Autumn Moon

"That's terrible"She says looking down sadly"I can't imagine how that would feel. Having your friends killed"She sighs and takes a bite of her food again"Life hasn't been very kind to you has it?You know, sometimes I wonder what it would have been like to grow up normally"

She smiles remembering"Well, I lived in a small village with the other ponies she adopted, there were lots of us. We lived by using the Everfree's plants to eat and the tree's for shelter. We never feared it, it was it's name to us, Ever-Free. It was the best life I could have had growing up"

She sets her cup down gently"Well....It's my home, I've always lived there"She sighs sadly"It was my first and only real home." She smiles"And it's not that bad really, you just have to avoid the poison joke, though Lulu never told us what it's done, but from the stories I imagine it can be pretty funny"

"Well so far I've been doing odd jobs around the town and the orchard farm nearby"She sighs"It's hard to get a job for me at the moment, it's summer now so I might get a job once Autumn comes"She takes a sip of her water thinking."Maybe I'll try to find permanent work at the orchard"

She shakes her head again"I'm not too young, I simply don't like alcohol."She takes another bite of food before continuing"m simply not a fan of the flavor"She smiles slightly"Also I'm not a fan of being intoxicated:"She smiles at him"P;us where I'm from we don't have any wine"

Autumn nods and continues to look out the window. The waitress walks up and give them there food."Thank you"Autumn says grateful for the distraction. She levitates her fork up and takes a bite of her food, though she still doesn't know what it is"This is delicious!"

Her smile fades"Yeah...She was...She was a mother to all of us." She looks out the window at the forest that conceals her home"I miss her...and my family"She sighs"It's been so long since I've seen them. I never did find out what they did with themselves, what they're lives were like...without me"She says not realizing she's speaking out loud.

"No thank you, I don't drink"She says with a shake of her head"But you can still get some for yourself, don't let me stop you"She looks around the restaurant hoping he'll forget about his first question, seeing as she has no idea what she really ordered.So long as it's not snails I'll be happy.

"Oh!"She turns it over.Aand it's in cursive.She looks over the menu trying to read the fancy writing. After a few minutes she points to one"Um I'll have that"She smiles at the waitress and opes it's a real option and not a heading. But to her relief the waitress smiles and collects the menus

Autumn smiles and copies his posture perfectly. She picks up her menu with her magic and examines it. After a few moments she looks at him hesitantly"Uumm... is this in french too?"She asks embarrassed.​ If it's not then I'm so embarrassed!She looks at im from behind the menu

The waitress looks confused and somewhat flattered but nods anyways, she leads them to a table and hands them two menus. "What did you say to her?"Autumn asks confused."Was that...french?"She asks trying to place the langue. It sounded different...Hmmmmm

Autumn nods and gently sets him down. She opens the door of the restaurant and walks in. She holds the door open for him."The scent is amazing" She sighs slightly and wishes she could stop talking like she was from a thousand years ago. Which she really is.

Autumn smiles and trots towards the restaurant"Well kinda...We weren't tribal per say, we were just...less informed then these ponies"She catches a scent on the wind."Is that prench food?"She asks excited."It smells delicious!" It was true. All of a sudden she was starving

Autumn makes a right and takes a moment to think of a answer"Yeah, or so...And I haven't always lived in ponyville, I used to live a long way away"Kinda"It was a lot different back then"She says wistfully."I kind miss things but I like ponyville a lot! They have many wonderful inventions!"

"Good"She says relived"And me too, laws and life used to be a lot different when I was a kid"She sighs as he mind returns to the old days when her friends were alive and happy, and when she had a family of sorts. Before she was frozen.What was the creature that froze me anyway?
