He was riding next to a Unicorn who seemed nerves when first meeting him, but he seemed to finally relax. They ended up talking and told each other about their marefriends, and to the stallions surprise, he learned that he had a herd. The stallion asked how that was like, and if he could tell him about the mares in the herd.

"Well, one of my marefriends you wouldn't believe me if I just told you." He said, the stallion looking at him.

"Believe me, I've heard plenty of crazy stuff." The stallion said.

"First, let me tell you that I'm dating a mailmare and a lyre player from Ponyville. As for my third marefriend is actually, um, Princess Luna." He said and looked at the stallion who looked like he was about to bust out laughing.

"I-I'm sorry, I do believe you. I heard the Princess was dating somepony, I just didn't expect it to be you, no offense. I just thought she would date a pony, but I think I can understand why she might be interested in you. So, is that why you're going to Canterlot? To visit her?" The stallion asked.

"Yeah, so you just believe me just like that though?" He asked.

"I see no reason why you would lie about something like that, is she a good kisser?" The stallion asked with a bit of a smirk.

"That's a bit personal isn't it?" He asked.

"Only asking, so how did you meet her?" The stallion asked.

"During Nightmare Night, she came to Ponyville and we started talking and realized we had quite a bit in common with each other. We became pen pals after that mostly, then I was jumped by three stallions and she came to visit me after I got out of the hospital. She ended up telling that she'll stay with me for a week to take care of me, and during that week we ended up getting together." He said, giving a little smile.

"Wow, well that makes sense. Ponyville was the place where she was healed right?" The stallion asked.

"Yeah, it's where Nightmare Moon was defeated by the Elements of Harmony." He said.

''Well I hope you and her are happy together." The stallion said.

"So, why are you going to Canterlot? Do you live there? Or do you have family there or something?" He asked.

"Oh, my brother lives there. But me and my wife were wanting to take a little vacation there." The stallion said.

"Your wife? How come you haven't been sitting with her then?" He asked.

"She's flying there, though I wish she wouldn't because she's pregnant." The stallion said giving a sigh.

"That's something I agree with, oh and I forgot. During this entire time, you never told me your name." He said facepalming.

"Heh, right, I'm Ginger." The stallion said.

"Well, it's nice to finally know your name." He said giving Ginger a friendly smile. "So, you're gonna have a kid?"

"Yup, we won't be able to know if it's a boy or a girl until she has the egg." Ginger said.

"An egg?" He asked.

"Yeah, she's a Griffin. A good part of the pregnancy is through the egg," Ginger said.

"Huh, well I wish you good luck then, raising a little one will be hard work. At least from what I heard anyways," he said.

"Yup, sure is difficult, trust me on that one. This would be my second foal, I hope we get a little Griffin this time." Ginger said, giving a little hopeful smile.

"Well, I hope you get your wish." He said. "Though, I didn't know ponies could be born from eggs."

"It can be weird like that with Griffin women." Ginger said. "So, do you want some foals of your own?'

"Um well, it's a bit early for that. But yeah I do hope I can have a foal, but if it's even possible." He said giving a sigh.

"Why wouldn't it be possible?" Ginger asked.

"Well I'm the only one of my kind here, so I don't know if it'll be possible." He answered.

"I'm sure it's possible, and if it's not you could always adopt." Ginger said.

"Yeah, I guess." He said. "But as I said, it's too early to think about that."

"I guess you're right, but it's good to know that you at least want foals. When your marefriends hear that, it'll make them happy." Ginger said.

"Probably, shoot what I'm surprised that I told a complete stranger pretty much." He said, both of them giving a little laugh.

"Eh, sometimes talking is good. Besides, as I said at least you know that you want foals in the future." Ginger said.

"Guess so, but anyways what are you planning on doing when you get to Canterlot?" He asked.

"Probably going to visit the palace, then the gardens, but we have a nice little reservation at a nice little restaurant. Then we're gonna go look at some clothes. for foals." Ginger said. "And you?"

