Blitzen's mood fell long before Ponyville came into view out of the windows of the train. Rainbow Dash had tried to reassure her, but the pegasus didn't understand why Blitzen was coming back to Ponyville. To be honest, Blitzen didn't understand it herself.

Somehow this strange human, with her shining metal and soulful blue eyes, had gotten past all the walls that Blitzen had put up over the years. She didn't want anypony getting close to her, didn't want to care about anypony.

Now I'm fretting over how Eleanor is getting along with her fellow humans and I'm worried that Eleanor might say something to cause them to decide she is a threat. I'm not sure what I'd do if that happened, but I shouldn't even be worried about this at all. What is wrong with me?

Finally the train arrived at Ponyville.

I think I know what I'll do. There's a glass bottom I need to visit. And a bit of salt to make things easier.

She made an excuse to Eleanor and left the train station as quickly as she could.

Once away from the station old habits took over and she navigated the familiar streets of her old home. She stuck to out of the way paths to her destination not wanting to be seen by anypony she used to know.

I hope I don't run into Caramel or Cheerilee. I don't think I'm ready to tell them I've come back. And Merciful Celestia don't let me run into Rose... I can't face her. Not now.

Eventually her destination was in sight. The Grain Bucket. Time enough to have a drink or two and then go looking for a place to stay.

Just a tiny bit I did a while ago. It goes between chapters four and five, but I've not figured out how to move it there. Real life continues to slow things but I am working on getting the next chapter finished.
