"Well Bygone, I recently joined the Equestria Army so I can train to improve my spell casting ability. It's been though, but not impossible."
She was then interrupted by the sound of Puck's growling stomach. "Oh I'm sorry, Puck. You said that you were going to have lunch with your mother. You don't have to stay for our sakes."

"WHAT! I mean, I'm sorry about that, I... what?! I, uh, didn't see that coming, Apporta... I wasn't aware that the Army was actively recruiting or anyting. Are they? That's surprising, I wonder what they're worried about..."
Bygone's mind was pulled back down to earth when Apporta and Puck both spoke. Feeling suddenly sheepish, he took a step back.
"I'm sorry, was I interrupting something about lunch? I shouldn't keep you any longer, if that's what you were planning."

Puck opened his mouth and closed it. His ears lowered. Indeed he was interrupted. He had just invited Apporta to come along with him. He would have invited Bygone as well, but...well he'd just met and...well, Puck was simply confused. He stood for a moment with one foreleg crossed over the other, looking down and away wondering desperately what to do. In the end he simply gave an audible sigh and said. "Yes, I shall be on my way then..." He slowly turned and began to trot away.

Apporta didn't know what to do. She knew Bygone and had not seen him in a while. On the other hoof, she just met Puck and didn't want him to feel like he was being tossed aside. "Puck," Apporta called out to him as he started walking away, "You don't have to go if you don't want to. You can stay and talk to both of us." It was the only thing that Apporta could think of. The rest was up to Puck.

"I haveth the solution!" Puck darted off. A few minutes later, he returned with a trio of minced pumpkin pies balanced on his muzzle.

Darn it, I messed up even more. I didn't mean... shucks.
Bygone was about to call out, but stopped himself. What point was there? He'd already driven Puck away, or so he thought- was that pumpkin?
He watched as the smaller pony returned with not one, but three pumpkin pies. Bygone's spirits lifted; at least he didn't goof up too much.
"Thanks a bunch, Puck. I didn't mean to sound like I wanted you to go away... Sorry about that."

Apporta was surprised that Puck returned with some pies. It was the perfect way for her and Bygone to still talk with him while at the same time not having Puck starve. "Wow Puck. Thank you for the pies. Are you sure your mother won't mind?"

"She doesn't, she beith happy that I hath made friends." Puck said plainly. then paused. "I am making friends, right?"

"Well, Puck, I don't see why not," chuckled Bygone as he munched on the scrumptious pumpkin pie. "You seem like a pretty nice guy; I'd love to be your friend."

Apporta was surprised that Puck was wondering if he was making friends. Did this pony have friends before? did he have trouble making friends? "Yes, Puck. I would say that you made some good friends with us. And yes Bygone, the army, at least the mages branch is, or at least, was, recruiting. I'm not sure what is going on, but it is a way for me to improve my abilities and help ponies at the same time. So, besides writing about things you see on the streets of Canterlot, what else do you like to do, Puck?"

"What do I do besides write?" Puck gave a pause to take a bite of his pie. He chewed for a minute and then swallowed. He still was silent. Finally he cleared his throat and nervously said. "There beith things to do in this world besides write?"

Bygone's eyebrow shot up.
"You, uh, don't do anything besides write?" O...kay. I mean, if that's what floats your boat. I love history and all, but I don't think I could handle studying it all the time."

Apporta was just as shocked as Bygone when hearing that all Puck did was write. "Well there are many things to do aside from writing. There are things you can do outdoors like playing sports, going for a walk, or just stiing around and enjoying nature. There's also shopping, playing with friends, dancing, drawing. Really there are plenty of things to do! I'm not saying writing is a bad thing, especially if that's your talent, but there are other thing out there."

Puck thought of this for a while "Well, I beith but a tiny pony and I do not sports or dancing quite well. I do enjoy walks and nature, but in quiet, I find that beith the best time to put to parchment some of mine finest adventures..."

"It's okay, Puck. I mean, you don't have to be great at everything."
An idea struck Bygone.
"Wait a sec, we could show you some other stuff right now, if you wanted! I'm sure there's lots of interesting things going on around here that you could do."