"Well, as you figured, I'm gonna go visit my marefriend. I'll probably just eat there as well," he said.

"Shoot, who knows? We might see each other while we're at the place, and if that happens then I'll introduce you to my wife." Ginger said.

"That'll be nice, what's her name by the way?" He asked.

"Oh, her name is Tallia." Ginger replied.

"That's a nice name," he said.

"Yup sure is. I think she'll like you," Ginger said.

"Hope so, because I'm kind of tired of the nobles looking down on me just because I'm not a pony." He said.

"Ah, that's something you and Tallia have in common." Ginger said.

"I do hope I get to meet her, what can you tell me about her?" He asked.

"Oh, she's pregnant, so right now she's not exactly that easy to describe. But like most griffins I suppose, she is a bit stubborn about stuff, but that can describe a lot of ponies. But the reason why I fell for her is that she stood up for me quite often when we were in school." Ginger said giving a smile that said he was remembering it fondly.

"So, you've been together since you were that young?" He asked.

"Oh yeah, we pretty much grew up together. We didn't get together though until we were much older," Ginger said.

"Well at least you two knew each other for a lot longer than most," he said.

"Says the one who started a herd in less than a week," Ginger said giving him a little smirk.

"That's why I said what I did, but at the same time love can be different for everypony." He said.

"So true, now tell me about your other two marefriends. You told me about how you and the Princess got together, and since I told you about how I met my wife, I want to hear about your other two mares." Ginger said.

"Ah, well then I should tell you about Lyra first. You see I met her at a party that was thrown for me, you know a welcome party. She became my best friend, we pretty much told each other everything. She even broke up with her marefriend, you see her marefriend had done something that she thought went too far. I really do feel sorry for them both, they had been together so long, but I think I wouldn't have gotten her, as bad as that sounds." He said.

"And she's the lyre player right?" Ginger asked.

"Yup, really good too. As for the last one, her name is Derpy and she's very sweet and loving. She actually has a little filly of her own," he said.

"Oh, so you might just end up being a dad just like that then." Ginger said.

"Yeah, you could say that. You see I met her when she ended up crashing into me one day while I was in the library. It was an accident, she stayed and asked me a bunch of questions. It was kind of cute, I ended up asking her out when I got a cast off after I broke my ankle and went to visit a nice little filly. She was at the hospital to deliver a letter from the filly's classmates, and before we went to visit the filly she went to the bathroom and when she came out she was being harassed by a doctor. I couldn't stand for it, so I stepped in and saved her by asking her out." He said.

"Well, that's an interesting way to ask somepony out. But at least you saved her from that doctor," Ginger said.

"Yeah, she's been great too. She knows how to cheer me up to, don't know what its about her, she just has a bubbly personality." He couldn't help the smile on his face.

"It definitely sounds like you're in love all right," Ginger said.

"Not gonna lie, I love all three so much. They all helped me in some way or another," he said.

"That's good, though just be careful, nobles can be difficult like we said. It did sound like you already had some experience with them." Ginger said.

"Yeah, I do. I came here during Hearth Warmings Eve. So I do have some experience with them," he said.

"So that's good, most usually don't handle nobles well." Ginger said.

"Most of them act like little children, so that's what you have to treat them like." He said.

"More like spoiled kids," Ginger said making both of them laugh.

They sat there in silence for a little while, though they started talking again. Though this time they were telling each other some jokes, and about their favorite places to eat in Canterlot. It ended up making both of them hungry though, so they switched back to telling each other jokes, which got them to tell some stories about themselves.

"So wait, you and Tallia spilled wine on him on purpose? I got to say, he sounds like he deserved it." He said laughing a little.

"Oh, he did. He just kept complaining about how this mare who had a cake dumped on her yelled at him and shook herself off getting it on him. So we got tired of it, and gave him something new to complain about." Ginger said laughing. "We were never invited to another one of his party's, though who would want to go to that red stallion's house again?"

