A sandy yellow Baby Unicorn trotted into the shop-crammed streets. She looked about nervously, but then wondered why she was nervous. Sure, she would probably never see her Mother again but.... She wasn't the nervous type.
Come on, I'm in a new, exciting place. I've never been anywhere apart from outside of the temple... I've never seen another pony apart from mother. I've never been on an adventure like this before....
But then it struck her that her Mother was probably tearing her blue and gold hair out right now. She would die of starvation or loneliness...
No! She'll be alright. Maybe she'll press the switch like I did...
She carried on down the street.

Mainsail turned around and saw a baby unicorn. She trotted over to her. "Why, hello there." She said. She smiled at the baby pony. "My name is Mainsail. What's yours?" She asked the little unicorn. "Are you new here?"

Baby Anubis looked up at the pony infront of her: The first different pony she had ever seen. She was very different to her. A light blue body and white and yellow hair... As sun shone down onto them the white changed to pink... The sailboats over her were not just one - there were lots of them! She looked down at her own boring symbol. On it's own. She was so caught up in Mainsail's beauty she had forgotten to reply. "I'm Baby Anubis," She said. "I used to live in the Jewel Desert with my Mother in our temple. We lived there, had fun, ate, cried, laughed. We didn't leave. We couldn't. There was no exit." She paused, wondering how to set out her story. Would Mainsail think her voice was strange? What if she didn't like her?
Stop worring, it'll be fine... Maybe she can tell me how to get back to Jewel Desert...
She took a deep breath. "One day I was playing and I saw this sort of button on the wall... It had a picture of a pony on it. I pressed it, and I ended up here. It's quite nicer than my temple, but I want my Mom here too." She scuffed the ground with her little yellow hoof. She liked Mainsail, she was very pretty, and being the first other pony she ever saw, and that made her special.

Mainsail smiled. "Well, I'm sure you'll find your way back someday, little one." She said. "Why, I moved here not too long ago. I came from the countryside of Ponyland. My husband, Salty, wanted to stay in the countryside, but we are not divorced. We always write letters to each other." She explained to the baby pony. "I really miss him, but he might come visit someday. Anyways, about that button you saw on the wall, what did it look like?" She asked. She had seen a button on a wall before. But she never pressed it, because she was worried about the things it could've done to her. She was wondering if Baby Anubis pressed that same button. She waited for the baby pony's response.

The little yellow unicorn tilted her head to one side. Husband? Countryside? Divorced? What did all these strange words mean? She decided to keep her mouth shut about it, though. She didn’t want to look stupid. Baby Anubis thought hard about the button. It had only been a while ago, but the memories of the button seemed hazy… There had been lots of buttons in her temple. Some had been booby traps, some had been wall panels. She had liked to spin round very fast in the revolving doors. She would do that for hours… Her mind swivelled back to the button. It had been a colourful button, because that was why she had pressed it. The picture of the pony on it was blue with pink hair! That was it! “The pony had a blue body with pink hair.” She told Mainsail. “But the background of it, because it was a rectangle shape, was the same colour of the temple walls. But it was strange, because I had never seen it there before, and I had lived there for all my life.” Then she looked about Ponyville. She had been in such a daze that she had forgotten to note her surroundings. What a strange world it was to her! Huge stone or brick boxes lined strips of concrete, and some of the boxes had holes in them. Baby Anubis thought this was silly, having holes in a box, but then she saw they were filled with transparent material. Inside the holes were various items. One had strange sorts of food set out in the hole (or it was strange to her, compared to her Mother’s famous Scarab pie). Another had a sign above the door which she tried to read…. Her Mother had mainly taught her hieroglyphics, so she could read the beautiful inscriptions upon the wall. But she knew some English. “Black… Dragon… Inn!” She read proudly. She then gazed upwards. To her amazement, a blue sort of sheet was way up in the sky. Little puffs of white floated about on the sheet. She liked this: as it made a nice pattern. Then something else in the sky caught her eye – a glowing ball of spectacular light! Could this be then sun? She thought, as in many of the walls of the temple, lots of the stories told were about it. But on the walls they had drawn the sun a lot differently. The real sun was too bright too look at, whereas the suns in her temple had been little blobs of yellow. Also in the sky, black little birds flew. She knew about these because of the story in the Mummy chamber at her temple. It had been about a huge bird that roamed the sky all day… She had loved this story. Fancy seeing a real live bird!! Then she looked around the edges of the concrete strips, and saw a most unusual sight! Big long cylinder shapes of brown, hard material were growing up from the ground! The material sort of exploded at the top, with green little bits hanging off of it. She was amazed. Next, she looked to the outwards of Ponyville. Large, green bumps lay there with little green blobs growing on them. She looked back towards the brown thing. Maybe the green blobs were those, too. “Mainsail,” She said eventually, “What are all these things?”
(OCC: given you a tough job there!)

