The twins bounced on their hooves, each bouncing when the other lands, excited that she's doing so well. "We would be delighted to!" Shanna smiles "Our parents can arrange a short leave of absence from our duties. How soon were you thinking of doing so?" The twins laugh as she asks for food Hoss grins "Yes, the inn has a dining room down stairs if you have no special preferences. I'll go get Starflower if you want to go on down with Shanna..."

The twins yelped and jumped up in surprise, waking up quickly and seeing the unicorn laughing. The pair looked at her and giggled, then Shanna ohhhed in surprise as the water was pulled off them by Aqua's powers. "I would guess you are feeling a lot better. Nurse Starflower was greatly concerned you were almost empty of power and gave you some of her magic energy to help." Hoss awwed "And we cant shake water back on you from our wings..." and chuckled.

Awesome idea and sounds like you've solved "How the hay do we realistically judge this?" I will think over the next two days who's going to run for me...

(ooc; I'll go ahead and give another reply, then see if Aqua wants to make a dream post or other) Hoss nickered "We both tried, but Shanna went directly to the Town Hall as I followed Aqua." The young mare nodded "Yes, the Town Hall was closed when I got there, but I managed to attract the attention of passersby who came aong to help. they pointed us to this Inn. I'm afraid we arent from Ponyville. Are there lawponies or clops for this town?" Hoss shook his head "As for the wagon, I'm afraid she has some magical locks that clicked on when she passed out. it's going nowhere until she comes for it."

Ok, so how do I make a picture appear in the message body of a post now? I cant find the BB codes for some reason.

Shanna nodded "I am Shanna Skybright and that's my brother, Hoss. We stopped at her wagon which had a strange unicorn lingering there. He was huge and wearing clothing like out west, and a live rattlesnake on his hat. Hoss knew something was wrong, but I was giving him the benefit of the doubt, until he swore on the Nightmare... She shook her mane "Anyway she heavily used her powers over water to expose him for what he was..." Hoss chuckled "...And get him cleaned up in the process..." Shanna shivered and swatted him with her wing "Yuck! Anyway, he vanished into thin air, like into a shadow as he refered to endless night, not a flash and pop like a teleportation, and apparently stole everything from her wagon. We then searched for him, with her in the lead, all her energy focused on finding him and punishing him. He got scared enough to secretly return everything and she collapsed once she saw she didnt have to chase him anymore tonight." Shanna whewed "Is that Shadow magic anything you heard of? Do I have to worry about him finding me?" Hoss's hackles raised as he snorted angrily "Wait, why would you need to worry about him?" He gasped and looked at her as she blushed and looked down to the floor "Oh wait a minute, you promised to kiss him if he went into the water just so we could get him away from her wagon! Those Appleoosan types take that pretty seriously, dont they." She blushed even brighter and made a Fluttershy squeak and nod. "T-the water... it turned black! W-what's his breath like? Ewww!"

(OOC: spurred on over by Mojo ^_^ ) Hoss and Shanna were visting Fillydelphia for the first time, sent to research recently uncovered Astronomical observations from a century before. Some of the students there mentioned a party happening nearby that evening. Hoss poked his sister with a wing "You thinking what I'm thinking?" Shanna grinned "Yeah, I need a break from all these books too..." They jumped up and high-hoofed each other "PARTY TIME!" They arrived as Big Tme started his speech, swooping in through the door and landing near the largest crowd. Shanna whoops and prances on her back hooves to the music. "A raffle? Sweet!" Meanwhile Hoss was tossing his tail eagerly "Woah! That's Jubilee! I heard her play at the last Cloudsdale street party! I'll get an autograph. Can you pick me up a ticket too sis? Pay you back on the spot, I'm gonna be busy for a minute." He smoothed his mane and trotted over, making the blue metal ring on his ponytail jingle. Shanna shook her mane "Boys!.." and trotted over to buy some tickets. Hoss stopped as he got close to Jubilee, notebook and quill tucked under a wing. Seeing she was fussing over a confused unicorn filly, he hoped he wasnt intruding. "Oh M-miss Jubilee..."

The twins watch in awe as the unicorn quickly gets to work "Gee, we had no idea it was that dangerous! We would have asked for help at the front desk right away if we had known it was more than simple exhaustion." Shanna noses up to Starflower "That was amazing! Are you all right? do you need anything?" They gasp and nicker in relief as Aqua sits up, then Hoss pulls a blanket over her when she falls asleep again "So all she needs now is sleep? How can we thank you? I'm sure she will thank you as well when she wakes up..."

Thank you very much for making a profile image icon of it for me. Now does BB code work or still exist here? I was hoping to see the snails pic appear automatically instead of the address when I posted it. will I have to add the tags manually? (speaking as someone unfamiliar with codes and tags)

Hoss ruffled his wings as he left his room. Now settled in with his saddlebags by the bed, he came out intending on going to the register desk and seeing if any medical ponies were guesting here or how to contact one. He nickered "Oh excuse me." as he moved to one side, about to walk around a unicorn mare... He suddenly stopped with an audible screech like car brakes, seeing a stethiscope around her neck. "Oh! Pardon me, but are you a medical pony? We are helping a traveling unicorn salespony who spent all her energy trying to catch a thief tonight. She's completely out of it. My sister is staying with her in her room to assist her." Meanwhile Shanna watched as the unicorn's eyes twitched in dreams. "I hope her dreams are more pleasant than mine might be...."

