Emerald and Ruby find a nice area to sit near the front. He glances around. There are two exits from this area. The one they came in, and one a bit more to the north through another ornate garden gate. He doesn’t know why, but Emerald feels safer knowing he could probably escape if he needed too.
 
Eventually more kids and their parents start trickling in, and when the thirty minutes before the show is up there is a respectable crowd talking and waiting expectantly.
 
The show starts, and Emerald must admit he enjoys it greatly. He’d never seen a puppet show before, but he had read about them in his parent’s library. Ruby seems to like it as well.
 
“I’ve never been this close before! I can actually tell which puppet is supposed to be who!” Ruby says, leaning over and whispering to Emerald.
 
It seems that the puppet show is actually made up of several plays put together.
 
The first one is a folk story about how the pony got it’s tail, involving a trickster pony named Jester Jinx. He insults a god by pretending his backside was his front, and the god ends up punishing all of pony kind for that discretion.
 
The next is also about Jester Jinx, who wanted to visit two feasts at two separate towns at once. He ties two ropes to himself and hands them to a villager in each town, telling him to tug on it when their feast is ready. Unfortunately for the trickster both towns start the feast at the same time, causing them to strangle the poor pony. He ends up alive, but passed out, and ends up missing both feasts.
 
“Alright children!” The same old mare Emerald bought his tickets from says, walking in front of the stage as the curtain closes and the clapping dies down, “We will have a small break before the final play. It’s a little longer than the first two, so make sure to use the bathroom if you need, and we have some water and fruit on the table if you’d like it!”
 
“Ooo, free food!” Ruby says.
