As you board the Friendship Express, you find yourself a cozy window seat with a perfect view of the passing landscapes, offering a pleasant backdrop for your journey to the Crystal Empire. However, exhausted from packing, you soon grow tired and gradually drift to sleep. Hours later, a sudden shout jolts you awake.

"Well, howdy! My name is Peachbottom! Ms. Peachbottom!"

Says a sand-colored mare leaning in far too close, as she eagerly extends her hoof toward you. In your flustered state, you miss the queue for her handshake and she retracts her hoof, launching into a monologue about her travel plans and dreams for the future. Occasionally, she nudges your shoulder and giggles.

"Oh, where are my manners? Here I am ramblin' on like a babblin' brook when I haven't even gotten your name yet! So, what is it, stranger?"
