My Little Pony: Changelings

A brown train was traveling across the barren plains towards Appleloosa. Starry Night lay on the bed, looking at the scenery outside the window, feeling deeply moved.

"It's incredible that there's a train here. Appleloosa? What happened?"

"The stars are shining brightly, what are you looking at?"

"The scenery, the scenery outside the window, Rainbow Dash, we are about to go to a pioneer town, and we are going to meet a group of pioneers. Do you know? Pioneering always involves blood and fire."

"what?"

Rainbow Dash looked confused, not understanding what Starlight was talking about. She then turned around and spoke to Spike.

"Add some more heat, my popcorn doesn't seem to be cooked yet."

As the fire went on, all the popcorn turned into ashes, leaving only one popcorn that hit Rainbow Dash on the head, then fell down and was caught and swallowed by the stars below.

"Mmm~ it tastes just right."

As the moon gradually rose, the ponies fell asleep, but Spike was too noisy, so he went to sleep under the apple tree and stayed silent all night.

The next morning, Qunxing Huanghuang was awakened by the noisy noise outside the train. He threw away his blindfold, looked outside, and found a group of bison running beside the train.

"Oh, it's a circus."

"No, I don't think so."

Rainbow Dash ran out quickly, leaving the other ponies alone, while Starlight was in a daze of sleep.

"Everyone, what happened? Did the natives and the settlers fight?"

The carriage with Spike Dragon was taken away by the bison. Qunxing Huanghuang shook her head and prepared to chase after him, but Twilight Sparkle was obviously worried about Qunxing Huanghuang. His mental state was not right and he was still a little confused. She was afraid that he would do something out of line, so Twilight Sparkle asked Qunxing Huanghuang to get off the train before making plans.

The train soon arrived at their destination, Appleloosa, and Braeburn came to greet them cheerfully as soon as they got off the train. Without waiting for Applejack to say anything, he took them around most of the frontier.

The other ponies were unhappy because of Spike's incident, but the stars were watching with great interest. The town full of western cowboy flavor was really unique. But what is a salt bar? Shouldn't it be a bar?

"Braeburn! Your town is indeed beautiful, but we have a big problem now. Our friends are missing."

"The Great Buffalo Run."

"Took Spike Dragon away."

"Rainbow Dash can catch up. We can't find Pinkie."

"I brought an apple tree, and they took it away too."

As the group of ponies quarreled, Braeburn had only one word in his mind: buffalo!

Then Braeburn began to complain about the barbaric behavior of the bison and talked about their violence.

At this time, Qunxing Huanghuang, who was standing next to Twilight Sparkle, turned his head and whispered to her.

“A typical pioneer and indigenous story, would you like to hear it?”

"what?"

Twilight Sparkle was a little confused. She hadn't thought about these things yet, but the Stars had enough knowledge about this kind of thing. After all, this kind of thing was not a precedent. Just like Manehattan, it was also a pioneer town before, but now? The group of natives could not find any trace at all. Only the nobles had a few pieces of information, which just briefly mentioned the blood and tears of the war experience.

The next day, just as Twilight Sparkle and the others were about to rescue Rainbow Dash and the others, they met Rainbow Dash outside the town. Rainbow Dash then started arguing for the land on behalf of Daring, and Applejack started arguing on behalf of Braeburn.

“Who is negotiating here?”

The stars joked to Twilight Sparkle, who looked helpless and then spoke loudly.

"Okay, stop arguing. Both the pony and the bison have the right to use this land. There must be a way to solve this problem."

"Uh... no."

Twilight Sparkle looked angrily at the ignorant Qunxing Huanghuang beside her, while Qunxing Huanghuang had a wandering look and whistled to ease the awkward atmosphere.

"Oh, I have an idea."

Pinkie said loudly, and as the bison and ponies gathered in one place, Pinkie built a stage and sang and danced on the stage, while the stars spoke to Twilight Sparkle from the audience.

"What a lovely girl, but this is a naked interest issue, which cannot be solved by singing alone. Now the Bison still have a slight chance of negotiation, but after Appleloosa is truly established, they will be completely destroyed."

"What do you mean? What do you know?"

