Emerald quickly retrieves the pen and notepad from his backpack and scrawls out a note to Joyride, telling her where he is, and how he lost the box in as much detail as he can remember. He starts to write a second letter to Hope telling her not to worry, that Joyride is being okay and though he is separated from her he’ll beback soon.
 
While he is doing this he notices Praline staring at him.
 
“Whoa! You can read AND write?” She says in awe.
 
“Is it really that impressive…?” Emerald says a little taken back.
 
Giles chuckles disdainfully.
 
“Sure! I don’t know anyone else who can write! Grandpa could, but he ain’t around anymore.” Praline says shrugging and ignoring her brother, “You gotta teach me!”
 
“Uh, sure.” Emerald says smiling, and then goes back to finishing the letter to Hope. After he finishes both letters he takes the dragon fire lantern and uses it in the same manner as he saw Cirrus use it, except that the flame that comes out is a bright purple. This draws a gasp of surprise from Praline, and a look of annoyed curiosity from her brother.
 
A few moments later a letter appears out of swirling ash.
 

 
Hey again Emerald,
 
Pecan Family Farm?
 
I have no idea where that is.
 
Ah well, if you got there in such a short period of time it must be pretty close to the place the dragon was. Just try your best to stay where you are and around other ponies, especially since Stargazer and probably the other person escaped from the box. See if they’ll let you stay at the farm until I find it. Offer your body as payment if you have to, or if you are really desperate just offer to work off your debt.
 
See you soon,  
Joyride
 

 
Emerald looks up to see Praline and Giles looking at him.
 
“Going to tell us what’s with the letters now or what?”
