[The doors of the shuttle open and Cheese peeks out. Oops, that is one dead bear. You don;t live as a drifter in a land like Equestria where literally everything wants to eat you without being a little blasé about keeping yourself (and others) safe.

Still, wow. No one tell Fluttershy. She'd kick his ass.

He turns to look at Sora, waving a hoof. Let's just...ignore the dead bear. Yeah. ]

You okay?

[Yeah luckily growing up in a world where there was always a chance the friendly pokemon could turn on you and kill you - you learn not to get too attached to stray animals that are trying to kill you.]

[So once he's over the initial shock of this...weirdly colored ponyta crashing into a bear and killing it, he'll be jumping down from the tree]

Y-Yeah. Thanks. Guess I shouldn't have doubted your plan!

[Oh well, better the bear than one of them. Cheese pats the side of the shuttle.]

These things are great of helping folks out. You need a ride back to your ship?

[What a friendly homocidal Ponyta.]

Oh- sure! If you don't mind! I think I have bad luck with the wildlife out here.

[At least he's not being quizzed about being a talking horse. He can live with being mistaken for something out if he doesn't have to explain THAT all over again. ]

I think some of them are pretty hungry. I've just stayed out of their way. Stuck to my ship, mostly.

[Largely because as much as he loves wandering, it's not fun in a desolate, toxic wasteland. ]

Yeah...good call. You'd probably be a prime steak dinner for them.

[Sure is heading for the shuttle now]

[He'll budge over, and at least there's plenty of room. Being a tiny pony has its advantages. ]

And that would put a crimp in anypony's day. The name's Cheese Sandwich.

[And with how small Sora is himself, it'll be an easy fit. Aw yeah. But he'll smile at him as he buckles himself in]

I'm Sora. Nice to meet ya, Cheese! [Odd name, but considering his own name he knows very well not to talk] Thanks again for the save!

[Sora you are earning all the brownie points today. Cheese closes the shuttle up and starts to pilot it back towards civilisation.]

Don't mention. And here's you not pointing out I'm a talking pony or the fact my name's apparently weird. You, little buddy, are a rare breed.

Really?

[He runs his hand through his hair as he gives a chuckle]

Well, awhile ago animals just started...talking to me, so I guess I'm too used to it to think much of it. [The piloting shuttle is new, but you know what? Whatever] And I'm not one to talk about the name.

Really. It gets really, really, really reeaaaaaaally grating after a while.

Huh, how about that. I think I can live with that.

[He'll just glance over his shoulder and squint. ]

I don't see much wrong with 'Sora'.

[Says the equine named after a foodstuff. ]

Well it's-

[He hesitates. His tiny bit of pride is at stake after all]

Promise not to tell anyone?

[He'll take a hoof off the steering wheel to cross over his heart. ]

Swear on Camembert!

[That is the ONE OF MOST SERIOUS PROMISES IN THE WORLD. Only a Pinkie Promise is stronger.]

[...Lucky for Cheese, Sora is a hick who knows nothing about different cheese types- so he'll just assume it's something important]

Right, okay.

[Deep breath!]

My full name's supposed to be Niniji Sora. [Depending on name order anyway] It means "Double Rainbow Sky".

[A beat; and then to explain since he is talking to a pony named Cheese Sandwih]

It's not really a great human name.

[There's just a slow blink from Cheese. ]

Oh. Because that would be a pretty regular pony name.

I don't get why humans are so tense about names anyway, it's unique and I think it sounds pretty awesome. If they can't see that, that's their problem.