Twilight Sparkle thought about what Starlight said and wanted to ask him what he thought. Starlight smiled at Twilight Sparkle.

"It's not the right time yet. Wait, you will understand in a moment."

After Chief Buffalo and Sheriff Silverstar set the time for the battle, they left, leaving Twilight Sparkle and the others to face each other, while Starlight waved to Twilight Sparkle to follow him.

Qunxing Huanghuang walked up to Sheriff Yinxing, who was stacking hay, and patted him on the shoulder.

"Sheriff Silver Star, I think you need an idea, and I happen to have one. Would you like to hear it?"

Then Qunxing Huanghuang brought the confused Sheriff Silverstar and Twilight Sparkle to the Salt Bar. Qunxing Huanghuang pushed the door and went in. Because the war was about to start, the Salt Bar was empty, even the bartender was not there.

I saw Qunxinghuanghuang didn't care at all and sat down on the chair in the corner.

"Okay, Pony, what do you want to tell me? I'm still busy with the restoration project."

Sheriff Silverstar looked impatient as he was busy taking responsibility for the entire town, while Stars spoke to him.

"My sheriff, there is no need to go through so much trouble. All you need to do is divide a path in the middle of the apple orchard for them to run on, and use some of the apples to block the buffaloes' mouths. Then the buffalo chief will have no way to object.

Don't look at me like that, Sheriff Silverstar, that's how Manehattan used to be, but what about now? Are there still goats there? It's all ponies! This is going to be the next Manehattan!"

"Are you serious? Also, did Manehattan ever have goats?"

Sheriff Silverstar was puzzled. What goat? Why had he never heard of it? Wasn't Manehattan a barren land? Did other animals ever live there?

"This involves the secrets of those nobles again. Do you want to hear it?"

"No, not at all, but your plan, uh... let me think about it."

Sheriff Silver Star shook his head quickly. He knew what he should know and what he shouldn't know. Then he combed his beard with his hooves and kept thinking.

"Very good, Sheriff Silverstar, I look forward to your wise decision. Your family will become the next Sapphire Family."

Qunxing Huanghuang took Twilight Sparkle out of the Salt Bar and said relaxedly.

"See, the war problem is solved."

Twilight Sparkle suddenly accelerated forward, stopped Qunxing Huanghuang, and said to him.

"What do you know?"

The stars said to Twilight Sparkle.

"This is the blood and tears history of capital. If you want to hear it, I will tell you..."

Twilight Sparkle's eyes widened as she listened to Starlight's story.

"No wonder the Princess of the Universe asked me to follow you. Your cognition is really dangerous."

"No, this is the inevitability of history. Either join the train or be crushed into dust."

"But...but this is not fair, the buffaloes...they will be erased from history."

"Don't look at me like that. If you are interested, you can ask Jueying, the top official in charge of the Education Association. He will tell you the course of history and his plan to fool the people that has been passed down from generation to generation.

Just think about it, what is this place? Little Equestria! Little Equestria."

Twilight Sparkle's eyes flickered, as if she was unwilling. Suddenly, a light flashed in her eyes, as if she remembered something, and then she caught up with the stars.

"Wait, I thought you said they still had a chance of survival, what is that?"

Looking at Twilight Sparkle's appearance, Starlight suddenly thought of Sorace.

"You sure you want to know?"

Finally, Sheriff Silver Star called Bison here for negotiations and gave his conditions. However, what Sheriff Silver Star did not expect was that Bison suddenly came to his senses and insisted on their new conditions, threatening with the railway, demanding that they either develop together or get worse.

Unfortunately, this was the early stage of development and they did not have enough confidence to fight to the death, so they could only agree to the conditions of Chief Buffalo.

"Thank you very much, Miss Twilight Sparkle. As a pony, you are able to help us bison think. I thank you on behalf of the bison."

"You're welcome, Chief Buffalo. This is my duty as a messenger of friendship."

On the way back, Twilight Sparkle began to explain the reasons to the ponies. Of course, she only explained what she could say. Then she said that she would open a school in the future to teach students of other races about friendship.

Qunxinghuanghuang looked at the delighted Twilight Sparkle and the other ponies who were very interested, smiled, then buried his head under the bean pillow and took a nap.
