“If that’s what she wants. After all, she’d rather travel to other countries and battle giant undead squids, kidnappers, and giant wasps than be with us, or even tell us where she was going.” Barber says calmly.
“I-it wasn’t like that!” Ruby says, standing ridged suddenly, “I thought I messed up really bad, and I was also a little angry at you guys…”
There is a moment of silence, which Ruby breaks by asking, “So what happened that night I left?”
Barber opens her mouth to answer, but at this moment the door creaks open and a lanky, buck-toothed stallion walks in.
“I was just on the parade route and I think~~” Rat starts, stopping suddenly when he spies all the ponies in the room.
“Hey Rat.” Ruby responds flatly.
“Jeez, all this time and that’s it? Ain’t you got anything else to say to me?” Rat says, smirking and striding over to her.
Ruby thinks a moment, and then says, “Ever consider reconstructive dentistry?”
“Reconstructive dentistry? I’m surprised you know either of those words, much less how to pronounce them.” Rat says, rubbing Ruby’s hair.
“I know plenty! I’ve been learning to read and everything! Em~~… Err, Sapphire taught me!” Ruby says, pointing to the colt.
Rat’s eyes flick over to him for a moment, and then after a few seconds he turns his whole head towards the colt and asks,
“Hmm. You look familiar. Do I know you from somewhere?” Rat asks.
