Hello, I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction for finding cooking ingredients. I'd like to make a cake, chocolate cake. There's an occasion coming up and I'd like to be able to share something special for it.

So any direction would be appreciated.

[Private to Tyrion]

I was wondering if you'd want to go out with me, it's for my birthday this week. I thought since I am away from home maybe I could go with friends and so far that list is mostly you and Remus.

A pony! WOW really?!!

[As if that's absolutely normal. Then, even less normal, he suddenly pulls out an accordion. ]

♫ Happy happy birthday to you!
I hope it'll be a really great day
And you'll have the best party without delay
'Cause even stuck in space
Your day should be just ace
Aaannnnd
A happy happy birthday to yoooou ♫

Well, thank you, that was quite something.

Do the, eh, ponies usually talk and sing and play music where you're from? It would be a bit unusual where I am from. Centaurs aside of course.

You're welcome.

Sure we do! We burst into random musical numbers plenty of times. It's our thing!

[Oh...wait. Wait though. ]

Did you say centaurs?

[That was not normal pony behavior.]

Yes, there are some who live at my school. Their not very friendly to people though.

[Ugh. Cenaturs. They're the worst. ]

Great to see that's a thing that's the same in other worlds too.

You have centaurs too? Where your from I mean.

They live beyond our borders.

[His ears flick back. ]

The last one that showed up tried to take over. He ripped the magic out of everything and everypony he could.

Oh, well that doesn't sound like ours at all. Most of the ones I knew liked to keep to themselves and stargaze. They were very intent on the stars and what they could tell us.

Oh. Some of the unicorns are like that. I don't know what the other centaurs are like...most of us don't want to.

I'm sorry, you might really like ours then. If you're a talking pony they would surely find you fascinating.

I've learned most beings who aren't talking ponies find talking ponies fascinating.

That... is a very fair point. And how do you find them?

I've got used to them, over the time I'm been living with them. They're pretty okay. Not all that different from ponies, really. Except for the obvious.

Do ponies have magic too, like some humans?

Only the unicorns can cast actual spells. Well...alicorns, too, but the alicorns are something higher. Regular earth ponies like me can't cast spells, I guess the pegasi almost do magic, they control the weather.

Well, I think you're pretty spectacular just as you are, magic or no. And surely making parties better and making people happy is a kind of magic.

[Oh sweet Celestia, Lily you are going to make him cry. DON'T CRY, CHEESE. STAY STRONG. ]

Oh...well. Shucks, thanks! That means a lot. Pinkie thinks it's our own special kind of magic, and I'm happy to have it. It's important that others are happy.