"I know I wouldn't, especially if he insulted me, even indirectly." He said.

"So, you have any interesting party stories?" Ginger asked.

"Well, this one party I ended up eating all of the chips." He said.

"What's wrong with that?" Ginger asked.

"I ate them while drunk dancing on the table," he said making both of them laugh again.

"Wow, just wow. I didn't think you were one of those drunks." Ginger said wiping his eyes.

"Hey, I loosen up quite a bit when I'm drunk. Everyone loves it when I get drunk because they don't know what will happen." He said.

"So wait, you do completely random things when your drunk?" Ginger asked.

"Usually never the same thing," he answered.

"That's interesting to hear, maybe if me and Tallia come to Ponyville sometime we can get you drunk and see what happens." Ginger said.

"I'll like that, and I think Pinkie would too. She enjoys any excuse to throw a party," he said.

"Well, I really do hope we get a chance. It does sound like we would really enjoy a stay there," Ginger said.

"Just send me a letter or something and let me know, so I can set a few things up for you." He said.

"It's a deal then, though it might be a good minute before we get the chance to visit. After all, we just used our vacation time to come here to visit family and everything." Ginger said.

"That's fine, just can't wait to have you visit." He said.

"So, what do you think your two other marefriends are doing right now?" A little smirk spread on my face.

"Oh, I have an idea. But it's not exactly my place to tell you," he said making Ginger give a little snicker.

"Well, I'm sure they had fun so far. What about the Princess?" Ginger asked.

"Oh, she's probably sleeping right now. From what she told me about her time in Night Court, she gets pretty exhausted." He said.

"Yup, dealing with some nobles can do that." Ginger said.

"Yeah, though one that I'm hoping to meet sometime is Fancy Pants. He seems to be alright," he said.

"Oh yeah, he is. I actually met him before. Oh, and once we stop would you like to meet Tallia and go to dinner with us if she doesn't mind?" Ginger asked.

"That would be great actually," he replied.

"That's great to hear because I honestly do think you and Tallia will get along just great!" Ginger said, giving him a big smile. "She'll be waiting for me when we arrive, honestly can't wait till you two meet."

"I can't wait till I meet her to if she's married to you that counts for something. Though, I do find it funny that we only just met a few hours ago and you just invited me to dinner with you and your wife on your vacation." He said.

"Well, someponies are just nice like that you know?" Ginger said rolling his eyes.

"I know, I know. But still, I would feel like I'm intruding on your vacation. It doesn't feel right to me," he said.

"It's alright, believe me on that. If anything, your presence will make the dinner entertaining. No offense, but I want to see what others think when they see us three together. I mean a unicorn, a Griffin, and a human walk into a fancy place? Kind of sounds like a set up to a joke or something." Ginger said.

"It kind of does, and hey when you think of the punch line let me know because I might want to use it a few times." He gave a smile to the unicorn.

"Can do, and hey maybe you work on one to and see if we can't compare?" Ginger suggested.

"Yeah, maybe I will. Bet mine will be better though," he said.

"You're on, five bits?" Ginger asked.

"Five bits, deal." He replied shaking the hoof.

"I just hope neither one of us regrets it," Ginger said.

"You sound like you won this already." He said.

"Sorry, can't help it. I want those five bits now." Ginger said.

"You and me both," he said. "So, your brother lives in Canterlot right?"

"Yeah, he is a bit of a cameraman. Worked for Photo Finish," Ginger said.

"Huh, well that's cool. But what does he do now?" He asked.

"He's still doing photo shoots. Mostly for fashion shows in Canterlot," Ginger said.

"Attention, attention, the train will be stopping in about ten minutes. Please make sure you have all of your carry on luggage, thank you." The announcer said.

"Well, sounds like our stop is coming up. Don't forget our bet." Ginger reminded him.

"I won't if you won't," he said.
