Mister The Dragon
Jan. 21st, 2016 11:57 pmI received a letter from Princess Cadence today and in it she knocked two things off my checklist. First off, she said she had room for us at the castle, but we'll have to double up as she has only three rooms left! I think that supports my guess that there will be a lot of ponies at the festival. So we have a place to stay. Accommodations, check. We won't have to pack winter camping gear.
She also wrote to say that Spike is invited to be a Guest of Honor. Seeing if the crystal ponies wanted Spike to make an appearance was the other item that was on my checklist. It turns out that we won't have to track down the festval organizers after all, there will be an honor guard waiting for Spike at the train station. When Princess Cadence learned that Spike was joining us, she told her advisers, and well, there you go. This is pretty exciting for Spike. To help him calm his nerves a bit, I asked him to tell our friends that we'll be staying at the castle and that he will be participating in the Festival as a Guest of Honor. That worked well. Telling the same story five times in a row gentles a pony down nice and easy. Unless you're Pinkie.
