sure." "Oh well," Mirage said, "Take your time. Heh, actually, I'm not sure where to go to anyway. Perhaps we should have got a map of the Crystal Empire first." "Ok," Trixie agreed.

And the two ponies walked away. Nearby, Pinkie Pie watched the two ponies walk away. "There is something familiar about that blue pony," Pinkie Pie said. "Pinkie," Rainbow Dash said, "What are you doing?" "Looking," Pinkie Pie answered.

"Well, come on!" Rainbow Dash said, dragging Pinkie Pie by the tail. "Okey-dokey-lokey," Pinkie Pie replied.
