As the three of you sit on… mushrooms, looking at the spotted patterns and wondering if it’s real, menus appear out of nowhere. “Hello Twilight and guests…” A pony wearing a suit front, but no suit, along with cuffs and slick blue hair is next to the table. “I’m guessing this is the alien I’ve heard so much about? Well, any customer with Twilight is fine with me.” Flipping through the pages, you realize you can’t read this language. At least you can speak it, who knows what being here would be like without that.
 
“They never have any jewels…” Spike says, annoyed, without even looking at his options. “I’ll just have another order of extra crispy hay fries…”
 
“A daisy sandwich with raspberry cream soda.” The purple pony says, also not looking at her menu. Seems like they know this place well.
 
You decide to take a stab in the dark. “Um, a glass of milk, two grilled cheese, and tomato soup.” Giving the waiter a smile while he looks at you, he eventually takes the menus and leaves. Now waiting for the food, you decide to ask some questions. “So Twilight, I didn’t know you ponies could do magic. Do you think it’ll be possible to teach me to do some?”
 
“…you don’t have magic on your planet?” She asks.
 
Spike pips in, “That’s what I said too.”
 
“I wonder what an entire planet without it is like… how does your star go around your planet?” That didn’t even make sense. “Well, couldn’t hurt to try. My special talent is magic after all, if anypony could teach you, it’s me. Honestly, I wasn’t sure the teleportation spell would work.”
 
“My world is pretty barren. We substitute magic with electricity. Do you know what that is?” Taking a look around, there aren’t any electrical poles or anything that looks like it runs on it.
 
“Of course, it’s a natural occurring scientific fact. We can harness it, but there’s no need to like it sounds humans do. I guess you could do so if there wasn’t magic.” She ponders. “An electric driven planet… I need to remember to bring paper when I’m around you Anon.” Looking down at nothing in particular, Twilight talks to herself out loud. “Everything runs on electricity… how can you move the sun with that? I bet when we go there, we can use it too…”
 
Deciding to break her thoughts, you say, “It’s hard to wrap my head around how some things can be magic and some things aren’t. Does a powerful unicorn make things fall down or gravity?”
 
With a giggle, she answers, “No Anon, gravity is another natural force. Do they not teach science there? I would think if humans do everything on electricity, it would be very important to understand.” Maybe you should have listened more in school. Maybe Twilight isn’t seeing things from your side, speaking in the matter-of-fact style. “Mmm, the amount of science that will be acquired…” saying while staring at the sky and spacing out. Maybe she isn’t the most socially graceful pony… Giving Spike a questioning look, he just nods and rolls his eyes. Seems like he has to put up with this all the time.
 
“It usually takes a little while for food to get here, right? Think we could try some magic before we eat… what time is it… lunch?” This snaps the daydreamer out of her’s and into yours of being a sorcerer.
 
“Oh, sure! What do you want to do?” You give a shrug. “Okay, try this.” A flower from the vase levitates out and lays in front of you. She just smiles and waits. Not knowing what else to do, you concentrate on it. Imagine the flower moving… floating up… see it in your mind… with every last fiber of your being focusing, the flower moves up. Before you burst with happiness, you notice Twilight is doing it from the glow of the flower and her horn. She puts it back with the rest nonchalantly. “Food’s here.” Maybe you’ll try later…
