Hors took his place as next in line, walking up to the cart casually.

"Vanilla! How you doin'! I haven't seen you since dat birthday party a month ago!" He said, smiling broadly, "Y'know, de one when Cherry had t' go t' dat convention dingy?"

... my transliteration of the "Trotston" accent is probably an insult... >.<

"Ooh! A foreigner!" Square Root says, excited. "Welcome...to...Trottingham," he says, gesticulating with his front hooves as he enunciates each syllable. "I...know...you...probably...don't...speak...our...language...but...don't...worry...I'm...good...at...figuring...these...kinds...of...things...out."

For the record, Trotston is just a new name for Boston. And he's not a foreigner. He lives in Trottingham.

"What you talking 'bout? I've lived 'ere for years!" The pony said, annoyance dripping from every syllable, "In fact, I've been caterin' 'ere t'ree years next dursday." He gave the, arguably more intelligent, pony a death glare.

Square Root shakes his head. "Okay, so maybe I'm not that good. Can somebody else translate?"

I'm well aware he's not "foreign". But the idea of Square Root being unable to decipher his accent was too funny not to pass up.

Ritardando, a black pony with a slouching head, walked along the road very slowly, as though afraid to accidentally bump into ponies. There were few things worse than bumping into a complete stranger, and everyone was a complete stranger to him. Even if he had met them, they'd be complete strangers, because he'd probably have forgotten. But then, he hadn't met them, so he hadn't forgotten.

And now he was confused. Back up, Ritardando. Just wandered into a town with a long name you can't piece together. You have a few coins in your dirty old saddlebag, and some blank papers. And you probably need a new pencil.

And there was somepony out with a cart, with several other ponies around it. A line, it seemed. He slowly walked up behind the person in the back. After about a minute of silence, he said quietly, "Um, what are we in line for?"

Vanilla shot Hors D'ourve a meaningfully irritated glance.

"We need to talk about that tofu burger stunt of yours after the party."

She looked at Square Root as if he'd just asked to take her cart apart to see how it ticks.

"I'd really rather you didn't do that, sir" she said nervously. "The recipe's kind of a family secret..."

"Look, if you wanna complain 'bout dat, you shoulda said some'in' when I was makin' de menu! It's not my fault if your cousin's wife's motha has allergies!" Hors said, trying to defend himself. "Anyways, you have dat double chocolate swirl I love so much?"

Vanilla Bean narrowed her eyes, stamping on the ground irately.

"Do you realize how much my entire family depends on cows to make our living, Hors? Maybe you can go non-dairy, but if we can't get milk to Trottingham, Cherry and I could have lost our horseshoes! Bad enough colt Stones are springing up closer and closer, and Four Star's gonna show up at our next family gathering, now you have to get Ferdinand's entire herd riled up just because you want to experiment with creepy fake meat? Did they put your horn in backwards?!"

She took a deep breath, then flinched back.

"I... I'm just worried about my sister's business is all..."

Vanilla just sighed.

"...I can't fight with you about this now, Hors, okay? Here's your fudge swirl. Bring me an alfalfa on white bread, and I'll try not to be mad at you until tomorrow, okay?"

Square Root squints at Vanilla Bean. "Wait. You can understand him? And he understands English?"

"...It's an accent. Not another language."

Square Root looks back at Hors, slightly confused.

Ritardando's ears pricked up. He managed to piece together various bits of the conversation, particularly things like "fudge swirl," and figured that it had something to do with ice cream.

Ooh! So it was an ice cream cart! That was something nice, he thought. He pushed his way forward a bit. "Ice cream?" he asked. "Can I have one? Please?" he looked around, making sure he wasn't going to annoy those three ponies who were discussing whether or not an accent was a different language.

He thought about it. Nnnoooope, pretty sure there was more to a language than just a stupid accent.

Vanilla bean sighed heavily. So much for crowd control.

"Here," she said, serving up a scoop of Neapolitan swirl and passing it off to Square Root. "You should probably eat it before it melts."

She turned to Ritardando.

"Yes, you can have some... But please get back in line?"

"Oh, sorry..." Ritardando said, going to the back of the line.

Stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid.

Square Root shakes his head furiously as he forces his brain back into reality. "Oh, thanks," he says, grabbing the cone in his hoof, then returning his gaze to Hors, waiting for him to say something.

"What, you want an autograph?" He said, trying to muffle his accent a bit, but failing miserably, "And I'll get that sandwich right away, Vanilla, don' you worry." And after he said that, he made his way back to the kitchen area to finish said sandwich.

Vanilla Bean stared after the sad-looking Earth pony as he slunk to the back of the line.

She took a deep breath... And prepared for the total breakdown of order. But a pony had to do what a pony had to do.

"You can get yours first," she said with an exaggerated sigh. "But only because I've never seen a pony so desperately in need of a root beer float."

Artsy had gotten back to his station just as he was finnishing up his ice cream cone. "That was delicious!" He exclaimed happly. Cols Comfort ice cream never failed to get him in a good mood.

He looked over to Ms. Tanner and asked "Are you ready for me to start?".

If Ritardando had been a little smarter, he'd have been very embarrassed at the fact that he'd essentially cut in line.

Ritardando, however, was not a little smarter. "Ooh! I can have a root beer float?" he perked up so heavily that the few coins he had in his pouch jingled.

Vanilla Bean blinked in confusion, but her offer seemed to have done the trick. A tall cup of root beer, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream was soon waiting for the strange pony.

"Here you go."

There was something about the newcomer that caught Square Root's eye. An odd but compelling thought floated across his mind. Whether it was logic or some strange impulse shared by eccentric minds across the multiverse, he couldn't say, but somewhere in the depths of his consciousness, a little man in a labcoat flicked a switch and laughed as lightning crackled.

"Oh, excuse me," Square Root said, "but you're new around here, ain'tcha?"

The little man in the labcoat slapped his forehead. Mad science and the pony propensity for politeness did not mix.

"I'll take three scoops of strawberry!" The Crimson Wonder said, Special Delivery's voice coming through the cracks in his theatrics.

Vanilla Bean ribbed her temples, then put three scoops of Strawberry in a bowl and gave it to the costumed pegasus along with a spoon.

"Next!" she called urgently.
