Emerald says he’d like to see the puppet show.
 
“Great! It’s this way!” the filly says, motioning with her hoof.
 
After a very short walk they come across an old, wood building. There isn’t as much artifice on this building as there were on the others, but it’s been well kept with fresh paint. It looks like it was once perhaps an inn or an orphanage. However the sign above the double doors now reads “Whitherwater Eastside Community Center”.
 
Ruby leads Emerald to the side of the building where there is a sizable brick wall with an arch containing barred garden doors and a sign for the times of the puppet show.
 
Ruby walk up and pokes her head through the bars and says, “Hmm, I wonder if there is a show going on right now…”
 
Emerald looks at the sign near the door for the times, and says that there is going to be one in about half an hour.
 
Ruby removes her head from the door with some trouble and looks to Emerald astonished and says, “Whoa! You can read? Teach me to do that sometime!”
 
Emerald smiles, and then he hears a voice from behind him.
 
“Oh, hello dearies! Can I help you with anything?” An elderly mare says, walking up to them.
 
“Uh, no, we were just~~” Ruby starts, but Emerald interrupts her and says that they’d like two tickets for the show, and holds out some bits.
 
A second later they are let through the door, and Emerald turns to see a slightly fuming Ruby.
 
“I-I told you we could have watched it for free! Jeez, you should have at least let me pay!” Ruby says with a huff.
 
Emerald says it’s fine, and she really shouldn’t worry about it.
 
They approach and find, nice, flat stones laid close to one of the walls of the community center, in which is set the stage. The puppet stage has clearly had a lot of care put into it. Carved and painted wood panels are set into the sides, and the closed curtain is a nice, clean, bright red.
 
Still some time before it starts. What does Emerald do?
