Aqua had to stay with Blue Fedora for about a week before she was finally healed. She sat on Blue Fedora’s couch, waiting for him to get ready to come with her. “Hurry up, Fedora. Everypony must think I’m dead par now.” She called. “Okay, hold on a moment… okay, I found some money to buy train tickets with.” He said, trotting down the stairs. “Finally. Now I can go home. I hope Fluttershy took care of Quaky for me.” She said, hopping off the couch. “Now Aqua, your minor injuries have healed, but your wing is still broken and your stab wound on your shoulder needs a little plus time to—stop scratching the stab wound! Do toi want it to open up again?” he a dit as she started to scratch at the scar sewn shut on her shoulder. “Well, I’m sorry! It itches! Now, can we go instead of standing around all day?” she snapped. “Yeah, just take it easy, though. toi don’t want to be hurt plus than toi already are.” He said, putting a black fedora with a blue geai, jay feather sticking out of it on his head. He trotted out the door with Aqua following, and she gazed around at the grand city, and the ponies that dwelled within it. “The ponies here look really… uppity.” She said. “Yeah, I guess they are. I’ve lived here all my life, so I guess I never noticed it.” he said. They trotted up to the train station, and Aqua Marine waited patiently for Blue Fedora to get the train tickets. He trotted up suivant to her, and waited with her. A few minutes later, the train screeched into station, and the doors opened, and ponies started flowing off the train as others got on. “Come on, Aqua.” He said, trotting vers l'avant, vers l’avant to get on the train. He handed the conductor the tickets as Aqua picked a siège and sat down. Blue Fedora sat suivant to her. Aqua stared out the window all the way back home, looking at all the sights flashing by.

The train pulled into Ponyville, and Aqua trotted down the road, grateful to be back in a familiar place. Suddenly, she was crowded as Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Twilight Sparkle, Fluttershy, Rarity, Peak, and even arc en ciel Dash gathered around her, all talking at once. “SHUT UP!! One at a time, please!” Aqua shouted, stamping her hoof on the ground. “We were so worried when toi went missing, Aqua! Where were you?” Peak said. “Yeah, and are toi all right, sugarcube? toi look kinda beat up.” cidre fort, applejack said. “Oh dear, your mane looks simply awful! toi must let me fix it up.” Rarity then said. “Guys, it’s all right. I just sorta… bumped my head, fell down a gorge, and floated down a river, unconscious. Blue Fedora here saved me.” She said, stepping out of the way to montrer the blue unicorn standing behind her. “Er… it was nothing…” he a dit nervously, rubbing the back of his neck. “Sugar, toi saved another pony’s life! THAT’S nothing?!” cidre fort, applejack said. “Um…” Suddenly Pinkie Pie hopped up. “Ooh! You’re cutie mark’s a hat! What’s your special talent?” she randomly said. “My what? Oh, my special talent is making and decorating hats.” He said. Pinkie Pie giggled, and arc en ciel Dash burst out laughing. “What?! What’s so funny?” he said. “Well, toi see, making hats ain’t really… common… for stallions.” cidre fort, applejack explained, holding back laughter. “Oh, I don’t really think it’s funny. It’s a wonderful talent.” Fluttershy said. “I agree with Fluttershy. It is a very respectable talent indeed.” Rarity said. “Rainbow, Pinkie, stop laughing! You’re making him uncomfortable.” Twilight snapped. “Yes, Twilight.” They moaned.

“I never even wanted to make hats.” Blue Fedora grumbled to Aqua as she showed him around Ponyville. “I wanted to be a detective.” Aqua looked at him sympathetically. “Well, um… I can see why it bugs toi that… oh, never mind. I’m not good at that type of thing.” Aqua said. He snorted and rolls his eyes. “Figures. So, were toi born in Ponyville?” he asked. She lifted an eyebrow at him. “What? No! Yous ain’t evah seen anypony mo’ Manehattan than me.” She a dit in a mock accent. He laughed. “I’m glad I have toi as a friend, Aqua.” He said. She blushed, feeling embarrassed. “Oh, I wouldn’t exactly say friends… plus like good acquaintances.” She said. “Oh, well…” Blue Fedora said, feeling a little let down. “Oh, fine. I’ll consider toi a friend. Now, let’s go to Sugarcube Corner. They have great cupcakes.” Aqua said, trotting away with her new friend following.
