A Special Surprise (8 page)

PS (Princess Stardust):
Oh yes, Tulip! Their world is very funny because the humans talk but the ponies don’t. Well, not unless someone from Chevalia is around. Our magic lets the ponies talk. It’s amazing!

TI:
I’m sure it is! Ponies that don’t talk – it just seems so unnatural. Did you go there for a special reason?

PS:
I was upset when I thought my family had forgotten my birthday. I missed my best girl friend, Pippa, and thought visiting her would cheer me up. So I rubbed noses with Cloud and flew there!

TI:
Oh yes! Your sister is the famous flying pony. So what’s it like to fly?

PS:
At first, it was very scary, but then I got used to it and it was wonderful. I soared through the clouds and then above them! I flew over the sparkling sea below and followed the magic of Pippa’s tiara all the way to the coast of the human world.

TI:
What kind of adventures did you have when you got there?

PS:
Pippa’s bedroom wasn’t big enough for me, so she took me to a riding stables! Although they were fllthy and unsuitable for a Princess Pony, the ponies boarding there were very nice, just not accustomed to royalty. So I trotted out into the fields to sleep under the stars, and that's when something terrible happened.

TI:
Oh no! Tell us more.

PS:
Divine followed me to the human world, then she magically shrunk the stable ponies and took them back to Chevalia.

TI:
How frightening!
