Ponysona 4, the Campaign.

"I get the feeling you're dodging it, but alright, yeah, this is a lot to take in anyhow...Ice cream works for now." Melody nodded, grinning a bit. Besides, it tasted good...At least to her. "Besides, we probably should get a feel for each other if for no other reason than to know who we're working with. Can't have a good show if ya don't know your bandmates, right?"

"Yeah... Something like that..." The Striped Pegasus with a weird red eye said

"Heh, trust me, I got more'n a couple of things I wanna ask you later, stripes, but I don't figure here's the place. Plus if we all end up there, we know it wasn't a dream." She nodded, the nickname not meant to cause offense to the striped pegasus, but Melody grinned and nodded, her mane bobbing a bit as she did so. "So, ah, I guess lead the way, if ya want."

"Name's Zeela... Don't call me stripes..." The Pegasus mutters highly unhappy about being called that for some reason.

"Oh, whoops...Sorry, Zeela. Didn't mean to get under your skin like that," she said quickly, shaking her head. "Didn't know you had a problem with it...My bad."

Zeela takes a deep breath and sighs. "It's nothing major really... Just a bit of a long day... And last pony that called me that... Well... Don't wanta really think about her much right now."

"So like, dudette, can I have my board back now?" Brash asks Zeela.

"Oh right..." Zeela said then blushed as she returned Brash his board. "Don't know why I didn't think to return that sooner..."

"S'cool, don't worry about it." Brash says while he rolls over off the seat and lands on the board which does a little dip, nearly touching the floor, from the weight and then bobs back up.

"Alright! Reasonably priced desserts for all!" Sure, the enthusiasm was about as fake as Zeela's left eye, (or was it stage left eye? They're weird.) but business was business!

He gives a melodramatic pause, a physical beat panel. "Hey, I promised free to only a few ponies. My allowance isn't infinite." Lacking an immediate threat, Icing's mind began to wander. Heh. Sir Sugar. Made him sound like a big knight in those certain movies he most definitely did not watch.

"Hah, fair enough, Icing. Don't worry, I can pay my way...Though, I still dunno how to get out of here...Or rather, where the door's gonna put me if I just walk out of it... Melody paused a bit, realizing she'd said the last part of that out-loud, and laughed nervously.

"Well, let's find out then!" Brash says as he grabs Melody and flies them out through the door.

"Wait, wha-!?" She didn't get much time to finish that sentence before Brash grabbed her, pulling her along as she blinked in confusion.

Brash appears outside of the door in the mall, and Melody jerks awake wherever it was she drfted off. Also, the latter has a craving for Ice Cream.

"Well that didn't work. Guess I'll make a note of that." Brash said to himself.

Zeela's left eye, isn't fake, it's a real eye that's form another pony that was traded for an old artfiact from a Giant Snake God... Yes... That's where that red eye is from. Boy was Zeela's first campaign crazy.

Then the winged zebra nods to Arcana and heads to the exit as well.

Melody blinked, shaking her head as she came to and trying to get her bearings...That was...Possibly the weirdest dream she'd ever had. She made a mental note not to doze off in front of the TV ever again...But for now, ice cream sounded really good for some reason she couldn't put a hoof on. Hadn't that come up in the-...She decided not to dwell on it too much, there -was- that one place, she'd seen it a couple of times, but hadn't bothered actually going in...She set out for it, humming a tune to herself as she tried to puzzle out how she wanted it to sound.

George follows Zeela, hoping he'll just wake up in his bed and it will be that days morning again.

Arcana pushes Star through the door and he wakes up with the strongest craving for Ice cream ever.
Brash, Shiro, and Icing all stand outside the Mall Velvet Room Door, and Zeela and George are in the hospital one. With little effort, they all can easily find Icing's shop, Melody already there.

"Hello again..." Zeela said with a smile to the new allies that they had seen before.

"Hmm? Oh, hey!" Melody waved a hoof at the group happily as they arrived, smiling a bit...These were the same ponies from before..."So, I guess it wasn't a dream afterall? That's certainly odd, but it's good to see you again!" She was grinning, clearly not too worked up about it.

Brash nods to Melody and stares at Icing Sugar intently.

Shiro walks to the table, puts his head down, and snores softly.

"Ok... So who's going to keep an eye on Shiro?" Zeela asked hoping somepony else volunteers first.

"Well not me, I don't even know who that is." Star noted, walking in at that moment. "I believe this also crushes any embers left in my heart that it was just a dream. So, what's the situation, cause that made no sense back there. Explanation, now."