Mainsail looked around. Then she turned back to the baby pony. "Well, the shops of Ponyville, of course! Over there is the Bloomin Blossoms shop, and down toward your left is the Ponyville Center Stage, and down there is the Cotton Candy Cafe. I was just there with a few of my friends. I can't remember all of the shops, but I do know most of them. Someday I want to be the main lifegaurd of a beach here. I am a surfer if you didn't know that." Mainsail explained to Baby Anubis. She then remembered about the button. "Hmm, yes, I do believe I remember seeing a button with a blue pony with pink hair. I was really little. I think I could've been your age at the time." She said. "But I wasn't in a temple. I don't remember where I was." She said, thinking. "Anyways, what do you want to do? Maybe we can head to the Bloomin Blossoms shop, or perhaps Sparkleworks Confections." Mainsail said to Baby Anubis. She turned the corner, waiting for the baby pony to follow her.

She smiled and followed her. Maybe there was just one little chance... No! Why would she want to take in a stupid pony like her who didn't even know what a shop was? It was like Baby Anubis had just dropped from the sky: And Mainsail had to teach her everything. Surely she wouldn't want her around if the Baby was so stupid. She decided to forget about where she was going to live, and followed Mainsail. "What's a sparkleworks' confections?" She asked. "And a Blooming Blossoms? Are they... Are they.." She racked her mind to try to to remember that word... "Shops?" She exclaimed proudly.

Mainsail looked at the baby pony. "Why, yes. They are shops. Sparkleworks Confections is a candy shop. And The Bloomin Blossoms shop is a shop that sells flowers. I know that you're new here and that you are a baby pony and must know everything about Ponyville, but I haven't been in Ponyville that long to know about every single building here. So maybe you should ask someone else all these questions. Now, where do you want to go?" Mainsail explained, waiting for an answer from baby Anubis.

(ooc: just a quick note that you would have never known about Dazzle, because I dont think I ever wrote it, but Salty is actually Kailani's grandfather, and he died years ago. If you could pick one of the other BBs I would appreciate it, although if you dont want to its no big deal, he just wont ever be able to join the game.)

(OOC: But, I never knew, and I think that Salty and Mainsail are cute together. In my Ponyland, Salty is young. Can you make Kailani's grandfather a different BB? Please? I don't think any other BB would work for Mainsail. )

(OOC: I know it's Becka's RPG, but well, Mainsail's got a storyline here. And I don't want to change it because it's going really well so far. Plus, their names and symbols both have to do with boats. Plus they are both a aqua color. So I think that they are cute together. So, I don't really want to change it. )

(OCC: Awww... Are Mainsail and Salty gonna split up? I think they are cute together, but I suppose Becka is the owner of this site...)
Baby Anubis looked thoughtfully at Mainsail. She had no Idea where to go. And what on earth was candy? Can-dee. She liked the word. It sounded to delicious and rolled off her tounge. Mmmmmm.... "Lets go get some Can-dee!" She said happily. There were so many new things to learn! How would she ever fit them all inside her head? She remembered a story her mother ahd told her long ago. It was about this big buliding where lots of children went in the mornings. They learnt things like English and Math and Science.... They took tess-sts, but the little baby couldn't remember what those were. There were lessins and glassrooms. Imagine a room made completely of glass! She searched her mind again and remembered ponies called tee-cheers, who were the ones who taught the children things. But what was the name of the buliding? Sc... Sch... Scho...School! That was it. Baby Anubis loved it when her mind clicked like that. "Mainsail, is there a Sch- school around here?" She asked with a secret smile.

(OOC: You can keep her with Salty, but he cannot join this game even as a temp because he's already dead, and he's been dead in the storyline for almost 50 years. It can be a different Salty, one that just happens to look similar, but in this version of Ponyland the Hasbro Salty is dead.
I will also go try to put all of those G1 ponies who have died and whatnot on the MMB, but since this started out as a G3 game I didnt see it neccessary to begin with. *runs off to edit the list*)

(OOC: But in MY Ponyland, the Hasbro Salty is Mainsail's boyfriend. Not another Salty. I don't want to make it another Salty. Sorry. But I am not changing anything.) Mainsail looked at Baby Anubis. "Well, I don't think there's a school here." She said. "But we can go to Sparkleworks Confections and buy some candy." She said. She headed towards Sparkleworks Confections. "Are you coming?" She asked Baby Anubis. (cont. in Sparkleworks Confections.)
