Shinygear

Shinygear smiled. "I'm glad to hear that." he said, very happy to have a new friend.

Like this?!

Anyways, I think I'd like to see more donkey's and mule's. I mean, they've only been used as the butt of some jokes, and one episode. That's it. I'd like to see what this species is to Equestria.

"We're friends?" Well, shucks." Shiny said, happily.

"I hope so!" Shiny said, grinning. "This IS going to be a new experience for me, really. I think I might've said this before, but I've never really explored Canterlot. I'm glad I have somepony to show me around." he said, chuckling a bit.

Shiny nodded, as he pulled out a rather broken looking camera. "You bet your bucket I do." he responded, as he hung the device around his neck.

"I've always wondered what it'd be like without a sister..." Shinygear said, wondering to himself. "My parents are the first ponies we see whenever we get back from our trips, and the fact that both of their children do what they love helps too."

Shinygear tapped his hoof upon his chin. "Hmm...you could say she does why do, but focuses more on wood as her primary material. As in, she makes stuff out of wood. Figurines, tools, she even made her own treehouse on her own in our backyard...that kind of stuff. What makes us more alike is that we LOOK alike. The big difference is she's blond, like my mother and less like my father."

Shinygear thought for a moment. "She has a cutie mark in woodcraft, and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't impressed by what she does. She's cheeky and impatient, but...well, she's family, we live together. She's alright."

Shinygear just grinned. "No problem, waiting is something I do a lot of. My sister tends to make millions of things she wants to do that I end up getting roped into waiting for anyways." he chuckled.

"Alright." Shinygear said, as he began to trot towards the door to the museum. "I should never have said anything...I already know how snobbish ponies can be here..." he said to himself.

Shinygear frowned. "I'm sorry, that was rude of me." he said after a short silence.

The batpony: the creature that appeared once in the series that was ruined by becoming the obvious evolution from the fanmade Alicorn. Here is an example.

Level 1: Red and black prince ninja Alicorn with mental issues and has a connection with all the mane 6.

Level 2: Red and Black Batpony with little difference in personality compared to the Alicorn.

See what I mean?

Shinygear trotted up to the piece, and grinned. "Seems like a fitting name." he said, as he looked on at the masterpiece. It appeared to be a replica of the original discord statue, and a very accurate one at that. "What I'd do to get my work put up in here...hey, you wouldn't happen to have any of YOUR art in here, would you?" Shiny asked.

Shinygear looked the painting over, then nodded. "I like the painting, but the little things are missing. Unfortunately, I've never really appreciated art like this, so I really don't know what else to say about this..." he said, smiling. Shinygear looked around at the rest of the art, and his eyes came across a section of items made of recycled metals and wire. "Wow..." he said to himself.

She

Shinygear nodded. "Sounds good to me!" He said, as he looked about at the wondrous sights to take in.

"Where ever you take me will be good enough for me: as long as I'm having fun and relaxing, I'll be happy being here!" he replied, after a few short seconds of thought. He then chuckled to himself. 'I need to visit Canterlot more often...'

Shinygear got up, and smiled. "Sounds great! Let's do it!" he said, as he threw his saddlebag up and onto his back, grabbing his toast and finishing it off quickly. 'This'll be the vacation ever!' he thought to himself, as he threw his canteen in his saddlebag and zipped it closed. "Wait...what about your shop?" he said, realizing it would have to be closed because of him.

Applebloom

Shiny sat back slightly and grinned. "It's a great place, and I'm glad to call it home. Always smells like the sea: I love it. I got good friends living there, my sister lives with me right now. Yes, everything is pretty grand. It isn't the best place in the world, but I'm happy living there. Definitely not the 'amazing vacation' type place that Canterlot is, of course." he joked.

Dropped

Shinygear smiled and took a bit from the toast. After swallowing, he smiled again. "This is very delicious, thank you for this meal!" Shiny said, bowing his head slightly.

"I must agree, Canterlot does seem like a wonderful place to live. I'd like to visit one of these museums you speak of today, as I've never gotten to see much of the true art here. Just a few shops and the houses of friends."
