    ((@@Red Cedar, @))


    Silver Spoon had wandered towards the centre of the venue during all the fuss over Princess Twilight Sparkle. Secretly she hoped she might find some of Twilight's feathers, or even… no it was too amazing to even think about… her crown. She paced up and down the area where Twilight had been crashed into, looking for a souvenir of the princess, but came up blank.

    She had been interested in buying an apple fritter, but amid all the confusion, hadn't been able to. In fact, Applejack hadn't even told her the price. She ambled back to the apple stand to wait for Applejack to return.

    Silver Spoon finished eating and headed back to the nest-making area. Sweetie Belle and that pony with the bird… Eloquence… what was it… Inkspot? They seemed nowhere to be found. She slumped on her hoofs and planted her face on the table. She couldn't really be expected to make the remaining nests — however many it turned out they needed — all by herself, could she?

    She spotted a classmate of hers walking nearby with Princess Cadance and trotted over to them. "Excuse me, your highness," she started, interrupting their conversation and ignoring Rumble almost entirely. "I was… erm… I was on the nest building team, but I cam be from lunch and the rest of the team has disappeared!"

    "Yes, sure, she's having peppermint tea," Silver Spoon answered.

    She put a mint tea bag into a cup and poured the water. Personally she thought mint tea worked better with whole, fresh mint leaves, but she didn't have any of those — just these bags of dried mint. Probably most ponies wouldn't be able to tell the difference in taste anyway, though the tea did have less of a vibrant colour.

    She turned to Diamond Tiara. "Not bad. This was supposed to just be a way to drum up attention for the café in my garden, but some of the customers have actually paid money — looks like I'm going to earn more here that I would running the café back at home."

    "Thank you," Silver Spoon said meekly, accepting the glass of apple juice.

     

    She finished off her daisy sandwiches and slid the chips over towards herself. They looked delicious.

     

    She didn't normally like to talk to strangers, but this stallion seemed friendly, and she was pretty sure he had some kind of official job in Ponyville. She'd certainly seen him helping Mayor Mare run that cider contest at Sweet Apple Acres a few years ago. He didn't seem like the kind of stranger daddy warned her not to speak to. "So I hear you're some kind of doctor, right?" she asked, munching on a chip.

  5. I've been around long enough to remember where the term "shipping" originally came from...

    Of course the concept of shipping pre-dates The X-Files, but it was within the "X-Phile" community that the term arose. People were shipping Kirk and Spock right back in the 1960s.

     

    You can use the term "shipping" to refer to non-romantic relationships, but it's usually taken to refer to romantic ones. You can use the term "friendshipping" if you need to be clear you're talking about the former.

     

    Stories with sex might involve a relationship and romance, and thus be shipping stories, or they might not.

     

    Most of my pony stories involve shipping of one sort or another. No prize for guessing my favourite pony ship.

    Silver Spoon loudly asked for some daisy sandwiches when she got to the front of the queue. She'd heard somewhere that Princess Twilight loved daisy sandwiches, so if Twilight overheard her, then it would give them something to talk about. But looking around, Twilight wasn't anywhere near, making the exercise a little futile. It drew an odd look from the ponies serving the food though.

    Silver Spoon looked for somewhere to sit down and eat. The only spare set was near a brown earth pony she recognized as being the timekeeper for various events around town. She took a seat beside him to eat her sandwiches.

    Silver Spoon smiled at the customer ((Lantern Light)) behind the blue pony ((Peppermint Harmony)). "And what tea would you like, sir? I assume you heard what we have?"

    Silver Spoon explained the situation to the blue pony. "The tea is actually free," she said, "it's a special offer to help promote the café." She gestured at the small sign on the cart promoting her roadside café.

    "Of course, I'll happily accept tips," she said, looking towards Diamond Tiara, and slowly sliding the pony's bits towards her money box, hoping the blue pony wouldn't stop her.