The twins occasionally looked at each other as they watched the shop owner put an ancient looking piece of pottery back together. Even when he was done setting the piece, he gave no indication he was even aware of them yet. They watched as he put his atention on the tuba and it's owner. Hoss nodded toward the owner "Well at least we know he can work with brass." Shanna twitched her ears "Yes. Well, go see how long our wait will be. Meanwhile, I'll go meet the zebress. I havent' talked to one in years." Hoss nodded and clopped up near the shop owner, but keeping out of the way as he waited for the tuba owner to reply before giving a nickering "Ahem." Shanna took the moment to clop over to the veiled mare and the gold adorned zebra mare. "Good morning, I'm Shanna Skybright. Have you mares been waiting long?" She nodded apologetially to Zecora "I would greet you properly in your tongue but I've not met a zebra since I was a foal and I'm afraid I would mangle it too badly now."

Shanna and Hoss bowed their thanks to Savory. "That smells amazing!" they chorused. Turning back to the professor, they smiled "Oh thank you professor!" "Yes, that's awfully great of you!" Hoss nickered and ate his dessert "Well i'm glad that the dragon wont likely follow you here. Have you done any work on telescopes or weather devices?" Shanna nodded beside her brother "Yes, I've heard somepony is working on telescopes using mirrors for more viewing power in the same tube length. is that anything you are involved in?"

The twins gasped, with Hoss snapping out both wings to catch her. Shanna moved around him to check her over "Oh dear, she's as drained as dad when he untwists a tornado by himself. Lets get her somewhere to sleep right away." Hoss knelt down flat to the ground "Get her up on my back so we can get her to an inn. Hopefully we can find a medical pony there to give her a look, too." Shanna nodded and slipped her forehooves under Aqua and eased her up on Hoss' back. Shanna then did a check of the wagon, finding it magically locked. "All right, that will be fine by itself for now." With the help of the possie they were pointed to the nearest inn, and set her on a bed. Shanna elected to stay in the room with her while Hoss took the next room... (want me to see if Mojo pony wants to bring his nurse char in? )

Hoss hovered over Aqua the whole way in case he saw the unicorn from his higher viewpoint. He muttered "Aw come on! Hes white and now he's clean. I should be able to see him a mile away!" He sighed, wondering just how good the outlaw life was at teaching stealthyness... Shanna finally caught up to them at the train yard with several random ponies in tow. "I thought I had him but it was some unicorn colt, black with red mane, and wearing a cloak. I didn't think the spooktacular was that soon, or he's just wierd." Hoss neighed as Aqua found the shack left open. *Snifff* "Ugh, yeh, that was him in there all right..." 0_o In moments, the possie of technicolor ponies raced along behind Aqua, stopping in surprise as the trail led back to her wagon. Everypony waited with baited breath as she checked the wagon, finding everything returned -with interest. Shanna nickered to the ponies "Thanks for your help everypony! Be sure you lock your doors tonight." Shanna shivered in worry, imagining having to look under her bed for a huge, rugged outlaw, owed a kiss... She shook her head "Ugh, that thought sounds like a "Rose Papilion" romance..." (+5 internets if anypony gets the ref... ;P ) Hoss clopped closer to Aqua "You look beat. Would you like help finding an inn and dinner?"

All right, here we go again, testing with Snails... http://www.canterlot.com/index.php?/gallery/image/189-bh-canterlot-snails1/

MyLittlePonyTails; There is no Clear Selection or Upload buttons, and where do I create an album at? I will try firefox nd see what happens but I will need to find where to create an album too. *edit* Apparently the new forum has issues with my version of Internet Exploder. Under Firefox, I am now getting options of "Select Album" and "New Album". Hopefully I will be posting pics in a few minutes... *edit 2* I must report that apparently the blank bar I saw in IE is what was supposed to be the field "Selected album" appears in, and the second of two bars with a "browse" button was supposed to be "Clear Section" or "upload". If anyone reading this is seeing what I saw, maybe this will help you.

Name: Unable to upload to the gallery. Section: Gallery Operating System: Windows XP, and Internet Eplorer 7.0.6000.17099 Description: Severity: gamebreaker. Reproduction steps: I go to the gallery and click on upload in the upper right corner and an taken to a page headed; Canterlot.com-->Gallery-->Upload Media. there is a blank bar undeneath it where it would appear text would go but clicking on it does not allow anything to be added there. beneath that are two bars, both with buttons marked "Browse" clicking there brings up the box that lets me search my laptop for the pics I had uploaded before. Expected result: once one or more boxes have a location to grab from, I assume the button would switch to "upload" or somethign similar, or a seperate button to appear. Actual result: Nothing happens, even when I hit "Enter" and the addtress in the box is highlighted. Clicking help does not bring up anything detailing on how to upload or what to do if there is a problem. Question; Am I supposed to create a gallery first? if so, how?

Madam Bistro had returned quickly with the orders. Maxamilian's macchiato was quite stylish with the drop of milk swirled into the shape of a vanila blossom and had lingered to hear some of the conversaton as Arrow Plain jumped up on the table. Bistro shook her head in wonder, thinking * a flight school? For non-pegasi? Oh my! It's hard enough to think of travelling by baloon or pegasus cart as a passenger, but to take matters into my own hoof? I'll definitely pass... * She smiled brightly "Is everyone's order satisfactory?"
