That got a good chuckle out of me. “So bad puns don’t come from just me, then! It runs in the family.”

“Well...it’s nice knowing everything’s finally sorted out. I best be heading out to rendezvous with the others….maybe stop by a restaurant. You two should catch up when you get the chance.”

Have fun with your friends, Loyal.

Heading back down to Ponyville, it was a little bit darker in the sky. Guess time really passes when you’re enjoying the views. Everypony else had gone home except for Starlight and Twilight (and I’m assuming Trixie, though she wasn’t anywhere to be found. Likely settling in someplace.”

 

“So, uhh….with all this wild stuff being over, do you girls want to, ah...grab a bite to eat? Of course, I--” I stopped myself, seeing a random bit on the ground. “huh. Well, I can at least pay with this, but it’s small….but it’s progress.”

(Friends of Purple Pony Princess don't need to pay for anything.

We just give the bill to Princess Celestia. )

 

I know the *best* burger place, have you ever heard of "Five Colts"?.

I'm sorry Trixie wasn't able to join us, Loyal.

She was *exhausted* from the trip to Fillydelphia.

 

*Makes "" face*

“To be fair, the last time I went to eat with someone like Trixie, they got me a Colt Cone.”

[Sparklefan1234 161,903]

I'm sure that was just a one time thing. 

Trust me, Loyal. Trixie *reallly* likes you a lot.

Yes. In a platonic "just friends" kind've way.

“Oh, okay.”

 

Looking up at the sky one final time, I sighed a sigh of relief. Finally….this nightmare was over. We headed off to hang out, have a good time, and perhaps learn more about each other.

(Story’s coming to a close, wanna put Loy’s parents in talking with Twi a bit before ending it?)

Before long, we had been seated in the restaurant. The great smell of food filled the air. “This place looks rather nice.”

Hello, I am Trixie your "Great and Pow-" *ugh* waitress.

How may I serve you today?

Yes. 

Do you know what you would you like to order, Sir?

“Alright...I’ll go for a simple….daffodil delight,” I finished, reading off the menu.

[Sparklefan1234 161,903]

That sounds good. I'll have a daffodil delight, too. 

Same here. 

 

Ok. Three Daffodil Delight's. 

It has been Trixie's pleasure taking your food orders.

“Aren’t you supposed to be performing magic acts? Do you not get paid doing so?”

[Sparklefan1234 161,903]

"The Great and Powerful" Trixie does not perform magic for payment,

she performs because to of the love of prestidigitation that she's had ever since Trixie was a filly!
