Welcome to Ponyland

You look up and see in front of you a pink and blue castle. It's surrounded by a crystal clear blue moat with goldfish and angelfish swimming in them. You also see some strange things which look like seahorses. They're singing a song:
". . . .haven't got an oar, call upon the sea ponies, they'll see you to shore. Shoo-be-doo, shoop-shoop-be-doo! Are you sinking fast? Had a nasty shock?. . ."
As you enter the castle by way of the blue drawbridge, a slightly memory is triggered. Shoo-be-doo? What is that, Betty Boop? No, that's Boop-boop-de-doop. Shoo-be-doo.. But what, what is it? 'Sea ponies?' So familiar. . .
As you enter the main room to the castle, you find it empty. But is it? You think you hear noises over head. Looking around, you see a staircase which must lead upstairs to the voices. You head up the stairs and find a hallway with several doors. Only one thing to do. Go through each door and find out which is the one with the voices.
You open the first door you come to. It's painted gold with blue and pink sprinkles on it. As you step into the room, you find yourself suddenly confronted with a short, plump pony. She is a blue color with a pink mane and tail. She wears on her head a pointed yellow hat with pink streamers coming from it. On each flank, she has a jeweled crescent-moon. She grins at you and bats her eyelashes, tipped with light blue mascara and hooded with purple eyeshadow. Then, she does the most incredible thing: She speaks.

"Hi, there! My name is Princess Royal Blue. I run this place. Well, not yet. But once Majesty is gone, the pearly princess is ambitiously planning to take over."
There's a sound that resembles giggling. The pony newly indentified as Princess Royal Blue flicks her tail, looking slightly annoyed, briefly mutters something about the phrase 'High Queen,' then smiles at you again.
"Go ahead and take a look around. I wish I could stay and talk, but I'm going over to HORN to work."

"Horn?" you mutter. "What's that? She's going to work on a unicorn? Ridiculous. Unicorns don't exist."

"No? Do pegasi?"

Whoops. She heard you. You shake your head, "No, pegasi are make-believe creatures."

"Are they?" inquires a new voice. Royal Blue steps to the side with a slight grin. Standing behind her is a completely white pony with a jeweled tear drop on her side. But the remarkable thing is - she has wings. She's a pegasus.

"Meet Princess..." Royal Blue sighs and corrects herself, "High Queen Tiffany, pegasi extrodaniare."

"I'm the one who runs HORN," High Queen Tiffany says, "and I was just getting Royal Blue here to come help when you showed up."

"But what is HORN?" you ask.

Both ponies exchange glances, Royal Blue sighs quietly, and Tiffany turns back to you.
"It's those skinny ponies from Friendship Gardens. They aren't truly My Little Ponies. We're working to bring back the REAL, plumper ponies, along with several others-"
Royal Blue cuts in, "Yeah, and you can help! We believe that My Little Ponies were brought back with the help of you guys, and we think maybe you guys can help us bring us back!"
"Say 'us' one more time, Royal Blue," giggles Tiffany.
Royal Blue grins and looks to Tiffany. "Us. C'mon, we gotta go." She turns back to you. "Have fun exploring around Dream Castle. Oh, yes. The card shoppe on the bottom floor is temporily down. And requests sent in will not be processed. Further more, Spike will probably have a barbacue with them."

As if on cue, a little pink dragon with green spikes pokes his head in.

"Did someone call me?"

The two ponies roll their eyes and look slightly disgusted, or maybe a little more annoyed then disgusted. Tiffany frowns, "Spike, aren't you supposed to be working as the greetor? Royal Blue can't always be down there, you know. And look," she gestures at you with a hoof, "we have a visitor. I don't suppose you greeted them, did you? No, I suppose not. Come on, Spike, me and Royal Blue need to get to HORN and you. . . You need to get downstairs and greet visitors when they arrive. Come on, Royal Blue, let's hit it."

The two princesses head out of the room, followed by Spike. After a few seconds, Royal Blue pokes her head back in.

"If you want to join us at HORN. . ." She pulls a wand out of her hat and waves it in the air. A magical gateway appears, ". . .Come on through here."
