-- And yes, 500 rows of lumber. Yes, to be delivered to Sweet Apple Acres.

All right... how much for the canvas?

Yes... yes... I have the payment here. Have it delivered to the south fallow fields. Yes. Three thousand nails, and a hammer. Yes. Pitch, yes.

.... yes I want that, yes please, good.

Have it all delivered as soon as possible. I would like to get started as soon as possible. How many days? Yes, I can wait that long.

Anything else?

Yes, that would do. I need that propeller. And that furnace.

Thank you, have it shipped as soon as possible. It will be payment at the door.

Of course. Thank you.

Oh paint? Of course, let us get thirteen gallons of fire-wagon red.

That'll be how much? Surely you cannot make a Royal Discount? I know I am not on the seat, I am borrowing some money after all for this venture.

... Fine. I can do that much. Very well. Thank you for the time.

[Irritated, Luna hung up on whatever she was talking to through.] This will take some doing... I hope the weather does not turn sour in the next few days.

.....That sounds like quite the order. Exactly what are you building?

Tis a complex surprise! It will be wonderful!

....Darling, the words 'complex' and surprise strung together in the same sentence make me worry.

Tis an airship! A rudimentary propelled hot air balloon attached to the body of a actual ship. Back home, there is much air travel, albeit limited for the richer and shipping.

It was first presented to us by the famed designer Newhoof Gimmick, and he has pioneered a modern age of air travel thus far. We believe that while our other self has suggested strongly against regular engine-driven, a modified hot air balloon would suffice for ponies without wings to travel on.

That... would be quite the surprise. Exactly who are you intending it for?

Ideally I wish to present it to my native sister and myself. With specific guidelines, a airship system can be built on cheap and supplemented by our shipwrights.

I see. Well, I am sure they will appreciate the thoughtfulness behind it at the very least.

Who knows, perhaps you shall convince them to put such a ship into production.

Indeed! It is surprising on how much technology we are missing from this Equestria and mine. It really is quite odd that so much is gone. Video games, televisions, phones, planes...

Is there really that much of a difference?

For one such as myself, there is a lot missing. Even power lines from the hydroelectric dam seem to be scarce at times. Even if Ponyville has working lights they also use firefly lamps there.

Tis only something that has been at the back of my head for a while now.

...You know, I never thought to take notice of what kind of lights we use. I simply knew they worked.

I suppose there is a lot that may need a little improving over time.

Indeed. I intend to improve just by small bits here and there. Nothing overtly advanced, but could use some fine-tuning as it were. It would benefit our quality of life here.

You may be right. It shall be interesting to see your improvements in action and how they are received.

Hopefully with acceptance rather than disdain, but I am not introducing anything military at any rate.

Well, that is rather fortunate to hear. I really do hope you will succeed.

Thank you Rarity. Oh, also I met this young charming filly. She needs guidance. I was hoping to bring her along during tea, if that is fine? She is apparently a Mayfield Survivor like Twilight and her friends.

Oh? I don't see why it should be an issue in the slightest if you feel this little filly needs some guidance.

May I ask who she is?

Her name is Sasami, and is royalty from her own world. However, she has been separated from her own family both from her world and in Mayfield. Normally I would ask one of the Mayfield natives to watch over her, but it appears they have their hands full.

She seeks power, though it is for her own comfort than anything else. I would like to teach her some of the manners of the court, and I seek a teacher in graces. You may have noticed, mine are very lax in private.

"No, I haven't noticed in the slightest." A jest of course. Rarity knew exactly what Luna meant. "I would be thrilled to help out in any way I can Luna. It would be a pleasure so please, bring her along and we can begin lessons."

Of course! I will let you know when she's warmed up to the idea. She is a precious child and I would love to get her started when she is comfortable here. The little one is a blank flank and it might cause friction with her peers other than Apple Bloom and her friends.

Oh my, then yes. Please let me know when she's warmed up to the idea. I would simply love to have her.

Good good! I will let you know when she is ready then. Until then, our tea still on for next week?

Of course, tea is still on for next week. I see no reason to change that.

Good good! I will let her know before then and we can make further arrangements.
